NBA's Chinese King: The more girlfriends I have, the stronger I become.

Chapter 139 Holds a Surprise

A luxury restaurant in downtown Cleveland.

Wang Xiucheng and Kylie Jenner were sitting by the window, with the bustling Cleveland night view unfolding before them.

Wang Xiucheng looked at the night view, but Kylie Jenner only looked at Wang Xiucheng.

"You really booked this place? How much did it cost?" Wang Xiucheng asked in shock.

This restaurant, in terms of both location and decor, is clearly not cheap. Wang Xiucheng estimated that a meal here might cost several thousand dollars, and that wouldn't even leave you full.

As for the cost of renting this place outright, Wang Xiucheng dared not even think about it.

“This little bit of money is nothing to you.” Kylie Jenner personally cut a Kobe filet mignon and placed it in front of Wang Xiucheng.

Wang Xiucheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's really good to be rich!"

Wang Xiucheng was considered a moderately wealthy man, with several million dollars in his account, but it was absolutely impossible for him to book the entire place just for a Western meal.

My sister-in-law is probably richer than I thought, and a spendthrift.

To book this place outright, you obviously need to make a reservation well in advance.

In other words, if he didn't come to have dinner with Kylie Jenner today, the money she spent on booking the restaurant would be wasted and wouldn't be refunded.

Wang Xiucheng picked up the knife and fork to try them out, but in the end he asked for a pair of chopsticks instead.

Even though he has been in the United States for several years, Wang Xiucheng still prefers to use chopsticks, no matter what he eats.

Normally, if someone tried to eat steak with chopsticks in such a high-end restaurant, the manager would likely ask that person to leave.

But the manager now personally brought a pair of silver chopsticks to Wang Xiucheng with both hands and a smile on his face.

Wang Xiucheng was really hungry. He had only drunk a few bottles of water after the match and his stomach was rumbling.

There were no bananas in the Cleveland locker room, only some snacks like cookies.

Eating more of that stuff won't help; drinking water will only make my stomach feel worse.

It's not easy for Wang Xiucheng to have persevered this long.

The steak was already cut, and Wang Xiucheng didn't stand on ceremony, finishing the whole plate of steak in just a few bites.

Then, while chewing, she looked up at Kylie Jenner and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Kylie Jenner watched Wang Xiucheng eat with dreamy eyes, and when she suddenly heard Wang Xiucheng's words, she immediately handed the steak in front of her to him.

He even said to the manager in the distance, "Hurry up, can't you see we've finished eating?"

"It'll be ready soon." The manager immediately went to the kitchen with a smile to urge them on.

Wang Xiucheng wasn't being pretentious; they were all family, so there was no need for formalities.

So Wang Xiucheng quickly finished the steak.

It has to be said that the only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.

This steak was indeed the best Wang Xiucheng had ever eaten in the United States.

Silently memorizing the restaurant's address, she vowed to bring Green and Shen Jing to eat there tomorrow.

After eating for about twenty minutes with his head down, Wang Xiucheng finally felt that his stomach was not so uncomfortable anymore.

Therefore, he slowed down his eating speed.

It has to be said that the biggest problem with Western food is the small portion size. Although it looks exquisite, sometimes it's only a bite-sized portion, which is obviously not enough for a player like Wang Xiucheng.

Kylie Jenner kept staring at Wang Xiucheng, occasionally taking a sip of red wine, as if Wang Xiucheng was the more appealing food.

"Aren't you annoyed by staring at me like that?" Wang Xiucheng didn't drink alcohol, but rather cola.

There's a dunk contest tomorrow, and although Wang Xiucheng doesn't think a little alcohol will affect him, he's decided not to drink.

"Not at all. How could I be annoyed when you're so handsome?" Kylie Jenner blinked, looking completely satisfied.

Wang Xiucheng shook his head helplessly.

My sister-in-law really dares to say anything.

After about an hour, Wang Xiucheng finally felt a bit full, so he and Kylie Jenner got up and left the restaurant.

Wang Xiucheng specifically asked Kylie Jenner where she was staying and discovered that she was also staying at the hotel the league had booked for the rookies.

Kylie Jenner owns many luxury cars, especially sports cars, but today she specially drove a Rolls-Royce.

And judging from the license plate, it clearly came from Los Angeles.

Even with Wang Xiucheng's size, the car wasn't cramped at all.

Without using any driver or bringing any bodyguards, Kylie Jenner drove herself back to the hotel.

