His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460 - The Return Of Lu Zihao Part II

For a moment, Iris thought that she was seeing the image of Nikolai Vetrov instead of Lu Zihao. His dangerous aura could no longer be concealed. It had become even more apparent with his physical changes. Despite this, Iris knew that her brother was still holding back the full extent of his dangerous aura, masking it beneath the original Lu Zihao’s happy-go-lucky attitude.

The Nikolai Vetrov that she remembered was absolutely frightening. It was only to her that he showed genuine gentleness. To other people, he was merciless. He never showed any gentleness to others besides her, even to their parents. He treated them with politeness and respect, yes, but never with gentleness. That was only reserved for her, his one and only sister.

Noticing that his sister was staring at the scar on his face, Lu Zihao assured her, "This is nothing. It didn’t hurt when I got it."

"Liar," she whispered.

He only flashed her a demonic smile and shrugged his wide, muscular shoulders.

Iris reached up and traced the long scar on his face with her finger. He didn’t move, allowing her to touch it. She didn’t stop when her finger reached the end of the scar. She continued running her finger down his neck and hooked it on the top of his turtleneck shirt. Then she pulled the fabric down, revealing another scar on his neck. It looked like a blade injury, as if someone wanted to chop his neck off.

Her hands moved fast, yanking his shirt up to reveal his bare abdomen and chest. They were covered with countless scars. There were even a couple of scars which looked suspiciously like he got them from bullet wounds. There was also an ugly, jagged one on his abdomen which still had stitches that hadn’t been removed yet.

She gasped seeing all of them.

Lu Zihao firmly grabbed her hands and pulled them away. His shirt fell back down, once again hiding the scars on his body. Although his demonic smile remained on his mouth, his eyes were cold and hard, silently warning her.

Iris shivered...

Huh? Actually, she didn’t. She thought she was going to shiver because she always did whenever her big brother gave her that scary warning look. She knew he meant her no harm, but it was just her instinct reacting to his dangerous aura. Now, however, she didn’t react like how she expected.

Unbeknownst to her, this was a result of the fusion between her and the remnant. It dulled any trauma she might still have from her past life, making it so that she wouldn’t start freaking out like before. The fusion was actually the real reason why she was becoming more open about accepting bodyguards. She still felt uncomfortable and suffocated being surrounded by them, but these negative feelings weren’t as intense as before. Her sense of panic regarding bodyguards was gone now, replaced by a simple feeling of dislike instead.

Lu Zihao didn’t notice that his sister’s mind had drifted away. He held her hand and began to lead her up the stone steps to the mansion.

A few of his people followed behind them while the others formed groups and started to patrol the entire property. Jin Liwei’s own security people appeared to have been informed in advance and even acted as guides to Lu Zihao’s subordinates.

Iris didn’t notice all of these because she was still trying to figure out why she didn’t react as expected.

’Maybe I’ve grown up?’ was what she concluded in the end.

Her drifting mind returned to the present when they entered the mansion.
