"Hah! Says someone who clearly liked my kiss!" Jin Liwei glared at her.
"Hmm. I suppose I liked your kiss," Iris admitted. "But I don't have other experiences to compare it to."
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that I'm your first kiss? I don't believe it." He subconsciously licked his lips. He wanted to taste her again.
Her lips pressed together. "I don't care whether you believe me or not."
In her past life, she had never been kissed by any man other than the forehead and cheek kisses her father and older brother gave her. They were so protective that they practically imprisoned her within the estate. They didn't allow her to meet other people who weren't approved by them.
She was well-trained in etiquette and could converse comfortably with almost anyone, but she was severely lacking when it came to understanding intimacy between the opposite sexes. In short, she was extremely dense when it came to flirting.
As for the original Iris Long, she knew based on her memories that despite her party girl reputation, she never kissed or had sex with any man.
She didn't want to be like her mother, Wei Lan, who had so many lovers that the line-up could reach all the way up the Milky Way.
However, the original Iris was too much like Wei Lan in how she loved herself the most. She loved herself too much that she didn't have the time nor the mental capacity to take a lover. She also thought very highly of herself, believing that no man was ever good enough for someone as amazing as her.
The rumours of her pursuing men were actually just her trying to leech off popularity from more famous people. This was the situation with Jin Chonglin.
She also pursued famous females, but everyone just focused and gossiped on the men she tried getting close to.
"Are you serious?" Jin Liwei asked her, shocked. Didn't she have a promiscuous reputation? She must have kissed many men before.
She ignored him, mumbling to herself. "I should probably find other men to kiss in order to have more choices for comparison. Will I feel like this in every kiss regardless of the partner? Hmm. This is something worthy to experiment on." Her brain was already in overdrive formulating a hyphothesis and experiment methods.
He heard her and felt possessive. "Like hell I'll allow you to kiss other men."
"It's none of your business, Mr. Jin."
"Long Xiulan, I forbid you to kiss other men."
She was angered. "You don't have the right to forbid me to do anything. I own myself."
He gritted his teeth, glaring at the damn girl. He had to use all the willpower he had not to push her down to the floor and take her right there and then.
He didn't understand why he was suddenly feeling so possessive of her. The damn girl was making him go crazy!
"Now tell me, Mr. Jin, why you came here today. If not, please leave. I'm busy."
"Yeah, right. Busy sipping your tea."
She glared at him.
He had to take a few moments to calm down and remember why he came here today. At first, it was just because he wanted to form a business relationship. Her detailed and comprehensive reports were simply too invaluable.
For a head of a big company like him, she was an untapped resource waiting to be exploited. He felt like an explorer who chanced upon a deep mine of gold and diamonds. His first instinct was to mark his territory, claim ownership and prevent competitors from taking a share.
Everything was his! She was his!
But when she ignored his e-mails, he got more and more frustrated to the point that she was on his mind every day. He wanted to see her, to talk to her, to get to know her.
He didn't care about her at all before, treating her as just one of the countless women trying to catch his brother. Her bad reputation didn't help either.
But when he met her in person for the first time at the hotel lobby, he discovered that there was more to her. Way, way more. He had the urge to keep her to himself, not allowing others to discover this unknown, fascinating side of her.
And now, finally seeing her after so long, he wanted to possess this woman!
