Chapter 1398 Mrs. Superstar
Meet my girlfriend, Boss Chen Fei of Orchidia.
It was short and simple yet caused a ma.s.sive explosion among his fans and the media.
A few seconds later, Chen Fei liked and shared his post using her own verified account. Then she wrote the following caption:
Meet my boyfriend, endorser of Orchidia Beautys mens line, Jin Chonglin.
Even in a situation like this, she didnt forget to use Jin Chonglin to advertise Orchidia.
Within a few hours, both of their posts received millions of likes and comments. Their relations.h.i.+p also reached the top in the trending lists.
Chen Feis followers also increased at a frightening rate. She kept on monitoring the public opinion about her. She couldnt help it.
Although there were still a lot of bashers, most of Jin Chonglins fans were supportive of his relations.h.i.+p with Chen Fei. It was just like what he told her yesterday. The majority of people had no choice but to accept the reality especially if it was what he chose for himself.
The sudden change in public opinion into a more positive direction made Chen Fei release a big sigh of relief. They couldnt please everyone but at least the bas.h.i.+ng had reduced a lot compared to last night.
Truth be told, she hadnt expected for Jin Chonglins plan to be this effective.
Not bad, she mumbled.
Jin Chonglin had already left earlier. He was a busy man. As soon as they made their posts in the morning, he didnt stay around in her office and rushed to a taping.
Her family and friends kept on calling her. Even some of her former cla.s.smates, not-so-close acquaintances and ex-friends were messaging her nonstop to ask if it was true that she was Jin Chonglins girlfriend.
The girl squad already knew about her pretend relations.h.i.+p with Jin Chonglin beforehand because she shared it in their group chat last night.
Although her friends had reservations about it, they still supported her because it was her own decision at the end of the day. Jin Chonglin didnt force her. She was the one who agreed.
Her parents also called her. She had no choice but to promise them to bring Jin Chonglin for an official introduction. There was no way that she was going to admit to her own parents that she agreed to be in a fake relations.h.i.+p. She might be cra.s.s in front of other people but would turn into a sweet little girl in front of her strict parents.
Knock! Knock!
Come in.
Her a.s.sistant entered her office.
Congratulations on your relations.h.i.+p with PrinceI mean Jin Chonglin, COO Chen!
Chen Fei scowled. This is the third time that you congratulated me. Will you stop it now?
The a.s.sistant giggled before becoming serious. Our security reported a crowd of paparazzi outside our building. President Long sent a team of bodyguards to protect you. They arrived just now.
Chen Fei was worried at first but immediately felt relieved after learning that Iris sent a bodyguard team for her. She knew the skill levels of the guards at Dragon Palace Palace Home #10. They were elites. Even Jiang Ying Yue had grown so much more intimidating since she started working there.
Her a.s.sistant added, Jin Chonglin also left a bodyguard to protect you. It seems that he already antic.i.p.ated this outcome with the paparazzi.
Hmph!
Although Chen Fei acted like this, she still felt touched by the mans thoughtfulness. She would never admit it to him, though. What if he became even more pompous?
She wouldnt be able to bear it! If he became even more narcissistic than he already was, she might really end up beating him one day out of annoyance.

Dragon Palace Home #10.
Well, h.e.l.lo there, Mrs. Superstar! Dom greeted Chen Fei as soon as she arrived at the nursery later that day.
She kicked towards his direction. They were too far apart so of course there was no chance of her actually hitting him. It was just a symbolic kick.
Hehehe. Dom waggled his eyebrows while s.h.i.+mmying his body.
Iris chuckled. She was sitting on the carpet with her twins.
Long Jinjing also smiled at her best friend. She was on the rocking chair bottle-feeding Little Dima. Her other son, Little Misha, just finished being fed and was entertaining himself in the crib.
Chen Fei ignored their meaningful gazes and greeted each of the four babies and the grumpy Ice Cream. She brought presents for them as well. Little Jun and the cats also had a share. She would give it to them later. For now, she needed to talk with her friends and hopefully feel better about everything that was happening to her and Jin Chonglin.
