Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

Chapter 131 - Counterstrike ("Lili, we are
already engaged. Why are you still calling me Mr.
Mu?") (2)

While their stock prices were plummeting, their
capital chain being severed, and their corporation
under investigation with possibility of being assessed a penalty, reaching out to Feng Namjoon was, indeed, a very good idea. Xu Lisa couldn't help but frowned - she wasn't sure if the dirt that she had tossed out would be enough to last until the Qin's went belly up.

She worried that if Feng Namjoon was truly as mighty as Bai Jimin had described, he just might be able to save the Qin's.

She pulled out her cellphone and pondered over
whether she should give Mu Jungkook a call. She
knew that he usually caught wind of these news way
before she did. But this one time, at this very critical
moment, she was truly worried that he just might
missed it because he wasn't paying close attention to
Weibo.

Opening up her contact list, she looked down until she found the surname mu and that's when her phone rang.

It was a call from Mu Jungkook .

She picked it up immediately. "Hello, Mr. Mu?"

His relaxed voice that suggested that he was smiling
came from the other end of the phone. "Lili, we
are already engaged. Why are you still referring to
me as Mr. Mu?"

Xu Lisa blushed when she heard that She almost
forgot what it was that she wanted to tell him.

Mu Jungkook did not continue to pursue the subject but just asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Xu Lisa shook her head. "No, not yet."

"Then get ready. I'll have my chauffeur go and pick
you up."

Xu Lisa thought about it for a second. It might be
better to talk about Feng Namjoon with him face to face anyway so she agreed with his suggestion.

Mu Jungkook brought her over to a club. It wasn't
like the one that she had been to when she followed
behind Chen Minyoung when she met up with Chen Mingyu. This one had customers from all walks of life. It was cacophonous and lively.

Xu Lisa was taken over to the couch area. Mu Jungkook ordered her a set of western food but only a glass of wine for himself.

When the steaming steak was served with the
delectable smell, Xu Lisa picked up the utensils
unfamiliar before she remembered to look up at
him and asked, "Mu.... Jungkook, have you had dinner yet?"

Mu Jungkook's lips curved upward. His smile under the light was somewhat perverse. "So you finally dare call me by my name now? I've already eaten earlier."

"Oh..." Xu Lisa lowered her head, cut and fed
herself a little piece of meat. "Then why did you take me here?"

Mu Jungkook lifted up his hand and stroke her plump forehead with his long fingers. He brushed back hair stray hair to behind her ear. "What's wrong with taking my fiancee out to dinner?"

Xu Lisa's heart itched. She lowered her head and
remained silent.

Her shy look made an invasiveness inside of him
stirred. He suppressed that stirring inside of him,
leaned back in the couch and said, "I want you to meet someone today as well."

"eh?" Xu Lisa stopped in her actions and looked
around, "You invited someone else?"

"keep eating. No need to stop." Mu Jungkook turned
around and pointed at a rounded table not too far
from them. "The person that we are going to meet is
sitting over there."

Xu Lisa looked over at the direction that he was
pointing at and saw a few familiar faces.

They were Qin Suho, Mu Sehun, and Feng Namjoon.
Did the three of them get together to see how they
could get through this crisis?

"The Qin's stock price had hit rock bottom. The
contact person on Project Falcon had already
reached out to me and wanted to terminate the
process for the purchasing of Cobra. If this situation lasts for another week or two, then even if I could resolve my credential issue with University of Pennsylvania, the Qin's would still be turned down
by Project Falcon due to poor management. If that
happens, all our investment will be gone," said Qin Suho.
