His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1624

After Iris Long finished warming up her vocal cords, she and Enrique Valdez headed to the other dressing room where her musicians stayed. The other dressing room was not really a dressing room but a makeshift private area along a hallway instead. This was because there were too many musicians to fit inside a single dressing room.

Nevertheless, nobody complained because the program staff already did their best to make the musicians comfortable. If not for Iris Long and Enrique Valdez’s status, these musicians wouldn’t even enjoy this kind of special treatment. If the lead singer that they were working with didn’t have such a special status, then they would have to fend for themselves.

Everyone stood up and greeted Iris Long and Enrique Valdez as soon as they saw the two.

Jin Liwei, Dom, and Iris’ entourage followed behind.

After everyone greeted each other, Iris continued pacing around the makeshift dressing. At the same time, everyone watched tonight’s live broadcast on the TV hanging on the wall.

There was a newly debuted boyband performing. It was obvious that they were all pretty young—teenagers, in fact.

Iris couldn’t help but stop her pacing as she watched the boys doing their best to perform live on stage.

It was clear that they were all still nervous. Their voices cracked in some places, and their dancing felt stiff in some steps. However, the hopeful enthusiasm in their eyes and their youthful energy made up for all the little mistakes in their performance.

She sighed as the new boyband’s performance resonated with the original Long Xiulan’s memories that she had.

The original Long Xiulan had also been an enthusiastic pop singer filled with youthful energy. Although she hadn’t been considered a newbie in showbiz as she had started out as a child commercial model, her transition to the music industry felt natural due to her gifted voice.

It was only because of a bad choice of songs, bad management, her pushy stage mother (a.k.a. Wei Lan), her destructive antics, and her own self-centred, main character/princess syndrome that the original Long Xiulan had such a terrible public persona. The media and anti-fans loved to hate her.

Iris sighed again. Now that she was a mother, she wished that she could have had a chance to help the original Long Xiulan to straighten her ways.

But that was impossible.

If it weren’t for the original Long Xiulan’s death, then she, Evelina Vetrova, wouldn’t have had a chance to be reborn after her death during the total annihilation of the Vetrov criminal empire.

For this, Iris (Evelina) would always be grateful to the original Long Xiulan.

Iris couldn’t help but sigh again at the direction of her thoughts. Being a mother had indeed changed her perspective. She had become more introspective than ever before.

A warm hug pulled her out of her reverie.

"What’s wrong, love?" Jin Liwei whispered in her ear.

She smiled and allowed herself to melt in his arms.

"Nervous?" he asked.

She shook her head.

"Excited?"

She nodded. "Extremely excited."

His eyes softened. "You’ll do great, love. Just like always."

"Get a room, you disgustingly sweet couple!" JJ’s voice interrupted the good atmosphere.

The musicians once again all stood up to greet the producer.

Iris rolled her eyes while Jin Liwei tightened his arms around her.

JJ made an exaggerated scoff at the married couple before greeting Enrique Valdez and chatting with him.

The musicians looked at each other and did their best to hide their smiles. They were already used to seeing Iris Long and JJ butting heads all the time. Those who didn’t know them enough would think that the two had a bad relationship, but that was far from the truth.

Both Iris Long and JJ had extremely strong personalities. They also had the same streak of perfectionism, so they drove each other crazy trying to fight for their own idea of perfection.

Then add Enrique Valdez, the legendary hitmaker, to the mix.

The musicians always felt like they were in a warzone whenever they worked with the three of them. Despite this, they all treasured this precious opportunity to be working with the three. The musicians felt like their craft had improved by leaps and bounds ever since they started working with the trio.

After chatting with the taciturn Enrique—it was mostly JJ speaking and Enrique giving one-word replies—JJ returned to face Iris again. Once again, he scoffed upon seeing her in the arms of her husband.

"Aren’t you embarrassed acting like a pair of clingy teenage lovers in front of everyone?"

Jin Liwei ignored him and continued hugging his wife.

Iris smirked on purpose and twisted her body so that her back pressed on Jin Liwei’s front instead. "What’s wrong with me hugging my own husband? Liwei and I are legally married. We have every right to hug each other whenever we want. If you’re so envious of us, why don’t you find yourself a wife? It would be nice to have an auntie to help mellow out an old man like you."

JJ clicked his tongue. He looked like he wanted to remove his shoe and throw it at her. "I dare you to say that to me again, you brat!"

The musicians had already lost interest in Iris and JJ’s childish bickering. They had gotten used to it long ago. Instead, they polished and tuned their instruments while chatting with each other.

Enrique Valdez also found a seat for himself and tuned his electric guitar while watching the program’s live broadcast on TV.

Throughout the program, other artists came to greet Iris Long’s group.

Of course, Iris knew that most of these artists came for Enrique Valdez and JJ, not her.

She beamed at him. It was obvious that she was already raring to go. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
