Even though Iris Long had an incredible winning streak at the music and film awards, she didn’t take a break from work. On the contrary, she worked even harder after the Diamond Guild Film Awards. Interviews, guest appearances, performances, endorsent events, plus acting workshops and a whole slew of other things. Iris worked almost nonstop.
This was because she needed to take a break soon to prepare for the upcoming international business conference. Jin Liwei was extrely busy at work as well. He would also be participating in the business conference for Jin Corporation.
Both of them were extrely busy. There were days when they didn’t see each other at all and nights when they didn’t sleep together. These were the tis when Iris had job commitnts in other parts of the country.
Similarly, Jin Liwei sotis had to sleep at Jin Corporation to finish so work. There were also tis when he needed to attend business etings out-of-town or even abroad for a few days.
They missed each other terribly during these tis. There was a ti when they didn’t see each other for more than three days.
Surprisingly, it was Iris who couldn’t bear it. She was at the penthouse, exhausted from her long day, but she couldn’t sleep no matter how much she tried. She longed for Jin Liwei. So she flew to Singapore that sa night using one of Jin Liwei’s private jets just so they could be together for a few hours.
They were too exhausted to do anything other than cuddle and sleep together. Early the next morning, Iris almost didn’t want to return ho and leave him. She hugged his waist and buried her face against his chest.
"Love, I’ll co ho in two days. Although we’ll still be too busy, at least we can sleep on the sa bed every night." He kissed the top of her head. "Or if you want, you can cancel your schedule for today to stay here with . Or maybe, I can cancel my eting and co ho with you. Which do you prefer?"
She was tempted, but she shook her head and sighed. "It’s okay. I don’t want either of us holding each other back when it cos to our work. Besides, this is only temporary. I’ll take a break from my showbiz work soon for the international business conference. We could spend so quality ti together again during our free ti when we’re not at the conference. I’ll fly ho in an hour. But give two minutes...no, five minutes. I still want to cuddle with you."
He chuckled softly and smiled lovingly at his baby girl. He pulled her into his arms and embraced her more tightly.
Thirty minutes later (Iris refused to leave him after the five minutes was up and Jin Liwei didn’t remind her), the two finally said goodbye to each other. Both of them were already late for their own respective schedules, but they didn’t care as long as they could spend more ti with each other.
It was very difficult, but they were able to survive these challenging tis that they had to spend apart.

Dragon Palace Ho #10.
Finally, Iris’ took her much-awaited break from her busy showbiz schedule. She already started her intensive preparations with Professor Kalisha Schwarz, Professor Hisakawa Akio, and of course with Grandpa Lu as well.
During her free ti in-between her preparations, she sneaked in so ti for her three companies. In addition to this, she also worked on the the song for an upcoming TV drama.
At the mont, she and Jin Liwei were at ho. It was a weekend. They were still busy, but not as much compared to their insane schedules from before.
They were currently inside Iris’ ho music studio that Jin Liwei built for her. His expression was grim while she called soone on the phone.
"Hello? What’s up?" a familiar male voice answered, sounding distracted.
"Brother Chonglin, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet?" Iris asked, feeling a little annoyed. She glanced at her darling who looked more annoyed than her.
"Huh? Why do I need to go there?" Jin Chonglin asked in a totally clueless tone.
Jin Liwei’s expression darkened. He extended his hand, gesturing for Iris to give him the phone. A big scowl was on his face. She gestured back at him to give her a few monts.
"Brother Chonglin, have you forgotten that we have an appointnt to et each other today? Didn’t you agree that you’ll sing the duet with ?"
"Oh shit! Our eting is today?! Fuck! Hold on. I’ll go get ready quickly!"
Iris could hear hurried, rustling sounds on the phone. Curious, she asked him, "What were you doing? Why did you forget about our eting?"
"Ugh. Don’t ask..."
Jin Liwei snatched the phone from her, and then barked at the phone, "Answer her."
"Big Bro!" Suddenly, they heard loud crashing sounds. "Ouch! Fuck! My toe!"
Iris and Jin Liwei, the rciless couple, didn’t react at all when they heard Jin Chonglin get hurt. It was his fault anyway. Why did he have to be so careless? They just waited (a little impatiently) for him to answer their question.
Monts later, Jin Chonglin returned to the line. "Fine! I was playing a computer ga, okay? This new ga is just too damn addicting! It’s called ’Supre Ascension’ and many celebrities are starting to get hooked into it. So don’t bla for being late. Bla this fucking ga, okay?!"
A big delighted smile broke out of Iris’ face. She hugged Jin Liwei by the waist and giggled.
The corner of Jin Liwei’s lips also tugged upwards. However, he maintained the stern expression on his face. He also hugged his baby girl back with one arm while his other hand held the phone on loudspeaker.
"Go ahead and play more of that ga since you like it so much. Your eting with Xiulan can wait another day," Jin Liwei told him.
He was actually quite sincere and serious. His words were ant to be understood literally, but Jin Chonglin thought that he was angry and using reverse psychology on him.
"Big Bro! I’m sorry, okay? I’m not usually this unprofessional! It’s this ga’s fault! I’m coming in half an hour. I promise! Wait for a bit more!"
Then the call ended.
Iris still looked delighted. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jin Liwei. "Darling, don’t be too hard on your brother. He’s a great custor for my gaming company. And did you hear about him saying that lots of celebrities are getting hooked on the ga?"
"En." He was also pleased to her that "Supre Ascension" was getting widely popular among gars. Then he thought of sothing. "Let’s have my brother write about it on his blog. It’ll be a great advertisent for your ga."
She tilted her head to the side. "Will he do that? I don’t want to impose. Planet Monkey isn’t at a stable state yet that we can afford to pay for endorsers, especially a big celebrity like Brother Chonglin."
"Love, he’s your future brother-in-law. He should do this much for family. I told you before, use him in whatever way you need. Hmm. Don’t worry. I’ll be the one to tell him to write sothing about your ga on his blog. He won’t dare say no to ."
(Jin Liwei also followed Grandpa Lu’s teachings of not being afraid to be shaless when it ca to family.)
"Darling, you’re so evil. I love it." Then she blinked her eyes up at him. "I love you," she whispered.
He smiled, pleased. Then he dipped his head and kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you more."
Poor Jin Chonglin. He hadn’t even arrived yet but he was already dood to be exploited by the opportunistic couple who was currently being lovey-dovey with each other.
About forty minutes later, Jin Chonglin finally arrived at the mansion. The butler led him to the music studio where Iris was singing a song to Jin Liwei while playing the keyboard. Before he could even greet them, Jin Liwei swept his frosty eyes at him.
"You’re very late," Jin Liwei told him in a cold voice.
Jin Chonglin could only purse his lips and mumble "sorry".
Iris greeted him more warmly than his own brother. Then they started discussing about the love song they planned on singing together for the TV drama. At the mont, Iris opted on not informing the TV drama’s production team that she was going to work with Jin Chonglin. They would surely go crazy once they learned about it. She didn’t want it leaked to the public yet. She wanted it to be completely secret for now.
After the initial discussion, they tried singing it together. Nothing too formal. They just wanted to test out how they sounded together.
While they were working, Jin Liwei stayed in the music studio with them. His laptop and so docunts were in front of him, as he finished up so of his work.
Then Iris and Jin Chonglin started arguing. Jin Chonglin wanted to make so changes to the song, but Iris didn’t like his ideas. It was similar to how Iris fought with JJ a lot during music production.
"Be good and do what Xiulan tells you." Jin Liwei, of course, sided with his baby girl.
