Chapter 1531 Iris Long and Jin Chonglin’s Duet (Part II)

Jin Chonglin started singing. He sang the song in the original language. There was no need to translate the song into English because it had already become popular in the original language even among the international audience.

His voice flowed like sweet caramel while he looked at his girlfriend in the audience.

"Walking down the town of life

I caught a glimpse of you

Your beautiful self

Making even the flowers smile back"

Iris sang next. Her soft voice was like an angel's feathers caressing the audience's hearts. She looked at her husband waiting for her below the stage.

"Smitten I followed you around

Not expecting anything in return

But you always knew

So your shining eyes saw me"

Jin Chonglin took over the song.

"Time stopped in that moment

The sun paled in your presence"

Iris followed naturally.

"Birdsong filled the air

As you chose me"

The instruments harmonized together, creating a heart-tugging melody with a slow, emotional tempo. Jin Chonglin's guitar provided sensuality while Iris' piano evoked romantic memories.

Then they began singing together, their voices harmonizing in a way that made the listeners sigh with deep emotions. Jin Chonglin added a growl to his singing while Iris' voice soared.

"Smitten I had followed you around

Not expecting anything in return

But you always knew

So your shining eyes saw me"

Iris' fingers danced over the piano keys, not missing a beat even as she closed her eyes while singing. When she opened her eyes, her sight never left her husband. She sang the next verse by herself, expressing her deep love to the man waiting for her below the stage. Her voice was high, light, and effortless.

"As I'm singing I look into your eyes

And know you see me like I do you

Even as we grow old I never forget

The man that saw me that day"

Next, Jin Chonglin stopped playing the guitar. The other instruments also paused. Only his deep, saccharine voice could be heard.

"Smitten I had followed you around

Not expecting anything in return"

Iris sang the next lines.

"But you always knew

So you gave me all I could ever want"

Then she played the piano again. Jin Chonglin followed suit with his acoustic guitar along with the other instruments.

Iris and Jin Chonglin sang together.

"I got you~"

The ending was soft and lingering, just like a love that continued to endure throughout a lifetime.

There was a couple of seconds of pure silence. Then the loud applause resounded in the venue.

Iris stood up from her seat in front of the piano. Jin Chonglin held out a hand. She took it.

Together, they bowed down to the audience—Jin Chonglin with a deep bow and Iris with her signature curtsy bow. They also bowed to the band again, sharing the applause and cheers with the musicians.

Among the audience, many couldn't help but marvel at Madame Iris Long's skills and talents. She wasn't overshadowed by Jin Chonglin, a superstar, at all. She held her own and even outperformed him especially when it came to vocal prowess.

There were some parts during the performance where Jin Chonglin's voice became shaky which was expected for live performances.

But there was Iris Long who stood out for her solid, studio-quality performance. Her singing was stable all throughout. Her lung capacity was impressive and so was her piano skills. She barely looked at her hands while playing the piano, focusing instead on conveying the emotions of the song to the audience.

The comparison was enough proof that Iris Long indeed had the talent. She could keep up with a superstar and even outshine him in some parts of the performance.

The band of musicians keenly noticed this point, and so did the guests who had an ear for music. But for most of the audience, this wasn't that big of an issue. The most important thing was enjoying the performance.

Iris spoke to the mic. "Please give Jin Chonglin another round of big applause!"

The audience followed her. Jin Chonglin preened and waved, making plenty of ladies and ladies at heart swoon from his killer smile.

"Now I'll leave the stage for my brother-in-law," Iris said. "Please enjoy!"

With that, she walked down the stage with the help of her husband. Jin Liwei kissed her forehead, whispering sweet praises in her ear.

The husband and wife returned to their table amidst the guests' admiration.

Jin Chonglin took over the stage. This time, he prepared a set of solo pieces for the audience. He even brought a couple of backup dancers to the delight of everyone.

With no Iris Long outperforming him when it came to vocal skills, Jin Chonglin was able to showcase his electrifying stage presence without any limitations, reminding everyone why he was a superstar.

Iris enjoyed his performance, singing along with Jin Chonglin, and even dancing in her seat. Many of the audience members were also the same.

Jin Liwei, however, was more focused on making sure that his wife was comfortable than on his younger brother's performance on the stage. He would pour her drinks, massage her hands, fan her when she sweated, and so many other little acts of service that caused other wives/girlfriends/lovers watching to feel extremely envious.

After Jin Chonglin's energetic performance, everyone took a short break. They also sweated a lot even though they weren't the ones performing on the stage.

Then the party entered another casual mode where the guests walked around to interact with each other. It was another opportunity to network.

Ashandra Knightson approached Iris and Jin Liwei. "I had so much fun today, but I must leave now because I have a meeting for my art exhibition."

"Of course, Ashandra." Iris hugged her friend. "Thank you so much for coming. I'll definitely come to support your art exhibition in a few days."

The friends bid each other goodbye.

Then the French magnate and his wife approached Iris and Jin Liwei next.

Jin Liwei's eyes turned cold.

Iris remained polite, but there was indifference in her tone.
