His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei gave his baby girl a side-eye after hearing her trash-talking him. He wore his default expression which was cold and indifferent.

Seeing his expression, the Chinese reporters thought that he was pissed off at what Iris said. They looked scared and looked at Iris as if she had gone crazy. How daring! She actually said that she wanted to punch CEO Jin Liwei in the face. Inside their minds, Iris was like a cute yet stupidly courageous kitten swiping her little claws at Jin Liwei who was a large and mighty lion.

It was only Iris who saw the amusement in Jin Liwei's eyes. Only people close to him could tell the minute differences in his usual cold and indifferent expression. To others, he always looked intimidating.

Seeing that he was amused, Iris giggled, frightening the reporters.

They thought that she was going too far. CEO Jin clearly looked displeased. What was she thinking? She should stop trying to provoke the man. Did she want to die? Then they felt worried about her. They were afraid that Jin Liwei would scold her badly for her careless behaviour. Or worse, he might even hurt her. They widened their eyes, trying to silently warn her to stop. However, she ignored their kindness and continued teasing the cold-faced Jin Liwei with her mischievous eyes.

Jin Liwei turned to face her fully. The reporters threw pitiful looks at Iris. They thought that Jin Liwei was going to rebuke her for sure. But to their surprise, he held both of her hands instead and lifted them. He gently rubbed her knuckles and kissed them in front of everyone.

"Good thing you didn't punch me in the face then. I wouldn't want you to hurt your precious hands," he said in a gentle voice.

Huh? Some of the reporters tried to clean their ears, wondering if they heard his words correctly. Did they just hear the cold and indifferent CEO Jin saying mushy words? He wasn't angry that Iris wanted to punch his face back then? He was even worried about her hands? The gap between his public image and his actions right now was just too wide!

That wasn't the end of it. Jin Liwei added, "You didn't like me back then, but you love me now."

Iris nodded while giving him a sweet smile.

Then the reporters were astounded when Jin Liwei's cold face broke into a wide smile. Their jaws fell down. This was perhaps the first time that they had seen him smile ever. He always looked cold and intimidating whenever he appeared in public. They even thought that he wasn't capable of smiling. Now, however, they felt like they were witnessing a miracle.

Jin Liwei was already handsome to begin with. But now that he was smiling, his handsomeness was magnified a hundredfold. No, a thousandfold!

The Chinese reporters were all male, but all of their hearts skipped a bit seeing Jin Liwei's handsome, smiling face. They stared at him like idiots before they regained their senses a few moments later. Right! They still had a job to do! This was the day that Iris Long and Jin Liwei revealed their relationship to the public. This was big news! They had to get all the juicy details from the two of them tonight!

Iris and Jin Liwei reluctantly paused their lovey-dovey moment to answer the reporters' questions. To the reporters' surprise, it was actually Jin Liwei who answered them. His face already reverted to his usual cold expression, but perhaps because the reporters just saw him smiling, they thought that he had become friendlier.

"CEO Jin, does your family know about your relationship with Iris—I mean, Miss Iris Long?"

He nodded. "My mother, grandmother, and brother know. In fact, they love her."

"How about you, Miss Iris? Does your family know about your relationship with CEO Jin?"

"Yes, of course," she replied.

"When is the wedding? Are you already starting to plan it?"

Iris hesitated and glanced at Jin Liwei.

"If it were up to me, the wedding will be as soon as possible. If not tonight, then tomorrow," Jin Liwei answered.

The reporters' eyes lit up at his answer. They looked surprised but also excited. The more they listened to Jin Liwei's answers to their questions, the more they were realizing how invested he was in his relationship with Iris Long. At first, they thought that he was only treating her as a trophy wife. Iris was a young, beautiful woman, plus she was also a rather famous celebrity in their country.

Men of Jin Liwei's wealth and status mostly treated this kind of women as trophy wives. Talking to Jin Liwei now, however, they didn't get that impression. Sensing his genuine feelings regarding the relationship, the reporters actually felt envious of Iris, despite being men themselves. What a lucky woman!

Jin Liwei continued, "But Xiu—Iris is still young and her career is in a great trajectory right now. This is a good time for her to work harder to become even more successful in her career. I want a happy wife, so I'm willing to wait for her until she's ready to marry me. I don't want her to give up any of her dreams for me. I want her to not have any regrets when she marries me. In the meantime, I'll cheer for her and support her every step of the way. Besides, she's such a talented and brilliant person. I'm sure that I won't have to wait too long. She'll attain whatever goals she has sooner rather than later."

The reporters were touched by his words. Of course, Iris was even more touched than them. Not caring that they were being photographed and recorded on video, she wrapped her arms around Jin Liwei's waist and hugged him tightly while burying her face against his chest. His arms automatically wrapped around her, embracing her as well.

Behind the reporters, the cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken" were watching the interview. They didn't mind that the Chinese reporters were more interested in Iris and Jin Liwei than of them.

A booming laughter interrupted them. They turned and saw Sir Lu Jianhong and his grandson.

When the Chinese reporters saw Sir Lu Jianhong and Lu Zihao, a.k.a. Hunter Lu, they changed targets and started asking them questions instead. Iris and Jin Liwei were too absorbed in their own little world right now to focus on their questions.

Wei Lan wasn't with the grandfather and grandson. She was currently being interviewed by foreign reporters, mostly European, on the other side of the red carpet. There were also quite a lot of other VIP guests who were hanging around, wanting to befriend her. Bored of waiting for her, Grandpa Lu dragged Lu Zihao away to look for Iris and Jin Liwei instead. Wei Lan would be okay by herself. Jin Liwei's subordinates were looking after her.

The Chinese reporters began asking Grandpa Lu questions.

"Sir Lu, didn't you confirm before that Miss Iris Long's fiancé is your grandson, Mr. Lu Zihao? Why did you say that when it isn't true?"

Grandpa Lu scowled at the reporter and then huffed in a grumpy tone.

"When did this old man say that my Haohao—I mean Zihao is Xiu—Iris' fiancé? I want to know! I only said that it's my grandson! Even if we're not of the same flesh and blood, Liwei is also my grandson! Is it my fault that all of you twits misunderstood my words? Bah! Stop blaming me when it's your own fault that you let your minds veer into a totally wrong direction! Hmph!"
