786. The Red Packet From Marco

Marco's smile seemed to have made Li Lisa feel rather awkward.

She quickly turned to look at Grandaunt.

However, the elderly woman looked as though she had made a new discovery, and said, "eh, I didn't think so initially, but now that I look closer, I suddenly realize that you two look alike."

When she said this, Granduncle looked at Li Lisa and then at Marco.

Feeling rather uncomfortable, Li Lisa said, "Don't all human beings have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth? Actually, they all look similar."

"No." Although Grandaunt was an old woman with failing eyesight, she had a mind of her own, especially during times like this. She looked at Marco and pointed at the two of them. "Your eyes look too similar. eh, they really look alike. Old man, don't you think so?"

Granduncle, who had always doted on his wife, agreed immediately, "Yes, it's true."

When Mu Jungkook heard this, he suddenly reached out to cover Li Lisa's face and said, "Granduncle, Grandaunt, how could you be such a tease? Foreigners don't like such jokes."

Marco immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's alright. I also feel that Lisa and I are fated...."

Then, Marco paused and said, "Otherwise, of all the places in the world, why would we run into each other here? Don't you agree?"

He was directing his question to Mu Jungkook.

Mu Jungkook smiled and said nothing.

Li Lisa did not continue the conversation.

Granduncle and Grandaunt could sense too, that Mu Jungkook was rather displeased, so they decided to change the topic and continued to tease Mu Jungkook and Li Lisa about having children of their own.

They asked questions like when they intended to have a child, to who was going to look after it, and probed further about how many children they intended to have.

Li Lisa was able to manage these questions with ease initially. However, as more people joined in the teasing, she started to feel overwhelmed.

Eventually, she found herself trying to manage these cheeky questions from seven or eight elders at once.

Even though she was not a shy person by nature, she couldn't help but end up blushing.

After observing this for a while, Marco left with Old Master Mo. Li Lisa did not notice when they left, but realized it only later, when she was able to turn her attention back from all the questions.

It had been a busy day for her, she had been on the road all day and was exhausted after the long trip.

Noticing the fatigue on her face, Mu Jungkook suggested leaving.

Back in their small house, Li Lisa finally caved.

She slumped onto the sofa and her eyes started narrowing.

Mu Jungkook took off his coat and as he was hanging it up, he inadvertently saw the red corner sticking out of Li Lisa's coat pocket.

A festive red color, it was the red packet that Marco had given her.

Mu Jungkook had registered that object in his mind when Marco took it out.

Among the stack of red packets, only Li Lisa's was prepared in a different way, making it stand out from the rest

Mu Jungkook's curiosity was piqued. He reached out and pinched the garment pocket between his fingers.

Li Lisa opened her eyes and saw Mu Jungkook holding the red packet and then opening it.
