Chapter 32 - Loss (He couldn't find relief but he also somewhat enjoyed it) (1)

He was frantically looking for her? How was this
possible?

A dull cry reached her ear and Xu Lisa, finally
recollected herself walked up to them quickly. "I am
right here...."

The man on the ground had already rolled his eyes
and passed out in pain.

Mu Jungkook stood up straight and looked at her, his
eyes filled with biting coldness. He took two steps
forward and chastised her, "Who said you could go
running around?"

Xu Lisa was startled as well. She opened her
mouth a little and said in a soft voice, "I... I just came
out for some fresh air."

Unexpectedly, Mu Jungkook grabbed her wrist
forcefully the next second and started dragging her
in the other direction.

Noticing that it didn't look right, Shen Mingyu stepped in front of the two of them and said, "Boss Mu, let's be reasonable here."

Mu Jungkook didn't care about him at all but just
bumped him off with his broad shoulder.

Xu Lisa was dragged to the garden behind the
venue by him.

Ruthlessness exuded from him and the entire pack
of cigarettes was roughly pulled open. Even the
wrapper was forn and a segment of the tobacco
leaves were exposed. He paused in the middle of his
action for a second and shoved the cigarettes back
into his pocket.

Xu Lisa could tell that he was trying as hard as
he could to keep his emotions under control. She just
didn't know what had set him off.

Mu Jungkook's temples were throbbing. As if he had finally made up his mind, he stared at her viciously and questioned her, "Who said you could just run around like that?"

Xu Lisa replied honestly, "I couldn't chime in to
your conversations and it was hot inside, so I came
out for some fresh air."

"It's hot inside?" He reached out his slender and long finger, flicked the strap on her dress, then he tugged the collar of his suit jacket. "I am wearing way more than you are."

"I am different from you." She said calmly, trying
as best she could to not enrage him. "My body
temperature is higher than yours. I can withstand the cold weather but not any heat at all."

He was still staring at her without saying a word.

"I am serious." Her look was more genuine.

Years of being a demon have taught her to fight when she could or try and reason when she couldn't.

Nonetheless, the man in front of her was still
unmoved. His eyes were like two cold lakes, and she
couldn't read his emotions in them.

Xu Lisa sighed, stood on her toes, and placed her hand on the back of his head.

That way their foreheads would touch each other.

This position looked so affectionate that anyone who saw them together would believe in what she had just said - JJK had gone bankrupt and she was still staying with him. This was true love.

Mu Jungkook couldn't explain why his heartbeat had
intensified. And then, a frustration rose from inside
of him and filled his chest.

It was not the same as the anger that he felt when
he noticed that Xu Lisa was gone and that his old
man's lackey was still watching him. There was a
shred of sweetness mixed in this frustration.

He couldn't find relief but he also somewhat enjoyed
it.

Her forehead was burning up in a very obvious way, as though she was running a high fever. But she had no other symptoms tonight other than saying that she felt hot.

Her little hand was clumsily placed on the back of his head, and her mouth was tightened stiffly, looking like she was trying very hard to convince him.

Seeing her like that, Mu Jungkook's heart softened
a little. He took a deep breath and suddenly
remembered the day when it was pouring and she
insisted on sleeping on his couch because she was
afraid of thunder.

That night, when he carried her onto bed, her body
touched his abdomen. Surely, her temperature was
slightly higher than his.

He was speechless but all of his anger was gone.
