You Are My Treasure, Husband! || BOOK 2

267.He, too, will bring his wife. (1)

When Lisa woke up the next day, the first thing that she saw was Jungkook's enlarged face in front of her eyes.

He was very close to her, almost touching her face.

He was looking at her quietly with his pitch-black eyes, and there was a hint of a smile in them.

"Good morning." Lisa stroked his handsome cheek, and looking at the pile of shiny little suns, she knew that he had kissed her when she was sleeping again.

She collected the 20 little suns inside the indicator, and with the 8 that she had left from her recent journey, she now had a total of 28 little suns. A very pathetic number.

Jungkook grabbed Lisa's hand that was stroking him and placed it over his chest. His voice was low and languid as he said slowly, "Here beat fast, Zhizhi feel."

Under her palm, Lisa could feel the throbbing of his heart.

She recalled how the young and innocent Jungkook had also pressed her hand firmly against his chest and said to him in his dull voice, "This belongs to Odd Big Sister."

Lisa felt her palm and fingertips tingle when she recalled that.

"Do you still remember what happened on the tram?" Jungkook was in his freshman year at the university back then. So many years have passed by since then. Would he still remember such a minor little detail?

Jungkook did say anything. He had his hand over Lisa's and wouldn't let her move it away from his chest. His cheek against Lisa's soft cheek, he rubbed up against hers and didn't want to move away.

Lisa heard Mother Jeon mention Mingyu over breakfast.

She perked her ears up and paid close attention.

"Didn;t you hand a project over to Mingyu a little while ago? How's that coming along?"

"He's a fast learner and so far, so good." Father Jeon had always recognized Mingyu's ability.

Mother Jeon smiled and said, "He had been in the company for a year already. It's about time to see the result. You should be able to delegate some of your workload to him."

A little over a year?

Lisa put away her surprised look.

Lisa recalled that Mingyu had joined the Jeon Corporation during his freshman year in college. He was young and competent and had made a name for himself within the company early on.

This time around Mingyu had just joined the company a year ago?

That was a pretty big time difference.

Lisa looked happy. It seemed like Father and Mother Jeon were suspicious of Mingyu about Jungkook's incident. They would not have held Mingyu back for so long otherwise.

Lisa was pleased.

Now that Mingyu was still trying to establish himself within the company, he would have to dedicate a lot of his energy on work for the time being.

Lisa ran into Rosè when she returned to school.

Rosè scooted close to Lisa and said to her in a secretive manner, "Did you see the forum, Lisa? You are famed."

She was too pretty. Playing the role as the evil stepsister during the school anniversary stunned the entire school. Many had taken photos of her and posted them onto the school forum. Even more asked for her name and contact information under her photos.

This morning, someone posted a photo of Lisa sitting with a boy in red, holding her hand. Lisa was already taken. Many young men had their hearts broken instantly.

Rosè saw the photo clearly, too. Lisa was beautiful, and the young man was handsome. The two made a cute couple. Thus, they were a subject of others' envy.

"Is that so?" Lisa wasn't too interested in that.

Despite seeing her nonchalance, Rosè couldn't help but ask, "Lisa, someone took a photo of you holding hands with a young man in a red workout outfit during the school anniversary. Many are speculating that you two are......"

Lisa nodded and admitted to it candidly. "Yes, we are a couple."

Rosè was excited. That was like having the closest of all melons. "You make such a cute couple. Congrats."

Lisa smiled and said, "Thank you."
