206 Meeting Fifth Brother (2/2)
They drove inside the gated property and entered the farm villa. A few minutes later, they parked in front of Lin Yehan's big country mansion. There were other cars parked. Jin Liwei's brothers already arrived before them.
Jin Liwei opened the door for her. He wrapped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her close to his body. The weather was chilly. They didn't waste any time and quickly climbed up the steps to the mansion. The big doors were unlocked, so they just entered. The comfortable warmth inside greeted them.
”Ah, speak of the devil. Here they are,” they heard Lin Yehan say.
”Third Bro! Xiao Xiu! What took you so long? We've been waiting for you!” Yu Mo asked them.
”Let them warm up first, Fourth Brother,” Wang Yingjie advised.
Jin Liwei clasped hands with Iris, as they walked to the living area where his brothers were currently lounging. Iris greeted the brothers while Jin Liwei nodded at them.
She was immediately drawn to the unfamiliar figure beside Yu Mo. He must be their Fifth Brother. Their eyes met, curious at each other. She gave him a friendly smile. His mouth also curved up.
Jin Liwei began the introductions.
”Baby, this is our Fifth Brother, Lu Zihao. He's Grandpa Lu's grandson.”
Iris studied Lu Zihao. Indeed, he resembled Grandpa Lu. Both looked mischievous.
He was handsome in a different way from Jin Liwei. Lu Zihao was attractive in a wild and roguish way, while Jin Liwei was the cold and serious type.
”Fifth Brother, this is my girlfriend, Long Xiulan.”
”Hello, Fifth Brother,” Iris greeted him. ”It's a pleasure to finally meet you.”
”Xiulan, I've been looking forward to meeting you. I've heard so much about you.” He shook hands with her. He didn't release her hand right away.
Iris didn't find it odd that their handshake lasted a bit longer than necessary. She thought that he was a nice person just like the rest of the brothers. He had a relaxed and easygoing manner about him. However, she began to feel a little uncomfortable when he continued to look at her. His expression looked laid-back but Iris felt an inexplicable intense pressure from his gaze.
There was something familiar about the feeling. She frowned, and then lightly shook her head. What familiar? This was the first time she was meeting him. She must be overthinking.
Finally, Lu Zihao released her hand before turning to Jin Liwei. ”Third Brother, how lucky you are. Your girlfriend is a beauty.”
”En,” Jin Liwei replied with a nod.
Lu Zihao shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans. He looked at Iris again. ”So you're the old man's new granddaughter?”
”Yes. Grandpa Lu has been taking care of me,” she answered.
”Hmm…” One corner of Lu Zihao's lifted into a devilish smile. ”Did you know that the old man intended to pair you up with me? He can't stop raving about you. If you weren't already with Third Brother, you'll probably end up as my girlfriend instead.”
