Chapter 451 - Must Protec
Ketchup immediately obeyed her mommy’s order. She abandoned her task and retreated, quickly heading her way back to the safety of their home network. Unfortunately, she was unable to poof out of her current predicament. She had been more or less locked inside the virtual place she was in. Even her emergency escape doors were either corrupted or completely destroyed.
It wasn’t that Ketchup had been careless. Not at all. Iris programmed Ketchup to apply all safety precautions of the highest level first before performing any task, no matter how simple or complex it was. Not to mention that Iris was also present this time to oversee the situation and to make sure that Ketchup was performing exactly as she was instructed.
Just a few moments ago, Ketchup had been digging and gathering information about the members of the Young family who had history working for the Singapore branch of Jin Corporation. Since Iris didn’t give her any specific type of information to focus on, Ketchup randomly collected anything that she laid her paws on.
Everything was going smoothly...until Ketchup triggered some type of an intrusion detection system (IDS). It was hidden and very sophisticated that even an advanced AI like Ketchup failed to detect it in time.
Usually, Ketchup was able to circumvent or even completely disable any IDS because Iris had stored several ways to do so in her cat AI’s extensive database which continued to grow each day through self-learning. This IDS, however, wasn’t something Ketchup recognized. No matches were found in her own database. It was a completely new, never-before-seen IDS that was practically undetectable by hackers before triggering it.
It wasn’t Ketchup’s fault, nor was it Iris’.
The IDS was just that powerful. After triggering it, Ketchup instantaneously became the target of a malicious attack. This was the moment Iris reacted and shouted at Ketchup to retreat.
Back to the present, Iris immediately went into full hacker-mode in order to protect and retrieve Ketchup from her precarious situation. Ketchup wasn’t equipped to deal with such forceful and malicious attacks from an unknown source, so Iris had to manually defend her. Iris’ fingers flew over several keyboards in front of her in a blur. Her expression showed that she was in deep concentration.
Jin Liwei stood beside her and watched her in action. He didn’t dare make any sudden movements or noise that might disturb his baby girl and break her concentration. Her earlier shout had alarmed him. He looked at the image of Ketchup in one of the computer monitors on the side.
The white cat lay unmoving in her earlier sphinx-like position. Her green eyes lost their usual glow. They became dull and frozen instead. Her expression was blank, not animated like usual. It was as if her soul had left her body.
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.

HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR
C452 - Evolution
Chapter 452 - Evolution
Hours passed and yet Iris continued to battle the unknown hacker. She barely moved from her reclining position on the ergonomic chair. Her hands and eyes were the only parts of her body that were visibly moving.
Jin Liwei had to take a closer look at the up and down movements of her chest and shoulders just to make sure that she was still breathing. It was a little disconcerting to watch her so still...and so cold and emotionless. It didn’t feel like she was human anymore but a robot instead.
He was reminded of the time when the two of them were just getting to know each other. She often demonstrated this kind of cold and detached personality back then. But even so, her natural gentleness, innocence and curiosity would still surface. He had witnessed her gradually opening up and becoming more expressive as their relationship progressed. It gave him a great sense of satisfaction, as he believed that it was a result of her falling in love with him.
Comparing to how she was then and now, she was like a completely different person. But it wasn’t just her who had changed. He also did. Both of them did.
Although his baby girl appeared to have reverted to a more extreme version of her cold and detached self from before, Jin Liwei didn’t feel too bothered. This was also a part of her, and he accepted it. He loved everything about her.
If it weren’t for the clock showing the time, he would’ve thought that they had been inside the computer room for days. Now he understood when his baby girl tried to explain to him that she would often lose track of time whenever she was working on something inside the computer room. It was difficult to retain the concept of time in such an isolated place like this. He felt like they were in another dimension separate from the rest of the real world.
Finally, Iris slowed down. Her hands’ movements became more relaxed. The tense and anxiety-inducing atmosphere also began to disperse.However, she still didn’t stop and remained robotic.
Moments later, the seemingly lifeless Ketchup stirred. Her dull green eyes glowed brightly once again and her tail started swishing slowly from side to side. She released a tiny mewl. If it wasn’t so quiet in the room, Jin Liwei would probably not have heard her.
"Ketchup," he whispered, feeling a great sense of relief hearing such a tiny sound from the virtual white cat.
"Meow... Daddy..." she replied softly.
