His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 1420 Not Good At All


Chapter 1420 Not Good At All

Dragon Palace Home #10.

Dom shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth and laughed while pointing at the TV. It was playing a popular variety show. Tonight's guest was Jin Chonglin. "Stop laughing, Dom!" Chen Fei felt annoyed and embarrassed at the same time.

Unfortunately for her, Dom not only didn't stop laughing, but he teased her as well. "I miss you, sweetheart~ I miss you too, honey~ Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

She threw a pillow at him. Iris, Long Jinjing and Jiang Ying Yue chuckled at them. They watched the variety show in amusement.

Normally, they wouldn't watch this show, but they tuned in just for tonight after Chen Fei informed them about it in their girl squad group chat. Meimei was too busy working on her webtoon to come to Dragon Palace and watch the show together with them. Clover was still in France. So the two could only watch the variety show by themselves and discuss it with the others in their group chat. Chen Fei was worried that her being featured on the variety show would negatively impact Orchidia's reputation. Contrary to her worries, however, Iris assured her that it was actually a good thing. This kind of publicity was beneficial for their company. Even though Iris told her many times that there was no need to worry so much about negatively affecting Orchidia's reputation, Chen Fei remained concerned about it. She was actually the most anxious about the company's reputation among them.

As a celebrity, Iris was already used to dealing with negative publicity. Her mentality forged through countless bashing was many times tougher than any of her friends. She wasn't too worried about ruining her company's reputation. All of her companies weren't easily toppled by something trivial like a COO's dating life with a superstar. Iris worked hard to ensure that each of her companies had stable foundations, including the ready-made ones like Gold Heights.

Back at the lounge room where the girl squad members were hanging out, the friends continued making fun of Chen Fei. According to her, the actual phone call only lasted for a few minutes. However, it was clear that the production deliberately prolonged the segment featuring the phone call to increase the suspense and maximize the entertainment value. "Smart," Iris murmured in approval. "I like the part that they took the effort to make a special short introduction of Chen Fei's background as Orchidia's COO. Brother Chonglin also made sure to mention LXC Studio every chance he got. Very good."

Long Jinjing and the others nodded, except Chen Fei who pouted.

Deep inside, however, Chen Fei had to admit that Iris was right. Chen Fei's specialty was in marketing. It was her major in business school. She agreed that the variety show should produce good results in marketing both Orchidia and LXC Studio.

"The show isn't as bad as I initially expected," she said.

Iris chuckled. "Brother Chonglin is an expert in making the most of his guest appearances in shows like this. His current status in showbiz is high enough that most shows who want to feature him have to consider his approval in how he's portrayed. Since he agreed to accept this dare of calling you on national television, he knows that he can protect you regardless of how the phone call turns out. I'm sure that he would have demanded the show to edit it out if the phone call resulted in a situation that puts you in a bad light."

Chen Fei pouted even more. She refused to admit what Iris said about Jin Chonglin, but Iris was right. Jin Chonglin might be indecisive about many things, but he wouldn't throw people under the bus without any valid reason. Her thoughts about the man were starting to become muddled. She still disdained Jin Chonglin and his narcissistic arrogance about his superstar status. But what bothered her the most was his messy dating history in the past. She didn't want to become involved with a man who had such a complicated history with so many women. What the hell was she thinking when she agreed to become his fake girlfriend?

"By the way, until when will you continue pretending to be in a fake relationship with Jin Chonglin?" Jiang Ying Yue asked. Chen Fei's mood worsened at the question. "I don't know! Back then, he said three months. But by how things are looking right now, the original three-month deadline doesn't seem possible anymore. My assistant would bring me tabloids almost every morning, and I'll be on the headlines with Jin Chonglin. The most ridiculous headlines say that we're secretly married and that I'm already pregnant."

Dom laughed. "That sounds like Boss and Sir Boss! Ahahahaha!"

