593 Great to be Alive (1/2)

The knocking came from outside their suite, not their actual bedroom, so it wasn't that loud. But to Jin Liwei, it was the most irritating sound at the moment.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!!!

Iris also felt annoyed but not to the same degree as him. She patted his cheek, trying to calm him down. ”Why don't you answer it? Maybe it's something important.”

He grunted in obvious displeasure but still nodded. He gave her another quick kiss on the lips before leaving to answer the damn door. If it wasn't anything urgent, the damn intruder should prepare to face his wrath. His irritation was clouding his rationality. He poised himself for battle.

Iris followed behind him with slow footsteps. Now that his back was facing her, she carefully touched the bandaged wound on her neck and shoulder. They hurt. She was also beginning to feel a throbbing headache. Perhaps it was because of hunger or the overall pain in her body. She wasn't entirely sure. It seemed that she needed to eat soon so that she could safely take painkillers.

However, all this pain was still bearable. Yes, the pain was uncomfortable and inconvenient, but for someone who had experienced being shot by a barrage of bullets in her past life, something like this was nothing. At least, she was still alive. For that, she was thankful.

'I'm alive. I can still be with Liwei and our cats,' she thought.

It was great to be alive.

Ahead of her, Jin Liwei moved to open the door with a vicious scowl on his face. His raging expression was the total opposite of his usual cold fury. He opened his mouth to scold the damn intruder as soon as he opened the door but…

”Papa!” Little Jun stretched his little arms towards him.

”Liam,” Enrique Valdez greeted him with a nod. He retrieved his fist in the air. It appeared that he was the one who kept on knocking.

Enrique Valdez was the damn intruder?

The legendary hitmaker was carrying Little Jun in his arms. He looked a little awkward doing so but the toddler didn't seem to mind. Little Jun had already met this handsome grandpa before and considered him as part of the family.

Jin Liwei was too surprised seeing Enrique Valdez inside his home first thing in the morning that he wasn't able to react in time. He stood there like a frozen statue while Little Jun continued to call for him, trying to catch his attention.

Jiang Ying Yue stood a few steps behind them wearing an embarrassed and apologetic expression. She wasn't the only standing behind her son and Enrique Valdez.

”What are you standing there for like a nitwit, Liwei my boy? What's taking you so long to invite us inside? I want to know! Do you want this old man to fall asleep while standing here waiting and waiting outside your door?”

Grandpa Lu's booming complaint forced Jin Liwei to regain his senses. He finally noticed that his grandmother, mother and mother-in-law also came. A little farther behind them stood Dom and Yi Mei, each carrying a cat in their arms. He didn't see his younger brother, though.

Jin Liwei took Little Jun from the legendary hitmaker and opened the door wider. ”Please come in.”

”Mama!” Little Jun immediately forgot about his papa upon seeing his mama and excitedly reached out for her. However, he stopped, his eyes widening, when he saw her bandages, bruises and scratches. He immediately knew that his mama was hurt. His little face scrunched up and burst into tears. ”Mamaaaa! Mamaaaaaa!! Mamaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Iris attempted to take the crying child from Jin Liwei but he was reluctant because Little Jun might accidentally hurt her injuries. ”It's okay. I'll be careful.”
