Grandpa Lu led the group to a nice seafood restaurant. They booked a private room and ate a hearty dinner together.
Long Tengfei tried to invite his second son, Long Jian, to join them but he declined. Long Jian didn’t want to eat dinner with his half-siblings, especially since he was in a bad mood because of Iris. In the end, he returned to his hotel room and ate dinner with the COO and the rest of the people from Long Industries. He missed his chance to discover that Iris’ real fiancé was Jin Liwei.
After dinner, everyone returned to their respective hotels. The international business conference was in another city which was quite far from their homes. All the delegates, even the Chinese ones, booked hotels near the conference centre. It was more convenient this way.
Long Tengfei, Long Hui and Cao Guang returned to the hotel they booked for their group.
The people from Jin Corporation’s group, including Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu, were booked at a hotel which was co-owned by Jin Corporation. Similarly, Iris and the two Professors were staying at another Jin Corporation-co-owned hotel.
Jin Liwei didn’t return to his own hotel suite that night. Instead, he stayed with Iris at the other hotel. His company basically owned both hotels, so he had full control of the security. There was no danger of any strangers seeing them staying in one suite together.
Not that he personally minded such an occurrence, but his baby girl wasn’t ready to announce their relationship to the whole world yet.
Inside the hotel suite, Jin Liwei finished showering. He stepped out of the bathroom with only the hotel-provided bathrobe on. The large bed was empty.
His baby girl was busy studying her Malaysian and Japanese notes on the study desk at the corner. She was still in her red business outfit. Her suit jacket was draped on the back of the chair behind her. The buttons of her dress shirt was open, revealing the tops of her flesh-coloured lace bra underneath.
They decided not to shower together because they knew that they wouldn’t be able to keep their hands off of each other. Both of them needed to make preparations for tomorrow.
Iris would be interpreting, while Jin Liwei would be presenting tomorrow at the China-Japan conference in the afternoon. He needed to check his presentation files and rehearse to make sure that he would perform well.
But before any of that, he headed over to his baby girl first. Hearing him approach, she turned on the swivel chair and smiled at him. The bedroom’s flattering lights enhanced the planes of her face, making her more beautiful and sultry.
The effects were also the same on Jin Liwei. His chiselled face was intensified, making him more attractive to Iris’ eyes.
Both of their eyes darkened with desire at the sight of each other.
"You’re so beautiful."
"You’re so handsome."
They said at the same time. Then they chuckled.
Jin Liwei stopped in front of her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed the side of her face over his hard and flat stomach. She rubbed her cheek against the soft and fluffy cloth of his bathrobe. His hands massaged her head gently and stroked her hair.
They stayed like this for a few minutes, simply enjoying each other’s presence. Even though they weren’t talking out loud, they could feel each other’s happiness at just being together.
Thinking about his thoughts earlier on not minding if they were seen together staying in the same hotel suite, he asked her, "Love, I know that I already asked you this before but I just want to have a clearer idea this time. At what point are we going to publicly announce our relationship? I really want everyone to know that we’re together."
Still hugging his waist, she looked up at him.
"My music career is doing well. If you want, we can announce it now," she told him.
