His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175 - Stupid Hormones

Long Tengfei was caught off guard. He wasn’t able to reply to his daughter’s words for a few moments. Iris didn’t speak and patiently waited for him to gather his wits. He opened and closed his mouth. She could almost see the gears in his head turning, thinking of a way to answer her.

In the meantime, she continued enjoying the pastries in front of her. Knowing that her health plan didn’t allow her to overindulge in sweets, she took mini bites of the already bite-sized pastries, savouring their taste as if they were the best food in the world. Well, for a pregnant woman like her, anything that satisfied her cravings was considered as the best food in the world at that moment.

She was on her third pastry when Long Tengfei released a long, drawn-out breath. It seemed that he was finally ready to speak. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Xiulan...." He sighed again.

"Yes, Father?"

"He’s your brother."

She knew who he was talking about and murmured, "Indeed, he is."

"And he’s my son."

She stopped eating. Her emotional intelligence had grown by leaps and bounds this year. Although there were still situations that she couldn’t read accurately, she wasn’t as dense as before. She immediately knew what Long Tengfei’s words meant. She placed the half-eaten pastry back on the table and focused on Long Tengfei.

"Father, I remember having a similar talk with you before about your eldest son’s falling out with your grandchild’s mother and the rest of us. He hurt Sister Ying Yue too much and even slandered one of my husband’s best friends on national news."

Long Tengfei remained silent.

"It was my understanding that you wouldn’t interfere in our conflict when we talked about this matter last time but it seems that I was wrong." Iris tilted her head to the side. "Father, he has to pay for what he did." _{freёwebnovel.com}

Another sigh from Long Tengfei. "I know that I said something like that before but..."—sigh—"...as a father, I just can’t sit still while I watch my own son going through something like this. If this happens to you or your other siblings, I would do the same thing. I can only do this much for all of you and use my wealth and influence to protect my children."

Iris didn’t react much but her nose started to feel a little sting and her eyes watered. Ugh. Her emotions were starting to overwhelm her again. Almost anything was able to make her feel touched now. She wanted to scoff at Long Tengfei but her feelings were doing the opposite.

It seemed that she was starting to...sympathize with Long Tengfei’s predicament as a father who was caught between his children’s conflict which also involved his first grandchild, Little Jun. She scowled. This wasn’t good. She had to take firm stand not be swayed like this because of her unstable emotions.
