His Genius Wife is a Superstar

His wife's menacing words made Jin Liwei's heart jump and beat faster. He swallowed hard and felt his mouth go dry. She looked so damn sexy, but seeing her serious demeanour, he forcefully tamped down on his urge to push her down on the bed. This wasn't an appropriate time to enjoy wicked, carnal things with his wife all night long. He was able to quickly regain control of himself before continuing to accompany his wife.

Iris felt better after getting these dark thoughts off her chest. She had no idea that she had just unwittingly seduced her husband. Her eyes were filled with appreciation for him for listening to her. "Do you really want to see a photo of what I looked like as Evelina?"

"En." There was no hesitation in his answer this time.

She tilted her head to the side and thought about it for a few seconds. "Okay."

His eyes lit up. "Really?"

She nodded. "But not tonight. I'm sleepy again."

"That's alright."

"I'll look for some of my photos and show them to you another day."

"En. There's no rush. Take your time."

"How about my brother's photos? Do you also want to see what he looked like before as Nikolai Vetrov?"

He hesitated before shrugging. "If you have photos of him, I'll look, but if it's too much of a hassle for you, then don't bother. All I want is to see what my wife looked like before."

"Okay." She yawned.

Moments later, she fell into deep sleep again.

Jin Liwei stroked her hair as he stared at the ceiling while thinking about all the things they talked about tonight. He didn't know when his wife discovered his deal with her brother to provide Nikolai some assistance that would keep Shadow Winds out of the authorities' radar in exchange for regular transparent updates about the group's activities and precautions not to endanger his wife and their family should Nikolai and Shadow Winds fail in some way in the future.

"Tsk." He couldn't help but feel irritated by his brother-in-law's recent recklessness. Glancing at his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms, he felt a strong urge to call his brother-in-law and scold him.

During their conversation earlier, Iris described her brother as a meticulous man causing him to frown with skepticism. She wasn't able to detect his skepticism though, only seeing his frown and asking him about it. Fortunately, he was able to divert her attention away from his instinctive reaction.

He couldn't stop himself from reacting like that earlier. Nikolai was a meticulous man? If the man's recent actions were any indication, Jin Liwei would scoff at the claim. Based on what he observed so far, his brother-in-law was becoming more and more impatient and too reckless—far from the meticulous man that his wife believed her brother to be.

If it weren't for Bacon who was providing him with daily, unfiltered reports about Shadow Winds' activities, Jin Liwei wouldn't have known that the group was currently at a very precarious situation.

To be honest, Shadow Winds could go to hell for all he cared, but Nikolai who was now living as his Fifth Brother Lu Zihao was very adamant in using the group to avenge the Vetrovs. It was clear that the man would never be at peace in this lifetime if he didn't achieve his bloodthirsty goal.

If his wife's brother was at peace, then she would also be at peace. This was what Jin Liwei cared the most about—his wife's peace of mind, so that she could continue to live in happiness with him and their family for the rest of their lives.

Sighing, his eyes finally closed as he drifted into a restless dream.

Jin Corporation.

The weekend ended in what felt like a blink of an eye. It was Monday, the start of another busy week, yet the weather was cold and cloudy. Everyone around Rose Young was grumbling about the chill in the air but she didn't care about it at all. She entered the company with a bright smile and confident walk.

"Good morning, CMO Young!"

In a good mood, she nodded and responded to those who greeted her. "Good morning!"

Although there were still people in the company who didn't like her especially after witnessing her trying to cozy up with their President Jin, they had to admit that she was doing an excellent job so far as the Chief Marketing Officer. Most of the employees already stopped gossiping about her after seeing how many times she failed to elicit a reaction from President Jin. The secret Black Stars in the company, however, continued to regard her as a potential homewrecker just biding her time before stealing President Jin away from their Boss Iris.

Rose Young used the elevator to get to her office, sneering in her mind after overhearing some of the employees' whispers about what they considered her shameless pursuit of President Jin. She knew that they were Iris Long's supporters.

'I still have a chance. Big Brother Liwei hasn't married that slut yet.'

The elevator door opened and she headed to her office. Her assistant immediately greeted her before approaching with a work tablet. She waved a dismissing hand before her assistant could go near her.

"We'll go over my schedule later. I need to check a few documents first. I'll call you later."

"Understood, CMO Young."

Rose entered her office and closed the door. Then she headed straight to the full-length mirror installed inside and started fixing her outfit. It was a business dress but looked sexier than usual. She opened her purse and started retouching her makeup and spraying her hair for more volume. Unlike what she told her assistant outside, she wasn't checking documents at all but was making herself prettier in front of a mirror like a girl about to go on a date.

She made a few poses and sultry expressions on the mirror before nodding in satisfaction. Excitement filled her.

"I have to look my best because Big Brother Liwei is finally returning to work today."

She needed to work harder in making him hers as soon as possible to make it more peaceful for everyone after her Young family and their remaining hidden allies in the Jin clan successfully forced Jin Liwei into marrying her.

A big smile stretched on her face at the thought of marrying her dream man.
