In his office, Jin Liwei slumped on his chair behind his huge desk. His expression was grave. He leaned back, closed his eyes, and started massaging his temples. Before he could analyze the consequences of what happened with Rose Young downstairs, Ketchup appeared on his desktop computer screen.

"Excuse me, Daddy. My mommy is calling. Meow~"

He immediately opened his eyes. "Answer it for me."

"Okie dokie, Daddy! Meow~"

"Hello, darling?"

The tension that he was feeling gradually relaxed as soon as he heard his wife's melodious voice. "Hi, love."

"Ketchup told me what happened."

He sighed. "I fired Rose Young. I can't stand her anymore."

"Good." Her answer was quick, surprising him a little.

"You don't think that I was too impulsive? Won't it ruin our plans? We originally wanted to keep the woman working at my company while we dig for helpful information about the power backing the Young family in Singapore."

"Indeed, that was our original plan, but I don't want another woman to keep on bothering and irritating my husband."

His grave expression was now completely gone, replaced by stupid grin.

"And don't worry," Iris assured him. "You didn't really ruin our plans. Yes, it's easier for us to monitor Rose Young and even use her as leverage to force out her family's mysterious backer, but we can still find other ways to find out the backer's identity. It would be more challenging but we're not afraid of challenges. We'll welcome them. Bring it on!"

"En. Bring it on." Jin Liwei smiled.

Iris reminded him, "For now, prepare yourself to defend your decision of firing Rose Young. We know that she has a strong support in your board of directors not only because of her connections but also due to her own abilities."

"I'll take care of it."

"I know you will." Her sigh was tinged with regret. "I must admit that Rose Young is actually quite a capable business executive. If I don't have my current bias against her for coveting my husband, I probably would've already stolen her away from your company before hiring her for Orchidia Beauty. Unfortunately, the two of us can't stand each other. She would probably want to die rather than work under me."

His lips pressed into a thin line as he remembered how Rose Young insulted his wife and looked down on her. However, he didn't mention it to Iris. There was no need for him to do that. Both of them knew in their hearts who had the superior abilities and accomplishments. After all, his wife was a current student of the legendary school for geniuses, Cross Academy. Not only that. She also already graduated from the academy in her past life as Evelina Vetrova.

Sometimes he wished that his wife wasn't too low-profile regarding her identity as a Cross Academy student. He wanted to use her status as a literal certified genius to slap the faces of all the people who kept on looking down on her despite her increasing achievements and reputation. However, he respected her decision to keep it a secret for now.

Not wanting them to keep on talking about Rose Young, he changed the subject. "I invited my department executives to dinner on Friday to celebrate our marriage. They congratulated us this morning."

"Good idea. We didn't invite them to our wedding so you should at least do this much for your employees."

"En."

"But are you only treating the department executives? What about the rest of your employees?"

He fell silent for a moment before explaining, "Jin Corporation and our subsidiary companies have hundreds of thousands of employees all around the world. I can't possibly treat them all at the same time—"

"Jin Liwei! We have plenty of money! Have you forgotten that you're a billionaire? You wife's wealth isn't too shabby either. It's just a meal. How much could that be? Even Ketchup knows how treat her White Tigress' employees and order them some take-out."

He watched his AI daughter on his computer screen shake her fluffy white butt with happiness after being praised by her mommy.

"I'm wrong, love. Don't be upset anymore. I promise that I'll order a hearty meal for every single one of my employees."

He was quick to appease his wife. Although she could now better control her mood swings, her temper was still extremely fierce compared to before he got her pregnant. Her private doctor said that it wasn't good for her and their babies' health to get so worked up, so he should avoid agitating her if he could.

"Hmph. Good!"

"How about we also treat all the employees of Orchidia Beauty, Planet Monkey and Gold Heights?"

"Okay." Her tone was now gentler, clearly pleased by his suggestion. "It's short notice but let's do it on Friday at lunch time. Then you can treat your department executives at dinner."

"En."

"Hmm. Should I come, too?"

His eyes lit up for a second before he frowned. "Of course, I want you to come with me since it's a post-celebration of our marriage, but I don't recommend it. You still get sick around certain food smells. I don't want you to suffer in public with strangers."

She agreed with him, sighing. "Alright. I have to go now, darling. I still have to attend an online class with Professor Schwarz. Then Brother Chonglin and I will secretly head to Bright Summit together this afternoon."

After exchanging diabetes-inducing words of love, the husband and wife finally ended the call. Then Jin Liwei immediately had Ketchup call Dominic to remind him to watch over his wife.

"Don't worry, sir boss! Leave the boss to me! I'll make sure that she and the twins are always safe and sound!"

Jin Liwei felt relieved after Dominic's reassurances. Then he tried calling his brother but Jin Chonglin was unavailable. Lin Dong said that Jin Chonglin was at the cosmetic clinic getting his monthly facial. Jin Liwei didn't bother waiting for his high-maintenance brother.

He pondered about his next move, hesitating for a few moments, before finally making a decision.

"Ketchup, call your Grandpa Lu."

"Aye aye, Daddy! Meow~"

Two rings later, a familiar old man's voice boomed. "Hello? Hello! Why are you calling? Did something happen? Are Xiulan my girl and my great-grandbaby alright? Are you taking good care of them? I want to know! If you dare to neglect them, see how this old man smacks you! Hah!"
