chapter-346
A chill suddenly permeated the air. It made Dom shiver, but even so, he didn't stop eating. His chopsticks continued to shove food into his mouth. However, he did glance warily at his sir boss who now looked like a frozen statue of the king of hell.
Iris stood up from her seat and walked towards Jin Liwei. Then she squeezed herself between the table and his body to sit on his lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she began raining kisses all over his face.
"Darling, don't be so jealous of your own brother, okay?" she said in her sweetest voice. "You're the one I love and the inspiration of the song I'm writing, not him. Brother Chonglin is just a…a…hmm, a mouthpiece, yes! He's just a mouthpiece that I need to use in order to produce the song I'm envisioning."
A giggle escaped from Dom's mouth, but he forcefully stopped it when Iris gave him a warning look. Then she returned to sweet-talking her darling, making sure to kiss him every few sentences.
Jin Liwei's mouth twitched at his baby girl's new method of persuasion. However, he fought against the smug smile threatening to break out of his face. He was enjoying her actions immensely and wanted to experience it longer, so he maintained his cold and displeased expression."As a fellow musician, I want to experience working with Brother Chonglin," she continued. "Besides, I'd rather work with Brother Chonglin who's a family member, rather than with a total stranger. Don't you think so too, darling?"
"Hmm…" One of his hands wrapped around her waist while the other hand fondled her thighs. Despite the shamelessness of his hands, his expression remained unmoved.
To be honest, he didn't really mind the idea of his baby girl and his own brother working together. He trusted both of them. She had already removed his misconception from before that she had feelings for his brother when she pursued Jin Chonglin as a teenage pop star. Despite this, he still couldn't stop himself from feeling jealous.
Iris pouted when he didn't respond. She felt disappointed thinking that he didn't want her to work with Jin Chonglin.
"Fine, then. I'll just give the song to others and let them sing the duet instead. I'll just be the songwriter," she said in a sulky tone.
She unwrapped her arms around his neck and moved to stand up from his lap. However, he pulled her back down, refusing to let her go. He kissed her shoulder and sighed.
"No, love. I want you to sing that song. Didn't you say that I'm your inspiration for writing it? Then I want nobody else to sing it but you. Use my brother if you need to.""Really?"
"En."
"Thank you, darling." She gave him a peck on the lips. A lovely smile lit up her face
"If my brother does anything bad to you or doesn't listen to you, feel free to smack him."
Iris giggled. "You're so mean, Liwei. That's your brother. But I'll keep that in mind."
In a good mood, she took his chopsticks and began feeding him the rest of his dinner. Of course, Jin Liwei was more than happy to let her feed him. He even deliberately chewed slower so that the moment could last longer.
After dinner, they headed to their own respective bedrooms. Dom gave the couple two thumbs up and a "ehehe" before leaving the two of them.
On the way to their suite, Iris regaled Jin Liwei with her activities during the day. He listened attentively. He felt happy that she now had become comfortable enough in their relationship to talk about trivial things without needing him to ask her.
It was completely different now compared to the early days of their relationship. Before, he needed to coax her and even trick her into making her talk to him more. But now she was doing it on her own volition. He felt very happy that they had reached this point.
"Long Xiulan, thank you," he told her in a voice so soft that it was barely audible.
Fortunately, Iris had great ears. She tilted her head to the side. "Hm? What for?"
"Thank you for accepting me and also for loving me."
She hugged him. "I'm glad I met you, Jin Liwei."
"Congrats!"
"Manager Long, please don't forget about us."
"We'll miss you, Manager Long. Please visit us whenever you have the time."
Long Jian's colleagues at the small branch division he had worked at since graduating from university offered their congratulations and well-wishes to him. They were at a popular restaurant near their workplace to celebrate his promotion to the main company. They also treated the dinner as his farewell party.
The females were very sad to see him go. He was their office crush and dream guy. To them, he was perfect in every single way. He was tall, handsome, smart, cool and charismatic. The performance of their small branch division improved by leaps and bounds because of him.
Everyone knew that he was President Long Tengfei's illegitimate son. At first, they thought that he only used his father's influence to obtain a position right after graduating from university.
However, as soon as he started working, they discovered what an outstanding businessman he was. He was a born leader who knew how to push his team members to work harder and become more ambitious.
They were sad to see him go, but knew that he already outgrew their small branch division. He deserved to reach higher up the hierarchy ladder at the main company. They believed that he had the skills, abilities, and drive to be an executive one day. However, not one of them thought that he could be President Long Tengfei's successor one day. After all, it was an already widely accepted fact that Deputy CFO Long Hui was the heir of Long Industries.
As for Long Jian, he was relieved that he finally received a promotion. He couldn't wait to leave the small branch division. The three years he worked there felt like three decades. He resented the fact that his father sent him to such a small branch division after graduating.
He felt that it was unfair because Long Hui directly worked at the main company when he graduated. Even though both of them graduated top of their classes from the same C9 League university, why was the treatment of them after graduation so different from each other? Was it because Long Hui was the legitimate firstborn son and he was illegitimate?
Despite the unfairness of it all, he worked extremely hard to boost the small branch division's performance. It was now one of the top branches because of him. All of his hard work finally paid off.
By next week, he would start working at the main company under the COO. Although the position given to him was too low for his liking, it was alright. He just needed to work hard again in order to climb the ranks.
He couldn't wait to show everyone at the main company his capabilities and to prove that he was more worthy than Long Hui to succeed as the head of Long Industries. This was his chance and he was going to seize it with all he had.
