It was very frustrating for Lu Zihao that he couldn't provide his group with the best weapons that he was used to when he was still the crown prince of the Vetrov organization. Procuring high-quality weapons, something that he took for granted in his past life, was now extremely difficult to do especially on a limited budget.

He already amassed quite an impressive wealth for his group but it still wasn't enough to fund everything that he wanted to do. There were still a lot of things that needed to be done.

Sighing, he left the armoury and headed straight to the training room to let off some steam. The remnant was still silent which gave him some much-needed peace and quiet. He wasn't looking forward to it "waking up" and pestering him again.

The remnant promised Sun Jingfei that he would take the mother and daughter to a restaurant for dinner tonight. He wasn't available at all and yet the fool made a promise without consulting him first.

Fuck. This was one of the reasons why he didn't do relationships. They were too much of a hassle.

However, the promise already came out of his mouth, albeit it wasn't actually him who made it. He wasn't such an asshole as to cancel a simple dinner especially if it was with his own woman and her mother.

The mother and daughter, Sun Jingfei and Long Jinjing, were both good women. Eating dinner with them shouldn't be too bad. Perhaps it might even relax him a bit before he had to talk to his sister and Jin Liwei face to face very soon.

Later, Lu Zihao was in the process of decimating his second punching bag in the training room when the now familiar carefree voice began talking inside his head again. Despite his irritation, he was determined to ignore the remnant.

"By the way, Nikolai. You told your sweet and shy Jinjing that she's your first girlfriend. Asshole, I think you've totally forgotten that you're now me, Lu Zihao. What if one of my exes show up in front of her? How will you explain your 'lie' to your pretty girlfriend?"

He only realized this point after the remnant told him. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"Fuck!"

He started beating up the poor punching bag until it joined the other decimated punching bag on the floor.

The remnant laughed with great delight inside his head. "Good luck, dude!"

Dragon Palace Home #10.

It was already past midnight when Jin Liwei returned to the bedroom. He just finished an important and very long business meeting via video call conference at his home office with a few investing partners from different parts of the world. Since they were all in different time zones, some of them had to attend the virtual meeting beyond regular office hours like him.

The meeting started after dinner for Jin Liwei and went past midnight. It wasn't only him who was busy today.

Iris also had several meetings earlier at JJ's record label. She met with the other artists that she had chosen to perform the extra songs she wrote. A few agreements had already been successfully finalized that very day while the others were still pending. Most of them were excited to work with her.

Fortunately, her pregnancy symptoms didn't flare up too badly during the meetings. She didn't bring Little Liwei, the big teddy bear, with her this time but she wore a men's sweater that Jin Liwei wore the previous day. She managed to survive all of her meetings without fainting or making other people suspicious of her oversensitive behaviours.

Jin Liwei felt relieved that nothing happened to his baby girl while she was out working earlier today. He already hired a private, live-in doctor for her while waiting for the hospital wing to be built in their home. The doctor would accompany her wherever she needed to go.

She was unhappy that there was an additional person following her around but she didn't complain because it was not only for her sake but also for their twin babies' health and safety.

They ate an early dinner together at home before he had to head to his home office for the video conference. Ketchup sent him text updates during the video conference about what his pregnant wife was doing.

Iris was at her home studio working on her music. However, she only spent a couple of hours there before heading to their bedroom to sleep early. She brought Ice Cream and Popcorn to accompany her in bed while Jin Liwei was still busy working at his home office. Ever since her nightmare, she had become a little afraid of sleeping alone.

Back to the present, Jin Liwei climbed on the bed and lay down beside his baby girl after changing into his pyjamas. The annoyed Ice Cream meowed a sleepy complaint at him for disturbing her beauty sleep on the bed while Popcorn remained sleeping on the chaise longue without stirring.

After kissing his sleeping baby girl on the lips and petting the surly Ice Cream, he fell asleep soon as well. Some time later, he was dreaming of two, little daredevils running all over their home while he and his baby girl laughed in happiness when he was awakened by a sudden movement beside him.

"Hm?"

He opened his eyes a crack and saw his baby girl rushing to the bathroom.

"Don't run," he murmured in a sleepy voice.

He thought that she must be in a hurry because she couldn't hold her pee anymore. The frequency of her need to pee had increased ever since she became pregnant, so he wasn't surprised that she woke up rushing to the bathroom. He closed his eyes again, intending to go back to sleep.

Then the loud sounds of vomiting started coming out of the bathroom. His eyes flew open in an instant. The two cats moved faster than him. They were already running like little rockets to the bathroom before he could even jump off the bed. Even the fat Ice Cream managed to move with a speed that she hadn't displayed in a long time since she was a kitten.

"Love!"
