Chapter 1101 - Awakening
Dragon Palace Home #10.
"Don't be so willful all the time and insist on doing whatever you want," Enrique Valdez said through the video call. His usually captivating eyes were now strict as he reminded his student to be more careful in the future. "I know that we're the creative kind of people who like doing our own thing, but there will be times when we'll have to temporarily stop and rebalance our personal lives first. You're pregnant now, Xiulan. It's not only your own body anymore that you need to take care but your baby as well."
"I understand, Teacher," Iris said in a humble tone, feeling like a child being scolded by an elder. She had no choice but to inform all her instructors about her pregnancy and the miscarriage scare. She couldn't hide it while constantly attending their virtual lessons in bed for the past few days.
Most of the time, Enrique Valdez was a man of few words but even he couldn't stop himself from scolding Iris this time for her carelessness after hearing what happened to her. Unlike everyone else who all blamed either Rose Young or even Jin Liwei for causing Iris' miscarriage scare, the legendary hitmaker didn't mince his words and directly chided his student, telling her that her actions that eventful night were her own responsibility and nobody else's.
Iris accepted her music mentor's scolding without any complaints. In fact, she felt relieved that someone finally placed the blame on her. Ever since she was ordered to stay in bed for at least half a month, guilt for endangering her and Jin Liwei's babies constantly plagued her.
Sure, it was Rose Young's evil plot against Jin Liwei that triggered all the unfortunate series of events that night, but Iris was still the one who lost control of her own emotions and recklessly tried returning to the hotel when her presence there wasn't really needed. As a matter of fact, she now realized that her presence at the hotel only served as a distraction to both her husband and big brother because they worried about her safety.
It was pure foolishness to do the things she did that night. Instead of using her brain, she allowed her extremely volatile emotions to cloud her judgment.
Sighing, she continued listening to her music mentor's harsh but sensible lecture on her foolishness. The more Enrique Valdez pointed out her mistakes, the lighter Iris felt. It was as if the weight of her guilt was gradually being lifted off her shoulders.
This wasn't a masochistic tendency but more of Iris treating her mentor's scolding as a catalyst to finally forgive herself and free her from the guilt.
"Thank you, Teacher. I know my mistakes. I'll make sure not to do them again."
Enrique Valdez's grave expression finally eased a little. His hazel eyes also gentled. He sighed. "Good that you know. Take a break from our collab project for now. There's no rush. I'll visit you soon. I'm looking forward to the birth of your child with Liam."
The mentor and student chatted for a bit longer before the video call ended. Iris put the tablet on the bedside table and adjusted her body into a more comfortable position on the bed.
"Meow," Ice Cream grumbled after being disturbed from her beauty sleep. But when she realized that it was her own mommy, her stare of death transformed into a cute expression and she began rubbing herself against her mommy while purring contentedly.
Iris smiled and petted her eldest cat daughter, enjoying the feel of Ice Cream's fluffy grey fur on her hands. It was only Ice Cream who was accompanying her at the moment.
Popcorn seemed to be playing with Little Jun somewhere in the mansion. Jiang Ying Yue was on duty.
Dom was busy representing Iris in the various events and meetings that she was unable to attend due to her bed rest. There were a ton of important matters that needed Iris' regular attention such as all her companies and some of the remaining commitments she had after leaving Bright Summit and starting LXC Studio with her husband and brother-in-law. Since she was not allowed to personally take care of these responsibilities, she had no choice but to send Dom on her behalf instead. Of course, the final decisions still rested on her after hearing Dom's reports.
As for Jin Liwei, her husband wasn't at home. He had to fly to another city using his private jet to attend an urgent business meeting involving a current construction project. He had to assess the problem in person to come up with the best solution. At first, he was unwilling to leave her but she persuaded him to go, especially since the problem sounded urgent.
She didn't want to hold him back from fulfilling his duties as the President-CEO of Jin Corporation just as much as she didn't want him holding her back from running her own companies. Besides, it was only supposed to be a daytrip anyway. He would be back home in no time.
"Mommy, mommy! Ketchup is detecting some major activity in my little kitty brother Bacon's system which indicates that he might possibly wake up very soon! The cuter and mightier Ketchup is super-duper to the highest level excited! Yay yay! Meow~"
Iris' eyes lit up and didn't notice Ice Cream's irritation at the sudden interruption. She immediately grabbed her tablet again and allowed Ketchup to take over it. Bacon's system program showed on the screen. Iris also became excited just like Ketchup.
Since she couldn't do it herself, Iris gave Ketchup several instructions instead to assist Bacon's approaching awakening. This was to help her cat AI son deal with the drastic change in his system after evolving into the true power flood. Iris wanted to create some new protective programs to seal a big portion of Bacon's new capabilities until he reached a certain level of skill and maturity but this plan needed to wait until after her bed rest.
She monitored the fluctuations in Bacon's system and guided Ketchup in controlling the activity within a safe level. Finally, after almost half an hour, all the fluctuations stopped and settled down.
Iris held her breath.
Then....
The tablet's screen flickered and a black cat appeared, his familiar golden eyes glowing brightly.
"Mother, Bacon is back."

Chapter 1102 - Cat Language
Bacon's virtual appearance didn't look different from before. Iris knew, however, that her cat AI son just experienced a drastic foundational evolution of his system. Although she was worried about what kind of effects such a huge change would have on Bacon, she still couldn't stop herself from feeling excited at this unexpected development.
As the creatorâno, as the mother of her AI children and the inventor of the power flood, this unforeseen fusion between her cat AI son and the power flood had become a huge source of curiosity and inspiration for her. The gears inside her brain were already turning and running in different directions, trying to figure out many possibilities resulting in this kind of fusion.
Iris smiled. "Bacon, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Tell us immediately and we'll fix it as soon as possible."
Bacon tilted her furry black head to the side and his golden eyes glowed brighter as he did a quick scan on himself. "Mother, Bacon feels fine."
She sighed in relief but still instructed him to run a full system scan with Ketchup's assistance so Bacon wouldn't dare to fake any results just to prevent her from worrying. She wouldn't put it past her AI son to do that. He already had a history of acting two-faced and saying one thing while doing another.
While they were running Bacon's system scan, the excited Ketchup was jumping all around her younger brother and even went so far as to start sniffing him. Bacon stayed still at first but when Ketchup's nose got too close at a, er, rather sensitive area, Bacon's claws extended and he hissed at his sister.
Ketchup leaped backwards in fright. "Mreow!"
"Bacon!" Iris' heart jumped.
