Chapter 512 - Matrimonial Assets

After the lunch party, all the guests left the estate villa.

Iris, Jin Liwei and the others began packing their luggage. Jiang Ying Yue almost wanted to cry because her son had the most to pack among them. Grandpa Lu and Wei Lan bought Little Jun so many toys, clothes, shoes, and other items that Jiang Ying Yue didn't know the purpose of. In the end, the French household staff helped her pack because it would take her a few days if she did it by herself.

That same night, they finally left the villa estate which they called home for almost two weeks. They boarded Jin Liwei's massive luxury yacht LX. Everyone from the "Strong Yet Broken" group were also travelling together with them. They all bid goodbye to the beautiful coast of the French Riviera.

After the yacht were the limousines. Then they arrived at the private airport. Since there were many of them travelling together this time, Iris and Jin Liwei decided to use their new private jumbo jet. It was purchased right after Jin Liwei acquired his luxury yacht LX. Iris also wanted to buy something big and luxurious for them, so Jin Liwei suggested a jumbo jet.

"My family is now your family and vice versa. There's now many of us. Our family will only continue to expand from now on. Instead of taking separate private jets, isn't it more fun and economical to travel together at the same time? We can go on vacations together with our family and friends," he reasoned.

Iris was persuaded so she agreed. When she looked at the price, however, even she couldn't help but wince. So expensive! She could afford to pay it in full, but she would need to work extra hard in order to replenish her bank account. Besides, she already appropriated a good portion of her wealth for the development of her companies and in diversifying her investments.

In addition, she was also putting a lot of money into researching and developing Ketchup even further. The cat AI's abilities were growing so fast that Iris was afraid she might not be able to keep up with it. She needed to fully understand her creationno, her third baby. It was also to increase Ketchup's security and to reduce the possibility of the cat AI from being stolen and used in nefarious ways.

Seeing his baby girl's conflicted expression, Jin Liwei came to the rescue.

"How about we buy the jumbo jet together?"

Iris wasn't willing. He already bought them a yacht. She also wanted to buy something for both of them.

"Oh." Her eyes lit up when he said it like that.

He continued, "We should start buying things together now, so that we don't have to worry about any of these things after we marry. Then all we have left to worry is when to have children and how to raise them."

She hugged his arm and smiled, feeling a little shy that he was talking about marriage. The last part of his sentence made her nervous, though. The idea of giving birth to their own (human) children still filled her with a little anxiety. Fortunately, it was no longer as intense as before.

"Okay, love?" Jin Liwei asked her again.

She nodded.

And that was how the couple became the co-owners of the luxurious, private jumbo jet they named LX Air.

When the others saw the gigantic plane, their jaws fell down. Only Grandpa Lu had a knowing look on his face. Lu Zihao managed to maintain his usual roguish expression, but surprise still flashed in his eyes for a few seconds.

"We're flying commercial?" Wei Lan asked.

"No, Auntie. We're flying private. Xiulan and I bought this jumbo jet together," Jin Liwei replied to her. "She paid 50% while I paid the other half," he quickly added, wanting to make it clear to everyone that his baby girl also contributed.

As for the "Strong Yet Broken" group, a lightbulb suddenly lit inside their minds.

Since they spent so much time everyday with both Iris Long and Jin Liwei during the Sommet International Film Festival, they sometimes heard him calling her as Xiulan. During the lunch party earlier that day, they also heard everyone else referring to Iris as Xiulan. They asked and confirmed that Iris Long's real name was Long Xiulan.

They continued this train of thought.

Jin Liwei was the true owner of LX Productions. The luxury yacht they used earlier was called LX. And now, this unbelievable private jumbo jet was called LX Air. The couple also wore matching LX bangles.

The connection finally registered to them.

"LX means Long Xiulan, right?" Yin Meixing asked. "That is so romantic! So sweet! CEO Jin actually named all of these after you!"

"No, that's wrong. LX means Liwei and Xiulan," Iris corrected.

"Oh! That's even better! How romantic!"

Finally, they all boarded Iris and Jin Liwei's jumbo jet, LX Air. The inside was massive!

Beside the entertainment room, there was an arcade. On the opposite side was a children's playroom and several vending machines filled with candies, snacks, and drinks. Iris and Jin Liwei added this for Little Jun and also for their future kids. A small part of the playroom was dedicated to various cat equipment for play. They were for Ice Cream and Popcorn, if Iris and Jin Liwei decided to bring them to their travels.

In another part of the plane, the adults could enjoy some cocktails from a well-stocked bar with its very own bartender. They could even play billiards, darts, mah-jong, poker or other card games.

If the passengers wanted to relieve themselves or take a shower, the jumbo jet boasted three full bathrooms and five powder rooms. Two for the ladies and another two for the gentlemen. The other one was a family room for those who had small children like Jiang Ying Yue.

On the second flooryes, there was a second floor! The upper level was dedicated to the bedrooms, a library, gym, and a common room to relax while gazing at the clouds outside the windows.

Seeing everything inside, all had the same thought.

'Isn't this basically a mansion inside a freaking plane?'

It wasn't only the jumbo jet or its interiors that were amazing but also the crew. They were all very professional. Just like in Jin Liwei's other private jets, the crew members were all males. Iris complained about it at first but his answer made her shut up.

"I don't want to give you any reason to feel jealous," he told her. "Although I also feel a little jealous having all these men serving you, at least I know that with me around, they won't dare flirt or seduce you. And I also trust that you'll kick them in the nuts if they do anything inappropriate to you."
