His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 1137 Exactly What I Want



Long Jinjing's nervousness was now completely gone as she chatted with her AI niece and nephew. The forgotten Lu Zihao felt like an abandoned puppy—ahem ahem—abandoned "boyfriend" and sulked beside her while glaring at the two AI cats who didn't mind him at all.

Unable to take it anymore, he interrupted the cheerful conversation between the three. "Go home. I still have some important things to talk about with your aunt."

"Aaaaw, Uncle Haohao! The cute and mighty Ketchup wants to talk to Auntie Jinjing more! Can Ketchup stay here longer? Pretty please? Meow~"

"Uncle Zihao, feeling jealous of your own nephew and niece is not classy."

Lu Zihao's already ugly expression turned even uglier. But before he could explode, he heard his woman's soft, amused laughter which felt like it was tickling something inside his chest. His annoyance decreased a lot. He didn't notice this at the moment, though.

"Ketchup, Bacon, don't tease your Uncle Zihao too much," Long Jinjing said. "We can chat another time."

"Meow, really? Can the cute and mighty Ketchup visit Auntie Jinjing and talk to you again? Meow~"

Long Jinjing smiled. "Of course, Ketchup. You too, Bacon. You can come and visit me anytime."

Bacon didn't reply but his tail swished indicating his true feelings. 

"It's getting late," Long Jinjing said. "Your mom and dad must be worried about you."

"It's okay, Auntie Jinjing! Ketchup is still present at home because I'm cute and mighty! But my little kitty brother Bacon has curfew because he's super-duper to the highest level naughty and always gets grounded by our daddy. Meow!"

The black cat AI pounced on his older sister but the white cat AI dodged while giggling.

"Enough," Lu Zihao said, his tone stern. "Go home now. Don't bother me and your aunt tonight."

Ketchup continued whining and blinked her pitiful green eyes at Long Jinjing, not at Lu Zihao. The white cat AI was using her cuteness overload technique that she would usually use on her mom to get what she wanted from her aunt this time.

Lu Zihao knew all about the tricks of his sister's cat children. He already lost count how many times he watched his sister give in to her cat children whenever they started acting cute to her. It was a good thing that his brother-in-law was a strict disciplinarian or else these naughty little brats would become even more uncontrollable with how much his sister kept on spoiling them. Seeing how Ketchup and Bacon had already won over Long Jinjing, he knew that his woman must have the same weakness for cute cats like his sister.

He covered Long Jinjing's eyes with a hand to prevent her from being affected by Ketchup's below-the-belt cuteness attack. He continued glaring at his AI niece and nephew.

Ketchup blinked her teary, green eyes at her cold-hearted uncle. "The cute and mighty Ketchup is so sad! Uncle Haohao is such a big meanie but Ketchup is a good kitty baby so I'll listen to Uncle Haohao. Let's go home now, Bacon. It's almost time for your curfew anyway. Meow."

Bacon still looked bored but his tail which stopped swishing indicated his disappointment at having to go home this early. "Auntie Jinjing, if Uncle Zihao hurts your feelings and makes you cry again, please tell Bacon. I'll help you ask Father to demand compensation from Uncle Zihao for emotional distress. Don't worry, Aunt Jinjing. Father is an expert in helping Bacon negotiate this kind of compensation. He always succeeds in helping Bacon."

Long Jinjing removed Lu Zihao's hand over her eyes and laughed again at what her AI nephew told her. However, she still replied in a serious tone, "Okay, Bacon. I will. Thank you."

Before the two cat AI siblings could leave, Lu Zihao said, "Bacon, I'm revoking your access to my armoury. You're not allowed to take any weapon from it anymore without my permission. You hear me?"

The black cat AI shrank his head to his fluffy body, looking pitiful. "Understood, Uncle Zihao. Father already offered to pay full compensation for the katana but Uncle Zihao rejected his offer. Bacon thought that everything is now resolved about the matter. Holding a grudge for this long is not classy, Uncle Zihao."

"You little—"

"Bacon bids goodbye to Uncle Zihao and Aunt Jinjing." The black cat AI disappeared.

"Bye bye, Uncle Haohao and Auntie Jinjing! See ya later, alligator! Meowhoosh!" The white AI also disappeared like a ninja.

Lu Zihao's nostrils were still flaring but he was inwardly relieved when the two naughty AI cats finally left. He snapped out of it when he felt his woman hugging him. He glanced down and saw her smiling at him. His expression improved and he found himself smiling as well.

"I can't believe that I have such amazing niece and nephew from Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei. I initially thought that Ketchup and Bacon are extremely shy cats who dislike showing themselves to other people, that's why I've never seen them in person before at Dragon Palace. But now that I've met them and even talked to them, I'm glad that I now have the privilege to know about their existences. Thank you, Nikolai."

"Why thank me?"

"For showing me a part of the real you and letting me into your world. If not for you doing this, Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei might never have allowed Ketchup and Bacon to reveal themselves to me. I'm so happy, Nikolai. It feels like I've entered a completely different world of many wonders."

He touched her chin and rubbed her lips. "You're happy? Not scared?"

She thought about it for a moment before admitting, "I'm both happy and scared at the same time. There's so much to take in so I'll just not think about it too much, at least for now. I just want to follow my heart. And my heart is telling me that…I can trust you."

He sighed but his tone was gentle when he told her, "Jinjing, a monster like me doesn't deserve your trust."

She pouted. "That's what you believe! I'll only believe what my heart is telling me."

A devilish chuckle escaped from his lips as his eyes darkened. "If you keep on treating me like this, I might tie you up to me and never let you go."

She beamed at him. "That's exactly what I want."
