The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 420 Lu Xingzhou, You’re Going to Be a Dad

"No need for that hassle, just use Dad’s test, I checked the instructions, you can know in a minute, and it’s pretty simple."

"Okay, I’ll listen to the wife."

"You’re such a pragmatist. Now that we have a baby, you keep calling me ’wife’ this and ’wife’ that. How come you never used to sweet-talk me like this?"

"I wanted to before, just too embarrassed. Now that you’re pregnant, I have to keep you happy every day. Supposedly, when pregnant women hear sweet nothings, they produce more dopamine."

"Bullshit." Jiang Man arched an eyebrow. "I’m not feeling happy right now."

"Hmm?" Lu Xingzhou leaned in nervously, afraid she didn’t want the child.

"How can I be happy? For ten months I can look but not touch. How frustrating is that?" Jiang Man said with a sly grin, her hand sliding onto his thigh for a moment.

"Who says you can’t touch? Feel free to touch all you want." Lu Xingzhou took her hand, instead of stopping her, he guided it further up.

"Lu Xingzhou, what are you doing? I really might lose control..."

"Then don’t control it!"

Suddenly, the man leaned over, gently wrapped his shoulders around her, and turned his head to kiss the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Man instinctively responded to him, parting her lips slightly.

She felt his hot breath and his strong heartbeat.

Even though they were both wearing sweaters, they could still feel each other’s warmth through the thick clothes.

He was like a furnace, body burning hot.

Jiang Man was quickly riled up, feeling unbearably restless.

Yet she also felt so incredibly ticklish from the kisses, as if her body had been lightly electrocuted, going limp with no strength to resist, wanting nothing more than to fall into his embrace and let him do as he pleased.

The car heater was on full blast while outside, the snowflakes grew larger.

Passing by the Maybach, a couple braving the snow on their way home were holding hands, dressed warmly.

As they passed by the car, the woman couldn’t help but glance at the luxury vehicle.

Coincidentally, the streetlight shone right on the passenger seat.

She saw a man and woman inside, passionately embracing each other.

"OMG, honey, look!"

The woman quickly tugged on her companion.

The man looked over hastily, covering his girlfriend’s eyes: "This is not for children, let’s go, let’s go quickly."

"These rich people really know how to play, doing that ’car shaking’ thing in such cold weather?"

"Corrupting public morals, make sure you don’t pick that up."

Their voices faded into the distance, but Jiang Man heard them loud and clear.

She suddenly pushed away the man kissing her, a look of grievance on her face: "Don’t set a bad example for the youngsters."

"No worries." Lu Xingzhou curved his lips upward and pulled her back into his embrace.

His other hand reached for the center control.

Click.

The privacy screen in the car immediately rolled up, including the front windshield.

Instantly, a sealed space was created inside the vehicle.

"Lu Xingzhou, I might really be pregnant, you shouldn’t play with fire."

"I know, I’ll stop at the appropriate time."

"You... mm..."

All of Jiang Man’s resistance eventually dissolved into muffled sounds of kissing.

...

Forty minutes later, the Maybach finally made its leisurely entrance into the underground parking lot of the Leston Hotel.

Jiang Man licked her slightly swollen lips.

Just now, she couldn’t recall if it was her or Lu Xingzhou who had been more intense.

But given her current condition, all she could do was kiss – nothing more.

The couple knocked on the door of the presidential suite, and Jiang Man went straight for the bathroom with two pregnancy tests in hand.

King glanced at his daughter, thinking she was in a rush to use the bathroom.

"How come you returned from Harbor City so soon?"

He thought they would stay there for a while.

"The Lu’s brain instrument project was a success, we needed to come back to handle work matters."

Lu Xingzhou replied respectfully.

However, King’s focus was on the corner of his mouth: "What’s with that?"

He pointed at Lu Xingzhou’s lip.

Lu Xingzhou was not panicked at all: "It cracked, it’s dry and cold here in the north."

"Then drink more water." King said, signaling Vermilion Bird to make some tea.

Vermilion Bird held back a smile.

Those weren’t just cracked lips, clearly they had been bitten. Who knew the young mistress could be so fierce?

"Everything went smoothly in Harbor City?" King toyed with his tobacco box, tempted to roll a cigarette.

Lu Xingzhou quickly stopped him: "Father-in-law, Manman is feeling unwell; she can’t stand the smell of smoke."

"What’s wrong with her?" King casually put the tobacco back and closed the box, not prying too much, and continued on the topic of Harbor City.

Lu Xingzhou then got serious, saying that the wedding went very well.

"However, something unexpected happened, Manman isn’t actually the child of the Jiang and Hu families."

He assumed that upon hearing this, King would be as shocked as they were at the time.

But that wasn’t the case. King was calm and collected with a serious expression, showing no signs of surprise.

Lu Xingzhou was somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that his father-in-law always knew about Manman’s background?

Or was it that the global financial magnate had great composure and wouldn’t easily show his emotions?

"What was Manman’s reaction? Was she sad?"

Right then, the tea was brought over.

King picked up the teacup, blew on it, but didn’t drink. Instead, he stared at Lu Xingzhou intently.

Lu Xingzhou thought back to Jiang Man’s reaction and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache: "Her initial reaction was indeed sadness, discomfort, and loss. But the Hu family is very fond of her, saying that even without blood ties, she is still the seventh miss of the Hu family."

"The Hu family impresses me." King’s lips curved into an ambiguous smile, leaving it unclear whether he was praising or criticizing the family.

"What are you two talking about?" As Jiang Man entered the living room, she only caught the last words of ’impresses me’ from King.

"Nothing much." King calmly interrupted, trying to change the subject.

He didn’t want to mention anything about her background in front of Manman.

"How did it go?" Lu Xingzhou was eager to know the result.

"Double lines, I really am pregnant." Jiang Man responded nonchalantly, but her heart was actually filled with a storm of elation, wanting to jump for joy.

When she saw the double lines, she sat on the toilet for quite a while.

To be a mom at 21! This was something she had never considered before.

She had thought she would never marry in her entire life, let alone have a child!

"Really?" Lu Xingzhou jumped up in excitement and quickly lifted Jiang Man into his arms horizontally.

Jiang Man clung to his neck, whispering softly, "Dad’s here, tone it down."

"What are you two whispering about?" Although King had overheard them, he didn’t catch on right away.

"Dad, you’re going to be a granddad!"

Jiang Man hopped down from Lu Xingzhou’s arms: "Lu Xingzhou, he’s going to be a daddy!"

King held his teacup, almost spilling the tea in his hand: "What? Manman, what did you say? Say it again!"
