His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 - Third Album

Dom and Meimei leaned forward to read the headlines from the newspaper.

Meimei: "Oh wow! They’re all about you, Xiulan!"

Dom: "Of course! It’s because Boss is the best."

Meimei: "Your upcoming album is already breaking records! Amazing!"

Dom: "Ehehe. As expected, Boss is awesome."

Meimei: "Uwah! Xiulan, can you give me a signed copy?"

Dom: "Hey! Don’t ask boss for a copy. You should buy one!"

Meimei: "Aaaw. Come on. Fine, I’ll just steal―I mean, ask for another one from Uncle Tengfei. I’m sure he’ll buy lots again."

The two high-fived and laughed.

Meimei: "Eh? What did that stupid film critic say? ’Someone like Iris Long’? What’s that supposed to mean? Is that an insult?"

Dom: "Hmph! Film critic, my a**! Posing as an expert when he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about!"

Iris took the newspaper from Jin Liwei and speed read the article containing an interview with a film critic.

"Hmm... He’s not wrong," Iris said. "I’m indeed composing a film score for an indie film. And yes, they have low budget."

Meimei: "Oh, is that true?"

Iris nodded, returning the newspaper back to Jin Liwei. He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before continuing to read.

Dom: "Hmph! So what if it’s an indie film with low budget? Being indie doesn’t mean low quality! Boss dared to accept the offer to be their official composer so of course the story is awesome! Not that I know what the story is about because it’s supposed to be a secret but I trust Boss’ judgment. I’m sure it’s a super duper great story. That film critic doesn’t even know what movie he’s talking about and he’s already judging it! So unprofessional! And he calls himself an expert? Pweh!"

"Oooh." Meimei bobbed her head. "I see. You’re right! I’ve watched awesome indie films before. How dare that film critic! He’s just a hater. Haters gonna hate. Hmph!"

Dom: "Yeah!"

The two grumbled together and bad-mouthed the critic.

Iris watched them, a warm smile on her face. She didn’t really care about what strangers were saying about her. But she felt grateful that she had people who would readily defend her name because they liked her as a person and not because it was their job or duty to do so.

She finished eating and sipped hot ginger tea. These days, her schedule wasn’t as packed to the brim. Likewise, Jin Liwei’s business project was already running smoothly so his schedule also eased up. That was why they had more times like these when they could eat meals together without rushing for work.

It was a Saturday. At the moment, their morning was very relaxed. But later in the afternoon, she would be guesting on a TV show. Jin Liwei didn’t need to go to work today. He said that he would be meeting with his brothers Lin Yehan, Wang Yingjie and Yu Mo later to hang out.

She leaned against Jin Liwei, looking over his shoulder to read the newspaper with him. Over half of the entire entertainment section was talking about her. The main interest, however, was on her appointment as the official composer for a currently unknown film.

Iris remembered how it came about.
