His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 755 - Devil

"Xiulan is pregnant now, Fifth Brother," Jin Liwei said. "It’s very easy for her to get upset over the littlest of things. I don’t want anything or anyone to trigger her, including you."

"Heh~ Third Brother is talking as if you haven’t made her upset since confirming that she’s pregnant," Lu Zihao drawled. "Little Sister just told me that you two fought over her work schedule before I came over."

Jin Liwei sighed and massaged his temples. "I only did what I thought is best for her and our babies. I don’t want to risk her overexerting herself at work because she tends to do that. If nobody monitors her, she’ll work herself until she collapses because she’s just so passionate." A faint smile improved his weary face. "That’s one of the things I love about her—the passion in everything she does."

Lu Zihao made a sound of agreement.

"But she needs to ease back on her work. I worry about her a lot because she has a tendency to faint and a history of falling into coma. Sometimes she’s so healthy while at other times, she seems so...."

"Fragile," Lu Zihao filled in.

"En. If it were up to me alone, she would stop working and stay here at home where I know that she’ll be safe and pampered for the entire duration of her pregnancy, our babies’ birth, and the twins’ first few months."

"Excellent idea."

The two men looked at each other. Then they chuckled because both of them were of the same mind regarding what they thought was best for Iris. However, both also knew that she would never allow either of them to have full control of how she lived her life no matter how much she loved them.

"Her temper has become terrible," Lu Zihao commented after the short silence.

"Mood swings," Jin Liwei muttered.

"That’s what you get for getting her pregnant so soon."

Jin Liwei threw a cold look at his fifth brother. "I don’t regret getting the woman I love pregnant. On the contrary, I’m ecstatic. Our babies are not a mistake. Never. They’re blessings."

Lu Zihao didn’t reply. He wasn’t even looking at Jin Liwei. Instead, his gaze was directed at the bright and sunny scenery outside the window.

"Which brings me to the matter that I want to talk to you about," Jin Liwei said.

"What is it?" Lu Zihao asked while peering at Jin Liwei out of the corner of his eye.

Jin Liwei rose from his seat and moved a little closer towards his fifth brother. He did so while running his fingers on top of the piano keys but not hard enough to press them and make a sound. He let his hand fall to his side as he continued walking and only stopped once he was a few feet away from Lu Zihao.

"I noticed that Xiulan fears you, Fifth Brother," he said. "She was terrified that you’ll get mad because she got pregnant out of wedlock. I told her not to worry, but she dreaded your arrival today. And yet she doesn’t dare make excuses to delay seeing you. And it’s not only limited to today’s case either. I already long noticed some instances in the past when she would constantly worry about how you’ll react. I did my best to brush it off because I know that your sibling bond is stronger than what she has with her own biological siblings, even with Long Jinjing who has now become one of her closest friends."

The atmosphere had long turned tense as soon as Jin Liwei began this topic. Lu Zihao’s full gaze was now on him. The look on his abyss-like eyes were intimidating but Jin Liwei didn’t back down.

"Why does my wife fear you, Fifth Brother? Tell me why. I want to understand but I just can’t."

Lu Zihao continued to remain silent. Even Jin Liwei had no idea what was going on inside his friend and brother’s head. He couldn’t help but frown because his old fifth brother from before the ski accident always wore his heart on his sleeve. What you see was what you get when it came to the Lu Zihao in the past. The Lu Zihao now, however, was the total opposite. There was no way of knowing his real thoughts and emotions just by looking at his expression.

"Xiulan is confident, independent, and strong-minded," Jin Liwei continued speaking even though Lu Zihao still hadn’t said anything yet. "She goes all out whenever she wants to achieve something. But why the hell is she afraid of you? I don’t like that at all. The wife of Jin Liwei shouldn’t be so afraid of anyone or anything, much less you, our own brother."

Lu Zihao finally rose to his full height. At the same time, he stopped restraining his bloodlust, allowing it to flood out of him in suffocating waves.

Jin Liwei was hit with the full brunt of his fifth brother’s intense malevolent aura to the point that his heart and breathing stopped for a few seconds. Then adrenaline rushed through his veins and helped him recover his senses. Nevertheless, the back of his shirt had already become drenched in cold sweat in that short moment. He felt shocked at what happened. Then the anger came next.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" he demanded. His whole body was now poised to fight if needed. He felt that what his fifth brother did was an affront to their friendship. "Do you want to kill me?!"

There was not a shred of emotion on Lu Zihao’s face, yet the aura he was emitting was enough to cause a weak man to piss his pants. Although Jin Liwei was affected, he didn’t back down. He wanted an explanation why his fifth brother was doing this!

"What if I say that I do want to kill you right now?" Lu Zihao spoke in a cold whisper, yet the words seemed to echo everywhere in the room.

In front of Jin Liwei was no longer his fifth brother. It was the devil.
