208 Dangerous (1/2)

Iris froze, feeling the blood drain from her face. She stared at Lu Zihao, her expression filled with incredulity. Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. So many thoughts ran chaotically inside her mind, but she couldn't make sense of any of them.

Was it really possible that he could be…?

”Eh? Why are you speaking in Russian? Who's Evelinka?” Yu Mo asked. As a Systema instructor, he knew some basic Russian. However, Lu Zihao spoke too quickly for him to catch everything he said.

Lu Zihao ignored him, continuing to look at Iris. His posture and expression looked relaxed and carefree, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Lin Yehan was about to open his mouth to say something but Wang Yingjie stopped him with a gesture. The three brothers were confused about what was going on between their Fifth Brother and their Third Brother's girlfriend.

After a minute of silence, Iris hesitantly spoke. ”B-big brother?” she asked in Russian.

This time, Yu Mo understood it clearly. He didn't think anything was wrong with Iris calling Lu Zihao big brother. After all, just based on age, all of them were her big brothers. But why were the two of them speaking in Russian?

”I'm back, little sister,” Lu Zihao replied with a soft smile.

Torrents of tears gushed down Iris' eyes. Her lips trembled, releasing soft whimpers.

The three brothers were alarmed.

Yu Mo: ”Eh? What's wrong, Xiao Xiu? Why are you crying?!”

Lin Yehan: ”Xiulan, are you alright?”

Wang Yingjie silently observed her, but his brows knitted together. She was looking too pale.

”Come,” Lu Zihao said, opening up his arms to her.

The next scene shocked the three brothers.

Iris jumped from her seat and dove into their Fifth Brother's arms. She clung to his waist and started wailing, her whole body shaking. The harder she cried, the harder her body shook. Their Fifth Brother was murmuring something they couldn't hear, but whatever he was saying, it was just making her cry even harder.

”Looks like they really know each other,” Wang Yingjie commented.

Iris' cries were getting louder and more sorrowful that it alarmed even the servants. They ran to the living area to see what was going on. Seeing the scene, they didn't know how to respond. They decided to stand back and await their master's instructions, if there were any.

The phone call Jin Liwei received was an important business one. He took it in a nearby room so that he could speak in private. He just exited the room after finishing the call when he heard the loud cries. He immediately recognized the voice. His heart stopped for a moment before racing wildly inside his chest.

He ran back to the living area as fast as he could while trying to control his panic. When he arrived, an unbelievable sight greeted him.

His baby girl was wailing while hugging his Fifth Brother's waist. He had never seen her cry this hard before.

”What the hell is going on?” His cold voice cut through the confusing atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look at him except for his baby girl and Fifth Brother. The two felt like they were in their own little bubble separated from the rest of the world. He didn't like it at all.

Since Lu Zihao was still sitting down on the couch, Iris looked like she was laying on top of his lap.

An ugly feeling surged up within Jin Liwei. He marched towards the two and pulled his baby girl up from his Fifth Brother. She flopped like a limp doll in his arms, still crying. He held her tightly in one arm while his other hand reached for the front of Lu Zihao's shirt.

”What the hell did you do to her?” he growled.

Lu Zihao didn't reply, but he looked at him with extremely cold eyes.

For a moment, Jin Liwei was taken aback by the coldness in his Fifth Brother's eyes. But then he felt his baby girl trembling in his other arm and the fury returned in full force.