It might look like a simple squabble between siblings but Bacon had always been capable of damaging the virtual world that Iris created for her AI children through his attacks. This was Bacon's fundamental nature as an AI being developed from the corruption that Iris extracted from Ketchup when her AI daughter went berserk for the first time back then.
Now that Bacon had become the power flood, he could literally destroy the virtual world in an instant if he was careless for even a second. Without the virtual world Iris created, her two AI cat children might still survive but their original systems would be severely damaged. Their emotion processing centres were also anchored in the virtual world, so if the virtual world was gone, they would most likely lose their personalities and emotions as well. In short, the two cat AI siblings would cease to be the Ketchup and Bacon that they knew and loved.
Fortunately, Bacon retracted his sharp, shiny, and potentially deadly claws. Iris heaved a big sigh of relief.
"Please do your best not to lose your temper," she told his cat AI son. "You already know the terrible consequences of destroying your virtual home even if it's by accident. Also, your older sister doesn't mean any harm to you. Ketchup is just very happy that you're awake now. Okay, Bacon?"
The black cat AI blinked his golden eyes. "Understood, Mother. Bacon is sorry."
"Meowuwuwu! Bacon is such a big meanie! Mommy, Ketchup was so scared! Meowuwuwu!"
Iris laid her head back on the pillow and closed her eyes to regulate her panicked breathing and heart rate.
"Mother?"
"Mommy, are you okay? Meowuwuwu!"
She made a weak sound in her throat to assure them that she was fine, but it seemed that her two AI children didn't understand.
"Mother, Bacon feels very powerful right now. If something bad happens to you, Bacon will really destroy the whole world in an instant and not care about it even though I know that it's not classy. So please be okay, Mother."
Iris had no choice but to open her eyes despite feeling a little lightheaded. Her body was still far from being fully recovered yet from the heavy bleeding she experienced. Just a little fright caused by her cat AI son and it felt like she was already going to faint. This wasn't good. If this continued, she might have to stay in complete bed rest longer.
"Bacon...." She felt a little lost about how to deal with her extremely vicious AI son. Sighing, all she could say was, "Go greet your father and let him know that you're awake."
The black cat AI stared at her for a few seconds with a tilted head before finally saying, "Understood, Mother. Bacon will now pay my respects to Father."
She nodded, feeling inwardly relieved. Bacon disappeared, supposedly to find his father. Iris would just leave her husband to deal with their AI son. It was embarrassing but she was now completely out of energy. Her big brother was right. This body was weak and too fragile. Sighing, she looked at the still sobbing Ketchup who sat pitifully alone in the AI siblings' virtual home.
Before Iris could comfort her AI daughter, her eldest cat daughter hopped in front of the tablet all a sudden and smacked Ketchup's image on the screen. The mobile device almost flew out of Iris' hand but fortunately she managed to get a better grip on it.
Then Ice Cream gave her younger sister several grumpy meows. Iris raised an eyebrow, feeling amused despite not feeling well. It seemed that Ice Cream was scolding her younger sister Ketchup for being a crybaby.
"Mommy, Big Sister Ice Cream is such a big meanie! Meowuwuwu!"
Ice Cream smacked Ketchup on the tablet screen again as if telling the white cat to shut up.
Iris stifled a chuckle. "Listen to your big sister and don't cry anymore."
"But Mommy! The cute but sometimes not so mighty Ketchup doesn't understand cat language! Ketchup doesn't know what Big Sister Ice Cream is saying at all. Wait, that's so weird! Ketchup is a kitty baby but why don't I and my big meanie of a little kitty brother Bacon understand cat language? Meow?"
Iris laughed out loud. If not for the strict rules of her bed rest, she probably would have started rolling on the bed while laughing.
Ah, what to do? Her cat children were too adorable!
Unfortunately, Iris wasn't able to answer Ketchup's question because drowsiness caught up to her. She fell asleep in no time.

Chapter 1103 - Scam Or Not
Jasper Leung felt like he was going crazy. A certain job ad kept on popping up whenever he used the internet. He upgraded his ad-blocker but it was useless. All of the other ads were blocked except for that one specific and persistent job ad. He thought that perhaps his devices had been infected with some kind of computer virus so he brought all of them to a repair shop but the technician couldn't find anything wrong with them. In the end, he could only bring them back home and hope for the best that the job ad would eventually disappear on its own soon.
It didn't.
The job ad kept on stalking himâthat was what it felt like. It started to freak him out a little.
Fed up, he borrowed a friend's phone in the hopes of being able to use the internet in peace. At first, it worked. The ad didn't show up at all. He was ecstatic.
About half an hour later, however, the ad popped up again. He showed it to his friend and complained about the stalker-ish job ad, but his friend only laughed at him.
"It think that maybe you've become too stressed out lately after being fired from your dream job and not being able to find a new job until now," his friend told him while patting his back, trying to comfort him. "Don't worry, bro. This is only a temporary challenge in your life. I'm sure that you'll eventually find a good job, maybe something even better than what you briefly had at Jin Corporation. You have a degree, for goodness' sake! Yes, that Romeo Young is powerful but he shouldn't be that powerful. If he was, then he should be the owner of his own successful multinational company like CEO Jin Liwei and not just a branch boss. Romeo Youngâthat pigâcan't possibly continue blacklisting you everywhere forever. His influence can only reach so far. He's not even on the same level as CEO Jin who you admire so much."
Jasper sighed but nodded in complete agreement with his friend's words. He also thought the same way. And also, maybe his friend was rightâthat he was too stressed out right now after being fired and blacklisted that he had somewhat become paranoid about a job ad stalking him everywhere.
Then his friend commented, "This job ad looks interesting. Why don't you try applying for it?"
Jasper snorted. "It's a scam."
"How do you know?"
"The pay is too good to be true. Even Jin Corporation doesn't pay that high for that position."
His friend frowned and checked the job description again. "Really? This pay is high? Bro, did your salary expectation also took a hit when you got fired and blacklisted? I may not be in the Public Relations field like you but I still know that the listed salary in this job ad is reasonable."
"Huh?" Jasper took the phone and looked at the salary section. His eyes widened when he saw the completely new figure. "I'm pretty sure that the listed salary was different from this one when I checked the job description before. It was ridiculously high. They must have changed it."
"Or maybe you misread it. You had just been fired that time. Sometimes your brain doesn't do its job properly when you're too stressed or feeling bummed. Hey, it happens."
Jasper didn't look too convinced that he misread it but what his friend said made sense. He felt confused and started to doubt his own memory. Maybe he was really mistaken?
