Chapter 71 - Great Moves
"Congratulations, boss and sir boss!" Dom exclaimed, clapping and jumping around enthusiastically. "Pictures! We have to take pictures of this important moment!"
Good idea. Jin Liwei fished out his own phone from the pocket of his jogger pants. He unlocked it before tossing it to the excited assistant. Then his arm snaked around his Xiulan's tiny waist and posed with her.
Dom squealed as he took pictures of the gorgeous pair of lovebirds from different angles. "Yes! Turn this way a little...perfect! Smile a little, sir boss. Even for just a tiny bit...oh okay. Never mind. You're still handsome, anyway. Oh yes. Kiss each other! I have to take a photo of you kissing!"
Iris chuckled. "No. That's enoughâ"
Jin Liwei leaned down and kissed his baby girl hard, pressing her so far that she bent her back at over a 90 degree angle.
Oh! He didn't know that his baby girl was so bendy. His eyes turned wicked, formulating devious plans in his evil mind on how to make use of his girlfriend's flexibility. He smirked.
"Ayiiiii!!!" Dom and his fellow fan girls squealed so hard that it hurt the ears of the people around them. He continued snapping photos like the paparazzi.
They were interrupted by the sound of the ringing intercom. Yi Mei hurried to answer it.
Jin Liwei retrieved his phone from the grinning assistant. He viewed all the photos, a satisfied expression on his face.
Iris leaned from the side and peeked at the photos as well.
He kissed her forehead. "I'll send copies to your phone."
"Okay."
Moments later, Yi Mei returned with a flamboyant-looking, tanned muscleman in pink skin-tight pants and a matching tank top with plunging neckline. His wavy hair was held back by a bright neon yellow headband.
"Hello hello hello!" he greeted with high energy. "Good morning to you! Good morning to me! Good morning to everybody! Are you all ready to Zumba your way to sexy booties today?"
"Yes!" Iris employees' shouted with gusto.
"Hello, Miss Xiulan!" The energetic Zumba instructor smiled widely at Iris. Then his eyes widened with interest upon seeing the tall, gorgeous man hugging her. "Oh hello, Mr. Gorgeous!"
Jin Liwei gave him a quick nod, his expression cold and indifferent.
"This is the first time I've seen you here, handsome! I'll do my best to make sure that today will be extra fun for you." He winked at him.
Iris felt Jin Liwei stiffen. She wrapped her arms around his waist and gave a warning look to the Zumba instructor. "He's mine."
Jin Liwei looked down at his baby girl, feeling extremely pleased. Heard that? She just claimed him. Not to mention that she went crazy with jealousy earlier because she mistakenly thought that he cheated on her with another woman. Ah, today was such a great day! And it just started. He was looking forward to spending the rest of the day with his girlfriend.
The instructor wasn't offended at all by his client's warning, even laughing merrily. "Oh, Miss Xiulan! I know! Please don't worry! I'm just admiring such a beautiful couple like you two! Shall we start the class?"
Everyone headed to the home gym, which was more of a dance studio, because there was a lot of space and entire walls of mirrors. It only had three machines (treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine) and a rack of weights inside.
The Zumba instructor stood at the very front facing them. Dom, Iris and Jin Liwei positioned themselves in the first row while the others were behind them. Yi Mei and the cook were at the very back, so that they could follow the young people's movements in front of them.
They started with a couple of not-so-fast songs to warm their bodies up. After that, the instructor went into overdrive, shouting instructions while dancing energetically.
"One two three shimmy! Shimmy and then shake! Pump shake pump! Shake those booties! Harder! As hard as you can! Imagine shaking the fats and sweat out of your bodies! Let me hear you! Whooo!"
"Whooo!" Everyone shouted while shaking their booties.
Jin Liwei looked up at the ceiling with a blank expression, wondering what in the eighteen hells' tarnation was he doing jumping around and gyrating his hips to the beat of booming dance music. He turned his head to the side when he heard his girlfriend's giggles.
"Great moves, Mr. Jin," she teased. Her eyes bright and her smile mischievous.
"Not as great as yours." He subconsciously licked his lips with dark eyes, as he watched his Xiulan's sexy body pumping perfectly in time with the beat of the music.
He sighed inwardly. If there weren't other people present at the moment, he would've already pushed her down to the floor and showed her just how great his moves really were.
Halfway through, both Yi Mei and the cook gradually slowed down. Everyone was sweating heavily.
They had short but frequent water breaks. Jin Liwei shared Iris' water bottle, refusing to even acknowledge the bottle intended for him.
Finally, the Zumba class ended. They were all out of breath and drenched in sweat, but every single one had happy smiles on their faces.
Well, except for Jin Liwei who had his usual indifferent expression, but those with sharp eyes would notice that his eyes looked bright.
"Done?" he asked his baby girl.
"Yes."
"Good." Then he crouched down, caught her by the thighs and lifted her over his shoulder before striding like a king out the door.
"Liwei! What are you doing? Put me down!" She was momentarily disoriented at suddenly having her view turned upside-down, plus she was still breathless from the intense Zumba workout.
He slapped her butt and then groped it. "Time to shower, baby."
Seeing another exciting scene, Dom and his fellow fan girls with the addition of the energetic Zumba instructor all squealed in delight. Their imaginations were already overheating from thinking of what the lovebirds would be doing next. Ehehehe. Of course, what else would they be doing?
"That's so hot," the Zumba instructor sighed, as he watched the lovebirds disappear from view.
"Ehehe. I know, right?" Dom shook his booty, a big grin on his face.
They high-fived at each other, waggling their eyebrows meaningfully.
Yi Mei scowled, itching to throw her sweaty shoe at the lusty brat.

Chapter 72 - Darling
Jin Liwei carried Iris back to the bedroom and then headed straight to the bathroom. As soon as he put her down on her feet, they kissed each other hungrily. They hurriedly stripped each other's sweaty clothes before stepping under the shower.
Two rounds later, he was groaning while she was shuddering. The water raining down on them washed his white release immediately down the drain.
Iris had enough and wanted to take a real shower, so she grabbed the soap and started washing herself.
"Do me too, baby," he demanded.
She gave him a side-eye but still complied. The lazy man just stood there like a king while she did all the work and lathered the soap all over his body. Then she noticed something standing up once again, ready for another round of action. She stopped.
"Liwei, again? Seriously?"
He had already grabbed her hand and placed it around his length. He leaned down and licked her ear, whispering, "One more time. Okay, baby girl?"
"No. You do it yourself. I want to shower."
"Please. I need you."
She sighed. "Fine."
