His Genius Wife Is A Superstar
/ His Genius Wife is a Superstar Chapter 441
Jin Chonglin removed his manager's hand from his arm .
"Chill, man . I'm just going to chat with my sister-in-law . What's wrong with that? Besides, I'm so nervous for our performance later that I need to talk to her to calm down," he said, looking as relaxed as always, not nervous at all .
Lin Dong rolled his eyes . "Nervous, my ass . I would believe it if those words came from another artist but from Jin Chonglin? No way . You've already performed all over Asia and even in other continents . You certainly have more experience than Iris in performing live and you want to talk to her to calm down? Think of something more believable next time . "
Jin Chonglin just shrugged and still moved to enter Iris' dressing room . However, Lin Dong blocked his way with his own body .
"Chonglin! I said let's go to your own dressing room! I know that she's your future sister-in-law but others don't know that . If people saw you entering or exiting her dressing room, it'll surely create even more misunderstanding . "
Lin Dong was already made aware of Iris and Jin Liwei's relationship because Jin Chonglin frequently went to Dragon Palace mansion to work with Iris on their music collaboration . As Jin Chonglin's manager, Lin Dong was responsible for checking the progress of anything related to his artist's showbiz career .
One weekend during the summer, Jin Chonglin brought him to Dragon Palace Home #10 to watch him work with Iris . At first, Lin Dong was very impressed that Iris lived in such a palatial property . When he and Jin Chonglin walked into the grand foyer, he saw the large portrait displayed prominently on top of the twin grand staircases . It was obviously a portrait of Iris with her cats…and a very familiar man .
"Huh? Chonglin, is that man Iris' mysterious fiancé?" he asked .
"Uh huh," Jin Chonglin carelessly replied .
"Wow . For a moment, I thought that it was your older brother, CEO Jin . But that's too unbelievable . Ahahaha…"
Jin Chonglin gave him a side-eye . "Unbelievable, huh . But that's actually my big bro . "
"Pft! Yeah, right . As if the President-CEO of Jin Corporation, the number one company in the country, would want to marry a mere young singer like Iris Long—"
"Say that again," a cold voice suddenly interrupted Lin Dong's next words like a whip .
Jin Liwei appeared from upstairs . He gave a cold glare at Lin Dong, as he climbed down on one of the twin grand staircases with steady steps .
"Did I just hear you describe my beloved fiancée as a 'mere young singer'? I dare you to say that again in my face . " Jin Liwei's tone was so cold that it could freeze hell itself .
"C-CEO Jin!!!"
Lin Dong was shocked out of his wits upon seeing the most powerful man in the country's business world of his generation . He shivered from the enormous pressure of Jin Liwei's cold and intimidating glare .
"Idiot," Jin Chonglin murmured to his manager under his breath .
The tense and heavy atmosphere was interrupted by the loud, welcoming meows of Popcorn . The friendly cat ran towards Jin Chonglin and greeted his uncle with much enthusiasm .
"Hey there, Popcorn . " Jin Chonglin immediately started petting the affectionate cat .
"Hm? What's wrong, darling? Why do you look like you want to kill someone? Did Brother Chonglin annoy you again?" they heard Iris' voice say .
She appeared from a side hallway carrying the lazy Ice Cream in her arms . Her eyes were trained at Jin Liwei who was now almost at the bottom of the stairs .
"Oy oy, Sister Xiulan . Why do you always think that it's my fault? It's not me who annoyed Big Bro this time," Jin Chonglin protested, and then carried Popcorn in his arms as well .
Iris tilted her head to the side . "It's because you always annoy my darling whenever you're here . If you're not brothers and we're not working together on an important music collaboration, he would've already thrown you out of here so many times already . Stop trying to tease your older brother so much, Brother Chonglin . He might run out of patience with you, you know . "
By this time, Jin Liwei had already reached the bottom of the stairs . She headed directly to him and tilted her head up for a kiss .
Of course, Jin Liwei gave her what she wanted . He pulled her close to him by the waist, careful not to squish Ice Cream between them . Then he dipped his head and gave his baby girl a light but lingering kiss on the lips .
As usual, the two didn't care that there were other people around them . They were inside their own home, after all . They could do whatever they wanted . The visitors were the ones who needed to adjust, not them .
"Che… We just arrived and you shameless couple are already drowning us in dogfood," Jin Chonglin muttered .
Lin Dong's shock this time was even more severe than when he first saw Jin Liwei climbing down the stairs a few moments ago . His eyes almost popped out of his head, and his mouth opened and closed like a gasping fish out of water at the unbelievable sight before him .
"C-CEO Jin and Iris Long are e-engaged?!!!"
After that day, Lin Dong never dared to belittle Iris Long ever again or do anything that might offend her . He saw with his own eyes how CEO Jin Liwei doted on her . Anyone who became enemies with her would also automatically become CEO Jin's enemy as well . Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to do that? Not Lin Dong!
That was why he felt so exasperated at Jin Chonglin right now . Back to the present, Lin Dong wanted to smack Jin Chonglin in the head .
Lin Dong leaned close and said in a low voice, "You want your older brother to kill you that much? I saw with my own eyes how much CEO Jin loves Iris Long . I'm telling you this right now, Chonglin . Listen to me and believe me when I say this . If CEO Jin is forced to choose between his woman and his own brother, I'm 200% sure that he'll choose Iris Long over you any time!"
Jin Chonglin scowled . "Tsk . You don't have to tell me . I already know . "
"You already know and yet you keep on chasing Iris Long? Do you have a death wish or something?!"
Jin Chonglin's scowl deepened even more . "I'm not chasing her! Watch your words, you bastard . She's my sister-in-law . I'm just being friendly . "
Lin Dong looked at the stoic-faced bodyguards guarding the door to Iris' dressing room . He pulled Jin Chonglin away from them . Then in a lower voice so that the bodyguards couldn't hear him, he told Jin Chonglin:
"I think you're acting too friendly with your future sister-in-law . Anyone who sees how you're acting towards her will describe what you're doing as 'flirting' . Is that how a brother-in-law should act towards his sister-in-law? To flirt?"
Jin Chonglin just waved his manager's words away with a dismissive hand . "If you think this is me 'flirting', then you haven't seen me flirt yet . I just like teasing her, that's all . She has become much more expressive lately compared to the detached woman we met after she made her first comeback to showbiz . Besides, it's also fun riling up my brother . I've actually never seen him get so visibly annoyed with me before . It's so refreshing to see him showing so much emotion and all because of a woman . "
He chuckled in amusement .
Lin Dong shook his head at him and muttered, "You're gonna get yourself killed one of these days . "
Jin Chonglin only laughed even more . He patted his manager's shoulder . "I told you to chill, man . I like teasing both of them, but I know my limits . I might have seduced other men's women before but I would never do that to my own brother . I respect him, you know . I would never steal his woman . I may not be the best person in the world, but I'm not such an immoral person as to cuckold my own brother . So stop colouring my friendliness to Sister Xiulan with your dirty mind . I don't have any ulterior motives towards her . "
Lin Dong looked relieved after hearing Jin Chonglin's words . But for some reason, he still couldn't completely rid himself of the bad feeling that kept on bothering him whenever he saw Jin Chonglin interacting with Iris Long . He had been with Jin Chonglin for many years now, so he could immediately tell when something was off about him .
Jin Chonglin would have this deep look in his eyes and his expression would become gentle whenever he was with Iris . Sure, this may just be him as a brother-in-law, but Lin Dong couldn't help but feel bothered about it .
"Tell me, Chonglin . Do you like Iris Long?"
