Chapter 116 King
Inside Jenner's mansion in Los Angeles.
The Wizards vs. Rockets game was playing on TV, and it was now TNT's post-game commentary segment. O'Neal and Barkley were being silly, but Jenner didn't seem to care at all.
The table in front of her was cluttered with various snacks that she would never have touched before, some of which were already empty.
At that moment, Jenner was holding her phone and questioning, "Kuzma, what did Wang Xiucheng ask you on the court? How did you answer?"
During the game, Jenner saw Wang Xiucheng and Kuzma talking.
Jenner hadn't thought much of it at first.
But Wang Xiucheng's expression remained unpleasant afterward, and Jenna even felt that Wang Xiucheng seemed to be playing with anger, especially during that dunk over Kuzma.
This made Jenna feel a little worried.
Of course, I'm not worried about Kuzma; he's just being used as a shield.
If you don't want to go out with Booker or anyone else, you can bring out Kuzma.
Even when her older sisters invited her to their house for a gathering, and she didn't want to go, they would bring up Kuzma instead.
What she was worried about was Wang Xiucheng.
She was afraid that Kuzma's careless talk would make Wang Xiucheng overthink things.
In fact, Jenner knew that Kuzma often talked nonsense in the media.
That's why Jenner made that call to find out.
"Wang Xiucheng?"
Kuzma paused for a moment when he heard Jenna address him that.
Wang Xiucheng?
Is that the name of that Chinese person?
How did Jenna know his name?
Normally, shouldn't that Chinese person be addressed as "wang"?
While on the court, Kuzma heard his Chinese teammates address him as "Wang".
What's wrong with Jenner today?
Kuzma laughed heartily twice, and when he didn't hear a response from Jenner, he said, "He just asked me if I was your male best friend?"
Kuzma scoffed, "I think that kid seems to have a thing for you too. The newbies in the league are getting more and more outrageous..."
Jenna interrupted Kuzma, who was still rambling on, and asked in a cool voice, "What did you say to him?"
“I told you that I’m always there for you after every breakup, so what’s wrong?” Kuzma was completely unaware that Jenner was acting strangely. “I also told her that I have a room in your house.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Jenna suddenly yelled into the phone without warning.
"When did you get a room in my house? How come I didn't know?" Jenna's voice unusually hoarse, interspersed with profanities.
This stunned Kuzma; he had never seen Jenna speak like that before.
A bad feeling crept into Kuzma's heart.
"I...I just wanted to annoy that newbie, who told him to dare to covet you?" Kuzma argued as he walked further into a corner.
Kuzma heard Jenna on the phone seem to be taking deep breaths, and after about ten seconds, she calmed down.
“Listen up, Kuzma. If you ruin my plans, believe me, I won’t let you get away with it.”
After saying that, Jenna hung up the phone.
Kuzma stared at his phone, momentarily stunned.
Did she ruin her plans?
What a good thing?
Why is she so angry?
He used to say things like that, but Jenner never paid any attention.
But what's wrong with her today?
That newbie?
Kuzma thought of Wang Xiucheng.
A somewhat absurd, somewhat laughable, and somewhat comical idea suddenly popped into Kuzma's mind.
Could it be that Jenner likes that Chinese man?
How can it be!
Kuzma shook his head violently, trying to shake the thought out of his mind, but it was no use.
Even details he had previously ignored began to enter his mind.
"king?"
Kuzma's expression suddenly changed.
He remembered the new tattoo Jenna had gotten on her chest, which was a Chinese character.
Could that "王" be "wang"?
Is Jenner's tattoo because of this Chinese man?
impossible?
Kendall Jenner, she's a goddess worth hundreds of millions!
How could she possibly be interested in a Chinese man?
Is he still a rookie?
Kuzma's brow furrowed more and more as he thought about it. "Perhaps I should ask Jenna's older sisters; they might know something."
Just then, the door to the away team's locker room opened not far away, and the Rockets players and their staff filed out.
Wang Xiucheng, carrying his bag, was the last to leave with several team doctors. As they walked, Wang Xiucheng was still talking to Alex.
Wang Xiucheng's phone was ringing, but he didn't answer it.
Kuzma looked at Wang Xiucheng, wanting to grab him right now and ask him what his relationship with Jenna really was.
