Later, the freshly showered and dressed Iris and Jin Liwei ate breakfast together with Dom and the cats. The atmosphere was lively with the two chatterboxes Dom and Ketchup gossiping about random topics.

Popcorn was his usual energetic self, trotting here and there and stretching his agile body to aid the digestion of his breakfast. On the other hand, Ice Cream felt grumpy because everyone refused to give her more food. How dare they starve her?! Hmph! She was almost able to persuade her mommy by acting cute but her strict daddy ruined all of her efforts and scolded her because of some rubbish the evil vet said about her. Now her mommy was acting strict, too. Ice Cream wanted to throw a tantrum but she was scared that her daddy would get angry at her. Whatever. If they didn't want to feed her, then so be it! She would just continue her beauty sleep.

Zzzzzz…. Snore… Snore….

Iris smiled at the sleeping Ice Cream, thinking that her eldest looked so adorable. Of course, her other cats, the energetic Popcorn and the talkative Ketchup were extremely cute, too. They were all so delightful. And most importantly, they were all hers…and Jin Liwei's.

A dumpling held by a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of her lips. She looked at her darling.

"Eat. You have another long day today," Jin Liwei told her.

She nodded and smiled at him before opening her mouth and eating the dumpling he fed her. Then they took turns feeding each other.

"Boss, sir boss. Both of you are glowing today! Ehehehe," Dom commented after a pause in his conversation with Ketchup.

"Silly Uncle Dom. Mommy and Daddy are always glowing because of the power of their love! Meow~" Ketchup quipped.

Iris chuckled at the two chatterboxes while Jin Liwei shook his head, feeling a little helpless because his youngest kitten's manner of speaking was becoming more and more similar to Dominic Chua.

"But I'm serious, boss, sir boss. The two of you are really glowing today. It makes you extra attractive than you already are. Ehehehe. What happened? Did you and sir boss have a good night's sleep?"

"Not really. Liwei and I slept past midnight so we only had less than four hours of sleep. I don't feel like I slept enough," Iris told Dom.

"Eh?! My gorgeous self is so envious! I also slept past midnight but look at me. I look like a drunk panda with my dark circles. And my eye bags! I could use them to store coins." Dom pretended to cry. "Boss, how could you and sir boss still look fresh, glowing and fabulous even with not enough sleep? It's so unfair! Wait, did Alric develop a new nighttime beauty product?"

Iris shook her head.

"Then what's the secret? Don't tell me it's DNA. I'll be heartbroken!"

"Do you really want to know?" she asked.

Dom nodded eagerly. "Yes, boss! YES!!! Please tell me."

"Ketchup, cover your ears."

"Meow? Oh… Aye aye, Mommy!"

"Huh? Boss, why did you—"

"The secret is that Liwei and I had sex this morning," Iris said in a straightforward manner before taking a sip of hot tea.

Dom gasped dramatically, looking scandalized, even as his eyes were sparkling with endless mirth.

As soon as Iris finished speaking, Jin Liwei started coughing violently all of a sudden, almost choking on a damn dumpling.

"Liwei! Are you alright?! Oh no!" Iris freaked out beside him but her body moved on instinct, quickly jumping down from her seat, ready to perform Heimlich maneuver.

But before she could wrap her arms around his waist and do abdominal thrusts on him, the red-faced chef who was in the middle of serving them a fresh platter of scallion pancakes moved faster and handed Jin Liwei a glass of water. Jin Liwei immediately downed the water, flushing the damn dumpling down his throat. Finally, he was able to breathe again.

"Li-Liwei…are you alright?" Iris asked while rubbing his back and wiping his mouth with a serviette.

He could only nod for now as he focused on breathing properly. When he finally felt like himself again, he held her cheeks and framed her beautiful face with his hands. "Love."

"Yes? What's wrong?" She felt worried and looked at him up and down, trying to see if he hurt himself somewhere.

He ignored her questions and looked at her straight in the eyes with a serious expression. "I would really appreciate it if you don't talk about our sex life so openly with others."

She tilted her head to the side but failed because he was holding her head, so she gave that up and instead asked, "Why? Dom is not 'others'. He's Dom, a member of our family."

"B-boss…" Dom's eyes started tearing up. He felt touched by her words.

Jin Liwei sighed. "I know. But that's not what I mean. I just want to keep our sex life private between the two of us."

"Oh. Are you feeling shy?"

He pinched her cheeks but not too hard so as not to hurt her. "Not shy," he denied, although he indeed felt a little shy sharing such intimate details about himself and his lover. But wasn't it normal to feel this way? His baby girl's way of thinking was really different from normal people. As expected of his genius wife! Her thought processes were always special.

"I feel uncomfortable," he told her. "I don't want to share such intimate things about what we do during our private time."

"Oh."

"So don't tell others about our sex life anymore, alright?"

"Fine."

He sighed in relief. "Besides Dominic and our doctors, did you talk about our sex life with anyone else?"

She hesitated, making him narrow his eyes. Feeling a little guilty, she confessed. "Don't worry. I didn't tell too many people. Only my friends—Ying Yue, Meimei, Clover, Big Sister Jinjing and Chen Fei. Oh, and also Big Brother Zihao."

"You...you talked about our sex life with Fifth Brother?" Jin Liwei was dismayed. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
