Chapter 1571 Boys Day Out VS. Girls Day Out
Iris stood on her tippy-toes and gave her husband's lips a quick peck. "I'll be back in the afternoon."
Jin Liwei held her waist. "Okay. Have fun today, love."
She smiled. "Thank you."
He watched as his wife, his mother, and the others left. He had the strongest urge to follow them. It took a lot of effort but he was able to stop himself from doing so. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His mother, Huang Yuyan, was right.
His wife might love spending time with their family, but Iris deserved a much-needed break from him and their children. He understood it, but the desire to always accompany his wife was too strong sometimes.
This was something that he needed to constantly remind himself—to not cling to his wife too much and avoid making her feel suffocated by his possessiveness.
His possessive nature was something innate to him. It was difficult to change but not impossible.
Since deciding that Iris Long, no, Evelina Vetrova, was the only woman for him, he had already resolved to do everything in his power to change for the better and become the man his wife needed. And that was what he was doing and continuing to strive for.
He might not be a perfect man, but he would transform himself into the best man for his incredible genius wife.
Jin Liwei stood in front of the hotel for a couple more minutes before sighing and returning to the hotel.
The twins were playing with their nannies when he entered the suite.
"Dada!" Little Mochi toddled to him and hugged his leg.
"Da!" Little Matcha followed suit and hugged his other leg.
Jin Liwei felt better in an instant. He scooped each of his sons with his arms.
"Come, let's go find your Great-Grandpa Lu and play with him," he said.
Little Mochi: "Yah yah!" (Let's go!)
Little Matcha: "Uh." (Okay.)
The father and sons knocked on the old man's door. Grandpa Lu welcomed them with open arms—literally. He carried the two babies at the same time. He was still very strong despite his advanced age. He also looked like he finally recovered from the fatigue of travelling, thank goodness.
"Your mom went out? What is it? Your dad is boring? Come, my precious great-grandbabies! Let Great-Grandpa Lu bring you somewhere fun! Do you want to go with your great-grandpa? Tell me, I want to know!"
Little Mochi: "Yah yah!" (Wanna go!)
Little Matcha glanced at his daddy first. Only when Jin Liwei nodded that the baby agreed to go.
Grandpa Lu saw all this. "What an obedient baby! Just like—uh—wait, neither of your parents are obedient! Yes, our Little Matcha is an obedient baby all on his own."
This time, the twins weren't wearing masks. Their adorable faces were exposed to the world.
Although Jin Liwei was a semi-celebrity himself as a billionaire, the brother of a superstar, and the husband of a famous Chinese musician, he was still better than most of his cohorts at protecting his privacy.
Without his wife or brother beside him right now, pretty much nobody would dare to bother him, especially with his extremely cold and intimidating aura.
Even Grandpa Lu who normally had a jolly personality among his family and friends was actually quite intimidating to other people. Without a big smile on his face, he looked even fiercer than Jin Liwei.
People walking towards them would subconsciously make way for their group. Others wouldn't even have the time to appreciate the cuteness of the two babies being pushed in the baby carriages before realizing that they instinctively avoided walking close to the group.
This wasn't only due to Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu's intimidating auras.
Their disguised bodyguards also performed their roles in protecting them by executing special techniques of subconsciously warning off other people from approaching their group.
As a result, Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu were able to enjoy strolling with the babies without any interruptions.
While the "boys" were having a quiet but enjoyable stroll outside, the "girls" were having a blast swarming the shopping boutiques like locusts.
Wherever they went, Iris and her group would practically empty out the shelves.
They weren't particular about where to shop. It didn't matter if the store was a high-end brand or not as long as the products appealed to them. This resulted in situations where small mom-and-pop shops were emptied out by them, causing the owners to tearfully thank them.
Huang Yuyan was the fiercest when it came to shopping. She would immediately take items from the shelves as long as she liked them. The second fiercest was Iris.
"This is so much fun," Huang Yuyan said while emptying out another shelf in a small, independent leather store. "It has been a long time since I shopped in this kind of small store. It's quite refreshing."
Iris smiled. "I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself, Mom. I also find shopping in these independent stores very enjoyable. Dom did an excellent job of researching these shops beforehand."
Dom: "Ehehe."
Chen Fei agreed while she continued shopping. She wasn't as fierce in shopping as the others. She was the most selective among the group. It wasn't because she couldn't afford it. She simply didn't like storing too many things in her house that she wouldn't be able to use right away.
"I've passed by these shops in the past but never really entered them," Alona Bauer said. "My brother and I were too poor in the past, so I couldn't really afford to go shopping like this. Now that I can afford it, I've become too busy. It's so nice to take the day off with you, ladies."
Huang Yuyan patted Alona's shoulder. "I'll give you a call whenever I'm in Germany or Europe. Take a day off and I'll take you shopping just like this."
Alona chuckled. "I'd appreciate that."
The ladies continued shopping. They were tireless. The bodyguards carried their shopping bags and put them in another vehicle.
Iris and the others only paused their shopping spree to eat a late lunch in a restaurant.
This time, they followed Alona's recommendation. Iris was fine, but the others weren't too fond of German cuisine. The restaurant Alona recommended, however, was excellent.
All of them enjoyed the food especially Dom who ate the most. The others were already used to him, so they didn't even bat an eye. The other patrons in the restaurant, however, couldn't help but feel amazed seeing a skinny Asian guy eating so much food in one sitting.
Where did all the food go?
Did he have a black hole in his stomach?