"Ketchup, run a full diagnostic scan on yourself," Iris’ cold voice ordered. Her fingers continued tapping on a keyboard, but in a slower pace this time.
The white cat mewled again.
"Yes, Mommy...
"Running full diagnostic scan starting now...
"0%...
"37%...
"96%...
"100%...
"Full scan completed!"
Then Ketchup started reporting the diagnostic scan results to Iris. Basically, she suffered no data loss or corruption of any kind on her system. She was just currently experiencing a slight lag in performance from having to abort her task so abruptly and entering self-protection mode to allow Iris to defend her from the malicious attacks.
Jin Liwei sighed in relief. He glanced at his baby girl who was still looking cold and emotionless. Not feeling intimidated by her at all, even finding her more attractive than usual, he leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips.
Her fingers froze on top of the keyboard. She turned her head for the first time ever since the hacking battle started and looked at him with cold eyes.
This time, he kissed her fully on the lips. She didn’t react, but he didn’t mind. He figured that she was still a little out of herself from concentrating too much earlier.
"You’ve worked hard, love," he murmured. "Thanks for protecting Ketchup."
Her eyes trembled a bit, finally showing emotion. Then gentleness replaced the coldness. A faint smile graced her lips.
"Let me finish this up first. I’ll tell you what happened later," she told him in a whisper. Her voice sounded hoarse.
"En."
He gave a quick peck on the lips before leaving her for a few moments. He looked around the other rooms until he found a kitchenette. He filled an empty water bottle with chilled water and drank. After he emptied the bottle, he filled it again, but this time with room temperature water. Then he returned to his baby girl.
Later, Iris finally finished what she was doing. Jin Liwei immediately helped her drink the water he brought. She drank thirstily, finishing the entire bottle. Afterwards, she leaned against Jin Liwei and released a big sigh of relief.
He squeezed himself on the seat, taking over it, and then pulled her to sit on his lap instead. He embraced her while giving her exhausted hands a gentle massage.
"He almost found out about Ketchup. If I didn’t make it in time and made it appear as if I was the one hacking in the first place, he would’ve gotten Ketchup." She looked at him and grabbed the front of his robe. "Darling, he almost got our baby!"
"But he didn’t," he told her while stroking her face and trying to comfort her.
The white cat stood on its four paws. "Meow~ Ketchup will work hard to grow into a smarter and more powerful kitty, so that Mommy won’t have to come to my rescue anymore. Ketchup will be the one to protect Mommy and Daddy next time. Meow~"
Iris only smiled.
"En," Jin Liwei replied with a nod.
At that moment, the white cat’s form transformed a bit. The changes were so subtle that even Iris, the cat AI’s creator, didn’t notice them at this moment. Ketchup became a little bigger, longer and sleeker. Her beautiful green eyes became less round and developed a slight silvery glow.
These changes were occurring at the same time that Ketchup was processing the data from the hacking battle earlier. Iris had fed her the data so that she could protect herself against similar attacks in the future.
Ketchup had started evolving, but her parents hadn’t noticed anything...yet.

Chapter 453 - One Of The Old Guys
HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR
C453 - One Of The Old Guys
Chapter 453 - One Of The Old Guys
While Ketchup was focusing on her secret evolution, Iris and Jin Liwei began talking about the hacking battle.
"Was it Eagle?" Jin Liwei asked. "It’s clear from our findings tonight that Eagle—that son of a bitch—is in collusion with those damn Youngs. And they’re doing it in the Singapore branch of MY company!"
Iris rested her head against his shoulder, feeling exhausted. The battle earlier took a lot out of her. She felt drained of almost all her energy.
"No, it’s not him. Eagle doesn’t have the ability to give me this much trouble," she told him.
Jin Liwei frowned. "Then who is it?"
"There are only a handful of hackers in the world who can make me struggle so much like this against them. And they’re those old guys. I don’t really know what their actual ages are, but they’ve been in this field for far longer than I am. That’s why I call them the ’old guys’. I heard rumours that Cross Academy recruited all of them but none accepted. I was the only one who did. Before I came, Cross Academy would occasionally hire them for some freelance work."
"So do you recognize the hacker you battled earlier?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Hackers of our level can mask all of our actions, even our own distinct styles if we really want to. We just don’t bother masking our styles because we don’t mind being recognized. This time, however, both of us masked our own styles. I didn’t recognize him, and I’m certain that he didn’t recognize me either."
