Chapter 61: Racing Competition

Upon entering the car, Lalisa immediately informed Jungkook, "My bicycle is still parked at the entrance of Phoenix Restaurant. Please arrange to have someone return it to me. I need to ride it to work tomorrow."

Jungkook responded, "Is that all you have to say when you see me, Lalisa?"

Lalisa turned to him and inquired, "Then, what would you like me to say?"

She was aware that Jungkook would likely ask about her supposed pregnancy, but she had only misled Director Zhang. She couldn't control what conclusions he might draw in the future.

Whether he believed her or not was beyond her control.

Jungkook also understood the fact but still pressed, "Why didn't you deny it just now?"

Lalisa replied matter-of-factly, "You're right. I didn't come with you. And I agreed to your offer for a ride home."

"You know what I want to ask. I don't intend to dwell on the past. I just want to know what you initially told Jeon Hai. How can he genuinely believe you were pregnant?" Jungkook opted for straightforwardness.

Lalisa was well aware that her action caused consequences for the Jeon Corporation. Thus, she admitted the truth, saying, "I haven't seen Jeon Hai since the banquet. It was when I visited the hospital that I encountered Director Zhang, who was approaching my godmother. I had a hunch that his intentions weren't simple, so I played along with his insinuations and even used some expressions."

She sat upright, rested her hand on her abdomen, and cast an ambiguous glance at Jungkook, conveying her intended message.

Jungkook chuckled. "Is that what you told him?"

"He inquired if something wonderful was on the horizon. I didn't feel like explaining extensively, so I naturally followed his lead and spouted nonsense," Lalisa explained, spreading her hands.

She didn't perceive her actions as wrongdoing. No one with common sense would take her words seriously, yet Director Zhang had reacted as though he had been struck by lightning. It was as if he considered it normal for a young woman to casually claim pregnancy in front of a stranger.

From the very beginning, they seemed determined to believe it, without even considering evidence.

Jungkook naturally grasped this point. It was precisely why he had unabashedly employed this falsehood. They had concocted this lie themselves, and they should bear the consequences.

Yet, he found himself growing increasingly curious about Lalisa. Her approach to matters was strikingly candid. She seemed utterly unconcerned about others' perceptions, and her carefree demeanor didn't quite match her age.

She had saved him during their first encounter. She even dared to directly use a gun to kill people. Jungkook was genuinely intrigued by her past experiences, and wished she wwould allow him to court her.

Confronted by Jungkook's probing gaze, Lalisa feigned ignorance. She lacked the patience to provide explanations to others.

After observing her for a moment, Jungkook inquired, "Xiumin was standing beside you earlier. He's a lawyer. Are you planning to file a lawsuit?"

It was only then that Lalisa turned to look at him. "You know each other?"

"We've known each other since childhood," Jungkook responded.

At this point, Lalisa regretted asking Jin to find her a lawyer. Why did he find Jungkook's friend? No wonder Xiumin had appeared so uneasy earlier.

She sneered and remarked, "There is indeed a lawsuit to pursue. Your friend asked me a lot of questions earlier. He's well aware that the pregnancy rumors are baseless."
