The parents of the two special cat AI siblings were walking in the hallway after leaving the computer room. They were headed back to their suite where dinner would soon be served.

Jin Liwei stopped all of a sudden and pulled Iris in a tight embrace. She was a little startled but still returned the hug, careful not to press on his back injuries. When almost a minute passed and he still hadn't let her go, she began to feel worried.

"What's wrong, darling? Are you okay?"

He made a sound in his throat but she wasn't sure how to interpret it.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked next.

He didn't reply right away but eventually said, "Manageable."

Guilt ate at her. He must still be hurting. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" He finally loosened their embrace but still didn't release her yet.

She looked up at him. "I've been so…so mean to you today. You're still injured and yet all I did was constantly pick fights with you. You even aggravated your injuries while I was sleeping. I should be taking care of you—"

"No, love. I should be the one taking care of you." He caressed her cheek and gave her a soft smile. "You're pregnant. Second Brother already warned me that some women experience extreme emotional fluctuations during pregnancy and it looks like you're one of those."

She sighed. "This is so annoying! I don't feel like myself."

"Listen to me." He framed her face with his hands and looked at her with all seriousness. "Both of us are new at this but we'll get through it together. Understand?"

She nodded.

"And don't dwell on the negative things. I, for one, am very ecstatic that you're pregnant. Always remember that, even though we might fight a lot during this time while we're trying to resolve the issues that we still have between us. Just focus on the grand reward after all this."

"What grand reward?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

His mouth curved up. "Our twin babies."

Her smile followed, sweet and lovely. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces). If you're not reading this chapter on W e b n o v e l, it has been stolen.

They continued gazing into each other's eyes, not at all in a rush to return to their suite for dinner. Nobody disturbed them, although Iris could hear some of the passing household staff quietly shuffling out of the way so as not to disturb the two of them. They wanted to enjoy this moment with just the two of them without fighting.

Then she said, "But you're wrong."

He frowned. "If you mean about me changing your work schedule—"

"Not that." She shook her head. "We still need to discuss that, yes. It's very important to me. But not today, darling. I don't want to fight with you anymore today."

"En."

"When I said you're wrong, I was talking about when I said a moment ago that I should be taking care of you, but then you said no, that you should be the one taking care of me instead. You're wrong. We're both wrong. But also correct at the same time."

He raised an eyebrow but didn't speak and instead waited for her to explain. 

"We should be taking care of each other," she told him. "Not just me, not just you, but a reciprocal care for each other. We're lovers and partners after all."

"En." His smile became wider and tender.

She rose to her tiptoes and gave him a gentle peck on the lips. But before she could finish, his arm had already circled around her waist while his other hand held her head to keep it in place as he deepened the kiss.

His tongue sought entrance inside her mouth which she readily granted, opening it and taking him in. He plunged it inside, instantly filling her until she could barely breathe. He swept inside her mouth like a king reminding his territory that it was his and his alone, nobody else's. 

She also gave him what he wanted, stroking the insides of his mouth with her tongue like a queen marking her claim and reminding him that they ruled together. Not one above the other but as equals in love and passion.

There was still a faint medicinal scent remaining on him that bothered her a little but not enough to completely repulse her like before. Her desire for him was gradually becoming hotter and fiercer by the second until it was all she could feel. She didn't care if he smelled a little stinky because of the special pain gel.

When her naughty hands started drifting downwards to where a certain "creature" was already rising its hard and stiff head in hunger, Jin Liwei had to forcefully end the kiss. 

She was dazed but still understood why he stopped. With a regretful pout, she sighed and turned away so she wouldn't see his sexy expression and tempt her even more.

Out of sight, out of mind. 

Nope, not working.

"I want you so badly," she whispered.

That made him groan. He was about to pull her for another kiss but she blocked him with both hands on his chest.

"But we can't," she said with great regret. "Your health is more important than one night of pleasure."

They were silent for who knew how long, both doing their best to cool down and control their raging desires for each other. This abstinence was absolute torture to both of them. 

"I'll make sure to heal as soon as possible," he swore.

"Good. I can't wait."

He leaned forward and told her in a low, husky voice. "Prepare yourself for our honeymoon. I'll ravish you until you're begging me for more."

"Maybe I'll be the one to ravish you," she countered, teasing him. "My sex drive has increased because I'm pregnant, you know."

"Worry not, dear wife. You can ravish husband all you want."

They chuckled like a pair of stupid idiots but at least they had calmed their desires enough to continue on their way back to their suite. 

While walking, Iris finally explained to Jin Liwei how Bacon came about. Afterwards, he couldn't help but frown.

"If Bacon's origin is corruption, won't it be too dangerous?"
