In the middle of the interviews, Jin Chonglin noticed a familiar figure stepping out of a vehicle onto the red carpet. He immediately excused himself from the reporters and moved to welcome the new arrivals. JJ and DJ Song followed suit.
Since the trio had been the focus of almost everyone's attention ever since their arrival, all of their movements were magnified in people's eyes.
Following the trio's line of sight, everyone finally realized that CEO Jin Liwei had arrived. His appearance meant that a certain person should have also arrived with him.
All the Black Stars' eyes lit up.
Then an elegant silver low kitten heel stepped out of the car onto the red carpet followed by the figure of a—WHOA!
Eyes popped out.
Jaws fell.
Loud gasps all around.
Jin Liwei carefully supported Iris Long as she managed to step out of the vehicle with her usual elegance. This time, however, the great caution in her movements were apparent.
"OH MY GOSH!!!"
"Iris Long's belly is—it's…holy macaroni!"
"SHE'S PREGNANT?!!!"
Zhou Mei'er, Ming Li, Father Ming and the other Black Stars also couldn't believe their eyes. The last time they saw their Boss Iris was at the livestream of the grand opening of Eve Holdings. Her slender, hour-glass body was still the same back then. At least, that was what they remembered.
It wasn't even that long ago yet. But look at her now. How come her belly had gotten so…HUGE!
Everyone looked at the shockingly pregnant Iris Long being escorted by her husband, the ever cold and handsome CEO Jin, and being welcomed by her superstar brother-in-law Jin Chonglin, music producer JJ, and radio host DJ Song.
So the trio had been waiting for the wife and husband.
This time, the camera flashes were faster and more intense than when Jin Chonglin arrived earlier. All the reporters knew that this could be the biggest scoop tonight.
Iris was wearing a deceptively simple yet elegantly regal Grecian-style gown. It flowed like royal blue water around all the curves of her body.
Despite her swollen belly and chest, it was quite surprising that Iris still maintained her overall slender build. Her physique still looked graceful and delicate. She wasn't like most pregnant women who became fat. It seemed that all the food she ate went to the tiny human growing inside her belly. When people looked at her back, she didn't look pregnant at all.
After greeting Jin Chonglin, JJ and DJ Song, Iris noticed the suited Black Stars. She waved and graced them with her smile. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
Another round of loud gasps sounded.
What the hell was that?
Most had the impression that female celebrities who became pregnant would become less desirable because they now had the permanent label of being mothers. Regardless of their age, celebrity mothers would always seem more mature than those who had never been pregnant before.
Then could someone explain why in the world did Iris Long look even more beautiful now that she was pregnant?
She seemed to be glowing from the inside. The big belly she was carrying didn't appear to detract from her beauty but added, no, multiplied it instead.
All the attention was on the newly arrived wife and husband. Iris Long smiled and waved while Jin Liwei focused on supporting and protecting his wife. Their private bodyguards hovered around the couple at an appropriate distance.
Before the reporters could hound the couple, Iris pulled Jin Liwei to where the suited Black Stars had been waiting for her arrival.
As soon as she came near, the Black Stars immediately formed a protective block around the other fans to prevent people from trying to grab their Boss Iris from the other side of the barricade. The true Black Stars didn't need to be told a second time on how to behave. Their Boss Iris' safety and wellbeing would always be their priority over their personal excitement and desire to touch her.
Fortunately for them, Iris personally went over and even shook their hands. She greeted Zhou Mei'er, Ming Li, Father Ming and the other Black Stars who she recognized.
Even though her fans were over the moon, they still took care not to act overenthusiastic lest they stressed their pregnant Boss Iris.
"Congratulations, Boss and CEO Jin!"
"I wish for you to give birth to a healthy, fat baby."
"Please take care of yourself, Boss Iris. Don't tire yourself out."
Iris thanked them with a sincere smile while Jin Liwei acknowledged their words with a nod.
"Please hurry and go inside, Boss Iris. It's getting colder."
"CEO Jin, please don't let Boss Iris stay outside for too long. She just recovered from a cold."
"Don't worry about us and go inside where it's warm. It's not safe for the baby if you get sick again."
Unlike other fans who begged their favourite stars to stay with them a little longer, the Black Stars were almost shooing their Boss Iris away for the sake of her health and her baby.
Jin Liwei nodded at the Black Stars again. This time, he even gave them a brief smile before leading his wife away.
Waiting for them was the trio of Jin Chonglin, JJ and DJ Song.
Dominic Chua also found them at last after arriving earlier before the official red carpet event started to confirm all the necessary safety arrangements for the pregnant Iris with the organizers.
"Ready?" Iris whispered to her husband.
"En." Jin Liwei smiled at his wife.
Together, they faced the barrage of questions from the reporters.
This was it.
Their official revelation of Iris' pregnancy to the whole world.
Jin Liwei had never looked so proud in his life.
Even a superstar like his younger brother, Jin Chonglin, couldn't steal the attention away from them now.
"Iris Long, is the reason why you rarely made any public appearances in the past few months due to your pregnancy?"
Iris nodded. "That's right. My pregnancy symptoms made it difficult for me to function normally so I couldn't work as much as I wanted."
"How far along are you?"
"Have you been pregnant before your wedding with CEO Jin?"
"CEO Jin, did you only marry Iris Long because she became pregnant?"
Jin Liwei's proud expression turned dark in an instant.
