"Little Sister Xiulan, don't forget that your body went through a lot to survive from that car crash when you were only eighteen," Long Jinjing reminded Iris. "Because of that evil woman Fan Luo, you almost died. It's already a miracle that you're still alive and well today and even pregnant with my niece or nephew. I don't think that your body is failing you. Maybe it's just dealing with any remaining sequelae from the injuries you sustained from that car crash."
Iris and Lu Zihao didn't refute Long Jinjing's claim, although both of them knew that the original Iris Long really died during that fatal car crash. However, it was indeed a miracle that another soul occupied the original's body and began living as the new Iris Long. Perhaps Long Jinjing might be right—that there were still some remaining sequelae in Iris' body that the doctors couldn't detect. This might be why the body couldn't keep keep pace with the many things that Iris, no, that Evelina wanted to do.
She could only nod at Long Jinjing to indicate her agreement, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore. Since both she and her older brother went through the same rebirth, there were many unique things about themselves that they couldn't share with anyone. At the moment, only Jin Liwei knew the truth about the siblings.
Iris looked at her older brother of the soul and older sister of her current flesh. "Are you two back together again?"
Lu Zihao also looked at Long Jinjing waiting for her to answer. He also wasn't sure about the woman's decision. Did she want to be together with him again or insist on leaving him after ensuring that he was fine?
Long Jinjing turned red but nodded. Iris raised an eyebrow and looked at her older brother.
Lu Zihao's neutral expression didn't change but he was actually relieved deep inside. He sat on the bed beside his woman and slung his arm over her shoulders, hooking it around her neck, and then pulling her to him before kissing her cheek in front of his sister.
"Ni-Zihao! My sister is here!" All of Long Jinjing's exposed skin became red. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to run away but his arm around her locked her in place.
Iris tilted her head to the side and continued observing the lovers in front of her. "It's okay, Big Sister. My Liwei does things to me that are more daring in front of others than what Big Brother is doing to you right now. It's just kissing the cheek. No need to be so shy."
"This is too much for me." Long Jinjing covered her face with both hands. It was obvious that she wasn't as shameless as her sister.
"Come here again for dinner later," Iris said instead to spare the overly shy woman any more embarrassment. "Call Grandpa Lu as well. I'm still in bed rest so I can't leave this room yet. Liwei should also be coming home any time now."
"Hm." Lu Zihao nodded before standing up, pulling the red-faced Long Jinjing with him. "I'll talk to your husband when he comes back. You rest here and stop worrying about things that you can't control."
Iris nodded.
The two were about to leave when Iris asked, "Big Sister, are you going to stay here with Big Brother?"
Long Jinjing paused and seriously thought about it. "I…I need to think about it first."
"Stay with me tonight," Lu Zihao said, looking at her straight in the eyes.
She nodded without hesitation. "Of course. But for tomorrow night and the next ones after that, I, uhm…let me think about it first."
He grunted.
Iris continued watching the couple until they left the master bedroom.
"Mommy, what are you thinking about? Meow~"
She glanced at the tablet propped on her bedside table. "I'm thinking that your Uncle Zihao might be in love with your Auntie Jinjing."
A black cat appeared beside the white cat.
"Uncle Zihao is always kissing Aunt Jinjing," Bacon said in his usual bored tone while starting to groom his fluffy, black fur. "If Uncle Zihao is not in love with Aunt Jinjing while doing all that, then he's a scumbag who doesn't know how to treasure his woman like Father treasures Mother. Scumbags are not classy."
Iris was a little speechless at what her AI son said.
"Dramatic gasp! Really? Uncle Haohao is a scumbag? Meow?"
The door opened and Jin Liwei asked, "Who's a scumbag?"
"Uncle Haohao is a scumbag! Daddy, welcome home! Love ya lots. Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Meow~"
Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow but still acknowledged his AI daughter's greeting. "En, I'm home."
Then he went straight for his wife on the bed and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. She nibbled on his lower lip before letting go. He sat beside her.
"Why is your brother a scumbag?"
It was Ketchup who replied, "Bacon says that if Uncle Haohao is not in love with Auntie Jinjing but still keeps on kissing her, then he's a scumbag who doesn't know how to treasure his woman like Daddy treasures Mommy! Meow~"
Bacon's tail swished from side to side. "That kind of scumbag behaviour is not classy."
"En," Jin Liwei agreed.
Iris pursed her lips. "Alright, let's not talk about your uncle and auntie anymore. It's their business. They can figure it all out on their own. Bacon, make sure to greet your uncle later when your Aunt Jinjing isn't with him."
"Understood, Mother."
"Ketchup wants to greet Uncle Haohao too, Mommy! Meow~"
"Alright. You go with your brother."
"Yay yay! Ketchup missed Uncle Haohao soooo much even if he's a scumbag! Meow~"
Jin Liwei laughed. Iris hit his shoulder. He laughed harder.
Then he caressed her cheek. "Happy that your brother is awake now?"
She nodded. "I'm glad that he's fine. I hope that whatever made him collapse, he was able to overcome it once and for all."
"En. He's your brother. If you can overcome it, I'm sure that he can too."
She pressed herself closer to him, inhaling his scent. "I hope so. I just want him to live a happy life this second time around like I am with you."
He didn't reply, not wanting to burst her hopes. He knew that his brother-in-law's focus was on revenge and not on living a happy life like her.
