His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740 - You’re Not My Master

When Jin Liwei returned to the bedroom, he didn’t see his baby girl on the bed. He paused for a moment by the doorway and straightened his spine, as if preparing himself for an upcoming battle. He heard noises from the walk-in closet so he headed there.

Iris’ back was facing him when he entered but she still heard him with her great hearing. She was in a half-dressed state and in the process of putting on a stylish, tailored jumpsuit. Without turning around, she spoke in a cold, flat voice. "I can’t find my phone. Where is it? Ketchup isn’t responding to me no matter how many times I call her, that brat. I need to contact Elder Sister Yiyi and apologize to her for missing my 7 AM work commitment today."

She sounded like she was talking to a subordinate. Her tone irked Jin Liwei but he tamped his own temper down. Patience, that was what he needed right now. And understanding. His woman was pregnant. His second brother already warned him that her emotions would be all over the place, possibly during her entire pregnancy.

Sighing, he straightened his back once again before replying. He explained that she left her phone in their suite’s living room when she fell asleep on the couch last night. It was already low on battery that time. He didn’t bother bringing the phone with them when he had her transferred to their bed. The phone should still be in the living room, maybe already drained of battery.

"I contacted your manager last night when you were asleep, so you don’t have to call her again," he said. "She already knows that you’re not coming today. We discussed about cancelling most of your showbiz commitments and keeping them at a minimum while you’re pregnant."

She spun on her feet and finally faced him. Her eyes were blazing in fury. "Who’s we? Because I don’t remember being involved in that discussion."

His eyes narrowed but managed to keep his expression neutral and his voice calm. "I made the decision for you as your husband and the father of our children. It’s what’s good for you. Remember what Second Brother told us. You should scale back on your work now that you’re pregnant. Exhausting yourself is not allowed anymore, Xiulan."

"I’m pregnant, Liwei. Not incapacitated. Second Brother said that I should scale back, not completely stop working. There are many other pregnant women who’s still fully capable of working like usual in their careers and they’re doing just fine. I can gather some confirmed data to prove it to you if you want."

He didn’t reply but made it obvious to her from his rigid silence that he wasn’t planning on backing down on his decision. He believed that he was correct. Her twisted expression indicated that seeing him like this was angering her even more. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).
