Chapter 1534 (Title is a Spoiler)


    Jin Liwei admitted that he sometimes found a strange pleasure when his wife scolded him, especially when she got mad from jealousy.


    Most of the time, it was he who felt jealous and possessive. His jealous and possessive nature would always be there, but at least now, he could control how he reacted to prevent his wife from feeling suffocated.


    As for Iris, she rarely felt jealous and possessive maybe because she felt more secure in their rtionship than him. But when she did feel jealous and possessive, she was a force to be reckoned with.


    There was still a fear deep inside him that she would leave him one day if he took their rtionship for granted. This was why he would always do everything in his power to be the man that she needed.


    He would always give in to her as long as her demands didn''t hurt herself. Of course, he wouldn''t deliberately make her feel jealous or possessive, but he would feel secretly happy whenever she did. It meant that she cared about him and wanted him to stay with her.


    What he feared the most was her indifference. It would hurt him terribly if she started ignoring him and stopped caring about him. He would rather that she hated him rather than ignore him.


    But these were just thoughts for those extreme situations. Right now was a beautiful life of marriage and contentment for both of them. He would do whatever was needed to safeguard his marriage and protect the beautiful family that they had built together.


    So he could somehow rte to his younger brother when Jin Chonglin said that he began to look forward to Chen Fei scolding him.


    Jin Liwei watched as his wife paid rapt attention to Jin Chonglin''s confession just like everybody else. Some of the guests even fished out their phones to record.


    He sighed.


    Iris noticed it and asked, "Why are you sighing?"


    "Chonglin is not thoughtful enough," he said.


    She tilted her head to the side.


    Seeing the question in her eyes, he said, "If he''s going to do what we all think he''s going to do, then this is not the right ce at all. I doubt that he made careful ns. I bet he just thought about it, maybe this morning, and wants to do it immediately. He''s my brother, so I know that he can be very impulsive. For one, he''s going to put too much pressure on Chen Fei in front of all these people. And most importantly, how dare he do this at your Libertéunch party? Is he trying to overshadow yourunch with his thoughtless, impulsive actions? When he''s done, watch how I''ll deal with him."


    Iris chuckled. "So you''re upset for my sake?"


    It had nothing to do with Chen Fei, her husband just wanted to vent for her sake. She hugged his waist while continuing to watch Jin Chonglin chatter on and on about the beginning of his rtionship with Chen Fei.


    He snorted. "You''ve waited so long tounch Liberté. I know that you didn''t even n to hire Chonglin as the male ambassador in the first ce but he insisted on tagging along. Now he''s going to take all the attention from yourunch with his proposal. He could''ve chosen another time and ce and made careful preparations by himself, but he''s toozy. He wants to ride on Liberté''s coattails." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "I think that it''s fine," she said patting his chest, trying to calm him down. "Liberté can use this as publicity."


    He pursed his lips but didn''t refute her. "Up to you."


    She nodded.


    They continued to watch.


    After ten minutes, Iris frowned. "When is he going to stop talking? Is he not going to propose yet? Maybe we made a mistake and he just wants to talk like this?"


    Jin Liwei also frowned. His disapproval of his younger brother''s actions was clear on his face.


    The other guests were also quickly losing interest. They didn''t bother waiting for the trantions anymore and returned to chatting about other topics by themselves.


    Jin Chonglin didn''t notice this at all. He still continued enthusiastically talking on and on until the exasperated Chen Fei kicked his shin.


    "How long are you going to make me stand here?! Are you going to propose to me or not?!"


    "Oh. Oh!" Jin Chonglin fished out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it, presenting a huge diamond ring to her. "Chen Fei, I love you. Will you marry me?"


    Chen Fei pouted. "You''re not going to kneel?!"


    "Oh. Oh, right!" He knelt down on one knee. In his haste, he knocked down his knee on the floor too hard, causing him to wince in pain. But he gritted his teeth, not wanting anything to ruin his proposal.


    "Now ask me again," she said.


    "Chen Fei, will you marry me?"


    The guests who had already lost interest quickly returned their attention back to the couple. Some started cheering for Jin Chonglin while the others were urging Chen Fei to say yes.


    Chen Fei didn''t answer. She just looked at him.


    One minute, two minutes.


    "What''s your answer?!" Jin Chonglin demanded.


    Why was she taking so long to answer?


    He hadn''t been this nervous for a long time.


    Was she going to say no?


    Why wouldn''t she marry him?


    He was the superstar Jin Chonglin!


    "You know," Chen Fei began to speak.


    He stood in attention, not wanting to miss a word she said.


    "This is the first time that you told me you love me," she said.


    "Huh?" He was in a daze.


    Was this really the first time that he said that he loved her?


    She continued, "You''ve never told me before that you love me and you expect me to ept your marriage proposal? Do you think we live in ancient times? That I should marry you simply because you''ve imed me in public?"


    Jin Chonglin started trembling. He had a bad premonition.


    "Marry you? Hah! In your dreams! My answer is no!"


    Chen Fei turned around and walked away.