"Let's do a quick search if this White Tigress company is really a scam or not," his friend suggested.
Later....
The friends looked at each other before checking the search results again.
"No matter how I look at it, this company looks legitimate. It's newly established but they already have quite a number of virtual assistants, mostly from the Philippines. And look, they even feature great testimonials from some well-known successful people."

Jasper pursed his lips. "Those testimonials might be fake. How could a newly established company already have such great testimonials?"
"Then there is only one way to find out. Let's try contacting these clients if they really hired this company and are satisfied with the service."
Jasper was skeptical. "Most of these alleged clients are well-known people. Not anyone can just contact them. We're just regular people. They won't reply to us."
His friend shrugged. "We won't know if they'll reply or not if we don't try. Besides, we'll only choose the ones who seem easier to contact. Like this person. She's a Hong Kong socialite who married a Chinese multi-millionaire. She's also a bit of a social media influencer. I follow her on Snappygram and know that she sometimes replies to comments and direct messages. Hold on. I'll message her now."
He also messaged the other clients featured on the White Tigress company website who had Snappygram accounts. There were no replies even after half an hour had passed.
"See? I told you. These people won't reply to regularâ"
"I got a reply!"
Jasper closed his mouth and leaned closer to look at the message on the phone. Indeed, the Hong Kong socialiteâher account verified with an eye-catching check mark icon next to her nameâreplied to his friend's message and confirmed that she indeed wrote the testimonial featured on the White Tigress company website. She didn't just confirm it but even started praising the company almost to the high heavens.
"The boss is Kitty Jin and she's the best assistant that I ever experienced working with ever. She's a little weird...well, actually she's hella weird. But her work performance is out of this world. I tried poaching her but she instantly rejected my offer. She said that her dad is richer than my husband so there's no need for her to work for somebody else when she can be the boss of her own company and have her rich dad's backing at the same time.
"Her company also has other virtual assistants that are great, most of them are Filipinos. Very hardworking and friendly people, I must say, but none of them are as efficient as Kitty Jin. She's like a robot. A cute and hella weird robot. I'm so satisfied with her company's services that I often refer White Tigress to my friends. All of them are as satisfied as me."

Chapter 1104 - Hella Weird
After chatting with the Hong Kong socialite on Snappygram, two more replies arrived from other clients. They also confirmed the legitimacy of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services.
"What if...their Snappygram accounts got hacked?" Jasper Leung was still a bit skeptical. Perhaps it was because he felt a little traumatized by the company's job ad bombardment on him.
His friend rolled his eyes at Jasper's continued skepticism. "Bro, just try applying for this job. If it was really a scam, I know that you're smart enough to quit before it's too late, just like how you quit after discovering how much the Jin Corporation branch here is so corrupt. But if it's really a legitimate company and all the rave reviews of these clients are true, then you'll just regret it if you don't grab this opportunity when it's knocking on your door so many times."
Jasper thought that his friend had a point. He was already beginning to open up to the idea that maybe the universe was telling him somethingâthat maybe, just maybe, this job at White Tigress company might be the one destined for him.
He finally made up his mind after a careful consideration while listening to his friend's encouragements. "Alright, I'll apply. I don't know if they'll hire me but it doesn't hurt to try, right?"
"Right! Go for it, bro! I'm cheering for you!"
###
Later that afternoon, Jasper returned to his apartment and uploaded a copy of his résumé with the online application form for the position of communications coordinator at White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. He felt relieved after clicking the final "Submit" button. All he could do now was wait.
He looked at the clock. Although he wasn't expecting anything too much, he still hoped that the company would respond to his application today. His savings were dwindling fast. If he didn't find proper work soon, he might have to return to his parents' house and live there again with his tail tucked between his legs. His mother would surely nag at him again.
His savings could more or less last him for another two weeks at most. If he still failed to find a job appropriate for his education level, then he might have to force himself to work as a waiter or dishwasher at a fast food restaurant again like what he did to finance his student expenses in university.
Sighing, he once again searched for other jobs outside of Singapore. He had to cast his net wider and not just wait for White Tigress' response to his application before applying for other jobs. Simultaneous applications would increase his chances of being hired.
He sent out a few more applications to various companies, many of them he had never heard of before but verified their legitimacy through a quick web search. They weren't on Jin Corporation's level but beggars couldn't be choosers. He couldn't afford to be picky at this point. As long as he was sure that the company wasn't a scam, he would apply.
Ding!
A new mail arrived in his inbox. His heart skipped a beat upon seeing that the sender was Kitty Jin.
He immediately clicked on it.
"Dear Mr. Jasper Leung,
"Thank you for applying for the position of Communications Coordinator at White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. We are a new company based in China but operate worldwide on an around-the-clock schedule.
"We would like to invite you for a video call interview for the position today at 5:45 PM.
"Please reply to this e-mail if you have any questions or need to reschedule the interview.
"Sincerely,
"Kitty Jin"
Jasper read the entire e-mail one more time. His heart was pounding in excitement. He got an interview. Finally! Yes!
"Today at 5:45 PM. Today...huh? TODAY?!!"
He glanced at the clock again and almost fainted when he saw that it was already 5:30 PM. He immediately ran to his disorganized closet and rummaged for an appropriate outfit for the interview.
"No, not a full business suit. Too formal. Something more casual...yes!"
He finally found a suitable outfit and changed quickly, almost ripping the shirt in the process. He didn't have time to iron some of the wrinkles. Hopefully, the interviewer wouldn't notice the not-so-perfect condition of his attire.
Then he ran to the bathroom to make his face and hair look more presentable. There was no time to take a shower. When he returned in front of his computer, it was already 5:43 PM.
He practiced his smile and his introduction. Although he already went through this process before and briefly got hired for his dream job, he still couldn't help but feel nervous even though this White Tigress company shouldn't be more impressive than Jin Corporation. It was still a new company after all, regardless of its already impressive clientele.
5:45 PM.
The video call request appeared on his computer screen. He took a couple of deep breaths before clicking the answer icon.
He could see his bright, business smile on the screen but Kitty Jin didn't have her camera turned on. She was only showing her profile photo which was a cartoon clip-art of a cat's paw.
"Hello, Jasper Leung! My name is Kitty Jin and White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services is my super-duper to the highest level awesome company! The cute and mighty me is your potential bossâif you get hired! Hihihi. Meow~"
Jasper blinked a few times, unable to react at the unexpected voice. What was this? Kitty Jin was a child?!
