Before, Dom was a big fan of Jin Chonglin. But maybe because Dom had seen so many of Jin Chonglin's lame moments while in the family that he didn't care anymore about Jin Chonglin's superstar status.
In addition, Dom's best friend and boss was Iris Long. Just being with her almost every day was enough for Dom to learn all the bad things, like not caring about embarrassing a superstar like Jin Chonglin.
"Hmph!" Jin Chonglin didn't dare to scold either Iris or Dom.
If he scolded Iris, then Jin Liwei would chew him out.
If he scolded Dom, then Iris would chew him out. And because Iris became involved, then Jin Liwei would still end up chewing him out, too.
No matter how Jin Chonglin thought about it, he would be in a lose-lose situation.
These people were bullying him!
He stood up and ran away to find his fiancée for comfort. He had already forgotten that his manager was still on a phone call with him. Poor Lin Dong had been saying "Hello, hello" but nobody was answering him.
Jin Liwei waited until his wife and her best friend-slash-assistant calmed down and stopped laughing at his brother.
"Happy?" he asked.
"I'm happy for Chen Fei and Brother Chonglin," Iris said.
"Me, too!" Dom chimed in. "I watched the video of Prince Lin Lin's proposal so many times. I can't stop laughing. He's usually so cool and choreographed on stage, but he looked like a baby giraffe just learning to walk during the proposal. How could he lose the ring? Hahahaha!"
Iris chuckled. "It's funny, yes, but it's also sweet."
Dom nodded. "Yes, it's super-duper to the highest level sweet. My younger sis can't stop gushing to me about the surprise proposal, although she's a bit miffed that Prince Lin Lin proposed at Liberté's launch party."
Iris waved a dismissive hand. "It's fine. Liberté's official grand opening to the public is tomorrow. We can use Brother Chonglin's proposal to hype Liberté to the media. He and Chen Fei already gave us permission to do so as their apology for disrupting the launch party."
"Don't worry, boss! Clover will handle it. If she doesn't, I'll pull all my sister's hair out and make it into a wig!"
Iris and Dom chatted for a while before dispersed for the night. Dom returned to his bedroom, while the couple went to the courtyard to have some private time alone.
They had already checked their twins earlier and put them to sleep after dinner.
The moon hid behind dark clouds. Even the stars were far and few in between tonight. Even so, Iris felt like the night sky was bright.
Jin Liwei embraced her. "Congratulations on Liberté's launch, love."
She hugged his waist. "Thank you, darling."
They whispered sweet-nothings to each other before a household staff member interrupted them. Someone dropped off a package for Iris.
"Madame, the security already cleared it and deemed it safe," the staff member told her.
Jin Liwei took it. The staff member excused himself, leaving the couple alone again.
"Who's it from?" Iris asked.
"Director Jabar Wilkins," he said.
"Okay." She nodded. "LXC Studio's prestige will increase if we invest in a Hollywood project. But even if your brother is stupid enough to decline this opportunity, we can still front the project as executive producers ourselves."
"En. Let's go to bed now, love."
The couple held hands and returned inside the house together.

The next day, Jin Liwei woke up his sleeping wife.
Iris slowly opened her eyes and saw her twin sons smiling at her on the bed.
"Mama!" Little Mochi crawled and threw himself at her.
"Mama." Little Matcha followed his brother, but instead of throwing himself like Little Mochi, he laid his head gently on their mother's thigh instead.
"Good morning, my sweethearts," Iris greeted her sons with a slightly hoarse voice.
Then she kissed their faces, making them giggle.
Jin Liwei watched his wife and sons showering each other with love. Then he also joined them by sitting on the bed next to his wife and kissing her on the lips.
After eating breakfast together and getting ready, Grandpa Lu arrived with Yin Meixing and Tang Yiyi.
The old man had volunteered to stay with the twins today, so that Iris, Jin Liwei and the others could attend the public grand opening of Liberté without any worries.
