My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses - Chapter 153 A MAN OF WORD PART 1
Xue Lin didn't want to lie to him. She said, "I've read mother-in-law's recipe book because grandma said that you liked her cooked pasta. Tomorrow I'll cook pasta in my own style."
"So, that's how it is," Ge Chen smiled slightly. "I'm looking forward to it."
Afterward, they quietly ate. Xue Lin suddenly said, "By the way, I'm thinking about going to school tomorrow."
Ge Chen raised his head to look at her. "Is that necessary? The Principal gave you two months' holiday."
"If I needed holidays, I wouldn't have taken the job."
Just as she said, the next day, she drove to the school. She was welcomed by all the teachers and the staff. She thanked everyone for going to meet her at the hospital. She went to her usual small room and sat on the chair. She felt good coming here after a month. She opened a book and started reading it.
However, before she could turn over a page, her cell phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw Louis' name. She answered the call, "Hello?"
Luis spoke from the other side of the phone. "Sister-in-law, I have heard that you were released from the hospital. How's your leg?"
Xue Lin raised an eyebrow. "Did you call me just for that?"
"I just wanted to know if you were healthy enough to compete against me." When Louis didn't hear a sound from the other side of the phone, he asked, "Don't tell me you forgot about the bet?"
Xue Lin smirked. "How can I forget about that? I'm healthy enough to compete against you. When do you want to start?"
Louis suggested, "Why don't we start tonight?"
"Tonight?" Xue Lin shook her head. "Not going to happen. I will cook for my husband tonight. Let's start tomorrow.
Louis felt empty in his stomach. "What are you trying to show off?"
Xue Lin leaned back and casually said, "Nothing. It's you who chose to be a Casanova. Why are you being so jealous? By the way, do you have a place where we can compete?"
Louis explained, "Yes, we can compete in a host club that's owned by my friend. It is a well-known place and safe for you. So, you don't have to worry about the environment. There, we will pretend to be hosts. You are okay with acting as a male, right?"
Xue Lin confidently replied, "Of course, I am. You don't have to worry about me. Just share the location and give me the time. I'll be there on time."
Louis thought for a moment and then warned her, "I'm already popular and it will be hard for you to get any customer. You understand what will happen if you lose right?"
Xue Lin asked him back, "Do you understand what will happen if you lose? Don't forget your promise."
"I'm a man of my word," Louis said in a serious tone.
"May good luck follow you everywhere," saying that Xue Lin hung up. 'It's too bad that I'm not a woman of my word. I don't have any principle.'
On the way back home, Ge Chen spoke first, "I heard from Louis. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"The place isn't bad, he said. Should I trust him on this?" Before marriage, she always decided on her own based on her judgment. However, since marrying Ge Chen, she started to take his opinion on different matters to show him that he was important to her. She wanted him to understand that she valued his opinion as well as she valued her own opinion.
This way, they will learn to respect each other – that's what she believes.
Ge Chen replied, "I can guarantee that the host club he mentioned is a well-secured place. You won't have a difficult time there. The hosts are friendly toward the fellow hosts. Even though you are a newbie, you won't have to face any jealousy or bullying."
Xue Lin gave him a side glance. "Why do I feel like you know that place very well? Were you a host before you became a bodyguard?"
Ge Chen tried to tell her, "No, that's not it." He couldn't understand how the conversation turned out like that.
Xue Lin suddenly parked the car with great difficulty. She looked at Ge Chen in astonishment. "Don't tell me you went there as a customer!" Before he could open his mouth, she softly whispered, "My husband, is there something you are not telling me?"
Ge Chen took her hand and said, "My wife, I have only eyes for you."
Xue Lin didn't believe him in the slightest. "Your pick up line makes me think that you are interested in boys. Could it be you are interested in both boys and girls?"
Ge Chen took a deep breath and looked deeply at Xue Lin's eyes. He calmly asked, "My wife, do I look like I'm a homosexual?"
Xue Lin frowned. "You look like yourself. Do homosexual people have a trademark face that anyone can tell just by looking? I don't think so."
Ge Chen's grip tightened on her wrist and he said with a serious look, "I swear upon my name that I have only eyes and heart for you and you only."
"The more you say those cheesy lines, the more I suspect that something fishy is going on." She did not believe him at all.
Ge Chen asked, "Tell me then, what will make you believe that I'm not into others and only into you?"
An idea popped into Xue Lin's mind. She grinned ear to ear and asked, "Are you sure that you can handle it?"
"I'll do anything." Ge Chen had confidence in himself, although seeing her smiling like that he started to have a bad feeling.
That night, Ge Chen tested the most delicious Italian pasta in his life. However, he had a feeling that the next day wouldn't be as good as today.
And, his gut feelings were never wrong.
