Chapter 1278 - Go Find A Wife And Make Your Own Baby (2/2)
Although they were not official partners for the awards night, they were still arranged to appear together. In fact, both of them had been invited to perform both of their collab songs together on the stage but Iris' current condition made it inconvenient. Hence, Jin Chonglin chose to perform both songs by himself.
He would even sing Iris' female parts of the songs. He refused to find another female performer to substitute for Iris. Both of their managers, Lin Dong and Tang Yiyi, strongly recommended this option but he rejected it.
He believed that nobody could do Iris' parts in the two songs justice except for Iris herself. As an artist who had high standards, he would rather perform the songs alone than lower their original quality without Iris.
”I'm sorry about all this,” Iris told him while sniffling. ”I want to perform with you on the stage very much but as you can see, I'm not in the best condition to do so.”
Jin Chonglin waved a hand. ”Don't worry about it. Just focus on growing those hippos—I mean, babies until they're due to be born. I can't wait to meet my nieces or nephews. It would be awesome if at least one of them look like me even for just a little bit.”
Jin Liwei sent him an unconcealed look of disgust. ”Go find a wife and make your own baby.”
”I agree with your brother,” Iris said while chuckling.
”Hmph!” Jin Chonglin turned sullen, feeling attacked by the ruthless husband and wife.
At the mention of finding a wife, an image of a certain bossy woman with a potty mouth appeared in his mind. When he realized who he was thinking about, horror filled him.
”Erase, erase! Get out of my head! This prince doesn't even like you!”
Iris laughed at him. ”Who are you thinking about?”
”I think I know,” Jin Liwei said next.
”Oh? Who? Quick, darling. Tell me.”
”It's—”
”And I am late to my next appointment!” Jin Chonglin interrupted before his big brother could continue speaking. He stood up and ran to the door. ”I need to go. Get well soon, Sister Xiulan. Bye to both of you!”
He didn't even wait for the husband and wife to reply. He ran out as if escaping from a calamity.
When he left, Iris leaned towards Jin Liwei. Her eyes were shining with curiosity.
”Tell me who it is, darling.”
Jin Liwei smirked and told her.
She gasped but her eyes were twinkling with delight.
