240 Alibi (2/2)
After securing Iris' alibi, Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao continued to speak on the phone.
”Is she okay? Can I see her?” Jin Liwei asked.
”Yeah, she's fine,” Lu Zihao replied. ”If she wants to see you, she'll tell you herself.”
”Is she really out of the country? Can you tell me where she is?”
”Yeah. She's not in China anymore. I can't tell you where. You have to wait until she tells you herself. Grandpa took her somewhere. Don't worry. She'll be alright. The old man won't let anything bad happen to her.”
Jin Liwei sighed. Intense longing for his baby girl weighed down on his heart, making it hard for him to live each day without her.
'Be patient. She promised that she'll come back, so she will,' he persuaded himself.
After speaking with his Fifth Brother, Jin Liwei tried calling his baby girl's phone but failed yet again. He missed her so much that it hurt.
”Meow~”
Ice Cream and Popcorn rubbed themselves against him. He petted them and nuzzled against them.
”You miss Mommy, right? Me too. Let's wait for her to come back. Hopefully soon.”
These days, the kittens were always with him. Without their Mommy, they only felt safe with their Daddy. They refused to leave his side. As a result, he brought them wherever he went, even when he went to work at Jin Corporation. The first time he brought them to the company, his employees couldn't believe their eyes.
Their frigid President actually brought KITTENS to work! Kittens! The adorable, furry creatures known to enslave humans with their irresistible cuteness.
Not only that, he carried the fat grey one in his arms, stroking it in a loving manner, while the hyperactive orange kitten ran around everywhere. Two personal cat sitters followed them.
”Young Master Popcorn! Please don't run around. You might get lost!” the cat sitter called while chasing after the orange kitten.
The other cat sitter informed Jin Liwei, ”Master, it is now time for Young Miss Ice Cream's snack. Please give her to me so that I can feed her.”
The minds of Jin Liwei's employees, including Xu Tian, went blank.
'Young Master Popcorn? Young Miss Ice Cream? What in the world?!'
Jin Liwei noticed their stares. His eyes turned even colder.
”Ice Cream and Popcorn are my children. You must treat them with utmost respect. If I learn that any of you harmed my children in any way, say goodbye to your jobs,” he told them.
Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
'Ch-children?!!!'
