Chapter 1018 - Seeds Of Destiny
"Don’t feel sad, love," Jin Liwei told her while looking straight into her eyes. "You didn’t have the luxury to pursue your dreams in your past life but the situation is different now. You now have extremely loyal fans, the Black Stars, and many other people who would pay to listen to your music and watch you perform on stage. There’s no need to hack and delete your presence in the world anymore. Now you can leave your mark in history as much as you want."
Iris gave him a bright smile. "You’re right. I shouldn’t feel sad but grateful and glad instead. The opportunity that I had been waiting for literally my entire past life has now come. This is my time."
"En. It’s your time to shine. And our time to love each other and be happy together while building our family."
"Yes." Her smile widened and became brighter.
Her mood improving once again, she continued talking about her one-day mini adventure at Jin Liwei’s university in Boston years ago. She told him about meeting an adorable little girl and an equally adorable puppy.
"I let the girl watch some cartoons on my laptop while I played with the puppy. Then the girl’s parents arrived. The girl then gave me a pack of mints before leaving with her parents." She chuckled while reminiscing about the amusing memory.
Jin Liwei took a sharp inhale. "Did you eat the mints?"
She thought about it for a moment before nodding.
His expression turned weird.
"Hm? What’s wrong, darling? Why do you look like that?"
"Evelina." His whisper was filled with amazement.
"What is it?"
"I met the girl and her puppy that day, too."
She blinked. "Really? You did?"
He nodded. "Both of them crashed into me and my friends while they were running."
"Were they okay?"
"En. I caught the girl in time before she careened to the ground. My laptop wasn’t so lucky, though. The screen got cracked."
"I’m glad that they were fine."
"I’m pretty sure that I met them before you did."
She raised an eyebrow. "How can you be sure about that? Oh. Is it because her parents weren’t with her yet?"
"Well, that’s one reason."
"What’s the other reason?"
He grinned. "You ate the mints I gave the little girl."
Her eyes went wide and her mouth fell open. "Those were your mints?!"
"En." His grin became wider.
"Oh."
Jin Liwei threw his head back and laughed out loud, releasing all of his joy, wonder and amazement. His deep, masculine laughter reverberated throughout their entire bedroom. He looked so silly that Iris couldn’t help but laugh with him.
Then he shifted the way he was holding her and stood up all of a sudden while carrying her in his arms. She gasped and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. This was the second time tonight that he lifted her up without any warning. It seemed that her husband was on a roll today.
His sudden movement caused the towel wrapped around his waist to loosen before finally falling to the ground. She felt his hard thing poking at her backside.
"Liwei!"
He was still laughing as he carried her back towards their bed. Despite his excited state, he still made sure that he was as gentle as possible while laying her down on the bed.
She didn’t unwrap her arms around his neck and pulled him down with her on the bed. A sigh of satisfaction puffed out of her smiling lips.
"How amazing, Liwei. It seems that our encounter at the library wasn’t the only incident that connected us back then."
He gave her mouth a loud, smacking kiss, making her giggle. "You ate my mints."
"I did." She laughed when he gave her another loud, smacking kiss, this time on her cheek.
He lifted himself a little so that they could look in each other’s eyes clearly. His expression was still joyful but there was now a touch of seriousness.
"Those mints were like seeds—my seeds—that planted themselves in you after you ate them. But because it wasn’t the right time yet, it didn’t germinate while you were still Evelina Vetrova. It was only when you got reborn into who you are now that the seeds germinated. We met each other again and we both know what happened. I immediately became attracted to you, wanted you to be mine no matter what, and fell so crazily in love with you."
She stroked his hair, then his face, while looking at his shining eyes filled with passion and love for her. "I think you’re right."
"I am right." His tone was certain. "Maybe the little girl and her puppy were our Cupid, tying our destinies together."
Only a few moments earlier, she felt skeptical about her husband’s claim that their encounter at the library years ago was fate. She thought that it was more likely to be just a coincidence.
