His Genius Wife is a SuperstarHis Genius Wife is a Superstar
"I didn't choose it because of the price tag," Jin Chonglin tried explaining.
"Based on the size, then," Jin Liwei said in a cold tone.
Jin Chonglin shut up because his older brother hit the nail on the head. He chose the biggest diamond ring that the jewellery boutique had available to buy immediately.
"I won't fault you anymore about your less-than-ideal proposal but you need to learn how to protect your woman better, Chonglin," Jin Liwei said. "I've already wiped your a** so many times in the past whenever you f*cked up a relationship with a woman. But this is the last time. I have my own family to think about now. I can't always clean up after you."
Jin Chonglin remained silent, sulking a little.
"Do you understand?" Jin Liwei asked, his tone brooking no argument.
"I get it, Big Bro."
Jin Liwei stared at his younger brother for a while before nodding. "I'll take care of the headlines. But like I told you, Chonglin, this is the last time. You're a Jin. Use your status, your name, your wealth, use everything that you have at your disposal to protect your woman—if you really love her. Remember, it's easy to lose a good woman but difficult to get her back. Especially strong, independent women like my wife and her friends, including your Chen Fei. Don't make any regrets."
With that, he left his younger brother alone in the study.
Jin Chonglin sat there by himself for a few minutes, thinking about his older brother's criticisms.
It was true that his proposal was due to impulsiveness. Even his urge to have a baby with Chen Fei could also be said to be impulsive.
When he secretly bought the huge diamond ring for Chen Fei, he was excited. He had looked forward to her reaction. He had wanted to propose as soon as possible. There was a ready-made event—Liberté's launch party, so he decided to propose right there and then.
Now that he thought about it, he had been indeed extremely impulsive. His lack of careful consideration had allowed Chen Fei to suffer.
He stood up and ran out of the study to look for his fiancée. He ran for a while without any success, so he stopped and asked one of the staff members.
"Do you know where my fiancée is?"
The staff pointed a direction to him. He immediately started running again.
Finally, he reached the place where the three girl squad friends were chatting just as they were about to leave.
"Babe!"
"Huh, Chonglin?" Chen Fei was surprised at first but immediately frowned upon seeing his sweaty appearance. "Why are you running?"
Iris and Dom looked at each other. The two moved aside but didn't leave. Dom's eyes were shining as he looked back and forth between Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei. Seeing this, Iris snickered before deciding to stay as well.
Jin Chonglin didn't stop running.
"What the hell?!" Chen Fei was alarmed.
He was about to crash into her. But before she could dodge, he caught her and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, babe."
Chen Fei was about to complain about his sweaty body but swallowed the words in her throat after hearing his apology. She instantly understood why he was apologizing. Sighing, she patted his back.
"I'm fine," she said.
"I'm sorry," he insisted.
"Alright. I forgive you."
He continued hugging her for a couple more minutes before letting her go. Chen Fei pulled him to sit down before noticing that there were still two lightbulbs in the room, their eyes shining brightly on the two of them.
She rolled her eyes and waved them away. "Shoo!"
"Aaaaw~" Dom pouted.
Iris laughed before shrugging. "Let's go, Dom."
Dom pouted and muttered complaints under his breath. Iris dragged him away while chuckling.
Now that the lightbulbs had left, Chen Fei grabbed some tissues from a box nearby and helped wipe Jin Chonglin's sweaty face.
Jin Chonglin took her hand and looked at the large diamond ring on her finger. "Do you like this ring?"
"Of course," Chen Fei replied with no hesitation.
"Are you sure? If you don't like it, we'll order a customized one just for you."
She paused and observed his expression. "Did you not hear what I said to the reporters and paparazzi yesterday?"
He looked at her like a stupid idiot. To be honest, he couldn't remember all the things that she said to the media representatives yesterday. All he could remember was the awe and pride he felt while watching her annihilate the reporters and paparazzi with her savage words.
She sighed, shaking her head. "I told them that I don't care about the price of the ring. What I care about is the thought behind it. You wanted to marry me, so you immediately bought a ring to propose."
"Don't you think that I'm impulsive?"
"Of course, you're impulsive! Duh."
Her quick answer made him sulk again.
She laughed. "But I also love that about you. It makes life more exciting, don't you think?"
"Really?" he asked in an uncertain yet hopeful tone.
"Yeah. Do you think I'll bother to lie to you? If I don't like something, I'll tell it to your face."
"That's true," he said, nodding. Then he grinned and became smug again. "As expected of the woman I chose to marry! I'm still the best!"
She kicked his heel. "Don't get ahead of yourself. You know me. If you ever cheat on me or hurt me, Jin Chonglin, prepare yourself for a lifetime of revenge. If I didn't love you yet, I might just ignore you for the rest of my life. But now that you've made me fall in love with you, I won't stop until I send you to the deepest pit of hell myself. But that's only if you make the mistake of cheating and hurting me."
Jin Chonglin immediately grabbed her hand and shook his head. "I won't do that to you, babe. I love you! My heart, my body, everything is yours!"
She smirked. "Yes, you're mine."
"So…" He leaned forward and whispered to her ear, "Can we make a baby now?"
