The person in charge of the Jun family seemed to have boundless glory and power, but standing at such a high position, he definitely had to endure endless pressure.

If the one in power made even the slightest mistake, it would have an irreversible impact on such a large corporation.

After quickly reviewing three proposals that were close to 50 pages, Jungkook stood up and looked at the stars outside the window.

Lisa walked to the door and knocked when she saw light coming from the study.

"Come in." Jungkook continued looking out of the window and did not turn back.

Lisa opened the door. "Will you be done soon? Haru is waiting for you to sleep."

He thought that it was Uncle Wang, but a clear female voice came from the door.

Jungkook turned around and saw Lisa who was dressed in a flowery nightgown, standing at the door. She was not wearing any makeup, but it made her look even more beautiful. She was like a pure lotus, calming one's chaotic emotions.

"I'll finish up now."

Lisa covered herself with her jacket and walked towards the bedroom while Jungkook followed closely behind.

In the bedroom, Haru was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open. When he saw Lisa and Jungkook enter, he smiled.

"Go to sleep."

Lisa got onto the bed and pulled Haru into her arms. Similar to the previous time, Jungkook went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas and laid on the other side of the bed.

Feeling the presence of his father and mother around him, Haru fell into a deep sleep within half a minute.

Lisa lowered her head to look at Haru, who had his eyes closed and long eyelashes shut. When she looked up, she met Jungkook's gaze. He was about to check on Haru as well.

Jungkook's deep eyes were like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his emotions. However, Lisa seemed to be burned by this gaze. Her face revealed some discomfort, and she shifted her gaze away awkwardly. Closing her eyes again, she prepared to sleep.

At the same time, Jungkook, who had wanted to check on Haru, unexpectedly met a pair of clear, bright eyes like those of a forest deer. It was as if her eyes were filled with dew in the night, the bright moon in the sky, and loaded with everyone's dreams.

Jungkook felt as if that coolness had calmed his heart. But very quickly, he sensed Lisa's discomfort and withdrew his gaze. At the same time, he moved closer to the bed, trying to distance himself from Lisa.

Fortunately, they were on a custom-made luxurious bed. There was more than enough space for three people.

...

The next morning, when Lisa woke up, Jungkook was already gone.

Because there were still a few scenes to shoot for "The Long Ballad", Lisa had to go to Beijing Film City for a few days.

When Chen Yun received the message from Lisa, he rushed over to fetch her to the production team.

Chen Yun remained silent as he watched Lisa walk out of the manor. He only spoke when Lisa came close to him.

"Lisa, tell me honestly. Did your family get rich again? This is actually a house that your family bought, right?"

"Of course not. If I were so rich, would I need to act as the second female lead?" Lisa felt a little speechless at Chen Yun's imagination.

"That's true." Chen Yun scratched his head. "But don't you live here now?"

"It's just a friend's house. I'm only staying here for a while." Lisa didn't want to talk about her relationship with Jungkook.

"Oh, then your friend is quite nice."

"Yeah."

When they arrived at the set, everyone greeted Lisa upon seeing her. Compared to when she had first joined the production team, the majority of the cast and crew now viewed Lisa very differently.

Initially, everyone had only been biased against Lisa because they had heard that she had a bad temper.

But in reality, Lisa was not only good-looking, but her temper was not as bad as the rumors made her out to be. On the contrary, apart from not taking the initiative to interact with others, she could be considered approachable.

She did not complain about being tired during filming, and had high standards for herself. Furthermore, in their eyes, her acting skills were not as bad as what the rumors said.

"Xiao Xia, come here."

Director Yang waved at Lisa upon her arrival.

"What's wrong, Director?" Lisa thought that something had gone wrong with her scene, so she hurried over to Director Yang.

"Here's the thing. Didn't you draw on a lantern paper the previous time? I brought it home and my daughter's classmate came to visit and saw it coincidentally. She said she quite liked your painting and wanted to get to know you. I wonder if you're willing for me to give her your contact information?"

Li Nian had asked Yang Hui about it and Director Yang promised her that he would convey Li Nian's words to the owner of the painting after he couldn't stand his daughter's pestering anymore.

"Yes, that's not a problem, Director Yang." In fact, in the eyes of the teachers in her previous life, Lisa's painting could only be considered to have barely passed. Therefore, Lisa had never felt that her painting was that great.

She was quite happy as she did not expect that there would be a young man in this era who liked her paintings.

Not far away, Ji-Yoon was fuming as she watched the film crew express their goodwill towards Lisa.

To think she had even bought those people afternoon tea. It was as if she had fed the dogs! Why hadn't she seen them behaving so enthusiastically when she returned?

"Today's first scene is between Xiao Xia and Xiao Ruan. The two of you should prepare for it properly."

After reviewing the schedule, Director Yang instructed everyone on how to proceed.
