1372 Beautiful Family

Long Jinjing couldn't imagine being with another man other than Lu Zihao now. If their marriage ended up failing in the future—of course, she always prayed that this would never happen—she considered spending the rest of her life alone without entertaining suitors. She would just dedicate her time and energy on raising her children and improving herself as a career woman.

Without a doubt, Lu Zihao had become the love of her life. She loved him so much that it literally hurt just imagining her life without him by her side.

This was why she had been unable to stop herself from lashing out at Iris when Lu Zihao became comatose. All the fear, anger and panic overwhelmed her so much to the point that she had to release them or go insane. It was unfortunate that her sister became the most convenient target for her volcanic emotions.

Now that she apologized to Iris and resolved the misunderstandings between them, the invisible pressure weighing down on her had lightened up a lot. She didn't expect that the conversation with her sister would go this smoothly.

"Thank you, Xiulan." A drop of tear flowed down her face.

Iris grabbed a box of tissue from the side table and handed it to her. Long Jinjing wiped her watery eyes and smiled at her sister.

"By the way, I already finished the custom configurations of your new house's surveillance system," Iris said. "Bacon will be in charge of it. He's excited to help protect his twin cousins."

Long Jinjing's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you so much!" Then she became a little unsure. "I think Bacon and Ketchup are upset with me. They haven't spoken to me since we fought."

Iris sighed, shaking her head. "Everything should be fine now. They were just throwing a bit of tantrum for my sake. Their dad..."

"I get it." Long Jinjing smiled in understanding.

Her brother-in-law, Jin Liwei, must be feeling upset with her after she blamed Iris for causing Lu Zihao to fall into coma. Bacon and Ketchup must have followed their father's example and refused to interact with her. Long Jinjing didn't blame them. Even she would cringe whenever she remembered how she blamed her sister for what happened to her husband.

After a moment of hesitation, she called out to the air, "Bacon? Ketchup?"

"Aunt Jinjing," Bacon answered in the next second.

"The cute and mighty Ketchup is in the house! Meow-yeah!"

"Are you still mad at me?" she asked.

"Since Aunt Jinjing already made up with Mother, Bacon is not angry anymore."

"Don't worry, macaroni! Ketchup is filled with so much cuteness and mightiness that there is no space to hold a grudge against Auntie Jinjing for too long. Love ya, Auntie Jinjing! Please don't fight with my mommy anymore. Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Meow~"

"Thanks, Bacon and Ketchup."

Long Jinjing felt relieved. It was like the air she was breathing felt fresher.

That night, Iris told her husband about her conversation with Long Jinjing. Jin Liwei didn't react much.

"Don't be angry at her anymore," she said. "Okay, darling?"

He made a sound of assent.

She pouted and coaxed him with some hugs and kisses. He took advantage of the situation and changed the mood into something more sensual.

They only stopped when Little Mochi's loud, demanding wail interrupted them.

Jin Liwei sighed. It was always their eldest twin son who interrupted their sexy time. He gave his wife another hard, deep kiss and her butt a light squeeze before changing Little Mochi's diaper.

Truth be told, he was still a little upset with Long Jinjing. Not kicking her out of his home after what she did to his wife was already the limit of his kindness to the woman.

Now that Long Jinjing apologized to his wife, his anger had reduced a lot but a bit still remained. Maybe it was because he didn't personally witness the apology. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Well, it didn't matter what he felt about the situation. His wife already made up with Long Jinjing. It wasn't like he could force his wife to continue being at odds with the woman.

Perhaps he was being petty by nursing this little bit of grudge but his wife would always remain his main priority. Anyone who offended her would automatically become his enemy. He was angry at Long Jinjing but he was also angry at Lu Zihao.

The things that Lu Zihao said to Iris were more hurtful than what Long Jinjing said. Despite this, Jin Liwei still wouldn't wish something ill to happen to his brother-in-law. As a matter of fact, he wished that Lu Zihao would wake up from coma soon so that the two of them could talk man to man.

