Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

55

Chapter 55 - About To Be exposed ("So tell me. Who
are you really, hmm?") (2)

And that was how things worked more or less in
the business word. Some times a big contract could
be negotiated over a sip of wine or a cigarette.

Sometimes, one could bend over backward to no avail.

Bai Jimin could tell that she had already connected
the dots and added, "He isn't just the capital behind
Qin Suho. Words had it that he has some sort of
relationships with Mu Jungkook's brother as well."

To put it simply, he's someone from the opposite side.

Xu Lisa nodded profoundly. She hadn't expected
that Mu Jungkook has been facing enemies coming
from so many different directions. The situation
was worse than she had anticipated. He even has a
brother who was still waiting stealthily on the sideline.

Having a lot of enemies was one thing, the enemies
colluding with each other was a whole different
ballgame.

Speaking of his brother Mu w, Xu Lisa
was reminded that she had used Taking the Yang
for the Yin' on him the very first day that she had
transmigrated over and caused him a lot of damage.

Such a long time had past since then, she wondered
whether he was still alive or had gotten any better.

Seeing that Xu Lisa had fallen into deep thought,
Bai Jimin comforted her, "Don't worry about what
is going on in the business world, Miss Xu. Just take
him back quickly and get some rest yourself."

Having said that, he even nicely opened the car door
for her.

"Okay, I will." Xu Lisa got inside the car docisely
and waved at him.

Inside the car, Mu Jungkook sat in the seat in a
spread-eagle way and snored like it was nobody's
business.

Xu Lisa had never seen him in such an unkempt
state. She covered her mouth, smiled, and asked the
chauffeur to turn the air-conditioning down.

It was already past midnight when they got back to
their apartment. Luckily the chauffeur was quite
strong and was able to drag Mu Jungkook back to
the bedroom by himself. Xu Lisa worried about
him going to sleep just like that and went over to the
kitchen to make him a cup of honey water. She tucked on his ear and called out to him for a while before she was able to wake him to have some of the drink.

Mu Jungkook opened his eyes up into a slit, took a look at her, groggily had half a cup of the water before he laid back down.

Xu Lisa shook her head in resignation and
struggled to remove his suit, shirt and pants, revealing in front of her eyes were his well-defined and sturdy muscles.

Looking at the stabbing scar on his waist, she
suddenly recalled the day when he held her hand
and told her about his past and let her stroke his scar over and over again....

When she came to her cheeks were burning a little.

She stood up and pulled the blanket over his waist.

When she was about to turn and walk away, he had
reached out and grabbed her by her wrist.

"Aye." His voice had always been deep and thick. It
was even more lazy and sexy when mixed a night of
drinking. "Who are you?"

She frowned slightly. She had been running around
all night long helping him undress and feeding him
beverage that would help him feel better in the
morning and he didn't even know who she was?

Standing where she was, she said in resignation, "Xu Lisa."

Unexpectedly, he paused for a while, then busted out
laughing as though she had just said something very
funny. He waved his hand and said, "No, you are not
Xu Lisa."

Xu Lisa, too, was a little stunned. She opened up
her mouth a little and, in that moment, was not able to
tell if he meant what he said or whether he was just
drunk.

Outside of the window came another thundering
noise.... It was probably going to be another
thunderous night.

He rolled over and faced upward. Placing his right
hand over his forehead and with his left hand still
holding onto her wrist tightly, he said, "You are
definitely not Xu Lisa. So, tell me, who are you
really, hmm?"
