Chapter 16: New product – Just one bite.
Though dissatisfied with Jungkook's attitude, Jungkook's father remained silent and gestured Bai Tzuyu towards the dining room.
The table was filled with dishes that Jungkook's parents believed were his favourite. Jungkook's mother picked up a piece of steamed cod with her chopsticks and placed it into Jungkook's bowl.
"This is your favourite dish. Today's cod is very fresh. "
Jungkook nodded silently. Father Jeon glanced over at him. "Old Xie gifted two orchestra tickets to us but your mother and I are busy and don't have time to attend. Why don't you take Tzuyu and go together this afternoon?"

ai Tzuyu paused with a bowl in her hand. She subconsciously looked over at Jungkook, who swallowed his food before replying, "I've got an appointment this afternoon. "
Jungkook's father furrowed his brows. "Who did you make an appointment with? Can't you cancel it? It's so rare for Tzuyu to visit. "
"This afternoon I need to taste test a new pastry product. If I don't go, then the chef's efforts would go to waste. "
Before Jungkook's father could say anymore, Bai Tzuyu intervened. "Uncle Jeon, I also have an appointment so I wouldn't be able to go to the orchestra anyway. "With her words, Father Jeon could only keep his mouth shut. He spent the rest of the meal in silence, while Mother Jeon tried her best to ease the atmosphere by placing food into everyone's bowls.
Bai Tzuyu stood up and bid her farewells after lunch. Jungkook's parents didn't keep her any longer but the moment she left, their expressions did not seem well.
Jungkook, lacking social cues as usual, stood up to bid his own farewell."Father, mother, I'm returning to the company first. "
Father Jeon finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "All you ever think about is going back to work. You're already of age, it's about time you thought about your own personal relationships. Do you want to be single for the rest of your life?"Jungkook turned around, looking at him apathetically as he said, "It's not as if you don't know my situation. Do you really think Bai Tzuyu could handle it?"
His parents quietened at that comment. After a moment, Jungkook's mother opened her mouth and said, "Tzuyu has a kind personality and a strong character. I believe she can accept you for who you are; she might even be able to help handle some of your work responsibilities. "
"I will consider this myself, there's no need for you to worry. "
Jungkook was about to leave when his mother scowled and hysterically shouted, "If I don't worry about you, then who do I worry about? You're my only son!"Jungkook paused for a moment, but still stepped out of the main gate.
Luo Jimin was waiting for him outside and had noticed Bai Tzuyu leaving just moments before. Jungkook stepped into the car and told the chauffeur, "back to the office. "The car slowly started. Luo Jimin looked at Jungkook in the reflection of the rearview mirror, Originally, he intended to ask about Bai Tzuyu's situation, but stayed quiet once he saw Jungkook's dark expression.
Though, since when did CEO Jeon have expressions?
His thoughts drifted to Tang Lisa, and the corner of his lips lifted subtly.
By the time Tang Lisa carried the cake over to Jeon Zhi, it was 5 minutes to three. The secretary, Sang Lan, was seated at the office when Lisa walked over and greeted her.
Seeing her, Sang Lan stood up from her seat and asked, "Miss Tang, is that the new product for CEO Jeon to taste?"