Then he remembered how the Hong Kong socialite described Kitty Jin. According to her, this Kitty Jin was "hella weird".
Indeed, this was hella weird!
Putting aside the obvious child's voice and immature way of speaking, what was with the meowing?
He was now starting to regret applying to this weird company. Perhaps this was really a scam after all.
"Hello? Jasper Leung, are you there? Why aren't you answering the cute and mighty Kitty Jin? Meow!"
"Uh, yes! Miss Kitty Jin, I'm still here."
"Good. Then Kitty Jin will add my daddy to this video conference. Daddy will be the one to interview you. Meow~"
Before Jasper could react, the face of the businessman that he admired the most appeared on his computer screen. He screamed, shocked to the core.
"CEO Jin Liwei?!!"

Chapter 1105 - Idol Businessman
"En." Jin Liwei nodded, confirming his identity. "You are Jasper Leung and you're applying for the position of Communications Coordinator in my daughter's company?"
The eyes of the starstruck Jasper Leung almost bulged out of their sockets. "D-daughter?! Miss Kitty Jin is your daughter?!! H-huh, what?!!!" Then he froze, inhaling sharply upon realizing something. "Kitty Jin...Jin Liwei...both of you are Jins...ah!!!"
"En, she's my daughter."
"Yep yep! The cute and mighty Kitty Jin is my daddy's precious kitty baby daughter! Hihihi. Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"You're right." Jin Liwei showed a doting expression.
Jasper was still in a state of shock. There was never any confirmed news about CEO Jin Liwei fathering a child before. By the sound of Kitty Jin's voice, she must already be a big child. CEO Jin Liwei only married very recently. Did he father a secret, illegitimate child and made his young wife a step-mother?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Jin Liwei told him in a serious tone, "Kitty is my daughter with my wife."
Jasper was already nodding his head before his idol's words registered in his brain. But when he realized what Jin Liwei said, he paled.
If it was really true that Kitty Jinâwho was already a big child based on her voiceâwas both Jin Liwei and his wife's child, then did that mean that the CEO impregnated his wife when she was still underage? Jasper knew that CEO Jin's wife was only in her early twenties. If this was the case, then wouldn't that make his idol businessman a beast?!
Oh no!
His increasingly wild thoughts were interrupted when Jin Liwei spoke again. "My daughter Kitty Jin's identity is...special. My wife and I want to protect her, that's why we don't announce her existence to the public. It's enough that we support her in running her own company. You're the first one who aren't close to my family that knows about my daughter, Kitty Jin. I trust that you'll keep it a secret. You will, won't you?"
Jasper gulped and nodded. "Y-yes, of course! You can trust in my moral integrity, CEO Jin! I'm not the type of person to blab about another's secret without the owner's consent. I work in the Public Relations fieldâer, I want to work in the PR field and I have the educational qualifications for it, so I know the importance of knowing when to be tactful and when it's okay to reveal the truth."
Jin Liwei nodded, satisfied. "Good."
"If you like, I can sign an NDA to give you some peace of mind. I don't mind it at all."
"Hmmm. We'll talk about that later. First things first, let's start the job interview."
"Ah, yes! Of course, sir!" Jasper sat straighter and resolved himself to do his very best, even better than how he performed when he applied at the Singaporean branch of Jin Corporation. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his idol.
The interview finally started. Being interviewed by the actual Jin Liwei himself, President-CEO of China's biggest multinational company and one of the most influential billionaire business figures in the world, felt so surreal. Jasper almost couldn't believe that this was really happening to him.
This was what he had been dreaming of ever since he had decided to pursue a career in business, specifically in the Public Relations fieldâto meet and speak with CEO Jin Liwei, and of course, to work in his company. His hopes and big dreams of ever working at Jin Corporation again had been cruelly dashed when Romeo Young fired and blacklisted him. Now, however, Jasper believed that the incident was a blessing in disguise.
Romeo Young was only a branch boss, anyway. He was nothing but a fake king compared to the true reigning king of Jin Corporation, Jin Liwei.
Jin Liwei asked many difficult questions. Jasper answered all of them to the best of his ability. He wasn't sure if his idol was satisfied with his answers. He was unable to gauge any of the CEO's true thoughts from the man's poker face alone.
Kitty Jin would also interject her own questions and opinions here and there, but most of the time, it was her father who interviewed Jasper.
"What do you think?" Jin Liwei asked his daughter.
Jasper tensed. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his trousers out of the web camera's view.
"Kitty likes Jasper, Daddy! He's a bit boring but that's okay! The cute and mighty me is a good boss to all my employees and will treat them well as long as they do their jobs right. Meow~"
Jasper felt a little relieved that Miss Kitty Jin liked him, though he inwardly winced at being called boring. He knew that he wasn't the most interesting person in the planet but wasn't it too harsh to call him boring to his face?
Well, it didn't matter. As long as CEO Jin's daughter liked him, he now had a better chance of getting the job. However, it seemed that the final decision still rested on CEO Jin Liwei himself. Jasper once again felt nervous, even terrified.
This wasn't a job at Jin Corporation, but oddly enough, he felt more anxious. Jin Liwei's opinion felt more important and meaningful than the one who interviewed him when he first applied at Jin Corporation's Singaporean branch.
'I want this. I want this so badly! Please let me get this job.'
"How about Daddy? Does Daddy like Jasper, too? Meow~"
Jasper felt like he was going to faint from the nerves. However, he forced himself to hold on, refusing to embarrass himself in front of his idol by passing out like an overexcited fanboy.
Whatever the outcome of this interview, he would accept it. He trusted in CEO Jin Liwei's judgment. If he didn't get hired, then that meant that he was not qualified for the position. Not yet. He would just work harder and smarter to improve his qualifications and try again next time.
Jasper no longer thought that this White Tigress company was a scam. To him, this was the next best thing after Jin Corporation for his dream career.
Then Jin Liwei said, "My decision is...."
Jasper leaned forward, afraid to miss a single word.
"Hurry up and say it, Daddy! The cute and mighty Kitty Jin can't wait any longer. Meow!"

Chapter 1106 - Good Seedling
"You're hired," Jin Liwei said.
As soon as he heard the words, Jasper shot out of his seat and started jumping and running all around his apartment with both arms raised up high in the air while shouting for joy.