Then she tossed the car keys to the person in charge of parking at the entrance, and Kylie Jenner once again straddled Wang Xiucheng's arm as they entered the hotel elevator.

"Which floor do you live on?" Wang Xiucheng asked as they entered the elevator.

Kylie Jenner didn't answer; instead, she pressed the button for the 12th floor.

“I like the number 12,” Kylie Jenner said softly, looking down.

Wang Xiucheng nodded, saying that he lived on the 23rd floor and could take his sister-in-law there first.

I don't know if it was intentional on the part of the league, but they put these rookies on the 23rd floor. Maybe it reflects their expectations for them.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 12st floor.

Kylie Jenner pulled Wang Xiucheng out of the elevator and arrived at the door of 1212.

Seeing that Kylie Jenner had successfully swiped her card to open the door, Wang Xiucheng was about to say goodbye and return to the elevator when he grabbed Kylie Jenner's hand.

"Please don't go. Can you stay with me?"

Kylie Jenner suddenly blushed and looked up at Wang Xiucheng.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Kylie Jenner's eyes were a little glazed, and she gripped Wang Xiucheng's large hand tightly, as if afraid he would leave.

Wang Xiucheng was slightly taken aback. What was Kylie Jenner up to?

If I go in there, it's hard to imagine something happening between a man and a woman alone together.

But he was her sister's boyfriend.

Although Wang Xiucheng has many older sisters, in his parents' eyes, Jenna is the only one they recognize, and she is even pregnant with their child.

Doesn't Kylie Jenner know this?

do not know?

Wang Xiucheng suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake.

Frowning slightly, Wang Xiucheng tentatively asked, "Kelly, do you not know who I am?"

Kylie Jenner, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, nodded with a look of infatuation: "I know, you're Wang Xiucheng, you're this year's best rookie, you're Chinese, I know all that, I just like you."

Wang Xiucheng took a deep breath. Sure enough, his sister-in-law had no idea about his relationship with Jenna.

In other words, Jenner hasn't told her family about her situation yet.

No wonder Jenner always looks impatient and even a little irritated whenever her sisters are mentioned.

Wang Xiucheng thought her unusual mood was due to her pregnancy, but it turned out to be something else entirely.

Since Jenna herself wouldn't say it, Wang Xiucheng couldn't say it himself either.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiucheng said softly, "Kelly, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of. I'll head back now. Thank you for the Western meal; I'll remember it."

Wang Xiucheng gently released Kylie Jenner's hand, patted her head, and then turned and walked to the elevator door.

No one was using the elevator at that time, so Wang Xiucheng pressed a button, the elevator door opened, and Wang Xiucheng went straight inside and pressed the number 23.

Kylie Jenner stood at the doorway, her hands dangling in front of her, but that warm, large hand had already been withdrawn.

A sudden feeling of emptiness washed over her, and Kylie Jenner could no longer hold back.

In an instant, her eyes were filled with tears.

She was rejected!

This was the first time in her life that she had been rejected by a man.

It was the first time he had realized that being rejected could hurt so much.

Taking out her phone, Kylie Jenner choked up and said, "Sis, Wang Xiucheng rejected me. Why? Why doesn't he like me?"

"Slow down, what's wrong? Didn't you say you were going out to eat? Why did you refuse?" Kim Kardashian's voice came through the phone.

Kylie Jenner slammed the door shut, and her voice could no longer be heard in the hallway.

Wang Xiucheng quickly returned to his room.

Without turning on the lights, Wang Xiucheng sat on the sofa by the moonlight.

Ma Xiaoxuan and Ma Wei did not accompany her on this trip to Cleveland.

She had some business matters to attend to in China, so the siblings took Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma back to China for a rare vacation.

Wang Xiucheng only brought the Wu brothers, Wu Di and Wu Jia, with him this time.

However, Wang Xiucheng would not stay with them; instead, he booked another room for them.

Taking off his coat and tossing it aside, Wang Xiucheng couldn't help but smile wryly.

It turns out Kylie Jenner had feelings for him.

I thought she just wanted to treat me to dinner, but it turns out there was more to it than that.

Oh, my damn charm.

If something really happened between him and Kylie Jenner, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

Especially since Jenna is pregnant, if it affects the baby, Wang Xiucheng will probably regret it to death.

Just then, Wang Xiucheng's phone rang.

He pulled out his phone from his clothes, glanced at the number, and saw it was Jenna.

Wang Xiucheng quickly and guiltily answered the video call.

