The Wife Is A Superstar 8

Chapter 1516 Finding His Fiancée for Comfort

Before, Jae was a big fan of V. But maybe because Jae had seen so many of V's lame moments while in the family that he didn't care anymore about V's superstar status.

In addition, Jae's best friend and boss is Jennie. Just being with her almost every day was enough for Jae to learn all the bad things, like not caring about embarrassing a superstar like V.

"Hmph!" V didn't dare to scold either Jennie or Jae.

If he scolded Jennie, then Lisa would chew him out.

If he scolded Jae, then Jennie would chew him out. And because Jennie became involved, then Lisa would still end up chewing him out, too.

No matter how V thought about it, he would be in a lose-lose situation.

These people were bullying him!

He stood up and ran away to find his fiancée for comfort. He had already forgotten that his manager was still on a phone call with him. Poor Sejin had been saying "Hello, hello" but nobody was answering him.

Lisa waited until his wife and her best friend-slash-assistant calmed down and stopped laughing at his brother.

"Happy?" he asked.

"I'm happy for Chaeng and Hyung," Jennie said.

"Me, too!" Jae chimed in. "I watched the video of Prince's proposal so many times. I can't stop laughing. He's usually so cool and choreographed on stage, but he looked like a baby giraffe just learning to walk during the proposal. How could he lose the ring? Hahahaha!"

Jennie chuckled. "It's funny, yes, but it's also sweet."

Jae nodded. "Yes, it's super-duper to the highest level sweet. My younger sis can't stop gushing to me about the surprise proposal, although she's a bit miffed that Prince proposed at Liberté's launch party."

Jennie waved a dismissive hand. "It's fine. Liberté's official grand opening to the public is tomorrow. We can use Hyung's proposal to hype Liberté to the media. He and Chaeng already gave us permission to do so as their apology for disrupting the launch party."

"Don't worry, boss! Clover will handle it. If she doesn't, I'll pull all my sister's hair out and make it into a wig!"

Jennie and Jae chatted for a while before they  dispersed for the night. Jae returned to his bedroom, while the couple went to the courtyard to have some private time alone.

They had already checked their twins earlier and put them to sleep after dinner.

The moon hid behind dark clouds. Even the stars were far and few in between tonight. Even so, Jennie felt like the night sky was bright.

Lisa embraced her. "Congratulations on Liberté's launch, love."

She hugged his waist. "Thank you, hon."

They whispered sweet-nothings to each other before a household staff member interrupted them. Someone dropped off a package for Jennie.

"Madame, the security already cleared it and deemed it safe," the staff member told her.

Lisa took it. The staff member excused himself, leaving the couple alone again.

"Who's it from?" Jennie asked.

"Director Jabar Wilkins," he said.

"Oh." She pulled him to sit. "It should be his project files."

"En."

"Open it, hon."

Lisa tore the packaging. There was nothing fancy in it—just a plain cardboard box.

"He printed everything on paper," Jennie said. "How old school."

The husband and wife skimmed through the files that the American director sent over.

It seemed that Wilkins wasn't lying when he told them that there was basically no progress yet. However, Jennie and Lisa could sense the director's enthusiasm for the project from his written report despite the lack of interest from other investors.

They found that at the bottom of the box was a five-book epic fantasy series set. Jennie abandoned Wilkins' files to check out the novels. Lisa shook his head with a smile and continued reading the files instead.

One hour later, Jennie had already read a significant portion of the first book. She would have wanted to finish it on the same night, but Lisa wouldn't allow her.

"It's late, love. We still have to get up early tomorrow for Liberté's public grand opening."

She sighed, feeling a little reluctant to put down the novel. "This book is really good. Now I understand why Jabar insists on adapting the series into a film franchise."

Lisa trusted his wife's judgment. If she said that the book was interesting, then it must be so even without him personally reading it. "If you really like it, we'll invest in the project."

Her eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes!"

He smiled. "I'll talk to V about it tomorrow. If he's interested, then JLV Studio will help produce it. If not, then we'll invest in it by ourselves and just find a production house to partner with."

"Okay." She nodded. "JLV Studio's prestige will increase if we invest in a Hollywood project. But even if your brother is stupid enough to decline this opportunity, we can still front the project as executive producers ourselves."

"En. Let's go to bed now, love."

The couple held hands and returned inside the house together.

The next day, Lisa woke up his sleeping wife.

Jennie slowly opened her eyes and saw her twin sons smiling at her on the bed.

"Mama!" Levi crawled and threw himself at her.

"Mama." Liam followed his brother, but instead of throwing himself like Levi, he laid his head gently on their mother's thigh instead.

"Good morning, my sweethearts," Jennie greeted her sons with a slightly hoarse voice.

Then she kissed their faces, making them giggle.

Lisa watched his wife and sons showering each other with love. Then he also joined them by sitting on the bed next to his wife and kissing her on the lips.

After eating breakfast together and getting ready, Grandpa arrived with Yin Mei and Alison.

The old man had volunteered to stay with the twins today, so that Jennie, Lisa and the others could attend the public grand opening of Liberté without any worries.
