With her great hearing, Iris felt certain that Long Jinjing was about to say "Nikolai" before her friend corrected herself and said "Lu Zihao" instead. The others didn’t notice Long Jinjing’s slip of the tongue, and even if they did, they wouldn’t know its significance. If Iris really heard her friend correctly, then it meant that her big brother told Long Jinjing his real name.
What did this mean? Were his feelings for Long Jinjing for real, hence why he revealed his real name to her?
Iris narrowed her eyes, unable to figure out her brother’s real intentions, especially since he was so pissed off at her for telling Jin Liwei some part of the truth about their past lives. He refused to give her his blessing to tell Jin Liwei everything, even with her repeated assurances that Jin Liwei was a trustworthy and loyal man who loved her with his life.
She had been in a relationship with Jin Liwei for more than a year now. They were engaged and would be marrying very soon this month. Despite this, her brother still couldn’t fully trust Jin Liwei with the truth, even though he had Lu Zihao’s memories and should know what kind of character his "Third Brother" was.
For all his oppositions against telling Jin Liwei, now Iris discovered that he might have told his real name to Long Jinjing just like that, someone he must have hooked up only recently?
Iris felt unhappy about what she thought was her brother’s unfairness. All of these thinking, worrying and stressing were worsening the ache in her temples.
Before anything else, however, she still needed to confirm first if Long Jinjing really meant to say "Nikolai". Although Iris felt sure that she heard correctly, it was still preferable to be 100% certain. But before she could ask Long Jinjing about it, her phone rang. Dom answered it before passing it to her.
It was her darling. Just hearing Jin Liwei’s voice made her aching temples feel a lot better. Her entire mood also lightened up.
The lovers chatted over the phone, not noticing that they were throwing dog food to Iris’ three friends. Dom looked ecstatic while listening to the couple’s lovey-dovey conversation. The single dog Chen Fei was the opposite with her surly expression. As for Long Jinjing, she was smiling with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"After you’ve rested in your office, come home immediately," Jin Liwei urged. "I’m also on my way home right now from Jin Corporation. I want us to eat lunch together today. Then I’ll accompany you to your meeting with Qiao Yu and Elder Long Jufang later in the afternoon."
"Okay, darling," Iris agreed while already wondering what kind of chocolate dessert their chef prepared today for her.
