Be Gentle, Please!

“Young master.”

“Young master.”

When it was very late into the night, Jungkook returned to the mansion. His long legs in straight military trousers stepped out of the car door. His face was cold as he strode past the housekeepers and maids who bowed to him and stepped into the main hall of the mansion.

Mother Jeon was playing music on the gramophone on the sofa. When she saw Jungkook coming back, she looked back at him, continued to play with the gramophone, and asked casually, “Have you eaten?

“Yes.” Jungkook did not stopped. Seeing that Lisa was not in the main hall, he went directly to the side hall and went upstairs.

Mother Jeon glanced in the direction of the side hall, and smiled helplessly and happily.

As soon as he came back, he went straight upstairs, but he hadn’t seen her for a day. How anxious was he to see her daughter-in-law?

Jungkook that went upstairs did not go to the study first as usual, but went directly to the master bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom door, he saw Lisa holding a towel and nightdress, ready to take a bath.

Seeing him came back, Lisa also asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Yes.” Jungkook’s eyes fell on her face.

She put on light makeup and should have gone out today.

“Oh, then…” Seeing his sharp eyes staring at her without blinking, Lisa thought he wanted to have sex, so she raised the clothes on her arms and said shyly, “I’ll go take a shower first.”

“Wait.” Jungkook closed the door behind him and walked towards her. His tone was casual as he asked, “Where have you been today?”

He looked calm at this time, and Lisa couldn’t see the breath he had been holding this whole time, she replied blankly, “No, I’ve been at home whole day.”

“…” Jungkook’s eyes darkened, looking at the faint blush on her face and asked, “Then why do you wear makeup?”

“When I feel like it, I just apply, does it look good?” Seeing that he noticed her makeup, Lisa asked expectantly.

She was quite satisfied with her makeup today, he will also think it looks good, right?

“…” Jungkook’s heart sank, and he didn’t answer her question, but just pointedly said, “You apply make up every day.”

Not only did she put on makeup when she was in the mood, in fact, since she had got the set of makeup from Eunwoo, she used it happily every day.

He thought it was normal before, but after learning Eunwoo’s identity today, he felt very uncomfortable.

“…What’s wrong?” His cold attitude made Lisa finally aware of the strangeness and asked cautiously.

“Is it Eunwoo who gave you the cosmetics?” Jungkook asked directly.

“Yes.” Lisa nodded her head.

“Are you good friends?” he continued to ask.

“…Yes.” Lisa nodded again.

“…”

Jungkook lowered his eyes and began to pace in the room. His leather boots made heavy footsteps on the carpet. After pacing for a few steps, he stood still, “Your good friend is always against me recently.”

“Huh?” Lisa didn’t know why.

Jungkook looked back at her, “I ordered 100 penicillins a while ago, and he deliberately withheld 70. I sent someone to negotiate but there was no results. Today I went to him in person but to no avail. His attitude was arrogant and not like a doctor but like a commander-in-chief!”

He wanted to see her attitude towards this matter.

Lisa was surprised, “Why did he withhold it?”

“He said that there is no war at present, so he withheld the medicines incase there’s emergency in the hospital.” Jungkook told the truth.

He was not a person who reversed black and white in order to gain recognition. After all, he thought that Eunwoo violated the contract this time, it was Eunwoo’s fault, and he has nothing to hide.

“Then…” Lisa held the towel and said slowly, “This seems to be excusable…”

From Eunwoo’s point of view, it was only natural for him to think about the hospital and the patients first.
