747 Ive Known Him Longer Than You Do (1/2)

Thankfully, the food arrived before Iris could resort to eating Jin Liwei's face. Just the mere sight of food energized her enough that she could move by herself without relying on his assistance despite feeling weak and dizzy due to hunger. He felt relieved at her great appetite.

However, he had to order a couple of dishes to be taken away after she complained about their ”nasty” smell. She hadn't reached the point yet of having morning sickness or vomiting, but her oversensitivity to certain smells was becoming more pronounced with each passing day.

The chef also prepared food for Jin Liwei so that the couple could eat together. Brunch for her, lunch for him. After the food had been set up on the table in their suite's living room, Jin Liwei noticed that there seemed to be a big excess of food enough for another person to eat besides the two of them.

”Mr. Lu Zihao called ahead and informed me that he would like to join the master and the mistress to eat lunch once he arrives,” the butler explained. ”Therefore, I took it upon myself to have the chef prepare additional food for him. He should be here in a few more minutes.”

”Big Brother must be tired so he should rest first,” Iris mumbled. ”We can see each other later.”

Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow at her unusual behaviour. If this was before, she would be bursting in excitement whenever Lu Zihao returned home from his frequent long periods of absence. ”You don't want to meet Fifth Brother? That's fine. You don't have to. We can have someone tell him that you're not feeling well right now, so he should visit you later instead.”

She looked tempted at his suggestion for a few seconds before eventually shaking her head. ”No. That won't work. If he wants to see and talk to us, nobody here can stop him.”

”I can.” Jin Liwei looked sure of himself.

She threw him a sidelong glance which was suspiciously tinged with doubt. He narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

”Dear wife, what kind of expression is that? You don't believe your own husband?”

”I believe you,” she said, a little too hurriedly. Then she stuffed her mouth with food and paid him no more mind. Right now, the food was more attractive to her than him.

He sighed and also began eating. But unlike her, food would never be more attractive than her to him. He enjoyed watching her eat with more enthusiasm than usual. Even though her table manners had become a little clumsy in her rush to put food in her mouth, in his eyes, she was still the most elegant woman in the world.

She finished her plate in no time before quickly moving to the chocolate desserts that she had been eyeing since the food arrived. This time, she didn't rush eating but took her time.

”Ketchup, when is your uncle coming?” she asked, her nervousness returning.

”Uncle Haohao has already entered the mansion. At his current walking pace, Uncle Haohao should arrive at Mommy and Daddy's suite in 3 minutes and 21 seconds! Meow~”

Iris paled after hearing how soon her brother would be arriving. Too soon! [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

”Relax, love. Why do you look so nervous? It's just Fifth Brother. Or did you do something behind his back and now you're feeling guilty?”

She threw him a sullen look.

”What?” He was confused.
