Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

Chapter 117 - Going Home ("If I ever find you
visiting these kinds of places with another man, I will make sure you won't be able to get out of bed.") (3)

"So.... if you are engaged to me, your reputation and
the mu's reputation will all be affected. Perhaps
it will also affect your relationship with your
grandmother." She bit her lip and added, "And then
there's your business and Project Falcon..."

Looking at the guilt on her face, Mu Jungkook was
dazed for a split second.

Mu Jungkook was well aware of what had transpired between her and Chen Mingyu and what Xu Jongki had done - nothing was a surprise to him.

Later on, when she admitted that she was not the same Xu Lisa anymore, he had never brought it up
again.

From her words along with the meeting between
Chen Mingyu and Chen Minyoung, he had a pretty good idea what was going on this incident was about to be exposed soon. He thought she was turning him down for her own agenda. To his surprise, all of her reasons had his best interest in mind.

Mu Jungkook's lips suddenly curled upward. "Xu Lisa, so what you are saying is you are insisting
on being engaged to me."

"Huh?" Xu Lisa looked up at him.

"You had spent so much time worrying about how this would negatively impact me. Doesn't that more than suggested that you wanted o be engaged to me?" Mu Jungkook might be teasing her but his look was sincere.

"Do you know how you've blushed when I kissed you earlier. At that location, with so many people around, but you didn't try to dodge."

Xu Lisa avoided his look. She just wished there
was a hole that she could crawl into right now.

"I'll take care of Chen Mingyu for you. I have caught wind a few days ago that Qin Suho had reached out to Chen Minyoung wanting to join force with her and brought the two of us down once and for all. For a poor little kid from the country side, he kept on overestimating himself." Mu Jungkook reached out his hand and brushed aside the few stray hair over her forehead.

"You just be my fiancee and don't worry about
anything else."

"Qin Suho..." She hadn't thought about that name in a
long time. She hasn't had anything to do with him or
Liang Yeri for a long time and she had almost
forgotten about the male lead proper - It'd seem that she had underestimated the entanglement between the male lead and the villain.

That being said, the moment that Qin Suho was brought up, an idea suddenly crossed her mind. She had figured out how to resolve this issue.

She looked up and suddenly her eyes were filled
with the spirit to fight. "Mr. Mu, the main focus of
the Qin's Corporation overlaps that of JJK's
right? Retinal scan, facial recognition, and artificial
intelligence?"

Mu Jungkook nodded slightly.

"Then, I think I Have an idea." Xu Lisa relaxed.

She had an idea.

Mu Jungkook looked over at her and quickly figured out her idea.

"It's just that.." Xu Lisa bit her lip. "This is the last
resort I'm afraid this will get very ugly."

"So what, if it gets ugly?" Mu Jungkook snickered.

"It's alright. You can always come hide and sleep in my bedroom like during the thunderstorms. I'll save a nice spot for you."

Xu Lisa was a bit annoyed. "I am being serious
right now, Mr. Mu Jungkook. You shouldn't keep making fun of my weakness."

The smile on Mu Jungkook deepens. "I am being
serious as well. After Thursday, it'd be very
reasonable for you to hide in my bedroom."

Xu Lisa covered her face with her hands. "Start
driving already. There's no rain today and I want to
go home!"

Xu Lisa received the call from Lin Jennie that night.

On the call, Lin Jennie was hesitant.

Xu Lisa knew what was in Chen Minyoung's cellphone and that Lin Jennie had a difficult time bringing that up.

She said softly, "Jen-jie, I know what she has on
her phone. I've seen them myself as well. That's fine, just tell me what you were going to say."

Hearing her words, Lin Jennie let out a deep breath.

"Dear, this is going to be tricky. I had a hacker looked into Chen Minyoung's phone but it's already too late. She had already posted the pictures on a forum before she was hacked. That wasn't a good place. It was a forum where people exchange dirt. She wanted to fetch a handsome amount from the pictures."

Xu Lisa acknowledged and asked, "And then?"

"Then, she got herself a buyer almost immediately.
The two had even exchanged a call. The hacker that I hired said the buyer is Qin Suho."
