THE GENIUS WIFE [JENLISA] (2)

CHAPTER 229

Lisa looked at Max in surprise when he read her lips. He did not expect his young wife to have already seen through it. He held Jennie’s hand in satisfaction and suddenly felt quite proud that he married well. Lisa said calmly,“Not bad, this wife I married was a treasure!”

Jennie blushed. She retracted her hand and looked at Lisa, surprised that the devil actually said those words.

“Boss, I didn’t expect that a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg like you, an old straight man, could actually…”

Before Jennie could finish, Lisa stared at her coldly. The aura around him instantly became much colder. The ice devil’s back. He looked at Jennie unhappily and said,“Jennie, who are you calling an old straight man?”

Jennie felt immense pressure and her mind became clear. Her face stopped blushing and her heart stopped racing. She looked at Lisa seriously and told a white lie.

“Actually, I wanted to say husband just now but there were too many people around. I’m sorry that I called you an old straight man.”

Lisa smiled icily. He couldn’t believe that this young girl still wanted to lie to him. He saw it very clearly just now. She had intended to call him an old straight man.

Jennie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Lisa’s icy smile. Could Devil Manoban know that she was lying? Her survival instinct made her smile quickly at him and say fawningly, “Boss, I’m telling the truth. Please don’t misunderstand. How can a handsome man like you be old?”

Lisa looked at Jennie coldly and hid the smugness in his eyes. He nodded arrogantly and forgave Jennie based on her flattering words.

“Fine, I’ll trust you this time.”

When Jennie heard this, she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. Fortunately, she reacted in time or this old straight man would teach her a lesson. She had to be more careful when she spoke next time. Lisa suddenly said, “Oh right, you didn’t finish what you said just now, did you?”

Jennie turned serious when she heard this. How did this old straight man have such a good memory? Couldn’t he just drop something on a happy note?

Why did he have to hear that sentence? Wouldn’t she be courting death by saying it out loud? Jennie quickly changed the topic.

“I’ve forgotten. Hurry up and let’s go see Mr. Max!”

Lisa saw the fine sweat on Jennie’s forehead and let her off for now. She wouldn’t be able to escape anyway. He would question the girl properly when they were home. She’s letting on more than she knew and has a lot of secrets. He said lightly, “Okay, we’ll talk about it when we are home.”

Jennie’s face was filled with helplessness. This devil still held a grudge? She’s already apologized, but he couldn’t move on? Seeing that Lisa was ready to go over to see Mr. Max, Jennie whispered, “Boss, wait, can we tell Mr. Max directly about his illness? His condition could be serious.”

“But, fainting just like that already shows that his condition is worsening.”

Lisa frowned and thought for a moment. Even if Jennie told me now, people might not believe her. It could even attract unnecessary trouble.

He responded calmly, “Let’s not rush. These people won’t believe you. I’ll let you tell him when the right opportunity arises.”

Lisa held Jennie’s hand again as he said this. He felt very proud that his wife was so amazing. If these fools still did not believe her, they should just wait until they were slapped in the face!

When Jennie heard Lisa’s words, she instantly understood. She looked too young. Even if these people listened to her, they would only treat it as a joke.

She felt very safe with Lisa holding her hand and nodded, “Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”

While the two of them were talking, Mr. Max had everyone drink to their heart’s content, letting everyone know that he was fine. The atmosphere became lively again, and when time came for Merlin to showcase her talent, everyone looked towards the stage.
