445 Perfect For Each Other (1/2)
”What a load of rubbish!” Iris' cold voice interrupted the female idols' conversation.
The girls all turned their heads in annoyance at being disturbed. However, when they saw that it was Iris Long and Jin Chonglin's group, they looked surprised and amazed at the same time. They all straightened their backs and presented their best behaviours.
”S-senior Jin Ch-chonglin!”
”Senior Iris Long!”
As a domestic superstar, Jin Chonglin was respected and admired by many young artists in the music industry. It wasn't surprising that these young female idols would feel starstruck by his presence.
Although Iris Long didn't have Jin Chonglin's same level of fame (yet), there were still quite a lot of musicians who looked up to her, especially those who focused on music techniques. After all, she was the recipient of a special award for her brilliance in this area.
The female idols felt like total fangirls in front of Jin Chonglin, while they felt intimidated by Iris Long. Her aura up close was on another level, especially right now that she was looking at them with such a cold expression.
Jin Chonglin glanced at Iris who now looked like she wanted to murder someone in cold blood. She might not be showing much emotion on her face, but the potent aura emanating from her was enough to chill weak-hearted people to the core. And indeed, some of the timider girls in front of them were already looking like they were about to cry. If others saw their current situation, they would think that Iris was bullying these poor girls.
Right now, Iris reminded Jin Chonglin of his older brother whenever he teased him. Jin Liwei would also turn cold like this and unnerve people with just his sheer aura alone.
'They're really a couple. Both so damn tyrannical in their possessiveness of each other,' he thought to himself.
Iris started to stride towards the female idols like a predator about to swoop in on her prey, but her manager Tang Yiyi pulled her back and stopped her. Lin Dong looked around with a paranoid expression, afraid that other people might see them and misconstrue the situation as Iris pushing her weight around on the newbies.
The female idols didn't know what they did to anger Iris Long. They cowered from her scary aura.
”Calm down, Iris,” Tang Yiyi whispered to her in an urgent tone.
Iris briefly closed her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself. When she opened her eyes, her expression somewhat became gentler.
”Hello, my apologies for disturbing you,” she told the female idols in a pleasant tone. Her eyes, however, remained cold. ”I think I heard you talking about CEO Jin's supposed fiancée? Since CEO Jin is our Senior Jin Chonglin's brother, your conversation made me very curious. May I know more about what you're talking about?”
The girls looked at each other. They were relieved when Iris Long talked to them. She was actually nice and polite. Maybe they were just imagining that she was angry at them earlier. Or maybe her expression earlier was just her resting bitch face and had nothing to do with her actual mood.
”S-senior Iris! Uhm… We normally don't talk about CEO Jin but he's recently trending online after he commented on Prince Lin Lin—I mean, Senior Jin Chonglin's blog post a few days ago. After all, CEO Jin never used his account before. People have become very interested in him lately so…uhm, there are a lot of gossips about him online right now,” one of them explained to Iris.
”Yeah! We were just gossiping—uh, I mean chatting about what we read online. Someone posted a few photos of CEO Jin with his fiancée at an online gossip forum just a few minutes ago. Here, Senior Iris and…uhm, Prince—Senior Jin Chonglin. Let me show you the post.”
The girl held up her phone to let Iris and Jin Chonglin see. She blushed when Jin Chonglin smiled at her.