In their own private channel where Jasper couldn't hear them, the white cat AI said, "Daddy, Ketchup takes back what the cute and mighty me said earlier that this Jasper guy is boring. Actually, he's a bit interesting and funny especially when he's acting super-duper to the highest level happy and excited after being hired to work at Ketchup's own company. He has good taste because Ketchup's company is super-duper awesome! The cute and mighty me no longer holds a grudge when he called Ketchup a scammer before. He's no longer a poopoo-head! Hehehe. Meow~"
Jin Liwei nodded but his mind was already polishing the plan that he formulated on how to train Jasper Leung into shape fast so that the young man could become the key person that he envisioned in the battle against the Youngs in Singapore in the shortest amount of time possible. Hiring Jasper Leung in his AI daughter's company was only the first step.
It wasn't just for the sake of training and preparing the young man to grow into a charismatic frontman who would be able to gain the sympathy of the majority of the people. It was also to keep him safe.
As long as Jasper Leung was an official employee of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services, Jin Liwei would have a legitimate reason to provide him with resources and support behind the scenes under the guise of his AI daughter's company.
Declaring war against the Youngs was a dangerous endeavour after all due to the mysterious power backing them. If it weren't for their mysterious backer, Jin Liwei would have already removed their power as soon as he learned about their corruption in the Singapore branch. Therefore, he had to use a more roundabout way to kick out the corrupt and overambitious Youngs from the Singapore branch instead of directly retrieving the power and control from them. His investigations indicated that the Youngs' tentacles had stretched and spread too deep in the entire Singapore branch thanks to their mysterious backers.
If Jin Liwei wasn't careful, the Singapore branch might collapse if he purged the Youngs by force. Jin Corporation's position in Asia might destabilize if this happened.
He glanced at Jasper Leung and analyzed the young man as someone who had potential. Jasper was a good seedlingâmorally upright and resilient even in the midst of a crisis.
Jin Liwei planned on nurturing this seedling. Hopefully, his efforts wouldn't end up in vain and Jasper could grow into a tall and sturdy tree who would eventually become a reliable support for Jin Corporation after they rid the Singapore branch of all the Youngs, those parasites.
Finally, Jasper calmed down and returned to his seat in front of the computer. His red face showed his embarrassment. He quickly apologized for losing control of his emotions just now.
"That's fine, hairline! Kitty Jin doesn't mind. Actually, the cute and mighty me feels very happy that you're so excited to work for my super-duper awesome company! Meow~"
Jasper looked relieved. "Thank you, Miss Kitty Jin." Then he glanced at Jin Liwei, waiting for the CEO's judgment.
Jin Liwei waved a hand, dismissing his concerns away. "It's fine. You can discuss with my daughter about the specifics of your employment contract. My assistant will also contact you at a later date about the NDA."
"Yes, sir. No problem, sir."
Jin Liwei stared at him for a few seconds, causing Jasper to squirm on his seat and wonder if he did anything to offend his idol businessman. Why was CEO Jin staring at him so hard?
"I will be observing your performance at White Tigress," Jin Liwei finally said.
"Yes, sir!"
"Work well with my daughter. Do your best to improve yourself and don't be afraid to expand your skillset to other areas besides the PR field. It's good to be a specialist, but in the business world, only those who could excel in multiple areas will make them stand out among their peers."
Jasper was ecstatic that he was getting advice from THE Jin Liwei himself. This was a dream come true. "Understood, sir! I'll follow your words of wisdom."
Jin Liwei nodded, his expression not showing any distinct changes, but Jasper sensed that the CEO was pleased with him. Jasper became even happier.
"Remember this, Jasper Leung. White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services has me, Jin Liwei, as its backer."
Jasper gulped, immediately understanding the implication in the CEO's seemingly simple statement. It was a reassurance but also a threat.
As long as he did his job well, he would surely be rewarded accordingly. But if he somehow turned stupid and did the opposite, Jin Liwei and his daughter Kitty Jin would surely throw him out like a dog who bit its owner's hand that fed him.
Determination flashed in Jasper's eyes. "Don't worry, sir. I'll surely do my best and not make you regret hiring me for this position."
"En, good."
"Miss Kitty Jin, I'll be in your care from now on. Please guide me and I'll do my best to learn properly."
"That's good, cat food! Kitty Jin is a super-duper to the highest level great boss like my daddy and mommy. Jasper will have a bright future as long as you follow the cute and mighty me! Hihihi. Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"En."
Kitty Jin was about to end the video call when Jasper stopped her. "Wait! Sir, I have...uhm...I want to say something. It's very important."
Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow before waving a hand. "Speak."
Jasper told him about the corruption he witnessed at Jin Corporation's Singaporean branch. At first, he was careful, afraid that it would offend CEO Jin Liwei and make his idol retract the job offer. But after seeing that the CEO was seriously listening to his account, he gained more confidence and spilled everything about the Youngs' lawlessness.
This was CEO Jin's business after all. He deserved to know. Jasper felt indignant on behalf of his idol. How dare those Youngs' use his idol's company for their own family's benefit and act like it was their own belonging?
Audacious!

Chapter 1107 - Heavy Responsibility
After Jasper Leung finished telling Jin Liwei everything that he witnessed about the Youngs' corruption at Jin Corporation's Singapore branch, he felt like he ran a marathon. He was sweating hard and even panting as if out of breath. This was how much he felt incensed at the Youngs' audacity on behalf of his idol businessman. He glanced at his idol's reaction.
Jin Liwei's expression didn't change much. Although he didn't look cold and indifferent like usual, there were no obvious emotions on his face.
Jasper began to feel unsure. Was it the correct decision to tell everything to CEO Jin Liwei? Maybe he should've waited until he started working for Miss Kitty Jin's White Tigress company before confessing about all the misconducts he witnessed during his short stint at Jin Corporation's Singapore branch. This way, he could build more job security for himself.
As soon as this thought entered his mind, he felt disgusted of himself. He wasn't a martyr but he hated seeing blatant injustice. This was why he couldn't stomach seeing the Youngs' misuse of their power and ended up offending Romeo Young.
"You did well," Jin Liwei finally said.
Relief filled Jasper. This meant that his idol had no plans of denying Jasper's claims. "Sir, I'm sorry for asking this but...did you know about the Youngs' abuse of power?"
"En."
Jasper was shocked. "Then why....?"
Jin Liwei paused and looked like he was considering how much to tell him.
"CEO Jin, you don't really have to explain anything to meâ"
"It's fine," Jin Liwei said, leaning back on his seat and steepling his fingers over his chest. "You'll eventually know of these things sooner or later, anyway, whether I tell you or not."
Jasper was confused. What did CEO Jin mean? He stayed silent and waited for his idol to explain.
