His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 829 - Still So Shy

Chapter 829 - Still So Shy

Long Jinjing washed the dishes after they finished eating breakfast. She still felt a little dazed after being kissed by Lu Zihao earlier, effectively shutting her up and reducing her IQ for the entire duration of the meal.
Meanwhile, Lu Zihao stepped out to the balcony to make some phone calls, not minding the cold morning weather in the least. Long Jinjing was just finishing up in the kitchen when he returned.
"Ready to go?" he asked. "I'll drive you to work."
She opened her mouth, about to protest again, but he raised a hand to stop her. "No arguments. I'll drive you to work today and that's that."
Long Jinjing bit her lower lip before giving a reluctant nod.
###
Traffic was horrible at this time of the day as people were rushing to go to work. Lu Zihao, however, somehow managed to evade the usual traffic congestion by driving on lesser-known roads.
"Wow, I should remember this route," Long Jinjing remarked while looking at the residential neighbourhoods they were passing by. "I'll drive here next time instead of using the highway."
"It's fine in the morning but don't drive here alone at night," he said. "This area is not very safe."
"Not safe?" She looked around. "But it looks very peaceful here."
"Looks can be very deceiving, don't you know that?"
She pouted.
He smiled at her expression before explaining, "There were some local gangs here in the past. Nothing too major, just some petty wannabe thugs. But they were still quite dangerous especially when they targeted people who were unable to defend themselves in a physical fight. Like you, for example."
Her pout became more pronounced when he used her as an example but she couldn't really argue because she was indeed not skilled in physical fights.
"Recently, however, these local gangs had been…let's just say, they've been 'disbanded' by a more powerful group," he said.
She became more curious but also a little scared. "More powerful? Like a bigger…gang?"
He scowled but quickly smoothed out his expression before saying in bland tone, "That group is nothing like a petty gang. Just call it a group."
"Oh, okay." She instinctively leaned closer to him and away from the window after hearing his story about the gangs. "Those gangs are g-gone, right? Then shouldn't this place be safe now?"
"The gangs themselves are no more but that doesn't mean that their ex-members all left. There might still be some roaming about here and there. That's why I don't recommend that you venture in this area while you're alone especially at night."
"I won't! I'll continue using the highway. I'm not familiar with this area anyway. I already forgot the way."
She had now stopped looking at the view outside, afraid that a scary ex-gang member might pop out and begin shooting at them. Her eyes focused on watching Lu Zihao drive instead. He looked much more attractive than any view in this place, anyway. And she also felt safer in his presence.
A devilish smile lifted the corners of his mouth after seeing her staring at him. "Trying to seduce me?"
Her face and neck heated up. "N-no, of course not! What are you saying?!"
Devilish laughter filled the car. Then he told her, "Don't worry about driving here alone. While we're in this relationship, you'll always have at least one of my subordinates driving you from home to work and back again when I'm not available to do it. No need to be afraid of anything or anyone while you're with me or my subordinates. You'll be safe. I'll make damn sure of that."
She wanted to protest against his insistence of leaving his subordinates to protect her but decided to leave it for now. Despite him scaring her about the former gangs in this area, the atmosphere was still very nice. She didn't want to destroy this moment. He said that he would be out of town today for work and wouldn't return until tomorrow. She shouldn't fight with him today.
After another series of turns, they left the dodgy neighbourhoods and the surroundings finally appeared familiar to her. They would soon arrive at Orchidia Beauty in about ten minutes.
"Jinjing," Lu Zihao called.
"Yes?"
"I'll take the STD test if you agree to go on the pill," he said all of a sudden.
Her head snapped to look at him with a surprised expression.
"Your answer?" he asked.
"I…uhm..." A furrow formed between her brows and she started biting her lower lip. "Can you give me some time to think about it first?"
He raised an eyebrow before sighing. "Fine. But I want an answer by this weekend. The pills need to take at least a week or so to become effective, that's what I heard. Remember that we only have thirty days. I want to try fucking you raw and coming inside you as many times as I can before our deadline."
Her face and neck felt hotter. She covered her face and turned away from him. "D-don't say that!"
The devilish chuckle was back. "Don't say what? Fuck you raw? Come inside you?"
She made a strangled sound in her throat. His devilish laughter only became more devilish.
"Why are you still so shy?" he teased. "I've already fucked you so many times in the two nights that we've been together so far."
"Please…just stop…" Long Jinjing felt so embarrassed at his vulgar words but at the same time, heat began to pool in her lower abdomen. When she shifted a little on her seat, she felt moisture between her legs. His words now had a direct effect on her body.
"You'll give me an answer by this weekend?" he asked again.
"Y-yes," she said while trying to control her embarrassment and her out-of-place desire.
"Good."
Finally, they arrived at Orchidia Beauty.
"You can drop me off here," she said when they entered the parking area.
Lu Zihao, however, ignored her and continued to drive until they reached the office building's front entrance. He stopped the car just as some of the employees arriving for work turned their heads at the unfamiliar vehicle.
