Chapter 1282 - Make A Baby

Jin Chonglin also sent the reporters a cold look before following his brother and sister-in-law. He also wanted to give the reporters a piece of his mind but his manager, Lin Dong, stopped him. Lin Dong came with Dom and Iris' manager, Tang Yiyi.

With cold eyes, Jin Chonglin remembered each and every face of the disrespectful reporters. He would blacklist them from all events hosted by LXC Studio in the future. There were plenty of other reporters who didn't need to resort to this kind of offensive tactics to do their jobs and still generate wide interest from the public. He would tell everyone at LXC Studio that they didn't need to entertain any reporters who had no morals.

Unlike Jin Chonglin who had his manager to stop him, JJ didn't give a damn as he lambasted the reporters to their faces for treating his protg that way.

The music producer was infamous for his horrible temper. Everyone in the industry knew this.

His close friend, DJ Song, pretended to stop him but those with keen eyes knew that the radio host and music critic was also displeased at how the reporters treated Iris Long just now. It wouldn't be a surprise if DJ Song criticized the reporters' behaviour in the next episode of his radio program.

Inside the auditorium, the organizers led Iris, Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin to their seats at the front row. Dom and the two managers were seated in a different section while the bodyguards had their own area with the event's staff.

The other already seated celebrities who had no idea of what transpired outside the red carpet looked shocked upon seeing the very pregnant Iris Long.

All Pandemonium membersBlaze, Eros, Night and Thunderleft their seats in the middle row to greet Iris' group. As the first artists to sign a contract with LXC Studio, the Pandemonium members now had to call Iris, Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin as their bosses. Of course, they were also some of the first ones to discover Iris' pregnancy when she came to attend meetings at LXC Studio.

Ever since they experienced working with Iris on the critically acclaimed

"Monster of

Insanity", they learned a lot from her and managed to improve their techniques and overall sense of musicality.

"Monster of Insanity"

had opened a new door for them. They were no longer constrained in the limited world of rock music. They were now willing to experiment and try incorporating various other genres into their music.

Their skills were still far from Iris Long's level so their creative experimentations often failed, but whenever they succeeded, the feeling was unbeatable. They wanted to experience this sweet feeling again and again.

Now that they were LXC Studio artists, they had more creative freedom. Their motivation was at an all-time high.

"I'm looking forward to your performance later," Iris told them.

"Thanks, Boss Iris!"

She chuckled and wished them good luck.

Finally settled in their seats, Jin Liwei focused on making sure that his wife was comfortable. If not for her firm protest, he would have already knelt down in front of her to massage her tired feet despite being in public.

It didn't take long for the show to finally start.

"Welcome to the Harmony Music Awards!"

The male and female hosts hyped the crowd with their opening words. Then the camera focused on Iris Long and Jin Liwei. The two hosts directly addressed the couple. It seemed that the organizers added this part of the opening at the last minute.

"It seems that congratulations are in order for my favourite power couple."

"Indeed! Our sincerest congrats to Iris Long and CEO Jin. We hope that you give birth to a healthy and fat baby!"

Iris smiled at them before waving at the camera. Even the usually cold Jin Liwei had a subtle smile on his lips.

The female host asked Jin Chonglin next, "Prince Lin Lin, are you excited to be an uncle?"

A squatting staff pushed a mic to him. "Of course. I'll definitely dote on my niece or nephew as if he or she is my own kid."

"What do you say about that, CEO Jin?" the male host asked.

The mic was pushed towards Jin Liwei who replied while looking at his younger brother, "I already told you, make your own baby!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

The entire auditorium erupted into squeals and laughter.

"Make a baby! Make a baby! Make a baby!"

Everyone started chanting these words to make fun of Jin Chonglin. For his part, he took everything in stride and gave everyone a sheepish version of his killer smile.

Jin Liwei's "make your own baby" to his brother, Jin Chonglin, was quickly made into a meme. It would become one of the most popular meme and catchphrases in the country.

The opening words concluded followed by the night's first performance by a young and promising artist. Iris and Jin Chonglin watched it with interest. As the co-bosses of LXC Studio, they were always on the lookout for talented artists with potential.

Iris had to wear special earphones to decrease the volume of everything around her. Beside her, Jin Liwei didn't care about the performances at all. His entire focus was on his wife. He made sure to check on her every few seconds or so.

Afterwards, the first set of Golden Trebles were awarded to the winners. After another couple of performances, it was time to announce the People's Choice Award for the Most Popular Male and Female Artists.

Unlike the other winners which were carefully chosen by the music awards selection body, the winners for the People's Choice Awards were determined via fan voting.

Iris Long and Jin Chonglin won these last year. They were on the running again this year.

Jin Chonglin had always won this award for many consecutive years now. This year, he had another large lead from the second place. Even without the announcement, people were already certain that he would win once again.

That was for later, though.

The People's Choice for Most Popular Female Artist would be up before the male one.

Who would it be?

People glanced at the pregnant Iris Long.

Would it be her again?
