His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
chapter-1203

"When Mother found out that she's pregnant, Father didn't drag her to the Civil Affairs Bureau like a caveman," Bacon replied. His tone this time wasn't bored like usual but was instead filled with contempt for his uncle. "Father responded by persuading Mother to move forward their wedding. They had an intimate but grand wedding with close family and friends that will be remembered for a long time to come because it's the best wedding in the history of the planet."

Of course, Bacon was always biased towards his parents, especially when it came to his beloved mother. Everything about his mother was the best in the history of the planet and the whole wide universe for him. His older sister, Ketchup, also thought the same way.

"That's right, catfight! Uncle Haohao is doing it all wrong! Uncle Dom said before that a lot of girls dream of having a romantic proposal and a beautiful wedding just like what Daddy gave Mommy. How can Uncle Haohao tell Auntie Jinjing to marry you just like that without any warning or preparation?! Pweh! So thoughtless! Poor Auntie Jinjing! Oooooh, the cute and mighty Ketchup is so sad for my auntie! If Daddy did that to Mommy, Mommy will surely kick Daddy's butt! Oh no, macapuno! Meow!"

Lu Zihao finally had an epiphany. Now he understood why Long Jinjing reacted that way despite her always telling him before that she wanted to marry him. Then hesitation filled him. More specifically, self-doubt.

He had no fucking idea how to go about making a romantic proposal and planning a beautiful wedding. But the most important question that he needed to ask himself was—did he want to put that much effort for Long Jinjing?

His thoughts and emotions were all jumbled up that he didn't know how to make sense of what he truly wanted.

But there was one thing that he was sure of right now. There was no way that he was going to leave Long Jinjing now that she was pregnant. Even if he didn't love her (or did he?), she was now going to become the mother of his child and deserved to be treated well.

He didn't care much about marriage, except when it came to his sister. Evelinka deserved the best and the status of official wife. In their past lives, he already castrated a number of motherfuckers who tried to seduce her without the intention of marriage. They just wanted to sleep with her. His sister was too focused on her computers and music that time, not to mention that she was extremely dense about sexual attraction, so she had no idea just how many men were lusting for her.

If he had known that she was reborn as Long Xiulan earlier, he would have surely not allowed Jin Liwei to snatch her. It was already too late when he learned that Long Xiulan was really his sister, Evelinka. Jin Liwei had already touched her and tricked her into becoming his lover.

Jin Liwei barely passed his requirements for being Evelinka's husband, but for someone not belonging to the underworld, the man was already quite impressive. At least, he had the wealth, status, and power to protect Evelinka. Also, Evelinka was happy with him. That was the most important.

Lu Zihao already long accepted the fact that his sister was married to Jin Liwei. As for his own marriage, he hadn't really thought about it especially in this new life of his as Lu Zihao. All he cared about was avenging the annihilation of his family and their organization.

But now…there was Long Jinjing to think about. He knew that marriage was very important to her. She already told him many times before how much she wanted to marry him.

He massaged his head, feeling an uncomfortable ache squeezing his skull, perhaps caused by all these things that happened practically overnight. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Leave us now, you two brats," he said through gritted teeth. "Don't interrupt me again."

"Aaaaw! But the cute and mighty Ketchup wants to watch all this drama! Meow~"

Bacon was silent but Lu Zihao knew that the little devil didn't want to leave either.

His nostrils flared and he spat, "I'll pay you two so just leave! Okay?"

"Bacon thanks Uncle Zihao for the payment."

"Aaaaw, fine! Good luck, Uncle Haohao! Please don't be a scumbag anymore! Auntie Jinjing is so pitiful! Ooooooh, so sad! Meowuwuwu!"

Finally, the two brats left. Lu Zihao sighed in relief. His headache improved a little but not much.

"Jinjing? Open the door." He knocked but she didn't respond. He could still hear her soft cries inside.

With a hard expression, he used the thin string of wire to pick the lock. It only took him a few seconds before the lock clicked and he pushed the door open.

Long Jinjing squeaked in surprise. Her face was red and covered in tears. She was sitting on the bathroom floor.

His expression turned ugly and he hurried to lift her up. "What the fuck are you doing sitting on the cold, hard floor?!"

She tried to get away from him but his hold on her was inescapable. Her paltry strength couldn't compare to him at all.

"I'm sorry," he said, his tone solemn.

At last, she stopped struggling. However, she continued looking at him with an aggrieved expression.

"I was wrong. I didn't consider your feelings and forced my own decision on you without discussing it with you first."

Her lips trembled. She wiped her tears with her hands. "Okay. I'm sorry, too. I overreacted."

"Hm. It's fine." He gave her pouting lips a peck. "You still need to eat."

She nodded. "But I don't think I can face the others looking like this…."

"Alright. We'll eat here in our room instead."

"T-thanks."

They stared at each other. Long Jinjing became flustered at the increasing heat in his eyes.

"I…uhm, need to shower first."

"Okay. Don't slip on the floor. I'll order the kitchen to deliver our meals here."

She nodded and accepted another kiss on the mouth from him before he left the bathroom. Now that she knew that locking the door was useless against him, she didn't bother closing it anymore. She left it open just like last night.

"Propose to me first, you brute," she muttered under her breath as she stepped into the shower.
