"Reciprocate?" Iris pushed his face away with a hand. "You mean you want me to have sex with you? Jin Liwei, I don't want to have sex with you."

"Baby girl, I made you orgasm so what we did just now can also be considered as sex. We had sex but with our clothes on. Hmmm. It's half a sex, I guess." He smiled lazily at her.

She frowned, her head tilted to the side, thinking. Well, what he said made sense. She might be inexperienced about this kind of matter, but she knew what sex was. Simply speaking, sex was a plug entering a socket. His plug didn't enter her socket, but it did rub against her and made her electricity flow.

There was no direct contact or penetration, but it was true that he made her orgasm.

"Fine. We had half a sex with our clothes on. Tell me what you mean by reciprocate."

"Simple. I made you orgasm so you should also make me orgasm. This way it's fair to both of us, don't you think?"

Her frown deepened. Something was telling her that something was not quite right with his reasoning, but logically speaking, his words made sense. She was the type of person who didn't like owing others. Since she owed him an orgasm, she would pay him back.

"Fine. Tell me how to make you orgasm. But I don't want to have sex with you. I mean, no full sex."

"So you're fine with half a sex like this?"

She thought for a moment. "I guess."

He smiled wider and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Good girl. But not tonight. I'll let you pay me back another time."

"Fine."

"How was your day?" he asked, changing the topic as he wrapped his arms around her tiny waist.

"I had a great time. I enjoyed performing onstage tonight."

He smiled and kissed her chin lightly. "You were amazing."

"Thank you."

"What else?"

She thought for a few seconds. "Oh, I met your brother in the hallway. He also performed tonight." She felt him stiffen and when she looked down at his face, his expression turned cold. "Don't worry. We only exchanged greetings. He's my senior at Bright Summit after all."

His cold silence began to bother her.

She didn't understand why she was suddenly feeling nervous. "Are you angry?"

"Do you still like Chonglin?"

Iris once again felt the dangerous aura he emitted the first time they met at the hotel lobby. She subconsciously shifted her torso away from him. "No. I already told you before that I have no interest in your brother."

"But you kept on following him before."

Her lips pressed together in annoyance. "That was before, Jin Liwei. And even then, I only followed him around because I wanted to have more famous friends. Shallow, wasn't I? Now I know that others misunderstood my intentions, including you. I won't stupidly bother your brother again. So stop assuming. It's annoying."

"Are you telling the truth?"

She snapped. "I don't care whether you believe me or not. Let me go."

He held her tightly as she tried to get off him. "So you don't like my brother at all?"

She paused, and then answered him honestly. "Jin Chonglin is a talented person. I respect him as a fellow artist. However, as a person, I don't know him enough to like him."

"Do you want to get to know him?"

"No."

"Do you want to get to know me?"

""

"Xiulan."

"You're too bothersome to get to know."

He was speechless for a few moments. His baby girl found him bothersome? Finally, he told her, "But I want to get to know you."

She blinked, looking at his serious eyes. "Okay."

His lips lifted into a smile. "So I also want you to get to know me."

She thought for a moment. There was nothing wrong with the two of them getting to know each other, right? Even though she didn't like him all that much because he was arrogant and controlling, they already kissed a few times. She had to admit that she liked his kisses (and their half a sex). He made her orgasm which felt amazing, and even made her promise to return the favour at another time.

Although she found him annoying at times, he mostly made her feel good. She wanted to live this life freely in the way that she wanted. So if he made her feel good, she wouldn't push him away without reason. She also didn't think that he would intentionally hurt her. Besides, even if he harmed her someday, she could always destroy him whenever she wanted.

Finally, she nodded. "Okay."

His smile widened. "Good girl." He gave her another peck on the lips.

She yawned.

"You're tired. Go back to bed and sleep."

"Okay." She started to get off his lap but he still wouldn't let her go. "Jin Liwei," she said helplessly. Why wouldn't he let her go?

"Give me my goodnight kiss first."

""

He continued to smile lazily at her.

She had the sudden urge to punch the stupid smile off his face.

"I can wait here until the sun rises in the sky, baby girl."

"Fine." She leaned down and pressed her lips quickly against his.

"Mmm. Nice. Now it's my turn to give you your goodnight kiss."

He pulled her head and kissed her hard, stabbing his tongue inside her mouth. He sucked and nibbled on her, making her moan and breathless.

Finally, he released her. "Good night, Xiulan."

She waited until her racing heart calmed down a bit before replying. "Good night, Jin Liwei."

"Dream of me tonight."

"I don't want to dream of you."

He chuckled. "So selfish, Xiulan. I dream of you every night, yet you don't want to dream of me. Unfair, don't you think?"

"Oh. You dream of me?"

"Yes."

"Tell me what kind of dreams you have about me."

"I'll let you know someday," he answered vaguely.

'Because I'm going to make those dreams a reality, baby girl. Just wait.'

"Fine." Iris couldn't help but yawn again. She was really too tired and sleepy.

Jin Liwei helped her put on her kimono robe. He took her mask from the rear deck and started putting it on her. He lightly slapped her hand when she tried to take it.

She glared at him, but otherwise allowed him to put the mask on her face.

He gave her another quick kiss before finally letting her go. He watched her disappear inside the building. A few moments later, Xu Tian climbed inside the car onto the driver's seat.

"Let's go," he ordered.

"Yes, President."

Moonlight reflected on Jin Liwei's smug smile, as the black car drove away silently in the night.
