The Wife Is A Superstar 4

Chapter 755 - Devil

"Ruby Jane is pregnant now, Fifth Brother," Lisa said. "It's very easy for her to get upset over the littlest of things. I don't want anything or anyone to trigger her, including you."

"Heh~ Third Brother is talking as if you haven't made her upset since confirming that she's pregnant," Jiyong drawled. "Little Sister just told me that you two fought over her work schedule before I came over."

Lisa sighed and massaged his temples. "I only did what I thought is best for her and our babies. I don't want to risk her overexerting herself at work because she tends to do that. If nobody monitors her, she'll work herself until she collapses because she's just so passionate." A faint smile improved his weary face. "That's one of the things I love about her—the passion in everything she does."

Jiyong made a sound of agreement.

"But she needs to ease back on her work. I worry about her a lot because she has a tendency to faint and a history of falling into coma. Sometimes she's so healthy while at other times, she seems so...."

"Fragile," Jiyong filled in.

"En. If it were up to me alone, she would stop working and stay here at home where I know that she'll be safe and pampered for the entire duration of her pregnancy, our babies' birth, and the twins' first few months."

"Excellent idea."

The two men looked at each other. Then they chuckled because both of them were of the same mind regarding what they thought was best for Jennie. However, both also knew that she would never allow either of them to have full control of how she lived her life no matter how much she loved them.

"Her temper has become terrible," Jiyong commented after the short silence.

"Mood swings," Lisa muttered.

"That's what you get for getting her pregnant so soon."

Lisa threw a cold look at his fifth brother. "I don't regret getting the woman I love pregnant. On the contrary, I'm ecstatic. Our babies are not a mistake. Never. They're blessings."

Jiyong didn't reply. He wasn't even looking at Lisa. Instead, his gaze was directed at the bright and sunny scenery outside the window.

"Which brings me to the matter that I want to talk to you about," Lisa said.

"What is it?" Jiyong asked while peering at Lisa out of the corner of his eye.

Lisa rose from his seat and moved a little closer towards his fifth brother. He did so while running his fingers on top of the piano keys but not hard enough to press them and make a sound. He let his hand fall to his side as he continued walking and only stopped once he was a few feet away from Jiyong

"I noticed that Ruby Jane fears you, Fifth Brother," he said. "She was terrified that you'll get mad because she got pregnant out of wedlock. I told her not to worry, but she dreaded your arrival today. And yet she doesn't dare make excuses to delay seeing you. And it's not only limited to today's case either. I already long noticed some instances in the past when she would constantly worry about how you'll react. I did my best to brush it off because I know that your sibling bond is stronger than what she has with her own biological siblings, even with Jisoo who has now become one of her closest friends."

The atmosphere had long turned tense as soon as Lisa began this topic. Jiyong's full gaze was now on him. The look on his abyss-like eyes were intimidating but Lisa didn't back down.

"Why does my wife fear you, Fifth Brother? Tell me why. I want to understand but I just can't."

Jiyong continued to remain silent. Even Lisa had no idea what was going on inside his friend and brother's head. He couldn't help but frown because his old fifth brother from before the ski accident always wore his heart on his sleeve. What you see was what you get when it came to the Jiyong in the past. The Jiyong now, however, was the total opposite. There was no way of knowing his real thoughts and emotions just by looking at his expression.

"Ruby Jane is confident, independent, and strong-minded," Lisa continued speaking even though Jiyong still hadn't said anything yet. "She goes all out whenever she wants to achieve something. But why the hell is she afraid of you? I don't like that at all. The wife of Lisa Manoban shouldn't be so afraid of anyone or anything, much less you, our own brother."

Jiyong finally rose to his full height. At the same time, he stopped restraining his bloodlust, allowing it to flood out of him in suffocating waves.

Lisa was hit with the full brunt of his fifth brother's intense malevolent aura to the point that his heart and breathing stopped for a few seconds. Then adrenaline rushed through his veins and helped him recover his senses. Nevertheless, the back of his shirt had already become drenched in cold sweat in that short moment. He felt shocked at what happened. Then the anger came next.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" he demanded. His whole body was now poised to fight if needed. He felt that what his fifth brother did was an affront to their friendship. "Do you want to kill me?!"

There was not a shred of emotion on Jiyong's face, yet the aura he was emitting was enough to cause a weak man to piss his pants. Although Lisa was affected, he didn't back down. He wanted an explanation why his fifth brother was doing this!

"What if I say that I do want to kill you right now?" Jiyong spoke in a cold whisper, yet the words seemed to echo everywhere in the room.

In front of Lisa was no longer his fifth brother. It was the devil.
