His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 - Playing Around

Iris blinked a couple of times before taking the CD and writing "Elder Brother Hui" instead of his requested "Long Hui". She didn’t like how he was talking down at her like a child, so why should she completely heed to his request? She gave the signed CD back to him. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Long Hui frowned, displeased that she didn’t follow his exact instructions. However, he didn’t complain, nodding at her instead.

She smiled sweetly at him, oddly enjoying his expression of displeasure.

Long Tengfei nodded. He was pleased that his two legitimate children were acting in a civil manner to each other. Yang Jiahui released the breath she was holding and smiled. Meimei started chatting again with Iris.

The topics of their conversations changed frequently. Iris mentioned that she was looking for a female bodyguard. Long Tengfei offered to help her look for one.

"Thank you, Father."

"En." Long Tengfei nodded.

"Do you have any specific requirements for a female bodyguard?" Long Hui unexpectedly asked, joining the conversation on his own accord.

She tilted her head to the side, thinking. "I personally don’t have any specific requirements other than loyalty, trustworthiness, and of course martial arts skills. I actually don’t want bodyguards but my boyfriend and my manager, even Father, want me to have at least two. They managed to convince me so I’m currently hiring."

Long Hui had a serious look on his face as if thinking deeply of something.

"Wait!" Meimei interrupted. "Xiulan, you have a boyfriend?"

Iris nodded.

"Really? How come we don’t know? Oh, is it supposed to be a secret? Is he from showbiz too? Who is he? Oh, it’s okay if you don’t want to say."

"He’s not from showbiz. He’s just a regular businessman, no one special."

On the other hand, Long Tengfei was silently listening to his children’s conversation. As a matter of fact, he approved of this kind of discussion. He didn’t mind their talks about inheritance because it was indeed inevitable that he would die someday and pass on his wealth to his own children. Except for Long Hui who was his immediate heir, he never forced any of his other children to work at his company. He let them decide what careers they wanted to pursue, but deep inside he still wanted all his children to follow in his footsteps and continue his legacy by working for the family business.

"Even our other siblings are aiming to work at the main company," Long Hui continued. "Our brother is already working at a small branch division. Once he gains enough experience and skills, he’ll transfer to the main company. Our sister is in her last year of university and has also expressed interest in entering the company like our brother by starting at a small branch division first. You’re the only one who’s still playing around. I know that you’re the youngest, but you’re already 20. You’re now an adult, no longer a child."

Iris’ eyes narrowed, but her face remained calm. This man said that she was ’playing around’?

"Thank you for your advice, Elder Brother Hui," she replied in a light yet cold tone. "I’ll be sure to never forget what you just said to me."

She would indeed never forget how he described her current career as ’playing around’.

Meimei felt sorry for Iris, so she ended up speaking before thinking. "Xiulan’s career is off to a great start ever since her comeback. Her songs and album debuted within the top 10 rankings in the music charts and they’re only getting more popular by the day. And even if her showbiz career isn’t doing well, Big Brother just said that she’s an heiress of this family. I’m sure she can also enter the company and start working anytime she wants like your other siblings."

"Oh?" Long Hui raised an eyebrow. "Is that what you think?"
