334 Big Favour (1/2)

Shocked silence.

One second. Two seconds. Three sec—

The audience and home viewers started squealing. The LinRis shippers went out of control. They jumped up from their seats and almost vomited their own throats out from screaming so hard.

”LinRis! LinRis! LinRis!”

Their crazed chanting was infectious to the point that the entire arena started chanting along with them. Since this was a live telecast, the cameras focused on both Jin Chonglin and Iris' expressions.

The smile on Jin Chonglin's face was mischievous and flirty. As for Iris, the cameras recorded her confused expression before she was able to smooth it out with a polite smile.

Seeing that the cameras were still focusing on her, she smiled a bit more deeply. She ignored the teasing from the people around her.

”Thank you,” she mouthed at Jin Chonglin.

She decided not to think too much about his unexpected action. Perhaps it was part of his performance. Besides, the man was her future brother-in-law. He was family. What was wrong about giving flowers to family members?

Jin Chonglin gave her a thumbs up and another wink. Then he and his back-up dancers bowed and waved at the audience.

The show went into a commercial break right after. Jin Chonglin and his back-up dancers began leaving. Nobody noticed that he avoided looking at a certain direction and hurried to the backstage instead, as if running away from something (or someone) dangerous.

Back in the audience, the people around Iris continued to tease her. She just smiled politely at them, not taking their words seriously.

”Iris, tell us the truth. Is Jin Chonglin your fiancé?” a female idol asked behind her.

Ears pricked to their direction, eager to eavesdrop on the conversation.

”No, he's not,” Iris answered. ”I already mentioned before that my fiancé is not from showbiz. He's a businessman.”

They gave her a knowing look. The skepticism was clear in their eyes. It was obvious that they didn't believe her.

”You seem very close to Jin Chonglin,” another commented.

”He's my senior and we work under the same management company. We're colleagues, that's all.”

They were about to pry more about her and Jin Chonglin, but JJ glared at them. They had no choice but to stop, retreat, and laugh awkwardly. There were only a few people who dared to butt heads against the infamous hothead JJ. Unfortunately, they weren't included in that short list of brave people.

”Hmph! Just a simple bouquet toss and they're already acting like they saw a live sex show. Bunch of gossipmongers!” JJ complained.

The ”gossipmongers” pretended not to hear him. They looked at each other instead in an awkward manner.
