"I know that all of you are busy yet still made the time to join me in celebrating my wife's achievement," Jin Liwei said in a powerful voice. "Thank you, everyone, for coming today. My wife's comeback song, 'I, the Dreamer', has been years in the making. I'm eternally grateful to her for sacrificing a few years of pursuing her showbiz dreams to marry me and bear me beautiful children. I've been living in constant joy and bliss with her and our family, but now that she's ready to step out into the showbiz world again, I'll do everything to support her with everything I have. And I know that all of you feel the same way.
"My wife is the most passionate, motivated, determined, disciplined, and hardworking woman that I've ever met in my entire life. She's a constant inspiration to me because she showed me that a person can balance work and personal life well. She made me realize that true happiness doesn't only stem from a successful career but also from a united, happy family and loyal friendships. Because of her, I've become a better man, a better person.
"Today, please help me celebrate my wife as she dominates the top of the music charts with her new song, 'I, the Dreamer'. Yes, she is the dreamer, and I, her believer. I know that all of us are her loyal supporters, that's why we all came together today to celebrate her achievement.
"She'll release more singles soon, and eventually her full album. I hope that all of us here tonight can continue to help her music become legendary. We all know how talented she is. She'll surely reach all of her dreams."
He looked at his wife in the eyes, conveying to her how much he loved and believed in her.
"You are my light. I won't be half the man that I've become today without you. Here I am, here we are telling you to go ahead and pursue your dreams without any worries. No matter the challenges, no matter the setbacks, we'll always have your back. And whenever you have any triumph, we'll celebrate them with you just like today."
Iris Long's eyes watered. "Thank you."
Then she reached for his shoulders, stood on her tippy-toes, and then kissed him in front of everyone.
Dom led everyone in cheering.
Then the husband and wife felt two small cannons hitting and hugging their legs.
"Mama, dada! Yah yah!" (Mommy, Daddy! Kiss me, too!)
"Ma, Da! Uh!" (Mommy, Daddy! Me, too!)
Iris glanced down at her twins and laughed. She bent down and carried Little Mochi while Jin Liwei carried Little Matcha. Then the husband and wife also kissed their sons.
Ice Cream and Popcorn followed their human baby brothers. The two cats, one fat and one agile, rubbed themselves against their parents' legs. Pudding and Chowder, the twins' guard dogs, also positioned themselves on either side of the family, fulfilling their duties while at the same time declaring to everyone that they were also part of the family.
Unseen by the others, Ketchup and Bacon were watching everything that was happening at the party. Due to their sensitive identity as extremely powerful artificial intelligence beings, they couldn't openly join their family. Nevertheless, they didn't feel left out at all. Those who were aware of their identities accepted them with whole hearts and even helped in concealing any information about them.
All they knew was that they were their mother and father's children just like their siblings. And they would protect their family from any enemies no matter what.
Iris addressed their guests next.
"I can't possibly express how grateful and happy I am that all of you came today. Seeing all of you, especially the children, makes me feel that all the hard work I'm doing is worth it. I want the children to see first-hand and to realize that although they've been born into a life of privilege just like me, it still takes discipline, hard work, a clear vision, and of course a tight-knit group of family and friends who support them to be able to achieve their dreams in the most fulfilling way possible."
She looked at Jin Liwei.
"Thank you, Liwei. You say that because of me, you became a better man and a better person. Well, I'll also say something, so please listen. I also became a better woman and a better person because of you and the family you gave me. Before, all I could think about was my own future. But now, you've expanded my vision by creating a beautiful family with me. I became a mother to our children, the greatest gifts I've ever received in my existence. But before that, I'll always be your wife, and you'll always be my husband."
Jin Liwei's eyes softened.
The depths of his love and devotion for the woman standing beside him couldn't be possibly explained in just a few simple words. It would take a lifetime, perhaps even more, to show her that his love for her was true and endless.
"Big Bro, Sister Xiulan, can we start eating now?" an annoying voice interrupted the touching atmosphere. "I'm starving—ouch! Babe, why did you kick my leg?!"
Chen Fei wanted to remove her shoe and hit his head with it. Then she looked around and gave everyone an apologetic smile. "Sorry, everyone! Please excuse this childish diva man!"
Jin Chonglin bristled upon hearing his fiancée calling him a "diva man".
He was a world-famous manly man whose iconic smile was enough to cause imaginary pregnancies! He, Prince Lin Lin, refused to accept being associated with the term "diva"!
"Now, babe, listen—"
His mouth automatically closed itself when he saw his fiancée glaring at him. freёwebnoѵel.com
Hmph!
He wasn't afraid of his woman. Not at all! He just didn't want to argue with her in front of so many people. He was a mature and understanding fiancé.
What could he do?
