His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627 - Forget I Asked

Dragon Palace Home #10.

That night, Iris arrived home exhausted just before dinner time. She got an earful from Tang Yiyi when she returned to work after leaving Jin Liwei’s office with red, puffy eyes. Fortunately, the swelling went down after she used a cold eye mask, a prototype for a future Orchidia Beauty product.

Jin Liwei called to tell her that he would be running late tonight but promised that he would come home before bedtime. They still wanted to talk more about what happened earlier in his office before sleeping.

Later, Iris headed to the kitchen for dinner. Surprisingly, Lu Zihao was also there. He had been absent for quite some time ever since the bomb incident. The siblings hadn’t seen or spoken with each other for many days.

Lu Zihao looked as exhausted as Iris, maybe even more so than her. He must’ve been very busy with whatever he had been doing. She knew that she was one of the reasons why he was so busy because he and Jin Liwei were jointly working on their own investigations to find out the real mastermind behind the bomb attack. Her own investigations on the side had also gained a few small clues but nothing too significant yet. They had been cooperating by sharing their investigations results.

The Shadow Winds’ hacker team was a great help in decreasing her burden in the investigations. She discovered that they collectively named themselves as the hacker ShaWn and had helped her contain the malicious online hate campaign against her right after the bomb incident. Sometimes, she would impart some hacking tips and tricks to them that would leave them all ecstatic. They were improving at an impressive rate, greatly pleasing Lu Zihao. However, they were still several leagues below a world-class master hacker like Iris, but that was only because she was a monstrous genius.

They needed to dig deeper in order to find out the real mastermind(s) behind the bomb incident. With each passing day that they failed to find anything concrete, Iris became more certain that either the mastermind(s) or the protector was a formidable hacker like her. This only made the situation more dangerous yet also more exciting for her.

But for now, she had to put this whole matter aside because of how exhausted she felt after everything that happened at Jin Liwei’s office today.

The brother and sister, Lu Zihao and Iris, ate dinner with the others except for Jin Liwei who was still at work.

"I heard that you visited Third Brother in his office during lunch," Lu Zihao talked in a casual tone while they ate. "But then I heard something interesting."

Iris already had a feeling what he was about to say but still asked, "What is it?"

"I heard that you left his office with red and swollen eyes." He placed his chopsticks down and looked at her.

His aura became dangerous, making Dom and Jiang Ying Yue shut up from their own lively conversation and then cower in their seats. Fortunately, Little Jun was too young to sense danger so the toddler continued eating his food, unaware of the change in the atmosphere.

"So tell me, little sister," Lu Zihao said in a deceptively light voice. "Did you fight with Third Brother?" Then his voice turned cold. "Did that bastard make you cry?"

Although affected by her brother’s deadly aura, Iris still straightened her back and replied to him in a calm, firm voice. "Liwei is not a bastard, Big Brother. He’s my future husband...and...and the father of my future baby...or babies."

His eyes narrowed, his lips thinned, and the air grew colder.

Dom and Jiang Ying Yue shivered and avoided looking at the siblings. Little Jun continued eating happily and entertained himself by watching the antics of his cat cousin, the goofy Popcorn.

"And no, Liwei and I didn’t fight," Iris continued. "He didn’t make me cry. Technically, it wasn’t him."
