390 Explosive Rages (1/2)

The symphony orchestra musicians on the double grand staircases all leaned forward, while the household staff edged closer. They all pricked their ears to listen.

”Are you serious?” Iris asked. She looked up at Jin Liwei in disbelief.

”Of course, I'm serious,” he replied. And indeed, his expression showed that he was.

She released a heavy sigh. ”Darling, didn't I already tell you that I don't acknowledge being in a relationship with you before you officially asked me and I agreed to be your girlfriend? I don't understand why you would think that we became lovers when you first kissed me. I remember wanting to punch you on the face that time. I even borderline hated you.”

The eyes of the symphony orchestra musicians and the household staff widened.

Wow! They didn't know about this. How interesting!

They all leaned forward a bit more to the point that some of the musicians almost fell down the stairs. Fortunately, their colleagues caught them.

A hint of sulkiness appeared on Jin Liwei's expression when he heard that she hated him in the past. However, it quickly disappeared and he became subdued remembering how he acted that time. He was such an asshole back then, not to mention his despicable role in hiding the truth about the car crash that almost killed her and sent her into coma.

Thinking more deeply about the matter, it was actually quite surprising that he was able to make her fall in love with him. Fate really intertwined their lives in mysterious ways. All of the challenges that they faced to be where they were at now made him love her more.

And now they were even engaged. If things went according to plan, they would get married, have babies and create their dream family together. He was looking forward to achieving all of these.

Looking at his baby girl's exasperated expression, Jin Liwei framed her beautiful face between his hands. Stroking her soft cheeks, he told her in a low voice, ”Thank you for loving me, Long Xiulan…or whoever you are.”

Iris' exasperation instantly melted, replaced by a warm and fluffly feeling inside. She couldn't stop herself from smiling at his words.

”Jin Liwei, you're annoying but I also love that about you. Still annoying, though.”

One corner of his mouth curved up into a lopsided half-smirk.

”Kyaaaaaah!!! Ah, my heart!” Dom squealed and clutched his chest in a dramatic manner.

The household staff looked visibly relieved that their master and mistress weren't going to fight and were acting lovey-dovey again. They already learned that their mistress could be just as scary as their master when she was angry.

What scared them was her unpredictability. With their master, they already knew what he was like when he was angry. His was more of a cold fury that transformed the entire mansion into frozen hell.

In contrast, they didn't know exactly what to expect whenever their mistress was angered. Sometimes, she would also go into cold fury like their master. However, there were times when she would go into explosive rages, wreaking destruction throughout the mansion.

These instances happened quite often after the night she attended her father's birthday party. The first time they experienced one of her explosive rages, they were all shocked and frightened out of their wits.

She was furious at something she read online and smashed her tablet on the floor. Then she went on a smashing spree in one of the lounge rooms. She only calmed down after their master arrived and sweet-talked her.

When she had these frightening mood swings a few more times, it reached a point that the butler couldn't hold it in any longer. He talked to Jin Liwei.

”Master, I think the mistress is pregnant. Should I buy a few home pregnancy tests? Or should I make an appointment with a doctor to come here to personally examine her?”

”Calm down. She's not pregnant,” Jin Liwei assured his butler. ”Although I wouldn't mind if she was. We've been using the condoms you're providing us without fail.”
