His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1066 - Crossed The Bottomline Too Far

"How is she?!" Lu Zihao asked, no, demanded while barrelling towards where his sister was lying asleep on the bed.

The doctor couldn’t help but step back in fear at the huge man’s threatening aura. However, her professionalism still won over her nerves. "S-sir...p-please be quiet! The madam needs to rest!"

Lu Zihao looked like he wanted to beat up someone into a pulp but still forced himself to calm down. His dark eyes darted over his extremely pale sister. He relaxed a little after seeing that she was still breathing. However, his bloodthirsty aura continued to emanate from him, causing everyone in the room except for Jin Liwei to shiver.

Dom shoved more of Iris’ chocolates inside his mouth as a way to cope with the tense atmosphere while Jin Chonglin stared wide-eyed and wide-mouthed at what seemed to be an unfamiliar Lu Zihao.

As for Jin Liwei, he had already gradually gotten used to his brother-in-law’s murderous vibes especially after reading the Vetrov report many times. He wasn’t completely immune but at least his instincts wouldn’t always go into fight or flight mode every time his brother-in-law unleashed his bloodthirst. It also helped that Bacon updated him on a regular basis about his work at Shadow Winds. All of these contributed to desensitizing him towards his brother-in-law’s cruel side.

After regaining control of his wild emotions, Lu Zihao stood beside the seated Jin Liwei by Iris’ bed. He didn’t touch his sister, only looked at her.

Jin Liwei observed his brother-in-law’s eyes becoming several degrees gentler after looking at Iris. He could relate.

"She okay?"

"En." Jin Liwei lifted his wife’s hand and kissed her palm before rubbing it gently to warm it up.

"The babies?"

"Okay, too."

Lu Zihao released a huge sigh of relief. Jin Liwei gave him a brief summary of what the doctor said about Iris needing a complete bed rest for at least half a month to stabilize the babies in her womb.

"Good. Keep her in bed rest until she gives birth. That would be safer."

"I agree," Jin Liwei murmured.

The two heard a loud snort. They turned their heads and saw that it was Jin Chonglin.

"Good luck with that," Jin Chonglin told them. "I’ve experienced working with Xiulan—"

"Call her Sister-in-law," Jin Liwei corrected his younger brother.

"Sister Xiulan," Jin Chonglin said instead, reverting to how he usually called her. "Well, as I was saying, I’ve experienced working with her several times now and will work more closely in the future since we established our own company together, LXC Studio. I know that Sister Xiulan is not the type to idle around. She’ll surely rebel if you force her into bed rest for longer than what the doctor recommended."

Dom nodded and finished swallowing the bite of chocolate he just ate before speaking. "Boss will indeed react like that. I think that it’s better for us to follow what the doctor recommends. Boss hates it whenever she feels like her freedom is being restricted."

Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao had similar expressions. They both looked torn. On one hand, they wanted to lock up Iris at home where it was safe until she gave birth. And on another hand, they didn’t want to trigger her past life’s trauma of feeling caged.

In the end, Jin Liwei could only give in. "Fine. We’ll follow exactly what the doctor recommends."

Lu Zihao harrumphed but didn’t object. He walked towards the window and half-sat on the sill. He crossed his muscled arms over his wide chest. His relaxed posture was deceptive. Jin Liwei noticed his brother-in-law’s alert eyes peeking through the gap between the curtains and window to the ground outside like a hunter observing his prey.

The doctor looked pleased now that Jin Liwei announced that they would follow her exact recommendations. Then she asked, "Would you like me to check your injuries?"

"Later. I’ll need you to write up a medical certificate to prove these injuries for the police."

"No problem, sir. Please excuse me first. I need to speak with the hospital director to communicate our request on how this place should handle Madam Jin’s stay here."

"En."

The doctor left.

"Big Bro, how did you get your injuries?" Jin Chonglin asked. "Did Rose Young and her minions beat you up? You’re a black-belter in karate. How could you allow yourself to be beaten up just like that?"

"I beat him up," Lu Zihao said before Jin Liwei could reply.

"Eh?" Jin Chonglin was confused.

Dom choked on a piece of chocolate and began coughing. Jin Chonglin hit his back a few times and handed him a bottle of water.

"Ah, how dangerous!" Dom said, tapping his chest. "My handsome and beautiful self almost croaked my last breath!" Then he looked at Lu Zihao. "Big Bro Boss! How could you beat up sir boss?! Did you two fight? That’s not good! You two should be teaming up together against that Rafflesia No-boobie Rose Young Arnoldii and not fighting each other!"

"Who’s fighting each other?" a faint whisper asked but it was like the sweetest thunderclap to everyone’s ears.

"Love, you’re awake!" Jin Liwei sprang up from his seat.

Iris’ eyes fluttered open. She looked dazedly at the ceiling for a few seconds before turning her gaze on her husband.

"Liwei...."

"Yes, I’m here."

Her hand that he was holding gave him a weak squeeze. "You’re injured."

"I’m fine." He lifted her hand and kissed it several times. "Don’t worry about me because I’m not. I’m more worried about you."

Tears sparkled in her eyes. "I’m sorry...."

He frowned. "For what?"

"I endangered our babies."

"It’s not your fucking fault," Lu Zihao interrupted. "So don’t apologize."

"En," Jin Liwei agreed. "It’s our fault. We tried to conceal the details of our plan from you."

"The hell it’s our fault! It’s that fucking nympho’s fault!" Then Lu Zihao murmured in a voice so low that only Iris heard him, "I’ll kill her."

Iris didn’t say anything about her brother’s intent to murder this time. She felt too upset and furious at what Rose Young did tonight not only to her husband Jin Liwei but to their whole family. She almost lost her babies!

Perhaps if she really miscarried, Iris would feel even more murderous than her brother right now. That Rose Young had crossed her bottomline too far!
