After Lu Zihao completed distributing tasks to his subordinates, he glanced at his AI nephew who was staring back at him from the computer screen on the wall.

"You know what to do?" he asked.

"Bacon knows, Uncle Zihao," the black cat AI replied. "As long as Uncle Zihao pays my salary on time, I will do my job well. This is what Mother and Father taught Bacon and Big Sister Ketchup—to always have an excellent work ethic."

Lu Zihao grunted. It was good that the little devil had already stopped sulking. What if Bacon tattled on him again on his wife and the old man? His wife was easy to coax but Grandpa Lu's nagging was something that he would rather avoid if possible.

He already had the original Lu Zihao's remnant annoying him to no end. If Grandpa Lu was added to the mix, he might really end up pulling all of his hair out in frustration.

Lu Zihao glanced at the time and stood up, signifying the end of the meeting. He had already stayed at Shadow Winds headquarters longer than he initially planned. Long Jinjing must be wondering why he hadn't come home yet.

"Goodbye, Boss Hao!"

He grunted at his subordinates before heading out. It was already past dinner time. He was displeased that he had missed eating dinner together with his wife.

These days, he couldn't sit still if Long Jinjing was out of his sight for too long. Her due date was fast approaching but since they were expecting twins, it wouldn't be surprising if she also gave birth earlier like Iris. Lu Zihao didn't want to miss the birth of his children.

No, that wasn't quite accurate.

The truth was that he was extremely worried about Long Jinjing. He had witnessed how much his sister suffered while giving birth to his twin nephews.

He might not have seen the actual birth with his own eyes but just remembering how his sister's expression looked like contorted in pain as she did her best to walk a few times in the hallway outside the delivery room during her hours-long labour was enough to make him panic.

Evelinka also admitted that it was the worst pain that she had ever experienced, like being ripped apart from the inside.

It was only then that Lu Zihao fully understood why his sister had told him to take Long Jinjing away while they were waiting outside the delivery room to avoid traumatizing his timid woman.

"Will Jinjing be able to bear it?" Lu Zihao muttered as he drove out of the headquarters into the dark, bumpy road of the old industrial zone.

If Long Jinjing really suffered like his sister while giving birth, he didn't know if he could be like Jin Liwei and continue accompanying his wife inside the delivery room without strangling the doctor and the medical staff.
