Before Jin Chonglin could ask his older brother for more information about the traitors among the branch families, Iris stirred in Jin Liwei’s arms and opened her eyes.
"Hm? Where are we? Have we arrived yet?"
Jin Liwei stroked her hair. "Not yet. Go back to sleep. I’ll wake you up when we arrive at Orchidia Beauty."
She stretched and yawned before sitting up. "It’s fine." Seeing Jin Chonglin hugging her teddy bear, she pouted. "Please don’t rub yourself on my Little Liwei too much. What are you going to do if your scent overpowers my husband’s?"
"Huh? Scent? What are you talking about?" Jin Chonglin was confused.
Jin Liwei stretched his hand. "Give the bear back."
"I’ll give it back later. I’m using it as a pillow right now."
"Give it back." Jin Liwei’s tone brooked no argument.
"Oh, come on! You two are becoming too stingy!" However, he still returned the teddy bear to them with a sulky expression. He didn’t dare offend his older brother especially since he was caught eyeing his sister-in-law’s chest earlier. In addition, Iris’ temper had become too unpredictable and volatile after his brother got her pregnant. It would hurt his heart too much if she aimed her line of fire at him after unknowingly angering her.
As for Jin Liwei, he placed the big teddy bear on his other side in order to "recharge" it with his scent. Then he grabbed a chocolate bar from the snack basket specially prepared for his wife, opened the wrapper, and then fed it to her.
While enjoying the chocolate, Iris began sharing her dissatisfaction about the negotiation process with Bright Summit. "They only agreed to our terms not because of my negotiation skills but because I’m now Jin Liwei’s wife."
"What’s wrong with that?" Jin Chonglin asked while opening a can of coconut water from the limo’s minibar. There was no alcohol in there at all. "Big Bro is now your husband. There’s nothing wrong in using his status to make things easier for you. Don’t tell me you want to make things hard for yourself instead?"
"That’s not what I mean. I was looking forward to practicing and improving my negotiations skills but things went smoothly with Bright Summit instead. Too smoothly." She looked at her husband. "Someone told me that you called Bright Summit’s President in advance before I could talk to him."
"En." Jin Liwei didn’t deny it. He also wasn’t surprised that Ketchup snitched about his secret actions to her mommy. "Are you angry?"
She shook her head, smiling. "Not at all. My husband is too formidable. I need to work harder, so that someday in the future, it’ll be your turn to use my status to get what you want."
"I’m looking forward to that day." He leaned down and grazed his lips against hers.
