His Genius Wife is a Superstar

"Not that I'm aware of," Jin Liwei said after some thinking. "You know what? I'll ask my grandmother and mother if they know of any twins from any branch of our family tree."

"Okay," Iris replied.

"How about in your side of the family? Do you know of any twins? I heard that the possibility of having twins is higher if it comes from the mother's side. But if it's from both sides, then it's even higher."

She tilted her head to the side and started combing through the memories of the original Iris Long. It wasn't an easy task because the original Iris Long wasn't particularly close to any of her relatives from both the Long and the Wei sides, making her not very knowledgeable about the specific details of her family tree.

"It's fine," he said after seeing her difficulty in providing an answer. "We can investigate our genealogical records another day. Besides, even if there aren't twins in our bloodlines, so what? It just means that we're destined to have twins for our children."

She nodded. Their fight wasn't completely resolved yet until they had their discussion about her revised work schedule, but for now, all she wanted to do was stay comfortable in his embrace. He smelled so good that she didn't want to leave his arms. Her head rested on his chest while she listened to his strong and regular heartbeat.

Then she remembered the home pregnancy test kits. Curiosity once again ignited inside her. She pushed away from Jin Liwei's embrace and started examining all the different types of test kits.

"I want to use these," she said.

He raised an eyebrow. "But we already confirmed that you're pregnant. The hospital blood test and ultrasound are more accurate than those test kits."

"I still want to try!"

A doting smile lifted the corners of his lips. "Okay."

Iris randomly chose five of the test kits and headed to the bathroom. There was still a lot left. She didn't want to spend the next half an hour peeing just to use up all the test kits the butler bought. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

Jin Liwei waited outside the bathroom door because she didn't want him inside while she was peeing. Three minutes passed with no word from her inside. He decided to knock on the door.

"Love? Are you okay in there?"

No reply.

His heartbeat sped up. Did something happen to her inside? Did she faint again? Oh no! As soon as the thought entered his mind, his body automatically moved and opened the door with a bang.

"Xiulan!"

She was startled at his sudden entrance but soon became amused and also touched upon seeing his panicked expression. "I'm fine. Don't always think of the worst-case scenario or your hair will turn white very soon."

He responded with a grunt and looked around to make sure that she was indeed safe. Then he noticed the pregnancy test kits. "You're still not done yet?"

"I can't pee," she said in a sheepish tone. "I was going to ask you to get me some drinking water but then you suddenly barged in here."

"Oh. Alright. Wait here. I'll be back."

Less than a minute later, he returned with a bottle of mineral water from the mini fridge in their suite's living room. She thanked him and drank almost the entire bottle. Then she shooed him out of the bathroom again.

He waited for about five minutes before she called him to come inside. The five test kits were all lined up on the sink countertop. The results weren't out yet.

"I bet a million RMB that they'll all come out positive," he said.

She elbowed him in the waist at his poor attempt of a joke. Then she realized what she had just done. "Oh no. I'm sorry! I forgot that you're still injured. Did I hurt you?"

What she did only felt like a small nudge to him. He was about to tell her that he was fine but when he saw her concerned expression, he changed his mind and then twisted his face in "pain". He pretended to double over and even groaned in a convincing manner.

"Darling!" She became flustered in an instant. "Oh no. What should I do? Tell me!"

He continued groaning. "Kiss."

"What?"

"I need a kiss to stop the pain."

Seeing the mischief twinkling in his eyes, she finally realized that he was just pretending and teasing her. She had the strongest urge to kick him in the balls but managed to restrain herself. His balls were very important to their sex life. She couldn't hurt them. Lucky him.

"Congratulations. You have better acting skills than a showbiz celebrity like me. Go ahead and be proud of yourself, Mr. Jin Liwei. Keep it up. Maybe you'll win a Best Actor Award next time," she said in a tone filled with sarcasm. Then she ignored him and concentrated on the test kits.

He moved behind her and pulled her close to his body in a tight hug. Then he began nuzzling her ear while whispering, "Wife, husband wants a kiss."

She tried shaking him off but that only made him hug her tighter. The atmosphere between them had lightened a great deal so she wasn't that angry at him anymore. On the contrary, all his current teasing was bringing her into a playful mood as well.

Despite this, she still pretended to be annoyed at him while teasing in return. "The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later."

He paused for a few seconds, unsure of what she meant. Then he leaned forward behind her and released one of the loudest laughter she had ever heard from him.

His laughter flowed without any restraints. It sounded absolutely wonderful. She could feel his chest vibrating from laughter directly on her back. It was a surprisingly pleasurable sensation.

She sent a quick mental thanks to Dom for the joke. This brief episode made her feel so much better. Her mouth curved up in a bright smile.

"Oh, look!" she exclaimed in excitement. "The results are coming out!"
