Chapter 1349 - Delirium

The atmosphere in the mansion was dark and tense after Iris and Lu Zihao fought.

Although Iris disliked this strain in the relationship between her and her brother and wanted to fix it as soon as possible, she also needed some time to process the sudden fight. Everything escalated so quickly that the two of them were already quarrelling before she knew it.

Both of them could be quite willful to a fault. It wasn't easy for others to influence their thoughts and decisions except for when they allowed it.

At this point, she was certain that her brother wouldn't change his mind so easily just like how she wouldn't change her mind easily just because of their argument.

He was blinded by revenge while she only wanted to protect everything that she built in this life, including her family with Jin Liwei. Even so, they had the same goal—to destroy all the enemies who annihilated the Vetrovs.

It was only very recently that she realized the necessity of this goal. Constantly running away from the shadows of her past life would only catch her unawares someday and might destroy everything that she treasured in this new life of hers as Long Xiulan. She couldn't allow that kind of risk to exist. If she could do something to prevent it, then she would do it.

This was what she wanted to communicate with her brother during their quarrel. She thought that she had been able to calm down enough and convey her thoughts in a clear manner, but based on his reaction, it didn't seem to be successful.

"Hard-headed brother," Iris muttered to herself while changing Little Matcha's baby onesie in the nursery room. "Why won't you listen to me? So frustrating!"

Long Jinjing was also there bottle-feeding Little Dima with Iris' breast milk. She heard what her sister said just now.

"What did you and Zihao fight about anyway?" she asked. "His already bad mood had worsened since yesterday. I couldn't take it. I asked him to chill down a bit but he took it badly. He stormed out of our room. I thought that he was going to sleep in a guest room but when I woke up this morning, he was already gone. I still don't know where he went. He won't answer my calls or messages. It was only when Bacon assured me that his uncle is safe that I stopped worrying so much about him. Well, I still worry about him but I'm too preoccupied with the twins."

Iris sighed and felt sorry for Long Jinjing. As the wife of her brother, Long Jinjing was also affected in the fight.

"Big Brother has been on edge these past few weeks. I unintentionally said something that triggered him and we ended up quarrelling. Let's just say that it got ugly. To be honest, I'm still in shock. Of course, I want to make up with him, but at the same time, I also don't want to see his face right now. I guess both of us are still upset with each other at this point, that's why he left today."

Long Jinjing pouted but still said, "It's okay, little sister. I may not know what you two fought about but I do know that my husband often acts unreasonable."

'Well, you also act unreasonable sometimes,' she added in her heart. 'You were completely unreasonable when we were younger. You've improved a lot as an adult but the trait is still there. Even though you're my blood sister, you and my husband resemble each other to the point that the two of you seem like the real siblings than the two of us, especially when it comes to troublesome personality traits like this.'

Iris had no idea about Long Jinjing's real thoughts. She only agreed that her brother was indeed oftentimes unreasonable.

"Zihao is already an adult," Long Jinjing added. "He might have a bad temper at times but he cares. You might not be his real sister but he treats you better than any of our biological brothers."

Iris didn't reply. She knew in her heart that she and her brother were truer siblings than Long Jinjing and her.

"I'm just concerned because Zihao looked like he was having a painful headache last night." Long Jinjing bit her lower lip.

"Really? Did it look bad?" Iris also became worried. She remembered that her brother didn't look alright yesterday when he left in a hurry after they fought.

"I don't know. I think so. You know him. His expression is always so difficult to read. If he looks like he's hurting, then it must really be painful for it to show on his face."

Iris muttered something in a foreign language. Long Jinjing didn't understand but it sounded like something Lu Zihao would sometimes utter when he was cursing in Russian. She wasn't 100% sure, though.
