Maestro Ludovico De Luca leaned towards Enrique Valdez who was sitting beside him and whispered, "This is too painful to watch. The quality of musical performances has been declining with each passing year. If Xiulan wasn't a participant, I wouldn't even bother accepting the invitation to attend this year's film festival." Then he sighed. "We should've recommended Xiulan to perform tonight instead. She would definitely perform with all her heart and amaze everyone. Not like these people who are too afraid to make mistakes."

Enrique Valdez nodded. He didn't say anything but it was obvious by his bored expression that he agreed with Maestro De Luca. For a moment, he was actually tempted to drag Iris from her seat and take her to the stage, so that they could have a "proper" musical performance together.

'This is not the right time to perform together. Not yet,' he thought to himself. Where Stories Blossom: N♡vεlB¡n.

After that, he tuned out the opening ceremony and mentally wrote songs inside his head instead. Maestro De Luca also did the same. Unbeknownst to the people around them, the two music geniuses were already absorbed in their own little worlds inside their minds.

Several rows behind them, Iris would've also done the same thing as her two mentors if she was by herself. Fortunately, her darling was with her. Boredom was the last thing in her mind whenever they were together. They quietly talked to each other in whispers. Basically, they spent almost the entire opening ceremony acting lovey-dovey. The "Strong Yet Broken" cast and crew snickered at the two of them.

"How are you feeling, darling?" Iris asked Jin Liwei. "Are you sleepy? You must be exhausted."

Jin Liwei landed in France with his subordinates at dawn that day. It was only Grandpa Lu who was already up and about when he arrived at the villa. However, Jin Liwei only spent a few minutes talking with Grandpa Lu before quickly heading to the master bedroom. It had only been a couple of days but he already missed his baby girl so much. He couldn't wait to see, embrace and kiss her again.

Iris was awakened when Jin Liwei arrived in the bedroom. Perhaps it was their connection as lovers that stirred her from her usual deep sleep. She welcomed him from the bed with open arms. Then they made love lazily. Afterwards, they slept together for a couple of hours.

When the sun rose in the sky, they woke up. She wanted him to rest and sleep more, but he insisted on eating breakfast together. After that, he didn't really rest. He accompanied her throughout the day and just spent time with her. They also got ready for the opening night together.

Back to the present, Jin Liwei replied to her, saying, "Not at all. On the contrary, I feel very energetic."

"Really?"

"En."

She tilted her head to the side. "How come you're feeling energetic? You barely rested."

One corner of his mouth curved upward into a smile.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm finally able to openly show my love for you to the entire world, so of course I'm filled with energy. I'm so excited that I can barely sit still. This is one of the happiest days of my life. And it's with you again."

Jin Liwei's words made Iris smile. It brightened her entire face and made her look even more like a blushing bride.

"I'm also very happy today. I love you, Jin Liwei," she whispered to him.

His eyes darkened with the fullness of his feelings upon hearing her statement of love.