"Then that’s good, isn’t it? That he didn’t recognize you," he said.
She nodded.
’Of course, it’s good. Those old guys would surely pop out from wherever they’re hiding and investigate once they discover traces of Fantom being active again. It’s best to make everyone believe that Fantom is dead,’ she thought.
Although Drakon was currently well-respected and idolized in the hacking community, (s)he still wasn’t considered to be on the same level as the legendary Fantom. Other hackers only deemed Drakon as having the potential to reach Fantom’s level someday.
"Unless there’s a new hacker who recently reached the most elite level in recent years, I can’t think of anyone other than one of those old guys who could give me this much trouble. Eagle doesn’t even have the right to be compared to any of those old guys—and me, of course. They’re not only many times more troublesome to deal with than Eagle but they’re also more dangerous," she told Jin Liwei.
He thought about what she said. "If the hacker you just battled is as amazing as you said, then why does it look like he’s protecting the Youngs? Ketchup got attacked because she was digging information about members of that damn family. How were they able to connect with such a fearsome hacker?"
"I don’t know. I think he’s also connected with Eagle and the other hackers I discovered in Jin Corporation’s Singapore branch." Then she gripped her hold on his robe. "We don’t know their motives yet, but if their intention is to harm Jin Corporation, then you must be very careful. As the President-CEO, you’re a prime target. It’s very dangerous if one of those old guys—if the hacker is really one of them—treat you as an enemy. Even Grandpa Lu would be helpless if they target him. After all, he’s not a hacker. I’m worried about you, darling."
Jin Liwei’s expression turned grave after hearing what she said. However, his eyes still became gentle as he looked at her worried expression for him.
He told her, "Don’t worry too much about me—"
"Of course I’m going to worry about you! I love you!"
His eyes widened before the corners of his mouth curved upward into a smile. "I love you, too. So much. Yes, this is love. You worry about me and I worry about you."
Then he suddenly remembered the self-deleting text message his Fifth Brother, Lu Zihao, sent him in the summer. Maybe this was what he was talking about when he said that Eagle had a possibly dangerous background. It just turned out that it wasn’t Eagle himself who was dangerous but the formidable hacker behind him.
Lu Zihao told him back then that he would be returning soon, but so far he hadn’t yet. Both he and his baby girl tried contacting him to ask him why he hadn’t returned yet, but he kept on telling them some sort of excuses.
"Soon," he would always tell them.
Jin Liwei felt a little pissed off at his Fifth Brother because his baby girl had been looking forward to his return so much only to be disappointed time and again.
’When that punk returns, I’ll give him a piece of my mind,’ he thought.
Then he thought of something else.
"Love, since we now know that the Youngs have been doing so many suspicious activities in the Singapore branch, I’ll immediately remove them from their positions and ban them from working at any Jin Corporation branches and our affiliated companies. Most importantly, I’ll fire that Rose Young as soon as I get to work in a few hours so that she won’t be able to bother us anymore," he told her.
"No!"
Jin Liwei was surprised. He frowned. "Why?"
"Darling, that hacker is protecting the Youngs including Rose Young. If he really is one of those old guys, then the situation isn’t as easy to solve as it looks. If you fire Rose Young and remove her family from power at the Singapore branch, then the hacker will surely become suspicious and investigate you—or worse, maybe even harm you.
"Just like how I have the ability to destroy Jin Corporation, he can also do it if he really wanted to. If I battle against him next time, I’m not even sure how it will turn out. He’s that formidable, darling. Any one of those old guys are all formidable. Nobody really won during our battle this time because I was too focused on escaping with Ketchup instead of defeating him."
The frown on Jin Liwei’s face only deepened after hearing her explanation. He clearly didn’t like the thought of allowing Rose Young and her family to continue working for Jin Corporation. It was like knowing one’s house was infested with pests but doing nothing about it.
Seeing his expression, Iris sighed. She framed his face between her hands.
"I know that it doesn’t feel good to keep traitors by your side, but we have to know first what the Youngs are planning and how they’re connected with the hacker I battled earlier and also with Eagle and the others. Besides, now that we know they’re up to no good, we can closely monitor them and be ready when they start to act on whatever evil scheme they’re planning," she told him.
He also sighed. Then he placed his hands on her hands framing his face and turned his head to kiss one of her palms.
