The Wife is a Superstar 1

Chapter 31: Pursuit of Knowledge

"How to know if you're feeling horny," Lisa read aloud in English. His accent sounded a bit American. "Number 1: You fantasize about the person you're into."

He glanced down at Jennie. "Do you fantasize about me?" he asked.

"No."

Displeased by her quick answer, he scowled. However, he continued reading aloud. Most of the points were very general. Lisa thought that these should be considered as common sense, so why did the girl look so confused earlier?

"Number 7...uh..." He coughed. "Uhm."

Jennie read it aloud herself. "Number 7: Your vagina is tingling."

Lisa's eyebrows rose in surprise. This girl was becoming more and more mysterious. She actually spoke English with a British accent.

The investigation results he ordered about her reported that she only spoke passable English with the usual accent. Her English marks at school were also too tragic to even look at.

So what happened? Was she just acting then?

It was at this moment that her assistant returned. "Boss, lunch will be ready shortly."

"Jae, you're right on time. How does one know when one's vagina is tingling? Do you know how it feels?"

"Ah? Boss, how would I know? I don't have a vagina. Do you want me to ask Grandma Mei or some of the married maids?"

"Yes."

"Right away, boss!"

"Wait! What are you two doing?" Lisa couldn't believe them. "Aren't you embarrassed?"

Jennie looked at him like he was an idiot. "Why should I feel embarrassed in the pursuit of knowledge? Wise people don't pretend to know everything. When they don't know something, they aren't embarrassed to ask questions."

Lisa almost choked hearing her answer.

This was pursuit of knowledge?

His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.

"Pft! Bahahaha!" Jae couldn't stop himself. He doubled over, laughing loudly while holding his abdomen.

Lisa glared at him.

Jae tried so hard to stop his laughter. He could feel Lisa's murderous intent directed at him. But it was just too funny! The famed Lisa Manoban didn't know how to deal with his boss' straightforwardness. As expected of his boss!

Even Jae himself was surprised by his boss' brutal honesty when he started working for her. But now he was used to it and even became influenced by her. For him, this was normal now.

She ignored them and continued to read the last point aloud perfectly in English. "Number 8: Your vagina becomes wet...huh?"

Maybe she really felt horny when Lisa kissed her earlier? She wondered, feeling the slight dampness between her thighs.

"Hm? What's wrong? Are you wet? Did I make you wet?" he teased, his voice husky.

"Yes," she admitted as she continued to read the article in silence. She didn't find anything wrong in being honest with him. She had no idea that her honesty would affect him so much.

He inhaled sharply, his eyes darkening. His breath quickened. He leaned down close to her ear and whispered, "Be careful with your words, Ruby Jane. You might unknowingly release a beast that you can't control."

"What are you talking about?" She turned her head to him. Seeing the intense expression on his face, she instinctively moved her torso away from him.

He was tempted to kiss her senseless again.

"Young Miss, Mr. Manoban. Lunch is ready. Please follow me." Mei, now recovered from her earlier shock, called them as she returned from the kitchen.

Lisa straightened up. His face regained its usual cold expression, but his eyes couldn't disguise the lust he was feeling.

Jennie released a breath of relief. "Mei, please get the first aid kit and treat Mr. Manoban's lip first."

"Yes, Young Miss. Please wait."

Moments later, Mei returned with the first aid kit.

Lisa turned to Jennie. "You treat me."

She gave him a side eye. "I don't know how. Mei, go ahead."

"Mr. Manoban, please stay still." Mei looked like a butcher about to slaughter a mighty bull for premium beef.

Jae snickered. Lisa shot him a deadly look. Jae immediately shut up, but Jennie glared at Lisa instead.

Jae was her assistant. What was the damn arrogant man glaring at her assistant for?

Mei opened the first aid kit, used sanitizer to clean her hands before disinfecting and treating Lisa's wound.

He stiffened at the stinging pain, but otherwise stayed unmoving; his face a mask of cold indifference.
