His Genius Wife is a Superstar

It was easier for Iris to cool down than Jin Liwei. She only needed to visualize the patchwork of big, ugly bruises on his back and her worry for him soon alleviated her desire.

On the other hand, unlike her, he needed to deal with a massive, raging erection which didn't feel like it would be calming down very soon. At this rate, he would probably need to hop under an ice-cold shower to force it to behave. He couldn't bear to use his hand to give himself temporary relief when she wasn't able to do anything for her own desire. That wouldn't be fair to her, and he would only feel terrible about it.

If both of them had to suffer from this abstinence until he healed, then so be it. However, he needed to think of something to tide themselves over during this period of time because both of them would probably go crazy if they continued on like this.

His woman was pregnant and her out-of-whack hormones weren't only causing extreme mood swings but increased sex drive as well. It wasn't only her. He felt like his libido had also shot off the roof after confirming that she was pregnant with his babies. His inner macho man was thumping his chest in triumph at impregnating her. In short, this abstinence was torture to both of them.

His dark, frustrated thoughts were interrupted when she plopped herself down on the nearby chaise longue all of a sudden, looking pale and weak. He immediately rushed to her and knelt in front of her. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"What's wrong, love?" Cold sweat beaded her skin when he touched her. Anxiety made his heart hammer inside his chest. "Ketchup, get someone to prepare the helicopter ASAP! We're flying your mom to the hospital. Hurry!"

"On it, Daddy! Meow! Oh Mommy, please be okay! Ketchup is very sorry for running away like a scaredy-cat earlier this morning. Wuwuwu!"

Iris groaned and swatted Jin Liwei's hands when he attempted to lift her. "Stop it."

"Don't worry, love. I'll bring you to the hospital right away. Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. Don't panic."

She glared at him with half-opened eyes. "Tell that to yourself," she muttered. And in a louder voice, she said, "Ketchup, call off the helicopter. I'm okay."

"Call it off. Now!"

"Daddy, should Ketchup call off the helicopter? Meow?"

Iris' expression turned black when she heard the cat AI that she created with great difficulty ask for Jin Liwei for clarification first instead of following her instruction right away. Her voice dropped to several degrees. "I see. Indeed, Ketchup has become a daddy's girl that she's now completely ignoring my words and only listening to her dad."

"Wuwuwu! Don't be angry at Ketchup, Mommy! Ketchup listens to both Mommy and Daddy equally just like how Mommy programmed my cute and mighty system! Meowuwuwu!"

"Dear wife, that's not true—"

Iris raised a hand to stop Jin Liwei from speaking. "Hmph! Just call off the helicopter. I'm really okay. There's no need to take me to the hospital."

His expression hardened. She knew that it meant he would stubbornly insist on taking her to the hospital no matter what if she failed to provide him with a valid reason.

"I said I'm fine!" she snapped. "I'm just too hungry that I feel dizzy. I need food, not the hospital! Ugh, you're all being so annoying!"

Jin Liwei's hard expression cleared in an instant. "Right. You haven't eaten breakfast yet since you woke up. Sorry, love. I should've have made you eat first before anything else," he said, his voice filled with guilt. "Ketchup, quickly inform the chef to prepare a big meal for your mom and have it delivered to our suite."

Iris mumbled something but Jin Liwei failed to hear it. "What did you say, love?"

"I said I want something with chocolates," she said in a more irritated tone.

He ignored her irritation. In fact, it was as if he didn't notice it. He was now looking at her with a gentle and doting smile. "Ketchup, chocolates."

"Got it, Daddy! Meow!" Five seconds later. "Mommy, Uncle Chef says there are chocolate brownies, chocolate fudge, and champorado available. What does Mommy want from these three choices of desserts?"

"What's champorado?" Iris asked.

"It's a sweet Filipino chocolate rice porridge, Mommy. Uncle Dom requested it so Uncle Chef had to search for a recipe online because Uncle Dom is hopeless in the kitchen and couldn't teach Uncle Chef how to make it. Ketchup saw Little Junjun enjoy champorado this morning so it must've tasted super-duper good. Uncle Dom also almost cried like a silly baby when he took a bite, saying that it reminded him of his Momsy's cooking when he was a cute, little boy! Meow!"

"Oh." That made Iris curious. She turned to Jin Liwei. "Did you taste it?"

He shook his head. "I woke up very early today so I ate breakfast alone. That champorado must not have been ready yet at that time."

"I want all three desserts," Iris told Ketchup.

Just the thought of eating those delicious-sounding desserts was already making Iris salivate. Her mood also improved. She no longer felt as irritated at the Jin Liwei-Ketchup duo as before.

"Looks like our twins have quite the sweet tooth," Jin Liwei commented.

Iris subconsciously rubbed her flat stomach. "You think that's the reason why I'm craving so much chocolates?"

"En. You're normally very moderate on how much you eat, especially when it comes to desserts."

She nodded, then sighed. "I should've realized that I might be pregnant when my cravings started. But I only thought that it was normal hunger pangs resulting from overwork."

He moved to sit beside her. "Now we know."

She opened her mouth, about to say something, but was interrupted by Ketchup's overexcited child voice.

"Mommy, Daddy! Ketchup has something to report! Uncle Haohao is back! Yay yay! Meow~"

Iris froze. Then she panicked.
