Long Jinjing's next furious tirade got stuck in her throat after hearing what her husband said just now. She stared at him and could see the clear amusement in his eyes despite the rest of his expression remaining unreadable as usual. Before she knew it, her entire body turned redder and not because of the labour pains but due to shyness instead.
"Y-you…stop it," she mumbled but her mouth was already curving up.
The doctor and her team looked at each other. If not for their remaining fear for Lu Zihao, they would have already rolled their eyes at the scene playing in front of them. Well, they did roll their eyes inside their minds.
Even so, the female nurses couldn't help but steal a few glances at Lu Zihao. He was extremely scary with all his scars and huge muscled body, not to mention his threatening aura and rude attitude. Regardless of all these shortcomings, Lu Zihao was without a doubt an attractive man. He oozed masculinity in a way that normal men couldn't rival.
He had a different kind of attractiveness compared to Jin Liwei. CEO Jin was the cold, polished, handsome and perfect type of dream man while Lu Zihao was the rough, dangerous, sinful yet hot type of lover.
The way he spouted foul words was offensive yet also sexy at the same time. If Lu Zihao weren't so scary, the nurses might even entertain indecent thoughts about him, especially since Long Jinjing seemed to be the timid type which was unlike her confident and brutally honest half-sister, Iris Long.
If there were any mistress wannabes, they would certainly feel that Long Jinjing was easier to contend with compared to Iris Long.
Long Jinjing seemed like the type to be a martyr wife and endure emotional torture rather than openly confront her husband's mistress. On the other hand, Iris Long already had a history of getting into actual physical fights with her enemies, not the mention that she had a straightforward personality and a poisonous tongue that would hit opponents where they hurt the most.
If anyone dared to have any designs on Jin Liwei, Iris Long would surely not sit still and take things lying down. Nobody would be surprised at all if in addition to eliminating the mistress, she would also destroy her husband Jin Liwei for betraying her. Despite successfully building an elegant goddess reputation after her major comeback, people still remembered her wild days where she caused chaos left and right as a spoiled young miss.
Compared to her, Long Jinjing didn't look to be the confrontational type at all. Today, however, the doctor and her team learned that she wasn't as sweet and innocent as she appeared.
All the foul words flying out of her mouth as she cursed her own husband were too shocking. The gap between her meek appearance and the explicitness of the words was too big.
They realized that Long Jinjing wasn't that simple after all. Heck, if they thought about it more carefully, she was actually quite abnormal for marrying a dangerous-looking man like Lu Zihao.
As expected, both the Long sisters weren't normal at all. They successfully snagged two of the country's most eligible bachelors, married them, and even produced twins each.
These were the nurses' thoughts. They could only admire the sisters, Iris Long and Long Jinjing, for being capable.
The doctor didn't care too much about gossip-like thoughts like these. She had already seen and experienced a lot ever since working as a live-in medical professional at Dragon Palace Home #10.
To be honest, compared to Lu Zihao or even Jin Liwei, the doctor was the most scared of Iris Long. The part-time members of the medical team didn't know the truth but she did.
The real boss in this place was Iris Long.
It wasn't only because Jin Liwei handed her this much power. On the contrary, the doctor noticed that everyone in the mansion genuinely respected her status as the mistress not just because she was the master's wife but because of her own capabilities.
Their household's situation was more like both Jin Liwei and Iris Long shared the status as equal heads of the family, unlike other normal families where the husband or father was the undisputed head of the family while the wife or mother took the supporting role.
Back to the present, the doctor called for everyone's attention and forced them to focus on their current job—assisting Long Jinjing in giving birth.
"Get ready, everyone. This looks like it will be a short labour."
Long Jinjing looked surprised and relieved at the same time. "R-really? Mine won't take as long as my sister's long labour?"
"I think so, Mrs. Lu." The doctor glanced at Lu Zihao and did her best not to shudder from fright. "Mr. Lu, please conduct yourself properly and don't disrupt me or my team while we're helping your wife give birth. I really won't hesitate to kick you out of the delivery room if you make any trouble."
Lu Zihao scowled but he still grunted his assent.
Everyone was relieved.
Long Jinjing gave him a serious look. "Don't make trouble!"
He snorted but caught himself when his wife's glare turned fierce once again. He coughed and did his best to appear as non-threatening as possible. To be honest, it wasn't very easy especially since he couldn't completely calm himself down while watching his own wife suffer these damned labour pains.
"Ugh!" Long Jinjing clutched her swollen stomach before looking at the doctor in panic. "I…I think I need to go to the toilet first."
"Do you need to urinate?" the doctor asked.
"N-no…I think…uh, I need to uh…you know."
"You want to poo?" Lu Zihao asked.
Long Jinjing looked embarrassed but still nodded. He was about to help her but she pushed him away. Although they were husband and wife, she still felt embarrassed about tackling certain topics like this. She preferred to let a nurse accompany her to the toilet than her husband.
"Ugh! I really need to go…to the t-toilet now."
The doctor held her down. "I'm afraid that's not poo you're feeling, Mrs. Lu, but the head of your first baby about to come out."
Long Jinjing had no time to think about anything anymore because a wave of strong contractions assaulted her.
