His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1404 If That's What You Want

Chapter 1404 If That’s What You Want

Lin Yehan closed his eyes and took deep breaths to calm himself. The thought of his girlfriend meeting and talking to her sc.u.mbag ex in person was enough to infuriate him.

"Ying Yue, I don't want to dictate your actions, but...I just can't find it in myself to agree to Long Hui's request to meet you," he said in a measured tone to keep his emotions as stable as possible while talking to his girlfriend.

"I know," Jiang Ying Yue replied. "But Long Hui says that he'll stop bothering me if I agree to meet and talk to him. He wants...closure, I guess. But, to be honest, I also want closure so that I can go forward with my relations.h.i.+p with you without any remaining emotional and mental baggage from my past failed relations.h.i.+p. So I'm also curious about what he wants to talk about with me."

It was taking Lin Yehan everything to control his temper. Feeling an almost overwhelming flood of negative emotion like this was quite rare for someone with a calm and stable personality like him. He didn't want to scare his girlfriend, but it was difficult to agree with her plan.

Then she asked, "Will you come with me?"

"Huh?" Her question didn't register in his mind right away.

She clarified, "I want you to come with me when I meet with Long Hui. I think...I'll feel more a.s.sured and confident with you there. C-can you, Yehan?"

All of Lin Yehan's anger seemed to dissipate after hearing what his girlfriend said. His ugly expression turned into a smiling one.

"Alright, Ying Yue. Of course, I'll come with you if that's what you want."

"Thank you, Yehan."

After the phone call, Lin Yehan's mood was now lighter than ever. His usual gentle smile had an extra warmth and even a noticeable sparkle in his eyes.

He couldn't help but appreciate Jiang Ying Yue even more. She was not only an impressive woman and a wonderful mother, but she was also a considerate lover. She must have known that he would feel awful about her plan to meet and talk with her ex, so she asked him to go with her. He liked her openness. If she met with her ex behind his back, he would undoubtedly feel horrible even if he understood the reason behind her decision.

"Look at Boss Lin's smile! I bet he just spoke to our future lady boss on the phone!"

The workers teased him, but he felt fantastic. So he decided to stay and help with the harvest for the rest of the day.

Jin Corporation.

When Iris and Jin Liwei heard that Long Hui wanted to spend a day with Little Jun, they were both displeased. However, it didn't matter what they felt about it because Jiang Ying Yue had already allowed her ex's request. She was the mother, while the two of them were only the G.o.dparents.

They also couldn't deny that Long Hui was indeed their G.o.dson's father, whether they liked it or not. Despite their misgivings, they didn't bother dissuading Jiang Ying Yue from her decision.

"I'll talk to the head of our security and form the best team to protect our G.o.dson," Jin Liwei said.

"Good." Iris also thought of a way to fortify their G.o.dson's safety and security when the child went with his father. "There are still a few days before Long Hui takes Little Jun. I can make a small and simple device that will monitor Little Jun the whole time and immediately alert us if something happens to him."

"How about a smart.w.a.tch?" Jin Liwei suggested. "I've seen some little kids wearing a simplified child's version of a smart.w.a.tch. You can just reprogram it, so you don't have to create a whole new device from scratch."

"That's feasible. I just don't know if Little Jun is willing to wear a smart.w.a.tch. He doesn't like to wear the gold bracelets that his Grandma Lan bought for him. So I'll try the smart.w.a.tch, but maybe I'll also tweak a keychain or something else that we can just pin to him."

"En. Up to you, love—Jin Haoyu!"

Jin Liwei grabbed a tissue and wiped the splashes of baby food his eldest twin son made all over the table. Unfortunately, there were even some that landed on Jin Liwei's business suit.

Little Mochi giggled and used his hands to shove a gloop of baby food into his mouth.

Unlike his messy elder twin brother, Little Matcha obediently ate his food whenever his mother spoon-fed him. There was not even a drop of mess on him. He would stay still and wait for his mother to wipe any mess on him before continuing to eat. As usual, he was completely unbothered by all the ruckus his twin brother was causing.

The family was once again spending time together at Jin Corporation. However, Jin Liwei's hectic schedule wasn't done yet, so Iris continued to bring their babies to his workplace for lunchtime.

