Chapter 47: Come Down

Gold Heights Condominium.

It was already late at night when Iris and Dom returned to the penthouse. Yi Mei welcomed them home.

"Young Miss, Mr. Jin Liwei sent flowers for you," the housekeeper informed her and then gestured to the living area.

Iris walked and saw a huge bouquet of red roses on top of the table.

"Ehehe. Red roses. How romantic." Dom, of course, just had to open his big mouth.

Her quick eyes calculated that the bouquet had one hundred red roses. She didn't notice that her heart skipped a beat.

She picked up the heavy bouquet and sniffed the flowers. Mmm. Fresh. Then she noticed a small handwritten card tied to the ribbon. She read it silently. It said:

"My sincerest congratulations to a marvelous performance. You look beautiful tonight, Long Xiulan. See you soon. From Jin Liwei."

Her lips curved up into a smile. When her heart suddenly started beating faster, she frowned. Hm? She must be feeling really tired tonight.

"Yi Mei, have someone arrange the flowers on a vase and put it in my bedroom."

"Understood, Young Miss. And dinner is ready, please follow me."

"Ah, finally! I'm starving!" Dom whined.

"How many steamed buns did you eat while we were driving home?"

"Boss, those were just snacks! How can mere steamed buns fill me?" As if to punctuate his point, his stomach growled loudly.

Iris chuckled. "Fine. Let's eat." She plucked the card from the bouquet and gave it to Yi Mei. "Put this in my room, too."

"Understood, Young Miss."

Yi Mei wanted to rip the card to pieces and stuff the pieces into that lustful brat's throat. The brat just wouldn't leave her Young Miss alone! However, Yi Mei was able to control herself and hide her inner thoughts from showing on her face. She was dismayed when she received the flower delivery earlier that evening, but it was not her place to stop men from courting the Young Miss.

But that lusty Jin Liwei brat was doing things in the wrong order. He first ate the Young Miss' tofu before even sending flowers. How immoral! On second thought, at least the brat, although lusty, still had a romantic bone in his body and knew how to send flowers to a lady he took advantage of. What was more, it looked like the Young Miss was pleased with the roses. Hai, the Young Miss was still too young and inexperienced, easily placated with just a bouquet of flowers.

Yi Mei led Iris and Dom to the dining table, and then instructed a maid to take care of the flowers and the card. Afterwards, she continued fussing around Iris.

Dom ate three big servings of dinner, almost inhaling everything, while Iris ate a light meal. It was already late at night, so she didn't want to sleep with a heavy stomach.

After dinner, Iris drank a cup of chamomile tea while looking at the night view outside.

Finally, she headed to her bedroom. On a table by the corner sat the hundred red roses on a jade vase. In front of it was the card. She admired the flowers for a few moments before heading to her personal bathroom.

It was already past midnight when she came out of the shower. After blow drying her hair, she changed into a pair of red silk pyjamas and was about to climb on her bed when her phone rang.

It was Jin Liwei.

The man called her every night since the day he came to the penthouse. It annoyed her at first, but after a couple of times, she got used to it.

"Hello, Mr. Jin. It's already so late." She subconsciously glanced at the red roses at the corner of her room.

"Xiulan. Did you receive the flowers?"

She didn't notice that she was smiling. "Yes. Thank you. They're beautiful."

"I was calling you but you didn't answer."

"I was in the shower."

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm on bed. About to sleep. I'm tired, Mr. Jin."

"Come down. I'm in front of your building."

She blinked. "What? Why are you here?"

"Just come down."

Iris frowned, deciding what to do.

"Xiulan."

She thought for a few more seconds before sighing. "Fine. Wait for me." She hung up.

Then she covered herself with a satin kimono robe and wore a mask before heading to the private elevator down to the main floor. The receptionist and the security guard both nodded when they saw her. She nodded back and then hurried outside.

A car honked.

She headed towards the black car. An unfamiliar man wearing a business suit climbed out of the driver's seat, walked around and opened the rear door for her.

"Miss Long, please climb in."

She nodded at the man. She was about to enter when long, strong arms pulled her inside.

"Xu Tian, leave us."

"Understood." The man called Xu Tian closed the door and left.

Jin Liwei wrapped his arms around her, pulling her body close to him. He removed the mask on her face and threw it on the rear deck.

"Mr. Jin, what are you―umph!"

A wet mouth suddenly covered her lips. His large hand held her jaw and pressed her cheeks hard with his fingers, trying to make her mouth open. Iris gasped from the pain, opening her mouth as a result, and in the next instant, Jin Liwei's tongue invaded her.

The hand holding her jaw moved behind her head, grabbed a handful of her hair, and pressed her closer against his mouth.

Iris pushed her hands against his chest, but his arm around her body was too strong, too tight.

She felt furious. How dare this arrogant man?! He had no right!

She was going to…going to…going to...

Her eyes fluttered close and her mouth opened a bit wider, giving him more access.

He groaned, kissing her harder when he felt her finally surrendering to the kiss.

Something hot and heavy pooled in her lower abdomen, making her moan. Her arms slid up and wrapped around his neck.

Jin Liwei pulled her up, grabbing each of her thigh and pulling her over his lap so she straddled him.

His hands untied her kimono robe.
