His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1283

Before tonight, Iris Long had been alternating between the fourth and fifth places in the voting poll for the People's Choice Award for Most Popular Female Artist. Her long absence from the public eye had taken its toll.

Despite the efforts of the Black Stars, they couldn't push their Boss Iris up the the rankings to the top spots. They refused to tarnish their Boss Iris' reputation by resorting to cheating like other celebrities who they suspected hired water armies. They wanted to win fair and square.

In the end, they reluctantly accepted that their Boss Iris might not be able to defend her last year's title of People's Choice Award for Most Popular Female Artist. It didn't matter anyway compared to the real awards chosen by the experts. Given their Boss Iris' musical talents and skills, she would surely nab at least one of the awards tonight.

Male host: "The people have chosen!"

Female host: "The reigning Most Popular Female Artist is—"

Both hosts: "Iris Long!"

The word "reigning" had already clued in many to the winner. The camera focused on the surprised Iris Long.

She truly didn't expect that she would win the People's Choice Award for Most Popular Female Artist this year. She saw the voting polls earlier before she and her husband headed to the red carpet. She had been sitting in fourth place that time. Therefore, it was surprising for her to win this award again.

Jin Liwei helped her and escorted her up the stairs but didn't join her on the stage. Iris gave a short speech thanking her fans and everyone who voted for her. Then she returned to her seat with Jin Liwei while holding the first award that she received tonight (and hopefully not the last).

For her, the People's Choice Award was a nice extra treat. She was thankful to win it again and defend her title as the Most Popular Female Artist but she considered the awards to which she received official nominations to be much more important.

Jin Liwei leaned closer to her and whispered the possible reason why she won. According to him, her showing up with a big belly earlier on the red carpet definitely put her on the live headlines. The revelation of her pregnancy was a huge bombshell. After all, she was Iris Long and her husband?was Jin Liwei.

This shocking bombshell might have prompted the people to vote for her at the last minute, eventually pushing her up to the top of the rankings.

"I see," Iris murmured.

She hadn't foreseen this outcome at all. Unlike other celebrities who would use every possible tactic to increase their popularity, Iris didn't care too much for this kind of petty publicity methods. She preferred to use her own creative body of musical work to speak for themselves instead.

Afterwards, Jin Chonglin won the Most Popular Male Artist as everyone expected. His feat of winning it for so many consecutive years was already a legend in the history of Harmony Music Awards. He was truly a superstar in every sense of the word.

It was finally the latter half of the show when the major awards were scheduled to be given out. The atmosphere was more energetic and tenser (in a good way). [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Female host: "Welcome back to the Harmony Music Awards! Now it's time for our next category—Best Songwriter!"

Male host: "And the nominees are…."

Three songwriters were introduced.

Female host: "Jin Chonglin, 'Passionate Flames'!"

His army of fans went wild.

Female host: "Iris Long, 'Shining Eyes'!"

Both hosts: "Iris Long, 'Shining Eyes'!!!"

The hit song 'Shining Eyes' began playing in the background as Iris hugged Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin beside her.
