His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1202 - Clueless

Chapter 1202 - Clueless

The next day, Long Jinjing woke up naturally. She turned her body and reached her arm to the other side of the bed but found the space empty. Her eyes opened and saw that she was alone in the bedroom. The bedroom was dark but she could see bright sunlight streaming through the corners of the black-out curtains. She stretched her body like a cat on the bed before she froze upon realizing something.

"Oh no!"

She sat up in a panic and looked at the bedside clock. 11:36 AM.

"I’m late for work!"

She almost fell down from the bed in her hurry to get up. Fortunately, she was able to right her balance before tumbling down to the floor but her posture was still unsightly with one leg still on the bed tangled with the duvet. The bedroom door opened.

"What the hell are you doing, woman?!" Lu Zihao roared while hurrying to help her up. "Don’t you know how to be careful?! You’re pregnant, for fuck’s sake!"

Before Long Jinjing could react, he already lifted her up like a child and sat her on the edge of the bed. His expression was ugly as he checked her whole body from head to toe and back up again.

"You can even fall down from the bed? How careless can you be?!"

She was dazed while he continued scolding her. Then she touched her belly and stammered, "I’m...p-pregnant...."

Memories of what happened last night flooded her mind.

The pregnancy test the doctor conducted on her said that she was borderline pregnant. Although it wasn’t 100% or even 95% certain yet, the doctor assured her that she was indeed pregnant. They needed to wait another week to conduct another pregnancy test but it would just basically be a formality.

Since the doctor said so, then it must be true. After all, the doctor was someone that her brother-in-law trusted to take care of her younger sister’s health. Jin Liwei would never risk Iris’ health especially since she was pregnant. That alone was enough for Long Jinjing to trust the doctor’s conclusion that she, too, was pregnant just like her younger sister.

"Good that you remember you’re pregnant. You have to be more careful from now on!"

She finally focused on Lu Zihao who was still scolding her. He was scowling, clearly angry, but she couldn’t stop herself from smiling. She pounced on him and hugged his neck.

He caught her with no problem but scolded her again. "I just said that you need to be more careful! What the hell are you doing launching yourself like this?!"

Her smile turned into a wide grin as she nuzzled his neck. "But you caught me."

"Of course. Like hell I’ll allow you to fall when I’m around."

"And you’re worried about me."

"You’re my woman."

She straightened her head and looked at him. "I love you, Nikolai."

He looked at her as well. "Hm. I know."

This time, she wasn’t as disappointed as before. She could see the gentleness in his expression.

He patted her butt. "Go shower. We’ll be joining the others for lunch. Well, it’s brunch for you."

She gasped and struggled in his arms before he put her down on the floor. "Oh no! I almost forgot! I’m super late for work! Did I forget to set my alarm last night?"

"I cancelled your alarm when it went off this morning."

"What? Why?!"

He raised an eyebrow and touched her eye bags. "You couldn’t sleep last night. It was already dawn when you finally fell asleep. You think I don’t know?"

"Oh." She bit her lower lip. "But my work...."

"I already told my sister to give you a day off. She already called Chen Fei. Go rest for today."

"But—"

"No buts." He glared at her. "You’re pregnant now, Jinjing. You want to lose our baby?! Like hell I’ll let you do that!"

"No! Of course, I don’t want to lose our baby!" She hugged her stomach in a protective way.

Then she realized something. "Y-you...called it ’our’ baby? You want our baby? Really?"

"It’s mine."

His tone was filled with possessiveness. No additional words were needed. Long Jinjing understood what kind of character he had. If he didn’t like something or someone, he wouldn’t waste his time pretending otherwise. If he wasn’t rejecting her or their baby right now, then it must mean that he already accepted the fact that he was going to become a father.

Her eyes watered but she was smiling. She was filled with joy.

"Yes, Nikolai." She pulled his hand and placed it on her belly. "It’s your baby. Our baby."

"Hm."

Long Jinjing was almost skipping with happiness to the bathroom to freshen up when Lu Zihao said, "Wear something nice."

She paused and looked at him in confusion. "Why? Are we going to a party or something?"

"No. We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau after lunch. You’ll marry me today."

She looked like she had been hit by lightning. Then her expression twisted. "No!"

He frowned. This time, he was the one confused. "What do you mean no? Don’t you want to marry me?"

She opened her mouth but couldn’t articulate what she wanted to say. "Not this way!"

Then she ran away crying to the bathroom. She locked the door behind her. He knocked and tried to force the door open. He could hear her soft cries inside.

"What the fuck?" He had no idea what he did wrong.

He flicked his wrist and a thin string of wire popped out of his wristwatch. He was about to use it to pick the bathroom door lock when....

"Uncle Zihao is so stupid," Bacon’s voice said.

"Yeah! Uncle Haohao is such a dumbo! Meow!" Ketchup’s voice exclaimed next.

Lu Zihao scowled. He planned on ignoring the two brats but were Bacon and Ketchup the kind of children that were easily ignored?

"Bacon is so ashamed to watch my own uncle’s stupidity. I must definitely ask Father to assist Aunt Jinjing to demand compensation from Uncle Zihao for causing her this kind of frustrating emotional distress."

Lu Zihao scowled. He already thought about it but was still clueless about what he did wrong and why his woman reacted like that.

Left with no choice, he could only ask the two AI brats, "What did I do wrong?"