Wheres Sis Yue? she asked while bouncing Little Mochi on her lap.
On duty, Iris replied. Little Matcha was snuggling up to her on the carpet.
Sobe honest with me. What do you think about my fake relations.h.i.+p with Jin Chonglin? I want your honest opinions, okay?
Why fake relations.h.i.+p? Dom asked in a mischievous tone. Just make it real!
Shshush, Dom!
Chen Fei almost said Shut up, Dom but managed to change her words in time. She was still conscious that there were kids in the room. She didnt want to be blamed for corrupting her friends children.
The friends chatted for a while. Later, Jiang Ying Yue also arrived after her s.h.i.+ft. She brought Little Jun, Popcorn and Gravy with her.
Lin Yehan isnt with you? Chen Fei teased her.
Jiang Ying Yue blushed but her smile was filled with happiness and sweetness. Yehan already dropped by earlier this morning. Hes a little busy these days but we still see each other almost every day. If we cant meet, then we talk on the phone.
Ugh! I think Im having a diabetes attack. Chen Fei pretended to shudder.
I would tease you, too, but your relations.h.i.+p is fake, Jiang Ying Yue said.
Of course, its fake. Theres no way in h.e.l.l that Ill be in a relations.h.i.+p with Jin Chonglin. Never!
Everyone raised their eyebrows at her.
What? Why are you all looking at me like that?
Long Jinjing pouted at her. Never say never, Xiaofei. I also thought that Ill never marry Lu Zihao but look at me now. I even gave birth to his children.
Iris nodded. Same here. I also never thought that Ill fall in love with Jin Liwei. I border-line hated him before but now I love him the most.
Jiang Ying Yue agreed with them. I also didnt think that I would be in a relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yehan especially afteryou all know about what I went through with my ex.
Dom released an exaggerated sigh before clutching his French-manicured hands together in a prayer position. I wish that I could say the same as all of you. Dear future lover, when will you come and sweep me off my feet? I also want a happy ever after!
Little Mochi laughed at his Uncle Doms dramatic gestures while Chen Fei rolled her eyes.
Her friends reminder about how they fell in love with their men made her stop saying never. She still didnt think that she would ever become true lovers with Jin Chonglin, though. She just didnt want to jinx herself.
Fine, since you asked for our honest opinion, then Ill give it to you, Iris said.
Chen Fei straightened her back. Im ready.
I think that its incredibly stupid to pretend to be in a relations.h.i.+p with anyone. If you want to deceive other people, then you must act against your true feelings.
Both Dom and Jiang Ying Yue nodded. Only Long Jinjing didnt. The others didnt think much about it because she was Chen Feis best friend in the first place. They thought that she was just sticking to her best friend through thick and thin. n.o.body noticed her slightly embarra.s.sed (and guilty) expression.
Iris continued, But if you already have some feelings for the other person, then youre not only deceiving other people but also yourself.
Chen Fei became defensive in an instant. h.e.l.l no! Me? Have feelings for that womanizer? Impossible.
Iris shrugged.
Lets not talk about Jin Chonglin anymore, Chen Fei said, annoyed.
Youre the one who wanted to talk about him in the first place, Iris replied in an amused tone.
Yeah! Dom piped in. Youre the one who asked for our honest opinions.
Long Jinjing and Jiang Ying Yue stayed quiet but their teasing smiles were enough to embarra.s.s Chen Fei. They continued teasing her for a few more minutes before stopping.
Chen Fei was relieved. Then she changed the topic to business.
The national shooting team finally agreed to accept our endors.e.m.e.nt offer. How do you want to go on about it?
Iris carried the sleepy Little Matcha back to the crib. Ren Jiyu will endorse the regular mens line that were planning to launch soon.
That diva man will be upset, Chen Fei muttered.
Iris raised an eyebrow. Chen Fei wanted them to stop talking about Jin Chonglin and yet here she was mentioning him again.
Brother Chonglin will continue endorsing his own line, Iris said. His line is a special one. We also need to have a regular line of mens product. Ren Jiyu will be perfect for that. Hes young and a great source of inspiration. Well tap the teenage market through him.
