His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607 - A Man Changes After He Marries

The next day, Iris finally returned to work. She still needed to take care of the wounds on her neck and shoulder but at least they weren’t in any danger of being infected anymore. The pain was also manageable and didn’t bother her.

She felt excited and energetic at the thought of diving once again in her work. It was just that several teams of bodyguards tailed her wherever she went once outside Dragon Palace Home #10.

One team protected her in close proximity, shielding her from any crowd. A second team followed a few metres away. Two other teams protected her from a distance. Iris couldn’t see them with her own eyes but she could somehow sense their presence. She also confirmed their locations from Ketchup.

Originally, Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao wanted to send five teams each of their subordinates to protect her whenever she was outside, for a total of ten teams. However, she negotiated with the two overprotective men and managed to decrease their suggestion to two teams each instead, for a total of four teams. Four teams were already a lot, in her opinion. Any more than these and she would go crazy.

Although she was no longer as distressed by bodyguards as before because it reminded her of her past life as a lonely, sheltered princess of the criminal underworld who didn’t have any freedom and independence, she still didn’t feel comfortable about bodyguards following her around. This was one of things that she was sensitive about. There had been many times that she lost her temper at Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao when it came to the topic of bodyguards.

The bomb incident finally provided the two overprotective men with ample persuading power to finally make her agree to increase the size of her personal security team. So even though she didn’t like it, she had to accept the many bodyguards—both visible and hidden—who followed her around. She almost died in the bomb incident, after all. Even she agreed that it was a close call. Perhaps it wouldn’t have happened if her security had been tighter.

That morning, Iris and Dom (and her bodyguards) headed to Bright Summit to meet with Tang Yiyi. As soon as she entered, her body immediately went into self-defence mode because there were several loud popping sounds and all she could see were multi-coloured confetti and flower petals raining down on her. Her bodyguards also reacted quickly and surrounded her and Dom.

"WELCOME BACK, IRIS LONG!!!"

It was then that Iris noticed the crowd of people lining up the entire lobby. They were Bright Summit’s staff and some of her fellow artists. All were clapping their hands and wearing big smiles on their faces as they shouted her name. Tang Yiyi was there, immediately running to her with a huge bouquet of flowers. Bright Summit’s higher-ups were also present, including the company president.

Iris felt a little overwhelmed. She didn’t expect this at all! When she turned her head beside her, Dom was giggling with a knowing expression on his face.

"You knew about this?" she asked.

"Ehehe. Of course, boss! Big Sis Yiyi informed me that they’re planning to give you a grand welcome back!"

Tang Yiyi reached them and handed Iris the bouquet before pulling her to the group of higher-ups. Iris greeted everyone with a bright smile.

"Iris, you look beautiful as always! Glad to see that you’re safe and sound. How are you feeling?"

"I was so worried about you!"

"Thank goodness you’re okay!"

"You look paler and thinner! Are you really alright?"

Questions and words of concern bombarded Iris left and right. She did her best to give brief, polite replies. Blaze, Eros, Night and Thunder of Pandemonium were also there, acting like her protective brothers. The boys helped carry all the flowers and other presents the crowd kept on giving her.

The welcome event didn’t last long because all of them were busy with their own respective work. Iris and her entourage excused themselves and headed straight to Tang Yiyi’s office. The crowd dispersed after they left.

When they arrived at Tang Yiyi’s office, they saw Jin Chonglin waiting there, looking like a debonair prince. A few buttons of his long-sleeved shirt were open, revealing his muscled chest. He sat on the edge of Tang Yiyi’s desk, playing with some paperclips and linking them to make a chain. His presence added life and energy to the plain office. His manager, Lin Dong, was also there and one of his assistants.