"For now, I can't touch the Youngs because they have a mysterious group backing them which we've already proven over here to be extremely dangerous. They already murdered four young men. Those four were about the same age as you before their untimely death. They're the ones who assisted Rose Young in her failed attempt to trap me."
Jasper was horrified. Of course, he knew about Rose Young's sinister plot to sexually violate his idol. The story was all over the news for many days now. In the first place, it was the main reason why he stood up against Romeo Young's plan to use the Singapore branch's company resources to twist the truth to gain sympathy for his slut daughter while putting the majority of the blame on the victim, CEO Jin Liwei. But about Rose Young's accomplices, he hadn't heard anything about them on the news. They were murdered?!
"Although they assisted Rose Young in harming me, I don't think they deserve to be murdered," Jin Liwei continued saying.
Jasper nodded, agreeing with his idol's words. Those four young men were probably just paid by Rose Young, that evil woman, to help her plan succeed. Yes, they were criminals for acting as accomplices to a crime but death was too harsh of a punishment for them. He couldn't help but shudder in fear at the thought that there was such a highly dangerous group behind the Youngs. No wonder they dared to abuse their power without any fear.
"S-sir...."
"Romeo Young has a huge pride and ego. He'll probably continue targeting you. If he's in a bad mood, he might ask his family's backers to 'take care' of you."
Jasper blanched. "Sir, what do I do?! I'm just a new graduate who came from a normal family! I don't have the means or power to protect myself. By how you describe the backers of that family filled with immoral animals, they sound like the mafia. Oh no. What if they target my family as well?"
"Don't panic, Titanic!" Kitty Jin interjected. "Jasper Leung is now an employee of Kitty Jin's White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services! The cute and mighty me won't allow anything bad to happen to my loyal employees! This is what my daddy and my mommy taught Kitty Jin. If any evil poopoo-heads dare to harm my employees, they'll suffer under my mighty paws of justice! Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"En. The Youngs may have backers but you now have me as a backer as well since you're going to be my daughter's official employee soon."
"Yes, that's right, cat fight! Kitty Jin's daddy is super-duper to the highest level awesome and so is my mommy and my uncle and my great-grandpa and the other members of our one big happy family! Jasper Leung, you have to sign the employment contract as soon as I send it to you so that the cute and mighty me and my daddy can send you some protection immediately! Meow~"
Tears formed in Jasper's eyes. "Thank you, CEO Jin! Thank you, Miss Kitty Jin! Thank you so much! I'll owe you for the rest of my life."
"No need, seaweed! The rest of your life is too long. Kitty Jin and our big happy family are not slave drivers like those poopoo-heads from the Youngs! Right, Daddy? Meow~"
Jin Liwei nodded. "Just do your job well and assist my daughter in running her company. She's still very young, so I hope that you can help me and my wife to look after her. She's your actual boss but the company is under my wife's friend's name for legal purposes. I hope that you'll help keep my daughter's existence a secret because I don't want my child targeted by people with evil intentions. The public also doesn't know that I'm the real backer of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. I also want to keep this a secret to prevent others from taking advantage of my daughter's company to get closer to me."
"Yes, sir! I understand, sir! Please rest assured that I won't breathe a word of all these secrets to any other people including my own reflection in the mirror."
"En. You have my thanks."
Uwah! His idol thanked him!
The video call finally ended. Jasper slumped on his seat from the unbelievable experience. His heart was still beating fast. Then he straightened his back, suddenly feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders after knowing these many secrets about his idol.
He clenched his fists. "CEO Jin, I'll definitely work hard to make me deserving of your trust!"

Chapter 1108 - Barely Classy
So many things happened outside during Iris' bed rest. No matter how much she wanted to help or involve herself in these things, she couldn't because of her overprotective husband and two AI children.
This time, the newly awakened Bacon became even stricter than his dad and no longer went along with whatever Iris wanted if he judged that it would put her and his twin human baby siblings in danger. Although nobody was blaming him, it appeared that Bacon felt extremely guilty after letting Iris jump out of the executive van that night and afterwards watching her almost miscarry.
"Mother, please don't be hardheaded again. It's not classy." Bacon's swishing, fluffy, black tail paused before he quickly corrected his words. "Mother is still the classiest person in the world. Just your impulsive actions are not classy. That's what Bacon meant."
Iris felt helpless at her AI son's newfound strictness on her. He was worse than his dad, her husband Jin Liwei. She could no longer coax him even after offering him red packets. The kid was becoming more and more unbending like his Uncle Zihao, no, his Uncle Nikolai.
Was this the effect of Bacon becoming the power flood? Or was it just because of the kid's guilt about playing a role in her miscarriage scare?
She wasn't exactly sure.
Like him, she also felt guilty about endangering her babies. Fortunately, her music mentor Enrique Valdez's lecture helped her to start the process of forgiving herself.
There were so many things that she wanted to doâneeded to doâbut weren't able to because of her current condition. She had no choice but to admit that her current pregnant body couldn't handle all the tasks that she wanted to accomplish, especially after almost miscarrying her babies which injured her vitality at this point in time.
At the moment, all she could do was trust in her husband and their two AI children. She and Jin Liwei had been worrying about the power flood having a negative effect on Bacon's already vicious personality, but so far, their Baby Bacon was still the Bacon they knew and loved. Sure, he had become more intense and brooding like his maternal uncle, but at least he hadn't threatened to destroy the whole world with his newly acquired power. But that was mainly because Iris wasn't in any danger during her bed rest except for her utter boredom.
She began to look forward to her chatty AI daughter's daily reports about the latest news to stave off her boredom. Ketchup had the special ability to make even the most boring news sound like the most amusing and interesting tales ever. Adding in her overdramatic tendency that she inherited from her Uncle Dom, Iris now felt extremely thankful that she mixed in her assistant and best friend's personality into the cocktail that made up Ketchup's loving and bubbly character.
"Mommy, the cute and mighty Ketchup noticed that Auntie Ying Yue is in a bad mood these days because of Uncle Yehan's lawsuit against my former uncle who's now a poopoo-head, that Long Hui! Pweh! Ketchup still has a deep grudge against the poopoo-head for what he did to my adorable cousin, Big Brother Little Junjun! How can a father do that to his own baby? The cute and mighty Ketchup doesn't understand. My daddy is super-duper to the highest level loving and caring, although he's super-duper to the highest level strict most of the time and scary sometimes, but that's okay because the cute and mighty me knows that Daddy is only disciplining us kitty babies for our own good. Right, Mommy? Meow~"
"Yes, Ketchup. Your dad loves you and all your siblings very much." Iris then glanced at the bored-looking Bacon on her tablet who folded himself like a loaf of bread.