Today, there was no buffet for the employees, but she still ordered bento boxes for everyone. But, of course, they weren't cheap convenience store bento boxes either. Instead, they were fancy bento boxes prepared by a hotel restaurant that she ordered in advance. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

Because of the delicious variety of lunch food, everyone at Jin Corporation wished that the lady boss would come to the company every day. However, they knew that she was only doing this because of the company's hectic schedule. Once everything returned to normal again, it was highly likely that she would stop regularly coming like this.

Some of the employees even wished that the hectic schedule would be extended. It was hard, but lunch every few days were awesome. Sometimes, the lady boss would even send them discount coupons for Orchidia products. They could use the coupons in any of the three Orchidia brands—

Orchidia Beauty, Orchidia Mommy and Orchidia Baby.

All of these perks just because of the lady boss' visit made everyone at the company more motivated while working on their own respective tasks.

Back to the CEO's office on the top floor, Jin Liwei and Iris finally finished feeding their twins. A nanny took the twins and changed their clothes while Iris helped her husband change his suit, which had been soiled by Little Mochi's baby food.

"Ying Yue says that Long Hui also wants to meet and talk to her in person," she shared.

Jin Liwei frowned. "Didn't she have a restraining order against him?"

"Yes."

"And he still wants to meet and talk to her in person? He's really crazy. Does he want to be arrested?"

"Ying Yue agreed to meet him." She disagreed with her friend's decision, but Jiang Ying Yue sounded firm.

Jin Liwei's frown deepened, but he didn't comment any further. If the issue involved his G.o.dson's wellbeing, he would definitely step in. But if it was just Jiang Ying Yue, it was none of his business to interfere with the woman's choices.

"Apparently, Ying Yue asked Eldest Brother Yehan to accompany her, and he agreed," Iris added.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow before nodding. "Good. We don't have to worry about Jiang Ying Yue anymore. Eldest Brother will surely protect her if Long Hui attempts to do something."

"I think so, too. I'm more worried about Little Jun. I just can't help but feel nervous."

He took her hand and rubbed it, trying to comfort her. "I'll send more bodyguards. Maybe even ask your brother for a couple of his people. Ketchup will also be there when you make the device for Little Jun."

She nodded. "Okay."

Long Hui's honeymoon finally ended. He felt drained instead of refreshed. Even completing his community service punishment was better than being stuck with Mao Qiuyue every day. At least, he felt fulfilled doing the community service.

Despite Mao Qiuyue's insistence on bribing someone to let him complete fewer hours of community service, he insisted on completing all 500 hours before his wedding.

During the first week, he cleaned the streets. He hated every minute of it. He had been tempted to follow Mao Qiuyue's suggestion to bribe someone but was able to restrain his impulse.

It got better the second week when he was transferred to a food bank. Then to a juvenile detention centre.

When he got a.s.signed to an orphanage next, he thought about his own son. His heart stirred, and he began missing Little Jun until it hurt.

His final a.s.signment was at a community centre where volunteers arranged free cla.s.ses and workshops. He had been arranged to lead a cla.s.s and share his experiences as a business executive. This was his favourite experience, a perfect ending to his 500 hours of community service punishment. It made him feel important again.

Of course, even if he felt that completing all 500 hours of community service was fulfilling, he swore to never do it again. Granted, he might do it for appearance's sake in the future to improve his reputation. But if he were forced to do it again for punishment's sake, then no way!

After their honeymoon, Long Hui and Mao Qiuyue returned to their new marital home. It was a gift from Long Tengfei.

Even though Long Tengfei disapproved of Long Hui's marriage to Mao Qiuyue, he still cherished his reputation as the current head of the Longs. Therefore, he couldn't let outsiders belittle his son even if that said son displeased him.

As a result, he gifted the newly wedded couple a property in an upscale neighbourhood. Another reason was that Long Tengfei didn't want Long Hui and Mao Qiuyue to live with him and Yang Jiahui at the Long ancestral home.

Long Hui didn't want to bring Mao Qiuyue to the ancestral home either. The woman was high maintenance, and he might not be able to hold it in if the woman started demanding endless modern renovations on the historic property.
