Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 222 - Calm Before The Storm

Jennie was still thinking about what she should do with Cao Haoyue when she noticed that the two had gone silent like her.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Huh?" Lu Che answered first with a blank expression.

Jennie said, "You two have been staring at me for a while now."

Though she was distracted by her thoughts, she could still feel and sense their gazes but didn't bother with it until she was done thinking.

Lu Che coughed miserably and disguised his embarrassment with an action of taking a sip from his cup. However, Jennie's eyes still followed his movements and waited for him to finish.

Without a choice, Lu Che could only say, "Hey, miss. Are you single?"

"No."

The young and beautiful lady sitting across from them didn't even blink nor pause when she replied. It was as if there was no hesitation in her answer at all.

Lu Che felt choked up, but in order to become a matchmaker between his beautiful masked lady and his doctor friend, he continued to say, "You're not? How long have you been in a relationship?"

Jennie answered without missing a single beat, "3 months."

Lu Che suddenly slapped his thigh, which took the other two by surprise and stared at him with an incredulous expression on their faces.

Then, suddenly, Qin Mo had a bad premonition as if he could already see the future where Lu Che would embarrass themselves.

As expected, Lu Che said, "Aiya... only three months? That's too short. In this stage of a relationship, there can be so many things that can happen. I'm sure you and your partner still have a lot of things to know."

"That's true..."

Jennie also thought that the last part of his sentence was right. There really was a lot of things for her and Lisa to know. However, they have a lot of time to explore and discover each other's life.

However, her answer was taken as an encouragement by Lu Che as he smiled lightly. "Sister... What do you think about this brother of mine here?"

Jennie raised her eyes and stared at him, frowning a little bit.

Lu Che didn't see her expression and continued speaking, "Well... this brother of mine is a famous young talent in the medical world. His net worth is also very big, you don't have to worry about spending money in your entire life! Of course, this brother is also very faithful and loyal. He will stay with you until your hair become white!"

Qin Mo glared at this 'good brother' of his and almost covered his face with his palm. Why did he have to suffer like this after getting in trouble that morning?

Similarly to him, Jennie was stupefied at what was going on. More so, when she saw how sincere and earnest Lu Che was acting.

After such a deep and honest speech, Jennie finally said, "Sorry, but the man I am with is also loyal to me. But thank you for the offer."

After saying this, Jennie glanced at Doctor Qin, who refused to speak another word after what happened, she said to him, "Doctor Qin, I will apologize for what happened this morning once again. I will forget what happened just now but I hope we can stay in contact and you can continue doing my checkups for me."

Qin Mo finally raised his eyes to stare at her and nodded. "Don't worry, I will stay true to my word and continue looking after your condition."

After Jennie left the small and obscured office, she headed back to her house. When she arrived, she saw that the living room was empty and the man who usually comes out to greet her whenever she arrived home was not there.

Then, she remembered that Lisa was outside of the country right now to do foreign business projects and would only return after two weeks.

So, she called Zhao Fei first to ask her about her schedule this week before calling Wu Qi to ask him about the current events inside the company.

Wu Qi reported that everything was under control and Deng Zhenzhen safely left her previous agency and the agency also didn't try to trouble them anymore.

Sighing deeply, Jennie slumped into the sofa and covered her eyes with her arm. She felt tired after running around the city and even more tired when she thought about Cao Haoyue.

Peeling the arm away from her face, Jennie looked down on her belly and rubbed it gently. A smile appeared on her lips and eyes as she gently said, "At least you're here to calm me down."

Today's event was truly an eye-opener. Jennie thought to herself.

Previously, she thought that all troubles were gone after she erased all the mess and troubles that came in her way and could start her career smoothly again. But her pregnancy just happened to be a surprise and she didn't know what to do.

Honestly, before meeting Lisa, she planned to get pregnant through an IVF and start her career while also planning to take a break in the middle. She only needed to work hard to film several dramas and movies during the 6 months period of her pregnancy before asking for a half a year break to give birth and also to take care of the child alone.

And when she met Lisa and heard that the procedure had failed, she thought that she could postpone her plan to get pregnant and wait till her career bloomed and rose to the peak. Then, when she was ready to retire, that's when she planned to get pregnant again and start a family with Lisa.

But today, that plan could no longer be followed.

Besides, there was also Cao Haoyue. What does she want from her?

Jennie never met nor interacted with Cao Haoyue, however, that didn't mean that she couldn't be involved with Madam Manoban.

Thinking like this, Jennie went to search for information on the internet about the Cao family. And as she expected, Cao Haoyue was really connected to Cao Haoyue. They were cousins.

But that didn't answer Jennie's question. What does her examination result have anything to do with them?

Just as Jennie was getting closer to the answer, her phone suddenly rang and she saw the screen was showing off the Caller ID ⁠— Grandpa Manoban.
