His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 - Man Of Integrity

Before midnight, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing drove out of Shadow Winds headquarters. He also explained a bit more about the nature of his group. She became quiet when he outright told her that they were criminals. Although she already knew it deep inside after everything she witnessed earlier tonight, it was still quite a shock when he confessed it to her using his own words.

That was when she realized that she had willingly entered a completely new and different world from the regular one that she was used to because of her love for a man. Her mind still felt conflicted because everything Lu Zihao represented clashed against her moral values. Her heart, however, didn’t want to give him up again. She loved him so much that she was determined to make it work with him regardless of their incompatible worlds and moral values.

"Jinjing," he called, snapping her out of her stormy thoughts and feelings.

"Y-yes?"

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye before refocusing his eyes on the road while driving. "I brought you to the headquarters so that the rest of my subordinates know that you’re my woman, someone that nobody should dare to touch or harm. If they dare, they’ll suffer the consequences."

Her heart jumped at the deadly threat in his tone, but she now understood that this was his way of life.

"I also want to warn you that even though they’re my subordinates, you should never fully trust any of them, including Shun or Robin. Humans are fickle creatures who’ll fucking betray each other if given the right motivation."

Long Jinjing knew that his words made total sense but it just pained her to think that he lived like this—not fully trusting others in general. It was such a sad and stressful way to live to be always on the lookout for anyone who might betray him. She couldn’t criticize him, though. In fact, it was a smart survival method. She was actually the naïve one for believing in the good of every person.

It was just that her heart couldn’t help but feel hurt upon realizing that he didn’t fully trust her either. Perhaps he didn’t trust anyone else in the world except for himself. Would she be able to make someone like him fall in love with her, too?

’He has already started opening up to you. He revealed an important part of the real him tonight. This means that he has begun to trust you.’

These thoughts fueled her determination to stick with him and attempt to persuade him that they belonged together despite their obvious incompatibility. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

"I’ll keep your warning in mind," she promised.

He nodded.

"Nikolai?"

"Hm?"

"I think I already know the answer to this question but...I still want to hear it directly from you."

"What is it?"

"Does Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei know that you’re...you know...like this?"

"...yeah."

Silence filled the car as the two of them were occupied with their own respective thoughts.
