His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 465 - Undercurrents

The next morning, everyone headed to the kitchen after waking up and making themselves presentable. They arrived at different times, so some were already eating while the others were just arriving or hadn’t arrived yet.

Lu Zihao’s subordinates patrolled the property with Jin Liwei’s security team for the entire night. They worked in shifts. It was interesting to note that they would make themselves scarce whenever Iris was around, so she personally never saw the full extent of their patrolling. Of course, Ketchup monitored everything in the property but since her mommy told her not to intervene, she didn’t report about the patrolling situation anymore.

Iris only saw a couple of subordinates who always followed Lu Zihao around. She thought that they were protecting him, not knowing that their main mission was actually to guard her. Lu Zihao also didn’t make it obvious by always accompanying her. Thus, it appeared as if the subordinates were following him and not Iris.

Jin Liwei, who was observing everything, had an idea of what his Fifth Brother was doing. He also wanted his baby girl safe and protected all the time, but thought that it was better to be upfront to her about what they were doing. He didn’t approve of this sneaky tactic behind her back. Sure, it was for her own good, but he didn’t feel comfortable hiding something like this from her. He believed that it was better to face her wrath with the truth and try to persuade her to understand their reasons, rather than to face her wrath when she discovered what they were doing without her knowledge.

And he knew that she would eventually discover it. After all, there was Ketchup who was monitoring everything in the property 24/7. If his baby girl asked their third kitty baby, Ketchup would instantly report everything to her.

His baby girl might have a strong stubborn streak, but she wasn’t unreasonable. She would listen to explanations and if they made sense, she would adjust her own viewpoint accordingly. Jin Liwei believed that she had a right to know that Lu Zihao brought this much people mainly for her security.

There were so many questions Jin Liwei wanted to ask and many things he wanted to discuss with his Fifth Brother but hadn’t had the chance yet. He wanted to talk to him with just the two of them, especially since what they were going to discuss were potentially very sensitive and dangerous in nature.

Back to the present, everyone finally arrived at the kitchen. They sat around the massive granite countertop and ate breakfast.

Little Jun was delighted to see his "Anko Han" and insisted that he wanted to sit beside him. Jiang Ying Yue could only sigh and brought herself and her son to sit beside Lin Yehan.

Lin Yehan nodded at the mother and son, a gentle expression on his face as always. He also interacted with Little Jun who was babbling about many things. Although Lin Yehan didn’t understand the majority of what the child was telling him, he didn’t mind. He also considered the cats, Ice Cream and Popcorn, as his niece and nephew respectively. He couldn’t understand their meows either, but he didn’t mind because they were his Third Brother’s kids. Since the boy and the cats were important to his Third Brother,Lin Yehan automatically treated Little Jun as family.

In another spot, Long Jinjing sat across Lu Zihao. She was calmer now and didn’t feel as shy compared to yesterday. She didn’t really talk directly to him. Conversation was lively on the breakfast table, but Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao talked to the others, not to each other.

She tried to act as nonchalant as he was to her. However, she found that her eyes would subconsciously stray to him. About half of the time, she discovered that he was also looking at her. Their eyes would meet. She would turn crimson, while he would just slightly raise an eyebrow. The corner of his mouth would also curve upward into a faint devilish smile.

The undercurrents between these two pairs were noticed by everyone else on the breakfast table. Well, not everyone. Iris was still dense sometimes. She happily ate breakfast while acting lovey-dovey to her own darling, not detecting anything unusual from the cheerful atmosphere around her.

As for the others, even though they noticed, nobody openly remarked about it. They didn’t think that teasing each other about it was appropriate, especially since most of them just met last night. The triplets only snickered among themselves, while Chen Fei just shrugged. As long as her best friend wasn’t hurt or in danger, Chen Fei would have no problems about it.

Then Clover cried out all of a sudden, interrupting everyone from their meals and conversations.

"Ah! It’s time! Our secret weapon should be up by now!" she announced with much excitement.

The eyes of everyone in the girl squad all lit up. Jin Liwei also seemed to know what was going on. His brothers, however, were confused.

Iris grabbed her phone and texted an instruction to Ketchup. Almost immediately, the huge TV on the far wall flickered to life. It didn’t show a TV program, however. Instead, it showed the officialwebsite of Orchidia Beauty. On the home page, an eye-catching video was featured.

Then it started playing.

At the same time on the internet, a certain sponsored ad caught the attention of many netizens in the country. Whether they were watching videos, scrolling through their social media pages, or simply surfing the web, they couldn’t ignore this particular ad like the other annoying ones bombarding them all the time.

For those on social media or surfing the web, they only saw a static ad. It should be nothing special, especially since a lot of them didn’t recognize the company. However, they were attracted by the two featured models—a male and a female. The two looked very familiar. The netizens clicked on the ad so fast before they could even think about it. They were led to the company’s official website.

For those watching online videos, it appeared during the ad break. Usually, they would skip the annoying ads but this time, they ended up watching the entire commercial.

Everyone freaked out while watching the video commercial. They couldn’t believe it.

"What the hell is this?! Am I dreaming?! Iris Long and Jin Chonglin are together in one commercial?!"
