The next day, Lisa woke up and immediately got ready for her date and left the house without eating breakfast. She wasn't scared of the four people inside the house. . . She was just disgusted by them.

Jungkook was already waiting for her outside, and she entered the car quickly before they drove out of the neighborhood.

"Where are we going?" Lisa asked.

"You'll see."

Thirty minutes later, they stopped in front of a building Lisa didn't know existed. It was at the end of a street filled with expensive dress shops that were very famous in Country Z.

However, there wasn't even a label in front of this store, so maybe. . . it didn't have a name?

Jungkook helped open her car door and they walked over to the building together. Lisa knew this street. Rich families came here often to buy evening gowns and other outfits for parties and gatherings. She had been here with Li Huiran and Eunha before in her past life.

But nobody ever came to the shop they were going into. Maybe because people thought it was empty with its black and dirty walls. Or maybe it was because no one even knew this part of the street existed.

Jungkook pulled the door open and they walked into another small room that had nothing but a couch with a hole in the cushion. Jungkook walked forward to another door inside this room and he entered a five-digit passcode into the lock.

With a ding, the door opened and Lisa caught a glimpse of what was inside. However, she was still very surprised when she actually walked in.

The inside of the building was enormous, and it was actually another dress shop. The walls were painted gold and several chandeliers hung from the ceiling.

Unlike other stores, there were only a few dresses that were on display inside, but Lisa noticed that every single one looked incredibly gorgeous. And they looked kind of familiar. . .

Jungkook walked over to what seemed like the front desk and tapped his finger once on the surface.

"Ah!" Lisa jumped back in shock when a person suddenly appeared from behind the desk. The man seemed to have been sleeping when Jungkook rudely woke him up, and he screamed as he rubbed his eyes:

"How did you get in? The store is closed! Get out!!"

Jungkook tapped on the desk again impatiently and didn't move. The man narrowed his eyes as he looked up at Jungkook and gasped.

"Lord Jeon!" He walked around the desk, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I'm here with my girlfriend."

The man looked over and seemed to just realize Lisa's presence as his eyes lit up, "Oh, so you're Mrs. Jeon."

"I'm -"

"So beautiful! No wonder cold Lord Jeon fell for you!"

Lisa raised one eyebrow and glanced at Jungkook, who was playing around with a pen on the desk now.

"Um. . . Who are you?" Lisa asked.

The man stretched his hand out and smiled proudly, "I'm Qin Lai. Nice to meet you!"

Lisa was about to shake his hand when she froze, "Qin Lai?"

"That's me!"

Lisa took a step back as her mouth fell open. Qin Lai was no ordinary person. . . He was the pride of Country Z, the king of the fashion world. After starting his own fashion line when he was only 17, his name became history in the fashion industry.

He even refused to leave his own brand and go work for Hepix, even though Hepix had tried to invite him over several times. His clothing was never sold.

Although it sounded weird, ever since he began his own clothing line, he hadn't sold a single piece of clothing. They were presented to the world through magazines, shows, and awards. But no one has ever successfully bought a piece of clothing from Qin Lai.

Who would have thought that inside this small and inconspicuous shop, lived a king?!

"You. . . You're Qin Lai?" Lisa stuttered out. Many rumors said that Qin Lai was actually very ugly because he never refused to attend any shows or award ceremonies. But, this man in front of her. . . He was beautiful!

Yes, beautiful was the correct word to describe him. His facial features were probably even more flawless than women's. His eyes were narrow but attractive, and he had a tall nose and thin, red lips. Lisa wouldn't be surprised if he said he was a model or celebrity.

"Yep!" He nodded his head as a sparkle flashed past his eyes.

"I. . ." Lisa blushed, "I'm your fan! I really like every single piece of clothing by you, and I watched every single show with your work inside."

Qin Lai grinned and peaked at the man leaning against his desk.

Jungkook immediately stopped playing around with the pen and he threw it back onto the desk, "Okay, enough talking! Qin Lai, I'm here for a dress."

Lisa blinked a few times. Dress? For what?

Qin Lai rolled his eyes and glanced at Jungkook, "Okay, come in."

The three of them walked into another small room and there were two couches and a table with a tea set on top.

They sat down and Qin Lai looked up at Jungkook, "What do you want now?"

"Evening gowns."

"For what occasion?"

"Engagement ceremony and wedding."

Qin Lai nodded, "Your engagement ceremony and wedding?"

Jungkook grinned, "No."

"Oh, then you shouldn't have come to me. All my dresses are too beautiful and eye-catching. You don't want to steal the spotlight away from the bride."

"That's the point." Jungkook replied.

Qin Lai and Lisa both widened their eyes as they looked at Jungkook, who didn't seem to care.

By now, Lisa had guessed what Jungkook had brought her here for. Were they shopping for a dress to go to Eunha and Sehun's engagement ceremony and wedding?

"Uh. . . Okay." Qin Lai scratched the back of his head and nodded, "Any color preference? Style?"

Jungkook turned to look at Lisa, who sat up straighter to respond.

"Um. . . no." Lisa looked at Jungkook and lowered her voice, "Are we shopping here for a dress to go to Sehun and Eunha's engagement party and wedding."

Jungkook smiled warmly, "Yes."

Lisa frowned, "You know that Qin Lai doesn't sell his clothing, right?"

Qin Lai heard what Lisa said and he chuckled, "Your right! I don't sell my clothing to anyone. . . but your husband."

Jungkook smiled with satisfaction at Qin Lai's words as he crossed his legs together.

"Um. . . We're not married yet." Lisa muttered.

"Doesn't matter." Qin Lai waved his hand and smiled, "It's only a matter of time."

Jungkook's smile only grew wider.

Lisa sighed, "Do you two know each other? Is that why you only sell your clothing to him?"

Qin Lai shook one finger, "No, no, no. It's much more than just knowing each other. You see, I wouldn't want to sell my clothing to him either if I didn't have to."

Jungkook glared at Qin Lai, who nervously cleared his throat before continuing, "But he's my boss."
