Chapter 40 - Cuteness (“But I am interested in you")

Xu Lisa nonchalantly glanced over at her and
said to Zhang Han, "It's alright, we are actresses
in the same crew. There is no need to make things
awkward between us. Yuqi probably didn't do it
on purpose. She probably just happened to run into
me discussing some issues with Jiang Taehyung and
took the picture just for fun. We are still young. I
trust that she would be more experienced in handling
situations like this in the future."

Having said that she nodded slightly, walked past
Zhang Han, and gracefully entered her own nanny
van.

She had excellent hearing and could hear Zhang Han
asking Chang Yuqi in an angry, low voice, "You took the picture? Do you just want to create more work for me?"

Xu Lisa smiled slightly and closed the door to her van.

When she arrived home, Mu Jungkook just stepped
out of the shower. He was topless with a loosely-fit
pair of shorts. There were still water droplets on his body, showing that he had come out of the shower.

Xu Lisa was smiling when she walked inside the
house. She was startled when she saw the beautiful
lines of his abdominal muscles. She looked away and
turned to walk toward her bedroom.

He called out to her from behind. "Xu Lisa"

Resigned, she stopped in her steps.

"I've heard that you have redeemed yourself at
the filming location. Aren't you going to share?" He
walked over to her at a moderate pace. Putting his
hands on her shoulder, he turned her around so she
faced him.

The moisture from the shower, mixed in with his scent that could make one's heart beat faster, enveloped her in a very domineering manner.

She could see his sturdy chest and his very-defined
clavicle. every inch of his tightened muscle exuded
the beauty of strength. Two scars on his waist
extended under his shorts. They were violent and
seducing at the same time.

She tightened her lips a bit. Her red lips were
luminating. She said, "I didn't think Mr. Mu would
be interested in such minute events inside the
entertainment circle."

"You are right about that." He squinted his eyes
slightly. Remaining quiet for a little bit, he carried on
and said, "But I am interested in you. What can I do,
Xu Lisa?"

Her eyes widened a bit, and there was a shred of
cute franticness inside of them.

That kind of cuteness forced its way into his heart,
making it beat faster. A sense of dry heat rose up
inside of him, his heart throbbed. He knew that no
matter how calm and serene she was when faced
with all sorts of backstabbing and drama within the
entertainment circle, she always exposed her soft and shy side in front of him.

He looked at her in a teasing way while waiting for
her answer.

Suddenly, her phone started ringing at the worst of
time.

She wasn't sure whether she should pick it up or
not. She thought about stalling until the other person
hung up, unfortunately, as soon as it stopped ringing, it started up again.

She had no choice but to open up her purse and pull
out her phone.

She could see the caller ID on the screen: Jiang Taehyung.

A dangerous sense crossed his eyes, and Mu Jungkook spoke again. "I see that you two have already exchanged your numbers. Aren't you going to pick it up?"

Feeling awkward, Xu Lisa shook her head. "He
didn't give it to me. Eun-jie was the one who gave it to me. I never dialed this number before.... I can't believe it's the right number."

Having no other choice, she answered the call.

Jiang Taehyung's cheerful voice came over from the other end immediately. "Lisa, I have resolved all
the PR issues for you today. Feel free to let me know if you need anything else."

It all started because of him. Wasn't it his job to take
care of those PR issues to begin with?

Xu Lisa was baffled, but she replied politely,
"Thank you."

Jiang Taehyung, on the other end, did not give up.

He stressed again strongly, "I did all those things
personally despite the great pressure from my
agent. I've only done all those for you."

Xu Lisa could sense clearly the unmistakable
killer's intent radiating from Mu Jungkook.
