His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1299 - Confinement

Chapter 1299 - Confinement

Throughout the week following the birth of the twins, Iris and Jin Liwei received congratulatory presents from their loved ones and friends. Only those closest to them were informed about their children's birth. They hadn't announced it to the rest of the world yet.

The new parents weren't in any hurry to make the announcement. Jin Liwei was more concerned about his wife's recovery. He witnessed with his own eyes how much she suffered while giving birth to their children.

He remembered the moment when she passed out for a few seconds from the pain of pushing their first baby out. He really thought that he was going to lose her right there and then. This memory left a lingering fear in him.

As a result, he swore to himself that he would treasure his wife even more than before.

Deep inside him, he loved his wife more than anyone else in the world, including their children. Others might criticize him for this but what could he do? This was his real feelings.

Others would automatically prioritize their children over their spouses, saying that a wife or husband could be abandoned and changed into a new one anytime, but a child would always remain a piece of one's flesh and blood forever.

This was natural. To the majority, at least.

Unfortunately, Jin Liwei couldn't do it. For him, his wife was the number one. Always.

This, however, didn't mean that he had no care for his children. Of course, he loved his children. He was also determined to become the best father that he could be for all his children especially since their mother was the woman he loved.

"What are you thinking?" Iris asked.

Jin Liwei felt his wife hug him from behind. He turned his head and caught her mouth for a quick kiss. Then he pulled her to sit on his lap.

They were in the living area of their master suite.

"How come you're out of bed?" he asked.

She scowled. "I don't believe in all these unscientific rules for maternity confinement. Don't take a bath, stay in bed as much as possible. How am I supposed to stay sane for one month with all these rules?"

He didn't reply. To be honest, he also didn't believe in all the rules. This was a modern society. Advanced technology made some of the negative complications caused by not following maternity confinement rules moot. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel cautious when it came to his wife's health and safety. There was no harm in believing in some superstitions. It was better to be safe than sorry.

"Don't be upset anymore," he said, trying to coax his wife. "You already took a bath, didn't you?"

"Yes, but Mother is now upset with me when she found out about it."

He sighed. "Don't mind Mother too much. She only cares about you, that's why she got mad. I'll talk to her later."

"No need. I didn't really take it to heart."

Iris was telling the truth. She wasn't really affected when her mother-in-law scolded her for breaking the confinement rules. Huang Yuyan moved with them temporarily to help take care of Iris and the twins during the month-long confinement.

Although the couple had already long hired a team to help them through the confinement, they still accepted Huang Yuyan's offer. Iris got along better with her mother-in-law than the more troublesome Wei Lan.

Speaking of Wei Lan, she hadn't visited her newborn grandsons yet. It seemed that she went on a shopping vacation abroad some time after René Alejandro's birthday bash.

According to the gossip that Dom heard from Randy, Wei Lan became upset when René Alejandro's friend, Emilio Miguel, refused to hand over the heirloom belonging to her viscount husband. When it was clear that Emilio Miguel had no intention of coughing out the gold pocket watch, Wei Lan got so mad that she needed a shopping therapy to cure her increasing stress levels.

She had been flying to many different Asian countries with Randy since then and shopping at as many malls and boutiques as possible with vengeance. This was the reason why she hadn't met her newborn grandsons yet.

To her credit, she did send expensive, brand-named presents for the twins from abroad. She would always message Iris that she couldn't wait to meet the twins, but at the same time, she wasn't in any hurry to cancel her current shopping spree.

Not that Iris and Jin Liwei cared much. For them, seeing one grandmother put in obvious effort to bond with their twins was enough. Huang Yuyan genuinely doted on her grandsons from the bottom of her heart. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

Back to the present, Iris and Jin Liwei cuddled on the couch. Huang Yuyan and the babysitters were taking care of the twins, so the couple could have some alone time.

The new parents were tired because they would take care of the twins at night. Unlike most other parents, they couldn't take turns waking up to feed or change diapers. They had twins who often cried at the same time during the night so both Iris and Jin Liwei needed to take care of the babies.

Even so, they were still fortunate due to their wealth and status. There were always other people who could take over whenever they needed to rest.

"How's the meeting?" Iris asked.

"There are still some details that needed to be ironed out, but overall, things should go according to my original plan," Jin Liwei replied.

They were talking about the important meeting that got cancelled when Jin Liwei rushed home after learning that Iris went into labour and eventually gave birth that night. If it was just an ordinary meeting, Jin Liwei could delay it indefinitely, but it was important, so he could only find time to make up for it a few days later.

"That's good," she said. "Let me know if I can help."

"I will, but for now, you should focus on recovery. Okay, love?"

She nodded and started to feel drowsy. Unfortunately, before she could fall asleep, her breasts started leaking milk. The front of her shirt quickly became wet despite the nursing pads.

Jin Liwei chuckled but his eyes darkened as he stared at his wife's chest.
