His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1504  Too Much Sweetness

Iris replied, "Even if I help you, but if you don't work hard, you still won't achieve anything in life. It's because of your family's work ethics and commendable values that you are all becoming more and more successful together. Linda has great business acumen. That's why I chose her to lead Orchidia Philippines. I also know that Auntie Reina and Uncle Domingo will help guide her in the right direction."

"Yes, my second elder sister is feeling very motivated right now, I heard," Clover said. "My eldest sister also wants to help with Orchidia Philippines, but my brother-in-law is also busy setting up his own business. So she's helping out her husband instead."

This time, Jin Liwei joined the conversation. "Paul has good leadership qualities. It's a shame for him to continue working for another company as a real estate agent when he can earn so much more by himself."

Clover nodded. "Yes. That's what my eldest sister said. That my brother-in-law didn't dare to set up his own company before due to a lack of capital and also because of all the risks. But thanks to sir boss, he's now able to build his own construction and development company."

Iris turned to her husband and asked, "How much stake do you own in Paul's company again?"

"Jin Corporation owns 10% and our family's LX Holdings owns 30%," he said. "I decided to include Jin Corporation in the equation because it can give material assistance and even manpower to Paul especially when he's just starting out."

"Marjorie is also business-minded," Iris commented. "I'm sure that she'll do well in helping her husband in their new company."

Clover agreed while helping wipe sauce from Little Mochi's mouth. "But my sister isn't helping out her husband full-time. She actually prefers to become a stay-at-home mom."

"That's fine, too." Iris held a small glass of water for Little Matcha to drink. "Not everyone finds fulfillment in having a career. To others, focusing on just the family and raising children makes them happier. I still respect that. Now that I'm a mother, I understand the need for other mothers to constantly be with their children. It's just that I'm the type of person who needs to have my own career to feel complete. Fortunately, I have a husband who supports me in my choice."

Jin Liwei's eyes softened.

"Ah! Did I just get bitten by ants? Where did they come from? Oh, right! From the sweetness!"

Iris chuckled at Clover's dramatic quip. "You're just like your brother, Dom. Oh. Speaking of Dom, let's order some soup to take home for him. I wonder if his stomach ache is gone now."

Clover snorted. "That's what he gets for eating too many escargots for breakfast! He didn't leave enough for me! Hmph! Our mother always says that he must have been a starving ghost before he reincarnated into her only son."

"Mama!" Little Mochi interrupted their conversation.

"What is it, baby?" Iris asked her son.

Little Mochi pointed at a bright red macaron on the dessert plate.

"Okay, here you go." She gave him one.

Little Mochi gave Iris a wet kiss on the cheek as thanks.

"Jin Haoyu, you can only eat one macaron," Jin Liwei said.

"Yah yah, Dada!" Little Mochi grinned at him and deliberately blinked his eyes, trying to use his cuteness to melt his strict father's heart.

It didn't work.

"I said just one, so you can only eat one," Jin Liwei repeated.

Little Mochi pouted but his attention was soon diverted by the macaron's sweet taste. He ignored his father and began enjoying his single macaron. Maybe he could ask his Auntie Clover to sneak him another piece later behind his father's back.

Little Matcha pulled Iris' sleeve next and pointed at an apple slice. "Mama."

Of course, Iris gave him one. Like his brother, Little Matcha gave his mother a kiss as a thanks. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This time, Jin Liwei didn't say anything about limiting his son's food intake. His son could eat an entire apple, and not just a single slice, if he wanted.

Iris tore a small piece of a green macaron and offered it to her younger twin son. "Want this?"

Little Matcha hesitated before nodding.

She fed her son the small macaron piece. "Yummy?"

Little Matcha nodded, his eyes crinkling while he smiled.

"More?" she asked.

This time, he shook his head and continued nibbling on the apple slice instead.

Iris couldn't help but sigh while murmuring, "Little Matcha doesn't like eating sweets that much. Exactly just like you."

Jin Liwei smiled. "He might look and act like me, but he also inherited a lot from you. He sleeps deeply like you. He also tilts his head to the side like you sometimes especially when he's focused on something. He also got his generosity from you. All our children's best qualities, they got it from you."

Before Iris could respond, Clover grabbed her chest and pretended to faint slowly. "Ah, help me! I'm dying from too much sweetness! Where is my big bro when I need him?! I need him to give me life support because I'm drowning in the sea of other people's love!"

"Yah yah yah!" Little Mochi clapped his hands and laughed at his Auntie Clover's antics.

Little Matcha, on the other hand, was wholly focused on nibbling his apple slice. He had already seen similar scenes with his Uncle Dom. It wasn't anything new. He was more interested in watching new things like Uncle Dom and Auntie Clover's playfight this morning. If their playfighting happened too often, then he would lose interest again.

Everyone finished eating lunch and left the restaurant. Clover returned to Liberté to continue overseeing the preparations for the launch party.

Jin Liwei brought his family to tour around Paris. Only two bodyguards remained by their sides all the time while the others spread themselves around them to make it less obvious.

The family avoided crowded places and the obvious tourist traps, focusing instead on spending quality time together.

By the end of their afternoon trip, the bodyguards were carrying many shopping bags.

The twins were already asleep when Iris and Jin Liwei returned to their Paris residence.
