Chapter 304 - My Everything Belongs To You
Jin Liwei’s heart skipped a beat after hearing Iris’ possessive words. He was actually a bit taken aback by the extent of her reaction. His baby girl was so furious that her face turned completely red. She looked like she wanted to beat up someone and cry at the same time.
How cute!
His mouth twitched, but he fought against the wide grin threatening to break out of his face. He covered it up by clearing his throat instead. Although he was extremely pleased by her reaction, he forced a serious expression on his face.
"See? What you’re feeling right now is the same as how I’m feeling just imagining you being ogled by other men," he told her. "It’s not a great feeling, is it?"
She shook her head. Her delectable lips formed into a cute pout. With her contrite expression, she looked absolutely adorable. Jin Liwei’s breathing sped up and his eyes became a bit dazed at the sight of her, as a familiar hot ball of desire started burning in his lower abdomen.
’Calm down, Liwei. Now’s not the time. The two of you are having a serious conversation,’ he scolded himself.
Then Iris suddenly ran and threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist in a fierce hug. She rubbed her face against his bare chest, inhaling his scent before biting him hard.
He grunted from the pain. But other than that, he showed no reaction from her bite. He even hugged her more tightly. He began rubbing her back and stroking her hair to soothe her because he could feel her frustration. At herself, perhaps.
After biting him, she licked the deep bite mark on his chest. "Sorry," she mumbled.
"Hmm. It’s okay. You can bite me more," he murmured.
"No, I don’t mean that." She lifted her head from his chest and looked up his face. "Well, I’m also sorry for biting you but I’m sorrier for fighting with you. I wasn’t thinking about how you’ll feel."
He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "It’s okay. I’m glad we’re able to talk it out. I’m also sorry that I raised my voice at you. I almost lost control of my anger."
"Mmn. It’s fine. I’m not hurt." She moved her arms from around his waist and wrapped them around his neck instead. "How about this? Let’s look at my endorsement offers and then let’s decide which ones to accept together."
"En."
Iris stood on her tippy-toes and pulled his head down. Then she pressed her lips against his for a chaste kiss. Afterwards, she led the two of them to sit down on the chaise longue together. But before they could look at the documents on the low table, she stopped as she remembered something. She faced him, giving him a strict look.
He raised both of his eyebrows.
"I’m not going to accept the endorsement offer from that lingerie brand," she told him.
"En. Good."
"Darling..."
"Hm?"
"Don’t show your body to other people besides me, okay? If they’re not your doctor or masseur, nobody is allowed to see your body except me. Understand?"
A chuckle escaped from his lips.
She huffed, displeased at his reaction. "I’m serious!"
He stopped laughing but his eyes still looked amused. When he replied to her, however, his tone was sincere.
"Of course, love. My body, all of me, my everything belongs only to you. Happy?"
She nodded, pleased at his declaration.
After smiling at each other like idiots, the couple finally started reviewing and discussing her endorsement offers together. There were two others besides the lingerie brand that they tossed to the reject pile.
One was for a perfume line by a famous European fashion company.
"This is an excellent offer and will definitely boost your popularity by a lot, not only in the country but also in the international level. However, I suggest that you don’t accept this," Jin Liwei told her. "I personally think that you can have your own perfume line if you want to. You can even put it under Orchidia Beauty or release it independently. Totally up to you. No need to endorse another company’s products when you can manufacture and sell your own. Won’t it be so much better to endorse your own products?"
Iris thought about his suggestion and agreed with him. She thought that his idea was great. Now she was glad that they were discussing her endorsement offers together. Jin Liwei was really an experienced businessman. Although she was Grandpa Lu’s student, there were still a lot of things that she didn’t know in the world of business. Jin Liwei could provide her with an additional set of advice to steer her to a more advantageous direction.
As for the other offer, they argued about it for some time before Iris "tentatively" agreed to reject it. It was an offer from a premium tea company. For a tea lover like herself, she was excited to accept this endorsement. It was actually her first choice in her original accept pile. That was why she was dismayed that Jin Liwei was discouraging her from accepting it.
"Why?" she asked him.
"I’ll get you another tea endorsement," he told her.
"Which company?"
He hesitated before giving her an unclear answer. "Give me some time to prepare everything. I’ll have the offer drafted out soon. Okay?"
She was very unhappy with his answer.
Seeing her expression, he kissed her on the cheek. "Sorry, love. I want it to be a surprise. But I think that you’ll like it more than this one."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Tell me, is it your company?" she asked.
"No, it’s not."
She tilted her head to the side, confused. "If it’s not yours, how are you so sure that the company will want me as endorser?"
He just gave her a mysterious smile and told her, "I just know."
After some time, they finally finished going through all of the endorsement offers. Iris took a quick shower before joining Jin Liwei on the bed. Although he wanted to make love with her, he controlled himself because she looked so exhausted. So he just satisfied himself by embracing her in his arms.
She was about to sleep when she remembered something important.
"Darling?"
"Hm?" He stroked her back.
"Please don’t buy that lingerie company. I don’t want it. I’ll just stay as a customer. I don’t want to be its owner. I already have my hands full with my own companies plus Gold Heights which you gifted me. I don’t need a new company for now. Okay?"
He chuckled softly. "Alright. I won’t buy it. Now let’s sleep."
"Mmn...’kay."
She snuggled deeper in his embrace while he continued stroking her back. Moments later, she fell asleep.
"G’night, love," he murmured before following her into another sweet dream.
