His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1640

Iris Long and her friends laughed at Dom's dilemma with his niece and nephew. After a tough negotiation, Dom was able to "bribe" the two children to get him not only a glass of orange juice but another two plates full of food.

"Meow, meow, MEEEEOOOOOW!!!"

In the meantime, Iris listened to Ice Cream complaining about her Uncle Haohao. The fat, grey cat had no qualms about hissing at her uncle in between her complaints.

"Tsk." Lu Zihao sneered. "You've spoiled this brat so much that it even dares to complain about me. It doesn't know that I'm doing all this for its sake."

Iris sighed after hearing that her husband made an agreement with her brother to help Ice Cream lose weight.

She glanced at the complaining Ice Cream. She was all about accepting an individual no matter what, but Ice Cream's obesity was now getting out of control. The veterinarian had scolded Dom and the cat nannies so many times before because of Ice Cream's unhealthy weight.

So far, Ice Cream hadn't experienced any serious medical issues. Yet. Thank goodness for that. However, Iris wasn't stupid as to rely on luck alone. She knew that letting Ice Cream gain even more weight from hereon would only increase the cat's health risks.

In the end, Iris could only avoid looking at her cat daughter's eyes directly and hardened her heart.

'Sorry, Ice Cream. Mom is doing this for your sake. Mom wants you to live long and enjoy a healthy life.'

She forced herself to smile.

"Ice Cream, sweetheart. Listen to your Uncle Haohao's subordinates. Dad and Mom will reward you if you obey them and lose a little weight."

"Meow?" Ice Cream was shocked.

Lu Zihao sneered.

Ice Cream was too stunned to hiss at her uncle.

Then a squeak was heard. Everyone froze.

"Silence, everyone!" Long Jinjing said in a hurry before running to comfort Little Mochi.

All of them knew how difficult it was to put the fussy baby to sleep.

Iris muted her phone's microphone but didn't hang up yet. Although she missed her baby, she wanted to avoid letting Little Mochi accidentally hear her voice. She didn't want Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao to have a hard time lulling Little Mochi to sleep again.

Lu Zihao held his wife's phone instead and showed his sister how Long Jinjing comforted the fussy Little Mochi. Long Jinjing's expert movements were quick and smooth.

Little Mochi resisted at first after realizing that the one hugging him wasn't his mommy or daddy, but his Auntie Jinjing's pats felt too good. His teary eyes soon felt heavy. Then he heard his mommy's voice singing his favourite lullaby. After a few minutes, he soon fell asleep again.

Everyone sighed in relief again after making sure that the baby was finally asleep.

Lu Zihao turned off his sister's recorded track of her singing a Russian lullaby.

Soon, the phone call ended.

Iris sighed again. "I miss the children."

"Jinjing will take care of the kids," Jiang Ying Yue said. "Sir Zihao will also ensure their safety."

Iris looked at her. She could see that Jiang Ying Yue was also missing her son.

The two mothers temporarily pushed down their emotions to focus on the present. They could only remind themselves that this trip would only last for a few days. As soon as their business here was finished, they would return home and be with their children again.

Domingo and Reina Chua offered Iris and the others to sleep at their mansion, but Linda rejected her parents.

"Ma, Xiulan's schedule is full every day starting tomorrow," she said. "We don't have time to waste on traffic driving from here to Orchidia's headquarters."

Iris held Reina's hand. "Auntie, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you. I'm here on an official business trip, so I don't have too much free time. But my husband and I are already planning a family trip here next time with the twins. We'll have more time to spend together, then."

Reina squeezed her hand and smiled. "No need to apologize, Xiulan. I know that you're busy. Don't worry about me and your Uncle Domingo. Just go do your business. If you need something, just tell Dom or Linda. Also, if you want to eat something, call me. I'll cook it for you."

Iris and the others didn't stay at the Chuas for too long. By ten o'clock, they left and returned to the hotel.

Inside her hotel bedroom, Iris glanced at her phone while doing her skincare after a hot shower. Her husband hadn't replied to her messages. Ketchup told her that Jin Liwei wasn't done with his business tasks yet.

Iris sighed, feeling worried about her husband. She had a tendency to be a workaholic and her husband was the same. It was only due to their tacit understanding that both of them made tremendous efforts in their work-life balance.
