His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1426  Both Adults

Iris raised an eyebrow. She was also surprised at this sudden turn of events.

"Y-you…w-where's Chen Fei?!" Long Jinjing stammered, still unable to get over the shock.

"Ketchup, loudspeaker, please," Iris murmured.

"Aye aye, Mommy! Meow~"

In the next second, Long Jinjing's phone call was set on loudspeaker.

"She's here with me." Jin Chonglin's voice sounded sleepy. Then he said, "Hey, wake up!"

"Hmmm…no…." Chen Fei's voice also sounded sleepy.

"You have a phone call."

"Hm? F*ck off, Jin Chonglin. Let me sleep…you beast…zzzzzzzzz…."

"You need to wake up."

"I said later…zzzzzzzz…." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

His tone became gentler. "Come on, babe. Wake up now and answer your phone. It sounds important."

"Who are you calling 'babe', you annoying man! Whose fault is it that I'm so f*cking tired and sleepy right now?! My whole body f*cking hurts and yet you're still disturbing me so early in the morning! Argh! I'm gonna strangle you, I swear!"

"Alright, whatever. Here's the phone."

Chen Fei muttered another string of curses before finally speaking on the phone. "Yeah, hello? Who the hell's calling me so god*mn early in the morning?!"

Long Jinjing was still in total shock at the conversation she just heard between Chen Fei and Jin Chonglin. The implication of what happened between the two was all too clear!

"Hello? Hello! Why aren't you speaking?! If you're not gonna talk, I'm hanging up!"

The grumpy voice was indeed Chen Fei's, but Long Jinjing still couldn't speak. She couldn't believe what was happening.

Iris got up and took the phone from the frozen Long Jinjing.

"Chen Fei, it's me," she said calmly.

"…"

"It's Long Xiulan. Big Sister Jinjing is with me."

"…"

"Want me to give you a day off today?" Iris asked, not at all bothered by the silence at the other end of the phone call.

"…"

"Alright then. I'll grant you a day off today. Brother Chonglin, are you still there?"

Some rustling sounds.

"Sister Xiulan," Jin Chonglin's voice spoke next, sounding more sober now.

"I'll have your elder brother send more bodyguards to your place in a moment. Don't let the paparazzi snap photos of Chen Fei leaving your house so early in the morning. You need to protect her reputation from the media or I'll tell your brother to clean you up. She's not a celebrity. I don't want her being hounded by the media or being harassed by some of your crazy fans."

"I know," Jin Chonglin replied. "I'll protect Chen Fei. You have my word."

"F*ck! I don't need any man's protection, especially yours!" Chen Fei protested.

"Be good," he soothed her.

"Dammit! Get away from me. My waist still f*cking hurts so much!"

Iris chuckled. "We won't bother you two anymore, then. Just be mindful of the paparazzi. I'll have Liwei send the extra security there. They will arrive at your house soon."

"Thanks, Sister Xiulan," he replied.

When the phone call ended, Long Jinjing still hadn't completely recovered from the great shock. Iris, on the other hand, looked amused.

"Are they…." Did they really….?" Long Jinjing still couldn't wrap her head around what they just heard on the phone.

"What's so weird about it?" Iris shrugged.

"But Xiao Fei hates Jin Chonglin!"

Iris shot her a meaningful look. "I also hated Liwei at first. But look at us now. And what about you? You always said before that my big brother isn't your ideal man and that you'd never marry someone like him. And yet look at the two of you, married with kids just like me and my husband."

Long Jinjing pursed her lips, unable to retort, because everything Iris said was the truth.

"Just let Chen Fei and my brother-in-law figure out their relationship or if they really want to pursue a real relationship," Iris continued saying. "They're both adults who can make their own decisions. Besides, you've known Chen Fei longer than any of us do. You know that she's not someone to be trifled with. She won't allow anyone to take advantage of her without her consent. If Brother Chonglin dares to play with her, then she won't be polite. She'll destroy him."

"You're right." Long Jinjing sighed. "I'm just worried. Jin Chonglin is…uh…he's…uhm…well, you know…."

"Just say it," Iris replied. "He's a playboy. We all know that."

"Y-yeah…"

"Well, not all men are like my Liwei who stayed chaste before he pursued me—his one and only true love." Iris looked smug.

Long Jinjing wanted to roll her eyes but refrained from doing so because she was too nice and polite.

Iris continued, "And my big brother, although he had other women before, he's still a very loyal man. He's committed to you and my nephews."

"You think so?" Long Jinjing's cheeks turned crimson. The corners of her mouth were already curving up.

"Of course." Iris chuckled while sitting down behind her desk. Then she changed the subject. "I gave Chen Fei the day off, so let's not bother her anymore. The two of us still have plenty of work to finish."

"Alright." Long Jinjing also joined her.

Soon, the sisters were busy with their own respective work. As the bosses of Orchidia, they were able to complete most of their work remotely at home which was very convenient especially since both of them were new, young mothers.

Orchidia was on a phenomenal track. Maternity leave or not, they wanted to ensure that nothing would derail the company.

Chen Fei and Jin Chonglin's matter was pushed out of their minds as they entered work mode without a hitch.

Meanwhile, Jin Liwei obeyed his wife's directive to send extra security to his younger brother's house. He didn't have much of a reaction when he learned about what happened between Chen Fei and his brother. Like his wife, he believed that the two were already adults who could make their own decisions. He had no intention of interfering in his brother's relationships unless compelled to do so.

Besides, he already had his own family. He had no time to worry about other people. Right now, he was busy finishing work at Jin Corporation, so that he could go home early later and eat dinner with his beloved wife and children.