Five minutes later...
"Liwei, I'm tired. Hurry up and shoot it out."
"Just continue rubbing. I'm almost there."
"Why are you taking so long?"
"Just rub, baby. The faster you rub, the faster I'll finish."
Iris was starting to have second thoughts about entering a relationship with him. If she only knew that it would be such a responsibility and so much hard work keeping up with the man's desire and stamina, she wouldn't have agreed to be his girlfriend so easily. Sighing, she tightened her hold on him and rubbed him faster as he requested.
Finally, he stiffened and groaned, shooting another white mess all over her before being washed away by the water. He kissed her mouth clumsily.
She opened up her mouth, accepting him. She inwardly sighed at herself. She had no idea that she could be so attracted to a man and so quickly that she would find it so difficult to deny him.
Before she even realized it, Jin Liwei had already become an important person to her in this life. In fact, thinking about it more carefully, he was actually the closest person to her at the moment physically...and maybe even emotionally. Was this what having a lover felt like?
She was still unsure about him because they had only known each other for such a short period of time, but her attraction to him was real. She felt alive with him. She decided to just enjoy their relationship and see where it would take her. Whether it would last or not in the end, she would be grateful to him for the experience.
After showering, they blow dried their hair and headed to her walk-in closet.
"You said you're taking me on a date?" she asked, slathering lotion all over her smooth, milky-white skin.
"Yeah. We're leaving after we get ready."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Jin Liwei took out clothes from his sports bag. Iris saw his black jeans and decided that she should also wear something comfortable. It looked like they were going to a casual place and didn't need to dress up formally.
He glanced at the clothes he brought, then around her massive walk-in closet. His eyes lit up with an idea. He strode around the closet and started picking out clothes for her.
Iris wanted to complain at first, but felt that it wasn't worth it arguing with him over such a small and silly matter. Besides, it wasn't like she hated his idea. It sounded interesting.
In the end, they finished dressing. They were in matching outfits. Both wore black jeans and red shirts under black leather jackets. Black sneakers and big, dark aviator sunglasses completed their outfits.
After tying her long hair into a simple ponytail, she grabbed a small black leather backpack and put her wallet, phone and other essential stuff inside. Then she slung it behind her.
He took out his phone and pulled her to stand with him in front of the wall mirror. He took a picture of their reflection, saving this memory of their first matching outfits.
"Ready?" he asked, kissing her forehead.
"Yes."
"Let's go."
"Shall we eat here first before leaving? I'm hungry after the workout."
"Which workout?" He smirked.
"Hm? What do you mean? Didn't we just do Zumba?" The innuendo completely flew over her head.
He chuckled, shaking his head. He let it go and didn't explain what he meant. "We'll eat on the way," he told her.
"Oh, okay."
They walked out of the closet together holding hands.
He suddenly stopped. "Wait."
"Hm?" She looked up at him, confused.
"You're my girlfriend."
She blinked. "Yes."
"And I'm your boyfriend."
"Uh...yes."
"Then don't just call me by my name anymore. It sounds too formal. Call me 'darling' from now on, alright?"
"No, Liwei." She started walking again but her hand was pulled back.
"Baby girl, this is what boyfriends and girlfriends do. They call each other by pet names."
She gave him an unwilling look. "Do I have to? It sounds stupid."

"Stupid? Not at all. I call you my 'baby girl', so you should call me 'darling'. This is supposed to be romantic. Come on, baby. Try it."
"..."
"Please?"
"Darling..." she mumbled under her breath.
"Louder. I can't hear you."
"Darling!" she shouted.
He smiled so widely that his straight, white teeth almost blinded her.
She fought the urge to punch the stupid grin off his face.
"Good girl." He kissed her forehead. "Let's go."
"Okay."
"Okay what?"
Her eyes twitched. "Okay, darling."
Maybe it was really a mistake agreeing to be his girlfriend so easily.

Chapter 73 - Yes What?
Holding hands, Iris and Jin Liwei stepped inside the private elevator. Dom ran after them, dressed to the T. He looked even more dressed up than the two of them.
"Ehehehe. Wow, boss and sir boss! You look cute in your matching outfits," Dom, of course, had to comment with sparkling eyes after the elevator door closed behind him. He was a little breathless after running to catch the elevator.
"Thanks." She smiled. "Going to church?"
"Yeah! I'm gonna pray for the success of boss' album, my family back in the Philippines, everyone's good health, and of course for boss and sir boss' relationship. Ehehe. Oh, and world peace! Can't forget about that!"
Her eyes softened, chuckling. "Thank you, Dom. I appreciate it. Have fun with your day off today."
"Thanks, boss! By the way, where are you going?"
"Liwei is taking me out for our first date."
Jin Liwei pulled her close to his side and spoke in a low, dangerous tone, "Hm? What did you call me?"
She stiffened. There was no way she was going to call him that in front of other people, even if it was just Dom.
"Baby girl, didn't we just agree on this? Call me properly. Say it again."
She pressed her lips together. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Then she sighed, giving in to him.
"My darling is taking me out for our first date."
"Good girl." He kissed her forehead.
"Ayiiii!!! So romantic! Oh my God. I need some air!" Dom fanned himself with his hands in a dramatic manner. "Is it getting hot in here or what?"
Iris hid her burning face on Jin Liwei's chest.
"See? I told you it's supposed to be romantic." Jin Liwei stroked his baby girl's head, a smug expression on his handsome face.
Finally, they walked out of the elevator to the main lobby. Dom bid them goodbye outside the building before skipping away to enjoy his day off.
Jin Liwei pulled her by the hand to a gorgeous silver luxury car waiting a few steps away. The door to the driver's seat opened. A man in a black business suit wearing an earpiece and dark sunglasses stepped out, and then walked towards them. It wasn't Xu Tian.
"Master," the man greeted Jin Liwei and gave a brief nod to Iris before handing the car key.
Jin Liwei nodded and received the key.

The man bowed, turned and walked away, and then climbed into the passenger seat of another waiting car.
When the other car drove away, Jin Liwei opened the car door for her. She climbed into the passenger's seat. He closed the door, walked around to the other side, and then climbed into the driver's seat.
Once inside, he leaned over and pulled the seatbelt for her, locking her in place. Then he grabbed her by the neck and gave her a quick, searing kiss.
"Ready?" His voice was husky.
"Yes." The kiss was quick but it already made her breathless.
"Yes what?"
She bit her lip.
"Hm?" He nibbled on the lip she just bit. "Yes what?"
"Yes, darling," she finally whispered.
