Both Iris and Jin Liwei endured their own arousals during her towel bath. He wiped her naked body with a warm and damp cloth, fighting against the urge to replace the cloth with his mouth and tongue instead.
His raging hard-on felt like it was going to burst out of his pants, especially seeing his baby girl looking so sexy. She looked even more flushed than earlier. She panted and bit her bottom lip, as her half-lidded eyes watched him wiping her body.
However, neither of them acted on their desire.
Although Iris woke up from her recent coma after just a few days, it still took a toll on her body. She wouldn't be able to keep up with both of their libidos at the moment. It would only frustrate both of them if they started something that they couldn't finish.
After the towel bath, he dressed her in pyjamas and carried her to the bed.
Her eyes were trained on his bulging pants. "Want me to help you?"
He became even more aroused hearing her offer, but he shook his head. "No need. You need to rest, baby."
"You can…you know…go back to the bathroom and take care of it."
That was what he originally planned on doing but now decided against it. From now on, he wouldn't waste his sperm anymore. Everything would be for his baby girl. If she was not present, he wouldn't allow himself to spew it out. He wanted to share all his pleasure with her.
"It's alright, baby. It'll go down on its own. Don't worry about it."
"En."
"Okay."
They lay on the bed together in each other's arms. Iris asked him to fetch her laptop because she wanted to search something up.
"Is it important? Why don't you take a nap first? You can always do it after you wake up," he suggested instead.
"Okay."
Tilting her head, she looked up at his face. He felt her gaze on him so he looked back at her. Her heart fluttered when their eyes met and before she knew it, the corners of her mouth lifted up and she was already smiling at him.
His breath caught seeing her dazzling smile. She looked so beautiful. He had no idea why his baby girl was smiling but he wasn't complaining. He couldn't stop himself from returning her smile.
Good thing that the two of them were alone in the room because they looked like two idiots doing nothing but grinning and looking at each other.
When Jin Liwei's eyes became intense, Iris began to feel flustered and shy again. She looked away, ending their eye contact. She hid her face against his chest. However, she still couldn't stop herself from smiling. She even started giggling because she just felt so happy being with him right now.
"Nothing." Finally, she stopped giggling but the smile remained on her face. She looked up at him again. "Liwei…"
"Hm? What is it, baby?"
She didn't answer right away, tracing random shapes on his chest with her index finger instead.
Jin Liwei waited for her to talk while enjoying her touch on his chest.
Her hand stopped moving. She pressed her palm on the left side of his chest, so that she could feel his heart beating against her hand. Then she raised her upper body, not all the way, just enough so that she was looking down directly at his face.
"I'm so glad that I met you, Liwei," she whispered.
He froze, his eyes widening in surprise. The hand stroking her hair stopped in mid-air. Countless emotions flashed in his eyes.
Iris felt amused watching the various changes in his expression. Giggling, she gave him a quick peck on the lips before settling down in a comfortable position halfway on top of him.
A few seconds later, she was fast asleep with a smile on her face.
Jin Liwei regained his senses afterwards. His heart galloped in his chest. He pulled her closer to him, wanting to fill up any space between them.
He held his sleeping baby girl, wishing that they would be together forever. He would probably go insane if he ever lost her.
The warmth of her body and her deep, gentle breathing lulled him to sleep.

For the next few days, Iris and Jin Liwei stayed at home. They debated how long she should take to rest before returning to work. She felt that a couple of days was already more than enough. He disagreed, wanting her to take a whole week off from work to make sure that she was fully recovered.
He even called Wang Yingjie to ask for his opinion. Wang Yingjie was of the same opinion as Jin Liwei, telling Iris that resting for a week was the safest.
In the end, she could only acquiesce. Second Brother was a doctor after all. He knew what he was talking about.
Lu Zihao stayed with them, showing no signs of leaving. Someone even delivered his luggage to the penthouse and he just settled in just like that. Unlike the cold Jin Liwei, Lu Zihao was very charming. Everyone in the household quickly warmed up to him, even Yi Mei, who thought that he might be a better choice for the Young Miss than Jin Liwei.
However, Lu Zihao often went out somewhere during the day and only returned in time for dinner in the evening. He didn't bother Iris or Jin Liwei that much.
As for Jin Liwei and Iris, their lovey-doveyness during this week reached another level that the household sometimes couldn't bear to watch them anymore. Dom almost looked like a drooling crazed fan, cheering and bouncing and squealing at his boss and sir boss.
Jin Liwei didn't know what triggered this change in his baby girl but he wasn't going to complain. In fact, he loved it!
One day, the two of them were lounging in the living area. They were sitting together on the couch but doing different things. He was watching the business news on TV while she was busy with something on her laptop.
Suddenly, she closed her laptop and stared at him.
"Baby?"
She didn't reply right away, just continued staring at him.
"Liwei darling…"
"Yes, baby?" He felt delighted hearing her call him "darling".
"I don't know… I'm not sure… But it's possible," she mumbled under her breath, looking nervous.
He switched off the TV with the remote and then pulled her to sit on his lap. "Tell me."
"Liwei darling, I think…"
"Hm?" He encouraged her with his eyes.
"I think I'm falling in love with you."