But having so many people was clearly inappropriate, so Kuzma could only snort and return to the locker room.
"Whose call is that? Answer it," Alex said, standing next to Wang Xiucheng while holding his various medical equipment.
He and Wang Xiucheng had become quite familiar with each other during this time, so they would sometimes joke around.
"It's not urgent, we'll talk about it later." Wang Xiucheng patted Alex, who was over fifty years old, on the back.
They soon arrived at the bus stop outside. After throwing his things on the bus, Wang Xiucheng found a corner and took out his phone, which rang again.
It's still Jenner.
Jenna had made several calls during this time, but Wang Xiucheng hadn't answered any of them.
Before Wang Xiucheng could even speak after the call was connected, Jenna's voice, trembling with tears, came through the phone.
"Why aren't you answering my calls? Kuzma is talking nonsense, don't believe him. Where are you? I need to see you."
“I just finished a match and I’ve been with my teammates. How can I answer the phone?” Wang Xiucheng said after Jenna stopped talking.
He just didn't mention Kuzma.
But Jenner thought Wang Xiucheng was still angry. "Honey, when are you coming to Houston? I want to see you."
"We'll take off as soon as Silas gets back." Wang Xiucheng checked the time, estimating that the post-match press conference should be almost over.
"See you in Houston then." Jenna seemed to have a lot more to say, but decided to hang up the phone.
Ultimately, a phone call was inconvenient, so Jenna decided to explain to Wang Xiucheng in person.
Jenna, who was in her Los Angeles mansion, hung up the phone, but became increasingly angry, so she called Kuzma again.
Kuzma was packing his things in the locker room when his phone rang, which was on the chair.
Bill, who had just finished showering and was only wearing a scarf around his lower body, happened to be standing next to her. He glanced at her phone and saw that the caller ID showed Jenna, so he picked up the phone.
Bill stood up on the chair, held the phone high, and shouted, "Quiet down, everyone! Kuzma's dear best friend, Jenna, is calling."
As soon as he said that, the noisy locker room quieted down. Even the young team members, including Rui Hachimura, who were taking a shower, walked out shirtless.
Rui Hachimura still had the foam on his head.
"Stop messing around, give me back my phone." Kuzma wanted his phone, but Bill wouldn't give it to him.
"Would you like to hear Ms. Jenna's voice?" Bill looked around at everyone, from the players and team doctors to the coaches, all of whom were staring at each other with burning eyes.
“Enough, Bill,” Kuzma shouted.
Normally, Kuzma would just go along with Bill, and he might even be quite pleased with himself.
But today he sensed that Jenna's mood was off.
But Bill is the team leader, and even he doesn't dare to use force.
Just as he was about to stand on the table and forcibly take the phone back, Bill answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
The locker room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; it seemed no one wanted to miss a single word from Jenner.
Jenna's sexy voice quickly came through the phone: "Kuzma, remember this, we're just friends. Don't go around spreading rumors about our relationship. My house has never had a room for you, not before, and it never will."
With a snap, the phone was hung up.
Bill held up his phone, blinked, and didn't move.
None of the twenty-odd people in the room reacted in time.
Rui Hachimura's eyes were covered in foam, but he stood there motionless like a statue.
Several seconds later, Kuzma was the first to react.
"Jenna's been drinking and acting crazy again..." Kuzma explained awkwardly, then grabbed the phone and left the locker room.
Bill coughed awkwardly twice, "Wrong number, that wasn't Jenna. I was wondering why her voice sounded off."
……
At a private civilian airport in Houston, Jenna's phone rang as soon as her plane landed.
Jenna glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.
The caller was her older sister, Kim Kardashian.
Jenna, who didn't want to answer the phone, eventually picked it up anyway.
"Kendall, where are you?" Kim Kardashian's voice came through the phone, accompanied by the sounds of children playing.
"I'm in Los Angeles."
"Don't lie to me. Your plane isn't even in Los Angeles. How could you possibly be there?" Kim Kardashian said in a somewhat exasperated voice. "Tell me the truth, why have you been avoiding us lately?"
Jenna took a deep breath and touched her belly. "Sis, I'm pregnant."
Snapped!
Something seemed to have broken on the phone, and Kim Kardashian seemed to have moved to a quieter place to hold the phone.
"Pregnant? Whose child? Booker's? Have you thought this through?"
