97 Fifth Brother (1/2)
Toronto, Canada.
The sun blazed brightly above the clear blue sky. The clouds floated like giant white cotton candies.
It was the peak of summer, the weather quite hot. Fortunately, cool breeze from the great lake would blow now and then, making the otherwise humid temperature refreshing.
Jin Liwei and Xu Tian exited the convention centre, alongside other business leaders from all around the world. The famous landmark tower of the city cast its tall shadow over them, as they strode to their waiting cars.
The chauffeur opened the rear door and Jin Liwei climbed inside the car. Xu Tian sat at the front passenger seat. Jin Liwei instructed the chauffeur on where to go next.
He loosened his necktie and opened the first two buttons of his dress shirt, sighing in relief. The small, red love bites were exposed on his neck.
The chauffeur just happened to glance at the rear-view mirror and saw the hickeys on his boss' neck.
”What happened?!” Jin Liwei barked when the car suddenly braked, but then smoothly resumed driving like nothing happened. Thank goodness for seat belts.
The poor chauffeur coughed. ”Pardon, sir. I thought there was a squirrel crossing the road. Must be my imagination.”
Ah, how dangerous. The chauffeur cautiously glanced at the rear-view mirror again. The glaring red marks on his boss' neck proved that the hickeys weren't just figments of his imagination. What the hell? Did this mean that the boss finally found a lover? But the most important question: was it a woman…or a man? The chauffeur mentally hit himself on the head. He needed to focus on driving or else they would really crash. Besides, his boss' love life was none of his business.
Xu Tian saw everything. His mouth twitched. He could guess what the poor chauffeur was thinking. As a matter of fact, he was also shocked when he first saw the hickeys but he was not as surprised as the chauffeur because he already knew beforehand about the boss and Miss Long's relationship.
Jin Liwei frowned but didn't say anything.
He fished out his phone. His wallpaper was a photo of him and Iris holding their two tiny kittens. His baby girl looked so beautiful with her enchanting smile. As for him, although he wore his usual cold expression, his eyes looked somewhat gentle. His arm wrapped possessively around Iris. Ice Cream stared at the camera looking like everyone in the world was beneath her, while her brother Popcorn looked comical with his little paws up in the air, mouth and eyes wide open, his little pink tongue out, as if laughing like a hooligan.
Jin Liwei's mouth curved into a slight smile, pleased with their family picture.
He was tempted to call Iris, but looking at the time, he could only wait until later. She should be in deep sleep now.
