His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 756 - Beyond Death And Through Eternity

"She’s not your wife yet," Lu Zihao interjected in an eerily calm voice yet still managed to sound threatening.

"Xiulan and I may not be married under the law yet, but we’ve been living like a pair of husband and wife since we became officially engaged. No, even before that." Then Jin Liwei scowled. "And why the hell do I need to explain my relationship with my woman with you? You may be one of my best friends, one of my closest brothers, but don’t go too far!"

"I’ll go as far as I want. She’s my sister. Her business is my business. Deal with it."

Jin Liwei couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Did Lu Zihao really say that? And he, Jin Liwei, had to deal with it? What the hell?! He had to make sure that he heard it correctly. "Are you serious?"

Lu Zihao’s face remained impassive. "Do I look like I’m joking?"

"Fifth Brother—no. Lu Zihao, I can’t believe you."

"You better believe it."

Jin Liwei’s jaws tightened, causing his voice to become gruff. "If I didn’t know for sure that the odd bond you have with my woman is strictly like that of a brother and sister, I would’ve already fallen out with you and destroyed three decades worth of brotherhood between us. Our brothers and I already found your closeness with Xiulan very weird since the beginning. And to be honest, that story about the two of you developing such a tight sibling bond because you were online game buddies in the past sounds like total bullshit. Why? Because you never mentioned anything about her to us. But even with our doubts, we had no choice but accept because the truth is right in front of us. We can see with our own eyes that you and Xiulan genuinely care for each other like brother and sister. It’s not something that can be faked.

"All of us already long accepted your odd relationship. Perhaps the fact that the two of you shared nearly identical experiences of almost dying, falling into coma, and your personalities changing afterwards have made us more understanding despite all the questions in our heads. I have to admit, though, that it took quite some time for me to become completely fine with it."

Lu Zihao crossed his big, muscled arms over his chest and leaned back on the wall. His posture looked deceptively relaxed, but the concentrated gaze he had on Jin Liwei was like that of a top hunter. He remained silent while continuing to listen. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

As for Jin Liwei, he had already somewhat gotten used to Lu Zihao’s intensity. The other man’s aura didn’t seem as overwhelming as before. Although Jin Liwei had never encountered such strong bloodlust before, he was still an elite businessman at the top of his game who frequently rubbed shoulders with the most powerful people in the world. He wasn’t someone who was easily intimidated. On the contrary, most normal people were the ones intimidated by him. Adapting to all kinds of situations was a trait he had to learn early on as a young businessman.

Feeling more confident now, he straightened his spine and continued talking while looking at Lu Zihao straight in the eyes. "Your closeness with my wife has now become normal to me and to everyone around us. But there are times, like right now, that you’re acting too intrusive with my relationship with Xiulan, as if you have the right to meddle in our private affairs. Honestly, it’s starting to feel really uncomfortable."

"Does Little Sister also think the same way as you do?" Lu Zihao asked.

Jin Liwei gritted his teeth because he couldn’t answer right away.

A faint demonic smirk finally made a change on Lu Zihao’s emotionless face. "I thought so."

"Xiulan doesn’t dare openly defy you," Jin Liwei growled through his gritted teeth. "I don’t like that she’s too worried about what you think to the point that she sometimes feels afraid of you. Why is that, Fifth—Lu Zihao? What kind of tight hold do you have on my wife?"

"Do you want to know the truth?" Lu Zihao drawled.

"Of course I want to know the truth. That’s why we’re having this conversation."

"Heh~" Lu Zihao’s smirk widened as he gave Jin Liwei a mysterious look filled with unknown meaning. "Unfortunately, Third Brother, I don’t think you’ll be able to handle the truth—the real secret between my sister and I."

His words caused Jin Liwei to scowl so hard that his nostrils started flaring. "What do you mean by that? Tell me!" he demanded with barely controlled fury and suspicion.

"Ah, like I just told you, Third Brother, the truth is too much for you to handle. It’s the kind that binds my sister and I beyond death and through eternity."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Jin Liwei’s entire body was trembling with fury because Lu Zihao’s words were too easily misunderstood.

Bound beyond death and through eternity? What kind of bullshit words were those? Weren’t those words used to describe lovers instead of siblings?

Lu Zihao gestured a hand at Jin Liwei’s agitated state. "See? I haven’t even told the truth yet and you’re already like that. As I thought, you won’t be able to handle it if you learn about the truth between my sister and I."
