His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 116 - Just Like Candies

Chapter 116 - Just Like Candies

After the cat wonderland was set up, the men ate a late dinner. Dom, of course, the one with the bottomless stomach ate again, even though he already ate with the rest of the household earlier.
Iris accompanied them for about five minutes before excusing herself to the bedroom.
Jin Liwei watched her go, concerned. He noticed that she was listless and sometimes even looked like she was in pain. He asked her about it, she gave a straight answer.
"I have my period. My cramps are very painful this time."
Xu Tian choked on his food and coughed violently. Jin Liwei's two subordinates remained expressionless, but a suspicious red flush crept up from their necks to their ears. Jin Liwei was also speechless. He glared at the three, silently accusing them for not covering their ears in time. It was certainly their fault, not his baby girl's for being too brutally honest.
When Iris left, Jin Liwei turned to her assistant who was currently shoving big spoonful of food into his mouth. Dom immediately understood and swallowed everything. Then he started spilling everything that happened during the launch party.
Jin Liwei's expression turned blacker the longer he listened. Thank goodness that his Fourth Brother's teachings seemed to be effective and his baby girl was able to successfully apply her Systema skills in real life. If she wasn't equipped with any self-defence skills, then those b*tches would've already smashed her with those mic stands. He would make sure that those three b*tches would be punished and far away from his baby girl.
After dinner, he headed to the bedroom followed by his men lugging suitcases. Dom also called some of the maids to help out.
Iris was on the bed resting, trying to find a comfortable position. She looked at the group and at the many suitcases, a question in her eyes.
"My clothes and other stuff," he explained. "So I won't have to carry a sleepover bag every time I stay here."She looked at him, silent.
He waited. Everyone waited for her decision.
"You're moving in?" she asked.
"I guess."
"Yes or no."
He took a deep breath. "Yes, I'm moving in."
She stared at him again. He had the urge to squirm under her intense gaze but stopped himself. He waited patiently without moving, like everyone else.
"If you're moving in, you'll have to pay for half of the household expenses."
"Of course!" His face was bright. "I'll even pay for everything, if you want."
"What did you say?!" She suddenly sat up, slamming a hand on a pillow. Her face contorted in anger, as she shouted at him. "You think I can't afford my own household?! Are you looking down on me, Jin Liwei?! You dare insult me this way?!"Everyone shrank back, almost wanting to run away and escape from the room. They all looked at Jin Liwei, mentally pushing him forward to fix the situation.
'Why did you have to anger her? Do something! The Young Miss is too scary!" they all thought.
Jin Liwei was taken aback at her sudden rage. For a few moments, he didn't know what to do. He felt a sense of danger if he didn't calm her down soon. He gathered all the courage he could muster and stepped forward.
"Baby, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry. I absolutely have no intention of insulting you. Believe me." He edged closer and cautiously sat down on the bed. He prayed that she could see his sincerity.
"I'll pay half. Nothing more, nothing less. Forget about the other thing I said. It was careless and stupid. Okay, baby?"
"Hmph!" She turned to the rest of the group. "Bring the suitcases to my closet and make space for his things."
They hurriedly did her bidding, quickly escaping, afraid that she would explode again.
"Go take a shower," she told Jin Liwei after the group left.
"Okay, baby. Thank you." He tried his luck and leaned forward to kiss her.
She stayed still and allowed his lips a quick peck before pushing him away. He sighed but didn't push it.
Iris saw the sad expression on his face and felt guilty. She pressed herself against his chest and hugged him. "Sorry. I don't feel like myself today. I'll be fine after a few days."
He kissed her forehead, already feeling so much better. He hugged her as well, careful to keep his touch as light as possible. "Don't worry. I understand. I'm glad I'm home."
She looked up and smiled softly. "Me too." Then her expression turned annoyed. "Go now." She plopped herself back on the bed, ignoring him.
"…"
He had no choice but to drag his pitiful self to the bathroom.
After his shower, his baby girl wasn't on the bed anymore. He found her in the walk-in closet, instructing everyone where to put his stuff. She would take things from his suitcase and look at them with curiosity.
He entered, wearing nothing except for the bath towel around his waist. Xu Tian and the two subordinates didn't react. Dom gasped loudly, covering his mouth with his hands in an exaggerated manner. The maids blushed and quickly avoided looking in his direction.
Iris saw the maids' reaction and scowled. "You can all leave now," she said.
Everyone scurried out, making sure to close the door behind them. They were afraid that she would direct her line of fire at them.She continued to ignore him, organizing his remaining things herself. Jin Liwei had no choice but to put on his pyjamas in silence.
Iris removed a pair of folded pants from the suitcase and a small box fell off.
"Hm?" She picked it up. She read the label. She blinked.
It was a box of condoms.
Then she noticed that there were more at the bottom of the suitcase. She removed the clothes on top.
Lo and behold!
About a hundred boxes of condoms greeted her sight. They were in different types, colours and flavours.
Huh? Condoms had flavours, too?
How interesting.
Just like candies.
