His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1198

Chapter 1198 - Live A Life Of Integrity

Almost everyone noticed Long Jinjing’s distracted state during the pre-dinner gathering. They asked her about it but she told them that it was just a case of exhaustion.

"Do you want to apply for vacation?" Iris asked.

Long Jinjing declined the offer. "I’m fine, little sister. I love my work at Orchidia Beauty. The company is also only a few months old. There’s no need for me to take a vacation so soon. The regular days off and holiday breaks are already more than enough."

Iris studied her for a few seconds before nodding. "If you’re really okay, then that’s fine. Just don’t overwork yourself and end up abusing your body. Trust me, Big Sister. It’s very unpleasant to be ill."

"I know. Thank you, little sister."

Seeing Long Jinjing’s obvious lack of energy, nobody forced her to participate in the lively chat. Even Grandpa Lu who invited her in the first place urged her to rest instead.

She smiled at the old man. "Don’t worry, Grandpa Lu. I’m really fine. I’ll rest after dinner."

Grandpa Lu narrowed his old but sharp eyes at her. Fortunately, even though he looked like he doubted her words, he didn’t insist on extracting the truth from her.

Everyone left her alone. She was relieved and thankful. Now she had more time to reflect on her current situation.

Dinnertime arrived. It was yet another cheerful affair especially with the Chuas around. Laughter filled the dining area. Even Long Jinjing was able to temporarily forget about her worries to join in some of the conversations. That was until Lu Zihao arrived.

He and Jin Liwei both ran late. Dinner had already started before the two men arrived. Both of them headed straight to their own women and joined dinner without much fuss.

Lu Zihao sat beside Long Jinjing, kissing her in front of everyone without any shame. Jin Liwei was the same with his wife, Iris. Unlike Iris, however, Long Jinjing immediately turned red and couldn’t look at everyone due to her shyness.

The others only gave the two pairs some teasing looks and remarks but didn’t dwell too much about the lovey-dovey actions. Everyone was already used to being force-fed dogfood every day after all, especially by the shameless couple, Jin Liwei and Iris. The husband and wife had already been caught making out so many times than these people could count.

Good thing that the mansion was so big. It was easy for people to avoid the over-affectionate couple if one wasn’t in the mood of eating dog food. Well, except if they gathered for meals like this.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Zihao asked in a whisper.

"W-what do you mean? Nothing. I’m...f-fine." Long Jinjing was so nervous that her hands were trembling.

Lu Zihao’s presence beside her was making her nerves go haywire. She almost couldn’t swallow her food anymore.

He frowned. "We’ll talk later."

She nodded. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Dinner ended. Long Jinjing was so glad that she was able to survive it without drawing too much attention to herself. She and Lu Zihao didn’t join the others for the after-dinner tea and headed straight to their bedroom instead.

"Now tell me what’s wrong," Lu Zihao said as soon as they entered the room.
