His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024 - Sensitive Child

"What in the world happened? This is the first time that I’ve seen Bacon cry. He says that you, his father, are the one who doesn’t love him anymore and made him cry so hard like this."

Jin Liwei sighed but slowly began to relax a bit because his wife wasn’t automatically blaming him. She wanted him to explain what happened first and to understand the entire situation. Fortunately, she didn’t get into one of her extreme mood swings.

He explained to her what happened in the most objective manner that he could without shifting any blame to either himself or their AI son, Bacon. Ketchup also interjected her own version of the events as a spectator.

Bacon’s golden eyes were glowing again which meant that he was back in the control room. He was still crying but not as hard as before. There was an obvious wronged expression on his face. He also avoided looking directly at his father.

Jin Liwei saw all this and sighed once again while massaging his suddenly aching temples. He didn’t think that he was wrong at all in disciplining his own AI son. What he was worried about the most was his wife’s reaction after hearing what happened.

He wanted to avoid arguing with her on how to discipline their AI son, especially since she had the tendency to spoil each and every one of their cat children without any reservations. In short, he had to play the bad cop all the time while all their children adored her because she rarely scolded them.

"I see," Iris murmured afterwards.

Jin Liwei and their two AI children all waited in nervous silence for her final verdict.

Bacon in particular looked very different from usual. His bored expression was nowhere in sight. He looked very pitiful instead.

Jin Liwei already felt his heart softening at the sight. He had no doubt that his wife was also seeing the same pitiful appearance of Bacon on her end. If he was already softening, then how much more so for her?

If she decided to side with their AI son, Jin Liwei was already prepared to back off this time. It wasn’t worth it to deal with both an upset wife and an upset son at the same time. He planned to wait for today’s emotions to calm down and address the issue on another day.

Both he and Iris knew the kind of personality that Bacon had. If they failed to discipline him properly right now while he was still young (he was basically still a baby), then who knew what kind of dangerous troubles he would find himself into someday when he matured?

It also didn’t help that the kid admired his Uncle Zihao a lot, not to mention that the majority of his personality was based on that uncle, and liked to spend most of his time working at Shadow Winds. Although Bacon enjoyed teasing his Uncle Zihao, the truth was that the kid was more interested in his uncle’s line of work than his father’s. That in itself was already a great source of worry for both Jin Liwei and Iris.

However, they already agreed to let Bacon work for Lu Zihao. In this way, the couple hoped to be kept updated to both Lu Zihao and Bacon’s activities and be able to quickly help them out of danger if needed.

Back to the present situation, Jin Liwei finally heard his wife’s verdict.

"Bacon, you misunderstood your dad," Iris said in a gentle voice.

Jin Liwei’s eyes became gentle. He was pleased but not because his wife sided with him but because of her obvious warm, motherly tone as she spoke to their AI son. He knew that she still feared turning into a bad mother but he believed 100% that she was already a terrific mother.

She may lack the heart to admonish their children most of the time but it didn’t mean that she was someone who allowed their children to do whatever they wanted without fearing any negative repercussions. When needed, she knew how to be firm, never allowing any of their children to walk all over her head. Nevertheless, she would still leave the harsh lecturing of their children to him.

The teary Bacon sniffed, his child’s voice trembling. "Mother...wuwuwu...my money...."

"Oh, Bacon. Don’t be so upset with losing money, okay? Money is just money. If you lose it, fine. You are the son of your father and me. We know that you have the ability to earn more money just like your father and I."

"And Ketchup, too! The cute and mighty Ketchup has the ability to earn more money, too! Meow~"

Iris chuckled. "Yes. And your Big Sister Ketchup, too. So what’s there to be worried about? Our family is filled with competent people who know how to earn money."

Bacon blinked his tearful golden eyes. "But Mother...."

"Besides, your father didn’t say that he’ll cut off your allowance and take all the money you’ve saved up forever. He only said that he’ll do it if you misbehave again. If you behave, then there’s no need to worry, right?"

"Wuwuwu...."

"If you misbehave, your father will ground you like usual. In addition to that, he’ll also cut off your access to your money. But if you learn your lesson and start behaving again, then the money will be returned to you. It’s as simple as that. I also think that this is reasonable."

’Bacon is actually such a sensitive child,’ Jin Liwei thought. ’Maybe even more so than Ketchup.’

’Me, too,’ he replied in his mind.