He grinned and gave her a loud, smacking kiss before putting his own seatbelt. He started the car's engine. Moments later, they were driving away from her condo building.
Along the way, Jin Liwei stopped over by a bistro in response to her hunger complaints. He told her to wait for him in the car as he went inside the bistro by himself. When he returned, he was carrying a couple of simple sandwiches and bottled drinks.
He chuckled when he saw her dismay upon seeing the sandwiches. "Bear with the sandwiches for now, we'll eat lunch at the place we're going to," he explained.
"Oh, okay." She felt better when she heard his promise. She was really feeling hungry. She wanted to eat at home before leaving, but he insisted on leaving right away.
They ate while driving. He had to focus on driving, so she had to feed him. He just opened his mouth like a king while she did all the work of feeding and wiping him. Iris had the niggling feeling that he bought take-out just for this very purpose.
After about an hour of driving, they reached a rural area. There weren't many houses visible from the road. Everywhere they looked were farms, pastures, plantations, open fields and forests.
The area looked very quiet and peaceful, totally different from the bustling city filled with tall buildings and traffic.
There were so few cars driving in this place that at one point, they were the only ones on the road.
Where was he taking her?
They drove for a few more minutes before arriving at a gated property. Tall cypress trees blocked the view from inside.
Jin Liwei lowered his window and spoke to the gate's intercom. A few seconds later, the gate opened automatically and they drove inside.
After going through the cypress forest, Iris finally realized where Jin Liwei was taking her. It was a large farm villa. Strong horses ran inside a large stable. On the other side were barns for the cattle and sheep.
Although the place was technically a farm, the big country mansion sitting majestically at the end of the long paved driveway gave the place a high-class atmosphere. Carefully maintained yet natural-looking gardens were spread throughout the entire property, especially near the mansion.
Iris could see plantations of different fruit trees. There was also a lake with a dock of small boats.
It was a beautiful place.
She turned to Jin Liwei with excited eyes.
"Like what you see?" he asked when he felt her looking at him.
"Yes!" She gave him a bright smile. She almost couldn't wait to step out of the car and explore the entire farm villa.
"Yes what?"
"Yes, darling." She was feeling so excited that she forgot her unwillingness in calling him this endearment.
The car suddenly stopped.
"Eh?" She looked at him in confusion.
Why did he stop? They were still along the driveway. Were they getting off here?
"Kiss me, baby girl," he demanded. His eyes were dark with desire.

Chapter 74 - Wild Iris
Iris blinked at Jin Liwei, filled with disbelief.
Wasn't he being too unreasonably demanding? Couldn't the man wait? They were almost at their destination and he decided out of the blue to have a stopover because he wanted to kiss? Was he so hungry for a kiss that he had to stop whatever he was doing just to get it instantly?
Just watch her. She was going to rebuke this selfish man. This couldn't go on. What did he think he was? A spoiled kid?
His lips parted a bit, looking moist after he subconsciously licked them. He gave her such a sexy look that her defences totally crumbled. Before she could even think, her hands already moved on their own and pulled his head for a greedy kiss. She completely forgot her earlier intention of lecturing him.
He allowed her to lead the kiss this time. She wasn't as aggressive or as rough as him, but her boldness and natural sensuality pleased him greatly. She was becoming more and more skilled the more times they kiss each other.
As the kiss grew more intense, her desire for him overpowered her. She fumbled for her seatbelt and wanted to climb over his lap. Her inner Wild Iris kicked aside and locked up her inner Lady Iris in chains. It felt like a hungry beast possessed her. She wanted to devour the man before her.
Jin Liwei felt the change in her. Of course, he was delighted. It meant that his baby girl wanted him as much as he wanted her. Her obvious desire fed his hunger for her. He wanted to rip the clothes off her body. However, he still retained a tiny presence of mind unlike her. He remembered where they were.
This was their first date.
"Baby girl, we need to stop," he managed to say with great difficulty.
She ignored him. She successfully unlocked her seatbelt and squeezed her small frame between his body and the steering wheel, all the while continuing to kiss him. Astride his lap, her body moved against his body in an enticing way, almost making him go crazy. Her mouth moved down to his neck, sucking and licking. Her hands slipped under his shirt and groped his abs and chest. She moved following her instinct.
He gasped and fought hard to regain his mind. "Whoa, baby. Easy."
He groaned when he felt her shift forward so that she directly sat on top his already rock-hard bulge. His mind almost blanked out.
"Baby, calm down. Enough!" He gently but firmly pushed her away.
"No. I need..." She moaned as she started to rock on top of him.
Gritting his teeth hard to stop his hips from moving as well, he reached up and held her face between his hands. He looked directly at her dark eyes. "Baby, we can't right now. Listen to me. Someone's coming."
Finally, his words managed to register. "Mn? What?"
She reluctantly turned her head to the front of the car. Indeed, someone was coming towards them. Her mind instantly cleared up.
"Damnation!" she unusually cursed, hurriedly getting off his lap. "Ouch!" Her back hit the steering wheel hard in her rush. She dove back to her seat and pulled down the visor mirror in front of her.
"Careful, baby."
"Quick, check me! Do I look okay? Will he know what we were doing? For goodness' sake, fix your clothes! Your hair is a mess. Oh no."
He chuckled, watching her flustered and anxious self.
She straightened her clothes and retied her ponytail.
"Relax. Even if he knows, he won't say anything. Besides, you're my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend. There's nothing wrong with us kissing each other."
Iris paused. Right, they were officially in a relationship now. What they were doing was supposed to be normal. So what if she kissed her own boyfriend and sat on his lap? She had every right to do so. It wasn't like they were naked and having sex out in public for all eyes to see. She stopped worrying too much once she thought things through this way.
Seeing her calm down, he exhaled in relief. The tightness under his jeans was uncomfortable, but he reminded himself that today was their first date. He had to focus on romancing his woman during this date, so that she wouldn't think that all he was after was her body. Although he really liked her body very much as well.
Now that she was clearheaded, she was shocked at herself. She completely lost any rational thoughts and lost control of her desire. Would she lose control like this with him every time? The idea scared her. Was this normal? She needed to search this up.
Both of them had no idea what happened. At first, it was just him demanding a kiss because he felt too excited when he heard her call him "darling" without her usual unwillingness. But then the situation suddenly evolved to her losing control and attacking him instead.
A tall, thin man with a gentle face walked towards the car. He wore a simple polo shirt and trousers and looked to be in his early thirties, about the same age as Jin Liwei. He was still a distance away from them.
Jin Liwei took out his phone and called someone.
Iris saw the man ahead of them stop walking to answer his phone.
