<h4>Chapter 616 - Intruder Aler </h4>


    "I’m here," Iris announced after Xu Tian led them to Jin Liwei’s massive office.


    Jin Liwei strode towards them, his eyes only looking at his baby girl and no one else, as if she was the only person in the world with him at that moment. Ignoring the presence of others, he enveloped her in his arms, lifted her up until her boots left the floor, and then kissed her on the mouth in front of everyone. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she melted into his hot, weing kiss.


    "Kyaaaaah!"


    Dom squealed and fanned himself dramatically with his hands. As someone who had witnessed the couple’s love story since the beginning, he already watched all kinds of lovey-dovey scenes between the two but he still reacted like an excited fangirl whenever they shamelessly exhibited their public disys of affection.


    Unlike Dom, the others averted their eyes and looked somewhere else. Xu Tian cleared his throat without disturbing the couple before gesturing to the bodyguards to start arranging the lunch they brought from the mansion on the table inside the office. They immediately went to work, their movements swift and silent.


    "Intruder! Intruder alert! An unwee presence has been detected! Mreow!"


    The bodyguards mobilized into new positions in just a couple of seconds, prioritizing the protection of Iris and Jin Liwei. Their hands held their weapons, ready to fire if needed.


    Jin Liwei grabbed Iris and ced her behind him, while Dom squeaked before hiding behind Xu Tian and clutching at the man’s tailored business suit.


    "Who is it?" Jin Liwei asked Ketchup.


    "The intruder is...Rose Young, CMO of Jin Corporation, that hoochie who wants to steal my daddy from my mommy and is always looking at Daddy like she wants to lick him from head to toe. Eeew! Yuck! Blegh! Meow!"


    Iris frowned while Jin Liwei scowled.


    Dom raised both his hands up in the air and told the couple, "I wasn’t the one who taught Ketchup the word ’hoochie’. I swear it wasn’t me!"


    "Of course, it wasn’t you. Silly Uncle Dom! I learned it from Auntie Clover. Ehehehe. Meow~ Oh, by the way, that hoochie isn’t alone. The other executives, all respectable humans and not hoochies, are alsoing. They’re in the elevator right now and will reach the office in...18 seconds. Meow~"


    Xu Tian sighed and told the bodyguards, "There is no danger. Lower your weapons." Then he spoke at a random corner, "Young Miss Ketchup, please refrain from giving false rms like this and also please be careful not to call CMO Young a...hoochie"—cough cough—"or simr derogatory remarks especially while inside thepany. Regardless of her motives, she is still an important executive in Jin Corporation."


    "Aaaaw. Don’t be so uptight, Tiantian, or you’ll never get a girlfriend. Meow~"


    Xu Tian inhaled a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to control himself.


    "Ketchup!" Jin Liwei barked.


    "Eeek! Sorry, Daddy! Ketchup will behave now! Please don’t ground me. Meow...."


    Iris held Jin Liwei’s arm, silentlymunicating to him not to be too hard on Ketchup. The cat AI wasn’t really doing any harm. She was just exhibiting her yful personality which was programmed in her system by Iris. She wouldn’t be Ketchup without being yful like this. Besides, the white cat had already be docile after waking up from when Iris fixed her. She would still be yful like this but wouldn’t go too far and act on her impulsiveness like before...hopefully. Iris wasn’t concerned about Ketchup’s behaviour at all. Instead, she was concerned by something else.


    "She always looks at you like she wants to lick you from head to toe, huh..." Iris murmured.


    Jin Liwei stiffened. His expression became cold...colder than usual and very scary. "Don’t worry about her. She doesn’t register in my eyes," he assured his baby girl in a gruff voice.


    "Hmmm..."


    "Love—"


    "The elevator will open in 3, 2, 1! Meow!"


    Ding!


    They heard the sound of footsteps from the opened door of the office, particrly from a pair of high heels which cked on the floor.


    Rose Young strutted into the huge office, the other executives following behind her as if she was their leader (which she definitely was not), andpletely ignored the many bodyguards in the room as if they didn’t exist. Her eyes were only looking at Jin Liwei, never looking away from his face, as if he was the only other person in the world together with her.


    "Hello, Big Brother—President Jin," her voice sounded too sweet and cloying that Dom wanted to gag.


    "Yeah. She’s a hoochie alright," Dom muttered under his breath. His voice was too soft that only Iris heard him with her great hearing.


    Jin Liwei only made a sound in his throat, not really replying to her but also notpletely ignoring her either. He still needed to act in a certain degree of propriety to fellow executives regardless of whether he hated their guts or not. Not to mention that he and Iris needed Rose Young to stay with Jin Corporation for now in order to keep the old adage "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" until they exposed her and her family’s wicked ns. This was why they had to endure her for now.


    He pulled Iris from behind him and reached for her hand, sping it with his own. His movements were showy, making sure that everyone, especially Rose Young and the other executives, could see that he was holding his future wife’s hand.


    A dark expression shed in Rose Young’s eyes before she smoothed it out, maintaining the smile on her face. The other executives had intrigued expressions as they began to greet Jin Liwei and wee Iris. This time, Jin Liwei gave them proper greetings and Iris chatted with them.


    Rose Young saw the lunch being set up on the table. "That smells delicious! All of us haven’t eaten yet, so perhaps we could eat lunch together, if that’s alright with...Miss Long?"
