Chapter 719 - Poor Pillow

Jin Liwei sighed. The delight and satisfaction he felt from what happened on the bed decreased a little. "I want to let you know that I don’t expect you to pleasure me just because you feel guilty that we fought. Regarding my two requests as payback from last night, they’re just my way of teasing you. If you really don’t want to do any of them, I’ll understand and respect your decision. I won’t force you. You know that, right? I never want to make you feel obligated to pleasure me especially if it’s due to guilt. I want our pleasure to be mutual and natural."

He saw her open her mouth, about to deny what he said, but thought better of it and closed her mouth. Good. His baby girl was always honest. She couldn’t deny what he said.

"Okay," Iris said, her expression a little unhappy.

"Come here." He opened his arms and she threw herself in his embrace.

She rubbed her face on his chest and began inhaling his scent deeply. He held her tighter and kissed her forehead.

"Don’t worry about it anymore," he told her. "But let me just repeat myself so you won’t misunderstand our conversation. I really enjoyed how you woke me up today. It was so hot. I love it."

She lifted her face so that they were looking at each other. "You want to do it again?"

By itself, the question sounded flirty, but when she asked it, there was a genuine innocent curiosity in her tone and expression. It made Jin Liwei once again wonder how she could remain so innocent despite all of the carnal deeds they already performed together. His baby girl was indeed special and he would do anything and everything beyond his power to keep her with him for the rest of eternity.

"Of course I want to do it again," he replied.

"Okay."

His eyebrows went up in surprise. "Are you sure? Isn’t it too...rough for you?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It’s okay if it’s only sometimes."

Excitement bubbled inside him. He almost couldn’t wait until the next time she woke him up like that. His groin started to stir and stiffen at the mere thought of it. And of course she felt it.

"Speaking of pleasuring me, I haven’t pleasured you yet," he said, his voice becoming husky. One of his hands was already trailing down her back and reached her buttocks. He palmed one of the plump cheeks and gave it a light squeeze through the thin satin robe.

"Liwei, I can’t right now. I don’t have enough energy. I want to but I can’t because then I won’t be able function properly when I go to work later."

Her regretful tone sounded so adorable that he couldn’t stop himself from giving her butt cheek another squeeze. "Alright. I understand. Go back to sleep. I’ll get ready for work now."

She nodded with a yawn and was about to return to bed when he remembered something. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"Wait."

"Hm?" She blinked sleepy eyes at him.

"Go home once you finish your photo shoot today. I know that you have plans on going to your companies later but skip that for now."

She frowned. "Why?"

"I’ll go home early later today as well, before dinner. I want to talk to you about something."

Her frown deepened. "Talk about what?"

"We’ll talk about it later."

"Is it something bad?"

"No," he assured her.

It was something good. Not just good. It was something absolutely wonderful, if his suspicion was correct. The items he requested from his butler last night would hopefully give them an answer by tonight. He couldn’t wait. And if his suspicion was indeed proven correct, his first order of business was to reassure his baby girl that everything would be alright and that she didn’t need to fear anything.

Although her curiosity was piqued, Iris still nodded and accepted his arrangement. "Fine. I’ll wait until tonight to discuss whatever you want to talk about."

"En."

"I’ll arrange lunch to be sent to you as usual later."

"No need, love," he said. "I won’t be at the company at lunchtime. I’ll be out of town to visit one of our construction projects for an official inspection, so I’ll take our partners and the project leaders to a restaurant for lunch instead."

"Oh, okay." Then her brows drew together. "Wait. Construction site? Is it dangerous?"

"There’s no need to worry, love. Everyone wears protective safety gear before entering the site. I’ll wear a complete set too, of course. Besides, I’ve visited many construction sites before for inspection and nothing bad happened to me yet."

"Still, you be careful," she insisted. "Call me after you’re done with the inspection. I want to know that you’re safe."

"Alright."

She studied his face for a few seconds before reluctantly feeling reassured. He gave her a light peck on the lips and a pat on the butt before instructing her to return to bed and sleep. However, she didn’t leave right away, waiting for him instead to shrug his sleeping robe off and taking it with her. He didn’t think too much about it until later when he saw her sleeping on the bed after he finished showering.

His baby girl had wrapped his robe all around his pillow and was hugging it close to her body. All of her limbs were coiled around the poor pillow looking like she wanted to suffocate it to death. Her face was pressed on it, no doubt because she wanted to sleep while smelling his scent on the robe.

This recent weird behaviour of hers caused him to feel all warm inside. His wife was obsessed with his scent, so of course he was all for it. In addition, she had other little changes to her usual behaviours. It wasn’t only her. Even their cats were acting unusually clingy to her lately, always wanting to stay by her side, especially the mercurial Ice Cream.

All of these made him believe that his suspicion might just be for real. A smile formed on his lips at the possibility.
