When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 37

"Lisa, only my girlfriend can control me, my apprentice can't." Right after saying this, Jungkook stared at her calmly.

Lisa looked at him too, then she answered very clearly, "I don't want to control you."

Jungkook looked at her kind, bright eyes, and felt a sulkiness rise up his chest. She had always been frank and outspoken, so in this case, she must really be totally uninterested in him.

The irritable thought gradually grew as Jungkook held his cigarette and took another puff with an emotionless look.

Unexpectedly, Lisa continued to say, "Teacher, I just care about you."

Lisa appeared serious and sincere when she said this. Perhaps she was still not too used to taking the initiative to express her kindness, because her white-skinned face was flushed red as well.

Jungkook went silent for a while, then suddenly smiled deeply.

He ashed his cigarette in the ashtray then cast a sidelong glance at her. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Lisa smiled slightly then added on, "Actually, there are a lot of ways to release stress, with smoking being the most unhealthy way. I believe you know this too. It's actually not very difficult to quit smoking"

As she spoke methodically, Jungkook listened to the soft, gentle voice droning on next to his ears and felt very comfortable. He thought to himself, 'Jungkook, oh Jungkook, she has such an innocent and unassuming mind. Why did your mood fluctuate today because of her words? You're acting like an emotional young fellow. You have to get her to follow you unknowingly, don't confuse her by making her go round in circles.'

After thinking about this, he nodded at Lisa. "What you said makes sense, but I have a huge smoking addiction, so it'll be tough for me to quit smoking by myself. Since you're an expert and you're keen on taking care of me, why don't you work with me to help me quit the habit?"

Lisa replied, "Alright. I'll search for some information when I return and study it too so we can set a plan together."

While the two of them conversed, the door was pushed open.

Old Wu was talking on the phone, he casually nodded at the two of them then sat down on a chair and continued talking.

As there were other subordinates around, Jungkook naturally restrained himself, but just as he was about to remove his arm from the back of Lisa's chair, Rosé walked in.

She had a clear view of both Jungkook's position and Lisa who was sitting beside him conscientiously and was stunned.

Jungkook kept a straight face and did not move his arm either as he vaguely glanced at Rosé. Rosé put on a smile then placed her bag down before sitting down herself.

It was then that Jungkook pulled his arm down naturally, but Rosé coincidentally looked up, and their eyes met again. Rosé only saw his usual calm and collected look, such that she felt suspicious and disappointed but could not see through him, so she just lowered her gaze again.

At that moment, Old Wu hung up his phone and looked quite excited. "Captain, there are two important new breakthroughs."

The news that Old Wu told them next was very crucial.

Firstly, Misun, the second child, had an alibi. In her statement, she mentioned that she sat in the garden downstairs alone after 11 o'clock that night. There was an old driver of the Jung Family who was nearing his fifties, and he happened to be on leave these few days. However, when the police questioned him at work today, he mentioned that he had seen Misun at night when the incident happened. The maid room that he stayed in was not far from the second couple's villa and he slept late every night, so when he heard some movement, he looked out the window to see Misun strolling about in the garden.