"Eldest Brother, it's me," Jin Liwei spoke to the phone. He opened the car window, stuck his head out and waved at the man.

Chapter 75 - Brothers
The man waved back.
"Stay there. No need to walk so far to meet us here," Jin Liwei spoke to the man on the phone. "We'll meet you there."
After the call, they drove and parked in front of the mansion. The man Jin Liwei called "Eldest Brother" waited for them below the steps, a welcoming smile on his face.
"Stay there. I'll open your door," Jin Liwei told her.
After both of them got out of the car, he held her hand and led her to the man waiting for them.
"Third Brother, you're finally here," the tall, thin man greeted them. He had a very amiable aura.
"Eldest Brother, thank you for having us," Jin Liwei answered.
The two gave each other a one-armed manly hug, patting each other on their backs.
"Ahaha! What are you saying? You sound like a stranger. My brothers are always welcome in my home." He turned a curious look at Iris. "And this beautiful lady is?"
Jin Liwei wrapped his arm around her tiny waist before introducing her. "Eldest Brother, this is Long Xiulan, my girlfriend."
A surprised expression appeared on the man's face, even though he already suspected as much, seeing the couple's matching outfits and the way Jin Liwei clung to her. Hmm... Who would've thought?
"Baby, this is Lin Yehan. He owns this farm villa. He's one of my best friends."
She stepped forward with a graceful smile and offered her hand. Her actions were natural, smooth and elegant. Very much like a proper lady.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Yehan accepted her hand and shook it, silently impressed at her noble bearing. "Hello, Xiulan. A pleasure to meet you too. Welcome to my villa."
"Thank you. Your place is beautiful."
Jin Liwei cleared his throat and pulled her close to his body, breaking their handshake.
Lin Yehan inwardly snickered.
"In our group, we call him Eldest Brother. You can call him Eldest Brother too," Jin Liwei told her.
"Yes, that's right. Please don't be a stranger. Seeing that you're our Third Brother's girlfriend, I would be more than happy if you call me Eldest Brother as well."
Iris looked at Jin Liwei. Seeing him nod at her, she turned and smiled at Lin Yehan. "Alright. Thank you, Eldest Brother."
The three entered the mansion. The interiors were all wood and big stone bricks, giving a rustic elegance to the place. Although the house was massive, it still felt like home; warm and cozy.
"I suggest to eat lunch first before touring the villa," Lin Yehan said.
They agreed with him, especially Iris who was looking forward to finally eating a proper meal.
They were about to head off to lunch when they heard a car horn outside.
Lin Yehan frowned. "Sorry. Wait here for a moment. Let me see who it is." Then he went outside.
Jin Liwei embraced Iris while they waited. He pointed at some things in the living area and shared some interesting stories about them.
"Third Bro! I heard you're coming here today. Where are you?" A loud male voice called out from the entrance.
"Stop shouting, Fourth Brother. Third Brother is not deaf," another male voice spoke.
Lin Yehan: "Hai. Why are you two here today?"
Jin Liwei scowled while Iris tilted her head to the side. The first voice sounded familiar to her.
"Ahahaha! Why are you being like this, Eldest Bro? Aren't we brothers always welcome here? You mentioned the other day that Third Bro will be coming here today so here we are! We haven't hung out together for a while soâ"
"Your presence is not needed here today. Leave." Jin Liwei's cold voice was like a whip cutting mercilessly at the voice's owner.
The three men ahead stopped. Lin Yehan smiled helplessly, feeling a little guilty.
"Third Bro, how can you be so heartless? We just want to...eh? Xiao Xiu, is that you? Why are you here?"
"Teacher Yu?" Iris exclaimed in surprise. Then she turned to Jin Liwei. "Oh, right. You mentioned that Teacher Yu Mo is your friend."
Lin Yehan: "Ah? What? You know each other?"
Yu Mo: "Of course we know each other. Xiao Xiu is my beloved Systema student."
Jin Liwei's face turned black, his eyes cold; his voice low and dangerous. "Xiao Xiu? Beloved?"
The two new arrivals finally noticed that Jin Liwei and Iris wore matching outfits and that their arms were around each other's waists.
Yu Mo: "Eh? Xiao Xiu, why are you with Third Bro? And why are you both dressed like that? Wait, don't tell me..."
Jin Liwei: "Go away. I'm here on a date with my girlfriend."
Yu Mo: "G-girlfriend? Ah what? Ahahaha! I think there's something wrong with my ears today. Maybe I forgot to clean them."
Lin Yehan looked at his stupid friend and shook his head. "Hai. Good luck."
The other man who also just arrived stepped forward. He had a similar cold appearance like Jin Liwei, but looked more approachable. His sharp eyes looked amused. He gave a slight smile and extended a hand to Iris. "Hello. I'm Wang Yingjie. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Long Xiulan," she smiled at him and shook his hand.
Jin Liwei pulled her to him again, breaking the handshake. He nodded at Wang Yingjie. "Second Brother."
Wang Yingjie: "Third Brother, you hid her well. We had no idea that you already have a girlfriend."
Yu Mo: "F*ck! Are you for real? You're really Third Bro's girlfriend? Xiao Xiu, why didn't you tell me?"
Iris: "I didn't know that Teacher Yu and Liwei are friendsâ"
Jin Liwei: "Hm? What did you call me?"
No way. Oh no no no! She was sort of alright saying it in front of Dom, but not in front of all these people she just met. Absolutely no way.
Jin Liwei: "Baby girl, what are you supposed to call me again? Hm? We already talked about this, didn't we?"
Yu Mo: "Hey, Third Bro! Are you bullying my beloved student?"
Jin Liwei glared at him so viciously that Yu Mo immediately shut up, feeling cold sweat on his back.
Jin Liwei: "Say it again. Properly this time. Come on, baby girl. Don't be shy. These are all my brothers."
She pursed her lips at him.
He kissed her forehead, encouraging her, but his eyes remained insistent.
Iris: "I didn't know that Teacher Yu and...and my...my darling are friends..."
This was so stupid! If only she wasn't meeting his brothers for the first time, she would've already punched Jin Liwei's face.

Chapter 76 Sister - in
Jin Liwei was able to coax Iris by persuading her that there was nothing to be embarrassed about in front of his brothers. His brothers were also now her brothers.
She finally calmed down and began to chat naturally with everyone.
Dismayed, Jin Liwei tried to shoo them away but they pretended that they didn't hear him, even when he was already being so direct, blatantly telling them to go the f*ck away. They may be his best friends, his brothers, but at the moment, they were all annoying flies buzzing around his beautiful girlfriend.