Jin Liwei was distracted with his own thoughts while changing his eldest twin son's diaper. He didn't notice the mischievous glint in Little Mochi's eyes. Before he knew it, a jet of pee hit him. historical

Only his quick reflexes allowed him to move his face out of the way at the last second. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about the rest of his body. Everything from the neck down didn't escape from the sudden pee attack.

"Jin Haoyu!" Jin Liwei stood there in disbelief as he looked down at his pee-stained self.

Little Mochi giggled. He farted, too.

Even the well-behaved Little Matcha laughed at his daddy's current state.

"What happened?" Iris asked as she came out of the walk-in closet where she had been organizing the new apparel products from Orchidia Baby for Little Mochi and Little Matcha to try.

Jin Liwei didn't answer. He just showed her the front of his clothes soaked with their eldest twin son's pee.

Iris paused before doubling over in laughter. Hearing their mommy's lovely laughter, the twins while he showered.

No matter how annoyed Jin Liwei felt, happiness and contentment still filled his heart. The family laughed harder.

The target of the mother and sons' laughter, Jin Liwei—poor guy, couldn't maintain his annoyance for too long. His mouth twitched before he, too, chuckled.

Sighing, he could only clean up Little Mochi's mess and continue changing the naughty baby's diaper. It was only then that he removed his clothes and took a quick shower. He wanted his wife to join him but there needed to be someone watching the kids so she stayed with the babies instead while he showered.

No matter how annoyed Jin Liwei felt, happiness and contentment still filled his heart. The family that he managed to build with his wife was something he never could have imagined when he was still a bachelor.

Back then, he thought that he would just marry anyone that his mother or grandmother arranged for him when he couldn't avoid it anymore. He never felt sexually attracted to anyone in the past. He thought that he could at least force himself to bed whoever became his wife even if he didn't love the woman or felt attracted to her in any way.

Marriage and having children were just duties to him to continue the family line.

It was only when he met his wife that everything in his life suddenly felt alive and colourful. He never thought that he would become this passionate for a woman. It turned out that he always had this capability. He just hadn't met the right person yet until his wife came along.

After showering, he watched as his wife sang an English lullaby to their twins. It didn't take long before Little Mochi and Little Matcha sank into dreamland.

Iris kissed each of her babies. Then a pair of strong arms hugged her from behind. She turned her head and Jin Liwei kissed her.

The kiss was soft and slow. The sensuality would always be there, but this time, it was more to demonstrate their contentment with each other.

"Thank you, Evelina," Jin Liwei told her after their mouths separated.

"For what?" She turned around so that they were facing each other.

"For giving me a beautiful family."

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Likewise. I'm also very grateful to you for giving me this beautiful family."

They were about to dive into another kiss when Little Mochi woke up and interrupted them again with another wail.

Jin Liwei looked up at the ceiling in resignation while Iris went to figure out what their fussy eldest twin son wanted.

It took a while for her to finally realize what Little Mochi wanted. He settled down and immediately returned to sleep after she gave him a small stuffed teddy bear.

"Little Mochi must be missing his Big Sister Ice Cream," Iris murmured while caressing their fussy baby.

"Ice Cream has her own schedule," Jin Liwei said. "Tonight is with her Lu cousins. I'm sure that she'll be back to accompany her baby brothers tomorrow night."

Iris chuckled.

Ice Cream adored her twin baby brothers and twin baby cousins. She rarely left the babies on their own. On the other hand, Popcorn still wasn't too interested in the babies. He still preferred his older cousin, Little Jun, who could actively play with him every single day. Perhaps when the babies became a little older, Popcorn would also accompany them more along with Little Jun.

"Second Brother Yingjie will be coming to take a look at Nikolai tomorrow," Jin Liwei mentioned after they climbed on their bed.

"Oh." Iris nodded. "That's good. I doubt that he'll find anything new but we never know. I'd rather have Second Brother, someone we trust, to take a look at my brother than a stranger. What if other doctors insist on studying my brother's condition? That's something we want to avoid at all costs. I might even be implicated because I already experienced this before."

He hugged her. "Don't worry, love. I won't allow anyone to study you or your brother. I'll always protect you."
