Chapter 27 You Cant Do It (1/2)

”Well, is there something wrong?” It had been more than twenty days since they had had sex. And she hadn't taken any contraceptive pills. So he wanted her to go to the hospital for a checkup.

After all, he hated getting into unnecessary trouble the most.

Since Nina said she loved her husband, he thought it better for them to part ways.

Nina suddenly smiled. Her period just started two days ago. How could she be pregnant?

Although she had forgotten to take contraceptive pills the day after they had had sex, she had been paying attention to the possibility of getting pregnant all the while.

She was in tenterhooks and felt relieved only after her period had come.

”Uncle, you are too confident.” Nina couldn't help but teasingly laugh at him. ”Before I came out this evening, I'd drunk a glass of brown sugar water.”

”What does that have to do with me?” John couldn't think of any connection between the two, and he sneered with annoyance.

Henry was slightly shaking his head. He was afraid that John would say something stupid again and lose face in front of Nina one more time.

If John were to find out in the future and blamed Henry for not telling him, Henry would probably lose his dear life. Hesitantly, he began to explain, ”Mr. Shi, what Miss Lu means was that her aunt Flo has come to visit her recently.”

”Who is that? Aunt Flo is not, in anyway, related to me,” John once again answered with arrogance, still clueless as to what Henry meant to convey.

Nina couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard him.

Oh, how could this man be so cute?

In the past, her only impression of John was that he was arrogant and narcissistic, which made him all the more annoying. Now she realized that he was indeed a narcissist, but he was not aware that he was. What he just said unknowingly was really a little too cute.

If he also had a visit from Aunt Flo, she would really laugh her head off mirthlessly.

”No, Mr. Shi, what Miss Lu means to say is...” Henry was completely at a loss for words. What kind of person was John for him not to know about such things? He was dumbfounded and really had no idea how to make John understand the true meaning of what Nina said.

”All right, no more buts.” John squinted at the naughtily smiling face of Nina and ordered, ”Just go to the hospital.”

”I really don't need to go to the hospital. Stop the car now,” Nina said and her face returned to its normal features. It wasn't a big deal to make it a laughing matter while they were in the car, but it would not be a joke anymore if they made it to the hospital. John would probably be embarrassed to death if he knew about his blunder.

If that happened, he would definitely put the blame on her for everything.

”I said, go to the hospital,” John kept on insisting on going to the hospital.

But Nina was feeling kind-hearted that day and wanted to save his face for once. With his insistence, she had no choice but to tell the truth bluntly.

”There is no way I can be pregnant,” Nina gently explained to him with tenderness in her wet eyes, all the while smiling enchantingly.

John could not understand what she meant.

What was she trying to convey to him by smiling so smugly?

All of a sudden, it hit him and John's eyes had a gloomy expression. His face darkened as he threateningly approached her. ”Are you mocking me?”

”I...” Nina was stunned speechless. When did she mock him?

She was angry, but had an urge to laugh at his gaffe at the same time. To suppress her amusement, she turned her head away and didn't bother to look at John anymore. She really couldn't understand him at all, and she didn't have the nerve to even look straight at him.

However, when John saw her behaving in such a manner, his feelings gradually changed. Why did he have a feeling that she was dismissing him? He roughly pinched her chin and abruptly turned her face to him. With a gloomy face, he firmly scolded, ”Tell me the truth!”

Nina felt pain on her chin and found that she couldn't get rid of his hand. She was furious and mocked him, ”What makes you so confident in yourself?”

Was she spitefully implying that he couldn't make her pregnant?

Was she now so brazen as to challenge a man's dignity?

”Say that again if you dare!” He vigorously pinched her chin with more force until silent tears welled up in her stubborn eyes.

”Hasn't anyone told you never to provoke a man's dignity so easily? Or else...” he murmured seductively, his low voice like the sound of a melodious cello, magnetic and captivating.

He scrutinized her face, which was very close to his. Her tender skin, big, innocent, watery eyes, and kissable pink little mouth were all too eye-catching that all he could think of doing right then was to kiss her.
