"You didn’t seem to mind their presence much before," she said.

"It’s different now. You’re pregnant. We need to be extra careful, love."

She wanted to argue with him but thinking more about it, he was correct, so she shut her mouth. Nevertheless, she still felt torn, especially since this involved her brother.

"I know that you trust Fifth Brother," he said, his tone becoming gentle. "But I hope you understand where I’m coming from. My main priority will always be you and our family. I can’t risk our safety just because of unknown factors. So if only for our peace of mind, I need to know more information about Fifth Brother’s subordinates, especially these new foreign recruits that he brought today."

Sighing, she nodded. "I understand."

"Good." He smiled.

"Ketchup," she called. "Do what your dad says."

"Aye aye, Mommy and Daddy! Now sending all files of Uncle Haohao’s subordinates who come and go inside our home to Daddy...

"Transfer complete! Meow~"

She closed her eyes and felt a faint, throbbing ache in her temples. "We need to inform Big Brother about this. Though I don’t know if he’ll like it."

"Naturally, we’ll let him know," he assured. "As for whether he’ll like it or not, he just has to suck it up. Fifth Brother often disappears to who knows where for long periods of time, anyway. It’s very rare for him to stay here at home for a week straight. So he can’t dictate what we, the master and mistress of this house, should or shouldn’t do inside our own home. Remember, love. Our home, our rules."

She pouted at his words but still nodded in agreement. Still, this was her brother they were talking about. Although she understood that things were different now than in her past life, it was still quite difficult for her to separate the domineering image of Nikolai Vetrov which was stamped deeply inside her soul from who he was now as Lu Zihao.

In their past life, Nikolai Vetrov only followed the Vetrov laws. And if something fell through the cracks that the Vetrov laws didn’t cover, then he would just make his own rules. This "our home, our rules" that Jin Liwei was saying would never apply to the Vetrovs. The Vetrovs didn’t even give a damn about the laws governing sovereign states, so why would they care about individuals’ personal rules? If someone told them "our home, our rules" in the past, they would surely laugh before putting a bullet at the poor person’s head.

’This is not the past. This is now,’ she reminded herself.

Jin Liwei was right. Despite this, she still couldn’t help but feel nervous. Perhaps her uneasiness wasn’t really about interfering with her brother’s business or respecting his privacy. Maybe it was more about her fear of what she would eventually unearth once she dug deep enough about what he really had been doing all this time. She knew deep down that her brother had an intense desire for revenge for the Vetrovs’ annihilation. And knowing him, he wouldn’t rest until he achieved all his goals even if he had to go through hell.
