Jin Liwei's domineering words made Iris chuckle. But he was right. Indeed, who among the people back at the main hall had the guts to find fault with Jin Corporation's President-CEO. Even Long Tengfei, the future father-in-law showed respect to Jin Liwei and treated him like a superior in business.
As for Iris, deep inside, she didn't give a whit about what those higher-ups at Long Industries thought about her. It was just that in order to build a strong and stable foundation in the company and the Long clan, she had to try to get along with most of them to gain their support and make the road towards achieving her goal a little easier. This was why she was working so hard and allying herself with people who she didn't particularly trust.
Nevertheless, she felt relieved that Jin Liwei made the decision to take her home as soon as possible without needing her to personally bid goodbye to Long Tengfei and the others. She really felt too exhausted and had no desire to endure the overwhelming stink back at the main hall. Even just remembering the revolting smells made her nauseous.
"What's wrong?" Jin Liwei asked when he noticed her looking pale again.
She didn't answer. Instead, she once again pressed her face against his chest and inhaled his masculine scent deeply as if her life depended on it.
"Talk to me, love. I'm getting worried."
Giving a last big inhale, Iris kissed his chest before lifting her head up to look at him.
"Are you feeling very sick?" he continued to ask. "I'll take you to the hospital right now."
"No need. I'm fine. Just really exhausted."
He examined her for a few seconds before nodding. But he still couldn't shake away his worry.
Iris sighed in relief once they got inside the car. She stuck close to Jin Liwei's side and kept sniffing his neck. Her actions amused him but of course, he was also loving it.
"I wore this suit at work for the entire day. I must be stinky right now."
"No, you're not," she immediately denied. "You smell so good! The best!"
The corner of his lips curved into a smug smile. "Yeah?"
Instead of replying, she nuzzled his neck and began sucking. The driver reacted quickly and activated the partition wall to give the couple privacy and also to shield his single dog eyes.

New hickeys glistened on Jin Liwei's neck. Iris' nuzzling and sucking turned hotter as she pulled his head for a deep kiss on the mouth. She became very aroused despite being bone-tired. Wanting more, she slid a leg up on his lap in a semi-straddling position. A pleased moan escaped her lips when her knee bumped against his erection under his trousers.
Jin Liwei gasped and grabbed her knee, gently pushing it away from his hot, raging hard-on. "You're killing me," he hissed through gritted teeth.
His reaction only spurred her enthusiasm. She kissed him more passionately. When her hand began to move down his body and reached his belt, he had no choice but to stop her even though he was as aroused as her. He caught her naughty hand and fought the impulse to press it on his erection.
It was a great struggle not to succumb to desire. All he wanted to do at the moment was to push her down the seat and pound himself deep and hard inside her wet heat. There was no way, however, that he was going to broadcast a live sex show to his subordinates even though they couldn't actually watch it with their own eyes.
Iris glared at him. "Then stop seducing me!"
Jin Liwei was dumbstruck at her sudden accusation. He watched, speechless, as she pushed his chest hard while huffing before moving away to the opposite end of the backseat. She gave him another evil eye before turning away as if the mere sight of him was greatly offending her.
What. The. Hell. Was. Going. On?
Could someone explain? He felt utterly confused and unable to understand the current situation.
He was just sitting there, doting on her even when she was acting all weird by sniffing at him like a dog. Then she was all over him the next moment, giving him new hickeys, touching his body with her naughty hands, and kissing his brains out.
And she accused HIM of seducing HER? How?!
The combination of confusion at her sudden bad mood, frustration due to his current unspent desire, and worry of her being angry at him was muddling his ability to think properly. But the one thing he knew that he should do at the moment was to coax her before the situation swirled even more out of his control and resulted into a full-blown fight between them.
"Love…" he called out to her.
She ignored him.
Ignored again.
"Dear wife…"
"Don't talk to me!" she snarled at him.
He didn't give up. There was no way he was going to allow their night to end with them fighting, even when he had no idea why she was so mad at him in the first place. So he asked her directly, "Why are you mad?"
Her eyes flashed with blazing fury, and she even bared her teeth at him. Then she stopped and frowned in confusion, her head tilting to the side as she thought about his question.
"I don't know," she admitted. "I just feel angry all of a sudden. You must've done something to piss me off, though I can't remember what it was. But it must be your fault. Otherwise, why would I suddenly become mad at you? Yes, that's right. It must be your fault. Hmph!"
Poor Jin Liwei felt like his brain cells were dying as he tried and failed to understand his wife's sudden anger.
