235 Come Back Soon (1/2)

Dom burst into tears when Iris informed him that she was leaving. She let him decide whether he wanted to return to the penthouse or stay here at the mansion with Jin Liwei and the kittens.

”Wuwuwu! Boss, I'll stay here with sir boss and Ice Cream and Popcorn! I'll take care of them, so that they won't feel too lonely without you! Wuwuwu!”

”I'm counting on you, Dom,” she told him. Then she hugged and nuzzled each of her kittens. ”Ice Cream, Popcorn, stay with Daddy, okay? Don't let him feel too sad. I also give you permission to scratch the faces off of anyone who dares steal Daddy away while Mommy is gone, okay?”

Ice Cream tilted her head to the side and meowed in assent. Her action resembled her Mommy so much that Dom's hands moved on their own, fishing out his phone from his pocket and taking pictures of the cute plump, grey kitten.

On the other hand, Popcorn was meowing and rubbing himself all over Iris. He didn't understand what was going on, but he could feel something was off. He felt restless and sought comfort from his Mommy.

Of course, Iris did her best to soothe the kittens.

Moments later…

”Ready, little sister?” Lu Zihao's smooth and alluring voice asked.

He seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Iris barely detected him, while Dom jumped in surprise at the sound of his voice.

Lu Zihao was leaning his back against the doorway with his hands tucked inside the pockets of his jeans. As usual, he looked devilishly handsome.

Dom stopped sobbing and stared at Lu Zihao with fangirlish eyes.

Lu Zihao smirked at him. ”Still a crybaby, I see.”

”Ah!” Dom clutched his chest and staggered back. If he wasn't feeling upset because of his boss' departure, he would've already started squealing like a crazed fangirl.

”Big Brother, let's go.” She slung a backpack behind her.

Dom found the medium-sized bag from Jin Liwei's walk-in closet, and then packed some of Iris' essentials from the luggage Yi Mei sent earlier. Iris didn't bring everything. All she needed was a few clothes, her laptop, phone and wallet.

”Give me.” Lu Zihao took the backpack from her and carried it instead.

They walked out of the bedroom suite. Ice Cream and Popcorn trotted beside their Mommy's feet. Dom followed closely behind Lu Zihao, admiring his tall back.

When they reached the grand foyer, Jin Liwei was standing there waiting for them. He looked like a zombie with his red eyes, bleeding mouth and ripped shirt. The scratches on his neck and shoulders were red and swollen.

The butler and servants pretended that everything was normal, even though they were extremely shocked inside seeing their master's sorry appearance. What happened between Miss Long and their master? Did they break up? What did their master do that Miss Long beat him up so badly? They were many questions they wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Lu Zihao raised an eyebrow at the sight of Jin Liwei. He gave his sister a side-eye. ”You did that to him?”

She didn't reply, biting her lip instead. Taking a few deep breaths, she bent down and carried the kittens in her arms. Then she walked towards Jin Liwei and gently handed them to him.

”I'll punish you if you neglect our kids,” she whispered.

His eyes reddened a bit more. ”Don't worry. I'll take care of them.”

She nodded and stepped back.
