Beautiful Wife & Genius Son ✔

Chapter 3

Zhen Zhen and Nan Ma rushed to Zhen Wu's school.

'Big sister, where did Zhen Wu disappear to?' Zhen Zhen asked in a panicked tone.

'Little sister, don't cry,' Nan Ma said. 'Zhen Wu's a genius. He knows his way home.'

Zhen Zhen was happy to hear a familiar ring tone. It was the ring tone Nan Ma saved on Zhen Zhen's phone.

'Zhen Wu?' Zhen Zhen asked.

'Mum!' Zhen Wu said. 'I'm home.'

Zhen Wu heard the phone disconnect and ten minutes later his mum was hugging him. From the school to their home was at least thirty minutes. He knew his mum must have sped home.

'Mum why are you crying?' Zhen Wu asked.

'No I'm not crying,' Zhen Zhen denied.

Zhen Zhen didn't want to look like a cry baby in front of her son.

'Mum I knew you forgot to pick me up so I went home on my own,' Zhen Wu said.

'I promise I won't forget to pick you up from school again,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen heard his mum promised him she wouldn't forget too many times. He didn't know when his mum would let him go, his tolerance was waning.

Zhen Zhen wiped her eyes and glanced at Zhen Wu's laptop on the table.

'Zhen Wu, you made a coding error,' Zhen Zhen said.

'Really?' Zhen Wu asked.

Zhen Zhen was happy Zhen Wu was home and safe. She let go of him and walked into her lab.

Zhen Wu knew his mother was still smarter than him so he carefully checked for the coding error.

No one noticed Nan Ma was vomiting outside. She was in the death seat while Zhen Zhen sped like a maniac home.

A month later, apart from eating Zhen Zhen was cooped inside her lab. Her recent research took longer than usual. It wasn't Zhen Wu who disturbed her but the MF Reynold. Reynold kept calling her phone. But she couldn't turn off her phone in case something happened to Zhen Wu.

'Mr Reynold what do you want?' Zhen Zhen asked politely.

'I want to eat dinner with you,' Reynold said.

'If I agree will you stop calling me?' Zhen Zhen asked.

'Perhaps,' Reynold asked.

'Ok what time and where?' Zhen Zhen asked.

Zhen Zhen hung up the phone and changed into a T-shirt and jeans.

'Xiao Wu tonight eat at aunty Xiao's house,' Zhen Zhen said. 'Tonight I need to meet someone.'

'Is it that uncle?' Zhen Wu asked. 'Does he want to be my dad?'

'Of course not,' Zhen Zhen said.

'Zhen Zhen, next time if he calls and proposes to you while you're experimenting I hope you'll be alert and careful,' Zhen Wu said.

'Of course,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Wu waited for his mum to leave. Then he called the teacher.

'Hello teacher, mum isn't home,' Zhen Wu said. 'You can ask a driver to pick me up.'

A while later Zhen Zhen arrived at the exclusive Lan Jin restaurant.

A guard stopped Zhen Zhen from entering Lan Jin.

'Miss I need to see you ID,' the guard said.

Zhen Zhen looked into the fancy restaurant of men in suits and women in cocktails. She understood her comfortable T-shirt and tattered jeans wasn't suitable and why the guard stopped her.
