Carrying The Villain's Baby

"Atone?" Ye Lisa understood exactly what was going on after hearing those words and seeing the Ye parents' strange behavior from earlier.

"Older sister knows that I should have been the one to marry Jeon Jungkook. Don't blame mom. At that time, dad and mom didn't have any other choices. Without the Jeon family's assistance, dad's company would have gone bankrupt. Dad and mom only married you into the Jeon family because they were forced to by circumstances." Ye Ji Eun tightly held Ye Lisa's hand and unwaveringly stared at her. "Lili, you have to believe me. If there had been any other possible solution at all, they wouldn’t have married you to Jeon Jungkook."

"So..."

"So, I came back to take up my responsibility that I should bear. I'll switch with you and go back to the Jeon Family. Everything will return to the original track, and you'll be free to do whatever you want."

(T/N:Fuck. I really want to slap her)

Ye Lisa felt incredulous.

She didn't mishear, right?

Ye Ji Eun had just said to her face that she wanted to take back her identity and her spot by Jungkook's side?

Was this supposed to be a hidden plotline in the novel?

Ye Lisa thought it over; there didn't seem to be such a plotline in the novel. From beginning to end, Ye Ji Eun had always been thoroughly hostile to Jungkook. The novel's Ye Ji Eun was very blunt about how much she loathed Jungkook. There wasn't even an iota of chance that her feelings for him had been fake.

"You want to... go be by Jeon Jungkook's side? Become Mrs. Jeon?"

It took a moment for Ye Ji Eun to respond. Hearing Ye Lisa's hestaint words, Ye Ji Eun felt a bit uneasy.

No matter how you looked at it, many women would want Jungkook as their husband. He was capable and good at scheming. In addition, the Jeon family had been an influential family for generations without fail. Even though it was rumored that Jungkook's father had countless illegitimate children and mistresses, he never dared to bring any of them home.

In the past, Jungkook had been a coma, and no one was sure if he would wake up. When Ye Lisa married him, anyone would have guessed that her future was bleak.

But now, Jungkook had woken up. Why would Ye Zhen easily give up her identity as Mrs. Jeon?

"Lili, don't misunderstand. I just don't want to wrong you."

Ye Lisa furrowed her brow and stayed silent.

Next to them, Mother Ye had become anxious. "Lisa, we're doing this for your own good. There's no way you can hide the truth that you married Jeon Jungkook using your sister's identity forever. What kind of person is Jeon Jungkook? Do you think he'll take things lying down once he finds out the truth? We're thinking for your benefit too. If you had half of your sister's cleverness, then it would be fine for you to remain Mrs. Jeon. But, think about it. You've married into that family for so long, and you still haven't gotten Jeon Jungkook's mother to like you. It's even less likely that you'll win over Jeon Jungkook. Mom is someone with a rich life experience. Listen to mom's advice. Just because you covet a rich life, it doesn't mean you'll be able to have one!"

"No, that's not what I'm thinking. I just... This surprise is too sudden." Ye Lisa, who had returned to her senses, quickly added, "What I mean is, older sister, you came back too suddenly. I was caught off guard. But, don't worry. On paper, Jeon Jungkook married Ye Ji Eun, so of course the identity of Mrs. Jeon goes to Ye Ji Eun and not me. I'm definitely happy that older sister has thought things through and is willing to marry Jeon Jungkook."

Seeing that Ye Lisa was being so "sensible", Ye Ji Eun and the Ye parents were truly very relieved.

They had originally decided that if soft tactics didn't work, they would use hard ones. If they used both carrot and stick, Ye Lisa, who didn't know anything, would definitely end up obediently being ordered about by them.

"Okay then. Tell me everything that Jeon Jungkook said and did after he woke up... Also, tell me about his daily routines in detail... It's not easy for you to come back here, so I'll switch with you now and go back to the Lu Family. No one will know.

Their faces were identical. If they both wore the same clothes, how could anyone tell them apart?

........

Can I slap her and her parents?