Now, however, she began changing her mind especially after all of things that connected them back then in her past life.
The Italian aria she sang in the library which he rudely eavesdropped.
Their encounter with the same pair of girl and puppy.
And finally, the pack of mints that originally came from him but ended up with her.
One time was coincidence.
Second time was still coincidence—a rather lucky and amazing coincidence.
Third time was perhaps as Jin Liwei claimed—destiny.
And indeed, that was what he kept on repeating as he rained light kisses on her face.
"We’re fated, Evelina. Our destinies have been tied with each other so long ago. I believe we are. I know we are. Those incidents connecting us are proof that we belong together."
It was like a mantra that he kept on chanting, gradually hypnotizing her into also believing.
"Yes, Liwei. We’re fated. We belong together."
She wrapped her legs around his waist, letting his hard thing poke her where she was already starting to get hot and wet for him. He groaned and returned to kissing her lips, sucking on them before sticking his tongue inside her mouth.
Their tongues intertwined in a dance that they were already both so familiar with. This kiss, however, felt more special and intimate than the ones they shared before. Their bond seemed to have grown stronger and deeper tonight. They felt more connected with each other especially after discovering that they met years ago while she was still living in her original body as Evelina Vetrova.
Jin Liwei was now fully erect, yet he was not in a hurry to plunge himself inside her. His priority right now was in pleasuring his wife, his amazing wife, who he separately met in her two different bodies. It should’ve been an unbelievable notion, but to him, it was the cherry on top of his conviction that they were destined for each other.
Iris moaned when his mouth trailed wet kisses from her neck to her upper chest. She was still wearing her nightdress but it was already in a mess with the skirt hiked up her thighs and the collar exposing the top of her full and aching breasts.
His hands brushed her nipples through the thin material of her nightdress. Knowing that she was extra sensitive to touch on her breasts due to her pregnancy, he worked hard to experiment and learn the right amount of stimulation to give her shapely mounds without hurting her.
She gasped and closed her eyes. Her body arched upwards, craving more of his body heat. His scent that she loved so much made her feel so comfortable. She sighed in satisfaction.
Jin Liwei was moving his hand up her thighs when he felt his wife turning soft and lax in his arms. He froze because this feeling was already familiar to him as well.
"Love?"
As expected, there was no reply. He looked up and saw that she was already breathing in a deep and regular rhythm. A helpless chuckle escaped from his moist and slightly swollen lips. He glanced at the clock and saw that midnight had long passed.
Ah, no wonder.
It was already long past his wife and their twins’ bedtime. There was nothing he or his wife could do about it. She would fall asleep whenever their twin babies demanded that she sleep immediately no matter what.
Sighing, he first kissed his wife before kissing her flat stomach next where their twin babies were growing. After arranging them in their usual, comfortable positions, he pulled her close to him, leaving almost no space between the two of them.
His erection was still painfully hard but there was no thought of relieving himself using his hand. He would just save it after they woke up.
Morning sex wasn’t a bad idea. Not at all.
Looking forward to it, he embraced his wife more tightly, closed his eyes, and followed her into deep sleep.

Friday.
All employees of Jin Corporation and all its subsidiary companies in the country and abroad received an exciting surprise during lunch time when a buffet-style catering meal was provided for them. Their lunch time was also extended to three hours so that they could fully enjoy their meals. They learned that it was their boss’ post-celebration of his marriage to his wife, celebrity Iris Long.
It wasn’t only Jin Corporation who enjoyed a sumptuous lunch buffet catering. Iris Long’s companies—Orchidia Beauty, Planet Monkey, and Gold Heights—also went into celebration mode.
Of course, she didn’t forget about the lone employee of her perfume company, Liberté (formerly known as Sang Bleu). Although the renamed company was still inactive, its CEO Clover Chua wasn’t forgotten. Iris and Jin Liwei arranged a French chef to personally cook a meal for her in France.
