Kapitel 70: Girlfriend

Iris' face burned in embarrassment, especially in front of her own employees. She forced herself to calm down. She would not lose control in front of her own people.

Besides, it was only a kiss, she reasoned to herself. Yes, it was only a kiss. No need to feel embarrassed. She nodded.

Jin Liwei looked in amusement at his baby girl's myriad facial reactions before returning to her cool and calm expression.

"What are your plans for today? Anything else you need to do after this Zumba class?" he asked her.

She tilted her head to the side. "No. I was supposed to have work scheduled for today, but my manager moved it tomorrow instead."

"Good."

"How about you? Do you have plans for today?"

"Yeah. I'm taking my girlfriend out on a date."

Girlfriend?

Her vision turned red and her hands closed into tight fists. With flashing eyes, she hissed at him. "What did you say?"

"Hm?" Confused at her sudden fury, he asked warily, "What's wrong?"

She totally lost her usual composure. She was so angry that she found it hard to breathe. Never in her two lives had she lost her temper like this.

She grabbed his collar and bared her teeth at him. "You say I'm your lover and you did all those things to me! And now you're saying you have a girlfriend?! You bastard! What do you take me for?! Your f*ck buddy?!"

Dom gasped, eyes and mouth wide open in shock. Yi Mei clutched at her chest and almost stumbled back but caught herself. The cook supported her. The two older women shot murderous looks at Jin Liwei. The others backed away, staying as quiet as possible, not even daring to breathe too much.

Jin Liwei was taken aback, aghast at her words. "You…what are you saying?!"

"Get out! I don't want to see you ever again!"

Iris roughly pushed her chair back and jumped off angrily, intending to leave, but he caught her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Baby girl, calm down. Let me explain, okay?" He tightened his arms.

"Explain what?! Let go, you bastard! Don't touch me!"

Her emotions were all over the place. She felt so furious that tears threatened to fall from her eyes. These negative emotions frightened her. What was happening to her?

"Listen to me, baby. You're misunderstanding me."

"What misunderstanding?! Go back to your girlfriend! You're not welcome here anymore!"

Jin Liwei couldn't hold it in anymore. He laughed loudly.

"Why are you laughing?!" She became even more enraged. She wanted to claw his face off.

"Sorry, baby." He struggled, trying to stop laughing. "I just find it so funny that you're being jealous of yourself."

She stopped. "What?"

"When I said girlfriend, of course I was referring to you. Who else?"

"Wait…what? I'm your girlfriend?"

He let her go when she finally stopped struggling. She turned around to look at him with a confused expression.

"Yes," he replied, amused.

"Oh."

He chuckled.

"Phew! Thank you, Lord!" Dom exclaimed, patting his chest with a relieved expression. His heart almost stopped, oh how scary! Then his eyes sparkled brightly. So much drama. His boss and sir boss' love story was even better than those romance TV series he often watched.

The others looked relieved as well, except for Yi Mei. The housekeeper had a complicated expression on her face. She looked like she wanted to bash Jin Liwei on the head for taking advantage of her Young Miss.

"Wait." Iris frowned. "When did I become your girlfriend? I didn't know that I'm your girlfriend."

"Baby girl, you just said it yourself. We're lovers and we already did all those things together. If you're not my girlfriend, then what are you?"

"But you didn't ask me. Don't just decide by yourself! How would I know if you don't tell me?"

"I thought that it's already understood between us without words."

"Well, Jin Liwei. I'm sorry to tell you but I'm not psychic. I can't read minds. You have to tell me this kind of things. And tell me, when did you decide that I'm your girlfriend? Last night?"

He scowled at her. "The first time I came here. We kissed that day, didn't we? I don't go around kissing people just like that. I kissed you, so you're my girlfriend. I touched you, so you're my girlfriend. I sleep with you, so you're my girlfriend." He wanted to add "you're my future wife" but managed to stop himself. He didn't want her running for the hills.

"…"

That long ago? The damn man already decided that they were boyfriend and girlfriend back then? She didn't even like him that time. In fact, what she felt for him then almost bordered on hatred, especially with her bad impression of him from their first meeting at the hotel lobby. But he thought that they were lovers?

What the…this man…wasn't he a little too much?

She took several deep breaths to calm herself. "Liwei, you should've asked me first if I'm willing to be your girlfriend. Just deciding for yourself is a total disregard and disrespect to my own choice."

"I understand." He took her face in his hands and looked deeply and seriously at her eyes. "Long Xiulan, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

"Ayiiiiiii!!!!" Dom and even two of the young maids squealed.

Her heart raced inside her chest, threatening to jump out. They already did things together. And she was starting to like him. Excitement pulsed within her.

"Yes." She took another deep breath. "Yes, Jin Liwei. I'm willing to be your girlfriend."

"Are you willing to take me, Jin Liwei, as your boyfriend?"

She smiled. "Yes. I, Long Xiulan, willingly take you, Jin Liwei, as my boyfriend."

He kissed her hard, roughly smashing his open mouth against her sweet lips.

She closed her eyes and moaned, wrapping her arms around his waist.

They were both gasping when their mouths separated. They were too preoccupied with each other that they had forgotten there were other people in the kitchen with them.

Dom and the two maids were making a ruckus, cheering and squealing at the romantic scene playing in front of them.

"Baby girl, you're not allowed to take your words back."

It was official. Even his baby girl wouldn't be able to deny their relationship now. And like hell he would allow her to deny it.
