755 Devil (1/2)
”Xiulan is pregnant now, Fifth Brother,” Jin Liwei said. ”It's very easy for her to get upset over the littlest of things. I don't want anything or anyone to trigger her, including you.”
”Heh~ Third Brother is talking as if you haven't made her upset since confirming that she's pregnant,” Lu Zihao drawled. ”Little Sister just told me that you two fought over her work schedule before I came over.”
Jin Liwei sighed and massaged his temples. ”I only did what I thought is best for her and our babies. I don't want to risk her overexerting herself at work because she tends to do that. If nobody monitors her, she'll work herself until she collapses because she's just so passionate.” A faint smile improved his weary face. ”That's one of the things I love about her—the passion in everything she does.”
Lu Zihao made a sound of agreement.
”But she needs to ease back on her work. I worry about her a lot because she has a tendency to faint and a history of falling into coma. Sometimes she's so healthy while at other times, she seems so....”
”Fragile,” Lu Zihao filled in.
”En. If it were up to me alone, she would stop working and stay here at home where I know that she'll be safe and pampered for the entire duration of her pregnancy, our babies' birth, and the twins' first few months.”
”Excellent idea.”
The two men looked at each other. Then they chuckled because both of them were of the same mind regarding what they thought was best for Iris. However, both also knew that she would never allow either of them to have full control of how she lived her life no matter how much she loved them.
”Her temper has become terrible,” Lu Zihao commented after the short silence.
”Mood swings,” Jin Liwei muttered.
”That's what you get for getting her pregnant so soon.”
Jin Liwei threw a cold look at his fifth brother. ”I don't regret getting the woman I love pregnant. On the contrary, I'm ecstatic. Our babies are not a mistake. Never. They're blessings.”
Lu Zihao didn't reply. He wasn't even looking at Jin Liwei. Instead, his gaze was directed at the bright and sunny scenery outside the window.

”Which brings me to the matter that I want to talk to you about,” Jin Liwei said.
