Chapter 1486 Yin Meixing
Chapter 1486 Yin Meixing
Later that evening, after Iris and Jin Liwei put all the children (including the cats and dogs) to bed, they stayed in the living area of their master suite to wind down.
Jin Liwei wasn't one to waste time. He called his younger brother and told Jin Chonglin about his plan to build better recording studios at LXC Studio, and of course, a state-of-the-art personal recording studio for his wife.
"I want a state-of-the-art personal studio at the company, too!" Jin Chonglin declared.
"Does the company have money?" Jin Liwei asked.
Jin Chonglin hesitated but still replied, "We should have some funds to build a couple of standard recording studios."
"Then I'll cover the capital for building a few more," Jin Liwei said but before his younger brother could celebrate, he added, "But I won't pay for your personal recording studio."
"What?! Why?! Big Bro, that's unfair!"
"I said I'll cover the capital for the standard recording studios and my wife's personal recording studio. Are you my wife?"
"I'm your younger brother!!!" Jin Chonglin cried.
"You're still not my wife," Jin Liwei said in an even tone.
Jin Chonglin grumbled.
"If you don't have anything more to say, I'm going to hang up now."
"Wait, Big Bro!"
"What?" Jin Liwei asked.
"Is Sister Xiulan there with you?"
Jin Liwei glanced at his wife. Iris looked over, her head tilted to the side.
"Yes, why?"
"Can I speak with her?" Jin Chonglin asked.
Jin Liwei frowned.
Iris chuckled at his reaction. She reached out her hand and gestured for him to give her the phone.
He hesitated for a few seconds before handing her the phone with great reluctance.
She shook her head at her jealous husband while smiling. "Brother Chonglin, it's me."
"Xiulan, there's something I need to tell you," Jin Chonglin said.
"What is it?"
"Do you remember Yin Meixing?" he asked.
"Yes, of course I remember her. Why?"
"Yin Meixing contacted our LXC Studio earlier today," he said. "She says that her management company suddenly went bankrupt."
Iris raised an eyebrow, but she appeared more interested in the topic now.
Jin Chonglin continued, "It's all over the news. There should be many management companies who want to sign her over, but she says that she wants to sign with our LXC Studio."
"Oh? Then what are you still waiting for? Sign her immediately."
"I'm already working on it. I just want to let you know because she mentioned that she wants to sign with us because of you."
"Oh?" Iris' eyes widened. "But I'm not an actress. Why would she want to sign with our LXC Studio because of me?"
"She says that you're her lucky charm." They heard Jin Chonglin snort on the phone.
Jin Liwei scowled. He was about to scold his younger brother for the disrespect but Iris raised a hand to stop him. The reluctant Jin Liwei returned to his seat.
Unaware that he dodged his older brother's wrath, Jin Chonglin continued gossiping without any care.
"Why would she consider you as her lucky charm? If she wants to use someone as her lucky charm, then she should've considered me, the great superstar Prince Lin Lin!"
Iris rolled her eyes. She lost interest in the conversation once her brother-in-law started his narcissistic self-praise.
She said instead, "Yin Meixing was a Best Actress winner for the film 'Strong Yet Broken' at the Sommet International Film Festival in France. Because of that, she's now in high demand. We should sign her to our LXC Studio as soon as possible before she changes her mind. Agree to her demands as long as they're not too excessive."
"Alright, got it," Jin Chonglin said.
His tone sounded a little miffed because she interrupted his earlier talk about why he was a better lucky charm than her.
Iris didn't care. She added, "I've worked with Yin Meixing before in 'Strong Yet Broken'. I know that she's hardworking, reliable, and pays her dues. She's not someone who acts like an arrogant diva. We can offer her the highest-level contract that we have."
"Got it. I'll make the arrangements."
After the call ended, Iris turned to her husband who was now sulking. She chuckled at his childishness. She sighed before moving to sit on his lap.
To his credit, he didn't ignore her. His arms immediately wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Jin Chonglin is your brother and also my brother-in-law," she said while nuzzling his neck. "There's no need for you to feel jealous of him."
Jin Liwei's expression remained the same—stoic. But Iris knew him well enough to sense his jealousy. He was basically drowning himself in a huge pot of vinegar.
Even so, she knew that he had made a huge improvement in the way he handled his jealousy throughout their relationship. If it were the Jin Liwei before when they began dating, he would have been unable to control himself. They might have fought already.
Now, however, he was able to control himself well. Yes, he sulked but Iris could handle a sulking Jin Liwei better than a forceful Jin Liwei.
She gave his lips a peck and smiled at him. "You know that you're the only man for me, right?"
His arms tightened around her waist even more. "Say it again."
"You're the only man for me, Jin Liwei."
This time, his eyes softened and the corners of his mouth raised into a small but smug smile. "And you're the only one for me, Evelina."
Their mouths fused—slow but thorough.
When their mouths separated, both of them were panting.
"Don't be jealous of your younger brother anymore, okay?" She gave him another light peck on lips. "He has a girlfriend now, too. He and Chen Fei are already cohabiting. It looks serious between the two of them."
Jin Liwei made a sound in his throat to express his disinterest in the topic.
Iris smiled.
They were about to kiss again when another phone call interrupted them.
Ketchup announced, "Mommy, Auntie Meimei is calling. Meow~"
"Please answer it, Ketchup," Iris said.
"Okey-dokey, Mommy! Meow~"
