Lu Zihao froze and stared at his wife in disbelief. He couldn't believe all the foul words flowing out of his usually gentle wife's mouth.
It wasn't like he had never heard her curse. Of course, he did, but this was the first time that she said so many foul words in quick succession.
This was also the first time that he realized that she could be a little…scary.
Huh?! Wait a minute!
There was no way that he, Nikolai Vetrov, would feel scared of a small woman who wasn't his mother (Madam Vetrova) even if that woman was his wife!
If another person cursed at him like this, he would have already taught them a harsh and painful lesson but this was his wife. Not to mention that she was about to give birth to his children.
Although he didn't like what Long Jinjing yelled at him just now especially when she called him a useless man, he wasn't an immature person to argue with her in this kind of stressful situation.
Sense returned to him. He calmed down but not completely. Long Jinjing's whimpers and cries of pain continued to affect his self-control but he didn't want to leave her side while she gave birth to his babies. What he needed to do was try to reduce her stress like the doctor said and become her source of comfort like Long Jinjing herself said.
It was hard for someone like him to do these things, but for the sake of his wife, he would do it! Dammit, he would fucking do it! Even if she continued raging at him with a storm of foul words.
"It's so painful, Lu Zihao! I won't let you t-touch, no—I won't let you fuck me anymore after this! Damn you!"
Lu Zihao's mouth twitched. "I know that you don't mean what you're spouting right now. We'll talk about this unreasonable declaration of yours another time."
Long Jinjing glared at him and slapped his hand that he was using to hold her. The pain and stress were so overwhelming that all she wanted to do was to release her pent-up frustrations on her husband.
She loved the man so much, but at the moment, she actually wanted to bite his head off. He felt so aggravating to her right now. It was as if each word that he spoke was intended to infuriate her to no end.
She felt so aggrieved and indignant at the same time. Her emotions were all over the place. This was the first time that she felt so out of control, even more than when she fell so completely in love with him. The increasingly painful labour pains weren't helping either. In fact, the pain was only magnifying her negative emotions.
Lu Zihao could only consider himself to be unlucky that he was the best target right now for her to vent her negative emotions.
"Unreasonable?!" Long Jinjing's shrill voice filled the delivery room. "You're calling ME unreasonable?! How dare you?!!! Listen to me—"
"Okay, that's enough, Jinjing. I won't be an asshole to the doctor and her team anymore. So can you just calm the fuck down? You can shout at me all you want after this but doing this right now is not good for you or the babies."
He tried his hardest to make his tone as calm as possible to avoid agitating her any further but it seemed that he was really bad at this. She actually became angrier. What the hell? He didn't understand what he was doing wrong.
"Shut up, jerk!!! Don't tell me to calm down! I was trying to calm down but you just had to stress me out by trying to fight with the doctor and her team! Are you trying to anger me to death? Is that what you're trying to do?! Argh! It hurts!!! Lu Zihao, come here and give birth to your babies yourself!!! There's no way! No fucking way in hell that I'm letting you get me pregnant again!!!"
"Okay, okay," he tried reassuring her. "If you don't want to get pregnant again, then don't. These twins are enough. They're already more than enough! Jinjing, just fucking calm down, okay?"
Tears flowed down her face. "You bastard, Niko—Zihao! You don't want to have kids with me anymore, is that it?! I knew it! You don't like me anymore 'cuz I've become so fat and ugly! Fine! If that's what you want! Go get a vasectomy! If you dare impregnate other women besides me while we're married, see if I don't chop off your dick myself! Aaaaaaah!!! Doctor, how long until I give birth?"
Lu Zihao was pushed aside as the doctor took over in comforting his wife. He caught the nurses throwing him looks of disdain beneath their fear of him as they wiped his wife's sweat and helped her drink some water.
This was the first time since being reborn as Lu Zihao that he felt so helpless…and yes, useless. Hearing his wife's painful screams filling the room felt like his heart was being squeezed.
Gritting his teeth with determination, he took the towel and glass of water from the nurses. Even when Long Jinjing continuing scolding him, he refused to back down. He treated her curses as farts—unpleasant but harmless and could still be ignored.
Throughout Long Jinjing's pregnancy, almost everything had been smooth sailing compared to his sister's experience. Lu Zihao even felt smug every time he watched Jin Liwei suffering the full brunt of his sister's extreme mood swings.
Long Jinjing didn't have the same extreme mood swings. She remained her usual gentle self.
This was why Lu Zihao felt so caught off guard at his wife's sudden mood swing. And it wasn't just a simple loss of temper either. She was full-on cursing at him using foul words that he normally used on a daily basis. It felt like his own words were coming back right at this moment to bite him in the ass.
Instead of irritation or anger, amusement filled him. His furious wife looked so adorable while cursing him.
"What are you laughing at?!" Long Jinjing demanded. "You still dare to laugh at me?!"
He chuckled and kissed her on the mouth. "There will be no other women. I can only fuck you now, woman. So you have to take responsibility.. Only you, wife."
