Lalisa chuckled and said, “I’m making a very reasonable guess.” Suddenly, she stopped and exclaimed, “Oh, I left my hat and mask outside!”

Jungkook frowned and looked down at the pretty girl, asking, “Why do you need them?”

Was it shameful to go out with him?

Jungkook frowned again at the thought. He stopped and looked at her seriously. “Are you ashamed of being together with me?”

Lalisa pursed her lips as she returned Jungkook’s gaze and with a shake of her head, replied, “Of course not. How could I feel that way?” But then she hesitated and glanced at Jungkook before continuing, “Well, I don’t know… I don’t know what happened to my face. It’ll change from time to time, so I don’t dare to show up in public carelessly now.”

Seeing Jungkook still scowling at her, Lalisa suddenly thought of something and stared at Jungkook as she cried out, “Don’t you tell me you didn’t notice any change in me!!!!!”

If he really hadn’t noticed, she would be very angry! Very, very angry!

Jungkook recalled how she had looked the first time he saw her, and then the second time. Although only a month had passed, she had become more beautiful than when he had seen her at her school. He rubbed her hair and replied, “I can’t see any difference. No matter how much you change, you’ll always be my Lali.”

Lalisa wanted to be angry, but all of her anger disappeared automatically when she heard his words. She held his arm affectionately and whispered, “But others don’t think this way. Please.”

Jungkook would surely agree to any of her requests. He nodded and asked her to wait for a while in the office while he went find a hat and mask for her. Then he opened the door only to see Taehyung standing there holding the mask and hat. Taehyung raised his eyebrows and asked him, “My sister has left?”

Jungkook felt a bit uncomfortable upon hearing him call Lalisa sister. After he married Lali, would he have to call this guy his elder brother?

Jungkook’s brain began to search for information on the Jeon Family to see if he had a younger cousin sister. If he introduced a younger cousin sister to Taehyung, then the latter would have to call him elder brother… However, when he found that he only had two cousin brothers, he felt greatly disappointed.

“No. Are the hat and mask hers?” Jungkook decided not to think of this annoying matter. Even if Lali was their sister right now, she would be his wife after marrying him, and then he would be able to refuse to call Taehyung “Elder Brother”.

Taehyung nodded and was about to enter the office of Jungkook with the hat and mask when Jungkook grabbed him, took the items out of his hands and said indifferently, “Go to work. Give me those files early tomorrow morning.”

“Jeon Jungkook!!” Taehyung exclaimed, staring at him. “How can you burn the bridge after crossing it!”

“You’re just a plank on the bridge at most,” Jungkook said with a sneer, then entered his office and closed the door.

Taehyung stared wide-eyed and swung his fist several times at the door of Jungkook’s office before he turned away cursing.

Jungkook put the hat on Lalisa’s head and went out satisfied together. They walked past the secretariat while holding hands—all the secretaries looked at the two of them and their eyes lit up with the gleam of gossip. Unable to stand their stares, Lalisa tried to take back her hand, only to be held onto more tightly by Jungkook. Lalisa whispered with slight annoyance, “What are you doing? So many people are looking at us!”