Kim Kardashian's barrage of questions suggested she didn't believe it.
When her second sister finally stopped asking questions, Jenna replied, "The child isn't Booker's. He doesn't deserve it."
"Whose is that?" Kim Kardashian: "You can't just bring a child back to our family like that."
Jenna was a little angry. What did she mean by "casually"?
“I don’t want to say yet,” Jenna replied.
She didn't know if Wang Xiucheng wanted to have relationships with her sisters.
“Little sister, I’m not trying to interfere in your affairs. Since you don’t like Booker, then let’s break up. It doesn’t matter. But if you want to have this child, then you must let us know who the father is.”
Kim Kardashian said seriously, "So, bring your man back, at least let us know who he is."
Jenner checked the time; the Rockets' private jet should have arrived some time ago.
Jenna then said, "I understand, I'll ask him."
Before her older sister Kim Kardashian could speak again, Jenner hung up the phone and stood up, carrying a package.
After exchanging a few more words with her bodyguard, Jenner finally disembarked from the plane.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jenna shivered. Then she saw Wang Xiucheng waiting in the distance.
Instantly, Jenna's eyes filled with a layer of aggrieved tears.
Jenna carefully disembarked from the plane while keeping an eye on Wang Xiucheng, as if afraid he would run away.
Before Jenna had even completely disembarked from the plane, the bodyguard at the exit behind her started calling.
Jenna seemed to sense something and turned around to look. The bodyguard also glanced at Jenna before answering the phone. "Ms. Kim Kardashian, hello, Ms. Jenna? I don't know where she is. I've quit."
Jenna then turned her head away, satisfied.
Wang Xiucheng took a few steps forward and came directly to Jenna.
Jenna threw the package on the ground, grabbed Wang Xiucheng by the neck, and bit him directly on the mouth.
Wang Xiucheng's face was contorted with pain, but he didn't say a word.
Pregnant women do seem to have unstable emotions.
Several minutes later, Jenner finally let go of Wang Xiucheng: "Kuzma is just a friend of mine..."
Wang Xiucheng put his arm around Jenna and interrupted her: "I know, I was just asking on the court, who knew he would brag about your relationship with me, and I got carried away and dunked on him. By the way, wasn't that dunk cool?"
"Of course he's handsome." Jenna looked up at Wang Xiucheng's chin, her face full of girlish charm, and hugged Wang Xiucheng's waist tightly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, it's cold outside, get in the car quickly."
Mawei, who was waiting next to the car, immediately opened the car door.
Jenna looked delighted when she heard how Mawei addressed her.
Wang Xiucheng glared at Ma Wei.
Stop calling me Ma Wei, call me a bootlicker instead.
Ma Wei seemed oblivious to Wang Xiucheng's gaze, picked up Jenna's bag, and even waved to the people on Jenna's private jet.
After closing the car door, Ma Wei got in and quickly started the vehicle, heading towards Sugar Land.
"My sister wants to see you."
A few minutes later, Jenna suddenly spoke.
Jenna knew she couldn't keep her pregnancy a secret forever, and Wang Xiucheng's existence would eventually be revealed to them; who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.
Jenna was just afraid that her sisters, who were good at creating hype, would take advantage of Wang Xiucheng.
After all, Wang Xiucheng represents a huge market of over a billion people. If they do something outrageous, or something that displeases or even disgusts Wang Xiucheng, Jenna is afraid that he will still be angry with her.
"Your sister?" Wang Xiucheng was taken aback. "What does she want with me?"
Jenna remained silent for a few seconds, unsure how to respond.
“Then let’s meet,” Wang Xiucheng replied.
When Jenna heard Wang Xiucheng say that, she knew that he did it for her sake.
"If it's not enough, we'll have to wait until the off-season," Wang Xiucheng added.
"Yes, I know." Jenna held Wang Xiucheng's hand, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.
Mawei glanced at Jenna's petite, womanly appearance in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile.
My brother is awesome, even Jenner is completely subservient to him.
……
Next, the Rockets will host the Mavericks, Timberwolves, and 76ers in Houston.
Unsurprisingly, the Rockets lost to these three playoff teams.
And they all lost miserably.
The only bright spot is that the Rockets' young players are performing better and better.
Two days later, the Rockets faced their first opponent in five away games: the Spurs.
