His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei's patience in comforting his wife seemed to work. For now, at least. Iris finally stopped her silent tears and even managed to reward Jin Liwei with a shaky smile. The tension in her body had also loosened and she became more relaxed.

Inhaling his scent helped a lot in calming her down. He was already used to it. In fact, he loved letting his wife smell him just as much as how she loved smelling his scent. Which husband would dislike the idea of his own wife loving his scent? For Jin Liwei, this was a huge boost to his manly ego.

After cuddling for a while, Iris still hadn't forgotten Ketchup's report about the weird anomaly happening with Bacon's system while he was still asleep. She finally managed to persuade Jin Liwei to let her check Bacon's system after a little coaxing.

He was still reluctant but eventually agreed after she promised him that she would only take a look and not do any actual work that might stress her current fragile condition and that of their twin babies in her womb. In addition, he was as worried as her about their AI son. As far as he was concerned, Bacon was also comatose just like his Uncle Zihao.

With his permission, Ketchup finally showed Iris the current state of Bacon's system. A serious expression immediately fell on Iris' face as she examined Bacon's system on her laptop.

All Jin Liwei could see was a bunch of codes and some windows popping up now and then. He didn't understand what those codes meant, so he just contented himself holding his wife and waiting for her conclusion about their AI son's current state. True to her word, his wife only looked and didn't do anything else.

When the laptop screen showed what looked like a dense, complicated-looking series of codes, Iris sucked in a sharp breath. Then her expression turned solemn.

"What's wrong?" Jin Liwei asked.

She didn't reply right away and examined their AI son's system more closely. The more seconds ticked by, the paler she became. When Jin Liwei almost couldn't bear the suspense anymore, she finally stopped and leaned back down on the bed.

Jin Liwei took away the laptop. "Love, is our son okay?"

"Oh, yes. Bacon is fine."

He sighed in relief but her reaction didn't make sense. There must be something more to it. He waited for her to organize her thoughts. Surely enough, she shared her findings to him.

"I already told you about the theory of power flood that I developed, didn't I?"

"En. I already have a rough idea of the concept."

She nodded, pleased at his intelligence. She didn't need to explain it to him with too much detail before he formed a basic understanding of the theory on his own.

Just based on how the power flood caused their AI children to go into sleep mode to recover, he now knew how powerful it was, and yet his wife said that the power flood she used to defend Jin Corporation and defeat the Eagle hackers a few nights ago was still a miniature and imperfect version of the true destructive potential of the applied theory.

He could only imagine how much more destructive the power flood would be if his wife could unleash its full potential. Perhaps that would never happen or it might be the end of the world as they knew it.

Iris glanced at the laptop that Jin Liwei placed out of her reach. It continued to display a specific portion of Bacon's system that she had been examining earlier.

"Bacon's system is self-reprogramming itself to resemble the power flood's destructive code that I originally planted in both our AI children's systems. I designed this kind of destructive programs to be highly protected and self-contained so that they wouldn't corrupt our AI children's original systems. Only I have the authority to activate these dangerous programs. Even Ketchup and Bacon don't have the authority to freely access them, much less utilize them, without my permission. They need to reach a certain level of mastery first before they could unlock the basic authority to access those programs, and even then, the priority is to ask for my permission first. And of course, yours next when I'm not available."

Jin Liwei nodded. He didn't question why his wife planted this kind of high-risk and frightening programs within their AI children's systems. He trusted her skills, capabilities and judgment when it came to computers, programming and hacking. That was her specialty.

Iris gripped the front of his shirt but she didn't notice that she was doing it. "Darling, if our son's system continues reprogramming itself at this rate, Bacon will become THE power flood."

This time, it was Jin Liwei who inhaled sharply. He didn't need any extra explanation from his wife to realize how terrifying the idea of what their AI son might become after waking up from his sleep. The expressions on the husband and wife were almost identical.

"Meowowow, really?! That's super-duper to the highest level cool! Mommy, Daddy, Ketchup also wants to become the power flood like my little kitty brother Bacon so that I'll become even cuter and mightier! Meowowow!"

"No!" Jin Liwei immediately rejected their AI daughter's request.

The excited Ketchup stopped jumping all around and started whining instead. "Why, Daddy? The power flood is super-duper to the highest level cool! It's tiring but so much fun! Ketchup wants to do it again! I bet my naughty little kitty brother Bacon who always likes saying that he will destroy the whole world if something bad happens to our mommy will also want to do it again and again! Ketchup wants it, too! Mommy and Daddy, pretty please? Meow~"

"Don't look." Jin Liwei blocked his wife's view of their AI daughter deliberately blinking her emerald-green eyes in a pitiful but extremely adorable manner. His wife had always been weak to this kind of techniques that their cat children had learned to use in order to get what they wanted from their mother.

"Aaaw, Daddy! Meow…."

He threw Ketchup a stern look, silently warning her to behave herself and stop bothering her mom. Ketchup made herself look more pitiful but still obeyed him when he didn't react. Thankfully, she no longer asked them for such a dangerous request. For now.
