His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1551

Chapter 1551 Let’s Go Home Together

"I love it," Iris said while admiring the huge painting through tears.

Jin Liwei took his pocket square and used the handkerchief to wipe his wife's tears, careful not to smudge her makeup. He didn't have to worry too much, though, because most of her makeup was waterproof anyway.

"I must have it," Iris declared.

"En, don't worry, love," he assured her. "I'll bid on it."

"No need to bid," Ashandra said. "This is my gift for Xiulan."

Iris gasped. "Ashandra!"

Ashandra hugged her. "I told you that I have a surprise for you. Didn't I also mention that you've been a huge inspiration to me for this collection? To tell you the truth, creating this painting has been such a huge joy for me, unlike the other ones which sent me to therapy. I always looked forward to waking up each day just to paint this."

"But giving this to me for free is a bit…." Iris tried to say.

"What are you saying, Xiulan? Are you treating me as an outsider? You're my friend but I consider you more like a sister. Please don't argue about this with me anymore. I already decided to give it to you and that's final."

Iris could only hug her friend tighter.

Ashandra chuckled. "All I'm asking you is to allow me to display this painting for longer. Once my exhibition ends, then I'll have it sent to your home."

"Okay, Ashandra. Thank you so much." Iris grabbed her husband's dark emerald handkerchief to dab her tears.

Many of the guests also admired the huge painting of Iris and her children. They wanted to bid for it but there was no bidding slot available. They asked and were disappointed to hear that Ashandra Knightson had already given it as a gift to Madame Jin, her muse for the painting.

"So you have two children?" one of the guests asked.

"Two babies, four cats, and two dogs," Iris answered. "They're all my children."

The others didn't think too much about her too-specific reply. They just thought that she must be an animal lover.

It was a good thing that Ashandra painted Little Mochi and Little Matcha in a way that left about half of their faces in the shadows. Nevertheless, anyone looking at the painting could still see their cuteness.

The main focus of the painting was the mother, Iris.

She was depicted in a way that seemed to glow from within.

Jin Liwei also couldn't stop staring at it.

Then Iris noticed something in the painting. She pointed at a shadow in the corner. "Look at that! Is that my husband's shadow?"

Ashandra laughed. "Good eye, Xiulan. I didn't expect you to catch that right away. Indeed, I had to include the whole family in this painting in some way without blatantly showing your husband and the kids' father. So I decided to just include Liwei's shadow."

Jin Liwei didn't notice the shadow at first until his wife pointed it out. Now that he saw it, he couldn't conceal the pleased smile on his face.

"I can't wait to display this in our home," he said.

Iris and Ashandra laughed at his reaction.

"Alright, I've already shown you my surprise," Ashandra said. "I'm going to leave you two for now. I still need to speak and entertain the other guests."

When she left, Iris and Jin Liwei walked closer to the painting. They continued to admire the huge, beautiful painting. Jin Liwei was also envisioning the best place to hang it.

The other guests were also admiring the painting. They even approached the couple to chat about it.

Finally, the first night of the art exhibition was about to end. Iris and Jin Liwei bid goodbye to Ashandra Knightson before leaving with their disguised bodyguards following behind them.

Iris, Jin Liwei and their family decided to stay in France for a few extra days.

Tang Yiyi already took Yin Meixing to fly back home a few days ago. Yin Meixing had to return due to prior work arrangements. LXC Studio was working hard to promote her as one of their top artists besides Jin Chonglin and Iris Long.

Inside their Parisian home, Little Mochi and Little Matcha watched as their Uncle Lin Lin hugged their Auntie Fei, refusing to let her go.

"Yah yah yah!" Little Mochi clapped his little hands in delight, urging his Uncle Lin Lin to show something funnier.

Little Matcha sucked on his pacifier while watching the scene with curiosity.

"No, let's go home together!" Jin Chonglin said, acting like a spoiled child.

Chen Fei was so angry but she still couldn't help but laugh. "Let me go! I already told you that I need to go with Xiulan for Orchidia Germany's launch! You go home first."

"No, babe! I don't want to leave you!"

Chen Fei rolled her eyes before looking at her friends with helplessness.
