Chapter 1225 - This I Promise You
"Hm," Lu Zihao replied, still looking calm and casual. Those close to him, however, could detect that he was very pleased.
An excited Grandpa Lu flew towards them. "Is that true?! Jinjing my girl is really pregnant?! I'm going to have another great-grandbaby?! Tell me, I want to know! If you dare lie to your beloved grandpa, this old man will smack the bloody hell out of you, Haohao!"
Long Jinjing gathered all of her courage and stepped between the grandfather and grandson, feeling worried that the old man would smack her boyfriend again like usual. Everyone's expectant gazes were on her. She felt pressured but steeled herself.
"Yes, Grandpa Lu," she replied instead of Lu Zihao. "It's true. I'm pregnant with Zihao's baby. You're going to have another great-grandchild."
"Bahahahaha!" Grandpa Lu pulled both Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao into an enthusiastic hug. The arm holding Long Jinjing was gentle while the other hand didn't hold back in smacking—ehem ehem—"patting" his grandson's back.
Long Jinjing winced at the loud thumps. Although this kind of scene wasn't new to her and Lu Zihao didn't seem to mind at all, it still worried her. It felt like she was the one getting hit with every smack. She didn't want her boyfriend getting hurt.
Fortunately, the old man didn't "pat" his grandson for too long. He released the couple and grinned at them. His joyful smile almost stretched from ear to ear.
"This old man is very happy! So my grandson isn't such a big dunderhead after all! First, it was Xiulan my girl. And now, it's you, Jinjing my girl. You sisters are absolute blessings to my pinheaded grandsons! Your beloved grandpa has been so worried for the longest time that I'm going to die without ever meeting my great-grandbabies from these pinheads, but now they decide to pop them one after another. This is the best! Today, we celebrate! Bahahahaha!"
The others echoed Grandpa Lu's delight. Everyone was in high spirits during breakfast. Grandpa Lu's grin never stopped. He looked at his two grandsons, Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao, with great pride. Of course, he became even happier when looking at Iris and Long Jinjing, both pregnant with his much-awaited precious great-grandbabies.
After breakfast, the group had no choice but to disperse. Iris had an important meeting to start the process of setting up her holding company. Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu would be accompanying her, the former as her business advisor and the latter as her academic evaluator.
Grandpa Lu was a little regretful. He wanted to chat longer with Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing but Iris' meeting today was very important to her business career as well as her academic grades.
"I also have to go to work, Grandpa Lu," Long Jinjing told him. "We can talk again later tonight."
The old man narrowed his eyes at her. "You're pregnant now, my girl. Don't work yourself too hard and end up in bed rest like your sister! Do you hear me? Tell me that you understand. I want to know!"
"Yes, Grandpa Lu. I understand."
Grandpa Lu still didn't looked convinced. He turned to his grandson. "Haohao, you take care of your wife! If something bad happens to her, watch this old man spank your butt!"
