Meanwhile, Barry Allen's performance became increasingly "unsatisfactory" due to Lin Tian's "secret interference".
Lin Tianrang would occasionally have "Zero" create some minor "trouble" to distract the Flash.
For example, what if an "emergency" suddenly occurs on the other side of the city while Barry and Iris are on a date? Or what if Barry has to be absent when Iris needs his company because of a "special mission"?
Lin Tian would even use mental suggestion to amplify Barry's "flaws" when Barry and Iris were together—such as his slowness, his hesitation, and his avoidance of Iris's feelings.
One to two to go.
Iris's disappointment with Barry grew stronger and stronger.
She began to feel that Barry might really only be suitable as a friend or family member.
And that mysterious, powerful, yet seemingly exceptionally attentive Lin Tian...
Perhaps he was the one destined for her?
Although the idea made her feel scared and guilty.
But the scales of emotion have completely tipped.
Finally, on a night filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Tian felt that the time was about right.
He once again "coincidentally" appeared in front of Iris, who was drowning her sorrows in a bar after being stood up by Barry once again.
This time, he did not keep his distance.
He sat beside her, drank with her, and listened to her pour out her confusion and complaints about life, relationships, and the future.
He didn't offer much commentary on Barry, but simply looked at her with the gentlest gaze, comforted her with the most understanding tone, and supported her with the strongest arms.
Under the influence of alcohol and Lin Tianna's gentle, persuasive advances, they were completely captivated.
Iris's last line of defense completely collapsed.
She looked at the man in front of her, a man who seemed to always see through her heart and always appear when she needed him most.
She could no longer suppress her emotions!
She leaned forward and shut Lin Tian's mouth!
This contained a hint of drunken impulse, a long-suppressed desire, and a resolute determination like burning one's boats!
Lin Tian chuckled inwardly, but outwardly displayed an expression of "surprise" and "hesitation".
He responded to this with a mixture of reluctance and acceptance.
Then everything happened naturally.
Iris completely cast aside all reason and all concerns.
When everything calmed down.
Iris nestled in Lin Tian's arms, looking out at the sky that was already turning a pale white, her heart filled with complex emotions.
There was satisfaction and sweetness, but also a sense of emptiness and deep guilt.
She knew she had made a choice.
A choice that she might regret, but from which there is no turning back.
She betrayed Barry, even though they weren't lovers, and she also betrayed her own past convictions.
She was completely captivated by this sweet yet dangerous abyss called Lin Tian.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Tian gently stroked her smooth back and asked softly.
“It’s nothing,” Iris shook her head, burying her face in his chest. “Lin, I…”
"Shh," Lin Tian gently pressed his finger against hers, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "You don't need to say anything."
"From now on, you are my woman."
"I will protect you and give you everything you want."
"All you need to do is trust me."
Yes, as long as I can be with him
Even if it means eternal damnation, I would be willing.
Iris closed her eyes and offered her her red dress.
Lin Tian, on the other hand, looked with satisfaction at the beautiful reporter in his arms, whom he had completely won over.
My heart was filled with the joy of being in control of everything.
well
Another important "queen" has been added to the fold.
Barry Allen, the Flash, I'll be taking care of your childhood sweetheart from now on.
Hope you like this "big gift"?
The morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury hotel suite, gently illuminating the two people sleeping in each other's arms on the bed.
Iris West's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view was Lin Tian's sleeping face, so handsome it resembled that of the god Apollo.
His breathing was steady. When he was asleep, he lost some of his usual playfulness and domineering nature, and gained a rare tranquility and gentleness, yet he still exuded a fatal attraction.
She actually had a relationship with this mysterious and dangerous man!
And this was even before she had completely severed ties with Barry and Eddie!
A strong sense of guilt and a hint of panic washed over me again.
But when she felt Lin Tian's warm and strong embrace and smelled his comforting and intoxicating scent, her guilt and panic seemed to be replaced by an even stronger emotion called "despair" and "belonging".
Looking at Lin Tian's sleeping profile, she couldn't help but reach out her trembling fingers and gently trace his perfect features—his high, straight nose, his sensual thin lips, and his well-defined jawline…
This man was like a magical abyss, drawing her in willingly, step by step, despite the danger.
Just then, as if sensing something, Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes.
Those deep eyes looked exceptionally bright in the morning light, carrying a hint of languor from just waking up, yet they seemed to see through everything.
