Chapter 1444 Won’t Let Him Get Away Unscathed
Lin Yehan"s farm villa.
"Please come in." Jiang Ying Yue welcomed Iris and Jin Liwei along with their twins, the cats and the dogs.
"Mama! Papa! Mochi, Matcha! Catties, doggies!" Little Jun ran towards them.
"Little Jun, don"t run too fast," Lin Yehan"s voice sounded from somewhere inside the house.
Three dogs followed Little Jun to greet the new arrivals.
Little Mochi and Little Matcha squirmed in their father"s arms, clearly asking him to put them down so that they could greet everyone. Jin Liwei gently placed them down, supporting them while they did their best to shakily walk toward their eldest cousin.
Everyone watched as the kids and animals happily greeted each other.
"h.e.l.lo, Gravy," Iris greeted and petted Little Jun"s German Shepherd dog. "Oh, Ham and Mash are here, too? Big Brother, Big Sister, and their kids are already here?"
"Only Jinjing and her twins came," Jiang Ying Yue answered her. "It seems that Sir Zihao is busy today, so he can"t come."
"Oh." Iris felt a little disappointed but soon forgot about her big brother to shower her recently sick G.o.dson with lots of hugs and kisses.
Another person entered the door carrying several plastic and paper bags.
"Where"s my cutie-patootie Junie boy? Your gorgeous and fabulous Uncle Dom is here~"
"Anko Dom!" (Uncle Dom!) The excited Little Jun clung to his favourite uncle"s leg.
"Let me help carry those." Lin Yehan finally appeared, took the heaviest bags from Dom, and carried them inside. "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-Law, Dom, let"s go. Fifth Sister-in-law and the Lu twins are already here with Chen Fei."
"Chen Fei"s here, too?" Iris asked.
"She drove Jinjing, the twins, and the dogs here," Jiang Ying Yue replied.
They all headed to the open kitchen where Long Jinjing and Chen Fei were each carrying babies.
"Little Misha! Little Dima!" Iris" maternal feelings overflowed at the sight of her beloved nephews.
Not seeing them in person every day almost made her depressed. She missed them so much!
She took Little Misha from Long Jinjing and was shocked by the baby"s weight.
Chen Fei laughed at her expression. "I reacted exactly the same way. I almost dropped Little Dima when I carried him earlier. These little fatties got heavier again."
Long Jinjing smiled and wiped drool on Little Misha"s mouth to prevent the baby from dirtying his Aunt Xiulan"s dress. "I was also concerned about their weight at first but the doctor said not to worry about it too much. They inherited their father"s build. Grandpa Lu showed me Zihao"s baby pictures and he was also a very fat baby."
"Really?" Iris was also interested. She reminded herself to ask Grandpa Lu for Lu Zihao"s baby pictures the next time she met with the old man.
Although that Lu Zihao wasn"t her big brother yet back then, she already considered the original Lu Zihao as a brother as well. If it weren"t for his body, her big brother wouldn"t have been reborn like her. It was because of both the original Long Xiulan and the original Lu Zihao that both she, Evelina Vetrova, and her brother, Nikolai Vetrov, were able to live again after the fall of the Vetrovs in their past lives.
"Is Big Brother not coming here today?" Iris asked.
"He said he"ll try," Long Jinjing said. "He has been pretty busy these past few days."
Iris nodded and didn"t ask anymore. Although she could always have Bacon report to her about her brother"s business, she chose not to do so to respect her brother"s privacy. She only required Bacon to report to her when her brother"s business was directly related to her or deemed too dangerous. If not, she didn"t bother to know.
"Meimei isn"t available today either. She"s busy with her webtoon as usual." Iris then turned to Chen Fei. "How about you? Is Brother Chonglin not coming?"
Perhaps for the first time ever, Iris saw Chen Fei blush. She raised an eyebrow and looked intrigued.
"Hmph!" Chen Fei tried to cover up her embarra.s.sing reaction. "I don"t know if he"s coming or not. And I don"t care!"
"Wait, wait, wait!!!" Dom called out from behind the kitchen counter. "Don"t start talking about Prince Lin Lin without the handsome and beautiful me!!!"
Chen Fei rolled her eyes.
Dom quickly washed his hands and skipped over to the girl squad"s side, leaving Jin Liwei and Lin Yehan to help the private chef organize the additional food that the Jin family brought over.
"So?" Dom squeezed beside the annoyed Chen Fei. "Spill the tea! I want to know your official relations.h.i.+p status with Prince Lin Lin!!!"
Chen Fei muttered something.
Dom: "What is it? Speak louder. We can"t hear you!"
Chen Fei rolled her eyes again. "I said I agreed to become Jin Chonglin"s real girlfriend!"
"Wow!" Dom looked (exaggeratedly) shocked.
"Oh, shut up, Dom." Chen Fei couldn"t bear her friend"s comical expression.
"Language, Xiao Fei," Long Jinjing reminded her. "The kids can hear you."
"I didn"t even say a bad word," Chen Fei muttered but still obeyed.
Dom didn"t care about Chen Fei"s rudeness. They were all already used to it and knew that although her mouth was poisonous, her heart was still the softest toward her friends and loved ones.
Dom: "You just said that you don"t know if Prince Lin Lin is coming or not and that you don"t care, but look at your blus.h.i.+ng face. Ah, you can"t lie to the great Dom. Oh no, you can"t! I can feel it in my bones."
Chen Fei snarled at him. She wanted to curse but remembered Long Jinjing"s warning, so she could only harrumph and pretend that she didn"t hear Dom.
"So you"re serious about him?" Iris asked while trying to bounce the heavy Little Misha on her lap.
Chen Fei shrugged. "I figured I like him a bit, so I"ll give him a chance. He can still be annoying most of the time, but he treats me well. I don"t know if our relations.h.i.+p can last especially since we"re both extremely busy with our careers, but there"s no harm in trying."
Everyone nodded.
Then she added while waving Little Dima"s chubby fist, "And if he ever cheats on me, I won"t let him get away with it unscathed! Hmph!"
