His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1530  Iris Long and Jin Chonglin’s Duet (Part I)

This time, nobody had to lead the applause. Everyone in the audience gave a standing ovation of their own accord.

"Superb!"

"Bravo!"

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!"

Iris stood up and executed her signature curtsy bow, drawing another round of applause, louder this time. She turned around and faced her band of musicians. Then she also gave them a curtsy bow as thanks for their amazing cooperation with her. The musicians all beamed and bowed to her as well, clapping for her, for themselves, and for everyone.

"Thank you," Iris mouthed to everyone.

Jin Chonglin watched his sister-in-law basking in the audience's adoration after a successful performance. Even he couldn't help but feel awed. He was still savouring the beautiful performance in his mind when he felt a hard elbow hitting him on the side.

"Huh? What?" he asked, a little dazed.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes at him and gestured for him to clap his hands. There were other people around them. It wouldn't do Iris and Jin Chonglin any good if someone reported that he didn't clap after his sister-in-law's performance. The media would definitely spin it into a sensational narrative about a superstar brother-in-law feeling jealous and threatened by his talented sister-in-law.

"Oh." Jin Chonglin realized it, too, so he followed suit and started joining the applause.

His mind, however, was still replaying Iris' beautiful performance. He had watched her perform "Rebirth" live on stage many times before especially while the two were competing with each other for the top spot in the music charts.

Usually, English versions of a song couldn't capture the emotions of the original song. This English version of "Rebirth", however, was an exception.

This version that Iris performed also somewhat differed from the original version. The musical arrangements were a bit different, including Iris' vocal arrangement. It highlighted her increased vocal range while also making it casual enough for a party performance.

Perhaps it was because Iris had matured a lot after giving birth, but the way she sang now felt more soul-stirring than before. Her high notes were as impressive as ever, but it was her low notes that Jin Chonglin felt particularly imposing. She didn't have this vocal quality before she got pregnant.

Jin Chonglin felt a little envious. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just a tad bit.

His vocal range had basically reached its full potential by now. It was already difficult for him to make modifications to his vocal range. He also had to be cautious because any careless modifications might damage his vocal chords which would be detrimental to his career as a singer. The only thing he could basically do right now was to change concepts and styles.

Iris' vocal range increased after giving birth. Maybe he could also….

"Babe," he called.

"What is it?" Chen Fei asked while continuing to clap with everyone else.

"Let's have a baby."

She glared at him. "You're still going on about this?"

"Sister Xiulan's voice improved after having a baby. Maybe if I—ouch!"

He gave her a look of disbelief and hurt for stepping on his poor foot.

"Go back to school, Jin Chonglin," she scolded him. "Maybe if you're the one giving birth and not me, then your voice might also improve like Xiulan's. Don't be stupid and learn more about Science."

He pouted but didn't retort.

Back on the stage, Iris had no idea that her brother-in-law was so envious of her improved voice that he was even insisting on having a baby again. She finally got the audience in control again.

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you! Next, I would like to invite my brother-in-law—"

Another round of excited cheers.

Iris chuckled. "Please help me invite to the stage my brother-in-law, the one and only Jin Chonglin!!!"

Most of the audience partook in the cocktails and champagne, so they were more relaxed now. After Madame Iris Long's superb performance, they looked forward to superstar Jin Chonglin's performance as well.

Jin Chonglin was still distracted by his painful foot. Then his girlfriend elbowed him again.

"What now?" he asked, sulking a little.

"They're calling you on stage!" Chen Fei said. "Go!"

"Oh, right." He immediately changed expressions, flashing everyone his killer smile and waving as he walked toward the stage.

Chen Fei fought the urge to roll her eyes again. If she kept rolling her eyes, they might not go back to normal.

Although she scolded Jin Chonglin for asking her to have a baby with him again, the truth was she felt happy in her heart. With a smile that she tried restraining, she also joined the other audience members in cheering for her boyfriend.

Jin Chonglin chatted with Iris on the stage. Both were professionals and knew how to entertain with seemingly unscripted chatter.

He took over the conversation and asked the audience directly, "Has any of you watched the TV drama, 'Our Love, Our Destiny'?"

There was another round of cheers and a few raised hands.

"Oh? Plenty, it seems." He nodded in approval.

Although he didn't star in the drama himself, it still became extremely popular internationally, partly because of the theme song he sang with Iris Long.

Both the TV drama and theme song became the most popular in Asian countries, so Jin Chonglin was a little surprised that some watched it among the guests today. He was very pleased.

"This song that we are going to sing is the theme song of the TV drama, 'Our Love, Our Destiny'. My beautiful sister-in-law and owner of Liberté, Iris Long, wrote this song. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy our song, 'Shining Eyes'."

Someone gave Jin Chonglin an acoustic guitar while Iris sat in front of the piano again.

The band of musicians behind them also took their positions. The spotlight dimmed once again before gradually illuminating the two performers—one handsome, the other beautiful.

Jin Chonglin strummed his guitar. The classical musicians followed suit and harmonized with him. Then Iris began playing the piano, enveloping the melody, making it full of passion.
