After posing for the cameras, interacting with the fans, and answering interview questions from the reporters on the red carpet, Iris and Jin Liwei finally headed inside the convention centre. Because they were the last people to arrive, their entrance to the convention centre would mark the end of the red carpet event.

"Iris Long! CEO Jin! Please stay a little longer!"

The people kept on requesting for them stay. In fact, the couple already went over their allotted time on the red carpet by a few minutes. They needed to leave soon, not wanting to be the reason for the grand launch to be delayed longer than necessary.

Iris waved a final time at the crowd before leaving the red carpet with Jin Liwei. However, she stopped when they reached the bottom of the steps leading to the convention centre's entrance. These particular steps were particularly steep and higher than usual.

"What's wrong, love?" Jin Liwei asked when she didn't move.

"Uh… Darling, my mermaid-style dress is too tight at the bottom. I don't think I'll be able to climb these steps without struggling." Iris sighed. "My designer and I didn't take these steps into consideration when designing this dress. It's my fault for not checking everything in the venue thoroughly."

"I see. Don't worry, love. It's no problem."

Then he bent down and lifted her up all of a sudden, carrying her up the steps princess-style. His movements were so quick and smooth that Iris wasn't able to react in time. Her arms instinctively wrapped around his shoulders to secure herself.

Everyone saw this scene. They all went wild.

"This is the most romantic scene ever!!!"

"CEO Jin literally swept Boss Iris off her feet!!!"

"Uwah! Too much dogfood! My single dog self is becoming diabetic…but I don't care!!! Gimme more! MORE!!! MOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!"

The media captured the moment. They took countless photos, recorded it on video, and livestreamed the event.

Rose was too furious, too jealous and too drunk. Her face turned from red to purple. Then she dropped on the couch like a heavy log.

"Eh? Rosie?"

Despite her drunken state, Jenny Tseng was still able to function properly…or as proper as she could be. She crawled over to her friend who now lay unmoving on the couch.

"Rosie? Yoohoo~ Ahahaha! What the hell, Rosie? Did you really pass out? How lame! So funny! Ahahahaha!"

Jenny lasted a few minutes longer before passing out as well. But not before finishing the remaining champagne by herself.

"Bahahaha! That's my boy! So manly—just like ME! Right, Haohao my boy?! Bahahahaha!" a booming voice said in a mixture of delight, pride and amusement.

"What do you mean that my grandson is just like you? Hmph! My grandson took after MY husband, of course. A gentleman but also a passionate lover. Not like an old gorilla like you!" an elegant elder female voice retorted, pretending to sniff in disdain.

"What are you saying, you old hag? I want to know! I might not be a gentleman but I'm definitely more passionate than my brother, your husband!"

"You? Passionate? Shameless is more like it!"

"Bahahaha! That's very true, too!!!"

The people around Grandpa Lu and Grandma Li all chuckled, entertained by the two elders' banter. Even those who came from abroad still laughed, despite not understanding Mandarin. Just looking at their expressions was funny in itself.

As for the couple who showered everyone with dogfood just by their entrance, Jin Liwei continued to carry Iris while walking to the direction of their families and friends.

"Darling, we've already passed the steps. You can put me down now. I'll be fine and can walk on my own," Iris said.

"You're wearing high heels tonight. I saw that they're higher than usual. Let me carry you a little longer so that you won't tire and hurt your feet too soon," he replied with a straight face.
