"Are you coming with Eldest Brother Yehan?" Iris asked.
"I don't think I will," Jiang Ying Yue said in a whisper. "I think that Sir Liwei will appreciate his brothers' presence more than mine."
Iris sighed. "I won't force you. Also, call Liwei Third Brother instead of Sir."
Jiang Ying Yue made a sheepish face. "I don't think I can do that yet, Xiulan. I'm so used to calling him sir that calling him Third Brother sounds too weird for me."
"How about Big Brother Boss?" Dom asked in a teasing tone. "You also call him Sir Zihao instead of Fifth Brother."
This time, Jiang Ying Yue winced. If Jin Liwei intimidated her, then Lu Zihao outright terrified her.
Lu Zihao gave them a side eye but otherwise didn't comment. He continued trying to feed the rowdy and messy Little Misha.
There were splashes of orange baby food on his shirt. If it were only him present, he might have already begun lecturing his son but his wife was there to stop him.
Long Jinjing had grown a stronger spine ever since she began therapy to deal with her post-partum depression. She was now able to state her mind clearly to her own husband, not allowing him to get his way all the time, especially when it came to their differing views on how to discipline their children.
Lu Zihao could only restrain his temper and wait patiently until his sons grew up a little to begin training them into strong, disciplined young men.
Little Jun's kidnapping was tragic and extremely traumatic to the child, but Lu Zihao thought that it brought unexpected results for them. It made his wife and sister realize the importance of training all their children in self-defence. Now, both his wife and sister weren't resistant to the idea of him training his sons and nephews in the near future how to fight.
Of course, the two women insisted that what the kids should learn was mainly self-defence, but since Lu Zihao planned to be in charge of the training, he would make sure that the rascals would learn much more than just basic self-defence skills. He would make sure that they would be prepared for almost anything so that what happened to their eldest cousin Little Jun wouldn't happen to any of them in the future.
Neither Long Jinjing nor Iris had any idea that their husband/brother was planning on running their kids to the ground with harsh training in the future.
After breakfast, Iris received a phone call from her husband.
The couple chatted for a while.
She sensed Jin Liwei's depressed mood and tried lifting it up by coaxing her babies and their cousins to say hello to him. It worked…but only a little. She knew that he was just forcing himself to smile for their family's sake.
"I'm okay, love," he tried reassuring her. "Grandma Li is awake. We'll know the results of her medical tests later today. I requested that they fast-track the results."
"Take care of yourself, darling. I love you."
This time, his smile was genuine. "I love you, too, Evelina."
The phone call ended.
"Dom," Iris called. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Yes, Boss?"
"Can you please arrange nutritious meals to be delivered for my husband and the others at the hospital? I'm worried about them, especially Liwei. He has lost a lot of weight since Grandma Li collapsed."
