The lovers remained in that beautiful position while the otherworldly music played with the moonlight illuminating them under its dim radiance.
Jin Liwei sat beside his baby girl, admiring her beauty and her graceful fingers skipping, pounding, dancing, and caressing the piano keys. It was almost unbelievable the kind of music she could produce.
The music she was currently playing made his heart tremble, ache, and elated, and also stirred his very soul. It felt very personal, as if he could directly feel her emotions like they were his own.
It was like magic.
She was magical. And she was his.
When the last notes of her music drifted into the night, there was only silence. Only the soft sounds of their breathing and the beating of their hearts could be heard in the moonlit room.
Iris leaned her head on Jin Liwei's shoulder and inhaled his familiar masculine scent. Doing so made her feel warm, loved, safe, secure, and also thrilled and excited all at the same time. No other person in the world could give her this kind of range of feelings. He made her feel all kinds of emotions that sometimes it was scary.
He pulled her closer and nibbled on her earlobe, making her shiver, and then whispered, "I'm home, my love."
"Welcome home, darling."
"Thank you for waiting for me."
She smiled. "I wanted to talk to you before we sleep. There's something I need to tell you."
He studied her and tried to guess what she wanted to tell him based on her expression but failed. "Alright. We'll talk. I also need to ask you something."
Instantly curious, she asked, "What is it?"
"Later. Accompany me for dinner?"
"Of course."
Iris and Jin Liwei left the music room and headed to the kitchen together. They chatted about a wide range of topics but didn't talk about what happened in his office. The atmosphere was warm and light. Their smiles and laughter flowed like a relaxing breeze while Jin Liwei ate a late dinner.
The staff members who were serving them could sense an extra tenderness in how their master and mistress interacted with each other tonight. Most of the time, invisible yet noticeable sparks flew between the couple whenever they were together in the same room. The intense sexual chemistry was always present and unmistakable, no matter how "innocent" they looked and touched each other in front of people. The staff couldn't quite put a finger on what exactly it was, but they could all sense that something significant had changed between their master and mistress. And whatever it was, it made them closer and more lovey-dovey with each other.
After Jin Liwei's late dinner, the couple finally retired to their bedroom suite. Iris took care of him—assisting him out of his business suit, waiting for him to finish showering, and helping him into his pyjamas—just like how he took care of her when she broke down earlier in his office.
Seeing his gorgeous, muscled, naked body, Iris licked her lips and ogled him without any shame. Her desire ignited in an instant.
Jin Liwei saw the fire in his baby girl's eyes. His own desire started blazing as well, the evidence of his arousal creating a tent underneath his pyjama pants.
However, the two seemed to have reached a tacit agreement to give it a rest tonight. And to be honest, Iris was feeling sore after being loved by Jin Liwei who was very wild and intense while making his office fantasy come to reality earlier that day. Don't get her wrong, though. She enjoyed it immensely, thank you very much, but she needed to rest tonight, especially her lower body. Oh, and her mind too, of course. Her mind was still reeling a bit after the pregnancy scare. Fortunately, she was young and worked hard to maintain a healthy and fit body. She was confident that her body would recover quickly, so that she could once again seduce her darling and engage in another wild and intense lovemaking.
If it wasn't for her high pain tolerance, she probably would've been walking with a limp for the rest of the day. It felt like she made love with a big and wild bear...but a sexy and hot one at that.
Iris mentally shook herself and forced all of the lewd thoughts about her darling out of her mind. She craved for him but her body couldn't take anymore of him tonight. How unfortunate. All she could do was sigh and satisfy herself with helping him get ready for bed.
It was already midnight when they finally climbed on their huge bed and cuddled under the thick duvet.
"I just had you this noon, yet I want you again," Jin Liwei whispered to her ear.
"Same here," she whispered back.
They looked at each other. He smirked while she giggled. The two grinned at each other like idiots for a few moments before Jin Liwei's expression became serious.
"I called Second Brother on the phone after you left my office," he told her. "He said that we should wait before letting you have a pregnancy test because testing too early might give us the wrong results."
She didn't reply, thinking about what he said.
He continued, "In the meantime, I hope that you won't push yourself too hard. I won't stop you from working because I know how much you love your work, but please, love, take care of yourself when I'm not physically by your side. Okay?"
"Okay."
They both fell silent.
"You said that you want to tell me something?" he asked.
She nodded, then paused. "You said that you need to ask me something."
"En. But you first."
"No, you first."
They looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed. This went on for almost a minute. Then Iris decided to go first but so did he. They ended up speaking at the same time.
"Liwei, let's get married."
"Love, how about we get married earlier than planned?"
