His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)
chapter-897

Even though it was Sunday, Dragon Palace Home #10 was still extremely busy with the wedding preparations. In fact, it was busier today because of the rehearsal.

Jin Liwei's sworn brothers including his younger brother Jin Chonglin and all the members of the girl squad came to the mansion. Even Clover was present who arrived from France very late last night. She chose to stay at Dragon Palace instead of returning to Iris' Gold Heights penthouse to prevent revealing any clues about the secret wedding to Wei Lan who had also just returned from her Asian vacation with her new best friend Randy, the Zumba instructor.

Included in the rehearsal was Little Jun, Ice Cream and Popcorn. Their friends also couldn't help but notice Dom carrying a big tablet showing a white and black cats.

"Is that Ketchup and Ham?" Yu Mo asked as he looked at the two cats on the tablet with great curiosity.

The black cat hissed and swiped its claws at him.

"Whoa! Easy there!" Yu Mo jumped away but then realized how foolish he acted because he just got "attacked" by a cat on screen.

"It's Ketchup and Bacon, Teacher Mo!" Dom corrected while giggling. "Bacon is boss and sir boss' youngest baby. He's very proud of his name. That's why he got angry at you when you called him by the wrong name."

"I see," Yu Mo said in a good-natured tone. "Sorry, Bacon. Uncle Mo made a mistake. But wow! This is the first time we've met these two, although we've seen their pictures all over the mansion."

"They're very shy," Dom said with a snicker. "They always hide and refuse to come out when there are other people in the mansion."

Yu Mo laughed. "But they don't mind video-calling like this?"

"Oh, they love it! These two are very photogenic. Ehehehe! Right, Baby Ketchup and Baby Bacon?"

The white cat meowed cutely while the black cat started licking its little paws in boredom. They looked like regular cats. Even their eyes looked normal and didn't glow like before.

Yu Mo shook his head while chuckling. He didn't ask any more questions about Ketchup and Bacon. The others didn't either. They accepted Dom's explanation. Even if it was weird that the two cats would be attending the rehearsal and the actual wedding via video call, they didn't think too much about it because Iris and Jin Liwei often did things their own way. All of them were already used to it.

Moreover, there were much more interesting topics that they wanted to focus on than asking about the two shy cats Ketchup and Bacon, namely the relationship between Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing. Everyone in the girl squad already knew about their relationship, but Jin Liwei's sworn brothers and his younger brother Jin Chonglin had no idea. Therefore, they were quite shocked when they found out about it today.

After the first set of rehearsal, they took a short break and divided into two groups. Jin Liwei went with his brothers while Iris joined her friends.

"Fifth Bro, I didn't know that you still had it in you!" Yu Mo teased while throwing his arm around Lu Zihao's shoulders. The position was quite awkward because Lu Zihao was so much bigger than him. However, this didn't deter the Systema instructor even for a bit. Then he looked around to make sure that the women on the other side couldn't hear him. "Ever since you returned to the country, we haven't seen you flirting with other women like you did in the past. We thought that you had become a monk or something!"

Lin Yehan patted Lu Zihao's shoulder. "Long Jinjing is a good woman. All of Xiulan and Miss Jiang's friends are good."

Wang Yingjie nodded but all the brothers knew that his sharp eyes were silently observing Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing.

"So you're CFO Long's mysterious boyfriend!" Jin Chonglin exclaimed.

Then he told them about the rumours he overheard at Orchidia Beauty. He was frequently at the company during this period because of his men's line. The rumours said that CFO Long Jinjing had a mysterious boyfriend who would sometimes drop her off in front of the office building with swollen lips and a red face. Nobody saw her boyfriend yet but those who managed to get a glimpse of his figure could tell that he was a big macho man.

"Pft! Big macho man! Ahahahaha!" Yu Mo doubled over in uproarious laughter.

The others also couldn't stop laughing. Lu Zihao didn't join them but his expression indicated that he didn't mind. If one looked closely, they might even notice that his lips were slightly curved upwards.

On the other side where Iris and her friends were congregated, the girl squad looked over to the men's side.

"What are they laughing about?" Chen Fei asked, wrinkling her nose.

"They look like they're teasing Mr. Yummylicious," Meimei observed.

"S-stop calling him that!" Long Jinjing said with a red face.

The siblings Dom and Clover giggled.

Iris could hear what the men were talking about. "Meimei is right. They're teasing Big Brother about his relationship with Big Sister Jinjing."

Long Jinjing flushed even more.

The rehearsal resumed after the short break. They had to take another unexpected break when Little Jun and his cat cousins stopped cooperating because the kids got too tired and too bored. Clover volunteered to accompany Jiang Ying Yue to take Little Jun and the cats to the playroom.

Before leaving, the toddler ran to her godparents and gave them loud, wet kisses on the cheeks. "Bye bye, Mama! Bye bye, Papa!"

Then he went on to say goodbye to the others as well until he reached Lin Yehan.

"Bye bye, Anko Han!"

Lin Yehan crouched down and patted the child's head. "See you later, Little Jun."

Little Jun giggled before running back to his mother and Auntie Clover. When they left, Dom clutched his chest and wiped real tears from his eyes.

"Time flies by so fast! Little Junie boy doesn't cry anymore when leaving us! Wuwuwu! Our cutie patootie baby is a big boy now!"
