795 Bright Summit’s Offer (1/2)

Dragon Palace Home #10.

It was the weekend. The glam room was teeming with activity as Iris was busy preparing for a big formal event later tonight. She sat and listened to Dom briefing her on her role in the event while her makeup artist, hair stylist and nail technician were all working on her at the same time.

She would be attending a distinguished, long-running TV awards ceremony with Jin Chonglin. The two of them had been chosen to be award presenters tonight for the best original theme song category. Their duet song ”Shining Eyes”, the opening theme song for the highly-popular TV drama adaptation of the webnovel, ”Our Love, Our Destiny”, also had a high chance of being nominated for the same award category next year.

Jin Liwei was reluctant to let her go tonight but eventually relented after she assured him many times that she could handle it. Although this awards ceremony was for celebrating the best TV shows in the past year, there would also be a lot of artists and well-known figures in the music industry attending tonight. This was an important event that she didn't want to miss. Her man wanted to escort her himself but his injuries hadn't fully healed yet.

Things were so much better now than ever in her relationship with Jin Liwei. They had grown closer and their connection became deeper after she confessed to him that she wasn't the real Long Xiulan. More often than not, she would burst into tears when he called her by her real name, Evelina. She would then blame her hormones whenever this happened.

It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders and reduced the burden in her heart a great deal. She was still carrying some burden which was her past identity as a Vetrov but that was something she needed to discuss with her big brother first before telling Jin Liwei.

It wasn't her that he was avoiding but Jin Liwei. However, she knew that it wasn't avoidance due to anxiety. It was due to irritation. He was irritated at the entity inside him. She sensed that he must be having some problems dealing with the remnant of the real Lu Zihao. The remnant should be extremely sensitive to anything that had to do with Jin Liwei right now.

Once he calmed down and felt ready to return to Dragon Palace, they could sit down and talk about sharing the whole truth of their past identities with Jin Liwei. She trusted her man and knew that he would never betray them and throw them to the Vetrovs' enemies.

As for Jin Liwei, he was still grieving for the loss of his fifth brother, the real Lu Zihao. He also needed some time before he was ready to meet with her big brother who now owned Lu Zihao's body and identity. Nevertheless, he was handling his loss well given the circumstances and not allowing his grief to cloud his good sense. All she could do during this period was to comfort him and simply be there for him whenever he needed her.

The two of them had also finished discussing her work schedule together a couple of days ago. They still ended up getting into a heated argument about it which caused her to once again lose control of her emotions. She raged at him while shedding annoying tears. It was only when he sweet-talked her by calling her Evelina that she calmed down enough to accede to his suggestions.

Her current unstable emotions were becoming a big source of frustration to her. At the same time, it made her appreciate Jin Liwei's patience with her even more.

He told her last night when she apologized to him about her increasingly short fuse, 'Don't worry about me, love. If you want to cry, go cry. If you feel angry, go rage. Dealing with your meltdowns is but a small price for me to pay when you're carrying my babies and will give birth to them in a few months.'
