Chapter 717: Is Sister-in-law Pregnant?
Zi Yi did not say anything in front of the manager. After they returned to the car she started educating Lu Yunxiao. “If you encounter such people who are clearly taking advantage of you, you have to bargain with them. The money you have earned is what you have exchanged for by fighting with your life on the line and you should cherish it. Otherwise, if someone else blackmails you in the future, you’ll have worked for nothing!”
Zi Yi did not care if it was her money. To her, earning money was just a matter of minutes and so she asked, “You gave the other party 100 million, do you still have money to spend? If you don’t have enough, I’ll get Ah Jing to transfer you a few hundred million.”
Lu Yunxiao looked at Zi Yi and his heart felt warm.
So it turns out… the feeling of having a sister-in-law was like this.
He replied, “I have money.”
Lu Jingye explained on his behalf. “I am managing the main bulk of Yunxiao’s money. He has also earned quite a bit all these years.”
Since Lu Jingye said that he had earned quite a bit, that meant that he had earned a lot.
After Zi Yi was assured that Lu Yunxiao would not suffer from a lack of money, she said, “Even if you are rich, you shouldn’t give so much when you encounter such blatant blackmailing. No one’s money drops down from the tree.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head. “Ok.”
After the car drove back to their villa, the three of them did not stay idle. Under Zi Yi’s command, the two brothers helped her prepare a lab. Lu Yunxiao was responsible for their safety, while Lu Jingye acted as Zi Yi’s assistant and they started to refine a shield for the sonic soundwave attack.
Zi Yi got Lu Jingye to turn on the super furnace and said, “The meteorite we need should reach us by tomorrow. Let’s refine the other materials first, so that we don’t have to rush tomorrow.”
The equipment here was too backward. If they were in the interstellar era, these things can be done in an hour or two. Moreover,it was fully automated. However, it could not be done here. Zi Yi had to personally complete every refining procedure.
“After the laboratory is built, the first thing I must do is to create a set of super-intelligent refining machines. This type of manual work is too tiring.”
Lu Jingye could not bear to see her suffer and said, “You can teach me how to refine them. I’ll refine them while you can go take a nap.”
“No, I want to be with you.” Zi Yi was rather clingy toward Lu Jingye sometimes. “I can’t sleep if you don’t hold me in your arms.”
Lu Jingye’s lips unconsciously curved up and he raised his hand to touch her head.
Zi Yi blinked her eyes and said, “But I’ll teach you how to refine it, so that I can stand by and direct you instead.”
“Okay.”
Throughout the entire night, Zi Yi had taught Lu Jingye how to refine this type of special material.
However, during this time the villa was besieged by several groups of people.
But with Lu Yunxiao and a group of invisible robots guarding the place, none of the groups could even approach the villa before they were all wiped out.
It was normal for people to die here.
Perhaps it might be a life-and-death struggle one second ago but in the next second, the two bosses would be laughing and drinking together.
At around 6 a.m. in the morning, the meteorite Zi Yi needed had arrived.
Zi Yi got Shadow to guard the stone, while she and Lu Jingye went to eat breakfast.
Their breakfast was relatively simple. It consisted of porridge, steamed buns, steamed bread, eggs, and a few appetizers.
Zi Yi had stayed up all night and she did not have much of an appetite, so she only drank the porridge.
Lu Yunxiao told them about what happened last night.
“A total of five groups came and they are respectively…”
He could accurately discern the group and the man behind the attack without investigating.
Zi Yi snorted and laughed. “These people had sent so many people but were all taken care of by Yunxiao. Do you think they will openly come and find fault today?”
“They won’t dare,” Lu Jingye said, “In this place, whoever is more powerful is the boss. If they dare to come, we’ll just take care of them.”
Lu Jingye finished speaking and peeled an egg for her. “Why is your appetite so bad?”
Zi Yi had stayed up all night before in the past and she would still remain full of energy the next day. She had never looked like how she was right now as if she was tired and weary.
Zi Yi pouted. “I don’t know either. I just don’t feel like eating.”
Having said that, she pushed away the egg Lu Jingye handed to her. “I don’t want to eat eggs. I’m losing my appetite just by looking at it.”
She then ate one of the appetizers and said, “I’ll eat this.”
Lu Jingye furrowed his brow. “Eggs are nutritious. You should at least eat one, otherwise you won’t be able to endure past 12 p.m. today.”
“I don’t want to eat.”
This was the first time Zi Yi had ever thrown a tantrum. Lu Jingye touched her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief after ensuring she was not sick.
Just then, Lu Yunxiao suddenly asked, “Is sister-in-law pregnant?”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye were momentarily stunned.
In the next second, Zi Yi put down her chopsticks and checked her pulse.
Lu Jingye stared at her. He had a calm expression, but he was gripping the chopsticks tightly.
After Zi Yi checked her pulse, her lips curved up and she nodded her head. “I am indeed pregnant.”
In the next second, Lu Jingye hugged her tightly.
Zi Yi could feel Lu Jingye’s excitement and similarly, she was also excited. “Let’s tell Mom the good news later.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingye hugged her for an extended period of time before releasing her and he said, “I’ll go fry two eggs for you. You have to keep up with the nutrition now that you’re pregnant.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
Lu Jingye stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Looking at his footsteps that were faster than usual, the smile on Zi Yi’s face deepened.
Soon, Lu Jingye came out with two fried eggs.
Zi Yi liked eating fried eggs more and so she ate everything under Lu Jingye’s watchful stare.
“What do you feel like eating in the afternoon? I’ll cook it for you.”
He planned to cook all her meals in the future, as he would be more at ease that way.
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “I want to eat something that is flavourful.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yunxiao who was sitting quietly and eating breakfast was in fact, very happy deep down inside. He just did not know how to express his happiness. He ended up asking, “Sister-in-law is pregnant, so can she still head over to the laboratory?”
Lu Jingye was also concerned about this. “I’ll go to the lab alone later, you should rest.”
“No, you don’t know how to refine the elements inside the meteorite. I have to personally do it.”
Having said that, she smiled and held the back of his hand. When Lu Jingye flipped his hand and grabbed her hand, she said, “Don’t worry, I have a magnetic field shield. These materials have no effect on me.”
Lu Jingye was still worried. “You have to rest.”
Lu Yunxiao also agreed. “Your body is more important.”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “In that case, I’ll teach you in the morning, while I rest in the afternoon, okay?”
“Okay.”
As such, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye were cooped up in the laboratory for the whole of the morning.
A few subordinates of the various bosses in this area had come to pay a visit. There were even some who brought gifts.
There were Shadow and Little Loli to take care of these matters and so nothing went wrong.
However, at noon, someone else came to send gifts.
The person who came was a slightly famous boss around here.
Lu Jingye was currently in the kitchen cooking, while Zi Yi was having a video call with Mrs. Lu in the living room.
When Mrs. Lu learned that Zi Yi was pregnant, her eyes turned red due to joy.
After moments of happiness, she started to get worried. “The both of you are at the Bermuda Triangle and there are enemies all around you. You have to pay more attention and don’t let those people harm you.”