"Jenna, aren't you asleep yet?" Wang Xiucheng pretended to yawn.

Jenna in the video didn't speak immediately. Instead, she looked around Wang Xiucheng with some suspicion. When she realized it was indeed a hotel, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jenner watched the Rising Stars Challenge that night, she noticed that many celebrities were in the audience.

It's one thing for everyone else, but Swift and her younger sister were both there.

This gave Jenna a strange sense of danger.

With these concerns in mind, Jenna finally called Wang Xiucheng now.

This timing clearly also implies a check-up.

Seeing that Wang Xiucheng was indeed staying obediently in the hotel, Jenna softened her tone.

"I miss you, I want to see you," Jenna said, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

Wang Xiucheng felt somewhat helpless. Jenna was already more than three months pregnant. Although her belly wasn't very noticeable yet, Jenna's emotions were clearly more easily affected.

Neither Wang Xiucheng nor Jenna had any experience in this area.

So both of them were very careful.

Jenner really wanted to watch the Rising Stars Challenge and tomorrow's Slam Dunk Contest, but Wang Xiucheng declined.

He himself remembers how the two of them met.

That was when Wang Xiucheng tackled Jenner to save the ball.

If this were to happen again, it would be something that neither Wang Xiucheng nor Jenna could bear.

“After the dunk contest ends tomorrow, I’ll treat Green and Shen Jing to dinner, and then I’ll fly to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow to be with you. On the 25th, I’ll fly directly to Orlando to join the team. Is that alright?” Wang Xiucheng said after calculating the schedule.

There will be a five or six-day break after the All-Star Weekend, which is a rare rest time for many players.

Many players also take their families on vacation.

"Really?" Jenna was visibly happy when she heard Wang Xiucheng say that. "Then I'll have them pick you up, and you can come directly on my plane."

"Okay," Wang Xiucheng agreed.

I can finally ride in Jenner's private jet.

This was actually Wang Xiucheng's first time riding on Jenna's private jet.

"Xiu Cheng, do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Jenna suddenly asked on the phone.

Wang Xiucheng was stunned; he hadn't thought of that.

I'm just a child myself!

"They're all good, I like them both," was the only answer Wang Xiucheng could give.

Jenna suddenly got excited in the video and laughed for a long time before she even said anything.

"You know, both LeBron James and Stephen Curry were born at Akron Maternity Hospital. I'm thinking, if it's a boy, let's go to Akron Maternity Hospital to have the baby, what do you say?"

"The child's father is an NBA player, so it would be a real shame not to nurture him."

"It's just that Akron Maternity Hospital now requires booking at least several months in advance. Hmm, I'll call tomorrow."

Jenna talked for a long time, and Wang Xiucheng was so surprised that his mouth could fit an egg.

And this thing?

LeBron James and Stephen Curry were actually born in the same hospital?

No wonder these two have a good relationship; they have such a history.

This hospital must be feeling proud of it too; no wonder they require advance booking.

Wang Xiucheng nodded directly: "You can make the decision."

Jenna laughed even more happily.

It wasn't because Wang Xiucheng agreed to give birth at Akron Maternity Hospital, but because she had just said, "Let's go to Akron Maternity Hospital to give birth."

This means that Wang Xiucheng is willing to go to the hospital to accompany her.

At that time, Wang Xiucheng was also in the off-season.

"You know what? I've been dreaming about you with long hair lately, but I can't see it clearly," Jenna muttered to herself.

"That's easy, I'll just leave it for you to see."

Wang Xiucheng touched his short hair.

Come to think of it, I've never actually had long hair.

When I was a child, my school didn't allow it. After I went to the United States, I had no interest in long hair at all, and I always felt that it was a bit effeminate.

"Really?" Jenna blinked and blew a kiss to the screen.

"You know, when I was a child, there was a time..."

Then Jenna started rambling again, and before she knew it, Wang Xiucheng's snoring started, and Jenna hung up the phone, satisfied.

After the phone call was disconnected, Wang Xiucheng opened his eyes and sat up.

Otherwise, Jenner might not have hung up the phone for a long time.

Wang Xiucheng didn't sleep; instead, he thought of Jiang Yan.

In fact, her pregnancy was only a few days different from Jenner's, so she should have already found out she was pregnant by then.

But she never told Wang Xiucheng about it. If Wang Xiucheng hadn't called her during the Chinese New Year and told her she was alright, she would have really started to overthink things.

"Perhaps she didn't want me to know, afraid that I would take the child from her, and just wanted to raise the child herself."
