Chapter 104 - Feeling Un just ("Is it that mu's that you don't like or is it me?") (2)

Before either one of the two of them had responded, Mu Sehun looked up and toasted Xu Lisa with his wine glass. "Congratulations, Miss Xu. You have been scheming every day and going above and beyond. Your dream to marry into a prestigious family has finally come true."

Xu Lisa gave him a look.

She knew that Mu Sehun was just goading her. He
wanted her to turn it down. She had set him quite a
few times and, naturally, Mu Sehun hated her. As
much as he didn't get along with Mu Jungkook, he still didn't want her to become his sister-in-law.

That had, however, offered her a way out. She was
already leaning toward turning it down. She only
worried about stepping on Mu Jungkook's toes and
she'd have to pay the price if he was upset. Now that Mu Sehun had brought this up, she would be able to use that as an excuse to go down that path.

She wiped her mouth with a napkin, also picked
up a win glass, and toasted Mu Sehun. "Sehun,
you are exaggerating. Truth is, I feel that I am still
young and I'm not sure that I am ready to take on
the responsibilities of being a wife and having my
own family. Besides, Jungkook and I have a good
relationship. Whether we get married or not, it's just
a matter of a piece of paper. It doesn't make a lot of
difference to us. As for marrying into a prestigious
family.... The Mu's are strong and had further
reached a new height by grandma and grandpa's
generation. There is no doubt that it is a prestigious
family. That being said, us the Xu's are well aware of where we stand. We should push this marriage on the back burner for now."

Having said that, Xu Lisa could strongly feel that
the atmosphere over the dinner table had dropped.

Let it be Mu Jiyong or Mu Jungkook they both now
have a long face on them.

Seeing that, the Old Madam quickly stood up to
ease the situation. "If you ask me, Lisa, you are
overthinking this. Money is just materialistic goods.
One isn't born with it nor can one take it away with
them. Just because the Mu's are wealthier doesn't
mean that those from the Mu's are more superior.
If you feel that the Mu's background is too much
pressure for you, you can have a prenuptial
agreement with Jungkook. Of course, if you marry into the Mu's, then Jungkook's money will be yours. The prenuptial agreement is just for your peacefulness of mind that's all."

Feeling the pressure from all directions, Xu Lisa
felt that she was cornered. She looked over to Mu Jungkook for help.

Mu Jungkook continued to look down and refuse to say a word.

Xu Lisa was displeased. With her cheeks bulged
up, she nudged him on his hand. "Well, what do you
say?"

Mu Jungkook finally put down his chopsticks, gave
Xu Lisa a look, looked up, and said to everybody
sitting around the table. "I quite like the idea of getting married. I'll talk to Lili after we get back. I will let Grandma and Aunty take care of the date and
the other details. We can have Tiana for design the
wedding gown. I'll wake Lili to try it on when
the time comes."

Xu Lisa's mouth dropped open when she heard
what he had said.

Whatever happened to the ruthless and unruly villain
in the original novel?

nevertheless, the Old Madam, Mu Dara, and the two
fathers all looked very happy. They clapped and
they toasted each other. All of them have a happy
look on them. Xu Lisa and Mu Sehun, for the first
time ever, both looked defeated.

Getting married.... how did she end up selling herself
before the 6-month contract was even up?

After dinner, the entire family sat in front of the TV
and waited for "Blossoming Us"s series finale to air.

When Xu Lisa saw Xu Jongki went over to the back
yard to smoke, she put her fruit down and followed
him out.
