The Noble Woman's Guide On How to Tease One's Husband

Chapter 59- Confrontation

Hoony did not expect he would set foot in King Kook's mansion one day. He avoided it when she got married yet now he had no choice but to come because Lisa was ill.

The incense drifted faintly and the candle burnt quietly while the slight sounds of occasional crackling were particularly jabbing to the ears amidst the silence.

When Lu Heng came out after completing his diagnosis, Hoony and Jungkook were waiting together outside. As a doctor, he naturally was unhappy seeing his patient's condition getting worse, so his words were a little too harsh. Both of them listened in silence when Hoony rushed in without uttering a word, only to be blocked by Yugyeom in front of the door.

"Get out of the way, I want to take Lili away."

Jungkook got up slowly and walked to him before stating solemnly, "She's not going anywhere. This King will take good care of her."

Hoony's anger burst out all of the sudden, "Are you calling this taking good care of her by letting her go out in this kind of weather?"

Hearing that, Jungkook chided coldly, "Who did she brave the snowstorm to go pick up? You are really good to suddenly just turn hostile and leave her alone in the snow. Have you ever thought about her feelings?"

"Aren't you clear why I turned hostile? If it wasn't for you, would we brother and sister be in this situation?"

The moment he recalled all the grievances Lisa had suffered previously, he became agitated. His handsome eyes seemed to have flames surging within them and went straight at Jungkook, not caring what his status was with the intention of settling old scores with new ones.

"In that case, you and I have nothing to say."

Jungkook's face sank and the scene was on the verge of breaking out. Right at this moment, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed outside the window where small cracks split the dark canopy of heavens with striking heavy downpour. The eaves tiles were rattled by bean-sized raindrops and masked the sound of low coughing which however, did not escape the ears of them both.

Lisa has woken up.

The stalemate of their confrontation was instantly lifted. The two men pushed the door to get in one after another and saw Lisa propping her arms trying to sit up on the bed, so they immediately strode over to support her.

"Lili, what are you doing up? Lie back down quickly."

After Lisa had taken the medicine, she had taken a nap again. Her rosy small face looked resplendently moving, appearing a lot better than this morning and merely her throat felt a little sore, hence her voice was particularly soft.

"Elder Brother, I'm fine and just want to sit up."

Fetching two soft pillows, Jungkook stuffed them behind her back then out of habit grasped her slender hands as he spoke, "When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"

"I've just woken up and about to call you when you came in."

Yugyeom, who is guarding behind the round door, immediately wiped his sweat when he heard this and thought to himself 'ittle brat, you've really woken up at the right time, these two people would have started a fight if it was a little later.'

Little did he realize that Hoony's anger at this moment had yet to be subdued and the gripping of those ten fingers were like thorns pricking his eyes. He just wanted to pull Lisa's hands out. After staying reticent for ages, he finally quelled his anger and was just about to open his mouth when he heard Lisa said, "Elder Brother, don't you have things to do? Go get busy. There's no need to watch over me here."
