His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1584  A Well-Rounded Child

"Are you coming with Eldest Brother Yehan?" Iris asked.

"I don't think I will," Jiang Ying Yue said in a whisper. "I think that Sir Liwei will appreciate his brothers' presence more than mine."

Iris sighed. "I won't force you. Also, call Liwei Third Brother instead of Sir."

Jiang Ying Yue made a sheepish face. "I don't think I can do that yet, Xiulan. I'm so used to calling him sir that calling him Third Brother sounds too weird for me."

"How about Big Brother Boss?" Dom asked in a teasing tone. "You also call him Sir Zihao instead of Fifth Brother."

This time, Jiang Ying Yue winced. If Jin Liwei intimidated her, then Lu Zihao outright terrified her.

Lu Zihao gave them a side eye but otherwise didn't comment. He continued trying to feed the rowdy and messy Little Misha.

There were splashes of orange baby food on his shirt. If it were only him present, he might have already begun lecturing his son but his wife was there to stop him.

Long Jinjing had grown a stronger spine ever since she began therapy to deal with her post-partum depression. She was now able to state her mind clearly to her own husband, not allowing him to get his way all the time, especially when it came to their differing views on how to discipline their children.

Lu Zihao could only restrain his temper and wait patiently until his sons grew up a little to begin training them into strong, disciplined young men.

Little Jun's kidnapping was tragic and extremely traumatic to the child, but Lu Zihao thought that it brought unexpected results for them. It made his wife and sister realize the importance of training all their children in self-defence. Now, both his wife and sister weren't resistant to the idea of him training his sons and nephews in the near future how to fight.

Of course, the two women insisted that what the kids should learn was mainly self-defence, but since Lu Zihao planned to be in charge of the training, he would make sure that the rascals would learn much more than just basic self-defence skills. He would make sure that they would be prepared for almost anything so that what happened to their eldest cousin Little Jun wouldn't happen to any of them in the future.

Neither Long Jinjing nor Iris had any idea that their husband/brother was planning on running their kids to the ground with harsh training in the future.

After breakfast, Iris received a phone call from her husband.

The couple chatted for a while. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She sensed Jin Liwei's depressed mood and tried lifting it up by coaxing her babies and their cousins to say hello to him. It worked…but only a little. She knew that he was just forcing himself to smile for their family's sake.

"I'm okay, love," he tried reassuring her. "Grandma Li is awake. We'll know the results of her medical tests later today. I requested that they fast-track the results."

"Take care of yourself, darling. I love you."

This time, his smile was genuine. "I love you, too, Evelina."

The phone call ended.

"Dom," Iris called.

"Yes, Boss?"

"Can you please arrange nutritious meals to be delivered for my husband and the others at the hospital? I'm worried about them, especially Liwei. He has lost a lot of weight since Grandma Li collapsed."

Dom's smiling face turned serious in an instant. He nodded. "Roger, Boss! Will take care of it right now!"

He whipped out his own phone and began making the necessary arrangements. Iris knew that he would order the best meals for her husband and everyone. Dom was very meticulous when it came to caring for the family.

Iris gave herself a day off today on purpose. She wanted to spend quality time with her children and her friends for the whole day. Her twin sons were extremely ecstatic to be with her. They clung to her, even Little Matcha who wasn't usually as clingy as his twin brother.

By dusk, Dragon Palace Home #10 regained its usual liveliness with the return of its young madam.

Iris stood in the front hall with an expression filled with reluctance.

"Say goodbye to Mama Xiulan now, Little Jun," Jiang Ying Yue said.

"Bye-bye, Mama!" Little Jun hugged his godmother.

Iris gave her godson two smacking kisses on each cheek. "Goodbye, sweetheart."

"Leggo, Mommy, Daddy!" (Let's go, Mommy and Daddy)

The little guy held his mother and stepfather's hands.

Iris felt sad that her godson didn't feel reluctant to part with her anymore.

"Why don't you sleep with Mama Xiulan here tonight?" Iris tried to tempt her godson.

Little Jun paused and thought about it.

"Oh, Xiulan." Jiang Ying Yue chuckled, shaking her head.

Lin Yehan also smiled.

Iris didn't pay attention to them. She waited for the child's reply.

Little Jun shook his head. "No, Mama. Junjun schweep with doggie, Gwavy and Bushtah! Mommy, Daddy, schweep togwethah!" (No, Mama. I will sleep with my dogs, Gravy and Buster! Mommy and Daddy sleep together!)

Lin Yehan laughed while Jiang Ying Yue's cheeks turned crimson.

Iris sighed.

Time really did fly by so quickly. Her Little Jun had already grown up. He wasn't reluctant to leave her, his beloved Mama Xiulan, anymore.

At the same time, Iris also felt happy for her godson. It was such a relief that Little Jun seemed to regain his previous lively and cheerful self. However, according to Jiang Ying Yue, the little guy would still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night screaming.

The trauma from the kidnapping was still deeply embedded in the child's subconscious mind. Hence, it was of paramount importance that Little Jun continued attending his psychiatrist's therapy sessions.

According to Jiang Ying Yue again, Dr. Poon's therapy sessions with the child didn't look or feel like therapy at all. The child psychiatrist was an expert in her field. Little Jun loved meeting with Dr. Poon because she made the therapy feel like fun playtime. So far, it seemed to be working. Little Jun had become much more cheerful and well-rounded, albeit a little too mature than the adults would have liked.

"Good night, sweetheart," Iris whispered as she watched the Lin family including the guard dogs, Gravy and Buster (and the female handler), leave in Lin Yehan's car.
