Chapter 116 - Going Home ("If I ever find you
visiting these kinds of places with another man, I will make sure you won't be able to get out of bed.") (2)

And that was the scene that Mu Jungkook witnessed
when he arrived at the bar.

There were quite a few customers in the bar and the music was very loud. But her slap was so hard that many have heard and looked over at them.

Mu Jungkook walked up, stood next to her, and asked, "Xu WanZhi, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing." Xu Lisa gave Chen Mingyu a look before
she turned toward Mu Jungkook and put her arm
on his naturally. Then she said loudly, as though
purposefully so Chen Mingyu could hear, "Let's head home, dear."

Mu Jungkook's fierce look scraped over Chen Mingyu like knives before he removed her hand from his arm.

Xu Lisa paused and looked at him dubiously. She
could see a smile in his eyes. Then, he pulled her
arms back and pinned her on the bar table.

And, immediately after that, his kiss landed on her.

Xu Lisa was pinned between his arms and the bar
table. The only thing she could smell was his scent.

All of her anger earlier was gone and all there was left was her heartbeats that sounded like thunders.

After a long while, Mu Jungkook, almost having her lips between this teeth, said, "Lili, if I ever seen you
coming to these kinds of places with another man, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."

Xu Lisa knew that he only said that because of
Chen Mingyu, but she blushed nonetheless.

She nodded slightly, freed her arms and wrapped
them around his waist.

And the two left just like that after dishing out the .

Chen Mingyu gripped tightly onto the wine glass and there was almost fire in his eyes. That girl was strong.

He could taste blood in his mouth from her slap.

His cheek was burning. He splashed the glass of
iced-cold lemon water onto his face and looked at her through the water.

She looked enchanting and arrogant from behind and she was standing so close to Mu Jungkook.

Inside the car that was travelling in high speed, Xu Lisa sat silently in the passenger seat.

Mu Jungkook glanced over at her and cut in front of another car. "That was one hell of a slap earlier. Why are you so quiet now?"

Xu Lisa looked down, obviously not very high
spirited. She remained silent for a while longer
before she said softly, "I didn't go there with Chen Mingyu. I followed Chen Minyoung there. I'm sorry, Mr. Mu."

Her sudden apology surprised Mu Jungkook. He let
out a long sigh. He was going to wait until she wanted
to come clean to him on her own even he could tell
how much he had changed lately. His patience and
accommodation to her surprised even himself.

It was the end of summer and this was the last of the stuffy heat.

He raised the window and turned on the
air-conditioning. "The Old Madam summoned me this afternoon and wanted to talk about the engagement. We've set a date already. It is going to be next Friday. She had also contacted a few media companies and planned to announce it on a broad scale."

"next Friday?" Xu Lisa sat up. "No. We can't get
engaged on that day."

Mu Jungkook paused for a second and brought the
car to an abrupt stop as he pulled over. "Xu Lisa,
what did you just say?" He released his seat belt and narrowed his eyes. His look suggested danger.

"Are you turning me down?"

"Mr. Mu, I." She recalled the unspeakable pictures
of her that Chen Minyoung had. Xu Lisa lowered her eyes and said, "It won't befit you to be engaged to me."

"How?" Mu Jungkook snickered. "How so?"

Having said that, he lifted his hand wiped the side
of his mouth - as though he could still feel her kiss
form earlier.

Xu Lisa's heart was beating faster. She tried to
calm herself before saying to him in her most serious tone, "Chen Minyoung had some very damaging information on me. I've already reached out to Jen-jie, but... the chance of this being resolved amicably is slim to nil."

Mu Jungkook, too, was solemn, "So?"
