The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1087 Mr - Moneybags

"It's me, Ruby Jane's husband," Lisa said in English, his tone dark.

Amanpio Kileksky immediately stopped laughing and didn't speak for almost ten seconds. "Lisa! Why are you calling me using Ruby Jane's number? Tsk. I shouldn't have answered this call if I knew that it's you. You were the one who kept on calling me just now, right? Hmph. I have no interest in chatting with other men."

Lisa's expression became darker. He repeated, "I'm Ruby Jane's husband," to emphasize it to the overly flirty inventor.

"I know that already. Geez! I attended your wedding, remember? So why did you call me, Lisa? I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to spare talking to other people, especially you. Well, except for Ruby and our other female schoolmates. I always have time to chat with the ladies. Hahaha!"

Lisa fought the urge to fly to the Swiss Alps at Cross Academy so that he could beat up the annoying man. Although he knew that Amanpio Kileksky meant no actual harm and was actually a good friend to his wife, the inventor still pissed him off sometimes. Like right now. Perhaps he just couldn't forget the initial bad impression he had of the man. Amanpio insulted him at Cross Academy about a year ago which resulted to his wife kicking the outspoken inventor to the ground.

Despite his violent impulse to teach the other man a lesson, Lisa restrained his temper and forced himself to maintain a calm composure while talking to Amanpio. After all, he was the one who needed the inventor's help.

Lisa only wanted the best for his request. As a Cross Academy student, Amanpio Kileksky was definitely one of the best because he was a certified genius like Jennie. Besides, he wasn't asking anything from Amanpio for himself but for his wife instead. Lisa was ready to do anything for his wife, so he didn't mind putting up with the flirty inventor's sometimes insolent behaviour.

"I called you because...."

He told Amanpio his request. Once the inventor learned that it was for Jennie, he finally stopped being difficult.

"Why does Ruby need something like this?" Amanpio asked.

"Because she's pregnant," Lisa answered in a calm voice but his mouth was already curving up.

"WHAT?!!! Ruby's pregnant already?! So fast?! But you just married! Lisa, you beast!!! You must have already knocked her up before the wedding!!!"

Lisa was now grinning. He didn't mind the man's angry shouts at him at all. Instead he asked, "Do you accept my request?"

"Hmph! Of course, I accept! You annoy me so much—"

"The feeling's mutual," Lisa said in a good mood as he interrupted the inventor's sentence.

Amanpio snorted.

Lisa could imagine the man rolling his eyes which put him in an even better mood. Perhaps it was childish, but he felt good getting on the inventor's nerves especially since Amanpio always flirted with Jennie every chance he got.

"Whatever. You're still Ruby's husband even though you're so annoying. She loves you so much that I want to vomit whenever she gushes about you. Blergh! Disgusting!"

Lisa couldn't help it. He laughed, feeling delighted.

"Hmph! Wait till Ruby gets tired of you. See if you can still laugh like that when she leaves you."

"That's never going to happen." Lisa stopped laughing and became serious again in an instant. "My wife will never leave me. Over my dead body."

"Tsk. See? This is what I mean when I say that I want to vomit. Ugh. Whatever. I don't want to waste any more of my precious time talking with a beast like you, so let's focus on your request. I'm not going to do it for you but for Ruby and her baby."

"Alright. How soon can you make them?"

"This is a very easy task. Actually, you can already buy this kind of material from specialty stores. It's not rare."

"I know. But I can't be sure how effective they are until I have them tested. I don't want to waste time testing various products to see which ones are the most effective and safe for my wife to use. I need something that I'm 100% confident to be effective or close to it. And I know that you can guarantee this. It's for my pregnant wife after all. I want nothing less than the best."

"Damn right! I'm the best! Hahahaha! Lisa, I'm finding that you're not so bad after all! Fine. Since you asked me so sincerely, I'll definitely start working on it right away and complete it within the week."

Lisa's eyebrows rose. "Are you sure that you can complete it in a week?"

"Of course! There's nothing that I, Amanpio Kileksky, cannot do as long as I set my mind to it! Well, except for getting a date with Ruby. I was too late, dammit! If only I met her first! That's why I don't like you, Lisa."

"Likewise," Lisa said with a soft huff.

The flirty inventor was starting to piss him off again. Thank goodness that he found his wife and claimed her as his lover before she had the chance to meet any of her male schoolmates at Cross Academy. They were all geniuses of the most superior kind.

Lisa himself had high IQ. Most of the common people even called him a genius before. However, he knew right from the start that he wasn't a genius. True geniuses were people like his late grandfather, Grandpa, his amazing wife (of course), and all students and alumni of Cross Academy.

He was uncertain if his wife would fall for a fellow genius like her if she hadn't met him first. Frowning, he forced the thought out of his mind. His wife belonged to him and he belonged to her. They belonged together. Fated. Screw the what-ifs!

"How much?" Lisa asked, bringing them back to the topic of his request.

"Now we're talking! This is the only thing I like about you, Lisa. You don't haggle and shamelessly try to lower the price like Ruby. That woman is such a miser at the negotiation table! You, on the other hand, are Mr. Moneybags! Show me the money and I'll fulfill this request of yours in no time. Hahaha!"
