Chapter 206 - Meeting Fifth Brother
While Jin Liwei was driving, Iris couldn"t stop herself from staring at him. They had been living together for quite some time that she should be used to him by now. After all, she already saw every inch of his body. After seeing so much of him, there shouldn"t be anything interesting about him for her anymore. However, she just couldn"t tear her eyes away from him at the moment. She thought that he was becoming more and more attractive lately.
He could feel his baby girl"s eyes on him. He let her ogle as much as she wanted. Happiness filled him. When he glanced at her, she was still looking intently at him. His mouth curved up into a lazy smile.
"Like what you"re seeing, baby?"
"Mmn…yes."
The lazy smile immediately turned into a smug smile.
"Liwei."
"Hm?"
"I like you very much," she suddenly said. Her voice was so soft, it was almost a whisper.
His heart skipped a beat. He glanced at her again and saw that she was looking at him more deeply. If only he wasn"t driving, he would"ve kissed her already. Unfortunately, they were currently on the highway. He couldn"t randomly stop just to kiss her.
"I love you, baby. So much."
She smiled softly. "I like you very much, Liwei." Then she asked, "How will I know if I"m falling in love with you?"
His heart started beating like crazy. His hands trembled a bit on the steering wheel. He took a couple of deep breaths to steady his emotions. He forced himself to be calm down.
"You"ll just have to realize it for yourself, baby," he told her in a serious tone. "Even I"ve never fallen in love before but I just knew it deep inside when I fell for you. I never expected that you"ll be the woman I"ll end up loving."
She listened to him, memorizing his every word. His voice felt like warm caramel, sweet and sticky. She gradually felt her chest swelling with feelings that she couldn"t determine.
"I really hope that you can love me too," he continued. "I"ll do my best to make you fall for me."
"I"m looking forward to it."
When they stopped at a red light, both leaned towards each other for a deep, hungry kiss. n.o.body initiated. They simply did it at the same time. They had to stop when the cars behind them started honking.
Jin Liwei had no choice but to keep on driving. Her eyes never left him. He could feel her looking at him the entire time. As a result, he was in a constant semi-aroused state. He kept on chatting with her about different things to distract himself.
It didn"t help that every time they stopped at a red light, they would start making out. And each time, they were forced to stop and continue driving. d.a.m.n green light for lighting up so quickly! The cars honking behind them were also very annoying. He wanted to stop the car so badly and just continue kissing his baby girl.
Iris noticed that Jin Liwei was starting to lose his cool. Maybe they shouldn"t kiss each other anymore while he was driving. It wasn"t safe. Sighing, she stopped looking at him, turning her head to look outside the window instead.
He immediately noticed it when her eyes left him. He felt empty and disappointed but told himself that this was for the best. Any more kissing and he might lose control. A car crash was the last thing he wanted his baby girl to experience again. This thought was like a bucket of ice water dumped over him, instantly killing his arousal.
Finally, the scenery started changing from urban to rural. After driving some more, they finally arrived at their destination.
They drove inside the gated property and entered the farm villa. A few minutes later, they parked in front of Lin Yehan"s big country mansion. There were other cars parked. Jin Liwei"s brothers already arrived before them.
Jin Liwei opened the door for her. He wrapped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her close to his body. The weather was chilly. They didn"t waste any time and quickly climbed up the steps to the mansion. The big doors were unlocked, so they just entered. The comfortable warmth inside greeted them.
"Ah, speak of the devil. Here they are," they heard Lin Yehan say.
"Third Bro! Xiao Xiu! What took you so long? We"ve been waiting for you!" Yu Mo asked them.
"Let them warm up first, Fourth Brother," w.a.n.g Yingjie advised.
Jin Liwei clasped hands with Iris, as they walked to the living area where his brothers were currently lounging. Iris greeted the brothers while Jin Liwei nodded at them.
She was immediately drawn to the unfamiliar figure beside Yu Mo. He must be their Fifth Brother. Their eyes met, curious at each other. She gave him a friendly smile. His mouth also curved up.
Jin Liwei began the introductions.
"Baby, this is our Fifth Brother, Lu Zihao. He"s Grandpa Lu"s grandson."
Iris studied Lu Zihao. Indeed, he resembled Grandpa Lu. Both looked mischievous.
He was handsome in a different way from Jin Liwei. Lu Zihao was attractive in a wild and roguish way, while Jin Liwei was the cold and serious type.
"Fifth Brother, this is my girlfriend, Long Xiulan."
"h.e.l.lo, Fifth Brother," Iris greeted him. "It"s a pleasure to finally meet you."
"Xiulan, I"ve been looking forward to meeting you. I"ve heard so much about you." He shook hands with her. He didn"t release her hand right away.
Iris didn"t find it odd that their handshake lasted a bit longer than necessary. She thought that he was a nice person just like the rest of the brothers. He had a relaxed and easygoing manner about him. However, she began to feel a little uncomfortable when he continued to look at her. His expression looked laid-back but Iris felt an inexplicable intense pressure from his gaze.
There was something familiar about the feeling. She frowned, and then lightly shook her head. What familiar? This was the first time she was meeting him. She must be overthinking.
Finally, Lu Zihao released her hand before turning to Jin Liwei. "Third Brother, how lucky you are. Your girlfriend is a beauty."
"En," Jin Liwei replied with a nod.
Lu Zihao shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans. He looked at Iris again. "So you"re the old man"s new granddaughter?"
"Yes. Grandpa Lu has been taking care of me," she answered.
"Hmm…" One corner of Lu Zihao"s lifted into a devilish smile. "Did you know that the old man intended to pair you up with me? He can"t stop raving about you. If you weren"t already with Third Brother, you"ll probably end up as my girlfriend instead."