"What you mean is ’keep your friends close and your enemies closer’, isn’t it?"
She nodded.
He sighed again. "I understand your plan, but I don’t like it. I prefer to cut the problem at its roots to prevent it from growing."
"I know. I also prefer your plan, but the problem is that we might be dealing with one of those old guys. I am confident in my own skills to go head to head against him, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll win 100% of the time. The stakes are too high if I lose. We might lose Jin Corporation and also endanger our safety if the enemies really want to harm us. I would choose your plan, if it weren’t for the possibility that one of those old guys might be involved. If one of them is really involved with the Youngs, then it’s safer for us to choose my plan. I don’t like it either, but it’s better to be safe than sorry," she told him.
He sighed several times before nodding. "Alright. But you have to be careful, love. I can lose everything, including Jin Corporation, but I can’t bear it if I ever lose you."
She nodded. "Be careful, too. I also can’t bear it if I ever lose you."
They embraced, just savouring each other’s warmth and presence.
A few moments later, Iris remembered something.
"Darling, help me sneak into Jin Corporation. Its current security system that I developed during the summer might be enough to block someone like Eagle, but it certainly won’t be able to stop one of those old guys. I need to update it from the inside."
"Alright," he said and paused. Then he told her, "You don’t need to sneak in. Just walk in. You’re their future Madam. There’s no need to sneak in like a thief."

Iris giggled.
"Yes, Mr. Jin. I am indeed the future Madam Jin. And yes, I plan on just walking into Jin Corporation for everyone to see after we officially announce our relationship to the public. Soon."
"En, soon. I can’t wait," Jin Liwei said. "Alright. I’ll arrange for you to sneak in whenever you want. I’ll contact Gu Chang and Diao Yijue to accompany you inside."
She nodded. Then she tilted her head to the side, as a thought entered her mind. "Since we now know that Eagle has been tampering with the Singapore branch’s system, then maybe his real target is Jin Corporation and that the hacking on the other companies is just a front."
"Hmm... Or maybe the targets are all the top companies in the country," he said.
"Oh. Let me check."
She immediately did a quick check while still sitting on his lap. Indeed, she found traces of Eagle on the other top companies’ branches in different parts of the world. Like the Singapore branch, it seemed that he had been given access by someone from the inside.
Jin Liwei’s expression became grave after she told him of her findings.
"It seems like we’re up against something much bigger than we first thought. It’s not only the Youngs. There are also a lot of others conspiring with this...power. If their goal is to control the country’s business sector, then taking over the top companies is the way to go. Control the top companies of a country and you basically control its economy," he said.
Both of them were quiet after he said this. If this was before, Iris wouldn’t care about something like the economy. However, she was now a full-fledged businesswoman. She had no choice but to care about the state of the economy.
Afterwards, Iris spent a few minutes strengthening Ketchup’s security. She did notice some minute differences in Ketchup’s properties, but she dismissed it as the natural effect of the self-learning function. The differences were so subtle that it didn’t make Iris concerned.
The attack on Ketchup earlier made Iris more protective towards her. Ketchup was like the culmination of Iris’ hacking skills and experience so far. She wouldn’t let anyone obtain her cat AI—no, her baby.
If the hacker earlier was really one of those old guys, then they would definitely want Ketchup for themselves if they ever discover her. They were fun to challenge her skills and to compare notes with, but as enemies, even Iris felt wary of them. If they got their hands on Ketchup, they would surely transform her into something completely unrecognizable.
Finally done for the night, Iris and Jin Liwei prepared to leave the computer room and return to their bedroom. They could still sleep for about a couple of hours before they both needed to wake up again for another workday.
"Meow~ Goodnight, Mommy! Goodnight, Daddy! Ketchup will wake you in 1 hour and 49 minutes."
After saying goodnight to their kid, the two left.
###
In the bedroom.
Jin Liwei carried his exhausted baby girl towards the bed. She was almost asleep but still waited until both of them were lying on the bed together.
"Hm? What’s wrong, darling?" she asked sleepily after noticing that he was staring intently at her face.
"Nothing," he said. He paused for a few seconds before deciding to be honest. "Actually, I had this weird experience earlier. I’m sure that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me."
"What is it?" she asked, trying to stay awake to listen to what he had to say.
"While you were battling the hacker earlier, I thought I saw a blonde woman instead of you," he told her.