Look at the kid. He looked as if he didn't care but his tail was rotating like a helicopter's rotor blades. It was obvious that Bacon loved his dad as well but didn't want to say or show it.
Ketchup continued chattering. "Mommy, why is it that Grandpa Long is still protecting that poopoo-headed son of his when that Long Hui did all those things to hurt Big Brother Little Junjun and Auntie Ying Yue and Mommy and Daddy and other members of our one big happy family? It makes the cute and mighty Ketchup's kitty blood boil with injustice! Hmph! Meow!"
Without any change of expression, Bacon said, "It's because aside from Mother, Aunt Jinjing and our cousin Big Brother Jun, everyone else in the Long family are not classy."
"But Grandma Yang and Auntie Meimei are nice. Meow~"
"Fine. They're classy but only barely. Grandmother Yang is kind but she doesn't seem to have that much power to change Grandfather Long's bullheaded beliefs. Aunt Mei is also an inspirational figure with her successful career as a webtoon artist but she doesn't take care of herself and allows herself to look like a zombie which isn't classy."
"Alright, Bacon. That's enough." Iris sighed at her AI son's straightforwardness which she admitted that he must have inherited from her. Good thing that she was gradually learning some tact after being reborn as Iris Long. She hoped that Bacon could tone down this part of his personality as well.
Back to the main topic, she agreed with Ketchup. Iris also felt displeased that Long Tengfei continued to shield Long Hui by sending him far away to avoid Lin Yehan's lawsuit under the guise of punishment. However, she also understood that it must be Long Tengfei's sentiments as a father.
She thought that if she were in Long Tengfei's shoes, she would also do everything to protect her children regardless of whatever bad things they did. Although this wasn't a good thing from a moral perspective, she still couldn't stomach watching any of her beloved children suffer. And she was certain that her husband would feel the same way.
"Also, Mommy, Uncle Long Jian left you three missed calls and fourteen messages inquiring about your promise to help his mother to get out of jail. Ketchup only informed Mommy now because the cute and mighty me deemed his request as low priority. Meow~"
Iris massaged her forehead at the reminder of her promise. "Alright. I got it. Thank you, Ketchup."
"No problemo, Filipino! Ketchup is always happy to help my mommy. Love ya lots. Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Ehehehe. Meow~"

Chapter 1109 P - J
Iris smiled and rubbed the images of Ketchup and Bacon on her tablet screen. She wished more than ever that she could make physical bodies for her two cat AI children. They were so adorable that she craved to hold and hug both of them in her arms. Her husband, Jin Liwei, would love to embrace Ketchup and Bacon for sure as well.
Creating physical bodies wasn't within her field of specialty but she knew a few people who could help her make this specific dream of hers come true. The only problem was if she trusted those people enough to let them know about her cat AI children's existences. She and her husband would need to discuss this among themselves carefully after she recovered her health and completed her bed rest.
As for Long Jian and his mother Zhu Ning, Iris hadn't forgotten about their matter. It was just that much more important things had been happening to her all at the same time. Before her wedding, she found some clues that might help Zhu Ning be absolved of the crime of masterminding the bomb incident at the mall which injured her, Jin Chonglin, their fans, and many other people. However, she hadn't been able to pursue the clues to obtain something more substantial. Now that she was in complete bed rest, she had no choice but to delegate the tasks to others.
"Bacon, take this protected e-folder to ShaWn for further investigation," she instructed her cat AI son.
"Understood, Mother. Bacon will be back." The black cat AI disappeared.
It seemed that the power flood didn't automatically fix Bacon's weakness for multitasking. Based on what Iris saw from his reprogrammed system so far, it would now be more difficult to tweak him to become a multitasker. It could still be done but she would need to sacrifice his other specialties in order to increase his multitasking skills to become even close to Ketchup's level.
She lost interest in making her cat AI son a multitasker after analyzing that it might weaken his overall abilities if she forced a higher level of multitasking skills on him. Ketchup being an expert multitasker was enough. The siblings could just continue supporting and complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses like usual.
Iris couldn't wait to recover and get out of bed rest so that she could study Bacon's reprogrammed system more closely. There were so many possibilities that wouldn't just benefit Bacon himself but also his older sister, Ketchup, once Iris successfully analyzed everything about the unexpected foundational changes in his system.
She tapped on her cat AI daughter's adorable image on her tablet screen. "Ketchup."
"Yes, Mommy? Meow~"
"Send a copy of the same e-folder to your dad. Tell him that it's about Zhu Ning's matter. He'll know what to do."
"Aye aye, Mommy! Meow~"
Unlike Bacon, Ketchup didn't disappear. The fluffy white cat AI continued playing with a ball of yarn but Iris knew that Ketchup was in many places all at once. Just like how the power flood benefitted Bacon, it also upgraded Ketchup's skills, although it wasn't as noticeable as what her little brother experienced with a complete system reprogramming.
Ketchup was now more efficient. Both Iris and Jin Liwei also noticed that their cat AI daughter's comprehension skills of abstract and philosophical ideas were improving at an almost frightening degree, making her even more overdramatic than before.
She had even reduced her Uncle Dom into an almost inconsolable sobbing mess yesterday with her very profound view about the lifetime connection between a parent and child regardless of blood relations. As a result, Dom immediately called his Momsy and Popsy in the Philippines afterwards and cried harder, telling them that he loved them forever and ever. Inspired by her Uncle Dom's actions, Ketchup also declared her love for her mommy and daddy forever and ever.
Iris felt all warm inside while remembering her AI daughter's sweet words. She knew that her husband also felt very happy inside.
"Mother, Bacon is back." The black cat AI reappeared on the tablet screen. "ShaWn and I are already working with the contents of the e-folder."
"Thank you, Bacon." Then she tilted her head to the side, wondering why her cat AI son returned home if he was working on the files that she sent to ShaWn. Was he unable to focus because he wanted to keep a constant eye on her? What an overprotective kitten! Just like his dad and uncle!
Very soon, however, she would learn why Bacon returned home so soon even though he had a task to complete at Shadow Winds.
"Mommy, Daddy says that he'll help handle Zhu Ning's matter so please focus on resting. Meow~" Ketchup reported. Then she froze all of a sudden before trembling in excitement.
She was about to say something but Bacon pounced on her and blocked her mouth with a fluffy, black paw.
Iris frowned. "Bacon, what are you doing? Let your big sister go."
