Chapter 1484 Shower From h.e.l.l
Jin Liwei was the first to recover. He carried his exhausted wife to the shower. The hot water rained down on them.
He gritted his teeth but endured beyond his limits. It felt like the fires of h.e.l.l were burning him alive, but he didn"t voice out any complaints because this was the water temperature his wife liked the best.
Before Iris became pregnant, she already loved taking hot showers. Jin Liwei could still bear to join her back then. But after she gave birth to their twin sons, the temperature she preferred for her showers increased to inhuman levels.
At first, he even felt worried that she would scald herself. But no, she told him that she would freeze instead if she showered even one degree lower than her preferred boiling hot shower.
He could only accept this new reality in the end. This was why he preferred to make love with her before or after taking a shower (separately). Tonight, however, he took the initiative to join her in the shower to help her clean up because she was too exhausted. He felt sorry for her.
As a result, he once again had to suffer this shower from h.e.l.l.
It was fine! This was nothing! His love for his wife burned hotter than this!
He deluded himself into thinking this way.
After helping his wife wash and cleaning himself up quickly, he finally escaped from the torturous shower from h.e.l.l. Then he caught her snickering at him.
"Am I funny?" he asked in a dangerous tone, yet his eyes glinted with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Iris stood on her tiptoes and hugged his neck. Both of them were still sopping wet.
"I know you hate my hot showers," she said, giving him a light peck on the lips. "You don"t have to join me next time. I can wash by myself. Be careful. The doctor says that too-hot showers might negatively affect a male"s sperm production."
He hugged her waist. "It"s fine. We already have the twins."
She chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "Not just your sperm production. It might also negatively affect your testosterone production. Are you sure that it"s fine?"
His expression changed.
She continued to tease him. "What if…you can"t do it anymore?"
His hands tightened around her waist, pulling her closer. "You think I won"t be able to do it anymore, hm?"
Her fingers trailed along his chest, drawing circles on it. His muscles rippled and flexed. In no time, his little brother stood up straight and proud again.
He caught her hand and wrapped it around his hard length. "I"ll show you whether I can still do it or not."
Her laughter filled the bathroom before the sounds changed into something only adults were allowed to hear.
Good thing that the bathroom was soundproof and that their twins were now able to sleep through the night.

While recording songs for her new alb.u.m with her mentor, Enrique Valdez, Iris was also filming music videos for the completed songs at the same time.
Everything was so hectic.
She loved it.
Of course, she didn"t neglect her businesses either. She still completed the work needed for each of her companies plus her tasks at Long Industries. It was just that her time going to the companies in person was reduced to about once or twice a week. Nevertheless, she was still able to complete everything on time despite her extremely busy schedule.
Almost everyone knew that she was busy recording her new collab alb.u.m with the legendary hitmaker, Enrique Valdez. But the contents of the alb.u.m remained a big mystery.
The media tried hard to bribe the musicians and staff working on the alb.u.m, but all of them were loyal. Not a single one of them was tempted. Even when the price of the bribe was increased, n.o.body spilled anything. The media could only lament that these people signed a super-strict NDA with a frightening penalty.
They weren"t too far off the mark.
Everyone chosen to work on the project indeed signed a super-strict NDA with a frightening penalty, but this was just a minor reason why n.o.body spilled anything about the new alb.u.m.
The truth was that Iris, JJ, and Enrique Valdez promised everyone that if they successfully kept the details of the new alb.u.m a secret, the three would reward everyone with a handsome bonus. It didn"t matter if the alb.u.m did well or not, the three would still fulfill their promise.
In addition, the staff especially the employees were looking forward to the prestige of having worked with the legendary hitmaker himself, Enrique Valdez.
n.o.body wanted to ruin this chance for everyone else.
What if Enrique Valdez became so disappointed, or worse, disgusted by someone"s loose tongue? What if he walked out of the long-awaited project and vowed never to work with their country"s musicians ever again?
It wouldn"t only disgrace them as musicians, but it would also disgrace their country"s music industry. Other foreign artists might think that the country"s musicians had no integrity to even keep their promises. This wasn"t something that they wanted to ever happen.
Hence, everyone working on the project kept their mouths shut.
Those people who were trying to bribe them had no vision at all.
Why would they be tempted by momentary gains when they could enjoy bigger rewards in the future?
Iris, JJ, and Enrique Valdez observed their team members doing their best to accomplish their a.s.signed tasks.
Even their project had designated cleaners to clean the studio after every recording session to prevent any theft from happening. There were also designated security guards patrolling the area around the studio.
They might seem paranoid but only after a few days, they really caught someone sneaking and trying to steal some samples from the studio. The night security guards immediately caught the thief after receiving an anonymous tip.
n.o.body knew that it was Ketchup who detected the unusual movements of the new building maintenance worker.
Ketchup had long hijacked the CCTV system of JJ"s record company. As long as her beloved mommy"s interests were involved, Ketchup would always make sure to protect them to the best of her abilities.
It turned out that thief was sent by one of JJ"s rival producers.
