His Genius Wife is a Superstar (Web Novel)

Lu Zihao sighed, a little grumpily, a little helplessly, and a little dotingly. "I know. I can see it clear as day. I’m glad that you finally feel alive and free now, little sister. That you’re living the life that you always wanted together with the man you love. I’m glad that he’s beside you, taking care of you, supporting you, protecting you, and loving you..."

Then his lips curled in bad temper. "But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have the urge to punch him in the face every time he acts like he wants to jump you like a horny dog in a rut. I know as Lu Zihao that he’s a good and loyal man—but dammit! I really want to beat the shit out of him sometimes, especially when I know that he’s often undressing you in his mind when he sees you!"

Iris giggled. "Big Brother."

"What?"

She leaned forward and whispered, "Actually, it’s not only Liwei who’s horny. I also want to jump him and make love with him almost all the time. I also undress him in my mind and—"

"STOP IT! DON’T SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE!!!" Lu Zihao roared. "I can’t hear anything! I don’t hear anything! My little sister is forever a virgin in my mind!"

Iris threw her head back and laughed. She doubled over and laughed even harder when he glared at her. Trying hard to control herself, she forced a serious expression on her face.

"You’re overreacting, Big Brother. I might’ve been naïve when it comes to sex before I met Liwei and became sexually active with him but I wasn’t completely clueless about it, even in my past life."

He opened his mouth, about to interrupt her but she didn’t let him, continuing to speak instead. "I know for a fact that you’re not a virgin either, Big Brother. That you also sleep with women, both in your past life and now as Lu Zihao. I also know that you don’t form attachments to the women you sleep with and only treat them as bedmates, nothing more. You have your own arrangements, I also have mine...with my fiancé who I love very much.

"My point is that both of us are adults now. We both know what sex is, what it’s like, and even experience it on a regular basis. Well, I don’t know how often you get it, but as for me and Liwei, we certainly do it regularly—"

"Okay, that’s enough! I get it—" he tried interrupting.

"—so I don’t understand why you get so angry every time I talk about my active sex life with Jin Liwei who is, by the way, my fiancé and my future husband. He’ll be your brother-in-law, you know, and also...also...the father of your future human nieces or nephews."

Her hand involuntarily moved to touch her flat stomach but she caught herself in time and stopped it. Her big brother was an observant person and had extremely sharp eyes. He would surely catch her action of touching her stomach after talking about Jin Liwei fathering her future human children and then grow suspicious.

Although her big brother lived the way he did—cold, detached and rarely formed close personal or intimate ties with others except for her—she knew that he was a traditional person. It was only now that he was living as Lu Zihao that he formed close relationships with others besides her, choosing to maintain the previous ties of the original Lu Zihao with Grandpa Lu, Jin Liwei and their other sworn brothers, and a few other people. She was glad to see that he wasn’t limiting himself to these relationships but were also expanding his connections to the people she had grown close to as Iris Long.

As a traditional person and also as a fiercely protective older brother, she knew that he would go crazy if she became pregnant out of wedlock. She decided that it was safer to act cautious around him when she still wasn’t sure if Jin Liwei got her pregnant today or not.

While Iris was busy with her own thoughts, Lu Zihao felt livid yet also helpless at her. "You...you...YOU!!!"

He was a man in control of his own emotions, yet in front of his precious little sister, he had been rendered speechless. His sister always had been straightforward to a fault, but that was part of her charm which he and their father in their past life adored. Still, sex life as a topic of conversation between siblings was still too much information!

"This conversation is over," he announced in a firm voice.

The exhaustion that he was already feeling earlier became worse all of a sudden. It was exhausting trying to deal with his sister’s honesty and straightforwardness! Despite this, he would never fault her for it. All he could do was sigh. "It’s getting late. I’m tired and need to sleep. You should, too. I hear that you have a full schedule tomorrow."

She nodded and lifted herself on her tippy-toes to kiss him on the cheek. "Good night, Big Brother. Sleep well."

"Good night, little sister."

He wanted to walk her to her suite but she declined, saying that she wasn’t going to her room yet. She watched him walk away and disappear as he headed to his own bedroom. When he was finally out of sight, she pressed a hand to her flat stomach, gently rubbing it.

Anxiety filled her, especially after talking to her brother. Their conversation prompted her to remember something important that she needed to talk about with Jin Liwei.

"Hurry home, darling," she whispered into the night.

10.14 PM.

Jin Liwei handed his coat and tie to the butler while heading to where his baby girl was waiting for him. He wanted to eat dinner with her but couldn’t because of how busy it was at the company right now.

Normally around this time of the year, he would choose to stay in the office and rarely went home. And if he needed to go home, it would be awfully late, hours after midnight, sometimes just before sunrise. But that was when he was still a glorified bachelor. Now he had a (future) wife waiting for him at home...and possibly, a little bundle of joy inside her womb.

His steps quickened as excitement filled him upon remembering the "accident" that happened to them when they made love in his office earlier. His long legs traversed and reached the music room in a short time.

The door was open when he arrived. Tempestuous piano music gushed out of the room and drenched him as soon as he entered. The light was turned off, yet he immediately saw his baby girl playing the piano under the dim light of the moon by the window.

Jin Liwei was mesmerized.

He stopped in his tracks, leaned by the doorway, and just watched his woman produce such otherworldly music with every press of her graceful fingers on the piano keys.

The music was chaotic, like a thunderstorm, yet still sounded harmonious and beautiful, a wonder of nature. Sometimes it was fast and urgent, foreboding and erratic. At other times it was peaceful and delicate, sweet and uplifting.

It gave him goosebumps.

He had never heard this music before and instinctively knew that it was his baby girl’s own composition. He also knew her well enough to understand that this new composition must be her trying to make sense of her turbulent emotions caused by what happened to them in his office earlier today. She wasn’t able to fully express her feelings in words, so she could only do it through the method of communication that she was a master of—music.

Emotions welled inside him, as he immersed himself in listening to her music. There were no words, yet now he grasped the true depth of her anxiety and fear and also discovered her excitement and happiness that he couldn’t fully understand when they talked earlier. He thought that he understood her then. How wrong he was.

Her music allowed him to understand her true emotions in a way her own words couldn’t. Unable to contain himself any longer, he walked towards her, using his long legs to reach her faster. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her and nuzzled the side of her neck.

Iris closed her eyes and smiled, leaning her cheek to his nuzzles. She continued playing the piano while in the arms of her lover in the moonlit night.
