Compared to his comfortable air travel, Jasper Leung was tense at the unbelievably tight security at Dragon Palace Homes. Even clearing customs wasn’t as strict as this!
Every time they had to stop at a security checkpoint, he felt nervous and even guilty for no reason at all. He tried to remember if he brought any illegal substances or firearms without his own knowledge. It was completely illogical because he was innocent but he still couldn’t stop himself from feeling this nervous, no, frightened at the intimidating security protocol inside the exclusive village.
Jasper glanced at Assistant Xu Tian who was sitting beside him on the backseat as cool as a cucumber. This seemed to be normal routine for him. As expected of the executive assistant of CEO Jin Liwei!
He calmed down a little after being influenced by Assistant Xu. However, he began to feel nervous again once they reached Dragon Palace Home #10. The massive gates was impressive and so was the long...long...extremely long driveway. How long was it anyway? They had been driving for ten minutes already but had yet to see the mansion.
"We’ll be there in another ten minutes," Assistant Xu told him.
Jasper nodded, not daring to complain. He didn’t have time for it anyway because his face was almost glued to his window looking at the picturesque view outside. Finally, the palatial mansion came into view. He gasped upon seeing it. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

"Wow!"
It was like being transported to Europe. His earlier nervousness was now gone, replaced by pure awe instead at the magnificent sight before him.
"Let’s go," Assistant Xu said.
Jasper followed the executive assistant up the stone steps. The butler welcomed and led them inside the mansion. Once again, Jasper’s jaw fell down upon stepping inside. Was this a home? It felt like he was stepping into a fantastical world so far away from his reality.
His eyes were attracted by the huge portrait hanging on top of the twin grand staircases. It was a family portrait of CEO Jin Liwei and his wife with four cute cats of different colours. The green-eyed white cat especially caught his attention because its bright smile resembled Madam Jin in an uncanny way.
The butler told him, "Mr. Leung, my apologies but you’ll have to wait before you can rest in your assigned bedroom. The master and mistress both want to meet you as soon as you arrive. Please follow me."
"Ah, yes! No problem at all. I’m not that tired because the flight was very comfortable. I also want to meet CEO Jin and Madam Jin to thank them for inviting me here. Please lead the way, Mr. Butler."
While they were walking, Jasper tried to play it cool at first but he couldn’t stop himself from looking around like an ignorant kid. CEO Jin Liwei had a cold, indifferent, and intimidating public persona so Jasper thought that his idol businessman’s home would reflect that. He was wrong.
Although the mansion was massive, it felt warm and even cozy. There were lots of photos of the married couple, their cats, and other people who must be their loved ones displayed here and there. The monogram LX was also everywhere. Jasper knew that it was the initials of CEO Jin and his wife.
He recognized some of the faces in the photos like the legendary genius businessman and co-founder of Jin Corporation, Sir Lu Jianhong, and the superstar Jin Chonglin. As for the others, he didn’t recognize them but guessed that they were close to CEO Jin and his wife.
