His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
chapter-1113

It soon became clear to Jin Liwei after listening to his wife that she wasn't really upset at their AI son for taking a valuable weapon from Shadow Winds. She couldn't care less about it. What made her upset instead was the fact that her older brother had yet to wake up from his comatose state. Her anxiety from the waiting plus the stress of her own bed rest kept on piling up until it all exploded today.

Jin Liwei didn't argue with his wife at all and just let her vent her feelings. However, he still made sure to keep a close eye on her condition. After all, it was not good for her overall health and that of their babies if she got too emotional. Fortunately, she managed to calm down by herself in the end.

Iris sighed. "This inability to control my emotions is getting too out of hand. It's exhausting. For me, for you, for our children, and everyone else around us. Darling, do you think that I'll be able to control my temper properly again after I give birth?"

"En," he replied without hesitation.

"What if I don't get better?"

"That's fine, too. Wife, I'll still love you even if you turn into a foul-mouthed shrew."

She smacked him in the chest before laughing. "What foul-mouthed shrew? You're terrible."

His response was to give her a smacking kiss on the mouth.

She laughed even harder. It was as if her emotional tirade earlier didn't happen at all. "Don't worry, husband. I'll also still love you even if you turn into a balding old man with a pot belly who keeps on annoying everyone with your corny dad jokes."

Laughter rumbled from his (so far) tight and fit six-pack abs to his wide and hard chest. "I hope so, wife." Then he became serious. "I would be heartbroken if you ever stop loving me."

She snuggled closer to him. "That won't happen. You are the love of my life, Jin Liwei."

"As you are mine, Evelina. Mrs. Jin. Lover. Wife. Partner. Mother of my children."

Her emotions were once again threatening to burst out of her control. Tears escaped from her eyes and soaked the front of Jin Liwei's shirt. He took a piece of tissue from the bedside table and wiped her tears while rubbing her back with his other hand.

They remained in this companionable silence until she fell asleep in his embrace. This, too, had become somewhat of a routine for them. She would become emotional about something and exhaust herself while he comforted her and waited for her to sleep. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

"Excuse me, Daddy," Ketchup whispered. "You have an incoming call from Atty. Kang Huizhong. Does Daddy want to answer it? Meow~"

"Not right now. Send him a message that I'll call him back later."

"Okie dokie, Daddy! Meow~"

Jin Liwei accompanied his sleeping wife for ten more minutes before carefully leaving her in bed. Once he moved to their suite's living area, he called back his lawyer and they talked about his lawsuit against Rose Young and several available options on how to help acquit Zhu Ning.

Both cases had their own respective challenges.

Rose Young was still missing and wanted by the authorities. She was also wanted by all of them, of course. He and his brother-in-law harboured a deep grudge against her for triggering his wife's recklessness that almost resulted to the miscarriage of their twin babies that eventful night. The best case scenario for them was for Shadow Winds to capture her first and "teach her a lesson" before maybe handing her to the authorities...or not. However, if the police caught her before them, then that would also be acceptable, although barely enough to satisfy their grudge.

Then there was also the unknown, mysterious group that rescued her. They already confirmed that the group was highly dangerous through the shocking murder of the four young men who were Rose Young's paid accomplices. Dealing with such a deadly group needed more than extra caution from all of them who were involved in this case.

As for Zhu Ning's case, it was simpler. All they needed was the appropriate evidence to prove that she wasn't the mastermind behind the bombing incident. Jin Liwei also had some grudge against Zhu Ning for how she insulted his wife before.

If it were up to him, he wouldn't want to help the old bitch. Let her rot in jail for all he cared.

This time, however, he had to put his grudge aside (temporarily, at least) to fulfill his wife's request. Iris made a deal with Long Jian back then. Since she was unable to fulfill it right now due to her health condition, he would have to carry it out on her behalf instead. Nevertheless, he planned on giving Zhu Ning a firm warning not to piss him off by insulting his wife again or he would personally make her life so difficult that she would wish to be back in jail for comfort's sake.

After the call with Atty. Kang Huizhong, Jin Liwei rested on the couch.

"Bacon."

"Father."

"Don't mind what your mom said earlier. She wasn't angry at you."

Bacon didn't reply right away. Then he asked, "Was Bacon wrong, Father? I only want to give Mother and Father presents. Bacon doesn't want to upset Mother."

"I know, son. But next time, ask your Uncle Zihao's permission first before taking anything from his belongings, alright?"

"Understood, Father."

"By the way, you said that you paid for the katana with your own money. How much did you pay for it?"

His AI son didn't answer right away. Jin Liwei started to have a bad feeling. "Bacon, how much?"

"One…."

"One hundred thousand? RMB or dollars?"

Silence.

"Bacon?"

"1 RMB."

Jin Liwei blinked a few times. "Did you forget some zeroes?"

"…no…maybe?"

Jin Liwei sighed. The kid was indeed his wife's child. The mother and son were too influenced by Grandpa Lu's shameless teachings.

"Alright. Don't worry about it anymore. I'll be the one to explain about the katana to your Uncle Zihao when he wakes up. Go return to Shadow Winds and finish what your mom asked you to investigate with ShaWn."

"Understood, Father. Thank you. Bacon will leave now. Please take care of Mother. I'll be back before my curfew. Goodbye."