Indeed, Iris and Jin Liwei successfully managed to keep their wedding and pregnancy a secret from the public for an impressive period of time last year. Although a few rumours had hit the bullseye, most of the general public didn't think that they would marry and form a family so soon. That was why it was such a massive series of bombshells when the couple finally revealed their secret wedding and Iris' pregnancy a few months later.

It seemed that the tabloids were using Iris and Jin Liwei's template to make juicy rumours about Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei.

She cast a resentful glance at Iris.

Iris raised an eyebrow at her. "Why look at me like that? If you really dislike being associated with Brother Chonglin, you can always 'dump' him and end this ridiculous fake relationship with him. You're a free woman who can make your own choices. Nobody is forcing you to go along with him…not unless you like it."

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaah! I bet she likes it!"

"Shut up, Dom!" Chen Fei glared at her overdramatic friend.

"Hehehe. Admit it, Sis Fei! You actually like Prince Lin Lin, don't you?!"

"No way! Never!"

"Weh." Dom tossed his non-existent long hair over his shoulders. "My super-duper to the highest level accurate intuition tells me I'm right! I can feel it in my beautiful bones!"

She rolled her eyes. She was adamant in her dislike for Jin Chonglin. Even so, her mind still couldn't help but become confused.

This was not good. Not good at all. ###

While the girl squad members were having fun at Chen Fei's expense, Jin Liwei and his sworn brothers were tasked with babysitting in the nursery. Jin Liwei was confident enough in his parenting skills to give the nannies a short break for today.

Only three of the five sworn brothers were present today—Jin Liwei, Lu Zihao and Lin Yehan. Wang Yingjie was busy with multiple scheduled surgeries that he didn't have time to meet up with his brothers. Yu Mo was in America attending an international conference for Systema practitioners.

The three brothers—Jin Liwei, Lu Zihao and Lin Yehan—didn't mind it too much that their other brothers weren't present. The three were already fathers, and the other two might not be able to relate to their usual conversations anymore. Yes, Lin Yehan already considered himself a father, specifically a stepfather to Little Jun. But, stepfather or not, he cared for the little boy like his own son. He watched Little Jun playing with his cousins. Little Jun was starting to become more patient and caring towards his baby cousins. Before, he was like Popcorn, who held very little interest in the babies because they couldn't play with him yet. But now that the babies had grown a little bigger, especially the Jin twins, Little Jun had begun to seek them out almost every day to play. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com.

He would teach his baby cousins how to play with toys. Then he would entertain them by showing off basic tricks with the five puppies.

The Lu twins were still young to actively play with him, but the Jin twins had already grown enough to follow their Big Brother Junjun. The three adult men watched as Little Mochi and Little Matcha crawled after Little Jun, doing their best to chase their Big Brother Junjun, Big Brother Popcorn, and the five puppies all over the large nursery room.

Ice Cream still despised the puppies, so she stayed on top of a storage cabinet and watched over everything with her judgmental eyes. If someone walked into the nursery right now, they would think that it was extremely chaotic and noisy with all the children and animals running all over the place. However, the three adult men looked relaxed, as if all the noises sounded like a gentle breeze or the sweet chirping of birds. They were already used to this kind of scene. They had to get used to it, or they would go insane. Even Lin Yehan ended up getting used to it because he would come to Dragon Palace to spend time with Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun almost every day.

Now that the Jin twins could crawl, they had become so much more active. Even the well-behaved Little Matcha couldn't help but explore every nook and cranny as soon as he could crawl. Little Mochi had always been naughty, so it was no surprise when he had a few close calls. There were instances when the fat and lazy Ice Cream went beyond her capabilities to save Little Mochi. She had jumped like a flash of lightning to block him and physically push the baby back to protect him from danger.

Of course, the nursery was fully baby-proofed. Still, naughty, curious babies would always find a way to get into trouble despite everyone keeping a close eye on them. Little Mochi was that kind of mischievous baby.