Iris stiffened and gasped softly.
Of course, he noticed her reaction. However, he thought that she was angry at him, so he hurriedly said, "I’m not fantasizing about a foreign woman or anything like that. Like I said, it was just my eyes playing tricks on me."
She didn’t say anything. She just looked at him with a sense of wonder.
As for Jin Liwei, he also looked at her, trying to detect if she was mad at him.
"Darling..." she finally started speaking again.
"Yes, love?"
"That was actually me, too. I’ve always been a blonde on the inside."
He blinked several times before a wide grin broke out of his face. Then he chuckled softly. "I see. What a hot blonde you are. But no matter if you’re blonde or brunette or a redhead, or even if you’re completely bald, I’ll still love you because you’re uniquely you."
Iris knew that he must have thought she was just joking. But even so, she didn’t mind. His words delighted her.
"I love you, too. Goodnight, darling," she whispered to him, a sleepy smile on her face.
"Mmmn. I love you more. Goodnight, love."
The lovers slept in each other’s arms.
###
In the next few days, Iris and Jin Liwei returned to work like usual. They were both very busy. Iris had a lot of work commitments this season, not to mention that she was also busy with her companies. As for Jin Liwei, he had to increase his workload because he would be taking a break at around the end of the month for their much-anticipated plan.
Despite their busy schedules, Iris still found the time to sneak into Jin Corporation a few times—mostly at night—to upgrade the company’s security system. Jin Liwei, Gu Chang and Diao Yijue accompanied her and made sure that nobody except them knew about her presence.
The new upgraded system might not offer 100% protection against the formidable hacker, but at least it would give him a bit of trouble until Iris arrived to personally battle against him again. In addition to this, she also increased the monitoring on Rose Young’s activities within the company.
This system upgrade went unnoticed by most of Jin Corporation’s employees, except for those working in the IT and security departments. What almost everyone noticed, however, was their President blatantly disregarding CMO Young’s existence.
He didn’t even want to speak directly to her, preferring to use his assistant Xu Tian as a spokesperson instead. It came to a point that Rose Young started being laughed at by the other employees behind her back, especially the female and bent ones who had crushes on their President Jin.
"And here I thought that Miss Young is really the President’s fiancée. You saw that post on the gossip forum too, right?"
"Yeah. But the post and the photos are all gone now, even the ones that had been reposted on other websites. I checked so many times but I can’t find them."
"Who cares about those photos when there’s a video of what really happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"Wait, don’t tell me you didn’t see? It was only up for about a couple of hours before it was taken down by the user who uploaded it. But there are still a lot of people who saw them including me. A user called KittyBaby posted a clip from a surveillance video footage at the hotel where President Jin and Miss Young have been seen together. It turns out that it wasn’t really a date but a business lunch at the hotel restaurant. Mr. Xu Tian and the other executives were together with them but they were cropped out of the photos. It seems that the photographer intended for people to misunderstand the photos."
"Really? So what happened in the video?"
The woman told her colleagues about how Rose Young pretended to trip just so she could hold onto their President Jin’s arm.
"Let me tell you, it was so fake! I booed when I watched it. The President was a gentleman, helping her stabilize her footing when it wasn’t even unstable in the first place. But I laughed when he dusted his clothes afterwards as if her hands which touched him were dirty. I wish he just pushed her away instead, though."
"That really happened? Wow! She’s the CMO and yet she’s acting like a total hussy. Everyone in the company knows that the President is engaged and that he’s in love with his fiancée, and yet she’s still continuing to chase him? But look at her now. The President doesn’t event want to acknowledge her existence anymore."
"Hmph! That’s what she gets for lusting after the President. All of us here could only look at his shoes, and yet she thinks that she can actually touch him? Who does she think she is? Being the CMO doesn’t give her the right to touch the president so casually. She should also go to a temple and cleanse her dirty mind! If not, the evil demon with the robotic voice should haunt her and make her go insane. That’ll teach her not to act so close to the President."
These employees continued to gossip and ridicule Rose Young. Although they were careful not to talk in her presence, she was still aware that they were laughing at her. Of course it upset her.
It wasn’t only her. Even some of the members from the board of directors who championed for her appointment as CMO became upset. A number of them were Jin relatives and were close friends with Rose Young’s maternal side of the family. They met with Jin Liwei at his office to complain.
