Chapter 549 - Never Win Against My Wife
Then a familiar electric-like sensation buzzed through her spine. The faint anger inside her was immediately replaced with excitement. She quickly turned her head and saw her darling rushing towards her from the side of the stage. Moments later, she was enveloped in his warm and tight embrace.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Jin Liwei hugged Iris Long in front of everyone!!! On the stage!!! Under the spotlights!!! While millions of viewers watched on the several livestreams covering the event!!!
How daring!!! Too daring!!!
At the moment, however, the couple wasn’t thinking about any of these. Everything disappeared around them. Only the two of them existed in their own little world. All they wanted to do was share this amazing moment of success together.
"Congratulations, love. I’m so proud of you. I knew that you could do it," he whispered directly to her ear.
Iris’ arms wrapped around his waist. "Thank you. I’m so happy. I expected the launch to do well, but I didn’t expect for it to do this well."
"You deserve all this and more."
Their gazes were tender, becoming more intense the longer they stared into each other’s eyes. They slowly inched their faces closer...closer...until—
"This program is rated E for everyone! Please refrain from doing anything that needs censoring!"
Jin Chonglin’s voice interrupted them at the same time that a hand appeared between their faces.
"Geez! Can’t you control yourselves even for just a few hours? The whole nation is watching you, you know," he muttered. "Leave the lovey-dovey when you get home later where no one can see you!"
Iris regained her senses thanks to Jin Chonglin. She blushed a little. She gently pulled away from her darling. On the other hand, Jin Liwei looked annoyed at having been interrupted by his brother. He glared at him with his deadly cold eyes.
The audience laughed while watching the scene. The couple had been stuffing everyone with dogfood since they arrived earlier that evening. Many of them were still finding it hard to accept this romantic Jin Liwei who was very different from his ice block image to the public.
There were many rumours floating around in the past years that he was an unfeeling man who could never be seduced by any women, in addition to a separate rumour saying that he was gay. But now he was showing a very different side of him to everyone—that he couldn’t take his hands off of Iris Long!
’She’s so lucky,’ the women and the bent men thought to themselves, envious of Iris for making Jin Liwei fall in love with her.
On the other hand, the men and the bent women felt envious of Jin Liwei.
’He’s so lucky. Iris Long is so young, beautiful and talented. How can we compete against Jin Liwei, a powerful man?’
Back on the stage, Iris quickly recovered from her flustered state. Her friends snickered at her, but she ignored them. She needed to take control of the situation.
Jin Liwei also controlled himself. After giving his baby girl a loving squeeze, he released her and withdrew. He pulled his annoying brother with him, both of them stepping back to allow Iris and Orchidia Beauty’s other executives to enjoy the well-deserved spotlights for themselves.
"Big Bro! I’m an endorser! I should also be at the front!" Jin Chonglin complained.
But one look from his older brother and he shut up.
Iris cleared her throat before speaking to the mic.
"I am amazed...shocked. I can’t fully describe everything that I’m feeling right now. We sold everything out in five seconds!!!"
Applause and cheers.
"Thank you very much!"
With her great hearing, she could hear their congratulations. However, she also heard quite a lot of grumbling complaints from the unfortunate ones who failed to buy any of the products before everything was sold out.
"I know that not everyone was able to buy the products. We apologize for that. But don’t worry! We’re sold out today but this is only temporary. We’ll work hard in refilling our inventories and increasing our manufacturing capacity as soon as possible. We’ll open our online store again soon!"
The guests were somewhat appeased by her words.
Then she added, "We at Orchidia Beauty are very grateful to all of you for accepting our invitations and attending our launch party tonight. As a token of our appreciation, all guests will receive gift packages containing complete sets of the products of your choice!"
"Uwah! Really?!!"
"That’s great! Thank you!"
All of the guests were happy, especially those who failed to buy the products earlier. Even the ones who successfully bought products still rejoiced. The more products they could get, the happier they felt.
The servers who were serving drinks and snacks earlier wheeled out big, long tables filled with beautifully packaged gift baskets containing complete sets of the products per skin type. They began handing out the gift baskets to the guests.
Each guest was entitled to up to five gift packages, one per skin type. Almost half of them took all five. Some four, three, two. Only a handful of them was satisfied with just one for their own skin type, like Feng Wan and her cousin Feng Jiu.
Iris gave a curtsy bow to all the guests to show her gratitude. Long Jinjing, Chen Fei, including the Bauer and Chua siblings followed suit and deeply bowed to the people.
The brothers Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin nodded their heads instead of bowing. The older brother’s expression was cold while the younger brother flashed his killer smile. However, nobody swooned this time. He was effectively ignored because everyone was focused on admiring the products.
Jin Chonglin pursed his lips. "When I release my men’s line, it’ll sell out in 4 seconds or less," he muttered under his breath.
His brother gave him a side-eye. "Everyone can dream, yes. But sometimes one needs to be realistic."
"What do you mean by that, Big Bro? Don’t you know that your brother is a superstar?"
"En. I know. But you can never win against my wife. Besides, she’ll be a bigger superstar than you in the future. It may come sooner than you think."
Jin Liwei’s tone was solemn, as if his words were a divine pronouncement, an inevitability decided by fate from time immemorial.
