His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Lu Zihao gave his sister a sidelong glance. "That body may not be connected to Mother by blood but don't forget that your soul is, or spirit or memories, or whatever it is that was transferred from our former bodies into these new ones. You say that it's impossible? What's not possible after dying and being reborn into completely different people? We are still us but also not. Who's to say that you having twins has nothing to do with our bloodline in our past lives? I say that anything is possible at this point after everything both of us have experienced so far. Crazy, I know. But it's still a possibility."

Iris grew silent and thought about her brother's speculation. To be honest, she found it insane yet also extremely fascinating. If he was correct, then it would open a whole new world of wonder. Perhaps they could even find the reason of their rebirth. She itched to study and gather concrete data about the supernatural phenomenon of their rebirth but felt helpless about how to start. If only it was that easy to investigate something so otherworldly.

All this talking and thinking made her yawn. Her eyes were starting to close but there was still one thing that she wanted to clear up with her brother.

"Big Brother?"

"Hm?"

She took a deep breath before dropping the important question. "When are you going to accept that I'm pregnant?"

He raised an eyebrow and countered her question with another question. "When did I say that I don't accept that you're pregnant?"

That made her drowsy eyes light up. "You're not angry anymore?"

"I already told you, Evelinka. I'm furious—"

Her hopeful face fell.

"—but that's only natural because a naughty someone ignored her big brother's words and went ahead and got herself pregnant out of wedlock."

"Hmph!" She rolled her eyes and turned her head away from him. She was so over his old-fashioned ways.

A devilish chuckle made her look at him again, though. When she saw him again, his face had a softer expression.

"I might still feel furious but I never said that I won't accept your children. My dear little sister, all your children are my family, including all your damn cats."

She was already smiling before she even realized it. It was a smile that reached her eyes, making it crinkle with warmth and happiness. She even ignored the part where he said "damn cats". Her brain automatically filtered out the word "damn" and replaced it with "darling", thereby deluding herself into believing that he said "darling cats" instead of "damn cats".

"I only have one request," he said.

With her mood improved, the smile remained on her face as she asked him with eagerness. "What is it?"

Both his expression and tone turned grave. "Remember your promise to let the old man name your children. I don't want the poor kids to have ridiculous names like your damn cats."

Her happy expression turned surly in an instant. She was about to argue but was interrupted when the bedroom door opened. Jin Liwei finally returned and immediately headed to her.

"What happened?" he asked upon seeing her bad-tempered expression. Then he threw a cold glance at Lu Zihao, assuming it was the man's fault. "Did Fifth Brother scold you?"

Iris tried to sit up but her body felt too drowsy, so she raised both her arms and reached for her man instead. "Darling, Big Brother is so mean!"

Jin Liwei's expression turned colder. He hurried to sit by her side and held her hands as he glared at his fifth brother who sat there in a casual manner while looking at them in amusement. He asked her, "What mean things did he say to you? Tell me."

"He said…"

"En?"

"Big Brother said that our cats' names are ridiculous! And that we shouldn't name our twins like our cats. How could he say such a mean thing? Ice Cream, Popcorn and Ketchup—aren't they such adorable names? Right, darling?"

"Yes, of course, love. They're wonderful names."

Lu Zihao snorted.

Jin Liwei threw him a warning glance. Then he started giving both his baby girl's arms a gentle massage to calm her down and hopefully prevent her from having another extreme mood swing. His tender ministrations soon took effect and in just a few seconds, she fell asleep. He sighed in relief and brushed a few strands of hair away from her beautiful face. Then he moved to lift her up.

"I'll do it," Lu Zihao said. "You're still injured, Third Brother. My sister will throw a hissy fit if you hurt yourself again when you should be focused on healing."

Jin Liwei didn't reject the offer. He nodded and moved aside to allow Lu Zihao to carry his baby girl to the bedroom. "Careful. She's pregnant."

"I know."

After Lu Zihao deposited Iris on the bed, Jin Liwei covered her with the duvet and dropped a soft kiss on her forehead. Then the two men left the bedroom.

"Fifth Brother, let's go somewhere else," Jin Liwei said. "I want to talk to you."

Lu Zihao followed him outside the suite. They only needed to walk a short distance before arriving at Iris' piano room. Jin Liwei chose this room because firstly, it was near their suite so he could still rush to his baby girl as fast as possible if she needed him. Secondly, it was soundproofed. He didn't want other people passing by overhearing their conversation, including the gossip-loving Ketchup who he already warned not to eavesdrop.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lu Zihao asked as he perched himself on the wide windowsill.

Jin Liwei chose to sit in front of the piano. Then he observed the other man with a profound look in his eyes. "You reek of bloodlust."

"Oh?" Lu Zihao's eyebrows lifted in faint surprise at his words.

"I don't know what the hell you've been doing these days to become like that, Fifth Brother, and I'm not going to pry into your business. But you better be more mindful around Xiulan next time."
