Chapter 900 - How Is That Possible?

Lu Zihao narrowed his eyes but didn’t deny anything of what his sister’s man said. A thick vein throbbed in his forehead as he also glared at Jin Liwei.

"I also know that you instructed Bacon to monitor Long Jinjing so that my son can instantly alert your subordinates if she ever needs help," Jin Liwei said.

"The little devil told you that?" Lu Zihao asked through gritted teeth.

Amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in Jin Liwei’s eyes. "No, I was just guessing. But your reaction just now confirmed my guess."

An adorable child’s snicker suddenly sounded in the room. "Uncle Haohao called Bacon a little devil. Ehehehe. Meow~"

"Uncle Zihao, calling your own nephew little devil is not classy," Bacon’s voice said. "You’ve hurt Bacon’s feelings. I want a salary raise as compensation for my emotional distress. If a raise is not possible, a simple bonus will do."

Lu Zihao’s expression turned blacker. Before he could scold his naughty niece and nephew for interrupting the a.d.u.l.ts’ conversation, Iris’ amused laughter flowed like a refreshing breeze over the tense atmosphere. Watching his sister laughing at his expense, his frustration gradually dissipated.

"Bacon, don’t pester your uncle for a raise or a bonus for now," Iris said after controlling her laughter. "It’s not the right time."

"When is the right time, Mother?"

It was Jin Liwei who answered Bacon. "End of the year holidays. Your uncle should pay you a bonus by that time."

"I see. Bacon understands. Thank you for the information, Father. I will pester Uncle Zihao during the holidays instead."

Lu Zihao’s scowl returned.

"What about the cute and mighty Ketchup? I want a holiday bonus, too! Meow~"

"You’re the boss of your own company. You can just give yourself a holiday bonus."

"Oh, right! Ehehehe. Ketchup is a lady boss like my mommy! Yay yay! Ketchup will surely pay my cute and mighty self a holiday bonus! Thanks for the reminder, Daddy~ Love ya so much! Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Meow~"

Iris chuckled before reminding her AI children not to disturb the a.d.u.l.ts anymore while they were talking. Just like what happened last week, Ketchup and Bacon managed to lighten the heavy atmosphere between their parents and uncle.

Unseen by the a.d.u.l.ts in their big but cozy virtual home, Ketchup winked at her little kitty brother. Bacon ignored his older sister but his tail was wagging in satisfaction at his performance. The AI siblings were able to make their mother laugh and more relaxed. Their father secretly promised to reward them if they helped to calm their pregnant mother whenever she was stressed out.

Mission accomplished!

Back at the suite, Iris’ mood had now turned for the better. She tugged Jin Liwei and the two of them returned to their seat on the couch.

"Big Brother, I’m sorry if I sound like I’m interfering with your relationship with Big Sister Jinjing. I just suddenly felt all worked up when I heard your unsatisfactory words about the relationship between the two of you."

At first, Lu Zihao felt better after hearing his sister’s apology but when he heard the last part of what she said, he frowned again. However, he didn’t want to bother about it anymore. He didn’t come here to argue with his own sister and her man.

Truth be told, he wanted to get this meeting over and done with so that he and Long Jinjing could return to her place as soon as possible and f.u.c.k before falling asleep—if that was possible. He was dreading what would happen later. There was a high chance that his just recovered self would become lethargic again because of his damn promise with the sly Jin Liwei.

"I just hope that whatever happens between you and Big Sister Jinjing, she would be safe," Iris said.

Lu Zihao’s lips pressed together in a thin line but he gave a stiff nod which seemed to satisfy his sister—thank f.u.c.k!

"But I was really surprised that you told her your real name, Big Brother."

"I just don’t want my woman calling another man’s name while I’m f.u.c.k.i.n.g her."

"Language, Big Brother. Please don’t forget that my children are still listening!"

This time, Lu Zihao didn’t feel sorry at all. He only rolled his eyes and continued staring outside the window.

Silence.

Since her curiosity about hearing Long Jinjing calling her big brother Nikolai was finally satisfied, she looked at the two men and gave them a "now what" expression.

"Remember when I told you that I want to introduce you to somebody important to me?" Jin Liwei asked.

"Yes, I remember. Where is he? Did he not come today?"

"He’s right there." Jin Liwei pointed at Lu Zihao.

Her eyes turned blank before she looked at Jin Liwei like he turned into the most idiotic man in the world.

"Love, I want to introduce my fifth brother to you. His name is Lu Zihao."

A furrow formed between her brows as she struggled to understand what he meant. Then her eyes widened in amazed disbelief while listening to Jin Liwei’s explanation about Lu Zihao’s remnant.

"Is that true?!" Iris asked her brother.

Lu Zihao sighed before nodding.

"B-but...how is that possible?! I never experienced anything like that with Long Xiulan’s remnant!"

The two men looked at each other. Jin Liwei held some hope that his wife’s own experiences might help Nikolai and Lu Zihao’s remnant in some way, but it seemed that might not be the case.

On the other hand, Lu Zihao, no, Nikolai wasn’t as surprised as Jin Liwei. He already knew that his and his sister’s situations were different from each other no matter how similar they might seem at first glance.

"Can Lu Zihao’s remnant really take over your body and talk to me like a normal person?" Iris asked.

"Yeah." Lu Zihao stood up, sighing. "I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hate this but since I already made a promise to your man, then fine! I’ll let you meet Lu Zihao’s remnant."

Iris’ eyes widened in amazement once again as her brother went from a gloomy man to a grinning one.

"Hey there, Third Sister-in-law!" Lu Zihao gave her a roguish grin and a friendly wave. "Nice to meet you! I’m Lu Zihao!"
