The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

539.They've Returned

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard again. A few members of the Ji Family rode their horses and approached in high spirits. At the front were the brothers: Eunwoo and Hyunjin. Jieun, Tzuyu, and Yeonjun were lined up behind them.

"When did you guys return?" There were too many surprises today. Lisa's face was filled with joy. "When did Eunwoo return to the country? Hyunjin, are you on vacation?"

"Sister-in-law!" The five siblings of the Jeon Family shouted in unison. "Happy 19th birthday!"

"How can we miss your most important moment?" After not seeing each other for almost half a year, the weariness on Eunwoo's face had lessened quite a bit. His eyes were filled with light. He looked at Lisa with a complicated and nostalgic gaze. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "We caught the morning flight. Thank you for becoming our sister-in-law." He curved his lips into a smile. "You have taught me many things. For example, death is too shallow. Only by living well can I feel and experience more. I hope your future will be unimpeded, smooth sailing, and you will experience the beauty of life every day."

!!
During Eunwoo's time abroad, whenever he was injured or tired during training, he would always think of the rainy night when he first met Lisa. The roar of the car engine was still ringing in his ears. Under the darkness from the wind and rain, she was elegant and beautiful, like a blazing rose blooming in the thorns; she calmly controlled the steering wheel and saved him from the brink of death. She was so crazy, so valiant, and so brilliant. She didn't hesitate to tear his gray world into pieces and assertively carved more colors into his deary world. He used to think that he was a failure and would be like this for the rest of his life until he met Lisa.

Eunwoo carefully raised the gift box in his hand and brought it to Lisa with an almost devout attitude. "Sister-in-law, happy 19th birthday."

After Eunwoo finished, it was Hyunjin's turn. Hyunjin had a crew cut, and his skin had tanned quite a bit. The contours of his once fair and arrogant face had become harder, and his gaze had become more determined. At this moment, that youth who got into so much trouble that his parents had to be called down by teachers seemed to have grown into a responsible soldier, like an eagle that was about to spread its wings. He straightened his back. The corners of his mouth were slightly bruised, and he grinned, revealing his big white teeth. "Sister-in-law, live every day to your heart's content. One day, when you walk out, you can flaunt to people and say that you are my sister-in-law and that I, Hyunjin, will take care of you!"

These words could not be more arrogant. Jungkook did not mention how hard his training was, nor did he mention how many tests he had gone through and how many urgent missions he had completed. The scars were his medals, and the once rebellious young man with dyed silver hair who fought and caused trouble had grown into a healthy little pine tree. Sooner or later, he would become an indomitable tree.

"Why would my wife need to say your name when she goes out?" Jungkook's face was slightly dark. He glared at Hyunjin and said with a fake smile, "My wife has me to protect her. You don't have to worry about it."

"I'm also willing to protect sister-in-law." Hyunjin shrank back. This was strange. He had met all types of people while training and carrying out missions. What kind of terrible things had he not experienced before? Why was it that when he saw his big brother, he still felt fear from the bottom of his heart? He didn't dare to say anything more. He handed over the rose in his hand and said devoutly and seriously, "Sister-in-law, you will always be my sister-in-law." If his big brother dared to do something that would let his sister-in-law down in the future, he... in any case, he would only acknowledge her as his sister-in-law!

"Sister-in-law, happy 19th birthday." Jieun clenched her fists; her gaze was firm as she promised, "I will definitely read more books and support you forever. I'll be a good make you proud!" She would never forget the warmth of being protected by her family; she did not want to be a fool that would only drag her family down.

"I will also work hard to practice the violin and not disappoint you." Tzuyu did not care about being shy. She raised her voice with a red face and said, "Sister-in-law, happy 19th birthday!" The boundless darkness that enveloped her world was torn apart by Lisa, and from then on, her world lit up. Now, she also hoped that she could shine like sister-in-law and make her proud.

"Sister-in-law, happy 19th birthday." Yeonjun had a head full of perms, and the diamond earrings on his earlobes sparkled; he smiled obediently and said, "I hope sister-in-law's life will always be full of light. I will definitely work hard to fill your display cabinet in the future."

"Don't even think about it!" After Yeonjun said this, the others retorted in unison.

Jieun placed her hands on her hips and said, "I should be the one filling up sister-in-law's display cabinet! Don't even think about it!"
