His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1160 - Suspicious

Chapter 1160 - Suspicious

Inside the car, Long Jinjing began feeling nervous at Robin’s silence. Although the female assassin didn’t look angry at her, she could still feel some tension in the air.

"Uhm, Robin....?"

"Miss Jinjing, I apologize for pulling you like that earlier." Robin quickly turned her head to look at her in the backseat and gave her an apologetic smile. "Did I hurt you?"

"N-no! It’s fine. I didn’t mind it at all. And no, I’m not hurt. Actually, thank you for appearing that time. That foreigner...uhm, he kept on talking to me and it made me a little...uncomfortable."

Robin’s eyes narrowed and something dangerous flashed in them. "Did he hit on you, Miss?"

"Uh, n-no...I don’t think so." Then she remembered the foreigner calling her a beautiful lady.

"Are you sure, Miss?"

She hesitated but still decided to be truthful. "He called me beautiful a couple of times but I think that he’s just...complimenting me and not, you know, uhm, hitting on me."

Robin sighed. "Miss Jinjing, I know that it’s not my place to tell you what to do but I advise you to be careful when interacting with other men who look like they might have ulterior motives for getting close to you. Boss Hao ordered Shun and me not to let other men sniff around you. We don’t dare disobey him. Please understand."

"Okay, Robin. Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Zihao and tell him not to be jealous of every male around me. Also, it’s not like I’m going to cheat on him with another man." Then she muttered, "He should have more trust in me."

She pouted and sighed while looking at the urban view they were passing by outside her window. Her mind was filled entirely with thoughts of Lu Zihao. The encounter with the foreign man at the menswear boutique was already pushed to the back of her mind. However, Robin brought the man up again.

"Miss Jinjing, don’t you recognize the foreigner?"

"Huh? Do I know him?" Long Jinjing frowned and thought about it but came up blank. "He said that his name is René Alejandro but I don’t know anyone...hm? Wait, his name sounds familiar. Where did I hear about it before?"

"He’s Madam Wei Lan’s Spanish stepson."

"Oh." Long Jinjing’s eyes widened in realization. "Yes, I remember the name now! But I didn’t know what he looks like until now. How did you know?"

"It’s part of my job to know these things, Miss. Boss Hao insists on it."

"Oh, I see." She was silent while pondering about the matter. "Robin, do you think that René Alejandro knew who I was?"

"It’s possible, Miss Jinjing, but we can’t also rule out the possibility that he doesn’t know about you. After all, it’s Miss Xiulan who’s the daughter of his stepmother and not you."

"That’s true."

"But of course, it’s better to be cautious regardless of the possibilities. We don’t know much about that Spaniard except for his public information."

Long Jinjing nodded. After learning about Shadow Winds and the criminal nature of their business, she told herself to be extra careful of everything. She didn’t want to betray Lu Zihao and his people even by accident. He loved him too much to do that.

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Robin."

"Don’t mention it, Miss."

The drive to her home was relaxing after their conversation. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"What happened, brother? Your face has the expression whenever you find a new chick that you want to fuck."

René Alejandro chuckled after hearing his brother’s comment. He was sitting in the front passenger seat while one of his brothers was driving the sports car. They were now headed home to the new mansion.

"Not quite accurate but close. Guess who I met today."

"Who? Didn’t you have an appointment with a few local rich kids who you met at your stepmom’s charity dinner?"

René Alejandro sneered. "I’m not talking about those spoiled brats. They’re around the same age as us but they have the mentality of toddlers. It’s already a challenge for me to endure their shallow company. It’ll be an insult to my intelligence if I keep on talking about them even in private, no?"

"Then who are you talking about?"

"Long Jinjing."

"Who? Oh, you mean Iris’ half-sister? The CFO of her company, Orchidia Beauty?"

"Yes." René Alejandro shared how he encountered the woman at the menswear boutique. "I immediately recognized her so I followed her. She’s not bad. Not drop-dead gorgeous like Iris but she has her own charm. Haha. She’s like a skittish mouse in front of me. Cute, no?"

His brother raised an eyebrow before whistling. "You want to fuck her?"

He sighed. "That would be nice but she has a boyfriend. Tsk tsk."

"But that never stopped you before."

"Haha! True. But you know that I can’t mess around this time. I need to worm my way inside Liam and Iris’ inner circles. Jinjing belongs to one of those inner circles so I can’t play around with her even if I wanted to. It’s a different story if she approaches me first though. That would be interesting, yes? Hahaha."

"Just smile at her. Women will immediately spread their legs for you once you show them your dimples."

"Haha. We’ll see."

"By the way, who’s her boyfriend?"

"I think it’s still Hunter. One of his female subordinates that we identified in our files pulled Jinjing away from me, looking like a Mama Bear protecting her cub. If I remember correctly, she should be the one called Robin."

"Oh? She’s still dating that scarred bodybuilder? But our reports said that they should’ve already broken up because they hadn’t met for a while."

René Alejandro shrugged. "Getting back together with an ex is possible, no?"

"True. But brother, that Hunter guy and his subordinates are suspicious. We can’t dig anything more about him. And his background history is also weird like Iris. Both of them had drastic change in their personalities after waking up from coma. It’s like the two of them turned into completely different people."

René Alejandro drummed his fingers on his knees while thinking. "I’ll find out what caused their personality change once I get close to them. Hunter is a target as well because he’s the grandson of Lu Jianhong."

"Good luck, brother. He looks like a tougher nut to crack than Liam."
