Chapter 26 - Loyalty (She took a step forward and
threaded her arm through his intimately.) (1)

Xu Lisa quickly walked up to him and said softly,
"Mr. Mu."

"You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Mu Jungkook stood up straight and opened up the backseat door for her.

"Come home with me."

When she walked out, she was still worried about how to explain away the incident that Jiang Taehyung had her fox. But Mu Jungkook looked like he was in a good mood and didn't mind about the incident at all.

She let her guard down and sat next to him.

"The 16th is a friend's birthday and there will be a
banquet." He pulled out a large box from underneath
the seat, handed it over to her, and said, "Wear this on that day."

Xu Lisa took the box from him and nodded.

"Okay."

His lips curved up, and he gestured her with his chin.

"Go on, open it up and take a look."

Xu Lisa cautiously unwrapped the package and
inside was a nicely folded formal dress - even
when it was folded up it looked very elegant.

The original owner was quite an expert in fashion,
and she could tell that it's a haute couture made by
Brand D. Its cost was at least in the 7-digit.

She was both flattered and surprised by this.

Covering the box back up, she said, "I will be careful
with it and will return it on the morning of the 17th."

Mu Jungkook didnt care for that His slender and long fingers drummed on the box, and he said, "What? You think I can't even afford dress for you?"

Xu Lisa was speechless - This wasn'T just "a
dress now, was it? The cost of the dress, for
someone whose company had just Gone belly up, was a significant amount!

She shook her head. "no, we should return it
afterward"

"Then all thatI have done in The last few days would
be in vain" He waved his hand as he frowned. "'s a
gift Just keep it"

Xu Lisa paused a little, then cocked her head and
studied him. She forced her way into his eyes.

Lights in the suburban areas flickered on and off
and gave his hard side profile a warm feel. He was
certainly more attractive than many of the actors.

His impatience toward Xu Lisa was obvious
through his raised brows and somewhat fierce look,
but for some inexplicable reasons, she had never felt closer to him than right now,

This was the very firsthaute coulure dress that
she owned.even though if was ready made, it still
represented a new milesfone. She held on tighter to
the box and nodded in acknowledgement of accepting the dress, "Where have you been the last few days?"

His eyes flickered a little before he turned and
looked outside the window. "You dont need to worry
about that"

After a little while, he added, "If you like the fox, you
can keep it at home. We don't need stupid dogs to take it away again."

Xu Lisa paused for a little before she realized
that he had already heard about the incident between
the fox and Jiang Taehyung.

He probably heard it from Xiao Rose.

Luckily, in her panic state, she typed a few extra
words and added that it was the husky who took the
fox away. It has nothing to do with Jiang Taehyung.

She smiled lightly and said, "No, I shouldn't. A pet can
be a hassle."

He let out a low humph before he said again, "That
fox is certainly loyal. It was kicking and punching that Jiang person in all of his WeChat posts."

He still remembered that when he saw the little fox
for the first time, it docilely and cooperatively laid
down by his feet before obediently jumping into his
arms and wanting to shower with him.

What a rational fox.

His lips curved upward. He shifted to a more
comfortable position and crossed his legs. "Get some sleep. We will be home soon."

Xu Lisa didn't argue again and closed her eyes.

Before long, she could hear soft snoring coming
from beside her.

He was the one who told her to sleep, yet he fell asleep before her?

She turned her head a little and watched him quietly.

She noticed that his sleeves were rolled up, and there was a large patch of bruise on his arm.

She picked up her cellphone and texted Xiao Yuan,
"What did Mr. Mu do in the last few days?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Rose turned to look at her before she responded softly, "I don't know. He didn't tell anyone."

Clutching the phone in her hand, Xu Lisa's heart
softened.
