In front of Jungkook were many tall buildings, but he could only think about the small rented house. It was not that he had lost his familiarity with tall buildings, but the warmth of the small house made him yearn for it.

"I have completed the background check on Lisa's company. Hong Jing started four years ago. Its main business is real estate. If there are no drastic changes in the real estate prices in the coming years, the prospects are still good."

Taehyung briefly described what the company did. Hong Jing was not a big company, so Jungkook probably had no intention of investing in

Jungkook nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

"Lisa is at work today. Get your men to pay attention to her. Don't let those bugs trip her up in the dark."

Hearing Jungkook's words, Taehyung clicked his tongue and agreed.

"Jeon Jungkook, how much longer are you going to hide? It's time for you to come back!" Jungkook did not answer. He put down his wine glass and glanced at Taehyung indifferently before preparing to leave.

Seeing that Jungkook was about to leave, Taehyung got up to send him back, but was rejected by Jungkook. Considering Taehyung 's flamboyant personality, who knew what kind of attention-grabbing car he would drive.

When Jungkook arrived home, it was just past 5:00. Lisa would probably be back in a while later..

Looking around, Jungkook locked his gaze on Lisa's tightly shut door.

Ever since they moved in here, Lisa would always leave the door open during the day. She said that it was so that the air could circulate. He wondered why she decided to close the door today.

Jungkook hesitantly held the doorknob. Unexpectedly, the door wasn't locked.

What met Jungkook eyes made him freeze on the spot. Lisa had always kept the house neat and tidy. But today, her room was extremely messy. Jungkook understood the reason. As she was drunk from last night, she woke up late today.

From the clothes piled by the cabinet, it was obvious that she was in a hurry. However, she still made breakfast and left after eating with him.

She was trying her best to maintain this marriage that was full of lies and deceit, Jungkook thought.

If it were not for them both substituting people in this marriage, the two of them would probably never have crossed paths. Thinking of the person who was originally going to marry Lisa and was called 'Luo Jungkook', an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in Jungkook's heart.

With a complicated expression, he picked up the clothes on the ground. Suddenly, he saw two pieces of black underwear.

Jungkook's breathing stopped. Everything that happened that night when the two of them met for the first time instantly popped into his mind. The girl's curvaceous figure and the faint fragrance lingering around her neck were still fresh in his memory.

Closing his eyes, Jungkook took a deep breath and took a few steps forward to pick up her underwear. After picking up the clothes, he quickly walked towards the washing machine and placed the clothes into the dirty laundry basket beside him.

After he was done, Jungkook exhaled. It was not that he had never seen such items before. Instead, because he grew up in such a high-profile family, he was familiar with these things. However, right now he felt like a teenager with raging hormones.

When he thought of last night, his heart started beating irregularly.

He recalled that last night, when the girl leaned her head on his shoulder, her hair was full of the fragrance of flowers. He knew that this was the smell of her shampoo.

She was very quiet when she was drunk, unlike some people who would make a scene. She was like a tiny sleeping kitten. Even when he carried her out of the car, she did not wake up. She only mumbled a few times and wrapped her arms around his neck.

At that time, he realized that she was not guarded against others when she was drunk. He had wanted to remind her to not get drunk outside again, however, he forgot to remind her in the morning.

Jungkook did not know how he felt about Lisa, but he had a hunch that he would not want to know the answer.

Sitting on the sofa, Jungkook let out a long sigh. His gaze continued to drift to Lisa's room door.

After hesitating for a long while, Jungkook pushed open Lisa's door again. There was something that caught his attention just now.

It was a notebook placed on the desk. It looked very exquisite, as if it was used by a girl as her diary.

Jungkook stood by the desk and hesitated. He had been taught since he was young that reading other people's notes was not something he should do, but his curiosity towards Lisa made him unable to control his actions.

He wanted to know Lisa's opinion of him and her own thoughts about him.

He had married her because he had no other choice at the time. One day he would leave.

But what about her? Was she also extremely reluctant to marry him? Was she just resigned to her fate?

All kinds of questions lingered in his mind. Finally, Jungkook opened the notebook.
