Learning that her brother would be returning soon filled Iris with much anticipation. It pushed any thoughts about Rose Young out of her mind. However, Iris decided to put aside her excitement about his brother's return at the moment because Jin Liwei didn't look well.

All of her attention was on her darling, so she had no time to spare for Gu Chang and Diao Yijue. She basically just left them to fend for themselves after they all left the computer room together. Fortunately, a maid took pity on the two of them and showed them the way out.

The two couldn't wait to leave this crazy place and go home to the safety of their own homes. They needed some time to digest all the craziness they experienced today. In addition to their shocked minds, the two also felt very exhausted just like Jin Liwei. But at least they were able to take a short nap earlier, unlike their President who didn't sleep a wink since yesterday.

Iris tried to lead Jin Liwei to their bedroom. She wanted him to sleep as soon as possible. Her heart ached seeing her darling so exhausted, especially since it was partly her fault that he wasn't able to take even just a short nap because he was too worried that she didn't come out of the computer room for fifteen hours. Her own hunger was forgotten, as she planned to take care of her darling.

Jin Liwei also felt the same way. While she tried to pull him to their bedroom, he was also trying to bring her to the kitchen. He wanted her to eat as soon as possible. His heart ached knowing that his baby girl only ate one small energy bar. His own exhaustion was momentarily forgotten, as he planned to take care of his baby girl.

When they realized that they were pulling each other in two different direction, they spoke at the same time.

"Darling, you need to sleep first."

"Love, you need to eat first."

They both fell silent, but warmth quickly flooded their hearts. The corners of their mouths curved up into smiles filled with tenderness for each other.

In the end, Jin Liwei won this round. No matter how much Iris tried persuading him to sleep, he refused to go to the bedroom without seeing her eat her first meal of the day. Iris didn't want to argue with him this time, so she allowed him to pull her to the kitchen.

After eating a light but nutritious soup-based meal as quickly as she could, the two finally headed to their bedroom. Iris pulled him into the bathroom, took off their clothes, and cleaned both of their bodies in the shower. Jin Liwei was too tired to do anything but stand there while she quickly finished up washing, drying and slathering lotion and moisturizer (Orchidia Beauty, of course) on both of them.

Afterwards, Jin Liwei could barely keep his eyes open. Iris helped him to the bed. He just dropped like a big, heavy rock on the bed and stopped moving.

"Stay with me…" he mumbled before his breathing slowed down and deepened, indicating that he already fell asleep just like that.

"I'll be here," Iris murmured.

She caressed his face and leaned down to kiss him gently on the lips. Then she lay down beside him and covered their naked bodies with the duvet. Even though she already slept earlier, she didn't mind sleeping again. So many things happened in just less than two days. Both of them needed to rest as much as they could before returning to their insanely busy work schedules.

"Sweet dreams, darling," she whispered before joining her man in the cozy cocoon of sleep.
