On the tray was an entire set of fragile glass tea cups and a full pot of boiling water.

If all of this landed Lisa's face, it would either kill her or disfigure her.

Tzuyu fell forward, sneering to herself.

'Lisa, as long as you disappear from this world, the Brushweiler family and Jungkook will be mine.'

Before Lisa could react, the man in front of her had already held her tightly in his arms. What followed was the sound of the tea set breaking.

The purple clay teapot struck Jungkook's shoulder, and the fabric on his shoulder were all scalded.

The man frowned silently.

The rest of the boiling water flowed on the ground, giving off hot steam and covering the ground with glass shards.

If not for Jungkook's quick reaction, the pot of boiling water would have already struck Lisa's face. Coupled with the broken tea set, this would be a proper plastic surgery package.

[ This scene is giving kdrama vibe 👀 ]

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, sister. I didn't mean to!" Tzuyu stood up and lowered her head slightly. She seemed to be apologizing, but the discontent was clear in her eyes.

'Why has Jungkook seemed to have changed into a different person? Why was he being so protective of Lisa?'

Jungkook ignored to Tzuyu's apology. Instead, he helped Lisa sit up straight and carefully looked at Lisa to see if she was injured.

In an instant, Lisa felt a little touched.

He had several layers of fabric on him, but the water would have scalded him, nevertheless. Even so, his first reaction was to check if she was alright.

"I'm fine," she said. Lisa shook her head and reached out to touch Jungkook's shoulder.

Jungkook shook his head and grabbed her hand. "I'm afraid I'll have to go to your room to tidy up."

Lisa nodded and quickly led Jungkook to her room. She took Jungkook to the bathroom, then found suitable clothes and a first-aid kit from her brother's room. She went back to her room.

Just as Lisa was walking back to her room with a fresh set of clothes and the first-aid kit, she saw Tzuyu standing hesitantly at the door.

In the original book, Tzuyu liked Jungkook very much. Later on, even if she had to suffer along with the Jeon family as they incurred heavy losses brought by her actions, she only had Jungkook in her sights.

"Tzuyu, is incest your hobby?"

Tzuyu heard Lisa's voice and jumped up in shock. She looked at Lisa with hatred in her eyes.

"Mr. Jeon is an honored guest of our family. Besides, I messed up just now. What's wrong with coming to apologize to him?" Tzuyu raised her chin and spoke confidently to Lisa.

Lisa wasn't angry. She smiled. "Where exactly did you mess up? The fall, or the target?"

The carpet in the brushweiler family's house had a velvety texture. It was not slippery, certainly not enough to trip people up.

"My dear younger sister, your clumsiness knows no bounds. How did you manage to fall in our home? You practically grew up with that carpet."

Tzuyu's face alternated between a deep blush and a deathly white. She couldn't keep up with the act any longer. "You! I'm concerned about your husband! What are you getting at?"

"You said it yourself. He's my husband, so stay away from him. Stop trying to get your paws on him, it's so blatant that I'm having second-hand embarrassment." Lisa smiled, held the door handle, pulled the door open, and walked in.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Jungkook, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, standing by the bed and looking at her with burning eyes.

Her pink bath towel barely covered some important bits, exposing his broad shoulders, eight-pack abs, and eye-catching striations.

Lisa's face burned red. It was broad daylight, and such a handsome man was standing by the bed, with her bath towel around him. Her mind was suddenly filled with depraved obscenities.

She quickly looked away and handed the clothes in her hands to the man. "Get changed in the bathroom."

Jungkook took the clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Lisa then remembered what she had just said to Tzuyu, "He's my husband, so stay away from him."

She didn't know if Jungkook, who was standing in the room, had heard her.

Lisa opened her first-aid kit and deftly found bandages and burn ointment. Before she found herself in this life, she had been a very dedicated actress. She took part in many scenes by herself and was unwilling to have stunt doubles take her place.

Therefore, she took many bumps and falls, and grew skilled at treating her wounds.

Just as she finished preparing, Jungkook walked out of the bathroom.

"Will you be helping me?" The man's voice came from behind Lisa.

Lisa turned around, only to see that the man was still undressed. There was a large red burn mark on his bare shoulder.

"Yes."

Lisa slowly approached Jungkook's side with some alcohol and burn cream.
