His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 - Dare To Suppress His Baby Girl?

A soft expression appeared on Iris’ face. "Thank you."

"Can you tell us more about it? I really like it and would like to buy one for myself."

"What are you doing?" Director He’s voice rebuked the female host through her earpiece.

However, the host ignored the director. Something was telling her that she should pursue this line of questioning. If nothing came out of it, she would just apologize to the director later. But if she was on to something, the show would surely thank her.

"Hmm... I didn’t buy it," Iris replied.

"Oh? Then where did you get it? Was it given to you as a gift?"

"Yes, something like that."

Some of the people finally understood the host’s purpose for asking these questions. The camera zoomed in on Iris’ diamond ring. It sparkled under the lights. The design fit Iris extremely well. The people, be it the audience, the staff, the other performers and the viewers at home, stopped talking and listened intently to the interview, not wanting to miss even a single word.

"How nice! Who gave it to you?" The female host continued to ask. "Don’t tell me it’s an engagement ring. Ahaha!"

The male host also chuckled, including some of the people. They treated is as a good joke.

"Yes." Iris nodded.

The laughter stopped. Eyes widened.

"Camera #6 and #10, focus on Iris’ face. Make sure not to miss any of her expression," Director He instructed. He almost rubbed his hands together. He had a feeling that this would drive up the ratings of tonight’s episode.

"Iris, what did you say? You’re engaged?" The male host asked this time.

"Yes, I am engaged," Iris answered with a soft smile.

Gasps everywhere.

Male host: "Uh...wow. What a surprise...er...congratulations, Iris..."

Female host: "Congratulations! That’s wonderful!"

Iris: "Thank you."

Female host: "Can we know who your lucky fiancé is? Is he from showbiz as well? How long have you been engaged?"

Iris: "I want to keep him to myself first. No, he’s not from showbiz. Not that long ago. Only a few days before I returned to the country."

Female host: "I see. Do you love your fiancé?"

"Of course. I love him very much," Iris answered, looking directly at the camera in front of her, knowing that Jin Liwei was watching. "I love you, darling."

"Hello, Big Sis Yi— Ah! My ear! Please calm down, Big Sis Yiyi. Please don’t yell...."

Everyone in the room could hear the manager yelling even when the phone wasn’t on speaker.

"Give me the phone," Iris said.

When she answered the phone, Tang Yiyi scolded her seriously for the first time since they started working together.

"Iris! I can’t believe this! I thought that the Pandemonium boys already gave me a big headache tonight, but I didn’t expect that you’ll give me an even bigger headache! Why didn’t you tell me you’re engaged?"

"Elder Sister Yiyi, you haven’t seen my ring? I was wearing it the entire time."

"Of course I did, but I thought that it was just an accessory! There are many celebrities who wear diamond rings even though they’re not engaged. You’re still very young, so I never expected that you’re already planning on marrying! Next time, tell me these things first so that I and Bright Summit can make plans on how to handle the press! I knew something like this will happen one day. You’re too straightforward!"

Iris listened to her manager calmly. She sat beside Jin Liwei, feeling comforted when he wrapped his arm around her. She rested her head on the crook between his neck and shoulder.

The short gist of Tang Yiyi’s complaint was that it wasn’t the right time to reveal her engagement to the public yet, especially since she just returned to the limelight. This was a critical time for her to re-establish her foothold in showbiz. However, this kind of news might become a setback to her career instead.

"Some Bright Summit higher-ups are suggesting that I persuade you to retract your words."

Iris’ eyes turned cold. "Elder Sister Yiyi, may I remind you that the ’no relationship’ clause in my contract was removed when I signed it? If the company pressures me about my relationship with my fiancé, I’ll terminate my contract with Bright Summit. I can afford any penalty fees. Not only that, I can even sue the company for violating our contract. If I do that and I win, perhaps I won’t even have to pay any penalty at all. As for retracting my words, I will never do that. I am engaged and that is final."

Jin Liwei’s arm tightened around her, showing his support. He also felt warm inside as his baby girl defended him and their relationship. If Bright Summit dared to suppress his baby girl, they needed to be ready to face his wrath.
