Iris was a bit confused as to why Jin Liwei looked irritated. She tried to think of what she had done, but found that she couldn't remember anything from the moment she started coding. She didn't even notice when he came out of the shower and had no idea when she sat on his lap.

"Sorry." Indeed, she was. He was a guest in her home, but she failed to take care of him properly because she was too absorbed with her computer.

"Hmph."

"Are you angry?" She looked directly at his eyes.

He softened and then sighed, realizing at how childish he was acting. "No." He kissed her, nibbling on her lower lips.

She sighed and closed her eyes, enjoying the light kiss.

"What were you doing?" he asked, stroking her back.

"Hmmsoftware program." She nuzzled against his neck, inhaling his clean scent. She felt pleased when she smelled her own soap on his skin.

"What kind?"

"Just a little something easy to make and sell for some extra money."

"Oh. How much are you going to sell it for?"

"Hmmmaybe about a hundred grand. It depends on how much the buyer negotiates."

His eyebrows rose. "How long did you work on it?"

"Just now."

"You mean you started working on it while I was in the shower and just finished it now?"

She nodded.

"What kind of software is this that you can make it in less than an hour and sell it for one hundred thousand RMB?"

She straightened and frowned at his words, feeling insulted. She lifted her chin with haughty pride. "Excuse me, it's one hundred thousand US dollars. This is already a bargain for something created by me."

He looked at her and realized that she wasn't joking. He lifted his hand and stroked her cheek. "What kind of software is it?"

Her eyes shifted around and she blinked repeatedly, avoiding his gaze.

He caught her guilty look and was amused. "Hmm. Is it something illegal?"

He chuckled when he felt her stiffen.

"II'm going to shower." She tried to stand but his arms locked around her waist and held her tightly, not allowing her to leave.

"Tell me, baby girl. Don't worry. I'm not going to judge you and I won't tell anyone."

He waited patiently as she thought for a couple of minutes.

She bit her lips. "Wellit still should be within the legal boundaries in the country of the person I'm selling it to sono, it shouldn't be illegalI think." She looked at him and gave a tentative smile.

He threw his head back and laughed.

Huh? Why was he laughing? Iris was utterly confused. Was he mocking her? It didn't look like it. But why was he laughing so hard? She didn't understand.

"Oh, my dear Xiulan. You're the best!" He framed her small face in his hands and pulled her, giving her a loud, smacking kiss on the lips.

Frowning, she pushed him away. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I'm just amazed by you."

She blinked. He just complimented her, right? She smiled.

"So you have time to make software and sell it for a hundred grand. When will you have time to work on some reports for me? I can pay more than a million per report. Just give me a price."

"Hmm. It depends. Which languages can you proficiently read?"

"Chinese, English, French...a little bit of Spanish and Japanese."

She nodded. "If the information are in these languages, I can create the reports more quickly because I won't have to translate. I took longer on the reports I sent you before because I had to translate from Russian to Chinese. As for the price, let's just stick to the 1 million RMB per report plus the miscellaneous fees accrued during the gathering of information."

"Wait. You know French, Spanish and Japanese too?"

She nodded, grabbing a notepad and a pen from the desk before giving them to him. "Write the names of the individuals or companies you want the reports about and I'll work on them during my free time."

He ignored the items she was handing him. "How many languages do you know?"

"Hmm." She tilted her head to the side, thinking. "I can't list all off the top of my head. Most of the major languages spoken in the international commercial world, I guess. I like learning languages, so I have varying proficiency in different ones. I'm most comfortable and fluent in European languages though, as I personally find them easier to learn."

He frowned. Then he asked in French, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Of course. Stop joking around and write on this notepad," she replied in perfect French.

"How about now? Do you understand me?" He switched to Spanish.

She looked at him like he was an idiot before replying again in perfect Spanish. "Yes. Are you going to write or not?"

"I'll kiss you if you can understand what I'm saying now," he said in Japanese.

"I'll punch your face before you can kiss me. Why are you being so annoying?" she grumbled in Japanese.

His mouth fell open, looking at her in amazed disbelief.

"Tsk. If you're not going to write, then don't. It's not like it's my responsibility to make those reports for you," she said in English, her British accent sounding so sexy to his ears that he instantly got a raging hard-on.
