447 Burn Into Ashes (2/2)

She was currently saving up to buy more Long Industries shares if any were put on sale again. As much as possible, she wanted to use her own money instead of asking Jin Liwei for help. If she could earn some easy money deleting Jin Chonglin's sex tapes or whatever, then it would be great for her bank account.

Grandpa Lu's shameless booming laughter echoed inside her mind at that moment.

Back to the present, Iris and Dom finally arrived at Dragon Palace Home #10. It was already late at night. The sky was dark. Shadowy clouds covered the moon and the stars. A slight chill was in the air.

The butler greeted them as soon as they entered the grand foyer. Beside him was Jin Liwei.

”Welcome back, love,” he said and moved to hug Iris.

However, she held up a hand and stopped him from getting near her.

”Where's your business suit?” she asked him instead.

A look of hurt flashed in Jin Liwei's eyes for about a second before he put up an impassive expression on his face. His arms which were reaching out for her fell awkwardly to his sides.

The butler and the other household staff pretended not to notice the awkward atmosphere while sweating bullets inside their clothes. Were the master and the mistress fighting?!

”What business suit?” Jin Liwei asked her.

Iris looked like a woman on a mission. Her expression, tone—everything was serious. ”The one you wore at work today. Where is it?”

He frowned and felt confused as to why she was asking about it. But he still answered her. ”It's in the laundry hamper in our bathroom. Why?”

She didn't reply, walking past him instead. She gestured for a maid and a houseboy to follow her.

”Love? Can we talk, please? Wait for me.” Jin Liwei followed and walked beside her.

Of course, the drama-hungry Dom also followed after them. His sleepiness was completely gone.

Jin Liwei's lips pressed together into a thin line, and his hands clenched into tight fists. He wanted to pull his baby girl, to force her to stop and to listen to what he had to say. However, it was obvious that she didn't want him to touch her. He felt frustrated and also hurt. Not wanting to fight with her, especially in front of their household staff, he refrained from talking for now and just kept on following her in silence.

Moments later, they finally arrived at their bedroom suite. Everyone followed Iris inside all the way to the bathroom. She marched towards the laundry hamper. When she confirmed that Jin Liwei's business suit was inside, she turned to the maid and the houseboy.

”Take this hamper and burn it. I want it burned until all the clothes inside turn into ashes. Understood?”

”Yes, Mistress! Right away, Mistress!”

Although the maid and the houseboy were confused as to why she wanted the laundry hamper and the clothes burned, they immediately obeyed her order 100%, no questions asked. They started to carry the hamper out of the bathroom.

Jin Liwei didn't understand what was going on. ”Wait!”

The maid and the houseboy paused.

”What are you doing?” Jin Liwei asked his baby girl. ”You have so many nice dresses and lingerie in there. Let me take them out first.”

”No! Don't touch them! You'll get dirty! I don't want them anymore. They're contaminated now. I'll just get new ones,” she said. Then she pointed at his body. ”Take off your clothes and go in the shower. I'm going to wash and scrub you thoroughly until you're squeaky clean tonight!”

His eyes went widened in surprise before darkening with desire. Then his mouth curved up into the faintest of smile.

”But I already showered,” he told her, even as his hands already started removing his shirt.

”I need to wash you again myself to make sure that you're completely clean of that woman's contamination.”

”Hmm… Alright, love.”

The maid and the houseboy averted their eyes and hurried out of the bathroom.

Dom snickered by the door. After giving a final ”ehehehe”, he followed the maid and the houseboy to give his boss and sir boss some privacy.