To his three brothers, this was such a rare moment. Their Third Brother finally got himself a girlfriend! The one among them who never showed any interest in women before and turned murderous whenever someone attempted to seduce him or even just flirted with him. Deep within their hearts, they even suspected that their Third Brother might be bent the other way but of course, nobody dared to voice this suspicion unless they wanted to die.
Yu Mo: "Xiao Xiu, Xiao Xiu! Tell Teacher how you and Third Bro met each other. Come on, we want to know!"
Iris: "Uh, we met at a hotelâ"
Yu Mo: "What?! Hotel?! That fast?!"
Iris: "âlobby. Wait, what?"
Jin Liwei's scowl was so ugly that it alarmed Lin Yehan.
Lin Yehan laughed unnaturally and knocked Yu Mo on the head. "Wait for people to finish talking first."
Yu Mo: "Oh, lobby! Ahahaha! Of course you met at a hotel lobby! Lobbies are a great way to meet people. Go on, go on."
Jin Liwei: "Enough. Leave us alone. My girlfriend and I are on a date."
Yu Mo: "But Third Bro! We haven't seen each other for so long! And this is the first time we're meeting your girlfriend...well, not my first time meeting her because we see each other every week, but this is the first time I'm meeting her as your girlfriend. You know what I mean?"
Lin Yehan: "Let's go. Let's not disturb the two of them anymore."
Yu Mo: "But Eldest Bro!"
Wang Yingjie: "Xiulan, are we bothering you two?"
Jin Liwei: "Yes, you are all bothering us."
Iris: "No, of course not."
Jin Liwei's expression was so scary that Yu Mo subconsciously stepped back. Damn it! He was a martial arts expert but in front of his Third Bro, he felt like a weak little kid.
Iris looked up at Jin Liwei. "Why don't we let them join us? Your brothers are already here and it's rude that we're driving them away."
Jin Liwei: "No. They're the rude ones for disturbing our date."
Iris: "How about we make an exception for today? I won't be at peace if we just drive them away. Besides, we're the ones borrowing Eldest Brother's villa."
Jin Liwei gave her an unwilling look.
Iris: "Please, Liwei...darling?"
His eyes immediately lit up. "Say it again."
Iris: "Darling. Let's spend time with your brothers today. Okay?"
Jin Liwei: "Again."
Iris: "Darling."
Her voice sounded robotic saying the word but it nevertheless was like music to his ears.
Jin Liwei: "Hmm...fine. But you have to give me a kiss first, baby."
She hesitated and felt the stares of his friends. Seeing Jin Liwei's expectant look, she relented.
Oh well. They already knew that she was his girlfriend anyway, so there was nothing wrong with seeing the two of them kiss.
She stood on her tippy-toes and pressed her lips quickly on his mouth. His arms circled around her waist and lifted her up for better access.
Yu Mo: "Ah, my eyes!"
After the kiss, Iris was a little breathless while Jin Liwei had a pleased expression on his face. He turned to his brothers.
Jin Liwei: "Fine. You may join us but no touching my girlfriend."
Lin Yehan: "Ahahaha!"
Yu Mo: "What are we, stupid? You think we want to die?"
Wang Yingjie: "Alright then. Everything is now settled. So what shall we do now?"
Lin Yehan: "Let's eat lunch."
Yu Mo: "Ah, perfect timing. I'm starving! Let's go. Come, Third Sister-in-law!"
Iris frowned. "I'm not your sister-in-law."
Jin Liwei stiffened beside her. She looked at him, confused at his reaction.
Yu Mo: "Ah? Of course you're our sister-in-law. You're Third Bro's girlfriend."
Iris: "That's not how it works, Teacher Yu. I'm his girlfriend, not his wife."
"Enough!" Jin Liwei snarled. He crushed her into a tight hug.
"What is wrong with you?!" Iris couldn't understand him. She wanted to stomp her foot on his leg. However, she stopped herself. They were in front of his brothers, after all. She would give him face in front of them...but only this time.
The three men looked at each other, staying quiet, as they watched their Third Brother throwing a tantrum. They wished their Third Sister-in-law good luck in their hearts.
Seeing her controlling an angry expression, Jin Liwei realized he went too far. "Sorry, baby. I didn't mean it. Let's go eat?"
She ignored him, looking around the place instead.
Lin Yehan cleared his throat and tried to diffuse the awkward atmosphere. He instructed his staff first before leading the group out to the lakeside. They arrived at a large wooden pergola with crawling grape vines all over it, providing a dense cool shade from the sun.
The view was breathtaking. The clear lake reflected the blue sky and the white clouds.
There was a kitchenette under the pergola with a granite countertop, sink and stove. There was also a big barbeque grill. The dining table was long and wide with a vase of flowers freshly picked from the garden. The group sat around the table on comfortable cushioned seats.
Jin Liwei continued to coax his sulking baby girl by hugging her and giving little kisses all over her face, hair, neck and her hands.
Iris slowly melted and responded to his tender ministrations. She was just too attracted to this man. She held his face with a delicate hand and couldn't help but shower light kisses all over his lips and jaw. She sighed in satisfaction as he rubbed her back, comforting her.
The two completely forgot that they weren't alone.
As for the other three men, they were forced to eat all the dogfood this couple kept on throwing at them. They couldn't believe that the amorous man in front of them was the same person as their cold and indifferent Third Brother.

Chapter 77 - Don't Tell Me She's Iris Long
The staff arrived to deliver fresh meat cuts of chicken, pork, lamb and beef. There were also fresh corn and vegetables like eggplants, zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms. All of these were for grilling.
The four brothers started grilling the meat, the corn and the vegetables themselves, while the staff only assisted them by washing, seasoning, and skewering.
Jin Liwei blocked Iris' attempt to help out with the grilling. What if she got burned? He would end up murdering the grill.
Seeing her desire to help, Lin Yehan suggested that she mix the leafy vegetable salad in the bowl instead. She happily went to work.
Finally, the food was ready and they began eating. Everything was delicious, especially since they were all fresh from the farm.
While eating, Iris listened to the brothers chatting happily about good times.
'It must be nice to have a group of best friends,' she thought.
She realized that she didn't have any friends, except for Dom and her own staff at home. However, they were her employees and as such, could not really defy her even in just a joking manner like friends sometimes do. She got along with them but at the end of the day, their employer-employee relationship limited the level of their friendship.
"What's wrong?" Jin Liwei asked, noticing the lonely expression in her eyes.
She shook her head.

"Hm? Tell me."
She was quiet for a few moments. He waited patiently.
