Jin Liwei listened to his private investigator's findings about the high society matrons. He personally didn't care about any of them but there was no way that he would allow anyone to spout malicious things about his wife.

"Share your findings to my lawyer, Atty. Kang Huizhong," he instructed. "I'll be suing all those women for slander."

"Understood, sir."

"I'm also sure that you already know what to do with the information you have in your hands. Since those women chose to attack my wife's name, we have to pay them back in kind for all the malicious lies they said about her."

The P.I. definitely noticed Jin Liwei referring to Iris as his wife but didn't comment about it. Jin Liwei decided not to keep it a secret anymore especially since the P.I. was now exclusively working for him anyway. It also grated on his nerves whenever the P.I. kept on referring to his wife as his fiancée. They were already married!

A burst of satisfaction filled Jin Liwei but he quickly returned his focus on the matter at hand. He knew that his wife had the ability on her own to uncover all the information that his P.I. and brother-in-law's Shadow Winds were gathering but both he and Nikolai agreed that it was best not to worry her about these things especially right now. Keeping her healthy and safe during her pregnancy and childbirth was their main priority.

"I also found out more details about the confrontation of the viscountess with the matrons." Then the P.I. proceeded to tell him a more accurate account of what really happened according to eyewitnesses.

Jin Liwei frowned. He already heard from Wei Lan that her Spanish stepson was with her and Randy at the time the incident at the exclusive restaurant happened. He knew Randy because as his wife's Zumba instructor before Iris got pregnant. There was nothing suspicious about Randy's background.

It was Wei Lan's stepson, a man named René Alejandro del Aguila, who made Jin Liwei pause. Perhaps it was because he knew very little about the Spaniard and hadn't met him yet. All he knew for sure was that René Alejandro was the adopted son of Wei Lan's husband, the current viscount of Spain's Castillo de Estrellas.

When Wei Lan called a few days ago, she invited him and Iris to meet her stepson for dinner after the newlyweds returned from their honeymoon. He and Iris accepted the invitation but the dinner date hadn't been set yet. They would leave it to their respective assistants, Xu Tian and Dominic, to arrange the dinner date with Wei Lan and René Alejandro. It was because he and his wife already had work waiting for them after their honeymoon.

He had Jin Corporation to run while Iris had several things to finalize regarding the new entertainment and talent management company that they would be establishing with his younger brother, Jin Chonglin. She also needed to attend meetings with JJ and the other artists who were currently recording the songs that she wrote. And of course, she was also working on what she considered the main priority of her career right now—her collaboration with her mentor, the legendary hitmaker, Enrique Valdez.

Jin Liwei was extremely worried that his wife would overwork herself so he was determined to watch her like a hawk without being too obvious about it so as not to piss her off. Fortunately, he already had a secret agreement with their two AI children, Ketchup and Bacon, to closely monitor their mom and ensure that she was always healthy and safe.

Both of them had all of these commitments so Wei Lan and René Alejandro would have to wait. But the real reason for the delay tactic was because Jin Liwei wanted to dig for more information about the Spaniard before meeting him in person.

"Sir, this René Alejandro arrived in the country with several other people who we identified as people working in his cybersecurity company," his P.I. reported. "They are all staying in the same hotel but only René Alejandro is checked in at a penthouse unit. We attempted several times to find out more details about them but I'm sorry to say that we are unable to discover anything more substantial than what we have right now."

Jin Liwei frowned.

"I think that it's maybe because they're all working in a cybersecurity company. Securing their own personal information and making it hard for just anyone to get them are the best assurance that they can provide to their clients."

"Maybe," Jin Liwei murmured.

He wanted to dispel all of his suspicious as soon as possible but a quick glance at his wristwatch showed that it was almost time for his wife's daily afternoon nap. If he didn't remind her, she would compose music until tomorrow without any break.

After giving his P.I. additional instructions, he ended the phone call and returned to the makeshift piano room. And indeed, his wife was still in the zone. He paused by the doorway because he just had to admire the music. It sounded fuller than earlier, as if she was slowly injecting soul into the music that she was composing.

Incredible as always.

Then he finally approached her and wrapped his arms around her waist before pressing a soft kiss on her cheek. Her hands stopped mid-movement on the piano keys. It took a few seconds before she could pull her consciousness out of her creative zone and return to her present surroundings.

"Darling," she murmured, still a little absentmindedly.

"Yes, love. It's me. Time for a nap."

She looked torn but eventually sighed and nodded. Her hand subconsciously rubbed her stomach. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l. c o m (remove spaces).

"Hungry?" Jin Liwei asked.

She started to shake her head but stopped before nodding.

He smiled. "Then let's eat some snacks first before taking a nap."

"I want chocolate."

"Alright. Let me call the chef." Even as he said this, he was already leading his wife out of the piano room.

She yawned and followed him. Her eyes were already starting to feel heavy but she wanted some chocolate desserts first.
