The whole nation seemed to be on the look-out for any update concerning the new little addition to the Jin family.
About a month ago, a week after celebrity Iris Long gave birth, both LXC Studio and Jin Corporation released brief official announcements about the happy event.
The official announcements only mentioned the date and time that Iris Long had given birth at home. No other information was included, not even the gender of the child.
The media swarmed both companies in the hopes of getting more details. Unfortunately for them, the new parents, Iris Long and Jin Liwei maintained their silence.
How stingy!
Despite this, the Black Stars showered their Boss Iris with sincere congratulations. Unlike the pesky media, they remained patient in waiting for their Boss Iris and her husband to provide additional updates of their own accord.
It hadn't been easy for Jin Chonglin either. As the younger brother of CEO Jin Liwei and the brother-in-law of Iris Long, he found himself being hounded by reporters and paparazzi asking him about his new niece or nephew. Of course, he didn't reveal anything.
He released a sigh of relief when he finally managed to escape the troublesome reporters and paparazzi and enter the doors of LXC Studio.
"You've worked hard," his manager, Lin Dong, told him.
He ran his hand through his hair. His movements was so sexy that some of the staff and talent recruits in the lobby couldn't stop themselves from squealing.
"Good morning, everyone!" He winked and flashed them with his famous killer smile.
"Kyaaaaaaah!"
"Good morning, Boss Lin Lin!"
"Prince Lin Lin, you're handsome again today as always!"
Jin Chonglin's smile disappeared when the elevator door closed, leaving him and Lin Dong alone inside. It was still morning but he already felt tired.
"Bear with it for a little longer," Lin Dong said. "Manager Tang assured me that Iris and your brother will release a new update soon."
Jin Chonglin sighed and massaged his forehead. "I'm not complaining. The twins are my nephews, you know. I should also do my job as their uncle to protect their privacy. This is nothing. I'm the superstar Jin Chonglin. This prince is already used to this."
Lin Dong patted his shoulder.
The elevator door opened. They headed to Jin Chonglin's office.
After a productive workday, Jin Chonglin told his driver to head straight to Dragon Palace. He had been visiting his twin nephews whenever he had free time which wasn't that often due to his busy schedule.
He drifted off to sleep during the ride. Then he was startled awake by his assistant's loud exclamation.
"What happened?" he asked, annoyed at being disturbed.
"Oops, sorry! Please continue sleeping. I'll be quiet, promise!" His assistant zipped his mouth but continued scrolling on his phone.
Curious, Jin Chonglin stretched out his hand. His assistant didn't hesitate and gave Jin Chonglin the phone.
The assistant chattered away in excitement. "Iris and CEO Jin finally released a new update about their twins! Oooooh! Their tiny hands are so adorbs!"
Jin Chonglin scrolled on the phone and read the new post on Iris' social media account.
It was a single photo showing Iris and Jin Liwei's fingers with their wedding rings visible being grabbed by two little hands. It was clear that the two little hands belonged to two different babies.
The photo had a caption saying: "One love, twice the blessings. Mommy and Daddy love you, Little Mochi and Little Matcha."
"What the hell, Big Bro?" Jin Chonglin muttered. "Why didn't you stop your wife from revealing my nephews' ridiculous nicknames?"
"I think the nicknames Mochi and Matcha are adorbs," his assistant commented.
"You're crazy." Although Jin Chonglin said this, he was already liking the post.
He tossed the phone back to his assistant before fishing out his own phone. Then he liked the post again using his official verified account.
His action pushed the post to the top of the trending lists in no time.
He even reposted it with the caption: "Hugs from a proud uncle."
There was a new notification. He clicked on it and found out that his brother, Jin Liwei, posted a big online raffle give-away to celebrate the birth of his twin sons.
Jin Chonglin shared it again to his own followers. Other celebrities followed suit. Within a few minutes, CEO Jin Liwei's big raffle give-away was shared multiple times by the biggest figures in showbiz and the business industry.
Then Jin Chonglin had an idea. He announced that he would be adding to the give-away prizes. As a result, the online give-away spread faster and wider like wildfire.
To everyone's shock and delight, several other bigshots surfaced and followed his example of adding to the prize pool, making the online give-away even more impressive than before.
