My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

"RRRIIING—"

The bell rang, signaling the end of the last class of the afternoon.

Luna Jennings slung her backpack on and once again rushed out the door.

"Luna..."

A gentle voice called out from the doorway.

Luna Jennings’s mad dash came to an abrupt halt, her momentum nearly sending her tumbling.

Jenson Lawson, startled, hurried to steady her.

’This girl still hasn’t changed her rash personality.’

"Fatty, what are you doing here?"

Overjoyed to see him, Luna Jennings gave him a great big hug.

Jenson Lawson had been very chubby as a kid, so everyone used to call him Fatty.

Now, however, he had grown into a tall, slim, handsome young man.

"Luna, who’s this?"

A girl from her class who she knew well asked as she passed by, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"My childhood friend..."

"Ohhh."

The drawn-out sound and teasing gaze made Luna Jennings a little embarrassed. She quickly pulled Jenson Lawson away from the gossiping girls.

"Fatty, don’t mind them. You know women, right? Gossiping is in our nature..."

Luna Jennings let out a hearty laugh, dispelling the earlier awkwardness.

"I see you haven’t changed a bit." A smile in his eyes, Jenson Lawson affectionately tapped the tip of her nose. "Come on, my mom already made dinner."

Luna Jennings pulled a ticket out of her pocket, pressed her palms together, and made an apologetic face. "Fatty, how about I properly atone for my sins? Something really came up at the same time..."

The moment Jenson Lawson saw the ticket, he understood. He flicked her on the forehead. "So disloyal. Let’s eat first. I’ll drive you there later."

"Really?"

"No, I’m kidding..."

"Fatty, you’re such a sweetheart."

"You like that?"

"I love it to death." Just like when they were kids, Luna Jennings hugged his arm and rubbed her head against it.

The corners of Jenson Lawson’s mouth lifted as he raised a hand to ruffle her hair.

His eyes were filled with adoration.

’Silly girl...’

***

At the fan meet-and-greet that evening, Luna Jennings successfully got an autograph and a piece of handcrafted merchandise.

Jenson Lawson waited outside for her for over two hours.

Moved, Luna Jennings invited him out for a late-night snack to thank him.

The two of them drove to the food street near Arcadian University.

The place was incredibly lively at night, with tons of delicious things to eat.

Luna Jennings led him to a late-night spot she frequented. "The malatang here is super delicious."

Jenson Lawson smiled and let her drag him into the shop.

"Hey, boss..."

Luna Jennings’s voice died in her throat.

Because the first thing she saw was a certain man at one of the tables.

"Morgan..." Luna Jennings called out in pleasant surprise. She let go of Jenson Lawson’s shirt and hurried over.

"Luna, what are you doing here?"

A cute female voice came from the other side.

"Leigh? Oh, Aurora, long time no see! Did you miss me?" Luna Jennings reached her arms over Leigh Miles to give Aurora Sinclair a hug.

She then glanced at Alvin Morgan, who was sitting furthest inside, and called out a bit reservedly, "Professor Morgan."

"Come eat with us!" Leigh invited enthusiastically.

"Can we? I’d feel bad imposing..." Though her words were polite, Luna Jennings’s body was quite honest as she sat down next to Benjamin Morgan.

"Who’s this big brother...?"

"Oh, right, right... This is my childhood friend, Jenson Lawson." Prompted by Leigh, Luna Jennings quickly made the introductions.

They were at a small round table, so Jenson Lawson had a waiter add a chair next to Luna Jennings.

"Aurora, how did you find this place?" Luna Jennings asked with a smile.

Aurora Sinclair pointed at Leigh Miles, whose mouth was glistening with oil from all the food she was eating.

Luna Jennings laughed and pulled the autographed merchandise she had just managed to grab out of her bag.

"Ta-da! Freshly acquired autographs and merchandise."

"Whoa, Luna, you’re amazing! Darius Lynch only prepared 10 pieces of merchandise this time. You actually managed to snag two?" Leigh Miles praised her with a wide grin.

"Of course. Here, one of the autographs is for you."

"Hehe, thanks, Luna..."

Leigh Miles reached out with a grin, only to get her hand slapped by Aurora Sinclair.

"Senior..." Leigh whined pitifully.

Luna Jennings immediately got protective. "Why did you hit her? Leigh’s in her third year of middle school now. Chasing after a celebrity is a good way to relieve some stress."

Aurora Sinclair glanced at Leigh. "She sells a lot of the autographs she gets."

"S-Sells them?"

"No, I don’t! Luna, don’t listen to my senior. So, spill it, is this handsome ’big brother’ really just a childhood friend?"

Leigh Miles changed the subject as if her life depended on it, now too embarrassed to take the autograph Luna had worked so hard to get.

Luna Jennings flinched and shot a careful glance at Benjamin Morgan before explaining, "We’re just childhood friends. What are you thinking, you little brat?"

"Hehehe..."

Beside her, Jenson Lawson poured her a glass of juice and said with a smile, "We could be more than just childhood friends, too."

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

Luna Jennings kicked Jenson Lawson under the table and shot him a glare.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Jenson Lawson just smiled, good-naturedly saying nothing more.

"Have some juice..."

Just then, Benjamin Morgan, who was sitting next to Luna Jennings, suddenly said, "He likes you."
