His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Despite her embarrassment, Long Jinjing felt lighter and more comfortable after Lu Zihao's encouraging words which sounded sweet to her ears. That was when she noticed that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist. He just came out of the shower after all.

Her earlier distraught emotions had been too overwhelming that she somehow overlooked his half-n.a.k.e.dness. This was the first time that his half-nude body failed to seduce her and reduce her IQ to amoeba level. It felt like an achievement. She should be proud.

"Uhm…can you help me out of this blanket, please?"

He smirked. "I like you wrapped up like that."

She pouted. He dove again for another kiss, a quick peck this time.

"Jinjing, don't mind those women in my past. They're nothing but flings."

"How can you be sure? Didn't you say that you can't remember them?"

He shrugged. "I just feel that they're not important to me."

"But I'm also like a fling, aren't I? A one-night fling that got extended to a 30-day fling."

The vicious expression returned to his face. His arm tightened around her blanket-wrapped body. "Let's make something clear here, Jinjing."

She waited for him to say more. [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.

"You haven't been taking our relationship seriously?" he asked through gritted teeth and a dangerous glint in his eyes. "I'm the only one who feels serious about this?"

"I…." She turned her head away, unable to withstand the pressure of his heavy gaze. "I thought we were only pretending. I only wanted the respect that comes with the title of your official girlfriend so I won't feel…humiliated for being…just one of your bedmates among many."

"F.u.c.k, Jinjing!"

"Isn't that what you originally wanted? To…to…f-f.u.c.k me only. If I didn't suggest this…agreement, you wouldn't have even thought of it, much less consider having a relationship with me. To be honest, I never expected you to be…serious. All I wanted is respect as your girlfriend, even if it's only pretend."

He let her go which made her sad, especially since she couldn't even move due to the blanket still wrapped around her. Then his movements caught her attention. She watched him as he paced back and forth in the spacious bedroom. He rubbed his face with his hands and rumpled his damp hair.

Then he stopped and glared at her. "Dammit, Jinjing!" He returned in front of her. "I already told you that the moment I agreed to your terms and entered this 30-day relationship with you that I'm serious. There's no way that I'll waste my f.u.c.k.i.n.g time in a pretend relationship with anyone. What we have now is only temporary but dammit, it's real!"

Long Jinjing felt a little guilty but what she told him was the truth. At the same time, she felt so good hearing him say that he indeed treated their relationship seriously even though it was only temporary.

"I'm sorry—"

"Don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g say sorry!"

She shut her mouth.

He ran his fingers through his damp, rumpled hair and released another frustrated breath. "You really want to break up with me?"

Her eyes widened and she felt a little panicked. "No! I…I mean…I was considering it but now…I don't want to b-break up with you anymore."

"Good."

She released a tiny sigh of relief.

"I don't want to hear you saying that you want to break up with me again before our 30-day agreement ends. Understand?"

She nodded.

"And you better start treating me like your real f.u.c.k.i.n.g boyfriend from now on."

"Y-yes…."

"Good. Now let's f.u.c.k, Jinjing."

He grabbed her and kissed her senseless once again. The towel wrapped around his waist fell down to the floor. Although the blanket acted as a barrier between their skins, she could still feel his erection pressing against her stomach.

Then she felt something warm trickling down between her legs. She frowned and turned her face away from his kiss. He tried to catch her lips again.

"Wait…"

He continued kissing her.

"Nikolai…"

He sucked on her lips.

"Stop!"

He stopped and glared at her. "What now?"

"I…I think I have my period." Her face turned red.

He blinked. "Seriously?"

"I…I need to check first." Ah, this was so embarrassing! "Uhm, Nikolai…can you help me out of this blanket, please?"

"Fine."

He helped her out of the blanket. As soon she was freed, she immediately ran to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. There was no way that she was going to let him see her checking herself down there. She took a look and saw that she was indeed bleeding.

After washing herself, she realized a problem. She didn't bring underwear or sanitary pads with her to the bathroom. Asking Lu Zihao to get them for her felt too embarrassing.

Knock knock!

Her heart jumped. Was he getting impatient?

"Miss Jinjing, it's me," a familiar female voice said.

"Robin!" She covered herself with a robe and opened the door.

"Here, Miss."

Robin handed her some feminine necessities and a change of clothes. Long Jinjing recognized the items as the ones Robin helped her pack in her luggage for her stay here at Lu Zihao's penthouse.

"Thank you, Robin."

"No problem, Miss. Boss Hao called me about your situation and instructed me to take care of you—"

"No need to tell her that," Lu Zihao's voice said coming from the direction of the main area of the bedroom.

"Apologies, Boss."

"Uhm...still, thank you, Robin." Long Jinjing smiled at the other woman. "I'm okay now. Please rest."

"Good night, Miss Jinjing," Robin said with a smile before bowing at the direction of Lu Zihao and leaving the bedroom.

Long Jinjing closed the door to clean herself again and to use the items Robin delivered to her. She didn't bother restraining her smile while thinking of Lu Zihao's thoughtfulness.

When she returned to the bedroom, Lu Zihao was standing n.a.k.e.d in front of the glass windows with his back facing her. His firm buttocks and gloriously muscled body made her swallow the saliva pooling inside her mouth.

"No s.e.x tonight?" he asked, still not facing her.

"N-no."

He sighed. "Fine. We'll just sleep tonight then."
