810 Jin Chonglin’s Two Requests Part I (1/2)
”Big Bro,” Jin Chonglin greeted after recovering from a moment of disappointment. ”How's Sister Xiulan? Did she return home alright?”
”Yes, your sister-in-law arrived home just now,” Jin Liwei replied. ”She's fine. Thanks for taking care of my wife. We owe you.”
”No problem,” Jin Chonglin murmured. ”She's family after all.”
”En.”
Silence.
”Xiulan wants to talk to you,” Jin Liwei said.
Jin Chonglin's heart skipped a beat and he pressed his phone closer to his ear. Anticipation filled him as he waited for Iris to speak. Then he mentally berated himself after catching his silly reaction.
'Relax, you fool. You're acting so uncool right now.'
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself.
”Hello, Brother Chonglin,” Iris' lovely voice travelled from the phone to his ear.
It sucked big time but his heart skipped a beat again upon hearing her say his name. Dammit. Why did her voice sound so beautiful? Fortunately, he was Jin Chonglin. Music might be his specialty but his acting skills were also quite good. He was able to project a cool demeanour and not expose his true hopeless feelings—he hoped so, at least.
After another series of ”how are you” and ”thank you”, Jin Chonglin updated Iris about what happened at the after-party. Then she finally revealed why she wanted to talk to him.
”Brother Chonglin, I want to request if you could finalize your men's line for Orchidia Beauty soon. I know that you're very busy right now but it would mean a lot to me and my company if we could make our original plan to launch your men's line of products before the year ends.”
”Do it for your sister-in-law,” Jin Liwei's voice cut in the phone conversation. ”I'll grant any two of your requests. One for helping out tonight when Xiulan collapsed and the other one will be for finalizing your men's line with Orchidia Beauty as soon as possible.”
Jin Chonglin raised an eyebrow but he wasn't surprised at his older brother's offer at all. If asked about what he learned in the past year, it would be that his older brother was surprisingly the type to dote on his woman without reserve. His cold and dispassionate brother could actually be such an amorous man.
'Maybe it's because she's the woman, that's why Big Bro changed so much.'
”En.”
