His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Long Jinjing's mind went blank but she recovered rather quickly this time. There was no way Lu Zihao would say that to her. She was sure that she had either misheard him or her current pitiful amoeba-level brain was playing tricks on her. Yes, that should be it.

She gave him a sheepish smile. "Excuse me? Sorry but could you repeat that, Mr. Lu? I didn't hear you clearly."

"I said I want you," Lu Zihao told her.

This time, she was truly dumbfounded. "W-what?"

He took a step forward into the light of the kitchen, leaving the shadows of the dark living room. "I want to sleep with you."

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was he really saying this to her?

"I want to have sex with you tonight, Long Jinjing," he said in his low, masculine voice that seemed to spellbind her.

Her brain went whoosh! All she could do at the moment was gawk at him with eyes and mouth wide open, even as her heart started pumping so hard and so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

"If you say yes, we'll have sex tonight. No strings attached. Just pure pleasure."

His words managed to register in her mind and woke her up from her daze. Sense returned to her and she grew serious after hearing what he said. 

"So you want to have a…one-night stand with me?" she asked.

"Yes, Long Jinjing."

She inhaled sharply. Her logical mind immediately protested against the idea, but something else awakened inside her and filled her with thrill and excitement at the possibility. It made her stomach tighten and her breathing quicken. 

"I want you to say yes but I'm not going to force you," he told her. "I'm not that desperate. We're both adults here and I'm simply laying down my proposition to you. If you say no, we'll both forget about this matter and go on with our own lives. I'll return to the guest bedroom and leave first thing in the morning. I'll never bother you again. You don't have to worry about that."

She swallowed. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces). If you're not reading this chapter on W e b n o v e l, it has been stolen.

"Yes or no, Long Jinjing. The decision is yours."

The right and proper thing to do was to reject him outright. How dare this man suggest a one-night stand when she so kindly offered him a shelter to stay during a storm and in her own home to boot? Besides, she wasn't that kind of woman. At least, she didn't think she was.

There were so many reasons that she could enumerate as to why this was a bad idea. The worst. This was so against her personal values. And yet why had she not rejected him yet?

Call her crazy but she was seriously considering his offer. Shame filled her but it was quickly overpowered by thrill and excitement. 

She had always been a good girl and strove to be a proper, respectable lady. Although her father never deprived her of financial support, she and her mother had always lived with the stigma of being Long Tengfei's illegitimate child and former mistress respectively. This was one of the reasons why Long Jinjing never did anything that might disgrace herself and her mother.

Teenage rebellion was out of question. She never tried smoking. Ever. Never considered getting piercings on her body other than on her ears. She never tried drinking alcohol until she reached legal age. And even when so many boys confessed to her during high school, she never had a boyfriend until she was in university. Her boyfriend dumped her because she always said no whenever he asked her to have sex with him. 

A one-night stand was something other more liberated people did. To Long Jinjing, doing it herself was unthinkable.

If another person propositioned to her, she would most definitely reject him and even feel offended. But the one who was asking her for a one-night stand wasn't any other person. It was none other than Mr. Yummylicious—cough cough—stay out of her mind, Dom and Meimei!

Ahem. Take two! 

The one who was asking her for a one-night stand was the enigmatic Mr. Lu Zihao who had the most sinful smile and tone of voice that Dom and Meimei described as orgasmic. He also had the most gorgeous scarred face and huge body that she had ever seen in a man before. 

Although his entire being screamed danger at her and in turn eliminated him from her mental list of potential, eligible men she wanted to date and maybe even marry someday, she still had to admit that she was drawn to him. If truth be told, she actually had a small, secret crush on him. 

In fact, most of her friends in the girl squad except for her younger sister Xiulan and Jiang Ying Yue had a crush on Lu Zihao. Dom and Memei and even Clover before the girl flew to France never hid their "innocent" crushes on him. They openly admired him and gossiped about him all the time. As for Chen Fei, Lu Zihao was not her type at all and only teased Long Jinjing a bit because her best friend already long noticed her attraction to the man even when she herself constantly denied it.

This attraction was probably what was making Long Jinjing seriously consider Lu Zihao's proposition even when she knew how crazy it was. She had been a good girl all her life. How would it feel to just let go for once and be wild and free for a night? She would have sex with her secret crush and experience a wild night of pleasure. It was so tempting.

One night. 

Just one night only.

She could experience something so sinful and enjoy herself with abandon having sex with one of the most attractive men she had ever met.

Then tomorrow, she would return to her safe and steady life.

"I guess this means no," Lu Zihao said after she failed to give her answer for a long time. "I won't bother you anymore, then. Good night."

He turned around and began to walk away.