Bacon didn't let Ketchup go right away. The AI siblings stared at each other, appearing to have silent communication between them that their mother couldn't hear. Iris' frown deepened.
Finally, Ketchup nodded, agreeing to whatever Bacon threatened her with and was let go. Then both cats faced their mother.
"Bacon, youâ"
"Mommy, the cute and mighty Ketchup is okay! Really! My little kitty brother Bacon didn't hurt Ketchup at all. Promise! Meow~"
"Mother, my apologies if my actions made you angry. Bacon knows it's not classy."
Ketchup began jumping all around her little brother. "Bacon, hurry up and tell Mommy about your surprise! Oh, Ketchup can't wait! Meow~"
Iris became confused. What were they talking about?
Ketchup and Bacon, however, kept their mouths shut and wouldn't tell her anything. Well, Ketchup almost couldn't contain herself and looked like she wanted to spill the secret but still held herself back after repeatedly being glared at by Bacon.
Finally, Iris received the answer when there was a knock on the bedroom door. The butler and a houseboy carried a few items inside.
"Madam, you have a delivery from a...Mister or Miss P.J. Where would you like us to leave them?"
"P.J.?"
Iris tilted her head to the side before realization dawned on her. She looked at her AI son who was swishing his fluffy, black tail from side to side in anticipation.
"P.J., huh?"

Chapter 1110 P - J
"Leave them here on the bed beside me," Iris instructed the butler and the houseboy.
The items were placed on their master's side of the bed. The butler and houseboy set everything down as gently as possible, careful not to make any unnecessary movements that might jolt their mistress' fragile body. They left after the mistress thanked them.
Iris looked at all the items. There was a huge bouquet of pink carnations, a dozen novels by her favourite Russian, British and Japanese authors, and finally a big basket filled with high-end chocolates and pastries decorated with lovely silk ribbons.
She took the bouquet and read the attached printed card. It was written in Russian. No wonder the butler didn't know if the sender was a Mr. or a Miss. It said:
"To Dearest Mother who is the most beautiful, most talented, smartest and classiest in the entire world and beyond,
"Please get well soon and give birth safely.
"Thank you for being the best mother ever to walk in the history of this planet.
"Please don't believe anyone stupid enough to dare tell you otherwise. They are just a bunch of envious nobodies who are not as classy as Mother and deserve to be squashed like the pests that they are into oblivion. Your beloved son will destroy them alongside the city where they live in. Please do not worry about useless people like them.
"Forever your son,
"P.J."
Tears filled Iris' eyes after reading the sweet yet vicious letter. "Oh, Bacon."
"Does Mother like Bacon's presents?"
"Oh, yes. I love them." Iris wiped the drops of tears that escaped from her eyes.
Bacon's fluffy, black tail rotated into a blur.
"Meowowow! Little Kitty Brother Bacon is so sweet and thoughtful to our mommy who is the bestest mommy in the whole wide universe. Ketchup is so touched! Meowowow~"
Iris chuckled and smelled the pink carnations.
"In flower language, pink carnations symbolize a mother's undying love," Bacon explained. "Bacon hopes that Mother likes them."
"Of course, baby. Thank you so much." Iris placed the bouquet beside her and examined the other presents.
The novels were much appreciated, especially right now that she had no choice but to stay in bed all day for half a month. Reading would help alleviate her increasing boredom.
Finally, the big basket of snacks made her eyes light up. She was about to unwrap one of the chocolates but her strict AI son stopped her.
"Mother, the doctor says that you can only eat a little of sweet snacks after a proper meal. Please wait until after dinner."
Iris sighed and returned the chocolate bar to the basket with great reluctance. She was regretting letting the houseboy place the basket on the bed beside her. This was such a painful temptation!
She took the bouquet again and placed it on top of her abdomen to admire. Her son was so thoughtful, just like his dad.
"P.J. Panther Jin. What made you decide to buy these presents for me?"
Bacon didn't reply right away. His fluffy, black tail was swishing in tiny, side-to-side movements like a shy boy swaying his body.
"Oh, Ketchup knows the reason! It's because my little kitty brother Bacon doesn't like to be outdone by the cute and mighty me when Ketchup told Mommy and Daddy that I love ya lots forever and ever yesterday! Bacon doesn't want to destroy his aloof image to tell Mommy and Daddy that he loves you too so he ordered presents instead to show you his love instead of saying it. Such a little tsundere kitty! Hihihi. Meow~"
Bacon pounced on Ketchup again but the white cat was ready this time. She dodged her little brother and continued laughing with glee.
Iris also laughed with her AI daughter, a loving expression on her face. Indeed, Ketchup was right. Bacon was a little tsundere. She let the two AI cats play around.
Warmth filled her heart.
She knew that she was far from being the best mother in the world. In fact, the fear of being a bad mother was still embedded deeply in her heart but her AI children and husband's belief that she was the best was like a balm gradually soothing and healing this insecurity of hers.
Her hand rubbed her flat belly, as she imagined two little angels who chose her as their mother despite her incompetence.
'I'll protect you with my life. Forgive Mommy for being reckless and endangering you. And thank you for holding on inside me despite the danger I put you through. Mommy promises that I won't do it again. Your daddy and I and your older siblings and the rest of our family already love both of you. We can't wait to meet you.'
###
Jin Corporation.
"Dismissed."
Jin Liwei stood up and left the meeting room. His assistant, Xu Tian, was closely following behind him. He wanted to stay at home and accompany his wife but Iris persuaded him to return to work. He was reluctant but the company was indeed extremely busy during this period.
Although his wife had a lot of people and two extremely overprotective AI cat children watching over her, he still couldn't help but worry. He ended up commanding his helicopter and pilot to be stationed at the company's rooftop so that he could leave and rush to his wife's side anytime in the fastest time possible if an emergency were to happen to her again.
Jin Liwei returned to his office. There was a lot of paperwork piled up on his desk. Xu Tian was also as busy as him.
He just finished a phone call with his lawyer regarding Zhu Ning's matter when Xu Tian entered after knocking. His assistant was carrying a long, rectangular package.
"Sir, you have delivery from a person called P.J."
Jin Liwei scowled. "I don't know anyone named P.J. How did that package slip through security? Throw it away. I'm busy."
"Father is so despicable," a familiar child's voice said. "Bacon took the time to choose Father a present but he wants to throw it away. It's not classy."
Before Jin Liwei could react, his AI son who appeared just now disappeared once again.
"Uh oh, Daddy! Ketchup's little kitty brother ran to Mommy crying again. Poor Bacon! That was so mean, Daddy! Meowuwuwu!"
