Chapter 48: You're Above, I'm Below

About thirty minutes later, the food was ready and they ate a late lunch together.

"I'll wash the dishes!" Lalisa offered after they had finished eating, and she stacked the dishes together and ran into the kitchen. Jungkook watched her run back and forth to get all of the dirty dishes with an amused expression before he slowly stood up and followed her into the kitchen.

Just as Lalisa was putting on the dishwashing gloves, Jungkook snatched them away from her, "Go watch the television. I can do the dishes."

Lalisa quickly grabbed onto the purple rubber gloves, "No."

Jungkook raised one eyebrow, "No?"

"You cooked all of the food, so I wash the dishes. It's fair like this." Lalisa tugged at the gloves but Jungkook didn't let go.

"Fair? Our relationship shouldn't be fair. . . You're above, I'm below."

Lalisa felt her heartbeat speed up when Jungkook said the last four words. Why did it sound so dirty in her ears?

Ah! Lalisa! You pervert!

Lalisa quickly let go of the gloves and ran away to avoid further embarrassment, "You wash then!"

Jungkook smiled amusedly as he watched Lalisa run off and sit down onto the couch. She quickly turned on the television to an extremely high volume although her mind had already wandered off.

She was laying on top of a large round bed, and the white blanket was clean and smooth below her. She looked up, and a handsome face came into view.

Jungkook. . . His dark and seductive eyes, tall nose bridge, thin lips, and sharp jawline. Lalisa tightened her legs as she stared at Jungkook.

Her cheeks heated up and she looked down, but she felt her face get even warmer from what she saw. His strong chest muscles, and a little more down, those defined and hard six-pack abs.

Lalisa unconsciously felt her gaze move even lower. . .

---

"Ah!" Lalisa widened her eyes as she shot back to reality. Jungkook quickly dropped the dishes and walked out, "What happened?"

Lalisa turned her head around and stared at Jungkook, "I. . . Nothing! Nothing!"

She switched the television station and took deep breaths. What just happened?! Lalisa, you dirty woman!

Lalisa slapped herself on the face several times and shook her head. No!

But she had to admit. . . Jungkook's body in her thoughts was very, very attractive. . .

She grinned and kicked her legs around. . . Whatever! She wasn't a good or pure woman anyway!

---

After Jungkook finished washing the dishes, he came over and watched television with Lalisa. He thought about asking her whether she liked him by now, but he stopped himself and decided to wait a little more.

A few hours had passed before Lalisa walked back home. She opened the door and walked in to see that the family of three was eating dinner already.

"Hello," Lalisa said before walking over to the stairs.

"Lalisa!" Bai Jiawei stood up from his chair and called with a stern expression, "What are you up to these days?"

Lalisa stopped and turned around, "What do you mean. . . dad?"

Looking at Bai Jiawei and talking to him made Lalisa feel disgusted, but it wasn't time to reveal herself yet. She had to stay calm and quiet.

"The past few days, where were you? Why weren't you home?"

"I was home," Lalisa replied.

"Oh really? Then why did someone tell me that you weren't home most of the time?"

Someone? Lalisa smirked and looked towards Li Huiran, who avoided her gaze and quietly ate her dinner.

"So, where were you?" Bai Jiawei asked again as his eyes narrowed.

"She was probably in some hotel room with some man -" Before Eunha could finish her sentence, a loud bang sounded at the kitchen table.

"Eunha!" Bai Jiawei screamed and turned around to look at her daughter. Li Huiran also glared at her stupid daughter and kicked her feet underneath the table to signal for her to stop talking.

Lalisa's face darkened. Was that really all Eunha had? She was probably too stupid to think up any other argument, so she was stuck on saying that Lalisa was a dirty woman that slept with several men. Even in her past life, that was also her main argument.

Lalisa didn't know if she should laugh or feel bad for Eunha. . . Being dumb was also a pitiful thing.

"Eunha, what are you talking about? Lili isn't that type of person," Li Huiran said fakely.

"You're right, Auntie Li. I'm not that type of person. Dad, I was at Rosie's house studying the script for my role of Concubine Xi in the film 'Beautiful Things Past'."

Eunha clenched her fists together when she remembered that she was also participating in that film. And she was Concubine Xi's maid. . .

"Oh, really?" Li Huiran said with a worried expression, "Lili, you shouldn't bother the Wu family like that all the time. Jiawei, let's call Rosie right now and thank her for taking care of Lili during this time."

Lalisa furrowed her eyebrows together. On the outside, it sounded like Li Huiran was caring for her and wanted to thank the Wu family for their help.

However, Li Huiran had a different purpose in saying that. Li Huiran wasn't an easy person. Of course, she didn't believe Lalisa's words. She only proposed to call Rosè to reveal Lalisa's lie. . .

"Okay," Bai Jiawei nodded his head, "Lisa, call Rosie right now."

Bai Jiawei also knew about Rosè since she had been friends with Lalisa for a long time already.

Lalisa took a deep breath and pulled out her phone. She slowly walked over to the dining room and found Rosè's number.

On speaker mode, she called her and Rosè picked up after a few beeps.

"Lili, what's up?"

Lalisa coughed and looked straight into Li Huiran's eyes, "Rosie, I was at your house the past few days, right?"

Bai Jiawei, Li Huiran, and Eunha all stared intently at the phone as they waited for a response. Li Huiran raised one eyebrow as the corner of his lips slightly curled up.

She was certain that Lalisa was lying. . .
