His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
chapter-366

The next day, the penthouse was awash with activity. Everyone gathered around the kitchen island for breakfast.

Yi Mei and the cook missed taking care of their young miss, so they went all out in cooking delicious breakfast dishes. It was a feast. Actually, it was pretty heavy for breakfast but nobody complained. Everybody ate with gusto, especially the glutton Dom who consumed food like a black hole.

Grandpa Lu's delighted, booming voice was the loudest among them. He was currently playing with Little Jun who sat on his lap. He refused to let the toddler go. Little Jun also wanted to stay with his great-grandpa who he found very funny.

There was a TV playing the morning news mounted on the farthest wall of the kitchen. For the most part, they weren't paying attention to it until….

"The identity of musician Iris Long's fiancé has now reportedly been revealed as Lu Zihao, the grandson of legendary business genius Sir Lu Jianhong. Sir Lu Jianhong is one of the founders of multinational enterprise Jin Corporation, the current number one company in the country. Several witnesses claim that Sir Lu Jianhong himself confirmed that Iris Long is engaged to his own grandson during last night's birthday party of Iris Long's father, Long Tengfei who is also the President-CEO of Long Industries…"

A dumpling fell out of Dom's chopsticks and landed back in his bowl. He gasped loudly, and immediately looked at his sir boss. Yi Mei, the cook and the other household staff also looked similarly surprised and confused.

Jin Liwei's expression was frightening to look at. He looked at the TV as if it was the greatest enemy of his life. Then he turned his head and glared at Grandpa Lu, though he caught himself in time and looked elsewhere instead. He was unhappy with Grandpa Lu, but he would never dare to disrespect him.

Iris took the chopsticks from his hand to save them from getting broken from the force he was exerting on them.

"Hmm… That's so weird. Grandpa Lu was clearly talking about you, darling. I don't know why they suddenly concluded that my fiancé is Big Brother Zihao," she told him.

"Exactly! Where in cuckoo's nest did they hear me say that my Haohao is Xiulan's fiancé? I want to know! This is fake news! How dare they twist my words?!"

Little Jun laughed at Grandpa Lu. The little guy was already used to the old man's loud, booming voice and wasn't easily startled anymore.

"Ah, am I funny? Of course Great-Grandpa Lu is the funniest! Because you're a good boy, I'll buy you another batch of new toys and books!"

Jiang Ying Yue smiled helplessly. Grandpa Lu had bought so many presents for Little Jun that they might run out of space to store it at their unit. She opened her mouth, about to ask the old man to please stop giving so many things to her son, but Long Hui stopped her.

"Let him dote on our son. Having this close connection to Sir Lu will be great for our son's future," he whispered to her.

It felt a bit opportunistic, but she agreed with Long Hui. Instead, she swore to herself to teach her son how to stand up on his own two feet and not depend too much on his godparents and Great-Grandpa Lu.

Back to Jin Liwei. He looked at his baby girl and Grandpa Lu. He could tell that they really had no idea why the news reported wrongly. He glared at the TV instead. The news already moved on the next story, but the previous one still echoed inside his head.

'…Iris Long's fiancé has now reportedly been revealed as Lu Zihao Lu Zihao LU ZIHAO…'

Dammit! It should be JIN LIWEI!!!

Long Hui released a loud sigh. "I knew this was going to happen. Of course people misunderstood. Sir Lu only confirmed that little sister's fiancé is his grandson. How could they knew that he also treats Jin Liwei as his own grandson? It's only natural for them to think about Sir Lu's flesh and blood grandson, Lu Zihao, instead of Jin Liwei. Not everyone knows how really close the Lus and the Jins are that you practically treat each other as one family. All they know is that you're inseparable business partners but that's it."

Both Iris and Grandpa Lu's eyes widened in realization at the same time.

"Bah! How is that my fault? I want to know! How could I know that those people have terrible one-track minds to misunderstand my words so easily? It's their fault, not mine! Let's forget about it. The people will soon get bored talking about such fake news." Grandpa Lu waved a dismissive hand and resumed eating while interacting with Little Jun.

"Yes, darling. Just ignore it. Besides, it's not the first time that people made the wrong guess as to who my real fiancé is. For a long time, many thought that it was Brother Chonglin—"

Jin Liwei scowled.

"—and now they think it's Big Brother Zihao." Iris shrugged, also waving the matter away like Grandpa Lu. "I don't have any feelings for Brother Chonglin other than my respect and admiration for him as a fellow musician. As for Big Brother Zihao, he's more of a brother to me than Elder Brother Hui."

It was Long Hui's turn to scowl.

"Meaning, they're our brothers and they will remain that way. Jin Liwei is my one and only man, so don't think much of those fake news anymore. Okay, darling?"

"En."

Her sweet-talk made him feel much better. He smiled smugly and gave her a quick peck on the lips in front of everyone.

"Ehehehe." Dom, their number one shipper of all time, shimmied in delight at their public display of affection.

Little Jun squealed and clapped his hands. Then he turned to Jiang Ying Yue and demanded, "Mommi, kiss! Kiss Junjun!"

Everyone laughed in amusement, except for Long Hui. He was unhappy that his son was increasingly following that damn Jin Liwei as his role model, instead of him, the father. He also felt a little surly when Jiang Ying Yue immediately left his side to give their son several kisses. Maybe he ought to work harder in improving his own romance skills. He didn't want to lose to his own toddler son any further.

The breakfast continued in high spirits. Iris was able to pacify Jin Liwei's jealousy with her sweet-talk, while Little Jun's presence made everyone amused and happy for the entire day.
