Chapter 1488 y the Female Lead
Gravy had also returned home alive but with a limp. Little Jun was so happy to have his dog back that he cried. He didn''t mind that Gravy was now a handicapped dog. The little guy dered to everyone that Gravy was a superhero who saved him just like his Uncle Haohao.
The Lu twins, Little Misha and Little Dima, got fatter again. Their milk consumption was monstrous. They already finished all the avable frozen breastmilk of their Aunt Xin which was their favourite. Their father, Lu Zihao, was hoping that they would start losing weight after their aunt''s breastmilk ran out, but the opposite happened. They actually got fatter while consuming pure form milk.
"Won''t they be obese at this rate?" Meimei asked in concern.
Iris was also concerned about it. "Big Sister Jinjing ns to reduce their milk intake but Grandpa Lu says not to worry about it too much. He showed us photos of Big Brother Zihao when he was a baby and he was fatter than the twins."
"Really?" Meimeiughed out loud. "I want to see his baby pictures, too! Ugh. I''m so sad that I missed out on so many things. I also haven''t chatted with Dom for a while because he says that he''s also very busy."
Iris: "Yes, Dom is very busy organizing my schedule and running errands for me and my businesses, especially now that I''m in the middle of recording my new album."
Meimei: "Ah, so that''s why. Dom is my main source of gossip but now that he''s too busy, I''m so behind everything!"
Iris: "It''s fine. Once LXC Studio obtains the IP adaptation rights for your webtoon, we''ll be closely working together by then."
Meimei: "Oh, right! I almost forgot!"
Iris: "What is it?"
Meimei: "Did I already tell you that I based my female lead on you?"
Iris: "Yes, you already told me that a long time ago."
Meimei: "So…uhm, do you think you can y the female lead in the adaptation?"
Iris was genuinely surprised. Sheughed but Meimei''s silence made her realize that her friend was serious.
"Meimei, I''m a musician, not an actress," Iris said, her tone turning serious.
"I know, but I really want you to y the female lead," Meimei said in an equally serious tone.
Both of them fell silent.
In the end, Iris could only say, "Let me think about it first, okay?"
"Okay!" Meimei regained her enthusiasm. "Don''t worry, I''m not pressuring you. But think about it. I based the female lead on you, so if you decide to y the character, don''t you think that it''s basically just ying a version of yourself? Well, yes, the female lead has a dark side that is quite scary, but I think you can handle it. For the most part, the female lead is charismatic and straightforward like you. Just take acting lessons again if you''re still feeling unsure especially when ying the female lead''s dark side. To be honest, I can''t imagine anyone ying the female lead besides you. I''ve written and drawn the webtoon for so long that my image of the female lead has already been cemented based on you."
Iris: "LXC Studio is nning to sign Yin Meixing. She''s a great actress. Why don''t you let her y the female lead?"
Meimei: "Really? You''re signing her? I love her as the mother in ''Strong Yet Broken''. I would also love for her to act in the adaptation for my webtoon but I don''t think she''s suitable as the female lead. She''s a great actress, but please excuse my rudeness, her visual impact is not very strong especially whenpared to someone like you. My female lead has to be visually stunning that she can make people speechless just from her beauty alone."
Iris: "Fine, I''ll think about it."
Meimei: "Yay!"
Iris: "But don''t get your hopes up. I already told you that I''m not an actress. Even my previous acting coach criticized my acting skills." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Meimei: "That''s okay. If you can''t really do it, then I''ll trust LXC Studio to find a suitable recement. But I still have the final say! I want to include that use in the contract."
Iris: "Okay."
The friends chatted for a few more minutes before ending the phone call.
Iris sighed and massaged her forehead. Jin Liwei took over. Heid her down on hisp and massaged her head, earning a contented moan from her.
"I think you can do it," Jin Liwei said all of a sudden.
"You think so?" she asked.
"Have you read the webtoon?"
"Of course."
"I also read it," he said.
She raised an eyebrow. "You? Really?"
He sighed. "Ketchup loves it. She and Dom apparently always read thetest updates together. Then Ketchup shares her opinions about the chapters with me at work."
Irisughed.
An adorable child''s voice interjected, "The cute and mighty Ketchup loves Auntie Meimei''s webtoon, Mommy! It''s super-duper to the highest level exciting! Ketchup also loves discussing thetest chapters with my daddy. Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"En."
Jin Liwei agreed even though he couldn''t really call it a discussion. It was more like Ketchup''s one-sided fan-girling monologue than an open discussion between the two of them.
Sometimes, he would listen, but more often than not, he would let his cat AI daughter gush about the webtoon while he continued working in his office. But even when he wasn''t actively listening, he would still catch up on the most important plot points and the most thrilling scenes thanks to Ketchup''s nonstop excitement.
This was how Jin Liwei became more updated about Meimei''s webtoon than his wife.
Iris couldn''t help butugh louder in amusement. As for her, she would read the webtoon now and then, but it wasn''t really a priority for her.
To be honest, she only read the beginning chapters which was already a long time ago. She would intermittently check thetest updates but because she hadn''t been following the story, she would always feel lost about what happened in between.
Now that Meimei expressed her hope for her to y the female lead, Iris decided that it was time to read the entire webtoon from the beginning to thetest chapters.