"I'm just a little envious that you have such great friends," she finally said in a soft voice, barely audible. "I don't have any."
His chest constricted after hearing her words. He immediately pulled her in a tight embrace, kissing her head, and rubbing her back.
"Listen to me. I'm your lover and I'll also be your friend."
She smiled at him. "Thank you."
Yu Mo: "Okay, okay. That's enough lovey-dovey. Xiao Xiu, Teacher is hurt! We see each other twice every week and yet you still don't consider me as your friend? Ah! I'm heartbroken!"
Wang Yingjie: "Xiulan, I already consider you as a friend. I hope you don't mind."
Lin Yehan: "That's right. You're someone important to our Third Brother, so that means that you're also important to us. You are now our sister and we are your brothers. From now on, we're friends."
Iris blinked and took a deep breath. Her chest suddenly felt tight.
"Baby, all of us are your friends now." Jin Liwei told her, his eyes looked serious and sincere.
"Thank you," she said, smiling brightly at them.
The four men momentarily stopped breathing as they were blinded by her beautiful smile.
Jin Liwei frowned slightly and blocked his brothers' view with his body. Then he stood up.
"Let's take a walk," he suddenly announced, offering his hand to her.
"Okay." She placed her hand over his and let him pull her up.
"Good idea!" Yu Mo exclaimed and also stood up.
Jin Liwei glared at him.
Lin Yehan pulled his Fourth Brother back down to his seat and knocked on his head. "Learn to read the atmosphere."
"Let the lovers enjoy some alone time," Wang Yingjie added.
"Please excuse us, big brothers," Iris said sweetly before she was pulled away by Jin Liwei.
The three men watched the couple walk away in their matching outfits and dark aviator sunglasses. The two held hands and frequently kissed each other as they strolled by the lakeshore.
"Is it just me or Xiulan looks familiar?" Wang Yingjie suddenly commented.
Lin Yehan: "Yeah. I have a feeling I've seen her somewhere before."
Yu Mo: "Of course you've seen her before. She's a celebrity."
Lin Yehan: "Ah, what? Is there a celebrity named Long Xiulan?"
Wang Yingjie: "A celebrity named Long...wait. Oh!"
Yu Mo: "Now you recognize her?"
Wang Yingjie: "Yes."
Lin Yehan: "What? Tell me."
Wang Yingjie: "She's Iris Long, isn't she?"
Yu Mo: "Yup! The very one."
Lin Yehan: "Iris Long who? Iris...sounds familiar. Huh? Wait. That doesn't sound right. Don't tell me she's Iris Long, that scandalous starlet?"
Yu Mo: "Eldest Bro, not too loud! What if Third Bro hears you? You wanna die?"
Wang Yingjie: "Hmm..."
Lin Yehan: "No way. You're kidding me. Third Brother hooked up with that Iris Long? Didn't she used to chase after Little Chonglin before? There are even rumours of their affair and even her getting pregnant. And now she's hooked up with Third Brother? What is he thinking? Is he insane?"
Yu Mo: "Aiya...I've known Xiao Xiu for quite a while now since I've been teaching her Systema. I can confidently say that she's not at all like what the rumours say about her. She's such a serious and elegant lady that I even fell for her a little, but I can tell that she has no interest in me. And I follow a strict code of ethics not to pursue my students. Don't tell Third Bro or he'll kill me."
Lin Yehan: "I heard that she was comatose for a year?"
Yu Mo: "Yeah. In fact, one of the reasons why she wanted to learn Systema is to strengthen her body because it became too weak after the coma. And indeed, when we just started our classes back then, she tired so easily that she would almost faint. But what's amazing was she never quit. She's actually one of my best students. I only need to show her something once and she'd be able to do it."
Lin Yehan: "I think that their relationship is too suspicious. I know for a fact that Third Brother used to have her monitored because of Little Chonglin. I don't understand why she and Third Brother suddenly became lovers. If I had known that she's that Iris Long, I wouldn't have been this welcoming to her. She better not have any bad intentions. Even if Third Brother hates me, I will destroy her."
The usually gentle Lin Yehan had a fierce and dangerous expression on his face.

Chapter 78 - Inside Your Mouth
The atmosphere among the three brothers sitting under the pergola turned a little heavy. They continued to watch the couple by the lakeshore who were now intensely making out. Their Third Brother was pawing all over his girlfriend's body.
Wang Yingjie: "Hmm. I think that we should trust Third Brother's judgment. He's the smartest out of all of us. We all know that he's not someone who's easily deceived. There must be something about the girl that hooked him so much. I don't think she's a bad person. All of us had great impressions of Xiulan when we didn't know that she's actually Iris Long."
Yu Mo: "Second Bro is right. Don't judge Xiao Xiu based on hearsay, Eldest Bro. Besides, didn't we just pledge our friendship to her? Are we going to take back our words? Real men don't go back on our words without a valid reason."
Lin Yehan: "I didn't know that she's Iris Long then."
Wang Yingjie: "I personally think Xiulan is a great lady. I'll only judge based on what I see with my own eyes."
Yu Mo: "Well, I know that Xiao Xiu is a great lady. If she wasn't my student or Third Bro's girl, I would totally pursue her. But don't tell Third Bro. I don't wanna die yet."
Lin Yehan: "Hai. Fine, fine. I actually also think that she's a great lady based on today's meeting. But I'll keep up my caution just in case. We'll see how their relationship goes. I hope she's not acting and really cares about our Third Brother, not just using him for her own benefit."
Yu Mo: "Xiao Xiu isn't that kind of person."
The three men gradually moved on from the topic and started chatting about other things. When the couple returned to the pergola, the group all stood up and began touring Iris around the farm villa.
First they walked around a portion of the vegetable farm. Rows upon rows of different vegetables were planted neatly as far as the eyes could see. They showed her how to pick cucumbers, eggplants and potatoes. They placed their harvests in a basket, so she and Jin Liwei could take them home later.
Next, they visited the nearest part of the fruit tree plantation. There were guavas, mangoes, lychees, apricots, pomegranates, wampees, and figs. A little farther, they reached the passion fruits, dragon fruits and even the durians which Iris had never tried before.
"Xiao Xiu, do you want to try durian?" Yu Mo asked with a mischievous expression.
"Absolutely not!" Jin Liwei immediately rejected the idea.
"I heard that it's smelly. Is it really?" Iris asked.
Lin Yehan: "Yes, but it's delicious. My farm can only produce a very small amount of durian fruits because we can't grow them easily in this country. And we can't even guarantee that they'll all bear fruit. Caring for the trees in this type of climate takes a lot of effort and even science. That's why I don't sell them. They're only for personal consumption. "
Yu Mo: "Try it, Xiao Xiu!"
