631 Poor Husband (2/2)
”So soon? What if I'm not pregnant after all?”
He frowned. ”You won't marry me sooner if you're not pregnant?”
”That's not what I mean. It's just that both of us are extremely busy right now…”
”I already told you many times before that you're more important to me than my work. If I need to, I'll take leave from work for you. Don't forget that I'm the boss of Jin Corporation. I can create my own damn schedule if I want to. Busy or not, I'll choose you over the company at any time. Besides, if anyone dares to kick me out of Jin Corporation, I'll just become a househusband. After all, my wife is a famous celebrity, not to mention that she has her own businesses which are doing extremely well. You'll take care of me and support me if your poor husband suddenly becomes unemployed, won't you, my love?”
Iris fell into a fit of giggles. ”Of course, darling. I think I can manage to earn enough for both of us.”
”And for our children, too,” he added.
Her giggles turned nervous but she still nodded. ”Yes. For our children, too,” she agreed in a soft voice.
He pulled her in his arms. ”Don't worry, love. Except for Grandpa Lu, I won't let anyone snatch Jin Corporation away from me that easily. It's the company which my own grandfather worked so hard with Grandpa Lu to build from the ground up and my father maintained until it was handed down to me. I want to be the one to take care of you and support you. But at least, I now have the peace of mind that you'll be willing to become a working wife if I ever end up being a humble househusband.”
”We'll take care and support each other, Liwei.”
”En.” He inhaled the lovely scent of her hair (Orchidia Beauty shampoo and conditioner, soon to be released) and hugged her tighter. ”I know that marrying me now will set you back a bit after all your hard work since the year started because there are still idiots who think that you're using me to advance your career.”
Her expression turned serious as she listened to him.
He continued, ”I know that you want to be recognized for your own accomplishments and I respect that. I love and admire that about you. You're such a strong and independent woman, yet not everyone sees that. Stupid, blind fools!”