Jin Liwei looked at them with a colder and more intimidating expression than usual.
"Where in our company’s policy does it say that the President-CEO must spoil and baby the CMO? Show me," he challenged them. "Jin Corporation is a multinational company, not a daycare. Is she a special child with special needs who has to have constant attention and care? She is the CMO you voted into the position, not a princess that everyone must bow down to."
With that, everyone was now certain that President Jin didn’t like Rose Young. Maybe he even hated her.

Chapter 455 - Rose Youngs Dream Part I
HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR
C455 - Rose Youngs Dream Part I
Chapter 455 - Rose Young's Dream Part I
Jazz music softly played throughout the dimly-lit high-class bar. It wasn’t labelled as an "exclusive" bar, but only those with deep pockets could afford its price tags on the drinks, snacks, entertainment and the ambience. At the moment, there weren’t a lot of people, so the atmosphere was mellow and easy-going. The bartender wasn’t rushing to finish orders and was even chatting with the guests.
Rose Young was currently at this bar, waiting for her friend to arrive. She was wearing a little black dress with a plunging neckline. There was no worry of breasts accidentally popping out because she didn’t have any. Her body might be flat on both the bust and the butt, but at least she had a pretty face. She wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous in any way, but as a successful business executive, she had the alluring aura of an ambitious and independent woman about her.
There were certainly a few men in the bar who tried hitting on her, only to be flatly rejected.
First of all, she was in a bad mood. Neither the cocktail she was drinking nor the lovely jazz music was helping to improve it.
Second of all, she didn’t have the interest in flirting with other men at the moment because her entire mind was filled with the love of her life.
She had been in love with Jin Liwei for as long as she remembered. The first time she had met him was when she attended a party hosted by the Jin family with her mother. She was only twelve years old at that time, while Jin Liwei was fourteen. He was already so cool and handsome back then. It wasn’t only her who harboured puppy love for him. Lots of other girls wanted him to be their first boyfriend. Unfortunately, he didn’t care about any of them.
Wanting to be close to him, Rose Young begged her parents to let her move to China and attend the same exclusive international school he and his brother Jin Chonglin were attending. However, her father rejected her idea. The Youngs were based in Singapore and it was their home. No matter how much she begged, he wouldn’t budge. After an intense negotiation, a compromise was reached. She was allowed to spend her entire summers in China.
She attended all of the parties the Jins hosted, hoping to have the opportunity to talk to Jin Liwei. It was fortunate that her mother’s family was close to some of the branch families of the Jins. It ensured that they would always get invitations to the Jins’ parties, even when the main family didn’t personally invite them.
Because of this connection and the fact that the Youngs ran Jin Corporation’s Singapore branch, she felt that they were meant to be together. She started calling him "Big Brother Liwei", trying to be close to him. Although he always ignored her and didn’t pay attention to her at all, she didn’t mind. At least, he wasn’t treating another girl in a special way. He treated all girls the same way—like dirty and smelly rats. Her personal mission was to become that special girl, to be the first woman who he would give special treatment.
She swore that she was going to be his first girlfriend, his first lover, his first and last wife, and of course, the mother of his children. In addition, she would also become the next Madam Jin.
As a result, she did everything to be closer to him. Since he was a high-achiever, she also studied very hard and received excellent grades. Jin Liwei needed a woman on the same level as he was beside him. When she found out the he was accepted into an American Ivy League business school, she almost fried her brain studying so that she could follow him there. Her hard work paid off. She got accepted into such a world-class university.
She thought that this was her chance to grow closer to him. And indeed, they frequently encountered each other in the campus because she made sure to know where he was all the time. She followed him around without being too obvious. She befriended his friends. They attended the same parties. They even spoke a few times. Unfortunately, he remained cold and indifferent to the opposite sex as usual.
But Rose Young didn’t mind. She had a masterplan she intended on executing step by step. First was to graduate from university. Second was to return to her home country and work at the Singapore branch of Jin Corporation, gaining experience and growing her credentials. Third was to find a way to get transferred to the main headquarters so that she could finally work in the same place as her future husband. Fourth was to perform her best and become indispensable to Jin Liwei at work. Fifth was to grow closer to him and become lovers. Last but not the least was to marry him and become his wife.