Wang Yingjie: "It's good to experience something even just once."
Iris: "Okay. I'll try durian."
Jin Liwei: "Baby, don't."
Iris: "But I want to."
Jin Liwei sighed.
Lin Yehan called one of his workers and instructed him. The worker picked up a durian fruit which had fallen under a tree and then hacked at it with a large curved blade. The durian cracked into two.
Iris looked at the fruit curiously. The outside was hard and spiky. Jin Liwei wouldn't allow her to touch the spikes. The inside looked like creamy-looking yellow flesh.
Yu Mo: "Try smelling it first."
Jin Liwei scowled at him.
She cautiously edged near the fruit and sniffed.
Her whole body stiffened. Oh!
She covered her nose and mouth. She ran fast and dived into Jin Liwei's embrace.
The others laughed loudly at her reaction.
Jin Liwei glared at them as he held her tightly in his arms. How dare these hooligans bully his baby girl?
Iris groaned softly. "Are you sure the one you picked is not rotten? Is that even edible?"
Yu Mo: "Ahahaha! Oh, my stomach hurts! Ahahaha!"
Wang Yingjie: "You're laughing too much. Pft!"
Lin Yehan: "Xiulan, do you still want to taste it?"
Jin Liwei: "No need. She doesn't want to."
Iris: "I'll try.
Jin Liwei: "Baby, don't force yourself."
Iris: "It's just a fruit. It's not like it's a bomb or something dangerous like that. Eldest Brother, please let me try."
With clear plastic gloves on, Iris broke a small piece of the yellow flesh. It felt soft. She had to take several deep breaths before she quickly placed the flesh in her mouth. She fought against the urge to gag.
Yu Mo: "Xiao Xiu, how is it? Tell us!"
The horrendous smell seeped inside her mouth and even to her nasal cavity. She almost vomited. She cautiously chewed the soft, creamy flesh. After a few moments, her eyes lit up.
"Oh! You're right, Eldest Brother. It's smelly but delicious," she finally said.
"Glad that you like it." Lin Yehan smiled gently. He was trying to find faults in her, especially after learning that she was Iris Long, the scandalous starlet. However, he couldn't pick anything against her so far. She acted so natural and elegant, even cute, that he couldn't really bring himself to dislike her. He would need to observe her further and more carefully. After all, she was a showbiz person and most of their kind were natural actors.
Yu Mo: "Aaaw. How boring!"
Iris turned to Jin Liwei. "Do you want to have a taste, too?"
"Yeah," he replied.
"Okay, let me take some for you." She didn't notice his eyes darkening with desire. She was about to take off another piece from the durian using her plastic gloves when her face was suddenly grabbed.
Jin Liwei covered her mouth, swallowing her gasp of surprise. His tongue quickly entered and gave a thorough sweep inside her sweet mouth.
"Mmmn. Delicious," he murmured after he was done tasting her.
Yu Mo: "Ah, my eyes are burning! This is too much, Third Bro!"
The couple, of course, ignored him.
"Smelly?" she asked, breathless.
"Inside your mouth, no."

Chapter 79 - Meh!
The other men coughed hearing Jin Liwei's super cringey honey words. They almost choked. They couldn't believe that such words came out of their cold and indifferent Third Brother's mouth.
"Let's eat, too," Lin Yehan finally suggested.
The brothers had always liked eating durian, so they wouldn't reject the offer. Iris ate a couple more bites of the stinky fruit before stopping. The men, on the other hand, finished the entire fruit by themselves in no time.
Even Jin Liwei ate a lot, and then gave another deep kiss to Iris, forcibly making the two of them share the pungent smell and taste.
She was already used to the smell by that time, so she didn't mind it anymore.
They drank water and rinsed their mouths, but still couldn't remove the smell. Iris opened her leather backpack and took out a pack of mints. She shared with everyone and the stink in their mouths decreased a little.
Afterwards, they walked to the animals. There were chickens, pigs and cattle. Iris was very amazed at the egg production. She listened intently to Lin Yehan as he explained the process. She asked intelligent questions, impressing him. More points for her!
Next were the goats. They entered the tall and sturdy pen. Someone handed a milk bottle to Iris for her to experience feeding the baby goats.
She stretched her arm and fed the kids, maintaining a good distance from them. She felt apprehensive but thought that the little goats looked (kind of) cute drinking from the bottle in her hand.
Jin Liwei took photos of her with his phone.
Then one of the workers called for Lin Yehan. The other men looked interested so they followed their Eldest Brother as he discussed something with the worker at the far corner of the pen. They left Iris alone.
She continued feeding the baby goats, when suddenly she noticed a big goat standing a few metres away from her with very long and sharp-looking horns. The goat stared at her with unblinking eyes while stomping its front hooves. To her, it looked like it was glaring at her. She felt spooked.
She glanced quickly at Jin Liwei and the others, but they were still busy talking with the worker.
The men, absorbed in their discussion, were suddenly interrupted by a high and piercing scream. The sound was so blood-curdling that Jin Liwei felt his heart stop for a moment.
Their heads snapped to one direction and saw Iris running for dear life before impressively jumping high and climbing the tall fence. She stayed on top, lying on her stomach and hugging the fence like her life depended on it.
"Whoa, she's like Spiderman," the worker commented when he saw her quick and agile movements.
"As expected of my beloved student," Yu Mo spoke with pride.
Jin Liwei immediately ran to her, his heart pounding.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Aaaaah! Noooo! Get it away from me! It wants to kill me!"
"What?! Who wants to kill you?"
Iris refused to look at the goats again, pointing randomly with a shaking finger instead. "The goat! The goat wants to kill me!"
Jin Liwei: "..."
Yu Mo: "Pft! Bwahahahaha! Ahahahaha!"
Wang Yingjie: "Don't laugh too much...Pft!"
Lin Yehan was able to suppress his laughter unlike his brothers, but it took a lot of effort. He walked over to the couple.
Jin Liwei's mouth twitched but didn't dare laugh at his baby girl. He cast a vicious glare at his imbecile brothers instead.
"Nobody wants to kill you," he spoke to her in a gentle, coaxing tone. "Come, I'll help you down."
"No!"
"Don't worry, baby girl. I'll protect you."
Iris calmed down a little hearing his voice. She turned her head and saw him extending his arms up to her. Reluctantly, she reached down and started climbing down from the top of the fence. He caught her in his arms.
