His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 747 - I've Known Him Longer Than You Do

Chapter 747 - I've Known Him Longer Than You Do

Thankfully, the food arrived before Iris could resort to eating Jin Liwei's face. Just the mere sight of food energized her enough that she could move by herself without relying on his a.s.sistance despite feeling weak and dizzy due to hunger. He felt relieved at her great appet.i.te.

However, he had to order a couple of dishes to be taken away after she complained about their "nasty" smell. She hadn't reached the point yet of having morning sickness or vomiting, but her oversensitivity to certain smells was becoming more p.r.o.nounced with each pa.s.sing day.

The chef also prepared food for Jin Liwei so that the couple could eat together. Brunch for her, lunch for him. After the food had been set up on the table in their suite's living room, Jin Liwei noticed that there seemed to be a big excess of food enough for another person to eat besides the two of them.

"Mr. Lu Zihao called ahead and informed me that he would like to join the master and the mistress to eat lunch once he arrives," the butler explained. "Therefore, I took it upon myself to have the chef prepare additional food for him. He should be here in a few more minutes."

"Big Brother must be tired so he should rest first," Iris mumbled. "We can see each other later."

Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow at her unusual behaviour. If this was before, she would be bursting in excitement whenever Lu Zihao returned home from his frequent long periods of absence. "You don't want to meet Fifth Brother? That's fine. You don't have to. We can have someone tell him that you're not feeling well right now, so he should visit you later instead."

She looked tempted at his suggestion for a few seconds before eventually shaking her head. "No. That won't work. If he wants to see and talk to us, n.o.body here can stop him."

"I can." Jin Liwei looked sure of himself.

She threw him a sidelong glance which was suspiciously tinged with doubt. He narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

"Dear wife, what kind of expression is that? You don't believe your own husband?"

"I believe you," she said, a little too hurriedly. Then she stuffed her mouth with food and paid him no more mind. Right now, the food was more attractive to her than him.

He sighed and also began eating. But unlike her, food would never be more attractive than her to him. He enjoyed watching her eat with more enthusiasm than usual. Even though her table manners had become a little clumsy in her rush to put food in her mouth, in his eyes, she was still the most elegant woman in the world.

She finished her plate in no time before quickly moving to the chocolate desserts that she had been eyeing since the food arrived. This time, she didn't rush eating but took her time.

"Ketchup, when is your uncle coming?" she asked, her nervousness returning.

"Uncle Haohao has already entered the mansion. At his current walking pace, Uncle Haohao should arrive at Mommy and Daddy's suite in 3 minutes and 21 seconds! Meow~"

Iris paled after hearing how soon her brother would be arriving. Too soon! [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove s.p.a.ces).

"Relax, love. Why do you look so nervous? It's just Fifth Brother. Or did you do something behind his back and now you're feeling guilty?"

She threw him a sullen look.

"What?" He was confused.

"Big Brother is going to kill us," she muttered.

Her words only made him more confused. "Why? What did we do?"

"You got me pregnant before marriage."

He blinked. After a few seconds, he gave her a gentle smile. "Love, I think you're overthinking."

"I'm not overthinking!"

"Here, try this." He distracted her by placing a small bowl of champorado in front of her to prevent her from rocketing into another mood swing.

"Mmmn~ Delicious!" Her eyes closed as she savoured the homely taste of the chocolate rice porridge. After a few mouthfuls, she remembered what they were talking about before he distracted her. "You need to take this seriously. Big Brother will really get mad at us."

He only shrugged. "No, he won't. But even if he does, so what if I got you pregnant? He already knows that we'll be marrying in less than a month. He knows that I love you and you love me. What's the problem? The order we did things might not be socially ideal, but so what? I don't see why it should be his business."

"But—"

"But nothing, love. I've known Fifth Brother longer than you do. He might've changed a lot and have become more intimidating now but I know that in his core, he's still the same Fifth Brother that I've known since we were children. I'm sure that he'll be happy for us and excited to become an uncle to our twins."

'No, you're wrong. I know him longer than you do. Because he's not the same Fifth Brother that you know.' These words whispered in her mind but she didn't dare say them out loud.

Jin Liwei asked, "Does he even know that you're pregnant?"

It was Ketchup who answered him, chiming in on their conversation with her lively child voice. "Yes, Daddy! Uncle Haohao knows that Mommy is pregnant. Remember when Daddy proudly announced to Uncle Butler and the key household staff that Mommy is pregnant so they should all take good care of her? The word spread and everyone at home soon knew about it. Uncle Haohao's subordinates immediately contacted him and told him that Mommy is pregnant! Ketchup heard their whole conversation! Would Mommy and Daddy like to hear the recording? Meow~"

Iris closed her eyes and groaned. "Now we've done it. Instead of hearing it from us, he had to hear the news from someone else. He'll really kill us!"

Jin Liwei only chuckled, not at all concerned.

"Oh! Uncle Haohao's here! Meow~"

Before Iris could react, they heard three sharp knocks, and then the door opened. In strode Lu Zihao, looking somewhat different than the last time they saw him.
