Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

Chapter 106 - Don't Let Me Down ("I can promise
you that we will just have the ceremony for now and take care of the paperwork later.") (1)

Hearing the question from Mu Jungkook, Xu Lisa
could smell danger coming her way immediately.

Be genuine. Be genuine! She told herself twice before she let out a long sigh and replied cautiously, "The Mu's.... I doubt you will believe me even if I say I like the Mu's. Truth is, I doubt I will ever grow to like Mr. Mu Jiyong, Madam Wang Lia, and their precious son Mu Sehun. As for Grandma and Second Aunty, they are very sweet and I will be delighted to become a part of their family."

Mu Jungkook threw out two questions and the only one he cared about was the latter one. Quite the contrary, Xu Lisa went on and on but totally avoiding the main point.

Mu Jungkook remained silent in a dissatisfied way.

He still wasn't planning on letting her go.

Xu Lisa knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid
so she added, "I believe majority of the reason you
accepted the marriage proposal was to make a point. You didn't marry Liang Yeri, that disappointed Mu Jiyong. You wanted to give him another blow through our marriage. But marriage is such a lovely thing. We shouldn't do that just to make a point. We have only been in this contract for two months and Mr. Mu barely knows anything about me. Would you have slowly getting to know me over time, fall in love, and proposed to me, had it not been our fathers plotting against us? I think not."

Hearing that, a cold look appeared on Mu Jungkook:
How was she so sure about that?

Would he not know whether he was just trying to
make a point?

He further knew that even given enough time, she still didn't want to fall in love and get married' with him.

She has been demonstrating strong work ethics and
been bringing up the 50 million yuan and 6 months
time daily. She could write it on his forehead and
remind him that was their relationship every single
minute if only she could.

Whether it was something that she was curious or not, she would never ask about it. At this rate, never mind 6 months, it could be 6 years or 60 years, she would learn more about him. There was no doubt in his mind that she'd clap her hands and walk away when the contract was up.

Furthermore, his hands were covered in blood since
he was a child. To her he was mean and he didn't
understand her. So how could he possibly demand
something such as love and marriage as though they
were in a normal relationship?

As such, he might as well use this opportunity and just force her into a marriage with him.

Mu Jungkook's smile deepened. "You are right. It
has only been 2 months. How much do you know
about me? So much that when you heard the word
'marriage', you wanted to avoid it like a plague."

How could she possibly say that he wouldn't if she
didn't know him at all?

And what made her say that he was just trying to
make a point?

Facing his questioning, she fell silent.

There were certainly holes in what she had said. In
fact, there were holes in understanding as well. She
bragged that she had read the original novel and
understood what kind of a person Mu Jungkook was inside and out.

In fact, from the very beginning, she had labelled him as a cold-blooded, ruthless, tyrannical, and violent villain.

But, did she really know him?

After spending so much time with him, he might be
domineering, but he has always been nice to her. He
always made sure that there were coconuts in the
car for her. The air-conditioning in the house was
always set at the lowest setting because she got hot
easily.

He even... kissed her.

Suddenly, she shuddered. She looked over at him -
was he upset because she turned down the marriage proposal? For no other reason then he has feelings for her?

He wasn't just messing around when he kissed her
the other day?

Complicated emotions radiated out from her
almond-shaped eyes and turned into sparkles of light.
