His Genius Wife is a Superstar

As soon as someone shouted Iris Long's name, a great crowd descended from inside the company building. Most of them forgot to wear their coats before running outside in excitement. They immediately shivered like pitiful wet dogs, suffering the cold wind which continued to bully them. Despite this, they still refused to return to the warmth inside and instead insisted on being the first ones to lay their eyes on the future Mrs. Jin Liwei for her first visit at Jin Corporation.

The company chat instantly became active with the news of Iris Long's arrival. Snapshots of her congested the chat channels with excited captions and commentaries from normally professional employees. The Black Stars among them revealed their true colours to their colleagues as they descended into squealing fangirls and fanboys (and fangays, too!).

Those who were in the upper floors made they way down to the main floor in a hurry, rendering the elevators useless which reached full capacity in an instant, stopping at every floor. The impatient ones decided to run down the stairs instead of waiting for the elevators despite the hellish number of floors they needed to descend before reaching the main floor.

Not even a minute had passed but the news about Iris Long's arrival somehow leaked outside Jin Corporation. There were people on the streets trying to breach the company gates, even resorting to begging the security guards in tears, just to see her. It was unfortunate to them that they weren't allowed to step inside the company property even if they started crying tears of blood because Jin Coporation was the number one company in the country, and therefore, its security was stricter than average companies.

Back at the main entrance, Iris was taken aback by the overwhelming welcome. She was certain that these people didn't know in advance that she would be coming today. In fact, she also didn't know that she would be visiting Jin Corporation today until receiving an "all clear" health pronouncement from her doctor earlier that morning. Hearing the people calling her "Boss Iris", she knew that most of them were her beloved fans, the Black Stars, who always supported her through thick and thin no matter how many times the various detractors tried discrediting her for one reason or another.

"I love you so much, Boss Iris!"

"Welcome to Jin Corporation, Boss Iris!!"

"Please marry the President ASAP and give birth to lots of beautiful babies!!!"

"Pft!" Dom laughed after hearing what they were shouting. "Ehehehe. Boss, everyone wants you and sir boss to make babies soon."

In a good mood, Iris chuckled before covering her mouth to respond to Dom so that the people couldn't read her lips and know what she was saying. "We're not in a hurry. We're still practicing the baby-making process."

"Ehehe—" COUGH! COUGH! Dom almost choked on his own startled laughter.

Iris chuckled louder, the sound making the surrounding people sigh in appreciation, including the bodyguards protecting her. No matter if she was singing, talking or laughing, her voice always sounded like heaven to the ears. How could such a woman like her exist in the world?

Many were saying that she was lucky to catch the attention of a multibillionaire businessman like Jin Liwei and receive a marriage proposal from him, but to the Black Stars, he was the one who was lucky. She was young, beautiful, multitalented, extraordinary and had many years ahead of her to grow into someone even more exceptional than she already was. In their minds, it was Jin Liwei who was getting a bargain. If he wasn't rich, powerful, tall, handsome (and scary), they would've probably started hating him for snatching their Boss Iris and locking her in marriage when she was still so young. Indeed, Jin Liwei wasn't the President-CEO of the number one company in the country for nothing. He already pounced and sank his teeth on the juiciest prize, refusing to let go even once, before the competition could even make a move and realize what they were missing.

The crowd followed as the bodyguards led Iris and Dom inside the warm lobby. Once inside the building, the people seemed to remember that they were proud employees of the country's number one company. They were able to regain control of themselves from acting like embarrassing teenage fans…barely.

"Miss Long, welcome to Jin Corporation," Xu Tian, who was waiting by the lobby, greeted her. The crowd maintained a respectful distance around him, knowing that he was their president's right-hand man. "The President is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me."

Iris and Dom greeted Xu Tian and followed him to the private elevator reserved for the company's executives. The normal elevators wouldn't work for their group at this time anyway because people were still scrambling to use them from every floor in order to get a glimpse of Iris.

"Mommy, Daddy is asking where you are right now. He already asked Ketchup this question for a total of…29 times. Ketchup told Daddy that Mommy is already in the elevator and will arrive in his office shortly, so he should relax and stop pacing around like an impatient and grumpy lion waiting for his lioness wife to return to their den from her hunting escapade. Meow~" Ketchup's adorable voice spoke inside the elevator all of a sudden.

"Pft!" Dom laughed hard at Ketchup's descriptive words.

Iris was also amused. "Where did you learn that analogy?"

"From Uncle Dom, of course! Ehehehe. Meow~"

Iris gave her assistant a side-eye. Dom tried containing his laughter and wondered if he was in trouble.

As for the others, Xu Tian and the bodyguards didn't bat an eye, acting as if hearing a child's voice speaking from out of nowhere without any warning was the most natural thing in the world. They were already used to the mysterious AI who their employers treated like their own child. Although they had no idea about Ketchup's true origins, it wasn't their business to delve too deeply into their employers' secrets.

Ding!

The elevator door opened at the top floor.
