His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 878 - Hiding Something

Chapter 878 - Hiding Something

Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing stayed at Dragon Palace Home #10 for the entire weekend. Chen Fei and Meimei also visited for half a day after learning that the new couple was sleeping over at the mansion. The two girls also wanted to sleep over but couldn’t because they were swamped with work.

Chen Fei was in charge of Jin Chonglin’s men’s line project so she was actually the busiest person in Orchidia Beauty during this period, in addition to performing her other duties as the company’s COO.

As for Meimei, she was now a popular webtoon artist and had a crazy work schedule due to the high demand for frequent chapters. Her readers were always acting like bloodthirsty hyenas and kept on begging her for more, more, MORE!!! Although she didn’t have to work so hard because she was already earning a lot, she didn’t want to grow complacent. Aside from this, the most important thing for her was that she loved her work. Even if she turned into a vampiric zombie skeleton due to working so hard, she felt happy and fulfilled as long as she could continue making webtoons.

The entire girl squad except for Clover who was still in France hung out together. Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao were kicked out so that the girls plus Dom could wholeheartedly focus on a fun day of pampering and relaxation.

It was then that Iris finally revealed her pregnancy to the rest of her friends, including Clover who they video-called in order to share the important moment together. Even though Clover was Dom’s sister, he didn’t tell his own sibling about the exciting news without receiving Iris’ permission. He might love gossiping but would never betray Iris and Jin Liwei’s trust even to his own family. He wasn’t Dom without his fierce loyalty.

They all promised to keep Iris’ pregnancy a secret. At the same time, they started to make a list of baby names. Nobody among them trusted either Iris or Jin Liwei to name the baby. There was no way that they would allow the couple to name their baby based on food.

Iris and Jin Liwei hadn’t told them yet, except for Dom and Jiang Ying Yue who already knew, that Iris was carrying twins. Long Jinjing, Chen Fei, Meimei and Clover all assumed that there would only be one baby.

After a fun weekend with everyone, Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing finally prepared to leave the mansion and return to Long Jinjing’s condo. Iris was hoping that her brother would stay at Dragon Palace and felt disappointed when he announced that he would be leaving with Long Jinjing. However, she couldn’t whine like a spoiled little girl.

"I’ll visit again soon," Lu Zihao promised his sister.

Iris nodded and hugged him for two seconds before running back to Jin Liwei to inhale her darling’s scent.

Lu Zihao scowled and resisted the urge to sniff at himself to check if he really was stinky. No, he should smell fine. If he was really stinky, then Long Jinjing should’ve already been repulsed by him. He immediately felt better after thinking this way. Since Long Jinjing was still acting normal, then all was well.

"Take care of Bacon, Big Brother," Iris mouthed at him in Russian.

He nodded and mouthed back, "I will. Don’t worry."

Before leaving, Lu Zihao and Jin Liwei exchanged a secret look filled with meaning.

When Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing were finally gone, Iris and Jin Liwei headed to their home office. She wanted to consult with him about her strategy to forge not only a mutually beneficial deal but also an amicable relationship with Bright Summit amidst her and Jin Chonglin’s plan to leave the entertainment company to form their own talent management company.

Aside from Jin Liwei, she also wanted to ask Grandpa Lu, JJ and Enrique Valdez for their opinions about her plan. Of course, she could do it all by herself without consulting anyone first but time was of the essence. She couldn’t afford to make any mistakes regarding this matter. She needed to iron out all the details as soon as possible because Jin Chonglin’s contract with Bright Summit would be expiring very soon.

On the way to their home office, however, Iris wasn’t focused on this at all. She was thinking about something else. She shook Jin Liwei’s arm to get his attention.

"Hm? What is it, love?"

She squinted at him, causing him to raise his eyebrows in amusement.

"I’ve been seeing you and Big Brother exchanging secret glances with each other all weekend long," she said. "You did it again when he and Big Sister Jinjing left just now. Are the two of you hiding something from me?"

Jin Liwei didn’t answer right away. His expression was calm...too calm that it made her feel even more suspicious.

She pouted when it looked like he wasn’t going to speak. "Hmph!"

She released his arm and walked away by herself, leaving him to chase after her.

He sighed and took a few deep breaths before straightening his spine, as if preparing himself for battle. He hoped that this wasn’t another one of his wife’s mood swings.

Normally, he would be able to explain anything to her with logic without having to deal with any emotional outbursts from her. She might be stubborn but she was also very level-headed. But that was before she got pregnant.

Now, he always needed to be careful not to upset her in any way even if it was unintentional. The good thing was that she had been improving in controlling her temper in recent days.

"Evelina," he called after her.

She stopped and faced him again. She looked unhappy but didn’t look angry. "Is it something that you can’t tell me?"

He sighed and tried to think about how he was going to explain it to her. He had been thinking about it for the entire weekend but he still hadn’t decided which method was best to break it to her without causing her stress.

"Mommy, Daddy!" Ketchup’s voice interrupted them. "Uncle Lin Lin is on the news! Wow, all headlines! Hurry, look! Meow!"
