His Genius Wife is a Superstar

116-120

"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.
