Chapter 1242: Sweeter Than Chocolates
"Does that make sense to you?" Iris asked with a tilt of her head.
Jin Liwei paused and thought about it first. "I think I get what you're trying to say. Somewhat."
He wanted to ask for more clarification but saw that his wife was now distracted. She appeared to be thinking about something while swallowing and even licking her lower lip.
Her expression reminded him of the way she would look at him whenever she was aroused and he stood naked in front of her. His eyes darkened, thinking that his wife wanted to get some action with him. He was about to whisper some words of seduction to her ear and pull her to the nearest empty room but her next words dashed his hopes.
"Talking about chocolates is making me crave for some." She licked her lips again. "Let's hurry up, darling. I want to eat some brownies."
Jin Liwei stiffened upon realizing that his wife was craving for chocolates and not his body. Dammit! Were chocolates more delicious than him?
"Hm? What's wrong, darling?" Iris shook his hand when he didn't reply.
He sighed and released a dry chuckle. Then he fished something from his pocket. It was a bite-sized chocolate. He now had the habit of filling his pockets with sweets ever since his wife became pregnant. He unwrapped the small chocolate and fed it to his wife's waiting mouth.
"Mmm~" Iris closed her eyes and literally looked like she was having an orgasm.
Jin Liwei's eyes darkened even further. This time, he was the one who swallowed hard. A familiar something below his belt also started hardening.
"Is it delicious?" he asked, his voice low and husky.
Still in the middle of savouring the sweet taste of the chocolate on her tongue, she automatically nodded after hearing her husband's question, not realizing his change of mood.
"Can I taste it, too?"
"Huh?"
She finally looked at her husband but before she could complete her movements, he grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her for a hard kiss. His tongue invaded her mouth and swept inside. She moaned and was about to respond when he pulled away.
"Sweet." This time, he was the one who licked his moist lips while staring straight at her dazed eyes. "But not necessarily delicious."
She blinked a few times, frowning.
"My wife is sweeter and more delicious than any chocolate in the world," he said.
Her frown disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile.
"How about you, wife? Which do you think is sweeter and more delicious—chocolates or me?"
Her smile widened. "Guess."
"Me, of course."
She giggled but quickly restrained herself and scoffed, pretending to be critical of his claim. "From where did you get your confidence?"
He pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her ears. "Naturally, from my wife's love. I know that she loves me the most."
"Your wife sounds like a great woman."
"Indeed. She's the best. Nobody else in the world can compare to her."
Iris couldn't stop herself from smiling. Her arms wrapped around his waist while she enjoyed her husband flirting with her.
"So, wife, do you agree that you love me more than chocolates?"
She didn't reply but tightened her arms around his waist.
"Chocolates can only give you momentary pleasure from the sugar high, but I can give you longer-lasting pleasure that will blow your mind." He punctuated his words with a slow but firm grind of his hips.
Iris immediately felt his erection on her belly. She gasped and looked up at him.
"You pervert!"
Although this was what she said, she looked just as hungry as him. The way they looked at each other was as sensual as sizzling foreplay.
"Let's do it quick?" he whispered the seductive suggestion directly to her ear and began nibbling on her earlobe, making her shiver.
She was tempted but her wits stayed with her. Looking around, the hallway was empty. Still, she could sense the presence of patrolling guards who most likely only hid themselves to give her and her husband some privacy.
"I would love to do it, darling…."
His eyes lit up. He licked her ear.
She shivered again and wanted to continue what they were doing somewhere else but sighed in regret.
"…but it's not the right time. We have guests waiting for us. We're the ones hosting this Christmas gathering. It's rude to leave everyone hanging without completing what we planned for tonight. The kids are looking forward to receiving their presents. Also, I still want to see Grandpa Lu, Big Brother and Big Sister tonight. I want to know how everything went for them."
Jin Liwei released a big sigh of regret as well. His erection was uncomfortable but it couldn't be helped.
She patted his cheek. "Just wait and we'll do it later in bed. Okay, darling?"
"You'll be too exhausted by then, love."
"Then tomorrow morning?"
"Okay." He bent his head down and pecked her lips. "Don't worry about me anymore, love. I can bear it. Let's go. Bacon just said that Grandpa Lu and the others have entered the village gates. They'll be here in about half an hour."
They hurried to their destination. It was the hall where Iris and Jin Liwei held their wedding banquet. Buffet tables and another ten chefs in their own specialty stations were displayed. The space was larger and the food much more abundant here.
"Master!"
"Mistress!"
"Sir!"
"Madam!"
Their staff greeted them. There was a lot of them, hence Iris and Jin Liwei chose the staff Christmas gathering in this large hall. Despite this, the staff members still had to take turns to eat and have fun because some of them were still on duty. A few of them already started their holiday break but returned just for today to join the Christmas gathering. The rest would also take turns having their holiday break in the next few days so that the mansion wouldn't be left empty.
It was livelier here compared to the gathering that the couple were holding for their family and friends, mainly due to the sheer number of their staff. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
Iris looked around and felt happy to see the staff enjoying themselves. They were playing various parlour games. She and Jin Liwei provided the prizes which were comparable to the Black Stars' three-nation bonanza earlier this month.
