His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 420 - Confidently Beautiful

Chapter 420 - Confidently Beautiful

Later that evening, Iris, Jin Liwei and the siblings Dom and Clover were finally back home from work. They all came home at different times.

Iris and Dom came from an endorsement event. Clover arrived by herself shortly after them from Orchidia Beauty. Jin Liwei came home almost an hour later after them.

He was currently busy at Jin Corporation because their Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) would be retiring soon. The shareholders had already chosen the next CMO but the person was coming from their Singapore branch. Since it was an important executive position, Jin Liwei wanted to ensure that the transfer of responsibilities to the new person would be as smooth as possible, so as not to affect their business.

At the moment, they were all relaxing in the living area while watching the evening news.

Iris was massaging Jin Liwei’s back because he looked so tired. Dom was near her, coaching her on what to do while using his sister Clover as his practice dummy to demonstrate to Iris how to massage correctly.

Of course, Jin Liwei felt like he was in seventh heaven while receiving his baby girl’s tender loving care. He didn’t know what got into her, but she had been putting a lot more effort lately into showing her love for him.

It wasn’t just the boxed lunches that she kept on sending to his office. She also started sending him sweet-nothings on her own accord, which she never bothered to do before if he didn’t initiate it. Just a simple "I love you" or "I miss you" via text message from her was already enough to put him in a great mood for the entire workday.

They were interrupted by Little Jun who ran straight at them after chasing Popcorn. Of course, the lazy Ice Cream was taking a nap on top of the couch’s backrest.

"Mama! Junjun too!" the toddler demanded, showing Iris his back.

"Kyaaaaah! So cute, Junie boy!" Dom exclaimed.

Clover already whipped out her phone and started recording Little Jun’s antics on video.

Iris smiled. "You want a massage, too?"

"Yesh! Junjun too!"

She chuckled. "But I’m massaging Papa first. Little Jun, you have to wait for your turn after I’m finished with your Papa. Okay?"

Little Jun looked at Iris and then at Jin Liwei. "Papa? Not Junjun?"

"Yes, Papa first," Iris confirmed with a nod.

Little Jun looked sad and even teary.

"Little Jun, a great man is patient and disciplined," Jin Liwei told the toddler, his expression and voice serious. "And don’t cry so easily. Your Mama is only telling you to wait. Be good and wait until it’s your turn."

Of course, Jin Liwei wasn’t in such a rush to give up his position even to his own cute godson. He wanted to savour his baby girl’s loving ministrations for as long as he could.

Fortunately, Little Jun seemed like he somewhat understood what they meant. He busied himself playing with Popcorn again while waiting for his turn after his papa.

"Oooooh! I’m so hungry!" Dom complained for the fiftieth time.

"Big Sis Yue and Madam are coming home soon. We can eat as soon as they arrive," Clover told him.

While Dom continued to complain to his sister, Iris finished massaging Jin Liwei. She kissed his nape before calling for Little Jun. Of course, the toddler excitedly squeezed himself between his mama and papa. Jin Liwei could only sigh as he was basically pushed out by his own godson.

Iris didn’t really massage Little Jun. She just played with him, tickling him until the toddler’s loud giggles filled the place. Jin Liwei joined in the tickling game.

"Ah, they look like the perfect happy family," Clover commented while taking pictures of the beautiful scene in front of her.

"I know, right? I can’t wait for boss and sir boss to have their own babies! I’m sure they’re going to be so cute~ Ehehehe," Dom replied.

They were interrupted by the sound of the elevator ping. The elevator door opened and Wei Lan, carrying a mini shopping bag, strutted out.

"Oh! Finally, we can eat dinner!" Dom exclaimed in relief.

"Little Jun, your mommy is here," Clover said.

"Mommi!" Little Jun immediately climbed off the couch and ran past Wei Lan to the figure behind her. "Mommi!"

"Hello, Little Jun. I’m back," Jiang Ying Yue’s voice said.

But then Little Jun suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the unfamiliar woman standing in front of him. He looked at her figure from head to toe and back up again. His expression was utterly confused and uncertain.

"Mo...mmi?"

The elegant and glowing woman smiled awkwardly and crouched in front of Little Jun. "Yes, I’m your mommy."

"Mommi!" Little Jun was finally sure that she was his mother. He threw himself at Jiang Ying Yue and hugged her neck tightly.

Jiang Ying Yue carried her son and stood up.

"Gyah!!! Who are you and what did you do to Big Sis Yue?!!" Dom’s dramatic voice exclaimed.

Clover: "Big Sis Yue, you’re so beautiful! Wow!"

The siblings walked over to admire the almost unrecognizable Jiang Ying Yue.

