“Are you ready?”
Jennie's tone was serious as she asked Lisa.


Lisa nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m not a child. I won’t lose control.”

Jennie smiled and walked together with Lisa into the banquet hall.

When the two entered, the engagement feast had already started and they were about to exchange rings.

The dazzlingly beautiful woman on the stage wore a big, happy smile as she looked at the young man with a face so beautiful it seemed to have been carved by the gods themselves. They looked perfectly suited for each other.

Lisa pursed her lips as she watched the man she liked personally slip the ring on somebody else’s finger. She’d warned herself inside, now it was enough.

“Lisa?” Jennie’s worried voice sounded in her ear amongst the applause.

Lisa turned to smile gently at Lina as she said, "Nini, I’m hungry.”

“Come on, let’s go over to eat.”

The engagement feast had all sorts of western style refreshments. When Lisa saw these, she felt her appetite suddenly grow as she filled a plate with food.

“You didn’t eat on the plane?” Jennie saw her attitude and jumped in shock.

“My wound hadn’t yet scabbed over, so how could I dare to eat?”

Jennie saw the wound on Lisa’s lip and remembered that it was from Demon King Jeon’s bite. She secretly smiled. You bite me, I bite you. How out of character it was for somebody like Demon King Jeon to do that. She looked at Lisa’s expression again. She was originally quite worried, but now it seemed like she could finally relax.

“Nana,” someone called.

An elegant, sweet looking woman in a green cheongsam with her hair in an updo walked towards them.

Lisa was startled and tugged on Jennie’s arm, sighing as she said, “Aunty Lin’s truly beautiful today.”

“Mum, did something happen?” Jennie asked.

“Come with me, your father wants to introduce a few people to you.”

Lin Xuejun looked at Lisa and smiled slightly, “I’ll be taking Jennie for a bit, take your time eating.”

“Alright, don’t worry about me.” Lisa waved her fork.

After watching Jennie leave with Aunty Lin, Lisa took her plate and found a seat next to one of the columns in the banquet hall. She slowly ate the snacks, hissing occasionally at the pain on her lip. She seemed rather inharmonious compared to the other grandly dressed and socialising guests as she just sat in the corner, eating.

“You’re also here!” a clear voice said, accompanied by light footsteps.

Lisa cocked her head and saw Lin Yu. She turned away and continued to eat.

“You don’t remember me?”

“My memory’s not that bad.”

Lin Yu smiled and sat beside her, watching as she devoured all the snacks on the plate, one by one.

After she’d finished, he asked, “Do you know Lalisa’s current situation?”

Lisa set down her plate, her gaze wandering around for a while before she finally responded with, “You’re still waiting for her?”

“Mm!” Lin Yu’s reply was very firm.

Lisa turned and looked at Lin Yu’s face which was so similar to Taehyung’s before suddenly laughing. She couldn’t get what she wanted, but what she didn’t want wanted her.
