Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

151-160

At night, the castle manor was a different kind of beautiful scenery.

In the middle of the tulip-filled terrace was a small fountain. Looking from the direction of the terrace cafe, it faced the endless sea. The ocean was especially gentle tonight without wind or waves, reflecting the brilliant starry sky. The entire sea surface shimmered and shattered the moonlight.

The butler they had seen before brought over two drinks with lemon slices and said something to her in French. Kim Lalisa looked blankly at Jeon Jeongguk , not understanding.

He smiled and translated: "He said you're the most beautiful lady he's ever seen."

Kim Lalisa's eyes shone brightly. "How do you say 'thank you' in French?"

With Jeon Jeongguk's low, attractive voice, speaking French was especially charming: "Merci."

Kim Lalisa imitated his pronunciation. She lightly lifted her own skirt in a somewhat playful gesture, curtsied towards the butler and said "Merci!"

The butler revealed an exaggerated, flattered expression and returned a gentlemanly bow in response.

Kim Lalisa repeated the new word a couple times, still reluctant to stop. "Jeon Jeongguk, will you teach me French in the future? In case we switch identities again someday, I won't be able to speak and will give ourselves away."

Jeon Jeongguk smiled and nodded: "Okay."

He probably understood now where k Kim You's social cow tendencies came from.

She was like a bright pearl, shining brilliantly wherever she went.

The drink had a refreshing lemon scent, with some stimulating bubbles that tingled the taste buds. Kim Lalisa sat down on the terrace sofa, drink in hand, and finally remembered the purpose she had come to find him tonight. She smiled at him, raising her glass: "Chairman Jeon, you did very well today."

Jeon Jeongguk also smiled and leaned over to clink glasses with her: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Kim."

When he called her "Miss Kim", it was a perfectly normal form of address. But coming from his mouth, it seemed to always carry a hint of flirtation.

Kim Lalisa finally understood what it meant to favor someone.

And she was also extremely clear that she was deeply addicted to this favoritism.

At this moment, she was more certain than ever that she was special to him. This feeling of being special no longer came solely from the secret of their body swapping. Every time his deep, penetrating gaze looked at her, it stirred her precarious sanity, like a silent coaxing, tempting her to open that floodgate.

At this moment, that damned competitive streak in Kim Lalisa emerged seeking attention again.

She was determined not to personally lift his restraints, as he seemed to want! On the contrary, she insisted on letting him flood out of control, with waves crashing against the dam he had built. Then the river would burst its banks, overflowing uncontrollably.

Just thinking about it felt thrilling.

Jeon Jeongguk saw the deep meaning surging in her eyes and raised an eyebrow: "What are you thinking about?"

Of course Kim Lalisa couldn't expose her own wicked thoughts. She smiled: "Just wondering when the late-night snack will arrive."

Jeon Jeongguk knew she was lying. He could see right through her little schemes, but he didn't expose her. He just laughed softly and called the butler. Soon, aromatic barbecue was brought out.
