His Genius Wife is a Superstar

While the LinRis shippers and many other people were freaking out about Iris' promise to introduce her fiancé "soon", she put the matter aside for now and continued to work hard. Despite her busy schedule, she didn't forget to spend some time being lovey-dovey with her darling even when they weren't physically together.

She had already stopped monitoring Jin Corporation's surveillance system because Jin Liwei's assistant, Xu Tian, had begged her not to do so anymore for the sake of the employees' mental health. Almost everyone at Jin Corporation was now afraid of being haunted to insanity by the evil demon with a robotic voice.

But one thing that she didn't stop was the lunch deliveries to Jin Liwei. It came to a point that they had to hire an extra chef at the mansion because of the increased workload.

Jin Liwei informed her that everyone at Jin Corporation was now enthusiastic about meetings because they knew that his fiancée would feed everyone. It was a good thing for the company because his employees' productivity increased as a result of the anticipation for food.

Both Iris and Jin Liwei also started training again in their respective martial arts. Yu Mo, a.k.a. Fourth Brother, started coming over the mansion to train Iris once again.

Jin Liwei returned to the karate dojo after such a long time. After attaining third-degree black belt years ago, he stopped training because he became too busy running Jin Corporation. He asked his second brother, Wang Yingjie, to accompany him this time.

Wang Yingjie was a fifth-degree black belt and continued to train in karate even when the rest of them stopped. Although he wasn't as active in karate as before, he still made sure to go to the dojo at least once a month or so.

Their eldest brother, Lin Yehan, reached second-degree black belt but had no interest in karate anymore. He was happy focusing most of his time on his passion: sports shooting.

With all of these going on in their lives, it was quite a wonder how Iris and Jin Liwei still managed to spend time together. But they did.

Both of them felt very happy.

However, Iris felt a faint dread at a certain date that was fast approaching. It was the day that Wei Lan would be returning to the country. If Wei Lan was only visiting, Iris wouldn't think much of it. But this time, the woman would be staying at the penthouse for who knew how long.

When Iris informed Yi Mei and the household staff that Wei Lan would be staying at the penthouse for an indefinite period of time, she could sense their horror even when they weren't showing it on their expressions.

Clover told Iris that she overheard Yi Mei giving an in-depth doomsday sort of lecture to the penthouse's entire household staff on how to interact with Wei Lan—or more like how to avoid being the target of her wrath.

After hearing about her staff's anxiety, Iris was seriously having second thoughts about agreeing to let Wei Lan stay in the penthouse. However, she already gave her promise to the woman.

It ended up being quite a stormy day when Wei Lan was scheduled to arrive in the country. Many flights were cancelled. In fact, Yi Mei and the others were hoping that Wei Lan's flight would be delayed for another day or longer.

Unfortunately, the woman's flight arrived on time despite the bad weather. The driver picked her up from the airport. Yi Mei and the others had no choice but to welcome their dreaded guest at the penthouse.

Iris, Jin Liwei, Dom and Clover were busy working so they weren't there to welcome Wei Lan when she arrived. Both Iris and Jin Liwei already decided to stay at the penthouse for a few days to spend some time with Wei Lan after work.

A sense of uncertainty and trepidation enveloped all of them at the thought of having to regularly interact and even live with Wei Lan.

Later that evening.

Unlike their usual routine, Jin Liwei picked up Iris, Dom and Clover at Orchidia Beauty. Normally, they went home on their own because they had different schedules. Iris especially had an extremely irregular schedule as a celebrity.

Earlier that day, Iris and Dom were busy with her showbiz work. Afterwards, they dropped by Planet Monkey to check on the gaming company. Then late in the afternoon, they headed to Orchidia Beauty to work. Iris and the others were extremely busy preparing for the company's first grand product launch soon.

As for Jin Liwei, he originally didn't plan on picking up his baby girl and the others. However, he was informed that his future mother-in-law had already arrived at the penthouse. The two of them hadn't officially met each other yet.

He didn't want to arrive home early and meet Wei Lan by himself. He decided that it was best if he met his future mother-in-law in the presence of his baby girl.

Gold Heights Condominium.

The delicious aroma of food wafted up their noses, making their mouths water, when the elevator door opened to the penthouse.

"Mmm! Yum yum! Junjun hungwy, Mama!" Little Jun told Iris, being the first one to react to the delicious aroma.

"Don't worry, Little Jun. We're going to eat soon," she assured her godson. She was carrying him in her arms.

Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun waited for them to arrive at the condo lobby. Iris invited them to join the welcome dinner for Wei Lan. Although the mother and son almost always had their meals at the penthouse, Jiang Ying Yue was hesitant in joining the dinner because she wasn't personally familiar with Iris' mother. All she knew about Wei Lan was her unpleasant reputation, just like the Iris in the past.

However, Iris insisted that she wanted Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun to join the dinner. She wanted to show Wei Lan that Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun were family and that they had every right to go in and out of the penthouse. She didn't want Wei Lan treating the mother and son badly. If she did, Iris would kick the woman out immediately.

So all of them entered the penthouse together.

Then a tall, gorgeous, middle-aged woman wearing a long, flowy, tailored satin jumpsuit stood up from the couch in the living area. Her beauty was undeniable. She was carrying and petting Popcorn in her arms, but in a way that made the cat look like a designer accessory instead of a living creature.

"Oh, there you are! You're finally here~ I've been waiting for yoooooouuu~ Come hug and kiss your mother, honey—oh my! Who's that gorgeous man standing next to you?"
