His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 929: Absolute Privacy

By the time the newlyweds boarded the private jet, Iris became overcome by drowsiness. She wanted to spend more time chatting with her husband but could barely keep her eyes open.

"Take a nap, love. I'll wake you up when we arrive at our destination." Jin Liwei kissed her forehead after helping her put her seatbelt on before taking the seat right next to her. 

She sighed before nodding. It was no use trying to fight off sleep when her body was craving for it so badly. Before the private jet could lift off, she was already fast asleep. 

Jin Liwei covered her with a fluffy blanket and pulled her into his arms so that she was lying on his chest. She didn't stir even with all the movement. Before long, he also fell asleep.

In the end, it was only the private doctor and the staff and security personnel who came with them that got to enjoy the first-class treatment of the flight. Both Iris and Jin Liwei slept through the entire duration of the flight.

After about three hours, they finally touched down at a small airport that barely had any buildings. The blue ocean could be seen at a distance. On the other side were mountains and forests. 

Jin Liwei woke up right away with just a single tap from the male flight attendant. Iris, however, was still in deep sleep. Jin Liwei didn't want to wake her up so soon, so some of the staff disembarked earlier to scope out the surroundings while the others stayed with the newlyweds in the plane until Iris woke up naturally. They were the only jet that was scheduled to land that day so there was no problem of them overstaying at the small airport. Fortunately, Iris woke up half an hour later.

She was still groggy and wanted to sleep longer but immediately urged everyone to disembark upon realizing that they already landed some time ago.

"You should've woken me up," she told Jin Liwei.

He only smiled at her. "It's alright, love. Don't worry about it. It's our honeymoon. We can do whatever we want."

She had no energy to argue with him so she only nodded and drowsily followed him down the private jet to the waiting off-road vehicle. They were in the Southern part of the country. Unlike at home, the weather was nice and tropical here. All of them removed their jackets, leaving only the light short-sleeved clothing underneath. 

Only the major roads were paved in this place. The less travelled paths were made of dirt and sometimes gravel. Therefore, it was quite a bumpy ride.

Jin Liwei frowned and scolded his subordinates who were sitting in the front seats of the vehicle. "None of you checked that the roads would be this bumpy before we made the travel arrangements here?"

"Apologies, Master."

Iris patted his arm. "It's fine, darling. This is nothing."

He still looked displeased. "Let me know if you're feeling unwell. We'll stop."

She nodded and continued looking out of the window. The view outside was relaxing. All around them was nature. They passed by some small towns with rural houses and buildings. This place had a charm that the modern bustling cities at home lacked. If not for Jin Liwei worrying about her inhaling too much dust, she would love to open the windows and let the fresh air inside the vehicle. He was right, though. The huge wheels of their convoy of off-road vehicles were kicking up a storm of dust in the air as they travelled down the dirt roads.

About fifteen minutes later, they entered a gated property where several helicopters were waiting for them. They transferred to the helicopters and flew to their final destination, a small private island.

The helicopter that Iris and Jin Liwei were riding touched down first on the wooden helipad connected to a boat dock on the beach. The cool, salty ocean breeze welcomed them. Iris closed her eyes and took a deep inhale.

"Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Jin!" the island's caretaker greeted them. 

Jin Liwei's usual cold and indifferent expression was nowhere to be seen as he grinned upon hearing others refer to his wife as Mrs. Jin. Iris was also all smiles as she received a colourful bouquet of flowers and a cool glass of fresh non-alcoholic fruit punch from the staff. Her earlier drowsiness was now completely gone, replaced by excitement at the thought of enjoying her honeymoon with her husband in this beautiful tropical paradise away from prying eyes. 

"Boss Iris, you're so much more beautiful in person than on TV," one of the staff commented in awe, revealing her identity as a Black Star. She looked like a teenager.

The caretaker glared at her. The girl realized her mistake and immediately apologized to Iris and Jin Liwei.

"Please excuse my niece's unprofessional behaviour!" the caretaker also apologized. "She's still young and hasn't fully absorbed all her training yet."

"It's fine," Iris said, smiling at the girl. She always cared about her loyal fans, the Black Stars. "Don't scold her too much."

"Yes, Young Madam! We thank you for your benevolence!"

"Yes, thank you, Boss Iris!"

"Call her Young Madam!"

"Young Madam!"

Iris couldn't help but chuckle. Then she patted the teenage girl's shoulder. "Thank you for your support."

The teenager looked like she was about to faint from too much happiness and excitement as she nodded repeatedly like a woodpecker.

"And don't cause your uncle too much trouble."

"Yes, Boss Iris—I mean, Young Madam!"

Jin Liwei wrapped his arm around Iris' waist. His grin was now gone, replaced by a stern expression. "My wife and I expect absolute privacy during our stay here. That means that no news about us, especially about my wife, should be shared to the outside world. Understood?"

The teenage girl shivered in fright at Jin Liwei's intimidating gaze.

"Certainly, sir!" the caretaker assured him. "Please don't worry. All members of my staff here are very discrete!"

"Good."

Iris sighed at her husband frightening her young fan. Despite this, she had no intention of stopping him because they indeed needed absolute privacy.
