441 Death Wish (2/2)

Iris tilted her head to the side. ”It's because you always annoy my darling whenever you're here. If you're not brothers and we're not working together on an important music collaboration, he would've already thrown you out of here so many times already. Stop trying to tease your older brother so much, Brother Chonglin. He might run out of patience with you, you know.”

By this time, Jin Liwei had already reached the bottom of the stairs. She headed directly to him and tilted her head up for a kiss.

Of course, Jin Liwei gave her what she wanted. He pulled her close to him by the waist, careful not to squish Ice Cream between them. Then he dipped his head and gave his baby girl a light but lingering kiss on the lips.

As usual, the two didn't care that there were other people around them. They were inside their own home, after all. They could do whatever they wanted. The visitors were the ones who needed to adjust, not them.

”Che… We just arrived and you shameless couple are already drowning us in dogfood,” Jin Chonglin muttered.

Lin Dong's shock this time was even more severe than when he first saw Jin Liwei climbing down the stairs a few moments ago. His eyes almost popped out of his head, and his mouth opened and closed like a gasping fish out of water at the unbelievable sight before him.

”C-CEO Jin and Iris Long are e-engaged?!!!”

After that day, Lin Dong never dared to belittle Iris Long ever again or do anything that might offend her. He saw with his own eyes how CEO Jin Liwei doted on her. Anyone who became enemies with her would also automatically become CEO Jin's enemy as well. Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to do that? Not Lin Dong!

That was why he felt so exasperated at Jin Chonglin right now. Back to the present, Lin Dong wanted to smack Jin Chonglin in the head.

Lin Dong leaned close and said in a low voice, ”You want your older brother to kill you that much? I saw with my own eyes how much CEO Jin loves Iris Long. I'm telling you this right now, Chonglin. Listen to me and believe me when I say this. If CEO Jin is forced to choose between his woman and his own brother, I'm 200% sure that he'll choose Iris Long over you any time!”

Jin Chonglin scowled. ”Tsk. You don't have to tell me. I already know.”

”You already know and yet you keep on chasing Iris Long? Do you have a death wish or something?!”

Jin Chonglin's scowl deepened even more. ”I'm not chasing her! Watch your words, you bastard. She's my sister-in-law. I'm just being friendly.”

Lin Dong looked at the stoic-faced bodyguards guarding the door to Iris' dressing room. He pulled Jin Chonglin away from them. Then in a lower voice so that the bodyguards couldn't hear him, he told Jin Chonglin:

”I think you're acting too friendly with your future sister-in-law. Anyone who sees how you're acting towards her will describe what you're doing as 'flirting'. Is that how a brother-in-law should act towards his sister-in-law? To flirt?”

Jin Chonglin just waved his manager's words away with a dismissive hand. ”If you think this is me 'flirting', then you haven't seen me flirt yet. I just like teasing her, that's all. She has become much more expressive lately compared to the detached woman we met after she made her first comeback to showbiz. Besides, it's also fun riling up my brother. I've actually never seen him get so visibly annoyed with me before. It's so refreshing to see him showing so much emotion and all because of a woman.”

He chuckled in amusement.

Lin Dong shook his head at him and muttered, ”You're gonna get yourself killed one of these days.”

Jin Chonglin only laughed even more. He patted his manager's shoulder. ”I told you to chill, man. I like teasing both of them, but I know my limits. I might have seduced other men's women before but I would never do that to my own brother. I respect him, you know. I would never steal his woman. I may not be the best person in the world, but I'm not such an immoral person as to cuckold my own brother. So stop colouring my friendliness to Sister Xiulan with your dirty mind. I don't have any ulterior motives towards her.”

Lin Dong looked relieved after hearing Jin Chonglin's words. But for some reason, he still couldn't completely rid himself of the bad feeling that kept on bothering him whenever he saw Jin Chonglin interacting with Iris Long. He had been with Jin Chonglin for many years now, so he could immediately tell when something was off about him.

Jin Chonglin would have this deep look in his eyes and his expression would become gentle whenever he was with Iris. Sure, this may just be him as a brother-in-law, but Lin Dong couldn't help but feel bothered about it.

”Tell me, Chonglin. Do you like Iris Long?”
