Iris broke out in a cold sweat. She peeked from the corner of her eyes and saw Lu Zihao wearing a black expression. He looked like he wanted to behead Jin Liwei.
"Baby..." Jin Liwei murmured, sucking on her lips, trying to make her respond to his kisses. His hand crawled up inside her shirt and cupped her breast.
She wasn’t wearing a bra. If there wasn’t impending danger, she would’ve moaned and encouraged Jin Liwei to continue. However, she had to stop this right now or blood will flow—Jin Liwei’s blood, of course.
"Liwei, stop." She pushed him off of her.
"Hm?" He was still very aroused. He trailed wet kisses from her mouth to her neck.
"Liwei...Big Brother is still in the room..."
Jin Liwei froze.
"Heh~ Is my presence that easily forgotten or are the two of you just too horny?"
"Go away," Jin Liwei muttered, glaring at his Fifth Brother. "It’s none of your business when I make love with my girlfriend."
The murderous aura grew stronger. Iris paled. She pushed Jin Liwei off of her more forcefully. "Aren’t you going to shower?"
"Wanna join me?" he whispered, squeezing her breast lightly.
’This stupid man!’ she yelled in her mind.
"Second Brother said I can’t take a shower for a couple of days. Towel baths only to be safe."
"Oh. Right." Jin Liwei’s arousal dissipated as he remembered that his baby girl just came out of coma. He immediately straightened and released her breast. He mentally scolded himself for losing control when she was still recovering.
"Go shower now, okay? I’m going to rest. I feel a little tired."
"Okay." He kissed her forehead and stood up. He threw a warning look at Lu Zihao before heading to the bathroom.
When he was gone, Lu Zihao looked at Iris. He was expressionless but a dangerous aura emanated from him.
"So...you two are really sleeping together?"
"He sleeps here in my bedroom. Well, it’s our bedroom now since we’ve been living together."
Lu Zihao rephrased his question, knowing that his sister could be dense when it came to things like this. "What I mean is are the two of you having sex?"
"..."
"Well?"
"Uh...if I say yes, will you hurt Liwei?" she cautiously asked instead.
His eyes narrowed. "So that’s a yes?"
When he opened his eyes, the scary aura coming from him disappeared. He reverted to Lu Zihao’s usual easygoing manner.
"Relax, Little Sister," he said in a light tone. Then he began picking up the books from the floor, rearranging them on the bookshelf. "I’m not really against Jin Liwei. Although I still think that he’ll never be good enough for you, at least he’s the most qualified man in this country right now. His wealth, status, power and influence are adequate enough, I guess."
"Hmph! In your eyes, nobody is good enough for me."
He chuckled. "That’s very true. If we are still the Vetrovs, I wouldn’t have to lower my standards like this for a suitable partner for you. Alas, I am no longer Nikolai Vetrov and you are no longer Evelina Vetrova. I guess we both have to make do with what we have now." He continued chuckling but there was bitterness in his tone.
Iris’ chest tightened hearing him. She was perfectly happy with her new life, but what about her brother?
Their past situations were completely different. While she was a caged bird, protected and isolated to the point of suffocation, he was actively helping run the organization with their parents. He had the wealth, status, power and influence as the Crown Prince of the international Underworld. Was he missing his past life?
"Hm? What’s this?" Lu Zihao suddenly asked. He was holding a black notebook.
Her eyes widened. "Oh. That’s—"
He opened it and looked at the first page.
"Fan Luo, Wanwan, Feifei, Mimi," he read aloud. "Hmm... Fan Luo... Isn’t she the fiancée of Jin Chonglin? And these three other names... Aren’t these the Alarm b*tches?"
"Yes."
"Heh~ What is this, Little Sister? You copied my Black Note? But why haven’t you crossed out any of the names yet?"
