Chapter 249 - Fall In Love All Over Again
Zürich, Switzerland.
After what felt like forever, Jin Liwei finally arrived at Grandpa Lu’s mansion villa where a helicopter was waiting for him. The property was beautiful and the view stunning, but he didn’t notice any of it at all.
He didn’t even accept the caretaker’s invitation to go inside the mansion for some refreshments because he felt too excited and impatient. He couldn’t wait to see his baby girl again! His mind was only filled with thoughts of her.
Exhaustion made his body feel heavy and sluggish. His bloodshot eyes were dry and even painful. He also felt a nagging headache in his temples. He didn’t sleep at all during the twelve-hour flight.
Despite all of these, happiness and anticipation filled his heart. He wished he could just teleport to Cross Academy, so that he could see, hug and kiss his baby girl sooner.
The helicopter flight took more than an hour. Jin Liwei forced himself to be patient. He was indifferent to the breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps at first, but when the academy’s sprawling fortress came into view, he couldn’t help but gasp at its sheer majesty.
He already had some idea of what to expect, but seeing the unbelievable expanse of Cross Academy with his own eyes was still very shocking. It felt like he was entering another world isolated from the regular outside world he came from. And in a sense, he was. He might as well be an alien visiting a new mysterious planet.
"So this is Cross Academy," he murmured.
The school for geniuses. This was where Grandpa Lu and his own grandfather studied, known as the business genius duo, before building what was now the number one company in their country, Jin Corporation.
And now his baby girl was enrolled in such a legendary academy. It only really hit him now that she was a GENIUS recognized by other geniuses.
He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, sighing. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile. Instead of feeling insecure, he felt proud of her.
Finally, the helicopter landed. A guide sent by Grandpa Lu welcomed him at the helipad. They rode a minibus to Grandpa Lu’s district house.
Compared to his grand mansion villa in Zürich, Grandpa Lu’s house in the campus was a quaint two-storey chalet. It was very modest, unlike his other luxurious properties all around the world.
The guide led him inside the house without knocking. The front door was unlocked. Immediately after entering, they heard the beautiful, flowing piano melody of Fauré’s "Pavane" in F-sharp minor, Op. 5.
Jin Liwei’s heart skipped. He immediately knew that it was his baby girl playing.
"Liwei my boy! There you are! I’ve been waiting for—hey!"
It was as if a trail appeared in Jin Liwei’s mind, lighting up his way towards his baby girl. Everything and everyone else disappeared. He couldn’t hear anything besides the piano melody. It spellbound him like a siren luring him to a point of no return.
He didn’t even notice Grandpa Lu who was now scowling at him, as he rushed past the grumpy old man.
"Hmph! Look at the kids these days! Is it that difficult to greet your elders first? I want to know!" Grandpa Lu complained at the young man he sent to fetch Jin Liwei.
The young man only smiled, not saying anything. He also tried making conversation with Jin Liwei during their trip from the helipad to the elder’s house, but Jin Liwei was too distracted to respond to him.
While Grandpa Lu continued to grumble, Jin Liwei finally saw his baby girl playing the piano near the fireplace in front of the window. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her.
The sunlight shining through the window behind her looked like a divine halo, and she was the beautiful angel playing a heavenly melody. He was already in love with her but seeing her at the moment, he fell in love with her all over again.
For him, she was the most beautiful woman in the universe.
He was so struck by his overwhelming love for her that he just stood there like an idiot with open mouth and eyes filled with awe.
As the final notes drifted to a stop, Iris’ hands floated over the piano keys for a few moments before she finally turned to look at him.
When their eyes met, it was as if electricity zapped both of them. They ran, practically flying to each other.
Iris leaped into his waiting arms, and he caught her. Her legs wrapped around his waist. Then she grabbed his head for a hungry kiss. Their mouths smashed together, fusing, opening to devour and to be devoured.
Their moans only fueled their feelings and desire, intensifying an already scorching kiss. They didn’t care anymore if they couldn’t breathe, as long as they got their fill of each other. No words were needed for now. They wanted to convey how much they missed each other through the kiss.
"Oy oy! You know that this is my house, right?" Grandpa Lu’s voice boomed, interrupting their fiery kiss. "Although I want to have great-grandbabies as soon as possible, it doesn’t mean that I want to see you making them in front of me! Liwei, you spermy-headed rascal! How dare you ignore and not greet your grandpa! Don’t you know the strings I pulled just so you can enter the academy on such short notice?! When did you become so ungrateful? I want to know! Hmph!"
Iris was the first one to regain her senses. Her neck and face turned crimson after hearing Grandpa Lu’s words.
"Liwei..." She tapped his back, trying to get his attention.
Jin Liwei’s eyes were still trained at her luscious lips. He looked like he still wanted to kiss her. Well, she also wanted to kiss him but Grandpa Lu deserved respect from the two of them. He had done so much for them.
"Liwei! Darling, put me down!"
"Hm?" Finally, Jin Liwei’s desire-filled eyes cleared a bit. He blinked several times, looking confused as to what was happening in his surroundings.
"Hai! This is what happens when sperm fills a man’s brain! He can’t even think properly anymore!" Grandpa Lu continued to complain. "Hmph! Fine! This old man won’t interrupt you young lusty kids anymore! But if you really want to make babies, go upstairs and do it in a room! Hmph!"
Iris gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, Grand—"
"Hello, Grandpa Lu. Thank you very much for everything. You’re the best," Jin Liwei told Grandpa Lu in a hurry, and then continued to carry Iris as he headed upstairs into one of the guest bedrooms.
"Hmph! Don’t take too long! It’s almost lunch time!"
Iris hid her burning face against Jin Liwei’s neck. But despite her embarrassment, excitement and desire roared to life within her. She started sucking his neck, leaving her marks on his skin.
"Mine," she whispered.
Jin Liwei groaned and then replied in a husky voice. "Always."
He caught her lips once again. He reluctantly stopped kissing her when they reached the second floor. He opened a door in random, but it turned out to be a bathroom. He tried another one. Success! It looked like an unoccupied bedroom. They entered and closed the door, once again kissing each other hungrily.
He walked to the bed and they fell down together, her on her back and him on top of her. The desperate kiss slowed into a sensual yet gentle one. They opened their eyes and just gazed at each other, pressing their lips together every few seconds.
"I missed you so much, baby," he told her, stroking her face.
"I missed you, too."
They continued gazing at each other’s eyes.
"Thank you," he said.
Her head tilted to the side. "For what?"
"For letting me see you. For staying with me. I know you said that you’re coming back, but I was still afraid that you’ll hate me and leave me."
"Oh Liwei."
He laid the side of his head above her chest, near the crook of her neck. She wrapped her arms around him, rubbing his back with one hand while her other hand ran its fingers through his hair.
They stayed in that position, not speaking, just basking in each other’s embrace. Their earlier hungry desire transformed into tender comfort, simply thankful that they were together once again.
"...love you..." Jin Liwei mumbled before his eyes fluttered close, a soft smile on his lips.
