His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1208

Chapter 1208 - Basic Courtesy

It took some time but Jin Liwei finally managed to control his laughter. Once he regained his composure, he cleared his throat and drank the rest of his coconut water. His mouth, however, continued to twitch upon remembering what just happened.

He faced his brother-in-law who looked murderous. This time, he could feel the hostility directed towards him. He wasn’t intimidated though. There was no bloodthirst emanating from Lu Zihao, just angry embarrassment.

Fine, since his fifth brother’s remnant was the one who made the suggestion, Jin Liwei would do his best to help his brother-in-law.

"Are you going to help me or not?" Lu Zihao asked, still glaring. "If not, I’m leaving."

Jin Liwei wanted to laugh again but restrained himself. It wasn’t good to provoke the man any further. His wife might be upset if he and her older brother quarreled. She wanted the two of them to get along because they were both very important to her.

"You want to know how to be romantic to Long Jinjing?" he asked.

"Is there anyone else other than her?" Lu Zihao grumbled, annoyed.

Jin Liwei could sense that the man was still embarrassed. Although Lu Zihao was threatening to leave just now, he still hadn’t left. It was clear to Jin Liwei that his brother-in-law really intended to learn a thing or two about romance even though he didn’t want to admit it out loud. Lu Zihao pushed all the blame on the remnant, claiming that it was because of the remnant’s suggestion that he sought Jin Liwei for some romance advice.

"Alright, I’ll give you a few suggestions based on my own experiences with Evelina," Jin Liwei said.

Lu Zihao pretended to be uninterested by looking everywhere else except at Jin Liwei, but Jin Liwei knew that his brother-in-law was paying attention to what he was saying.

The call with her mother made Long Jinjing feel many times better. She was able to keep her pregnancy a secret from her mother for now and only told Sun Jingfei about her issues with Lu Zihao. However, she knew that she couldn’t keep her pregnancy a secret forever and she didn’t want to do that either. Her baby was a blessing and despite the current uncertainty of her relationship with Lu Zihao, the father, she was still happy to be pregnant.

During her phone conversation with her mother, she cried her heart out, releasing her negative feelings. She cried for longer than she talked but her mother didn’t mind and listened to her patiently while murmuring words of comfort.

This was the power of a supportive and loving mother. The pain in her heart felt soothed by a refreshing balm that was her mother’s love.

It had been more than ten minutes now since the call ended but Long Jinjing was still staring at her phone with a soft and grateful smile on her face. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

She rubbed her belly. "Don’t worry, baby. I won’t keep you a secret for too long. I’ll make sure to introduce you to your Grandma Jingfei. She’ll definitely love you and dote on you more than she does to me."

Then her phone screen suddenly flickered and a white cat appeared.

"Excuse me, Auntie Jinjing. Meow~"

"Oh! Ketchup!" Long Jinjing was startled but recovered fast. She was still in the process of getting used to her AI niece and nephew popping up in nearby electronic devices now and then. "Yes? Do you need something?"

"My mommy is asking if it’s okay to come see Auntie Jinjing and talk to you right now. Meow~"

She hesitated but only for a moment. "Of course."

Long Jinjing blushed and subconsciously rubbed her belly again. Iris caught her action and smiled.

"It’s good to see that you’re eating well again, little sister."

"Me, too. It’s all thanks to Theresa’s health plan."

The conversation stopped at this moment as the two women enjoyed the various snacks on the table. The silence wasn’t awkward but was actually quite comfortable.

"Are you still upset?" Iris eventually asked.

"A little," Long Jinjing admitted.

"But you still love Big Brother?"

"Yes. I already love him before but I love him even more now that I’m pregnant with his baby. It’s amazing, really. But...I don’t know if I can continue like this forever. I hate to be a martyr and keep on waiting for him to love me back. He...told me to marry him. TOLD me. He didn’t even give me a proper proposal, the jerk."

Iris offered her an unwrapped bar of chocolate.

Long Jinjing took it and bit into it angrily. "I’m not asking for anything fancy. Even if there are no flowers or a candlelit dinner, heck, even if there’s no ring, at least he should’ve ASKED me. Is that so hard to do? Little sister, am I being too demanding for wanting a proper proposal?"

"Not at all. That’s basic courtesy if a man wants to marry a woman."
