Chapter 121 - Lots of Twists in the Plots (1)

Both Mu Jiyong and Xu Jongki attended Xu Lisa and
Mu Jungkook's engagement ceremony. Xu Jongki, sitting at the very front, gave Xu Lisa a complacent look.

Xu Lisa understood that Xu Jongki was still dreaming about receiving a large sum of money from Mu Jiyong after they had destroyed Mu Jungkook. She returned Xu Jongki with a smile and thought that once she had Chen Minyoung and Qin Suho taken care of, Xu Jongki would be her next target.

The second part of the engagement ceremony was
the exchange of blessings from the parents of
both parties. Old Madam mu was the first to go up
on the stage. She had represented the mu's in the
business realm for most of her life and her words
were sonorous and powerful. Standing in her gown,
Xu Lisa smiled sweetly as she waited for her
pictures to be taken. At the same time, she thought to
herself that the Old Madam and Aunt Mu Dara were
probably the only two persons there who truly
wanted to see them married, and that was including
herself and Mu Jungkook.

The media didn't seem to care too much about what
the old madam have to say. All of the reporters
there were snapping pictures madly as though they
wanted to document every single fancy details of this engagement ceremony, let it be a piece of candy or a drop of wine. They were probably planning on
researching on the brands of each item afterward
so they could readily create a click bait article online.

Standing in a hiding corner, Xu Lisa looked at all
different sorts of people underneath and couldn't
help but chuckled. "Look at the reporters taking
pictures and taking notes. I have the title written up
for them already - Priceless red wine that cost $30
million a drop? engagement ceremony between Xu Lisa and Mu Jungkook in details."

Mu Jungkook lowered his head and looked at her.

There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Xu Lisa, are you really that carefree or just
heartless? Today is the engagement ceremony, your
own one. It's not the opening or wrapping of your
filming. Why is it that all you can think about is the
entertainment circle?"

Noticing that he was displeased and that she had
misspoke, Xu Lisa asked him softly, "Are you
mad?"

Mu Jungkook did not respond to her but stood up
straight and ignored her.

"Oh, c'mon. I was wrong." Xu Lisa squinted and
boldly reached out to his lower arm and shook it backband forth slightly. "I'm sorry, fiance~~"

She dragged out on the "fiancee" part purposefully.

Her voice was sweet, pretty, soft, and sticky, sounding very coquettish.

Mu Jungkook couldn't resist that His heart crumpled
under her voice. He forced himself to curve his lips
slightly, showing that he was no longer mad at her.

Xu Lisa smiled complacently and let go of his
arm. After a little while, she said in a serious tone,
"It wasn't that I was thinking about the entertainment
circle. It's just that people like us, we appear
glamourous to others as though we are standing at
the apex of the pyramid. But the more glamourous
we look, the better our lives are, the more others
wanted to see some sort of misfortunes happen to
us. Preferably if we'd fall straight from heaven to
the deepest of hell. Take today for example. Why is it that Chen Minyoung hasn't done anything with the pictures that she had gotten her hands on? She was waiting for today. As luxurious as this engagement ceremony seems, there were surging storms and murderous intent hidden behind everything - under each crystal on the chandelier and every petals of the blooming flowers."

Xu Lisa had always been an optimistic one and
would rarely lament like she did today. Looking at her long lashes that was vibrating slightly, Mu Jungkook also had felt an odd sensation.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Don't worry. I am
taller than you. Should the sky come crashing down,
I'll be there to prop it up first."

By now, the blessings from the old madam and both
fathers were over. The host said a few words and
invited the couple to the center of the dance floor.

Xu Lisa had a bouquet of flowers in one hand
and the other one around Mu Jungkook's arm. With
her sparkling sliver wedding shoes on her, she was
just about to take a step forward when she felt a tug from Mu Jungkook.

Then she heard his voice coming from above her
head. "Be careful what you say out there."
