Chapter 251 - Not Soundproofed

Looking like a cat who ate the canary, Iris gave Jin Liwei a sloppy kiss on the mouth before sliding off from on top of him to lie beside him on the bed. Stretching her body in a lazy manner, she pulled the duvet over them and curled into a comfortable position.

"Mmm...that felt amazing. Going back to sleep...still early..." And with that, she closed her eyes and slept with a pleased smile on her face.

Jin Liwei blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She finished using his body so now that she was satisfied, she was going to sleep? Also the way she curled herself to sleep after getting what she wanted was so much like Ice Cream. They were becoming more and more alike as time went by.

’Just like a real mother and daughter,’ he thought, chuckling.

The thought made him pause. An image of her pregnant with his child appeared in his mind. He smiled, feeling warm at the beautiful image. He was looking forward to building a family with her.

’Someday.’

He showered kisses all over her face. Of course she didn’t wake up as she was already in deep sleep.

The sky outside was still dark. He looked at the time. 5:47 AM.

It seemed that he slept the whole time since yesterday. He felt recharged and refreshed. He hadn’t felt this well-rested since his baby girl left him. Now he was brimming with energy and happiness, especially after such an amazing wake-up surprise.

His lips lifted into a smug smile remembering what just happened. His baby girl was wearing pyjamas before removing them, so she must have been sleeping beside him. But then she woke up at dawn and began taking advantage of him while he slept.

Not that he was complaining. In fact, he loved it! He wished it would become a regular thing. He chuckled at the thought.

After such a highly-stimulating morning activity, he was now fully awake. He rose from the bed and saw that someone delivered his small suitcase to the room.

Seeing some folded towels on a nearby chair, he took a small one to wipe his sem*n from his abdomen. He also returned to the bed and wiped his baby girl. Then he took a large bath towel, wrapped it around his waist and headed outside the room.

The rooms didn’t have their own bathrooms. Only Grandpa Lu’s master bedroom had its own small personal one. So Jin Liwei used the bathroom he remembered opening the day before.

Later...

Freshly showered and clothed, he went downstairs to the kitchen. He could already smell the strong aroma of coffee.

"There you are, my boy!" Grandpa Lu’s voice boomed by the coffee maker. "Good morning! You look much better! Very good!"

"Good morning, Grandpa Lu. Yes, I feel so much better."

"I bet." A teasing glint flashed in the elder’s eyes. "I was going to invite you for a jog outside—it’s nice to run when it’s cold—but it seems that you already had a vigorous workout so early in the morning. Just so you know, my chalet is not soundproofed."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The tips of Jin Liwei’s ears turned red, but his face maintained an impassive expression.

"I thought there was a fire or a natural disaster with all the roaring and screaming! I woke up in a panic! Oh, my old heart! Good thing I realized what was going on or else I would’ve smashed the door open to rescue the two of you. Bahahaha!"

Jin Liwei cleared his throat, deliberately ignoring the old man’s mischievousness. He took over the coffee maker and poured a cup for each of them.

Fortunately, Grandpa Lu didn’t push the topic and moved on from the teasing.

"I don’t know what happened between the two of you that you needed to separate temporarily. Your Fifth Brother, that dunderhead grandson of mine, called me out of nowhere and told me to bring Xiulan out of the country. I asked why but he wouldn’t tell me anything! That girl also won’t tell me anything! Well, I respect your secrets so I didn’t investigate, even though I was burning in curiosity. Never mind that. It looks like everything is fine now. I’m glad that you two are together again and very active in fulfilling this old man’s wish of giving me great-grandbabies."

"Thank you very much for taking care of Xiulan, Grandpa Lu. I knew that she was in safe hands when I heard that she was with you." Then a faint smile tugged Jin Liwei’s lips. "I don’t mind having children now, but I want to marry her first. You’ll have to wait after our wedding before you can have your long-awaited great-grandbabies. And also she’s still young. I’m not sure whether she wants to have children right away."

Grandpa Lu squinted his eyes at him. "Wedding, eh? Well, you better move fast, my boy. That girl will only shine more brightly from here on. It’s inevitable that there will be other men who’ll want and desire her. If you ever take her for granted, I’m sure someone else will quickly steal her away from you."

"I’ll never take her for granted. I love her," Jin Liwei said in a serious tone.

"That’s what I want to hear! Very good! This old man will have to stay healthy then, so that I will still have the energy to carry and spoil my future great-grandbabies! Don’t take too long, alright? Ahahaha!"

After coffee, the two still went out for a jog around the hilly neighbourhood. The weather was cold and running in winter attire was hard, but it was refreshing especially with such a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps.

They jogged back to the chalet when the sky began to lighten moments before sunrise. Iris was already awake when they returned. She was in the kitchen drinking tea while watching the chalet’s caretaker cook eggs, bacons and sausages for breakfast.

Everyone greeted each other.

Iris was glowing, her bright eyes sparkling. She jumped from her seat, ran into Jin Liwei’s embrace, and then pulled his head down for a kiss.

Jin Liwei was a bit surprised but also very pleased at how forward she was becoming in showing her affection for him, especially in front of other people. His heart filled with pure happiness. He hooked his arms around her waist. When they finished kissing, there was a stupid grin on his face.

"You two haven’t even married yet, but you’re already acting like you’re on your honeymoon! Hmph! Let this old man eat proper breakfast, not dog food!" Grandpa Lu grumbled, but his eyes danced in amusement.

They ate together, a picture of a happy family.