Everything was going smoothly until she found out that he suddenly became engaged. At first, she didn’t believe it, thinking that it was just fake news. But when she asked some of her friends in China, they confirmed that Jin Liwei personally admitted that he had a fiancée.
It was the most devastating blow that she had ever experienced in her life so far. Jin Liwei was her dream, the ultimate goal that she had been working so hard to achieve. And yet she found out that someone else—a slut, whoever she was—had snatched her precious dream away?
No!!!
So what if he was engaged? They weren’t married yet! She still had a chance! Even if they were married, they could still divorce. Even if it was less than ideal, she didn’t mind being a second wife, as long as she could still have him in the end. Once she had him for herself, she intended on becoming his last wife.
It was also a good thing that her family supported her dream of becoming Jin Liwei’s wife. Rose Young was actually surprised that her father had a change of heart in recent years. He wasn’t keen on her love for Jin Liwei before, telling her that she needed to find a man who would love her and treat her like a queen, not like Jin Liwei who wouldn’t even look at her properly.
But he suddenly changed his tune and began dreaming of the moment she officially became Madam Jin. He even started helping her behind the scenes to rally support for her among the board of directors in order to get her directly promoted to an executive position at the main headquarters. It turned out that his father had become her biggest supporter in her quest to obtain Jin Liwei’s love.
Rose Young left Singapore and moved to China, excited to stand beside Jin Liwei as his fellow executive at Jin Corporation. Because the majority of the board of directors supported her appointment as the new CMO, she was treated extremely well when she started working.
Every time she attended a meeting with Jin Liwei or personally discussed something business-related with him, happiness and love filled her. It strengthened her resolve to get closer to him. She believed that she still had a chance with him, even though he was already engaged.
Besides, his fiancée’s identity was still unknown. No matter who Rose Young asked among her friends, they had no idea who the woman was. Rose Young concluded that the slut was someone who Jin Liwei felt embarrassed to introduce to the public, hence the need to keep his fiancée’s identity private.
"As expected, I’m the only woman who deserves to stand beside him," she would always tell herself.
When a rumour among Jin Corporation employees started, saying that she was actually Jin Liwei’s real fiancée, she was delighted. Some asked her directly if it was true. She always replied in a vague manner, not admitting or denying anything.
Then an idea flashed in her mind. With the help of one of her friends, she was able to make this rumour spread even more. Her friend could only post on gossip forums because the official news outlets were too afraid to publish unconfirmed reports about Jin Liwei. They didn’t want to be sued by the most powerful man in the country’s business world of his generation. He would surely win because he had the best lawyer in the country.
Rose Young didn’t mind. The gossip forums were already enough. All she wanted was to fan the flames of the rumours about her and Jin Liwei. She hoped that by doing this, she would become more accepted as his fiancée to the public rather than his real fiancée who he hadn’t introduced yet. So when the slut’s identity was finally revealed, everyone would think that Rose Young was so much better for Jin Liwei.
Never did Rose Young expect, however, that her little plan would completely backfire on her. Now she had become the laughingstock at the company. Even worse was that Jin Liwei, the love of her life, started completely disregarding her existence.
She could endure it even if people were laughing at her. After all, she thought that she would be the one getting the last laugh when she married Jin Liwei. But she couldn’t bear that Jin Liwei stopped giving her the courtesy of talking to her even if it was just as fellow executives working at the same company.
It was all the fault of that blasted KittyBaby who uploaded the hotel surveillance video clip on the internet. If it weren’t for the video, people would still continue speculating that she was Jin Liwei’s real fiancée.
Rose Young believed that if KittyBaby wasn’t Jin Liwei’s fiancée herself (that slut), then it must be someone the woman directed to humiliate her. The slut’s voice played in her mind,insulting her and warning her away from Jin Liwei. She couldn’t think of anyone else besides the slut who would have a grudge against her.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw her friend who finally arrived.
"Hi Rosie~ How are you? That’s a nice dress you’re wearing, but you would’ve looked better if you put some pads on your chest. I know the best plastic surgeons in Asia. I can introduce you to one, if you want. Just look at my girls." The woman grabbed her large breasts and squeezed them in front of her and the bartender. "I was also as flat as you before but look at me now! I’m SE-XY and FA-BU-LOUS!!!"
Rose Young rolled her eyes before giving her friend a superficial hug and air kisses on both cheeks.
"You’re late," she said, not minding her friend’s comment about her chest at all.