Unused to such attention, Jiang Ying Yue felt shy and tried to hide behind her son’s small body.

"Stupid girl, I just spent a fortune on you today. Don’t let it go to waste!" Wei Lan snapped upon seeing her timid reaction. "When someone praises you, look at them straight in the eyes and say, ’I knoooooow I’m beautiful. Thank you.’ And if it’s a gorgeous man, add a wink if you want. That’s how to be confident! Okay, let’s practice. Dominic, Clover. Praise her again."

The siblings immediately obeyed.

"So stunning! So sexy!"

"Beautiful Big Sis Yue!"

Jiang Ying Yue instantly turned crimson. She wished the floor could open up and swallow her.

"Mommi so pwetty!" Little Jun suddenly told her with a big smile on his face.

Her eyes widened. "Really? I’m pretty?"

"Yesh! Pwetty!"

"Oh..." Then a lovely smile broke out of her face. "Thank you."

Iris and Jin Liwei walked while holding hands to also take a closer look at Jiang Ying Yue.

"Helloooooooo, honey~ Helloooooo, dear Liwei~"

Wei Lan greeted the two of them after instructing the staff to place all the shopping bags and boxes to her bedroom. Apparently, the ones they were carrying were all for her. The ones for Jiang Ying Yue were still in the car. More staff were called to help transfer them to the unit they had downstairs.

"Mother gave your friend a makeover! What do you think, honeeey? Doesn’t she looooook beautiful? Mother chose her dress herself!" Wei Lan bragged.

"Hmmm." Iris nodded while looking at Jiang Ying Yue. "Not her usual style and a little too over the top, but yes. Ying Yue looks beautiful. Right, darling?"

"En. Beautiful," Jin Liwei replied, but he was looking at his baby girl and not at Jiang Ying Yue.

Wei Lan turned to Jiang Ying Yue with a smug expression. "See! I told yooooouuu! I know what I’m doing because I’m the Queen of Fabulous! Oh, I meant, I’m the Viscountess of Fabulous! But since I’m the viscountess, no one is the queen!"

Jiang Ying Yue put Little Jun down on the floor because he already got bored and wanted to play with his cat cousins again.

"Thank you for today, Madam," she told Wei Lan in a shy but sincere tone. "I...I’ll pay you back for all of the things you bought me..."

Wei Lan scowled. "Don’t insult me by paying me back, stupid girl! This vizcondesa is a philanthropist now! What I did for you is charity because you’re sooooo pitiful!"

Jiang Ying Yue turned even redder at being described as a "charity" case but she still nodded, already getting used to Wei Lan’s poison tongue. Actually, the woman wasn’t that bad. Yes, her words were often too blunt and hurtful but they actually felt empowering as a woman. At least, that was what Jiang Ying Yue was beginning to feel after spending a few hours shopping with Wei Lan.

Shortly after, everyone headed to the dining area for dinner.

Dom almost cried in relief and joy. "Finally! Hallelujah!"

Jiang Ying Yue looked totally different from her usual appearance. Her typical bodyguard outfit was replaced by a little black dress that fitted her like a glove. It was sleeveless and showed off her impressively toned arm muscles. If one looked closely enough, her heavily defined abs could be seen through the dress’ black fabric. However, what the dress highlighted the most were her legs. They looked strong and sexy at the same time. The high heels accentuated her entire legs, but most especially her calf muscles.

It wasn’t only her outfit that was different than usual. Her black frizzy hair was gone. A beautifully blow-dried dark auburn hair made her look like a completely different person. It was straight, shiny and smooth.

Her make-up added more dimensions to her face and made her eyes look bigger and wider. Wei Lan said that they opted for eyelash extensions because she knew that the "stupid girl" would be too lazy to put on fake lashes every single day.

As for her nails, they remained short but were painted a lovely rose champagne colour. Wei Lan apparently insisted for some long, fake nails but Jiang Ying Yue didn’t want to because she might accidently scratch her son.

Overall, Jiang Ying Yue looked like an attractive Amazon warrior princess. Her body alone could already intimidate most regular men because of how strong she looked. It was just that she didn’t look confident of herself.

"Remember this, stupid girl. You’re not doing this for that piece of shit but for yourself! If he continues to treat you like a mere mistress after this, then he’s truuuuuuulyyyy a piece of shit and you should just flush him out of your life," Wei Lan said during dinner.

"Mother, please watch your language. My godson is here," Iris warned Wei Lan but inwardly agreed with her words.

Surprisingly, Jiang Ying Yue nodded at Wei Lan.

"Yes, Madam. This is for myself."

And that was how Wei Lan became Jiang Ying Yue’s mentor on how to become a confidently beautiful woman.
