His Genius Wife is a Superstar

451-455

Jin Liwei knew that she was just an AI, not a real cat or person, so it was impossible for her to have her own soul. Nevertheless, he and Iris still treated her like their own child—a very smart one at that. Everyone in both their households also interacted with Ketchup like a human, even more so than they did with Ice Cream and Popcorn because she could hold an actual conversation with them.

Jin Liwei had actually grown to love a virtual cat as if it was his own child. In a normal situation, he would think that it was something ridiculous and even childish. It was similar to those news reports about weird people marrying anime characters. But ever since he fell in love with his baby girl, there wasn’t anything normal about their lives anymore.

He was engaged to marry one of the most brilliant yet dangerous hackers in the whole world. He had confirmed that she was the real Drakon. Not to mention that she was also a student of the legendary school of geniuses, Cross Academy. She also made him a father of three kids (so far)—two live cats and a virtual one. Her eccentricities influenced him to adjust his own definition of what was weird and what was normal.

Ketchup might be weird to others but for him, his baby girl, and everyone in both their households, the virtual white cat was an important member of their family. No matter what others thought, Ketchup was his child with Long Xiulan! He didn’t want anything bad to happen to their child. Seeing Ketchup’s almost lifeless appearance on the computer monitor filled him with a parental kind of fear.

Jin Liwei gripped the edge of the ergonomic chair, mentally sending his baby girl strength to defend their third child from danger. He was worried, but he believed in her hacking skills.

’You can do it, love,’ he silently cheered for her.

As for Iris, she had already figured out the pattern in the automatic attacks on Ketchup. The attacks may seem random at first, but a hacking-aid software she developed had successfully calculated the attacks’ algorithm.

Iris was about to activate Ketchup again and feed her the algorithm so that she could also start defending herself, when the attacks suddenly changed patterns and even increased in intensity. The attacks this time no longer felt random but targeted and more vicious.

"It’s a person!" Iris exclaimed.

Her fingers increased in speed and became more fluid, as they flew all over the several keyboards surrounding her. She entered a deeper level of concentration. Although her body wasn’t tense and was performing in its optimal state, the deepening furrow between her brows and the droplets of sweat trickling down her forehead and back showed that she was actually struggling against the enemy hacker.

"Must protect Ketchup, must not let her be discovered, must not let anyone steal her..." she muttered like a mantra, even as her entire aura began to change.

The furrow between her brows smoothed out. Her expression became cold, and her movements more mechanical. It was like she had transformed into a highly efficient robot. She even stopped sweating.

Jin Liwei, who was standing beside her and was watching her the whole time, frowned and did a double take. Then he rubbed his eyes and looked at her again.

For a moment, he thought he saw a beautiful but emotionless blonde woman instead of his baby girl. But when he looked again, it was still his beautiful Long Xiulan. He shook his head at what he thought was his overactive imagination.

’I must be tired. My eyes are playing tricks on me,’ he thought to himself.
