Everyone walked Iris to the main wing's entranceway. Yang Jiahui handed her a big box of different pastries. Iris and Meimei exchanged phone numbers.

"It's good to see you again after so long, Little Sister," Long Hui told her. His expression was cold as usual, but his tone sounded sincere enough. "And my congratulations on your new album."

"Thank you, Elder Brother Hui," Iris replied.

"I hope that you'll consider the things I told you today. Never forget that you have the blood of the Longs running in your veins."

A slight frown briefly appeared on her face before she smiled at Long Hui. "I will keep your words in mind."

He nodded.

Long Tengfei stepped forward. "Xiulan, my daughter, come visit us again when you have time. You're always welcome here."

"I will. Thank you, Father."

He cleared his throat and then remembered something. "By the way, has your mother visited you yet since your recent hospitalization?"

"No, but Mother called saying that Cao Guang contacted her. She said that she's somewhere in the Mediterranean and can't immediately return to the country."

Long Tengfei scowled. He was about to comment on his ex-wife's irresponsible behaviour but thought better of it. He didn't want to agitate his daughter, especially now that they were just starting to repair their relationship. And besides, Dr. Ching told him that his daughter's emotional and mental wellness should be prioritized, not just her physical health, or else a repeat of her previous collapse might happen again.

He took a deep breath and smoothed out the scowl from his expression. He nodded. "Alright. Take care on the road."

She bid them goodbye and goodnight before following the guard all the way to the main gate. It was already past 9 in the evening. There was a slight coolness in the air. She rubbed her exposed arms to warm them up a little.

Outside the compound, a car was already waiting. Jin Liwei's subordinate opened the door for her and she hurriedly climbed inside into the arms of her man.

The couple cuddled in the backseat as the car drove home.

Gold Heights Condominium.

Later that night, in their bedroom.

They were preparing for bed when Jin Liwei handed Iris an envelope.

"Hm? What's this?" she asked.

He just pushed the envelope to her, silently telling her to open it herself.

She took out the documents and began reading. Her eyes widened and she glanced at Jin Liwei. Then she carefully read every single word. When she was done, she smiled at him.

"Satisfied?" he asked her.

She nodded and opened her arms wide, inviting him for a hug.

Of course he obliged her. He pulled her into his arms, kissed the side of her neck, and then nibbled on her earlobe.

She shivered and then sighed in satisfaction. The she looked at the documents again. "Negative, negative…Everything is negative. Excellent. I thought you've already forgotten."

"Baby, you want it so of course I'll get it. I got tested three days ago. I only received the results today. I was actually supposed to get tested a few days earlier but I had to cancel my first appointment because I was too busy at work and had no time."

She pulled his face so that they're looking at each other. Then she gave a quick peck to his lips. "We can have full sex now."

His eyes immediately darkened with desire and his breath quickened, but he controlled himself. "Yes, we can. And we will, baby. But not now."

"Hm?" She tilted her head to the side, studying him. "Am I hearing things? Aren't you the one who's the most eager for us to have full sex?"

He chuckled, tucking a lock of long, silky hair behind her ear. "Indeed."

"Then why?"

"Baby, I love you. Now I realize that I just don't want to have sex with you. I want to make love with you. I want both our first time to be special."

"Special? How?"

"Hmm…Let me plan it first, okay?"

"You want to plan it? How? Having sex…I mean, making love needs a plan?"

A furrow appeared between her brows. Her expression was so cute that he couldn't help but kiss the furrow.

"Oh!" Her eyes lit up. "I think I know what you mean. You want to make a plan for our positions? You want to choreograph our movements? Hmm…but that doesn't sound like it'll be fun. Won't it be boring if sex―I mean, if making love is choreographed? I don't want that, Liwei."

He threw his head back and laughed.

"Why are you laughing? Hey!"

"Sorry, baby. You're just too cute."

She pouted at first but quickly smiled after.

Jin Liwei was feeling very happy (and relieved) that his baby girl's period was over. She was back to her usual calm and good-natured self. He didn't need to be so cautious around her anymore, afraid that she would snap at him without any warning.

He held her hand, the bracelet he gave her glinting in the light. "Don't worry about it. Leave everything for me to plan."

"But I'm so curious. I want to know! Liwei, tell me. Please…darling?"

He immediately wavered upon hearing her say "darling". He almost spilled all his ideas to her but was able to catch himself. Ah, how dangerous! His baby girl seemed to be gathering more and more weapons to her arsenal on how to make him do anything she wanted. Not that he was complaining.

He was more than happy to give her everything she wanted as long as they remained together for all time.

"Be patient, baby. Okay? I want it to be a surprise."

She pouted again, making him smile.

"Fine," she finally muttered.

Afterwards, Iris kept his STD test results in a safe place. Then they laid down together on the bed in each other's arms.

Jin Liwei asked her about what happened during her visit to the Long residence. She told him everything that happened.

"I actually agree with my brother. He's right. I'm not qualified to work in any corporate jobs because I'm undereducated. I don't have a university degree."

He frowned. "Are you planning on working in the business industry?"

If she was really planning on it, he would prefer it if she worked at his company instead. She would end up as his wife anyway (according to his plans), so it would be better for her to establish her authority at his Jin Corporation.
