547 Countdown (2/2)

”Ah! You wound this prince! So many ladies want to jump into my arms and yet here you are refusing this prince's irresistible offer. You're the only one who dare do that!”

”I don't mind friendly hugs but your brother will get angry if it's you. If you're feeling extra masochistic tonight, sure. Come, let's do a friendly hug. You're the one who's going to suffer your brother's wrath, anyway. Not me,” she told him while shrugging her shoulders.

Jin Chonglin scowled, muttering, ”Sadistic couple.”

Now it was his turn to move away from her, as if he just got electrocuted. He stepped away so abruptly that he crashed against Chen Fei behind him.

”What the hell, dude?! Watch where you're going!” Chen Fei rebuked him while maintaining a smile on her face for the audience and cameras. ”You stepped on my fucking toes. If I'm injured, I'm going to kick your ass and then make you pay for my treatment plus compensation for emotional distress. Hmph!”

”Xiao Fei, calm down please. Don't make a scene in front of everyone,” Long Jinjing reminded her best friend.

”Shit, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to step on your foot. Really!” Jin Chonglin said while mentally rolling his eyes at the woman's threat of suing him for 'emotional distress'.

If there was another woman that he couldn't charm besides Iris, it would be this one. Chen Fei had been scolding him every time he met with the Bauer siblings while working on his own line of men's products for Orchidia Beauty. The annoying bossy woman kept on complaining about what an indecisive diva he was to keep on changing his mind and delaying the production of his men's line.

'What's wrong with changing my mind? This prince only wants every single detail to be perfect! I'm not going to release subpar products under my own magnificent name! Infuriating woman!' he inwardly grumbled but kept an apologetic smile on his face.

No matter how infuriating she was, the woman was still the COO of the company. He needed to show her respect, even if he didn't really want to. Under the contract he signed with Orchidia Beauty, Chen Fei was one of his bosses alongside Iris Long and Long Jinjing. They were the three top executives of the company with Iris holding the topmost position above all of them.

The Bauer siblings, who had no idea that there was an argument between them, rushed and gave all of them tight and fierce hugs. Tears gushed down Alona Bauer's eyes, as she hugged everyone while sobbing. Even the eyes of her usually quiet brother, Alric Bauer, looked misty.

”Congratulations, Orchidia Beauty!!!” Dom and Clover shouted.

The audience followed suit, shouting their congratulations at Iris and the others on the stage.

”Congratulations! That's my girl! Bahahaha! This old man is so proud of my favourite granddaughter! Right, Haohao my boy?!”

”Yes, Grandpa. My little sister always makes us proud.”

”En. My wife is the best.”

”Heh~ Third Brother, my sister isn't your wife yet. Don't get too ahead of yourself.”

”Fifth Brother, Xiulan is going to be my wife. I'll make sure of it.”

”Heh… The future isn't something any of us can predict, Third Brother.”

”Fifth Brother, even if I have to go against the heavens, I'll do everything in my power to marry Xiulan.”

”Why are you rascals suddenly fighting?! I want to know! Don't ruin this moment for Xiulan or I'll bang your two hard heads together!!!”

”Calm down, old gorilla. Can't you see that they're just teasing each other? You and my husband used to do that a lot back in the days. And now you're acting all high and mighty in scolding our grandsons? Preposterous!”

”Bah! This old man is now an elder so I obtained the right to discipline the young ones and throw my weight around! That's our privilege, old hag! You should use it, too! Bahahaha!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Despite all the noise, Iris still caught some parts of their conversation with her great hearing. She didn't hear her darling or her big brother's voices because they were speaking in low tones, but there was no mistaking Grandpa Lu's booming voice and Grandma Li's pretend tone of derision.

'Thank you for giving them to me,' she said to whoever or whatever power that gave this second life of hers.
