Chapter 751 - I’ll Crush Them All
Iris rubbed her hand on her flat stomach on instinct. She never really thought that this body she had now was that weak and fragile. But when she thought about it, her brother had a point in saying that.
Yes, this body suffered a lot of health problems especially when she just woke up from that one-year coma and discovered that she had been reborn as a completely different person. It took a few months for her to recover that time. There was also the time when she fell into another coma after meeting her Big Brother Nikolai as Lu Zihao for the first time and being overwhelmed by the shock. Next was when she was dealing with the original’s remnant, she almost lost total control of this body. And most recently, the bomb incident caused her some serious injuries that left scars on her shoulder.
However, all of these didn’t deter her from believing that she was capable of carrying Jin Liwei’s babies to full term and giving birth to them. This body was healthy enough to do that. Now that she had accepted the fact that she was going to become a mother to her own biological children, the excitement was trumping any fear that she had before.
She thought for a few moments about how to respond to her brother. As for Lu Zihao, he waited for her to gather her thoughts and just sat there in silence, letting her digest everything he told her.
"I’m sure that there are many women in the world who are far weaker than me physically but still successfully gave birth and they’re doing just fine," she finally said. "I’ll search it up, gather the appropriate data, and show them to you, if you don’t believe me."
He sighed. "That’s not the point I want you to focus on, Evelinka."
She avoided his gaze and continued rubbing her abdomen.
He rested his forearms on his thighs and leaned forward. Although she wasn’t meeting his gaze, he still maintained his serious gaze on her. "I know that you want to avoid anything that has to do with our past lives. I understand why you’re like this. I really do, believe me. In fact, I want you to have the happiness and freedom that you thought you never had in our past lives in this new life of yours. You’re my baby sister. I always want the best for you."
Finally, she looked at him. There was a small smile on her face, indicating that his words touched her.
"It makes me happy seeing you happy like this," he continued saying. "Even though I disapprove some of your decisions and think that you often act too liberated for my taste especially when it comes to your relationship with your man, at the end of the day, your brother only wants to see you living your life to the fullest peacefully and safely. The keywords are ’peacefully’ and ’safely’."
"I know, Big Brother," she said in a soft voice.
He nodded. "By advising you to retrain your combat skills, especially your specialties Systema and shooting, I don’t mean for you to relive the harsh training we experienced in our past lives. All I’m asking you is to strengthen your body, not in the way you’re currently maintaining your figure as a celebrity. All it does is make you look good on the outside but does absolutely nothing on the inside.
"We may not be who we were in our past lives anymore, and it may look like we’re living peaceful lives right now, but danger is everywhere, Evelinka. It may not be in the same form as we faced as members of the Vetrovs, but it’s still there, waiting for an opportunity to strike when we least expect it. Never grow complacent."
All of his words made sense to her and that alone annoyed her. She stood up and started pacing back and forth to calm down.

"Remember the bomb incident. It was targeted towards you. If you were any less lucky that day, you would’ve died for the second time." He paused and said, "Sit down, Evelinka. Don’t tire yourself out."
She threw him a surly look but still grudgingly obeyed and plopped back down on the couch.
Satisfied that she listened to him, he resumed his lecture. "Also remember who your man is."
"Of course I remember who he is," she said, huffing. This conversation was starting to wear down on her. "He’ll be my lawful husband in less than a month. So of course I know who I’m marrying!"
He ignored her bad temper and her last two sentences. "Jin Liwei might have a ’normal’ background compared to who we were in our past lives, but he’s still the current head of the biggest multinational company in this country. He’s a billionaire, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world. It might not look like it, but there are plenty of people targeting him. He has enemies, too. I hope you know that."
"Of course I know!" She was now very annoyed. At him, at their conversation, and at her tendency to get annoyed quickly these days. "But they’re only a bunch of envious lowlifes who have nothing better to do than try pulling down my man from his top position. As if I’ll let them do that. They can try, but I’ll destroy them before they could!"
"Good that you know." Now, it was him who stood up and started roaming around the room, touching this and that, trying to distract her with his movements. He didn’t want to upset her especially since she was pregnant. But it was because she was pregnant that he needed to have this important talk with her. "Now that you’re to become Jin Liwei’s wife and the mother of his children, his enemies will also start targeting you."
"I’ll deal with them," she snarled. "They’re just ants. I’ll crush them all!"
Lu Zihao half-sat on the edge of the table and looked a little amused at her fierceness. "I’m sure you will. But remember that even a bite from a single ant will still hurt."