Her eyes caught the evil goat running to her direction again. She screamed at the top of her lungs. The pitch was so high that it was impressive. Indeed, she was a singer. She quickly climbed up Jin Liwei's body until her legs coiled tightly around his upper chest.
With her boobs on his face, Jin Liwei couldn't help but grin. Good thing that she couldn't see his expression.
"See? See that? The evil goat wants to kill me! It's still chasing me!"
Yu Mo: "Aiyo! I can't take it anymore. Ahahahaha!"
Lin Yehan finally reached them. He reached down for the big goat and patted it. "Xiulan, calm down. The goat would never kill you. It's chasing you because it likes you. Don't be afraid."
Eldest Brother's words made sense and she started to feel embarrassed of her overreaction. Indeed, how could a domesticated goat kill her? How ridiculous. She was about to ask Jin Liwei to put her down when...
"Meh!"
The evil sound almost made her soul fly out of her body. She shrieked again and closed her eyes tightly. She tapped Jin Liwei, begging him to exit the pen.
"Oh my god! Please oh please. Liwei darling please get me out here! Ah! Hurry up!" In her fear, she forgot her embarrassment in calling him this way.
Jin Liwei felt so happy hearing her call him "darling" that he felt like he was floating in the clouds. Added to her generous boobs squishing him on the face, he felt like he was in paradise. To prolong the moment, he walked slowly like an astronaut on the moon towards the pen's gate.
Once outside, Iris climbed off him and sat on the ground, catching her breath. Jin Liwei felt a little disappointed but became concerned when he saw her pale face.
"Baby, are you alright?"
She focused on her breathing. "Give me a moment."
Everyone exited the pen and looked at her with concern, but amusement still danced in their eyes.
After a few minutes, she finally calmed down and regained her rosy complexion. She tilted her head, thinking deeply. Then she looked up at Jin Liwei.
"I...I have a fear of goats...a little."

Chapter 80 - Bullseye
"Meh!"
Iris almost jumped out of her skin. What an evil sound.
She was trying to control herself and stop shaking but she couldn't. She felt embarrassed and ridiculous.
"How about we leave this place?" Wang Yingjie suggested upon seeing Iris becoming pale once again. His doctor's instinct told him that she was not faking it. If they stayed longer here, she might even faint.
Jin Liwei immediately scooped his baby girl up in his arms and carried her away princess-style.
Iris wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face on his shoulder. She felt so embarrassed.
"Xiulan, would you like to see some bunnies?" Lin Yehan asked in a gentle voice.
Yu Mo: "Maybe she has a fear of bunnies too!"
Iris felt insulted. "I do not! Teacher Yu, stop speaking nonsense."
Jin Liwei glared at his stupid Fourth Brother. Yu Mo immediately shut his mouth.
So off they went to the bunnies.
And indeed, she didn't have any fear of bunnies. She immediately forgot about her earlier embarrassment as she hugged and petted the fluffy fur balls. She took out her phone and snapped photos of them. Jin Liwei also took endless photos of his happy baby girl with his phone.
However, when she became too engrossed with the bunnies that she stopped paying attention to her boyfriend, Jin Liwei suddenly wanted to wrench the little furry monsters from his baby girl's embrace and throw them far, far away. How dare they act cute and hog all his baby girl's attention? But seeing the happiness and smile on her face, he controlled his murderous intent.
After much coaxing from Jin Liwei, Iris reluctantly left the adorable bunnies. The group then headed to the villa's shooting range.
They explained to Iris that Lin Yehan was a former sports shooting athlete who even competed professionally on the national level. Now he retired but would occasionally coach aspiring young shooters whenever his mood and schedule permitted it.
Additionally, he was also a hunting enthusiast. His farm villa was surrounded by a dense forest abundant with wildlife. The brothers all owned hunting licences so whenever it was hunting season, they would head to their Eldest Brother's farm villa and bond with each other while hunting.
When they arrived at Lin Yehan's shooting range, Iris' eyes contracted. Everything looked so professional. As expected from a former shooting athlete. Her expression momentarily darkened as memories of her previous life flashed in her mind.
"Xiulan, have you tried shooting a gun before?" Lin Yehan asked her.
She nodded before thinking.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really? When?" Yu Mo asked.
She realized her mistake but quickly smoothed out her expression and replied with nonchalance. "Some years ago. I don't really remember it that much. My father has a friend from the military and he brought me along to the compound's shooting range for a visit."
"That makes sense," Wang Yingjie said.
After all, Long Tengfei was a man of power and influence in his own right. It was only expected that he had friends from different sectors, including the military.
She didn't exactly lie. The original Iris Long was indeed brought along by Long Tengfei to a military compound before to visit her father's friend. Iris just sat there along with the other kids, all of them bored out of their minds, as their fathers discussed adult matters while shooting guns at the range. She only agreed to come when her father promised to buy her the latest handbag from one of her favourite luxury brands. In exchange, she had to chat with his friends' kids. In the end, the kids just ignored each other.
Iris inwardly sighed in relief after hearing Wang Yingjie, but then noticed that Jin Liwei was looking at her with unreadable eyes. She gave him her most innocent look.
Moments later, they were all equipped with eyes and ear protectors.
Iris chose a pistol. She was unmoving as she held and stared at the gun in her hands. Her eyes were a little unfocused, lost in her own memories.
Jin Liwei was about to walk to her, intending to teach and guide her, but Lin Yehan silently gestured for him to stop.
The men all watched as she finally moved. Their eyes widened in surprise when her aura suddenly changed.
Calm, steady, focused...even dangerous.
She settled in a stable stance before lifting the pistol with what looked like ease and familiarity.
Lin Yehan nodded as he watched her smooth and confident movements.
Bang!
Bullseye.
Yu Mo: "Wow! Xiao Xiu, that'sâ"
Bang! Bang!
Yu Mo: "âamazing...eh?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yu Mo: "What the hell?"
Wang Yingjie inhaled sharply.
Lin Yehan's eyes were wide and sparkling, his body trembling with excitement.
Jin Liwei's expression was unreadable, but his eyes were sharp as he stared deeply at his baby girl.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every single bullet hit the bullseye. In addition, all bullets exited accurately through the hole pierced by the first bullet. There was just one small clean hole on the target.
Iris finally lowered the pistol and removed her ear protector. She turned to the others and found them all staring at her like she was a ghost.
"Uh...I'm done...You can all start shooting if you want..." she said, a bit confused by their intense stares.
Yu Mo: "Holy! Xiao Xiu, oh my god! You're so cool! When did you learn to shoot like that? You're like Lara Croft! As expected of my beloved student!"
