Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

Chapter 72 - "Is there anything else on your mind
other than the $50 million?" (2)

Having said that, Mu Dara looked over at Aunt Hu who was still yakking on the phone. She pulled the apron off of Xu Lisa and said suggestively, "That's
enough. Xiao Tong and the others can finish off the
rest. From now on, we really need to implement some sort of merit system. The hardworking ones can be free to take the bird's nest and shark fins home, the ones who slacks all the time, we should just kick out."

Aunt Hu might look like she was talking on the phone
but she was really paying attention as to what
was going on in Xu Lisa's direction. Feeling
embarrassed from Mu Dara's words, she quickly
hung up on the phone and ran back inside of the old
madam's room.

Mu Dara was the old madam's favorite daughter.

She was kept by the old madam's side to see her off on her final days. Aunt Hu might speak to Mu Jungkook and Mu Sehun as though she was their elder but she would not dare go up against Mu Dara.

This dinner could rival the up until the point that Xu Lisa and Mu Jungkook were leaving, neither Wang
Lia nor the old madam showed up again.

That night, "Blossoming Us" has a few more scenes to finish up so Mu Jungkook took Xu Lisa back to the studio. On their way back, Xu Lisa told Xiao Rose
to send the watch and the brooch from Brand B
over to the Mu's. The brooch for the old madam and the watch for Mu Dara.

Mu Jungkook sat in the backseat with his eyes close, resting. After Xu Lisa got off the phone with Xiao Rose, he slowly opened up his eyes and said, "You are giving way that expensive watch? Aren't you worry that you won't be able to make your money back?" Xu Lisa smiled and said the same thing again, "I have good work ethics."

Mu Jungkook, hearing that, suddenly looked at her in all seriousness. He turned toward her and asked, "Xu Lisa, are there anything else in your mind other
than our $50 million contract?"

His question was abrupt and didn't have enough time
to process what he meant by that She just casually
responded to him, "You were the one who brought up
whether I can make my money back..."

Mu Jungkook gave her a displeased look, rotated his body back, and looked outside of the window.

For some odd reasons, Xu Lisa felt that he looked
a bit lonely from behind.

This was the middle of summer and the air was
stuffy and the cicadas chirped loudly. Inside the
car was eerily quiet. Her mind went blank for a few
seconds before she suddenly realized what he meant by 'anything else'. She looked at him and asked softly, "What about you? Are there any?"

Looking at the neon lights outside, Mu Jungkook's tall and slender body shuddered. After a little while, he finally said softly, "More than you do."

Xu Lisa was stunned by his comment all of a
sudden.

When she wanted to say something else, the car had
already arrived at their destination and stopped
abruptly. Mu Jungkook didn't say anything else but
walked out walked around to her side of the car,
and opened the door for her. "The coconut is in the
trunk. Drink lots of fluid and come home soon."

Xu Lisa walked past him with her head lowered
but he caught sight of the blush on her nonetheless.

Looking at her petite back, his lips curved upward
softly.

"Blossoming Us" was a period drama. Part I focused on life in school. That way there was a lot of group scenes. Coincidentally, there was a nerd type character in the male and female leads' class who wore thick glasses, bowl-cut hair, mature and a bit impatient.

The person who played this nerd has a pretty good
relationship with Xu Lisa. He was also a very
by-the-book kind of person in real life and looked
just like a traditional doctor.

Xu Lisa asked him to take on the task of
pretending to be a traditional doctor to go treat Mu Sehun and promised him the payment equivalent to
what he makes filming for one episode of the show.

The nerd was very happy about the offer and
promised her profusely that he'd do a good job.
