Chapter 1199: Speak Your Mind (2/2)
He sighed. ”I know that you're not like that, Jinjing.”
She sighed in relief but the nervousness didn't leave her. Her eyes were watery and she was shaking in her seat, especially with the evidence that she tried to hide from him now laid out in front of her.
”D-did Bacon tell you….?”
Bacon's child's voice interjected, ”Aunt Jinjing, please don't suspect that Bacon told Uncle Zihao about your secret. I promised you not to tell him so I didn't even when he tried to bribe me so many times. Bacon is not a corrupt child. My parents raised me to live a life of integrity and to follow my own principles. Please don't think that I'll betray a promise I made just like that. It hurts Bacon's feelings.”
”N-no, Bacon! I don't think that way at all. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I trust you. Really, I do!”
”If Aunt Jinjing is really sorry, then Bacon will accept another red packet as compensation for the emotional distress this conversation has caused me.”
”Yes! I'll give you a red packet. I'll give it to you now, Bacon. Don't worry.” She grabbed her phone and really sent a red packet to her AI nephew.
”Bacon thanks Aunt Jinjing.”
Lu Zihao watched everything just now. ”You done?”
”Y-yes….” She placed her phone face-down on the coffee table.
”Go play with your sister, kid. Don't disturb your aunt and I. We have something very important to talk about right now.”
”Understood, Uncle Zihao. Bacon will leave now. Oh, before I go, Aunt Jinjing.”
”Yes?”
”Please don't be scared to speak your mind to Uncle Zihao. Mother and Father say that communication between lovers is important to avoid any misunderstanding. Uncle Zihao may be a scumbag but he's not an impulsive man who'll react without understanding the situation first. Well, most of the time. Also, please don't worry. If he hurts you, you can always tell Bacon. I'll help you ask Father to demand heavy compensation from Uncle Zihao for any emotional distress he causes you.”
Tears flowed down Long Jinjing's face. She wiped them with her long sleeves and smiled. Her AI nephew's words might be biting—too biting most of the time—but he cared especially to those he considered his family.
”Thank you, Bacon.”
Lu Zihao didn't look happy at being called a scumbag once again but he didn't scold Bacon because the kid still spoke up for him in a way. ”Now go, kid.”
”Bacon will really leave now.”
Finally, the couple was alone in the bedroom. They looked at each other before glancing at the pregnancy test kits on the coffee table between them.
