129 Slippers of Justice (2/2)
While all of these were happening online, Tang Yiyi left the hospital. Thanks to the consecutive media storms involving her artist, she was very busy as Iris' manager. There was no time to rest. It was her and Bright Summit's job to turn the situation into something advantageous for their artist. This was what they were good at.
Back in the hospital, Jin Liwei finally woke up.
Dom, of course, spilled everything that happened earlier to his sir boss.
”What?!” Jin Liwei was enraged. He immediately marched outside the room and reprimanded his subordinate who he assigned to protect his Xiulan.
The subordinate bowed and apologized. His expression remained stoic, but sweat beaded on his forehead.
”What the hell were you doing?! This is the private wing and you let someone take a picture―”
Jin Liwei stopped when a pair of graceful arms wrapped around his waist from behind. He felt his baby girl's body press against his back.
”Liwei, that's enough. Don't scold him anymore. It's not his fault.”
”But―”
”Liwei...darling, please stop.”
”Okay.” He immediately obeyed when he heard her call him ”darling”.
She pulled him back inside the room. She nodded at the subordinate who apologized to her.
Back inside the room, Iris instructed Dom to order dinner. While Dom was gone, Iris and Jin Liwei cuddled on the sofa.
”I'm sorry I slept through everything,” he said, kissing her head.
Iris looked at him with a serious expression on her face.
He began to feel uncomfortable under her gaze. ”Baby?”
”You had your man follow me? Hm, darling?”
”Uh...I really think that you need a bodyguard. I know that you don't want to,” he quickly said after seeing her narrowing eyes. ”But baby, please consider it. I'm really worried about your safety.”
She continued to look at him, but finally sighed. ”I really don't want bodyguards but you might be right about my safety. Elder Sister Yiyi also mentioned it to me earlier today.”
His eyes lit up. ”Then?”
”Yes, I think I'll hire a bodyguard.”
Jin Liwei smiled widely, relieved that she finally relented. ”Great, baby. I'll help you.”
”I want my own. Don't give me yours. I want to be my bodyguard's boss, not you.”
”Alright.”
Iris smiled. She was feeling so much better. Suddenly she moved and sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. ”I missed you.”
He pulled her closer. ”I missed you too, baby.”
Outside the room, Dom was finally back. He opened the door.
”Boss, sir boss! I've ordered dinner―kyaaah! Oopsie doopsie, sorry! Please continue!” He shut the door.
He patted his chest, trying to calm his excited heart. His eyes were sparkling as he glanced at the two subordinates guarding in the hallway.
”Ehehehe.”
