HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR

61 - 70

Chapter 61: Stupid Computer

"Boss, oh please have mercy on me and hurry up. I'm starving! I'm gonna die if I wait one more second to eat." Dom immediately whined when Iris and Jin Liwei arrived at the dining table.

Yi Mei knocked on his head. "Behave!" She turned to Iris and smiled. "Please have a seat, Young Miss...Mr. Jin."

Jin Liwei walked over and pulled a chair for his Xiulan.

"Thanks," she said as she sat down.

He kissed her forehead before taking a seat beside her.

"Ehehe." Dom looked at them with sparkling eyes. He didn't know whether his drool was because of the lovebirds or the delicious food on the table.

The dinner was Filipino-inspired once again, which explained Dom's impatience. The main dishes were chicken afritada [1], lumpia [2], and regular steamed jie lan [3] with oyster sauce for the vegetable dish.

Dom wolfed down the food and Iris had to remind him numerous times to chew before swallowing.

It was the first time Iris and Jin Liwei tasted afritada and they were very curious about it. Dom was more than happy to tell them about the dish in between shoving spoonful of food into his mouth.

After the simple yet sumptuous meal, they were served with hot hibiscus tea.

Jin Liwei gave his baby girl's assistant a steely look. Dom immediately understood and quickly excused himself and left the two alone at the dining table.

Iris enjoyed her cup of tea in an unhurried manner. This nightly ritual calmed and relaxed her, slowly easing the tiredness from her body.

Jin Liwei only drank half a cup of the tea. He sat quietly beside his Xiulan, admiring her with intense eyes.

Finally, she finished two cups and stood up. He stood up as well.

Thanks to the tea, she was calm when she looked at him straight in the eyes. "Let's go."

She started to walk, intending for him to follow her, but he took her hand and held it, clasping their hands together. She looked at their held hands and subconsciously smiled, as they walked together.

Inside the bedroom.

"You can use the bathroom first. I'll go after you," she said and tried to pull her hand from him but failed.

"Kiss me first."

"You..." She sighed and hesitated before pulling him down by the shoulder with her other hand and pressing her lips to his cheek. "Now go."

"En." He let her go, picked up his sports bag from the floor and headed to the connecting bathroom.

She watched until the bathroom door closed behind him. Her lips lifted into a soft smile. Then she walked to her study desk and turned on her laptop computer.

Her smile brightened when she saw that the yellow roses were now sitting on a vase beside the red roses by the corner. She admired the flowers for a few moments before pulling all her attention to the laptop in front of her.

When Jin Liwei came out of the bathroom, he saw his baby girl focused in front of her laptop. He rubbed his dripping hair with a towel as he walked to her. He had no shirt on, exposing his lean and well-defined muscles, only wearing plaid pyjama pants hanging loosely around his hips.

He stood behind her and looked at what she was doing. It looked like she was writing some sort of computer code. He didn't really understand the string of characters on the screen. What he found impressive, however, was the speed of her typing. Her wrists remained steady as her fingers flew in a blur over the keyboard, making no sound as they pressed the keys.
