Chapter 1452 Feeling Guilty
Chapter 1452 Feeling Guilty
"By the way, how's my nephew?" Jin Chonglin asked. "Any updates on Little Mochi?"
Iris showed him a short video of Little Mochi clapping his hands and laughing while the dogs chased each other around him. Jin Liwei sent it just now. They could also see Little Matcha doing his own thing at the corner.
Jin Chonglin snickered upon seeing that his naughty nephew was completely fine. Earlier that morning, he also became worried after hearing that Little Mochi vomited. Then he learned the reason the baby vomited was because he was showing off to everyone by overeating.
What a mischievous child!
Little Mochi was growing to become more and more like his Uncle Lin Lin. Jin Chonglin felt proud. Not only did the baby resemble him at a certain angle especially whenever Little Mochi smiled, but the baby's desire to show off was also just like him.
His desire to have his own baby grew a little again. Just a tiny bit.
Iris had no idea that Jin Chonglin was using her baby to fantasize about having his own baby.
And if she heard his thoughts about Little Mochi inheriting his show-off personality from him, then she would beg to differ. She thought that Little Mochi's desire to show off was actually inherited from the original Long Xiulan.
This was why she couldn't help but worry about Little Mochi more when he grew up. She and her husband needed to guide the child properly, so that he wouldn't end up growing crooked like the original Long Xiulan.
In fact, Iris pitied the original Long Xiulan. If only the original Long Xiulan had someone who guided her properly while growing up, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up the way she did. The original Long Xiulan wasn't inherently wicked. She just had a personality that wanted others to notice her, admire her, and love her.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of proper guidance, she lost her way and ended up forcing whatever she wanted by hook or by crook.
Iris sighed at the tragedy of the original Long Xiulan's life. Of course, she was grateful that she, the former Evelina Vetrova, was given a chance to live another life because of the original Long Xiulan.
Both of them lived tragic lives, but now, she was determined to live a life full of happiness and fulfillment chasing her dreams with the support of the love of her life and their family.
'Long Xiulan, you want the world to love you, I'll achieve it for you. Don't worry.'
Something warm pooled in her heart and spread throughout her entire body, becoming hotter.
She had already integrated with the original's body a long time ago. There was no longer a clash with any remnant of the original Long Xiulan's soul. She could feel that she had already become one with the original Long Xiulan.
Perhaps it was her body's subconscious reaction to thank her for her promise. Whatever it was, Iris welcomed it.
She had her own dreams and goals that she wanted to achieve.
The original Long Xiulan also had hers.
She would achieve everything they both wanted and more.
Iris put her phone inside her purse. Beside her, Jin Chonglin went back to chatting with Ren Jiyu and the other members of the national shooting team. Iris also joined them, exciting the athletes.
As per Ren Jiyu's request, he became a talent under Tang Yiyi. He was a big fan of Iris Long, a proud Black Star, so he wanted to have the same manager as her.
His other teammates were less popular than him, so they were assigned to other managers. They didn't mind. They understood that their team became popular mainly because of Ren Jiyu, their youngest member.
Lin Dong didn't sign to manage anyone from the national shooting team. He already had his hands full continuing to work as Jin Chonglin's long-time exclusive manager, in addition to being LXC Studio's Chief of Talent Management. He was so busy that he could barely walk straight. But he enjoyed every minute of it.
Not everyone from the national shooting team was interested in entering showbiz, but they still all came out to support Ren Jiyu and the others for the contract signing.
The dinner was lively and filled with laughter.
Iris tilted her head while looking at her brother-in-law.
He noticed it and suddenly became nervous. "W-what?!"
"Feeling guilty?" she asked him.
"Who are you calling guilty?!" Jin Chonglin demanded.
Iris raised an eyebrow and ignored his defensive tone. "I heard that you and Chen Fei are basically living together now."
He didn't reply.
She lowered her voice. "I'm not interfering in your relationship. I don't care about what kind of relationship the two of you have, whether it's pretend or real or something more complicated. We all heard about you declaring in front of everyone at the farm villa that you want a baby with Chen Fei, but I want to remind you that you're a big celebrity with hordes of fans around the world. Chen Fei is my friend and my company's important COO. Protect her or else…."
Her finger made a slitting gesture across her neck.
Jin Chonglin glared at her but immediately caught himself. He looked around the table and was relieved that nobody seemed to be listening to their conversation. He smiled and pretended that they were just chatting about normal stuff for other people to see. Inside, however, he was complaining.
What was up with this group of women always threatening him?
His girlfriend was always threatening to castrate him while his sister-in-law was now threatening to murder him if he ever failed to protect his girlfriend. And if he ever tattled on his sister-in-law with his older brother, Jin Liwei would surely side with Iris.
How pitiful was he, Jin Chonglin!
"Ahem!" Jin Chonglin moistened his throat with a sip of champagne. "I know. You don't have to keep telling me this. I won't let anyone harm my girlfriend under my nose."
Iris studied his expression, making him uncomfortable, but he endured it.
