Chapter 13 - She Is Not the Same Xu Lisa as
Before Anymore (1)

Traffic was awful on their way towards the river.
Xu Lisa could tell that Mu Jungkook was not happy
so she kept silent docilely on the way. She didn't even
pull out her cellphone and looked at it during the trip.
She wanted to minimize her sense of existence as
much as possible.

Waiting at a traffic light, Mu Jungkook finally turned
his attention from the car, looked at Xu Lisa, and
asked, "Why didn't you tell me about your hardship
over at Silver Star?"

Without her power, Xu Lisa wasn't willing to take
any chances and piss off the king of Hell. She
quickly replied, "You have enough to worry about
already, so I didn't think I'd need to bother you with
such minor issues. Plus, didn't you not want others to
know about our relationship? I am just your excuse
for your family, I can handle my own problems."

Lo and behold, Mu Jungkook's face darkened even
more after he heard that "When have I said that I
don't want others to know about us?"

That question made Xu Lisa speechless – she
was pretty sure that Mu Jungkook said it to the original owner before in the book.

But, she wasn't sure whether he had already said it
or not at this point in time.

She decided to just avoid the topic altogether, "Don't
worry. There was nothing serious, and I am more
than capable of handling them."

"How are you going to handle them? Fight with
someone again?" He gave her a sideward glance, and his look could freeze her on the spot. "What happens when you get yourself hurt?"

His question suggested that he not only knew about
her being bullied at Silver Star, he even knew about
the incident of her twisting Zhou Tzuyu arm at the
filming location that afternoon.

That was odd. JJK had gone bankrupt, and most
of the people had taken off already. He should have
so much stuff to take care of how'd he has the time to care about what was going on with her?

"Anything that happens in the future, you can feel
free to tell me." When the light turned green, mu
Jungkook stepped down hard on the gas pedal and
passed the car next to them. "Don't just take it all on
yourself."

Xu Lisa was very flattered. "Alright."

The villain in front of her was so friendly that he
almost seemed like a completely different person
than the one described in the book.

The apartment that they were going to move into
was located at a new little district by the river. The
apartments were smaller in size, and most of the
residents were young white-collared workers.

They lived on the top floor, and it was a 3-bedroom
place. Mu Jungkook went back and forth a few times to unload all of their luggage.

Even though there were elevators, there was still a
bit of distance between the car to the elevator and
the elevator to the apartment. Mu Jungkook carried all the large and small boxes himself and only asked Xu Lisa to help with holding open the door or hitting
the buttons inside the elevator and nothing else.

It was as though he had unlimited energy.

After everything was unpacked, it was already
midnight. Xu Lisa was tired from all the work,
so she just went to bed. When she woke up the next
morning, Mu Jungkook had already woken up and
gotten dressed.

Even living in such a small house, he was still able to
take in everything calmly and in stride. Supposedly
only one that could easily adapt to any new situations
like him would be able to make such an amazing
comeback later.

Mu Jungkook stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling
windows, lit up a cigarette, turned, and saw the
groggy Xu Lisa walking towards him. He asked

"First time living somewhere as a peasant?"

Xu Lisa had already gotten used to all the traps
in his words and had also trained herself to say
flattering words whenever. She walked over to
him calmly and said, “I like this place. The river is
magnificent and lots of people on both sides of it.
Looking down from here, it's half water and half
people bustling around. The scenery is quite unique."

Mu Jungkook cast a somewhat dubious look and said coldly, "Glad you can get used to it. I need to go out for a little bit. You enjoy."

She only pulled out her cellphone after he had
taken off There were 506 WeChat messages and

all of them from Xiao Rose. One of them was letting
her know that Fang Lin had already got her the role
in "The Blossoming Us" and that she could join the
filming crew whenever.

Xu Lisa replied to the WeChat message and
cocked her head to appreciate the scenery around
the apartment. She wasn't lying before, the view here was nice. And, this being the top floor, she couldn't imagine the pricing being too low.

She put away her phone, opened up the script,
took a few selfies, and sent them to Xiao Rose. She
captioned them with "not enough Time To Love You'
had finished filming. Flipping over to a new page with the new script. From now on, everyday will be the blossoming us."
