Chapter 1249 - Birthday Party Invitation

Chapter 1249 - Birthday Party Invitation

Iris laughed at her husband's overprotective actions. He supported her from walking to sitting down. She had already grown used to him acting like this. He wouldn't listen to her protests anyway. All she could do was change her mindset and think that he wasn't treating her as an invalid but as an empress to be served instead.

She wasn't the one who conjured this empress analogy. It was Dom. Not surprisingly, Jin Liwei didn't refute it, even telling her that she was indeed his beloved empress.

As a result, her previous misgivings about his overcautious treatment of her all faded away. Of course, the previous miscarriage scare was a huge lesson for her. She knew that it was mostly her fault for not controlling her emotions better and allowing her hard-headedness to get the better of her good sense.

This was why even without her husband and the others' careful treatment of her, she would take better care of her pregnancy herself. Her body was no longer hers alone. It was now her husband's, and during the duration of her pregnancy, their twin babies' as well. She had to take better care of herself for her family.

Jin Liwei continued to fuss over her even as Dom and Xu Tian were laying out delicious and nutritious dishes on the table. All the food was delivered from home around the same time Iris' entourage arrived at Jin Corporation.

Knowing that their mistress was going to eat with their master, the chefs at home took extra care in preparing the food and making sure that they suited their pregnant mistress' tastes. By this time, the chefs at home had already mastered dishes that would minimize their mistress' nausea.

Iris no longer felt sick when eating but this only applied to food prepared by their private chefs. There were still instances that she would feel sick when encountering food prepared outside. This was why Jin Liwei prevented others from giving her food not made from home.

Dom and Xu Tian left to eat their own lunch, leaving the husband and wife alone in the CEO's office. Even the talkative Ketchup didn't disturb her parents and followed her Uncle Dom instead. The two chatterboxes had a lively conversation while the helpless Xu Tian could only resign himself to the ear torture.

Back at the CEO's office, Jin Liwei was attentive as usual, serving his wife food. They sat together on the couch and ate lunch in a relaxed manner.

"Have you spoken to Bacon yet?" Iris asked.

"En. The kid dropped by my computer earlier today and said that he's busy helping his Uncle Zihao at Shadow Winds and also helping out Long Jinjing whenever he has free time."

Iris smiled. "He's working hard."

Jin Liwei put more meat in his wife's bowl and said, "He's happy to work hard and earn more money from his uncle and aunt."

She chuckled. "Let him. If it makes him happy, that's all that matters."

"En."

"The new configurations I did on his system will make sure that we're alerted if he's doing something too dangerous and beyond his current abilities."

He nodded and poured hot tea for her. He didn't bother telling his wife that he paid their AI son premium money to blackmail Lu Zihao into acting less restless. So far, it was effective. Bacon was now freely using his Aunt Jinjing to make his Uncle Zihao agree to most of demands.

Lu Zihao was resentful but still backed down a great deal. The activities of his group Shadow Winds had become less frequent and more mindful. Jin Liwei was very satisfied. As long as Lu Zihao curbed his recklessness, Iris and Long Jinjing who were both pregnant wouldn't have to worry themselves sick.

After lunch, Iris stayed in Jin Liwei's office and even helped him interpret a call with a foreign partner. It was after that business call that Iris noticed something on his desk. She took it and began reading. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Jin Liwei saw what she was reading and told her, "It's from René Alejandro. He had someone send it to my office this morning."

Iris raised an eyebrow. "It's addressed to both of us and yet he sent it here to Jin Corporation?"

He shrugged. "Maybe he finds it easier to send it here after personally experiencing the strict security at Dragon Palace."

She pursed her lips and continued to study the invitation.

"Do you want to attend?" he asked but still said, "I think that it's better that you don't. It's only a birthday party anyway. We can just send him a gift. No need to personally attend—"

"Excuse me, Mommy and Daddy! Grandma Lan is calling Mommy's number. Should Ketchup accept the call? Meow~"

Jin Liwei looked at his wife. Iris hesitated for a second before sighing and letting Ketchup accept the call. After the phone call, she felt exhausted, irritated, and a dull ache started in her temples.

A displeased Jin Liwei carried her to the connecting bedroom in his office and laid her down on the bed before starting to massage her head. His expression was cold but her movements were gentle.

"Why did you agree to attend René Alejandro's birthday party?" he asked with a frown.

He had wanted to take over the phone call with Wei Lan but his wife gestured for him to not interfere. Although reluctant, he backed down and listened in silence to Wei Lan successfully persuade his wife to attend René Alejandro's birthday party.

"We'll just show our faces and leave," Iris replied with a sigh. She closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's gentle ministrations. Then she opened them again and looked at him. "Ever since the Christmas party, René Alejandro has been accompanying Wei Lan whenever she visits us at home. He also brings his own gifts for the kids separate from Wei Lan. The way he acts is really as if he considers us as his family."

"Your older brother hates him," he commented.

She had to agree. Whenever Lu Zihao and René Alejandro encountered each other by chance, they would look like they would start brawling. Fortunately, there was Long Jinjing who would always stop Lu Zihao.

As for Iris, she was actually quite curious to watch an actual physical fight between her older brother and the Spaniard.
