Master's New Bride | LK Adaptation

Chapter 9

Downstairs, lunch had already been served courtesy of Su Hongyuan's earlier instructions, and it was a feast.

Lu Jungkook led Su Lisa into the dining area. "Sit," Lu Jungkook said, pulling a chair out for her as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Huh? Is Lu Jungkook serving her now? Su Lisa thought.

In an instant, Su Lisa felt as if she had been granted a gratuitous service and decided to go along with it. Turning to Lu Jungkook she plastered on a sweet smile, "Thank you, honey," she said, sitting down.

Su Lisa took in the dishes that were laid out on the table. Deftly, she picked up a bowl and began filling it with duck soup. Once the bowl was filled, she placed it right in front of Lu Jungkook.

She smiled in a way that made her look like a subservient maidservant. "Drink the soup first," she said, "duck soup is very palatable. Try it."

The truth was that there was nothing Lu Jungkook hated more than duck soup. He forced a smile and then reached out to ruffle Su Lisa's hair.

"Thank you," he said.

On the outside, his ministrations seemed every bit affectionate. But in truth, there were quite some force behind those hands.

"Oh, you're welcome," Su Lisa said.

"I'm good as long as you like it."

Su Lisa knew this was Lu Jungkook's idea of a revenge. In fact, she figured that her hair was messier than a bird's nest at this point courtesy of Lu Jungkook's 'affectionate' gesture. Still, she beamed as if she was the happiest woman in the entire world, bird's nest hair and all.

Lu Jungkook found himself highly satisfied with the way Su Lisa had handled her misfortunes with compliance and tolerance. Although he had no idea how long this little monster would stay this compliant, he decided to give face and finished the bowl of soup she had served him.

Upon seeing Lu Jungkook's now empty bowl, Su Yuanyuan picked up the bowl in a show of attentiveness and courtesy.

"Brother, let me fill up another bowl for you," she said, "our chef makes the best soups. You should have more."

"No, thank you," Lu Jungkook said, "I don't actually enjoy duck soup."

Su Yuanyuan's movement stilled. An uncomfortable look crossed her face.

"But when sis gave you that bowl just now..." she trailed off.

She thought Lu Jungkook really enjoyed duck soup.

Lu Jungkook glanced at Su Lisa, his eyes filled with nothing but love and affection. "Since my wife had served it to me, I must drink it." Lu Jungkook said.

But if it's served by others....then thanks, but nope, Lu Jungkook thought.

Su Lisa beamed sweetly seeming as though she would to lean in to kiss Lu Jungkook any minute.

Su Yuanyuan felt even more awkward than before. But at the same time, she also felt a little offended. Sullenly, she placed the bowl before of Lu Jungkook.

Having decided that she might as well go the whole way with things, she pointed at a crawfish, "Honey, I wanna eat that one."

Lu Jungkook was highly dubious about Su Lisa's fondness for crawfish, though he put on a pair of gloves and grabbed one from the platter.

He even went as far as meticulously removing the edible meat from the shell before placing them neatly onto her plate. "Eat slowly," he reminded in a 'gentle' tone.
