His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1131 - Power To Destroy

Chapter 1131 - Power To Destroy

Later in the afternoon, Long Jinjing waved goodbye to the employees while walking out of the company building. Chen Fei already left Orchidia Beauty earlier at mid-afternoon to attend an interview with Jin Chonglin. The two would continue publicizing the Prinz men's line together until the end of the year. Long Jinjing felt relieved that her best friend wasn't here to witness her getting in Lu Zihao's car. It wouldn't surprise her if Chen Fei would try to jump into the car to beat up Lu Zihao and scold him.
"Did you wait long?" Long Jinjing asked after getting inside the car.
Instead of replying, Lu Zihao pulled her and gave her a hot, deep kiss. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and responded with as much gusto as she could give at the moment. Their tongues intertwined, increasing the temperature inside the car, and of course, their own bodies. When their glistening mouths separated, both of them were dazed with their mutual desire for each other.
Long Jinjing didn't let go of his neck yet. She rubbed her cheek against his now smoothly shaven face, missing his facial hair a little. "Are you okay driving so soon?"
He grunted.
"Alright." She finally let him go.
He reached over her and put on the seatbelt for her before giving her a light but lingering peck on the mouth. The tip of his tongue swept over her lips, making her shiver in sensual delight.
"We'll eat an early dinner first and then I'll bring you somewhere," he told her.
"Okay."
She didn't bother asking him where they were going. Since yesterday, her intuition had been telling her that today was going to be important. She had no idea what was going to happen or where he was taking her, but she could feel an unexpected nervous energy emanating from him even when his expression remained mostly unreadable like always.
"Grandpa Lu says that he'll stay at Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei's place until the baby is born," she said, making conversation. "Are you also planning to stay at their place that long?"
"It depends. I have some important business with Third Brother Liwei that we need to deal with together, so it's more convenient if I stay at Dragon Palace. I'll leave when my business with him is over. The old man can stay there however long he wants."
"I see." She didn't ask what kind of business he was working on with Jin Liwei, knowing that he was extremely secretive about his work. Instead, she focused on the last part of what he said and smiled. "Grandpa Lu can't wait for his great-grandchild's arrival. I'm also very excited to meet my niece or nephew soon. I bet that the baby is going to be so adorable. I hope that Little Sister Xiulan becomes healthier so that she can give birth safely."
Lu Zihao made a sound of assent. About fifteen minutes later, he drove them to a restaurant specializing in hearty noodle soups. He reserved a private room for the two of them.
It was still quite early so Long Jinjing didn't feel hungry yet. She ordered something light while Lu Zihao ate most of their meal. They chatted about their day. It was mostly Long Jinjing telling him about what happened at work. She enjoyed this moment very much—just spending time with the man she loved while eating dinner together.
After dinner, they left the restaurant and continued driving. The sun was already setting in the urban horizon.
"Next time, I'm going to cook a special dinner for you," she announced all of a sudden.
He glanced at her. It was subtle but the corners of his mouth curved up. "Hm."
"What would you like to eat? Tell me so that I can prepare in advance."
"Meat."
She chuckled. "Okay."
"You already know what I like to eat."
"That's true." Her smile became brighter. She looked a little proud that she knew what he liked to eat. She had cooked several of their meals during their month-long relationship before. Indeed, he liked eating the food she cooked.
Then he added, "I like what you cook but I like eating you afterwards the most."
She blushed, feeling shy but also pleased at the same time.
The car drive this time lasted for almost an hour. She noticed that they were leaving the city and entering an old, abandoned industrial area. There seemed to be no occupied, residential areas nearby. Most of the buildings were deserted warehouses and dilapidated factories.
She couldn't hold her curiosity any longer and asked, "Where are we going?"
"My work."
Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open in surprise. She knew how secretive he always acted regarding his work. This was one thing that he didn't like her asking him about. A furrow formed between her brows as she began to feel nervous.
Why was he going to show his work to her all of a sudden? She looked at the soulless surroundings. What kind of work was he doing in a place like this? Maybe he was restoring this place and planning to revive it in the future?
Finally, they headed to a huge gated property. She could barely see what was inside from the tall heights of the gates. The gates opened and she gasped upon seeing armed men and women patrolling inside.
"Ni-nikolai...what...."
"You're safe with me, Jinjing," he assured her.
She held on to his arm, not caring if she was interfering with his driving. The car stopped in front of the huge warehouse's entrance. Lu Zihao undid both of their seatbelts and was about to step out of the car but she grabbed him.
"Jinjing, look at me." When she didn't listen and continued darting her nervous eyes everywhere, he forced her to look at him by holding her chin.
"What's going on, Nikolai? Why are there people with g-guns here?" Her heart was hammering inside her chest. "You work h-here?"
"Hm."
"Oh."
"I own this place. And these are my people."
"O-oh."
He rubbed her chin with his thumb. "Do you trust me, Jinjing?"
"Y-yes."
"Can I trust you?"
"Of course!"
He didn't respond right away. Then he whispered, "I hope so. Because what I'm going to show you right now will give you the power to destroy me if you want."
