Avoiding The Male Lead-1

36

Originally, Xin Lisa wasn’t planning on showing her face to the birthday banquet, since she didn’t know anyone attending.

Xin Lisa grabbed Xin Ten’s arm and held onto her dress, making small, careful steps on her seven-centimeter high-heels. Perhaps because it was the first time, she had paid attention to her attire, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Xin Lisa lowered her head to focus on her footsteps, but didn’t forget to complain to Xin Ten, “I already said that I didn’t want to come. You forced me to attend! Plus, I already made an appointment tonight to continue to learn how to dance with the teacher.”

Ever since Xin Lisa forfeited the competition, she understood: If she wanted to mingle, she needed a special ability she could demonstrate. The host normally wanted someone who had a lot of talent and abilities. They should be able to recite, dance, sing, or play an instrument… As long as you have an extra ability, others will think more highly of you.

When the time came, Xin Lisa did not want to do something last minute, so she immediately found a dance teacher and a piano teacher. Every night, she alternated what she learned.

In Xin Lisa’s view, spending time on self-improvement was a much better choice in comparison to attending a banquet filled with people that she did not know.

However, Xin Ten didn’t think so. Although he later asked what happened with her and Jeon Jungkook’s mother, she had only carelessly replied that on the day she returned to the apartment, they had accidentally encountered one another. They hadn’t spoken much before she had realized the strange situation and smartly left.

After she had finished speaking, Xin Ten was silent for a moment. On the surface, the encounter sounded perfectly normal; yet, listening to Xin Lisa’s tone, it seemed like it wasn’t that simple.

Xin Ten, in order to remove the possibility of future trouble, thought that it was still better to let Xin Lisa come out and interact with people, thereby getting to know better-quality men. That way, she can more easily break off her foolish thoughts about Jeon Jungkook.

Xin Lisa did not know that Xin Ten  still entertained such thoughts, she really would’ve wanted to stab his head and say: “Do I look like that kind of leisurely person?!”

Xin Ten was very diligent in his duties, taking Xin Lisa to congratulate the 70-year-old birthday host. He brought her away from the crowd and introduced her to each personーmaking a point of giving Xin Lisa space whenever he introduced her to handsome young men, whom he had selected very carefully, of course.

No matter how stupid Xin Lisa was, she understood that this was basically a blind date banquet that Xin Ten had arranged.

“Shoot!”

The young man with Xin Lisa at the moment, who just would not stop rambling about his career history, couldn’t help but ask after suddenly hearing her say something under her breath, “Miss Xin, what did you just say?”

Xin Lisa forced a rigid smile on her face.

“Sorry, I’m a bit tired and would like to rest over there.”

“Then let me accompany you.”

“Thank you, but there’s no need,” Xin Lisa smiled as she politely rejected him.

When Jeon Jungkook arrived in the front hall, he was witness to this scene.

Xin Lisa wore a revealing long dress, which opened just below her shoulders and teased the passersby to imagine the rest of her delicate frame. She was smilingーtalking to a man who was barely a step away from her. Jeon Jungkook couldn’t hear the man’s response, but Xin Lisa smiled even brighter, waving her hands at him. She carried her dress and walked over to the corner, where the resting area was
