Lisa....We Switched Lives! | Book 2

349.Or Was He Forced To Leave Early?

Lalisa was surprised when he suddenly turned to her and looked at her through the mirror. She bit her lower lip when their eyes met through the mirror.

She smiled awkwardly and stood up to go to bed. She took small hesitant steps towards the bed.

Jeongguk placed his documents at the table beside the bed and saw her coming to the bed nervously. He raised his brows when he saw her coming towards him nervously.

Lalisa took a deep breath as she saw him shifting to the other side as he made a room for her on the bed.

She stiffly sat on the bed and hurriedly laid down and covered herself with the blanket.

Jeongguk: " -_- "

Jeongguk was speechless when he saw her hurriedly getting into the blanket and covering herself. He didn't expect that she would rush to get under the blanket.

He chuckled as he laid beside her and stared at her half head which was coming out from the blanket.

His gaze was tender as he kept staring at her back. He fell asleep while staring at her from the back.

...

The next day.

In the morning when Lalisa opened her eyes hazily, she found out that the side on the bed was empty. She frowned when she didn't find him.

She hurriedly sat up and felt worried that she slept for long. There are no clocks or phones in this world so it's hard for her to assume the time.

When she sat up hazily, Minnie came in and when she saw Lalisa sitting on the bed, she smiled and said cheerily, " Miss, you woke up?"

Lalisa's lips curled upwards as she replied, " No, I am still sleeping."

Minnie: " - _- "

Minnie pursed her lips when she saw Lalisa joking around in the early morning. She took a deep breath and said, " Miss, his highness got up early and went to his chamber for some work. He has asked you to get ready when you wake up." She politely conveyed the message to him.

Lalisa nodded in understanding and got up to get ready.

....

When Lalisa got ready, she stood in front of the mirror and nodded her head. She is looking beautiful as usual. magic

She didn't wear a heavy and luxurious gown, instead, she wore a simple dress that will serve the purpose.

She isn't going for any banquet or something, she was just going out to look around and she does not want to wear those dresses adorned with expensive beads and embroidery.

Minnie who brought her breakfast was surprised when she saw Lalisa a purple and white-colored contrasted plain dress. She frowned and asked, " Miss, Why are you wearing this dress? I chose another dress for you. It's very plain and does not look up to your status."

Lalisa who was combing her hair looked at her and mocked, " Minnie, Oh my Minnie. What will I do about you? Didn't I tell you that every dress looks good when it is worn at the right time. If you wear a bikini at a party and a gown at the beach, then what do you think will happen?"

Minnie blinks her eyes as she was unable to understand Lalisa's strange words.

Lalisa smiled and said, " You're bound to make a fool of yourself. So the moral of the story is that the dress you chose for me which was adored with those expensive threads and beads, was not suitable for this visit."

She hit Minnie's head with her palm jokingly. Minnie stared at her as she blinks her eyes innocently.

" But Miss, isn't this dress too plain? Consort Eunbi will pick on you because of this. And what if his highness got angry because you didn't get ready properly?" Minnie was worried because she does not want her to make a fool of herself just because of her simple clothes.

Lalisa glanced at her and said, " Do you think that Eunbi can pick on me anymore?Hmm?" she raised her brows as she looked at Minnie playfully.

Minnie looked at her and remembered how last night Lalisa shut Eunbi up. She was worried at first when she saw Eunbi saying inappropriate things about Master Wen and Lalisa.

She was worried that his highness would get angry but to her surprise, not only Lalisa managed to shut Eunbi up, His highness also supported Lalisa in front of her.

He also spent a night at Lotus pavilion and asked her to send breakfast when she woke up and got ready. She could see how well he was treating Lalisa.

She did not say anything and placed the breakfast on the table.

After having breakfast Lalisa walked out with Minnie as Jeongguk was waiting for her at the main gate of the palace.

When she reached there she saw him standing with his back on her. He was also wearing a simple blue-colored robe, unlike his normal heavy robes.

She smiled as she was glad that she made the right choice by wearing this dress.

She walked up to him and stood behind him and called out, " Greetings to his highness."

Jeongguk was standing there with his hands on his back and was looking at the carriage in front of him which was prepared for them to go for the trip.

He turned around and smiled elegantly seeing her standing there looking at him. He looked at her and smiled seeing her that she was wearing a low-key dress.

Generally, whenever Eunbi went out with Empress Dowager, she used to dress up lavishly and tend to show off her dress and jewelry.

Even though Sandara and Eunbi are nobility but they never understand that it's okay to dress up like this at the Banquets and meetings but when they're going out to meet other people, it's not very courteous to do that.

It's not comfortable for traveling and it will make them more unapproachable and they won't be able to talk to others properly.

He doesn't like to dress up so much when going out and he was pleased to see her wearing simple clothes.

He didn't tell her anything but she still did so and this shows that she is considerate towards others and knows when to dress up and when not.

He nodded at her in response to her greeting and asked, " You had breakfast?"

Lalisa nodded and said, " Yes. I enjoyed the food that you sent." she said with a pleasing smile on her lips.

Minnie has told her earlier that it was Jeongguk who sent this breakfast for her. The dishes were on par with her taste and she happily ate them.

Jeongguk was pleased when he saw her response. " You're ready to leave?"

Lalisa nodded cheerily as she was happy that they are finally going out. She looked around and asked, " But where is Brother Wen? Is he running late?" she asked curiously.

Jeongguk frowned when he heard her asking about Mingyu. He coughed lightly and said, " He left early to prepare for our visit. Now only were left behind. We should leave early as well so that he doesn't need to wait for long." he said as he said with a blank face.

Minho who was checking the carriage in which they were supposed to go was speechless when he heard his words.

' He left early to prepare for the visit? Or was he forced to leave early?'
