Chapter 947 - Not Too Easy, Not Too Difficult

After carefully placing his wife on the bed, Jin Liwei instructed Ketchup and Bacon to power down their mom"s portable computer station. It was an impressive and complete computer set-up customized to fit in a single, large suitcase that could transform into a desk once unfolded. He knew that his wife had other such special suitcases in different sizes with built-in computer systems of varying performance levels.

Iris kept yawning but said that she didn"t want to sleep yet because her stomach was still full from the soup. Jin Liwei didn"t force her to sleep and instead chatted with her for a few minutes.

The couple bid their AI children good night. Ketchup and Bacon obeyed their dad"s instruction and turned off their mom"s portable computer station.

"Don"t be upset with the kids," Iris whispered while cuddling with Jin Liwei on the bed. "They didn"t mean to disturb our sleep. I"m glad that they alerted us because the hacker they battled is quite tough and skilled. They would"ve been in danger if they hadn"t called me for help."

"I understand, love. I"m not upset with the kids at all. In fact, I"m also very glad that you were able to rescue Ketchup and Bacon in time. I don"t want a repeat of what happened to Ketchup before when she almost got caught."

She sighed in relief.

Then he asked, "How was the opponent? Did you have some trouble dealing with him? Or was he too easy for you?"

She thought for a moment before answering. "He wasn"t too easy to deal with but neither was he too difficult for me. I had a couple of difficulties while battling him. The first one was defeating him quickly and aggressively while making sure to protect Ketchup and Bacon. I won"t allow any other hacker to harm even a single strand of our children"s data. Ensuring their safety will always be one of my top priorities.

"The second trouble I had involves my current lack of stamina and overall energy." She sighed again, this time from resignation. "The things that I could usually do are now severely limited because of my pregnant body."

Silence.

In a careful but neutral tone, Jin Liwei asked, "Do you regret becoming pregnant?"

She looked shocked at his question. "No! I don"t regret becoming pregnant with your babies." There was a panicked expression on her face as she sat up so that she could explain herself properly to him. "I may have some deep-seated fears and reservations about becoming a mother but that has nothing to do with regret! Liwei, I"m happy that I"m carrying your babies. Truly. Please believe me."

He caressed her face, a soft smile playing on his lips. "I believe you."

She dropped back on the bed again and released a big sigh of relief. "I know that it may sound contradictory but I really am happy to be pregnant with our twins. It"s just that…how do I say this? The state of my body while I"m pregnant is really not that fun."

It his turn to sigh now. "I know, love. And I"m sorry that you have to suffer so much because I got you pregnant."

She laid her head on his chest and took a deep inhale of his scent. "It"s fine. I can bear it."

"It"s because you"re a strong woman."

Her response was a smile. Then her eyes closed and she fell asleep in the next second.

"Good night, wife," he murmured, kissing her forehead and stroking her hair.

He held her close and looked at the wooden ceiling of their bedroom. When he was sure that his wife was in deep sleep, he called his AI son.

"Father, Bacon is here," the kid"s soft and polite voice immediately responded.

"Tell me everything that happened."

"Understood, Father."

Bacon began describing what happened in clear and concise words. Since Jin Liwei didn"t take part in the hacking battle and even left the bedroom to get some food for his wife, he didn"t know the specific details.

To summarize the events, Ketchup had been busy leading the Slippers Army on the web to publicly shame the matrons who badmouthed Wei Lan and Iris at an exclusive secret restaurant located at a five-star hotel. At the same time, she was also using her main hacker account named WhiteTigress to dig up some private information about the high society matrons.

Then another hacker attacked her all of a sudden. She fought against the opponent for a few minutes before discovering that he was tougher than she initially thought, so she sent a distress signal to her younger brother.

Bacon immediately dropped all his work at Shadow Winds to a.s.sist his older sister upon learning about her current situation. They worked together in battling the hacker. Bacon focused on attacking while Ketchup activated a powerful defence system and offered strategic support to her younger brother whenever he needed it.

They were doing well in the beginning and were able to go head-to-head against the opponent but the other hacker suddenly revved up and started to overwhelm the two siblings. Realizing that they were in trouble, Ketchup immediately sent an emergency alert to their parents.

Jin Liwei already remembered what happened at that point. He and his wife were actually awake during that time. She woke up to pee while her movements awakened him. In a sense, they were all lucky that she had been awake even if it was just by coincidence and was able to immediately go into action to rescue their AI children in time.

Iris was extremely difficult to wake up once in deep sleep. Being pregnant had made her more p.r.o.ne to waking up on her own because of discomfort but it still didn"t change the fact that she always slept deeply.

"And that"s what happened, Father," Bacon said, his bored tone never changing.

"You did well in immediately running to help your sister," Jin Liwei praised his AI son.

"Thank you, Father. It"s only normal. Big Sister Ketchup is Bacon"s sister and I want to protect our family."

"En."

Jin Liwei was pleased. Indeed, the kid was definitely his son.
