Chapter 1166 - Finally Meeting His Idol
Compared to his comfortable air travel, Jasper Leung was tense at the unbelievably tight security at Dragon Palace Homes. Even clearing customs wasn"t as strict as this!
Every time they had to stop at a security checkpoint, he felt nervous and even guilty for no reason at all. He tried to remember if he brought any illegal substances or firearms without his own knowledge. It was completely illogical because he was innocent but he still couldn"t stop himself from feeling this nervous, no, frightened at the intimidating security protocol inside the exclusive village.
Jasper glanced at a.s.sistant Xu Tian who was sitting beside him on the backseat as cool as a cuc.u.mber. This seemed to be normal routine for him. As expected of the executive a.s.sistant of CEO Jin Liwei!
He calmed down a little after being influenced by a.s.sistant Xu. However, he began to feel nervous again once they reached Dragon Palace Home #10. The ma.s.sive gates was impressive and so was the long…long…extremely long driveway. How long was it anyway? They had been driving for ten minutes already but had yet to see the mansion.
"We"ll be there in another ten minutes," a.s.sistant Xu told him.
Jasper nodded, not daring to complain. He didn"t have time for it anyway because his face was almost glued to his window looking at the picturesque view outside. Finally, the palatial mansion came into view. He gasped upon seeing it. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

"Wow!"
It was like being transported to Europe. His earlier nervousness was now gone, replaced by pure awe instead at the magnificent sight before him.
"Let"s go," a.s.sistant Xu said.
Jasper followed the executive a.s.sistant up the stone steps. The butler welcomed and led them inside the mansion. Once again, Jasper"s jaw fell down upon stepping inside. Was this a home? It felt like he was stepping into a fantastical world so far away from his reality.
His eyes were attracted by the huge portrait hanging on top of the twin grand staircases. It was a family portrait of CEO Jin Liwei and his wife with four cute cats of different colours. The green-eyed white cat especially caught his attention because its bright smile resembled Madam Jin in an uncanny way.
The butler told him, "Mr. Leung, my apologies but you"ll have to wait before you can rest in your a.s.signed bedroom. The master and mistress both want to meet you as soon as you arrive. Please follow me."
"Ah, yes! No problem at all. I"m not that tired because the flight was very comfortable. I also want to meet CEO Jin and Madam Jin to thank them for inviting me here. Please lead the way, Mr. Butler."
While they were walking, Jasper tried to play it cool at first but he couldn"t stop himself from looking around like an ignorant kid. CEO Jin Liwei had a cold, indifferent, and intimidating public persona so Jasper thought that his idol businessman"s home would reflect that. He was wrong.
Although the mansion was ma.s.sive, it felt warm and even cozy. There were lots of photos of the married couple, their cats, and other people who must be their loved ones displayed here and there. The monogram LX was also everywhere. Jasper knew that it was the initials of CEO Jin and his wife.
He recognized some of the faces in the photos like the legendary genius businessman and co-founder of Jin Corporation, Sir Lu Jianhong, and the superstar Jin Chonglin. As for the others, he didn"t recognize them but guessed that they were close to CEO Jin and his wife.
"Mr. Butler, is there no photos of Miss Kitty Jin?" he asked.
The butler looked confused at first, which in turn confused Jasper, but it didn"t last long. Realization flashed in the butler"s eyes.
Behind Jasper, Xu Tian mouthed "Ketchup" to the butler. It was only then that the butler remembered the Young Miss Ketchup"s English name.
"Young Miss Kitty is also in the photos, of course," the butler said with a mysterious but polite smile. "Perhaps Mr. Leung has just not noticed it."
Jasper didn"t think too much about the butler"s earlier confused expression. He wanted to ask the butler to point out Miss Kitty in the photos but a.s.sistant Xu Tian interrupted him before he could do so. a.s.sistant Xu began reminding him again about the proper behaviour when meeting CEO Jin and Madam Jin.
"The madam is in bed rest so we"ll meet her and President Jin in their bedroom. Remember not to look around too much inside because it"s their private s.p.a.ce. Don"t ask too many questions about the madam either and pay attention to the president"s expression. He"s extremely protective of the madam so he won"t take it kindly if you offend his wife even by accident."
"Yes, sir. I understand, sir!" Jasper began to sweat and his heart started thundering inside his chest.
"We"re here." The butler opened the door to the master suite and led them inside.
Jasper had a few seconds to calm himself before the butler beckoned them to follow him inside the master bedroom. As soon as he entered after a.s.sistant Xu, he heard a familiar excited child"s voice.
"Meowowow! Welcome to our home, Jaspy! The cute and mighty Kitty is so happy that you visited our one big happy family! Mommy, Daddy, this is Kitty"s new not-so-boring employee, Jaspy! Meow~"
"Thank you, Miss Kitty." He looked around, trying to look for his boss but couldn"t find her.
"Hihihi! You can"t see the cute and mighty Kitty! Meow~"
Jasper didn"t have the time to figure out where his naughty boss" voice was coming from because his eyes immediately zeroed in to the tall, handsome figure who stood up to meet him and the beautiful, delicate figure propped on the big bed. He stood ramrod straight and quickly wiped his sweaty palms on his pants before shaking his idol CEO"s hand.
Kyaaaaaah! He touched CEO Jin Liwei"s hand. OMG!
He was freaking out inside but by the grace of the almighty deity of all fanboys, fangirls and fangays, he was able to stay upright and prevent himself from fainting on his idol"s feet. His sweaty hands were trembling but at least he didn"t completely embarra.s.s himself in front of everyone.
"Welcome to our home, Jasper Leung," CEO Jin said with a smile.
Jasper was almost blinded. His idol"s smile was too deadly! Kyaaaaaaah!
