531. The Awful Taste of Single hood

Mu Jungkook was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean how big is he?" [In Chinese the same word can be used for "big" and "old"] Li Lisa quickly replied, "... Of course, I'm referring to age!"

She had an impulsive urge to kick him, but asked again, "Is he elderly?"

The man appeared to ponder for a moment, then said unhurriedly, "I don't think so."

She nodded at his indifferent response and concluded.

"Perhaps he's ugly and therefore looks old."

Mu Jungkook was flabbergasted.

Having got her answer, Li Lisa seemed even more unhappy now and said, "I don't even know what he looks like. Imagine how these people out there are smearing me! So wrongfully accused!"

"Would you like to see him, then?" Mu Jungkook asked.

"No." Li Lisa rejected the idea and continued, "I haven't even met him and people are talking. If I meet him and someone manages to get a shot of it, they'd probably say even worse things."

"What if he's not that ugly?"

"The answer's still no." Li Lisa humph and said part sincerely, part trying to flatter, "In any case, no one beats my man."

She didn't say this loudly, and even Cheng Jisoo and Bai Jin, sitting opposite her, did not hear it.

However, her words were crisp and clear to the person on the other end of the line.

My man.

His heart started beating wildly upon hearing that term of endearment

His lips turned up in a subconscious smile. even his normally steely eyes were overtaken by an expression of tenderness.

Gu Jimin was standing nearby carrying some documents and waiting for him to finish his call so that he could give a business report

But now, seeing Mu Jungkook behaving this way was like experiencing the regretful taste of Single hood.

He became tearful and full of grief inside.

Twirling his ballpoint pen in one hand, Mu Jungkook's gaze wandered to the photograph that he had placed next to his computer.

This was a picture that he took of her when she was unaware.

Her pretty side profile was framed against the light as she looked at her cell phone.

Behind her was the rising sun, bright and impossible to ignore.

Just like her.

Mu Jungkook whispered, "What did you just say?"

Li Lisa turned scarlet at that question. She didn't think he could hear her. The pitch of her voice raised suddenly. "Oh! Nothing! I'm going to have something to eat, I'm starving! Bye!"

Then, without waiting for Mu Jungkook to reply, she hung up.

He could almost see her flushed expression as she quickly changed the topic.

He felt like taking her in his arms and giving her a long and passionate kiss.

He could feel the fire growing in him.

He had to see her.

When Gu Jimin saw that he had put away his cell phone, he quickly walked up, saying, "Boss, here are the documents from Jiang Yoongi."

"Uh huh." Mu Jungkook took the documents from him.

All traces of his earlier smile disappeared as he asked absent mindedly, "Do I have any engagements later on?"
