His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Ketchup's utter shock at her dad's rejection of her request reverberated in the bedroom in the total silence that followed after his firm no. It took her exactly ten seconds before she was able to speak again. Fortunately she had a robust system that was periodically improved by her mom in addition to her powerful self-learning function that prevented her emotions from short-circuiting herself. 

"Why, Daddy? Meowuwuwu!"

Jin Liwei's mouth twitched but he forced himself to be strict to his overdramatic AI daughter. "I'm somewhat acquainted to the owner because he gifted me with a platinum membership some years ago which is the highest level in his exclusive restaurant. But I never used it nor did I ever visit his place because I don't like him. He's an arrogant bastard—I mean, he's an arrogant man. Ketchup, pretend that I didn't say that bad word."

Ketchup snickered. "Okie dokie, Daddy! Ehehehe. Meow~"

"As I was saying, that man is arrogant and always trying to fawn over people he believes will elevate his status and reputation. He always made me uncomfortable so I didn't bother interacting with him. In fact, I already forgot about that man until you reminded me of him tonight. The reason I rejected your request is not because I don't want to help you—I do—but I simply don't want to give a slimy person like him an opportunity to make me owe him a favour."

"Oh! Ketchup understands, Daddy! Yes, we shouldn't interact with poopoo-heads who'll take advantage of our happy family! It's fine, Daddy. Ketchup will just explain to my waiter comrade that the cute and still a little mighty me can't help save his job this time if he gets fired. Meow…"

Jin Liwei froze when his wife shifted positions to lay on her other side. When he was sure that she was in deep sleep again, he gently extricated himself from her and pressed a soft kiss on her cheek before leaving the bed. He continued his conversation with Ketchup outside the bedroom in the suite's living area to make sure that he wouldn't disturb his wife. 

"I only said that I'm not willing to talk to the owner of the exclusive restaurant," he told his AI daughter. "I didn't say that I'm not going to help your comrade."

"Oh oh oh! Daddy wants to help Ketchup's comrade? How? Meow!"

"Tell your comrade that it's better to quit his job at the exclusive restaurant instead of waiting on pins and needles to get fired. Jin Corporation has several subsidiary companies in the hospitality industry. I also personally invest in many high-class hotels and restaurants around the world so recommending a person to work at any of them should be a simple matter. They might not be exclusive to only a few VIPs but they should have more opportunities for career improvement, not only in this country but also abroad. And anytime that he's able to get promoted, the pay and benefits will surely increase as well."

"Oh wow, Daddy! That's super-duper awesome! You're the bestest daddy in the whole wide world forever and ever! Meow~"

He chuckled, not the least bit bothered that his AI daughter was fawning over him when he was just complaining about the fawning attitude of the exclusive restaurant owner. Which father wouldn't want his own daughter to fawn over him? A heartless one! And he, Jin Liwei, was not a heartless father! He loved all of his children, especially since their mother was the woman he loved the most in the world.

"Give your comrade Xu Tian's number," he instructed. 

"Which number, Daddy? Tiantian has more than one. Meow~"

He paused before saying, "His private mobile. That should give your comrade an instant reply from Xu Tian. No harm in giving that number since your comrade is getting a personal recommendation from me. Anyone who's loyal to your mom deserves kindness from our family."

"That's right, egg white! Oh, Ketchup can't wait to tell my comrade about Daddy's super-duper special work offer! He'll be excited for sure! Meow~"

Then he remembered something. "Don't tell him that the offer came from Jin Liwei or he might make the connection that I'm your father. On paper, your mom and I are still childless. People might start rumours saying that I had a lovechild before getting together with your mom or other crazy gossip. You know that your mom is a celebrity and the public loves making things up about her. Also remember that you and your younger brother are both a special existence. If other people were to know about the two of you, their greed would awaken and they would want to snatch you away from me and your mom."

"What?! Noooooooo! The cute and still a little mighty Ketchup doesn't want to be snatched away by evil people! I'm scared, Daddy! Meowuwuwuwu!"

"Don't be scared. Your mom and I won't let anyone snatch you and Bacon or any of your siblings from us. I just want you to remember to always be careful."

"Okay, Daddy. We kitty babies will always be careful. Meow…."

The father and AI daughter continued to chat about other things. Jin Liwei didn't feel sleepy anymore. Seeing his wife battling against another hacker to protect their children even though she had to deal with difficult pregnancy symptoms made him feel restless. He needed to increase his strength, power, and influence and also expand his avenues of resources in order to protect their family better. 

His wife was a very capable woman but he also needed to be a firm and indestructible pillar of support for her all the time for the rest of their lives.

She was like Bacon, the main offence who had the extreme firepower to annihilate their enemies, while he was like Ketchup, the one who could offer reliable defence and support systems.

He would forever honour his wedding vow to her, and in this case, the part when he promised to help her bully back those foolish enough to bully her and also to provide her with a rocket booster and unlimited fuel supply if she wanted to reach higher than ever.
