Compared to his comfortable air travel, Jasper Leung was tense at the unbelievably tight security at Dragon Palace Hos. Even clearing customs wasn’t as strict as this!
Every ti they had to stop at a security checkpoint, he felt nervous and even guilty for no reason at all. He tried to rember if he brought any illegal substances or firearms without his own knowledge. It was completely illogical because he was innocent but he still couldn’t stop himself from feeling this nervous, no, frightened at the intimidating security protocol inside the exclusive village.
Jasper glanced at Assistant Xu Tian who was sitting beside him on the backseat as cool as a cucumber. This seed to be normal routine for him. As expected of the executive assistant of CEO Jin Liwei!
He cald down a little after being influenced by Assistant Xu. However, he began to feel nervous again once they reached Dragon Palace Ho #10. The massive gates was impressive and so was the long...long...extrely long driveway. How long was it anyway? They had been driving for ten minutes already but had yet to see the mansion.
"We’ll be there in another ten minutes," Assistant Xu told him.
Jasper nodded, not daring to complain. He didn’t have ti for it anyway because his face was almost glued to his window looking at the picturesque view outside. Finally, the palatial mansion ca into view. He gasped upon seeing it. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

"Wow!"
It was like being transported to Europe. His earlier nervousness was now gone, replaced by pure awe instead at the magnificent sight before him.
"Let’s go," Assistant Xu said.
Jasper followed the executive assistant up the stone steps. The butler welcod and led them inside the mansion. Once again, Jasper’s jaw fell down upon stepping inside. Was this a ho? It felt like he was stepping into a fantastical world so far away from his reality.
His eyes were attracted by the huge portrait hanging on top of the twin grand staircases. It was a family portrait of CEO Jin Liwei and his wife with four cute cats of different colours. The green-eyed white cat especially caught his attention because its bright smile resembled Madam Jin in an uncanny way.
The butler told him, "Mr. Leung, my apologies but you’ll have to wait before you can rest in your assigned bedroom. The master and mistress both want to et you as soon as you arrive. Please follow ."
"Ah, yes! No problem at all. I’m not that tired because the flight was very comfortable. I also want to et CEO Jin and Madam Jin to thank them for inviting here. Please lead the way, Mr. Butler."
While they were walking, Jasper tried to play it cool at first but he couldn’t stop himself from looking around like an ignorant kid. CEO Jin Liwei had a cold, indifferent, and intimidating public persona so Jasper thought that his idol businessman’s ho would reflect that. He was wrong.
Although the mansion was massive, it felt warm and even cozy. There were lots of photos of the married couple, their cats, and other people who must be their loved ones displayed here and there. The monogram LX was also everywhere. Jasper knew that it was the initials of CEO Jin and his wife.
He recognized so of the faces in the photos like the legendary genius businessman and co-founder of Jin Corporation, Sir Lu Jianhong, and the superstar Jin Chonglin. As for the others, he didn’t recognize them but guessed that they were close to CEO Jin and his wife.
"Mr. Butler, is there no photos of Miss Kitty Jin?" he asked.
The butler looked confused at first, which in turn confused Jasper, but it didn’t last long. Realization flashed in the butler’s eyes.
Behind Jasper, Xu Tian mouthed "Ketchup" to the butler. It was only then that the butler rembered the Young Miss Ketchup’s English na.
"Young Miss Kitty is also in the photos, of course," the butler said with a mysterious but polite smile. "Perhaps Mr. Leung has just not noticed it."
Jasper didn’t think too much about the butler’s earlier confused expression. He wanted to ask the butler to point out Miss Kitty in the photos but Assistant Xu Tian interrupted him before he could do so. Assistant Xu began reminding him again about the proper behaviour when eting CEO Jin and Madam Jin.
"The madam is in bed rest so we’ll et her and President Jin in their bedroom. Rember not to look around too much inside because it’s their private space. Don’t ask too many questions about the madam either and pay attention to the president’s expression. He’s extrely protective of the madam so he won’t take it kindly if you offend his wife even by accident."
"Yes, sir. I understand, sir!" Jasper began to sweat and his heart started thundering inside his chest.
"We’re here." The butler opened the door to the master suite and led them inside.
Jasper had a few seconds to calm himself before the butler beckoned them to follow him inside the master bedroom. As soon as he entered after Assistant Xu, he heard a familiar excited child’s voice.
"owowow! Welco to our ho, Jaspy! The cute and mighty Kitty is so happy that you visited our one big happy family! Mommy, Daddy, this is Kitty’s new not-so-boring employee, Jaspy! ow~"
"Thank you, Miss Kitty." He looked around, trying to look for his boss but couldn’t find her.
"Hihihi! You can’t see the cute and mighty Kitty! ow~"
Jasper didn’t have the ti to figure out where his naughty boss’ voice was coming from because his eyes imdiately zeroed in to the tall, handso figure who stood up to et him and the beautiful, delicate figure propped on the big bed. He stood ramrod straight and quickly wiped his sweaty palms on his pants before shaking his idol CEO’s hand.
Kyaaaaaah! He touched CEO Jin Liwei’s hand. OMG!
He was freaking out inside but by the grace of the almighty deity of all fanboys, fangirls and fangays, he was able to stay upright and prevent himself from fainting on his idol’s feet. His sweaty hands were trembling but at least he didn’t completely embarrass himself in front of everyone.
"Welco to our ho, Jasper Leung," CEO Jin said with a smile.
Jasper was almost blinded. His idol’s smile was too deadly! Kyaaaaaaah!
