Jin Chonglin frowned and looked at Iris with concern. "So you’re really sick? Dammit. If something happens to you on my watch, my brother will murder me."
"Smile," Iris reminded him. "Don’t look at me like that or people will gossip that all is not well between us in-laws."
He smoothed out his expression but continued to talk in a low voice. "You’re making me nervous, Sister Xiulan."
"Don’t be. I’m feeling fine. Not 100% fine but enough to get through this awards ceremony. Hopefully."
"That doesn’t sound reassuring at all," he muttered.
"Fortunately, we’re only award presenters tonight. Don’t worry about what I said anymore, Brother Chonglin. I feel fine, really. I just warned you so that you won’t freak out if something really happens to me later."
He clicked his tongue but still maintained a light smile on his handsome face. From an observer’s point of view, the two of them looked like they were talking about something amusing based on their smiling expressions. Nobody would ever guess that they were talking about something worrying instead.
A few minutes later, all celebrities and other attendees were finally seated on the ground floor VIP seats in front of the stage. The surrounding seats in the upper levels of the stadium were filled with hordes of fans holdings banners of their favourite celebrities.
Jin Chonglin was among the top 3 most seen face and name on the fan banners. The other top 2 were also superstars like him. One was an internationally successful male movie star while the other was a top actress in the country.
Iris Long’s face and name could also be seen on a lot of banners, especially among a very distinct group wearing stylish tuxedo suits, but nowhere near the level of the superstars like Jin Chonglin. Nevertheless, she was still among the most eye-catching celebrities attending tonight’s event. Even disregarding her breathtaking beauty and presence, her achievements this year alone were all truly deserving of respect and admiration. People no longer saw her as a mere pop singer.
She was Iris Long, a multi-award-winning musician and owner of the hottest trending beauty company this season, Orchidia Beauty, among her other incredible achievements so far since her comeback. In addition, she was also the fiancée of CEO Jin Liwei and future sister-in-law of superstar Jin Chonglin.
Her current status in showbiz had ascended many levels compared to her unstable track record when she was still a teenage pop idol. She was now a very valuable and in-demand celebrity.
People were looking forward to how she would manage her showbiz career down the road. Would she continue on this rising momentum and become even more famous in the future? Or would her career stall at this stage, neither rising nor falling? Or would she make an irreversible mistake, destroying her career and causing her to retire and disappear from the limelight?
