His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 967 - None Of Your Business

Bacon immediately obeyed. "As I was saying earlier, my work is lighter now compared to before because Uncle Zihao told the ShaWn members that they’re being too lazy lately and that they’re depending on Bacon too much to complete their missions. To be honest, Bacon wishes that they all continue to be lazy, although I know that it’s not classy to think this way. It’s because Uncle Zihao mentioned that he’ll give me their salary instead if they don’t work properly. But after being scolded, they’re now working hard again. I’m a little sad and disappointed because this good opportunity for a salary raise is now gone."

Both Iris and Jin Liwei were amused. Nevertheless, Jin Liwei still lectured their AI son.

"Don’t be too obsessed with money. Our family has a lot. You know that your mom and I will never deprive you and your siblings with your monthly allowances as long as you’re reasonable enough with how you spend it."

Iris nodded.

"Understood, Father. Bacon just likes money because I feel secure when I have lots in my savings."

The husband and wife looked at each other with raised eyebrows. However, they didn’t criticize Bacon because his reason was relatable. Afterwards, Iris continued to chat with Bacon about his work at Shadow Winds with Ketchup butting in the conversation now and then.

Knowing that his mother was hesitant in involving herself with Shadow Winds, Bacon didn’t delve into too much detail about his work. In contrast, his father didn’t have the same concern as his mother, so he planned on giving his father a complete report later.

"How about your Uncle Zihao?" Iris asked next. "How is he?"

"Uncle Zihao broke up with Aunt Jinjing."

"What?!" Iris sat straight up, startling both Ice Cream and Popcorn.

Jin Liwei was also surprised at the news but didn’t say anything. He wasn’t too interested in his brother-in-law’s relationship with Long Jinjing or with any women. What he cared more was preventing his wife from becoming too stressed and worsening her already difficult pregnancy symptoms.

Bacon had no problem exposing his uncle’s private affairs to his parents. "Uncle Zihao would sometimes limit Bacon’s surveillance so I don’t have complete information about what happened. But I do know that Uncle Zihao and Aunt Jinjing had been busy making a baby daily in the past few days just like when Father and Mother tell us, your children, not to disturb you—"

Jin Liwei scowled. "Where did you learn that?"

Bacon paused. "...from Uncle Dominic..."

And the cunning rascal threw another uncle of his under the bus. But at least, he sounded hesitant when it came to exposing his Uncle Dom unlike earlier when he pushed all the blame on his Uncle Zihao without showing any guilt.

"Oh oh oh! The cute and almost mighty again Ketchup knows what that means! Poor Uncle Haohao and Auntie Jinjing! They must be dog-tired after all that sleepy time! But don’t worry, Mommy and Daddy! Ketchup already warned my little kitty brother Bacon not to disturb Uncle Haohao and Auntie Jinjing during their sleepy time just like how we never disturb Mommy and Daddy during your super-duper important sleepy time! Ehehehe. Meow~"

Both Iris and Jin Liwei became speechless.

Iris bit her lower lip and looked sad. "Our children grow up so fast."

Jin Liwei was still scowling.

She patted his face and gave him a reassuring smile. Then she spoke by mouthing words to prevent their too-smart-for-their-own-good AI children from listening. "Don’t worry, darling. I already programmed them to automatically limit their memory and comprehension if they were to be accidentally exposed to...uh, inappropriate scenes outside of our supervision."

He immediately looked relieved. He and his wife were of the same mind in wanting to keep their AI children’s "innocence" longer just like normal human children. They both knew that they couldn’t keep censoring all inappropriate information from Ketchup and Bacon forever, but for now, Jin Liwei and Iris wanted to raise their AI children this way.

Iris quickly remembered the main topic at hand. "Call your Uncle Zihao. I want to talk to him."

"Oh oh oh! Let the cute and almost mighty again Ketchup call Uncle Haohao! Ketchup missed my uncle sooooo much! Meow~" Then assuming that her parents approved, she immediately made the call.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

It rang for a long time. They almost thought that Lu Zihao wasn’t going to answer, but he did at the last moment.

"Kid, I don’t have time to chat with you right now." Lu Zihao didn’t even say hello. His tone was filled with annoyance. "I’m busy. Go watch cartoons or something."

Apparently, Ketchup called him using her own number.

"Big Brother," Iris greeted in Russian.

There was a distinct pause before Lu Zihao replied to her in a more neutral tone.

Iris didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked him, "You broke up with Big Sister Jinjing?"

Another distinct pause, longer this time.

"That money-grubbing brat of yours told you?" he asked instead of answering.

"Bacon is your nephew and he loves working with you."

Lu Zihao snorted.

Iris didn’t give up. "Well? Is it true that you and Big Sister Jinjing broke up?"

"None of your business, Little Sister."

She was taken aback by her brother’s blunt refusal that she wasn’t able to respond right away.

Listening to their conversation, Jin Liwei frowned. He understood what his brother-in-law just said to his wife with the basic Russian that he had been trying hard to learn recently. He couldn’t help but defend his wife in Mandarin.

"Your sister is pregnant. Don’t upset her."

"I’m alright," Iris said.

"No, love. You’re already starting to stress out."

"Fine. Sorry." Lu Zihao sighed. "But I’m really not in the mood to talk about my breakup with Jinjing."

"So you really broke up." Iris pursed her lips and tilted her head to the side while hugging Ice Cream. Jin Liwei took this chance to also hug her. Of course, Popcorn didn’t want to be left out and squeezed with them for a family group hug.

"...yeah." Lu Zihao sighed again, deeper this time. "We broke up."
