"Dad hasn't thought about this problem before", said Song Jungkook.
With a wave of his hand, Little Woo ang replied, "Then think about it now".
Song Jungkook sighed. He thought about what he would say on a first date - perhaps something flirtatious to tease the other person? However, in this situation, he wasn't sure if those words would be inappropriate or too frivolous. Nevertheless, he could tell that Ruan Lisa liked it when Little Woo complimented her beauty.
Song Jungkook replied, "Then I'll think about it carefully", as he took out his phone and searched on the internet for "Is it appropriate to praise a date for her beauty?".
He was afraid of walking into a minefield, so he didn't want to reply too quickly. It wasn't until he had received confirmation that he replied to Little Woo, "Out of all of the women I've met, your mother is the most beautiful."
When Little Woo heard, he reacted as if he found a comrade-in-arms. "Of course! I've already said that I'm not a liar. Everything I've said is true. The most beautiful woman in the world is my mother!"
As the recipient of the praise from both father and son, Ruan Lisa coughed softly and humbly said, "It's nothing like that".
The praise from Little Woo wasn't unexpected. After all, in a child's eyes, his mother is always the most beautiful woman in the world. However, when Ruan Lisa heard Song Jungkook say those words so seriously, she found it hard to keep from smiling.
As the flattery continued and the words became more flowery, Ruan Lisa began to feel a bit uneasy. She wondered if the near-perfect woman they were describing was truly her and couldn't help but feel they were actually praising someone else.

After Song Jungkook finished his work he went downstairs for a drink of water. He knew that Ruan Lisa had the habit of drinking milk at night, but he wasn't sure if he should take the initiative to bring her a cup of milk. Song Jungkook did not have any experience wooing women. In fact, the only time in his life he had persuaded a woman was when he made an agreement with Ruan Lisa for her to be a good mother.
However, Song Jungkook was an intelligent person. Provided he was willing, he's also capable of making emotionally astute decisions. Song Jungkook found Ruan Lisa's usual milk powder from the cupboard, heated the water, and prepared a cup of warm milk for her.
Ruan Lisa had just coaxed Little Woo to sleep. She had gradually formed a habit of drinking milk at night and planned to go downstairs for a cup of milk after she finished browsing Weibo. At that moment, she heard a knock on the door. By now, Housekeeper Auntie should already be asleep, so the person knocking could only be Song Jungkook, but what does he want so late?
Ruan Lisa stood up, picked up the dressing gown from the sofa, and put it on. For an unknown reason, when she passed by the dresser, she paused and looked at her reflection for a few seconds. When she opened the door, it turns out it really was Song Jungkook. The familiar pair of gold-rimmed glasses and the simple casual clothing granted him an entirely different aura from the day when he was impeccably clad in his business dress. If she hadn't transmigrated into the novel world, Ruan Lisa would have had a hard time believing she could have this kind of man in her life.
Song Jungkook handed her the cup of warm milk and said, "I went downstairs for a drink. Since I was already down there, I made a cup of milk. Now you won't have to go downstairs later." Ruan Lisa took the cup blankly. As she stood there, in the perfect temperature-controlled room, holding the cup of milk, she felt a warmth pass into her body.
"... Thanks."
