His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 406 - Worry

Chapter 406 - Worry

Gold Heights Condominium.

When they reached their bedroom, Iris continued to pull Jin Liwei all the way to the bathroom. She stripped him of his clothes except for his boxers and examined his body under the lights. She felt furious after seeing the small bruises and tiny scratches on his body.

Of course, Jin Liwei's light bruises and scratches were nothing compared to Long Hui's nasty injuries. To Iris, however, they were a big deal. She almost called the driver to bring Long Hui back to the penthouse so that she could personally beat him up for leaving marks on her darling.

"They don't hurt. I don't even feel them," Jin Liwei a.s.sured her.

And indeed, he could barely feel them. In fact, his body hurt more after an intense workout than after his fight with Long Hui. The f.u.c.ker only got lucky that some of his punches and kicks were able to land.

Iris didn't reply. She took the first-aid kit and opened it. Then her eyes blanked out as she stared at the contents.

"Uh... Wait here, darling. I need to search this up first…."

Despite feeling p.i.s.sed off at Long Hui, Jin Liwei couldn't help but smile in amus.e.m.e.nt at his baby girl. He pulled her back.

"No need. Here, I'll show you how to do it."

Iris was a fast learner. But since this was her first time treating injuries herself, her movements were still clumsy. She applied too much medicine, believing that more would make his injuries heal faster.

After treating him, she told him, "I don't want you getting hurt in a fight again."

"Love, these are nothing. I told you they don't hurt."

"No, what I mean is that I don't want you getting hit in a fight again. Or at least, minimize the chance of hits landing on your body. Why don't I ask Fourth Brother to start coming again? I haven't had a Systema cla.s.s with him ever since we returned from Europe. Are you interested in doing Systema with me?"

Jin Liwei thought about her suggestion. "Hmmm... I think I can learn Systema, but I don't really have any interest in it. I was originally trained in karate, but it has been years since I last practised it. That's why I'm quite rusty now. Maybe I should start visiting the dojo again."

"It's up to you. But don't force yourself, if you don't have the time. We're already both so busy that I don't want anything to decrease our time together any more than necessary."

"Don't worry, love. Once or twice per week should be enough to refresh my karate skills."

They talked some more about their respective plans of training again in their own respective martials arts while cleaning themselves for the night. Although their conversation was light, they could feel a dark undercurrent in their emotions.

Long Hui's earlier provocations had effectively killed their earlier desire to make love. Now they were just getting themselves ready for bed. They already tossed out any plans of making love for the night.

When they returned to the bedroom, Iris called Qiao Yu on the phone and instructed him to purchase more Long Industries shares if any were put up for sale at any given time. She gave him permission to immediately buy the shares for her, no matter how much the price, even without informing her first. This was to raise their chances of getting it before anyone else.

After the call, Iris turned and saw Jin Liwei stretching on the carpet. She joined him and they stretched together before going to bed.

"So you want to buy more Long Industries shares? Have you changed your mind and decided that you want the company after all?" he asked. Obviously, he heard the conversation with her financial manager on the phone.

"No. I'm still not interested in Long Industries. At all."

The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smile. "So you're buying more shares just to spite that stupid idiot?"

Iris sneered at the mention of Long Hui, but her expression quickly returned to being serious. "Yes, of course I want to spite him after what he did and said to me earlier this evening."

Jin Liwei paused stretching. His expression turned dark, cold and dangerous, as he remembered all of the things the motherf.u.c.ker said to his baby girl.

She rubbed his clenched fists, soothing him. She could feel an almost murderous aura radiating from him. When he didn't relax, she moved behind him and hugged him from behind. They were still both sitting on the carpet. She nuzzled his neck until she felt him relaxing a bit.

Then she continued, "I want to spite that stupid idiot but that's too shallow of a reason. If there's only him in the picture, I don't mind using Long Industries to mess with him. But alas, there are other people involved in this situation. Father made Long Industries into a successful international company. I don't want to belittle his hard work just to punish his stupid son."

"Hmmm… I see." Jin Liwei nodded. He turned his head to the side so that they were looking at each other's eyes.

"But that's only a minor reason. I suddenly have a bad feeling about that stupid idiot. I can't explain it exactly, but I'm worried about his next actions," Iris said with a frown. "If he continues acting delusional and stupid like what he did earlier this evening, then we'll truly become enemies. Like I just said, there are also other people involved in this situation. If it's only him, I don't mind clas.h.i.+ng against him. I'm just afraid that if I really become complete enemies with him, he'll do something to punish me by using our G.o.dson and Ying Yue. I can't bear that, darling."

Jin Liwei scowled at the idea. "He's not a man if he dares use his woman and child in that way."

She tightened her arms around him. "That's why I only banned him here in the penthouse, even though I wanted to ban him from the entire condo building. I'm just worried that if I do that, he'll do something drastic like forcing Ying Yue and Little Jun to leave here and to come and live with him instead. He might even retaliate by banning us from seeing them. I don't want that. I want Ying Yue and our G.o.dson to be close to us."

"Jiang Ying Yue won't go with him. She wants a safe and stable home for her son. The condo is exactly that," Jin Liwei a.s.sured her. "This is the woman who rejected the stupid idiot's proposal many times before because I'm guessing that she doesn't think that he could provide her and their son a safe and stable home."

"You're right. But don't forget that he's still our G.o.dson's father. If he starts fighting Ying Yue for custody, then things will just become messier. I don't want Little Jun to have to go through something like, Liwei. It'll scar him for life."

Iris knew what kind of emotional damage a child could suffer when the parents were at odds against each other. Even though she didn't have any firsthand experience of it as Evelina, the memories of the original Iris were more than enough to prove that an experience like that could warp a person for life.
