Chapter 75

Jin Taehui was very sure she had just heard a woman's voice coming from Lee Jeonghee's room, especially that clear and melodious laughter. Although she didn't want to admit it, it was indeed very charming.

Of course, this only made her angrier. However, when she opened the door, there was no one else in Lee Jeonghee's room besides him. The room was large, but there were no places to hide anyone, and the view was wide open, which made her pause in confusion. Then she looked at Lee Jeonghee with doubt, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"No one!" Lee Jeonghee replied casually, but he was inwardly puzzled, especially when he secretly sniffed the air and found it still filled with Alice's elegant fragrance, which she had undoubtedly left intentionally.

Could this be the reason for her satisfaction? Did she want to use Jin Taehui against him? That seemed unlikely and the effect would be limited.

"No one!" As Lee Jeonghee pondered, Jin Taehui huffed and sniffed the air, her brows furrowing, "The room is full of a woman's scent!"

She walked up to him, staring into his eyes with annoyance, "The scent is the same as the one in Sokcho last time!"

Her memory was really good, and she was so perceptive that she could immediately recognize Alice's scent.

Lee Jeonghee, of course, couldn't admit it. Instead, he pointed to the room with a helpless look, "There's no one here. The window is closed, and this is the second floor..."

This was also what Jin Taehui was puzzled about. She had opened the door as soon as she heard the voice, and there was no way anyone could have run away that quickly. However, she couldn't have been mistaken, and it was the second time she had heard it. The scent was still there, so it couldn't be a trick.

Unable to figure it out, she stared at Lee Jeonghee with renewed doubt. Suddenly, Lee Jeonghee waved her over and pulled her by the hand, saying, "Sit down first!"

Jin Taehui was taken aback and was involuntarily pulled to sit next to him. Before she could react, Lee Jeonghee had already tightly embraced her waist and quickly kissed her lips.

There was no way to avoid it; if he continued to tangle with her, it would lead to bigger problems. Moreover, if he took his time, this girl might run away out of shyness. Learning from past mistakes, Lee Jeonghee this time acted swiftly and decisively.

Jin Taehui's eyes instantly widened, and she instinctively struggled a bit, but he held her tightly, making it impossible for her to move. Then, when she felt his lips gently suck on hers, her face flushed, and her body softened, quickly falling into that gentle yet wild kiss.

After a long time, Jin Taehui, in a daze, suddenly came to her senses, or perhaps the pace was too fast. Jin Taehui was both shy and frightened, and she said in a shy voice, "No!"

Caught, Lee Jeonghee was a bit embarrassed. After a chuckle, he didn't insist but leaned down to kiss her again, gently, as she tried to hide her face.

"Stop it!" Jin Taehui shyly avoided his still aggressive gaze, fearing he might do something worse. She lightly punched his chest, but inside, she was filled with happiness, as if honey was about to spill out.

"You're already promised to me by your mother, so what's a kiss?" Lee Jeonghee chuckled, finally achieving his goal. He felt a man's pride and gently held her, making her sit in his lap. Seeing her now completely shy and delicate, he couldn't resist kissing her again, passionately, only letting her go when she was almost out of breath.

"I won't marry you!" Jin Taehui panted, even more embarrassed, and glared at him. Then she lay on his shoulder and lightly bit his neck.

This move made Lee Jeonghee's blood boil. He let out a soft cry, and she, blushing, buried her face in his chest, afraid to speak or move, fearing he might suddenly go crazy.

Fortunately, Lee Jeonghee didn't. Instead, he lifted her head and, in her shyness, gently kissed her lips again.

After a long while, Jin Taehui timidly raised her head and looked at Lee Jeonghee, saying, "Am I really too wild and hateful?"

This was her concern, especially now, with this sudden gentleness making her even more uneasy, afraid of losing him. Of course, Kim Hyeongdeok's words had made a deep impression on her as an older sister.

Lee Jeonghee was taken aback, then laughed, shaking his head, "No, not at all..." Her previous stubbornness and lack of reason were just her way of getting his attention and wanting to be close to him.

She was very, very smart, just young now. She would grow into a wise, measured, and far-sighted woman, as he had already seen in his past life.

Speaking of which, he was the real fool. So, he gently poked her cute nose and said seriously, "You are you, and no matter what, I like you..."

These words made Jin Taehui incredibly happy. Her face lit up with a radiant smile, beautiful and dazzling, but she lightly punched his chest, pouting, "Liar, big liar, I don't believe you!"

Lee Jeonghee smiled and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. Then, Kim Miyeon's voice came through, "What are you doing? If you don't come out, we won't wait for you to eat!"

"Ah!" Jin Taehui suddenly remembered she had come to call Lee Jeonghee for lunch. She had been hesitant when she came, but now she was sitting in the brat's lap, having done something bad, and didn't want to leave.

Fortunately, Kim Miyeon, with her previous experience, didn't open the door directly. Jin Taehui quickly replied, "Ah, we're coming!" and then, blushing, stood up, holding Lee Jeonghee's shoulder.

Seeing that he was still aroused, she blushed and quickly turned her head, inwardly spitting.

The redness in her face and ears took a while to fade, and it took them a while to tidy up their clothes before they went out. Jin Taehui, still blushing, took a different direction and came down the stairs from the other side. However, when she saw Kim Miyeon's teasing eyes, she couldn't help but blush again.

Lee Jeonghee, on the other hand, was thick-skinned. He apologized to everyone first, then cheerfully turned on the TV, sat next to Kim Jin-joong, and opened the wine he had brought from the old house, pouring it for Gao Xiuzhen, himself, and Kim Gwangnam.

"Jeonghee is becoming more sensible and capable!" Kim Gwangnam took the glass from Lee Jeonghee with a smile, sincerely praising him, "I remember last year when I saw him, he didn't pay much attention to people..."

Kim Gwangnam was a law professor at Seoul National University and a person of status. He had three daughters, so he was very envious of Lee Gongdang's three sons, especially his eldest son, Lee Seokhee.

Lee Seokhee was not only smart but also sensible and steady from a young age. After Lee Seokhee also studied law, Kim Gwangnam found him even more likable. If Lee Gongdang had agreed, he would have long wanted to adopt Lee Seokhee as his son.

As for Lee Jeonghee, although he was incredibly smart, the straightforward Kim Gwangnam found him immature and didn't think much of him before.

Now, for the suddenly changed Lee Jeonghee, he was surprised but also very happy as an elder, though he still spoke his mind.

The old Lee Jeonghee didn't understand, thinking his uncle didn't get along with him, so he wasn't close to him. But now it was different, so he smiled and replied, "Uncle is right, I was young and didn't know any better!"

Kim Jin-joong, sitting next to him, was very satisfied with Lee Jeonghee's response. The child had truly grown up, so he protectively said, "That's nothing, who doesn't have a naive time?"

He looked at everyone and said, "When I was as old as Jeonghee, I didn't study and just fooled around all day. I wasn't as steady as he is now..."

Kim Gwangnam also chuckled, "I didn't fool around, but I was a闷罐子 (meng guan zi)!"

Everyone laughed at this, and they all looked at Lee Jeonghee with admiration, feeling that the child had truly grown up and become capable. Jin Taehui looked at him with immense pride and tenderness...
