Chapter 17

He spoke in a casual tone as if he had just casually helped her with a small favor.

However, Lisa understood that in just one night, he had managed to contact her father and the official Weibo account, obtain verification, write a statement, and clarify the situation. This efficiency was comparable to that of a top-notch PR team.

No wonder he had been making phone calls all night.

She had actually misunderstood him as indifferent and unconcerned about her well-being, which had caused her to sulk for a long time.

Immature.

Ridiculous.

Brainless!

It would be false to say that she wasn't moved. Lisa wasn't good at expressing gratitude, but as a person, she couldn't be impolite. When someone helped you, you had to say thank you, otherwise, people would think she was ungrateful.

After contemplating for a while, with furrowed brows and a wrinkled nose, she finally uttered two words from her mouth: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Just these simple words, when spoken by them, felt a bit unfamiliar and awkward.

There was nothing more to say.

She had planned to get up and voice her complaints, but now that the matter was resolved, there was no need to say anything.

Sunlight streamed in through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite. After several days of continuous rain in the Star City, the sun finally decided to shine, casting a gentle warmth in people's hearts.

Jungkook looked at her with a calm and serene gaze. His pupils were reflected amber by the sunlight, like a pool of lake water.

Sitting up straight, he rubbed his knees up and down with his hands. Because she didn't sleep well last night, her complexion was a bit pale. Her messy hair framed a face that was only the size of a palm. Her features were soft and beautiful, lacking the embellishment of makeup. She looked soft and beautiful, with a hint of vulnerability that she usually didn't show on camera.

"So, um, what do you want as a return gift?" After racking her brains, Lisa finally came up with a topic and patted her chest. "Just say it, I have money."

Jungkook also replied, "I don't lack money."

Alright, alright, they both weren't short of money.

"So, what do you want then?"

Lisa thought he wouldn't stoop so low as to ask for a kiss like those cheap rogues who take advantage of girls. But Jungkook really didn't follow the usual route and said in a very old-fashioned manner, "Then give me a kiss."

"..." What era was this tactic used to tease girls?

Although Lisa had some complaints in her heart, she knew she had to fulfill the request of her benefactor. She coughed, shifted her position, and moved closer to him, tilting her neck, intending to give him a peck on the cheek.

Jungkook turned his head sideways, lowered his gaze to look at her, and sounded somewhat surprised, "Hmm? Why aren't you refusing?"

Lisa immediately bit her lip and stuttered, "It's a thank-you gift for you, why would I refuse?"

"I thought you would react as usual," Suddenly imitating her usual expression, Jungkook pursed his lips and said, "Tsk, you wish."

Then, amused by his own imitation, he blinked at her and pretended to be puzzled, "Why are you so obedient today?"
