After the meal, Jiang Ying Yue took Little Jun to one of the spare bedrooms for a nap. Dom and one of the maids headed to the cat room to feed and play with Ice Cream and Popcorn. Yi Mei and the cook began planning the sumptuous dinner for later to celebrate the appointment of Iris and Jin Liwei as Little Jun’s godparents.
Iris and Jin Liwei headed to the living area to relax and cuddle on the couch while watching random shows on TV. Iris wanted to rest before returning to her music studio to continue working on the film score. She already finished composing more than half of the planned music pieces and even recorded some of them with her symphony orchestra and four-piece band.
The overall atmosphere of most of the pieces were dark, depressing, and foreboding. Iris would always feel emotionally drained whenever she finished working on them. Only the last pieces meant for the film’s ending had brighter, more hopeful yet bittersweet tone.
For now, she needed some time to recharge. She felt very motivated to finish the film score as soon as possible without rushing it. After all, quality was her utmost priority. She almost couldn’t wait for the moment to hear her music used on a film.
A little sleepy, she yawned. She rested her head on Jin Liwei’s shoulder. She felt him kiss her forehead, making her smile. She was about to take a nap when Jin Liwei started talking.
“Baby.”
“Hm?”
“Why did you instruct everyone to keep feeding me fruits every day?”
“Oh, that.” She shifted her head so that she was looking at his face. “It’s to improve the taste of your semen. It tastes bad, you know. I read from various sources that certain foods, especially fruits, can improve the taste. I want to know if it’s really true, that’s why I’m experimenting on you.”
He couldn’t help it. This talk was arousing him. But his baby girl was exhausted right now. He took a few deep breaths to control himself.
“Mmn…yes.”
“Use me all you want then. This body of mine is all yours, baby.”
She giggled and then bit his neck, not too hard but not too light either.
He groaned. It hurt but he didn’t mind. She was just being playful with him again.
“You make it sound like I’m exploiting you,” she said. “You just need to eat the fruits. I’m the one who’s going to do the tasting anyway so don’t act like you’re being taken advantage of.”
He chuckled. “True.”
To be honest, he was feeling very excited about this experiment of hers. He was hoping that she would start with the actual investigation (a.k.a. the tasting) very soon. A certain something on the lower half of his body was also getting excited, slowly coming to life and straining against his pants. He recited the value of pi to calm down and to control the dangerous direction of his thoughts.
Iris burrowed deeper in Jin Liwei’s embrace, inhaling his familiar masculine scent. His breathing was slowly lulling her to sleep.
“Baby?”
“Hm? What?”
“Oh.” She lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him. “You want to go with me to the Long compound for dinner?”
“En. Your father already knows about our relationship but I still haven’t paid my respects to him as your boyfriend. We’re living together now. I think it’s only proper that I assure him that I’m serious with my intentions to his daughter.”
“Hmm. Alright. I’ll give him a call and coordinate a schedule.”
He gave her a quick kiss on the lips. “No rush. I know you’re busy. I was just telling you so that you’ll keep it in mind.”
“Okay.”
He was about to say something but hesitated.
“Hm?” She tilted her head to the side. “What is it?”
“After we meet with your father, I was thinking…”
“What?”
He didn’t mention his younger brother, Jin Chonglin. Although his baby girl already assured him that she felt nothing for his brother, he still felt a little jealous.
“Oh.” Iris was surprised.
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to,” he said hurriedly. “It’s just that I want them to meet the woman I love who is also the most important person in my life right now.”
Her heart skipped a beat and she felt warm inside. “Okay.”
“Really? You’ll meet them?” he asked.
She nodded.
He sighed in relief. “Great. I’ll introduce you to my grandmother and mother after we have dinner with your father.”
“Okay.” Then suddenly she began to feel nervous.
Noticing the change in her emotions, he pulled her closer to him and kissed the top of her head. “Don’t worry. You’re amazing. Just be yourself.”
She had the urge to investigate Jin Liwei’s grandmother and mother so that she would know what they were like before meeting them but quickly discarded the idea as soon as it entered her mind. Jin Liwei was her boyfriend. She felt that it would be rude and disrespectful to investigate his family members without his knowledge.
She was originally planning to take a nap but her earlier sleepiness was now gone. This feeling of nervousness was very unpleasant.