"Good morning, my dear reporter." He looked at Iris, who was so close to him, a playful smile playing on his lips, his voice husky and sexy.
"Good morning..." Iris's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. She quickly withdrew her finger, turned her head away in a fluster, and dared not meet his gaze. Her cheeks were so red that they could bleed.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?" Lin Tian asked knowingly, reaching out to pull her closer into his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head.
"No...no." Iris's voice was barely audible, her body trembling slightly from the intimate contact.
The passion of last night was still vivid in her mind. At this moment, the two of them were almost touching, and this contact made her feel both shy and heart-pounding.
"Still thinking about Barry? Or that cop kid?" Lin Tian's voice suddenly became low and deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible danger.
Iris was startled and quickly shook her head: "No! No! I wasn't thinking about them!"
She knew that although the man in front of her could be incredibly gentle, he was actually domineering and possessive at heart!
She dared not anger him at this moment!
"That's good." Lin Tian's tone returned to its previous languidness. "After all, you've been my woman since last night."
"Your body and your heart can only belong to me."
"Understand?"
His voice was gentle, yet carried an unquestionable tone of command.
Hearing this domineering declaration, Iris felt not resentment, but rather a strange sense of security and sweetness, as if she were "owned" and "assumed sovereignty".
Could it be that I'm actually a masochist at heart?
Iris was startled by the thought and quickly banished it from her mind.
"I..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
To admit it? Or to deny it?
It seems that no matter how she answers, she cannot change the fact that she has completely fallen for him.
In the end, she could only bury her face in Lin Tian's arms and softly hum "Mmm" in an almost inaudible voice.
It's like... tacitly agreeing.
Lin Tian felt the obedience of the person in his arms and smiled with satisfaction.
Very well, this intelligent and rational female reporter has finally been completely "tamed" by herself.
Although the process was a little more complicated than expected, the result was...satisfactory.
Silently, he infused a faint trace of the Hehuan True Qi, which contained his spiritual imprint, into the depths of Iris's soul.
This is not a mandatory control.
Rather, it is a kind of... subtle influence and binding.
It will make Iris subconsciously develop a deeper dependence and trust in him.
It will cause her emotional balance to completely tip towards him.
Even in the future, if someone tries to use mind control or illusions to deal with Iris, this mark can provide some protection, provided that the opponent's mental strength is not stronger than Lin Tian's.
Iris was unaware of Lin Tian's subtle actions.
She felt more intoxicated and lost than ever before.
It was as if her entire soul had been tightly fused with this man, and they could never be separated again.
However, he did not plan to start his morning exercise immediately.
After all, the days are long.
Moreover, he also needs to have a good "communication" with this newly appointed "bedmate" and arrange her next "tasks".
“Iris,” Lin Tian gently stroked her hair, his voice tender, “I hope you can keep what happened last night a secret.”
"Hmm?" Iris looked up, somewhat confused.
“Our relationship can’t be known to too many people yet. Especially… Barry Allen, and your father,” Lin Tian explained, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. “This is good for you, and for them.”
He certainly wasn't really thinking about Barry and Joe.
He simply didn't want his "prey" to be alerted too early, lest he cause a commotion.
Furthermore, having Iris play the role of an "undercover agent" in front of Barry and Joe, someone who "deeply loves" them but is forced to "hide" the truth.
This kind of setting... seems pretty appealing?
"Why?" Iris asked, somewhat puzzled and a little aggrieved. "Is our relationship something we can't be done with in public?"
She longed to be with Lin Tian openly and honestly, and to announce their relationship to the whole world!
"Of course not," Lin Tian immediately reassured him, his tone filled with "helplessness" and "deep affection," "It's just that the time isn't right yet."
"As you know, my identity is very special, and I have many enemies." Lin Tian began to talk nonsense with a straight face. "I don't want our relationship to bring danger to you and your family."
"Once I've dealt with everything, and once I can guarantee you an absolutely safe and stable future, I will personally announce to the world that you are my woman."
These words (from Qian Zhao), filled with a sense of "responsibility" and "thinking of her," instantly dispelled all of Iris's doubts and grievances!
It turns out he chose to keep it a secret to protect me!
He really does love me!
Iris's heart was once again filled with immense sweetness and emotion!
"Okay!" She nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with trust and love as she looked at Lin Tian. "I'll listen to you! I'll keep it a secret!"
