His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 783 - Restless

Chapter 783 - Restless

The guest bedroom was small and only had a standard double bed. It had an old-style feeling but also very feminine with all the floral prints and patterns on the decorations.
"My mother sleeps here when she visits me," Long Jinjing explained. "I'm sorry but the bed will be too small for you. You'll just have to make do with it tonight."
"It's fine," Lu Zihao said.
She nodded. "Come, I'll show you the bathroom."
He followed her and was pleasantly surprised that the bathroom was bigger than he expected. It also smelled very nice, reminding him of the bathrooms at Dragon Palace Home #10. Then he realized why. Orchidia Beauty products were organized in a neat row on the shelves.
Long Jinjing handed him a new, unopened toothbrush. "Would you like to shower?"
He raised an eyebrow at her question but she didn't see it because she was busy taking a clean towel for him. "I don't have any men's clothes here that I can lend you but we can machine wash and dry your clothes. It'll only take about an hour."
"No need."
"Okay. I'll leave you now, then."
He nodded.
"Good night, Mr. Lu."
"Good night, Miss Long."
He watched as she left. He closed the door and locked himself inside the bathroom. His casual and calm expression morphed into something feral. The feminine scent of the woman who just left lingered in the air. He was able to distinguish it from the pleasant blend of scents from the Orchidia Beauty products in the bathroom.
His nostrils flared as Long Jinjing's lingering feminine scent shot straight down his groin and instantly made him hard. The violent energy and raging bloodlust boiled inside him with more intensity than ever. He failed to relieve the fierce residual energy inside him earlier and now it was bombarding at his willpower with vengeance.
He glared at his reflection. All his muscles tensed as he forced himself to control his lust.
The current situation was very bad. Severe. With the residual violent energy raging inside him, he was akin to a starving beast right now. He needed something to release it and Long Jinjing was looking more and more appealing in his eyes.
She was like a lily in full bloom—graceful and elegant yet had an underlying strength despite her delicate appearance. He could sense that she would be able to take him.
"Fuck."
He needed to think about something else or he would be creating a mess inside the woman's bathroom. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

What made him agree to her invitation to stay for the night? He knew about his current volatile condition. It was a very bad idea to stay alone with an attractive woman with just a wall separating their rooms.
The only thing stopping him from seducing the woman was her connection to his sister. Long Jinjing was his sister's friend. Not only that, the woman was also the blood sibling of her sister's current body. He didn't give a fuck about the blood sister part because it didn't have anything to do with him and he knew that his sister didn't really consider her body's blood relatives as her true relatives anyway. He was more concerned about the friendship between his sister and the woman.
As someone who only took bedmates and not lovers, he couldn't just casually touch anyone close to his sister, especially her friends. It would just complicate things. If things went awry later, his sister would be placed in an awkward position and he didn't want to do that to her. She already had her hands full with her pregnancy, taking care of her injured man, and also their upcoming wedding.
His mood plunged in an instant upon remembering that his sister was pregnant. His baby sister, whose current body was so frail and weak, was fucking pregnant! And with twins! Shit. He wouldn't be able to sleep worrying about her.
After taking a few deep breaths in an effort to calm himself, he noticed that his erection finally started to subside. It seemed like worrying about his sister was the most effective libido-killer.
Taking a shower would have to wait until he got home. Doing it in a woman's territory might trigger his lust again so he left the bathroom after brushing his teeth, washing his face, and finishing his other business.
Long Jinjing was already in her own bedroom when he headed to the guest bedroom.
Once inside the guest bedroom, he stood there in silence and took a moment to sweep his eyes everywhere for a thorough inspection. It was a force of habit, even though he knew that there should be no danger in this place except for his lust towards the woman next door. He didn't bother turning on the lights. His natural night vision was excellent and could see virtually everything in the dark.
After his room inspection, he removed his long-sleeved shirt and threw it carelessly on the foot of the bed. Lightning flashed outside, illuminating his wide, muscled, nude torso full of scars for a second before it went dark again. He removed his belt next and threw it after his discarded shirt.
The bed was small. His feet dangled off the edge when he laid his body in a straight position.
He felt very restless. There was no way he would be able to sleep tonight. Sighing, he rose and began doing a series of exercises on the floor.
Push-ups. Sit-ups. Crunches.
Nothing worked.
Handstand push-ups.
Still didn't work.
He needed to do something. Anything!
His ears pricked as he heard the faint sounds of a door opening and light footsteps outside. It seemed like he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep tonight. His mouth curved in a devilish smirk.
Straightening his body from the floor, he grabbed his shirt and used it to wipe the sweat off his body before throwing it back on the bed.
Then he strolled out of the guest bedroom with no shirt on and his pants riding low over his hips.
