My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

"Does that even work?!" Xue Lin was stunned. She didn’t know much about modern technology and the new invention of medical science.

Ge Chen smirked and vaguely answered, "Who knows? Anyway, you cannot have any animal’s eyes. Their eyes shine at night and your shine only when you are extremely angry. This is unusual and you know what – it became one of my favorite things about you." His calm look and dignified aura became more majestic under the moon.

Xue Lin blushed. She averted her gaze quickly. With her free hand, she scratched the back on her head and said, "Let’s head back. Aren’t you looking for a job?"

Ge Chen paused before answering, "I am and I think this is a perfect place for you to look for a job."

"I’ll start looking for a job from tomorrow." Xue Lin agreed and hand in hand they went back to their bedroom. That night, though she tried to sleep, she couldn’t. She recalled the time she was pushed against the wall and she shivered. She faced Ge Chen and stayed guarded till dawn.

"This is a sunny day." Xue Lin walked and looked around the city. It had been a week since she came to B City. She got along with everyone in the house. The servants were very few in number and yet, she couldn’t memorize all their names properly. Thus, she gave everyone nicknames based on their look and work.

Xue Lin went to the place where Ge Chen told her to go and she found herself in front of a huge office. She took out a small paper from her pocket and recited what was written. Then, she headed inside. The guard saluted her as she entered and the receptionist smiled professionally. She asked, "Good morning, miss. How can I help you?"

Xue Lin became nervous and said, "...I want to meet Louis Cruise." She was reciting the name since she walked out of the house this morning.

The receptionist was surprised and the employees beside her also gave her a dubious look. The receptionist held a smile and asked, "Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Xue Lin replied with a straight face, "No, but if you tell him my name, he will meet me."

The receptionist politely said, "Miss, if you don’t have an appointment, please leave. Many women like you come here and give us the same excuse."

Xue Lin was puzzled. "Huh? Did it sound like an excuse? If you have time to tell me please, why don’t you just call him and find out what I said was true or wrong?"

"Our President is a busy person who doesn’t have time for people like you." The employees around them also looked at her with disgust.

"What do you mean by ’people like me’?" Xue Lin doesn’t recall behaving like a weird person. She also followed the procedure and politely asked the receptionist. On her part, she didn’t do anything wrong. She couldn’t understand the reason behind the receptionist’s unreasonable behavior.

The receptionist lost her patience and said curtly, "Miss, please leave or I’ll have the guards take you away." Her voice was rather loud this time and some people gathered. They started whispering –

"Who is this kid?"

"She must be a country bumpkin?"

"Her clothes are outstanding. She looks like a young miss of a wealthy family."

"Maybe a girl who has a crush on the President."

"Geez! So shameless!"

"..." Xue Lin still didn’t lose her cool. She calmly gazed at the receptionist and said, "You WILL call him and let him know that I’m here and you WILL let me meet him. I dare YOU to do anything impolite to me when I did nothing WRONG." She promised herself that if they do anything bad to her, she would call the police.

Her husband told her to come here because he wanted to show her something and he also told her that his friend Louis worked here. She believed in her husband and she also told him to threaten Louis not to do anything weird to her. She didn’t like Louis’ playfulness but she trusted her husband’s judgment. But the employee in front of her was just pissing her off. She felt like punching her right on the pretty face.

The receptionist was startled and quickly composed herself. She said, "This isn’t a playground for a little girl like you to come here. Leave at once." She saw the security guard coming inside hearing the commotion and told him, "Take her away and don’t let her enter again."

The sturdy bodyguard strode in Xue Lin’s direction and said, "Kid, come with me."

Xue Lin lost her patience. There was no reason for her to be polite to a bunch of brainless idiots. "You, Miss Receptionist, I don’t know how well educated you are but I must give you some lesson. First, don’t judge a book by its cover and second, just because someone looks youthful unlike you, doesn’t mean they are children. I completed my Ph.D. this year and I don’t see how I turned into a kid in your eyes."

She didn’t hold back and spoke loud enough to let others around them hear her. They all looked at her in astonishment including the receptionist. When she opened her mouth to say something, the security guard caught her left arm. "Alright, you said enough, let’s go."

Xue Lin kicked that guy aiming his sheen and he groaned and let her go. She was so mad right now. "How dare you touch a lady so roughly? Have you not learned manners?"

"What’s going on?" A calm voice was heard from the direction of the elevator. Everyone looked in the same direction and made a path for that person.
