Jin Liwei held his baby girl's hand and rubbed it gently. Her hand felt dry and warm to the touch. It didn't feel damp or cold at all, as one would expect from a person who was nervous. He glanced at her. She had a calm and pleasant expression, as if she was just relaxing at home rather than awaiting her name to be called as a nominee for one of the important awards in the prestigious Sommet International Film Festival.
If it weren't for her racing pulse throbbing in her wrists, he would've thought that his baby girl didn't think much of the film festival's awards ceremony at all. She may look like she was just treating the awards night like any normal day, but she must be feeling nervous inside. Or excited. Maybe both. However, these feelings couldn't be seen on her face at all.
The corners of his mouth curved upward in a faint smile. His baby girl was truly impressive in maintaining her composure despite the gravity of this awards. In contrast to her calmness, the rest of the cast and crew of ”Strong Yet Broken” looked like they drank too much coffee. They were all jittery and couldn't sit still. Despite this, the excitement was obvious in their eyes.
Jin Liwei was amused at the difference of their state to his baby girl's. She was the youngest among them, yet she was the most composed. He lifted her hand that he was holding and kissed it. His action made her turn her head to him before giving him a beautiful smile.
He inhaled sharply, his eyes darkening with passion. No matter how many times he saw her smile at him, it always managed to take his breath away and make his heart skip a beat.
His gaze that was filled with so much heat affected Iris. Her breathing couldn't help but speed up, as her eyes darkened with desire for him as well. It was only when she vaguely heard the names of the nominees for the first award that she regained her senses.
She pouted her blood-red lips at him before telling him in a whisper, ”Don't distract me.”
A soft, low chuckle escaped from his lips. ”Alright, I'll try not to distract you. It's just that you're so beautiful that you're the one who's distracting me. I don't mind, though. You can distract me all you want, love.”
Her racing pulse normalized a bit after hearing his mushy words. She giggled. ”Stop it.”
”En,” he replied but not before giving her hand another kiss.
Beside them, the cast and crew of ”Strong Yet Broken” who were sitting the closest to them couldn't help but blush after overhearing what the couple had been whispering to each other. Although they spent time with the couple almost every day during the duration of the film festival, they still hadn't completely gotten used to their lovey-doveyness. It was just so difficult to match and accept that the lovestruck man uttering such mushy words was the same person as the cold and intimidating CEO Jin Liwei. The image of Jin Liwei in their minds was slowly crumbling.
