His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 682 - Am I Uncool?

Chapter 682 - Am I Uncool?

Xu Tian continued reporting about the tasks Jin Liwei assigned to him assisting Iris' mission as Long Industries' brand ambassador. Usually, Jin Liwei wouldn't help Iris get ahead on her showbiz work without her permission even if he wanted to because she preferred to use her own efforts in her career, but this was a different matter. The brand ambassadorship was an important step in her plan of winning in the Long clan's battle of succession. The couple already agreed to work together in this matter because these were all for their godson, Little Jun.
Jin Liwei leaned back on his chair and sipped hot tea while listening to his assistant's reports. Afterwards, Xu Tian cleaned up the table while Jin Liwei called his baby girl who just finished guesting and performing "Passionate Flames"on a TV show with his brother, Jin Chonglin.
"Hi, love. Did you receive the lunch I sent you?" he asked.
His baby girl had recently become busier than him that she barely had any time to eat at home, so he also began sending meals to wherever she was working. Sometimes, their chef at home would cook for her but more often than not, Jin Liwei would instruct Xu Tian to contact a restaurant near where she was at and deliver food directly to her.
"Yes. Thank you, darling. I shared the food with Brother Chonglin and his team. We'recurrently eating inside my dressing room," Iris replied.
Jin Liwei frowned. He could hear the chatter on her side. "My brother is inside your dressing room? Chase him out. Tell him to eat inside his own dressing room."
"Hey, hey! I heard that, Big Bro! Am I still your brother?!" Jin Chonglin's voice complained.
Jin Liwei's frown deepened. "Speakerphone?"
"No. Brother Chonglin is sitting beside me, so he could hear your voice," replied Iris.
"He's sitting beside you? Tell him to move. Call Dominic to sit beside you instead."Iris sighed. "Don't be like that, darling. He's your brother and my future brother-in-law. We're family, not to mention that he and I are working a lot together this season."
"Yeah, I'm your brother. We're family! Listen to your wife and stop always drowning in vinegar, Big Bro. It's uncool!" Jin Chonglin's voice sounded louder, so he must be leaning close to Iris.
Jin Liwei's expression turned ugly, prompting Xu Tian to become extra cautious in his movements. Then he asked his baby girl in a low tone, "Am I uncool?"
"Don't listen to Brother Chonglin. It's true that your jealousy sometimes annoys me to the point that I want to punch your handsome face, but that doesn't make you uncool. You always do things for my sake, so to me, you're the coolest, darling~"
The first part of her answer about wanting to punch his face made him sullen but his expression instantly brightened at the last part.
'She says I'm the coolest,' he chuckled to himself, as a wide smile stretched his mouth, showing his perfectly white teeth.
A few steps away, Xu Tian was almost blinded by his boss' smile. Millions of fans worshiped Jin Chonglin's famous killer smile that could literally cause death due to heart attack but Xu Tian thought that his boss' smile was even deadlier, especially because it was rarer, thus making it more potent than the younger brother's smile. Xu Tian patted his poor heart and thanked his lucky stars for being born as a straight male. If not, he probably would have already dropped dead because of his boss' lethal smile.
Back to Jin Liwei, he left the table and began walking in front of the ceiling-high glass windows behind his desk overlooking the modern city outside while continuing to chat with his baby girl. When she told him that he was the coolest in her heart, he felt appeased and stopped being jealous of his own brother.
"What time will you be at home?" he asked."Very late. Past midnight," she replied. "I'll be attending a party hosted by Bright Summit with Brother Chonglin tonight, remember?"
"I'll pick you up later."
"No need. You better sleep ahead of me because you have to wake up early tomorrow as usual."
"I'll pick you up," he repeated in a firmer tone.
"Fine." She was about to change the topic when a certain feline chatterbox interrupted them.
"Excuse me, Mommy and Daddy. Ketchup has something important to report! Meow~"
"Go ahead, Ketchup," Jin Liwei said.
The noise level on Iris' side decreased. It seemed that she moved to a quieter place.
"The negative content about that good-for-nothing Long Hui in the media are gradually disappearing since this morning. At this rate, most will be gone in 6.8 days. Meow~"
Jin Liwei frowned. He imagined that his baby girl must be frowning as well. "Explain. Who did it? Long Hui?""No, Daddy. That good-for-nothing scum already tried removing the negative content about him online several times before but I, the cute and mighty Ketchup, stopped him! Ehehehe. Meow~ Ketchup is a good kitty. Right, Mommy?"
"Yes, you're a good kitty," Iris voice agreed.
The couple heard the white cat's smug purr on the phone.
"I, the mighty and cute Ketchup, planned to once again stop the attempt of removing the negative content about that good-for-nothing scum online but it turns out that it's not him who ordered it. That's why Ketchup hesitated and made a report to Mommy and Daddy first. Ketchup needs further instructions before taking action. Meow~"
"It doesn't matter who ordered it. Just stop them," Iris said. "Long Hui needs to have a taste of his own medicine. He's the one who tried ruining the name and reputation of Ying Yue and Eldest Brother in the media first. This is retribution for what he did."
"Ketchup understands. But Mommy, the person who ordered to remove the negative content about that good-for-nothing scum online is listed in our family list. Ketchup is programmed not to interfere with the affairs of anyone whose name is included in our family list without Mommy or Daddy's permission."
"Family?"
Both Iris and Jin Liwei frowned and wondered who it was.
