Reporters hold a meeting

Fu Xi's manager, Coco, was in a complete panic dealing with the public relations crisis. "How about you find that girl and ask her to hold a press conference to clarify things?"

"No, this is ultimately my own carelessness. How can I drag that girl into this? Moreover, she's innocent!"

"Innocent? If she hadn't insisted on having lunch with you, would you have been involved in this scandal? Would your persona have collapsed?"

"I was the one who dragged her to have lunch. And I've long wanted to get rid of the persona you guys created for me! What perfect and all-around, no one can be truly perfect. Even if it wasn't that girl this time, there would be some other opportunity to expose this lie!"

"You've never been like this before! Why have you suddenly changed? Is it because of that girl?"

Ji Chen's appearance was just a trigger. Only he himself knew how oppressive it was to maintain that persona for a long time, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

But what did Ji Chen say? Rest! It was a word he didn't even dare to think about. Ever since he became famous, he seemed to have barely had any rest. Although Lidi Entertainment had a rule that employees didn't have to work on the 15th of each month, his manager, who was as greedy as a bloodthirsty person, actually took away that little bit of rest time and used it to sign him up for all kinds of art classes, such as acting classes, bel canto classes, piano classes, cooking classes...

The all-around Fu Xi in the eyes of his fans was actually built up through one endless cram school after another. And he himself didn't actually like this kind of persona.

However, just because Fu Xi didn't care about this persona didn't mean his manager, Coco, didn't care. Coco had already sent out lawyer's letters stating that if anyone continued to slander and falsely accuse Fu Xi of having a secret girlfriend, they would be sued in court.

After all, the law can't punish everyone. If one or two people said such things, the power of the lawyer's letter would be effective. But the speed at which entertainment news spreads is extremely fast. If most people turn against him and claim that Fu Xi's rumored girlfriend is a fact, then the audience will just believe it.

After all, in the entertainment industry, the truth often doesn't matter. The entertainment industry is called the entertainment industry precisely because it's for people's entertainment. Once the public is entertained, they will long forget the truth...

"Hello, is this Miss Ji Chen? I'm Coco, Fu Xi's manager. Here's the thing..."

Coco told Ji Chen about the public's comments on Fu Xi, the impact on Fu Xi, and the decisions made by the public relations department.

In general, the main idea was that Ji Chen was to hold a press conference to clarify her relationship with Fu Xi.

Ji Chen was, of course, willing. After all, she was the one who caused the trouble. After hearing the solutions proposed by Coco, Ji Chen agreed without a second thought.

"Okay, then when you've made all the arrangements, just come and notify me!"

After saying that, Coco exchanged some polite words and then hung up the phone.

"Notify you about what?"

At this moment, Li Xuan, the "househusband" wearing an apron, walked in with a tray of the breakfast he made.

"It's nothing! Wow, it smells so good. What did you make? Hurry up and serve it, Xiao Xuanzi!"

"Yes, my lady!"

When Ji Chen took a look, all her bad mood was dispelled. They were all her favorite foods: congee with century eggs and lean pork, soybean milk, deep-fried dough sticks...

Ji Chen quickly got out of bed, jumped onto Li Xuan, and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Li Xuan, still holding the tray in his hand, asked Ji Chen helplessly but gently, "Where do you want to eat? Here or in the living room?"

"I want you to hold me like this while I eat!" Ji Chen giggled wickedly.

Such a virtuous man. Even if Fu Xi was all-around, handsome, and charming, so what? How was her Li Xuan any worse? In terms of looks, both of them had their own charm. But Li Xuan's charming and mischievous demeanor was more to Ji Chen's taste compared to Fu Xi's gentleness. All-around? It seemed that she hadn't found any flaws in Li Xuan...

The outside world actually spread rumors that she and Fu Xi were a couple? They really had no sense!

"Open your mouth!"

"Hmm? What for?"

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"No, I..."

Ji Chen had just been joking, but she didn't expect Li Xuan to actually start feeding her. Before Ji Chen could finish her sentence, Li Xuan used the hand that wasn't holding the tray to stuff a deep-fried dough stick into Ji Chen's mouth.

"You... Let me down quickly!" Ji Chen still had the dough stick in her mouth and couldn't speak clearly, but she looked extremely cute.

"What are you afraid of? Even if you stay on me like this all the time, I can carry you for a lifetime, two lifetimes, three lifetimes..."

"Come on, I know you're amazing, but I can't eat well like this!"

"Alright, alright!" As Li Xuan spoke, he carried her to the dining table in the living room and put her down.

Ji Chen wanted to get off the table, but Li Xuan was standing right in front of her, and she couldn't get down.

"Let me down quickly!"

"I've already put you down!"

"I mean let me down from the table. Otherwise, how can I eat!" Ji Chen finally finished chewing and swallowing the dough stick in her mouth.

"That's easy. I'll feed you!" As Li Xuan spoke, he picked up a spoon and fed Ji Chen a mouthful of congee with century eggs and lean pork.

After Ji Chen swallowed it, she put her hand around Li Xuan's neck. "If you keep spoiling me like this, what if I get too lazy to even eat by myself in the future? Have you really thought about taking responsibility for me?"

Li Xuan put down the tray in his hand, gently scraped the tip of Ji Chen's nose, and said seriously, "I've thought about it. Anyway, you won't have to cook or eat by yourself in the future!"

Ji Chen was stunned. "What do you mean? Are you really going to cook three meals a day for me?"

"Not just that. Anyway, I'm moving in here. You can do whatever you want!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Ji Chen coughed dryly and then said, "What? Moving in!"

"Yeah, otherwise, I was only away from you for one day, and this kind of thing happened. How can I dare to leave you alone again!"

Ji Chen quickly pushed Li Xuan away and jumped off the table. "No! That's not allowed!"

Li Xuan walked up to Ji Chen, and Ji Chen stepped back step by step. Finally, Ji Chen was cornered against a wall with nowhere else to retreat.

Li Xuan used his index finger to lift Ji Chen's chin and said in a teasing tone, "Are you... blushing?"

Ji Chen slapped Li Xuan's hand away. "What blushing? We've just been together for a short time, and now you want us to live together! Moreover, generally speaking, isn't it the woman who moves into the man's house? In ancient times, you'd be considered a man who marries into the woman's family! A pretty boy!"

"So that's what you're worried about. You don't have to worry about that. I'll go buy a house later. However, I don't care about things like marrying into the woman's family or being called a pretty boy!"

"You! Are you kidding me? Is that the point? The point is... is... Ugh, anyway, we can't live together!"

"No room for negotiation?"

"No!"

"Fine!"

Li Xuan let Ji Chen go.

But early the next morning, there was a continuous banging sound coming from the next door. Ji Chen, who had 好不容易 wanted to catch up on some beauty sleep, was disturbed and couldn't have any peace.

She ran out angrily, eager to settle the score with the neighbor next door. But as soon as she went out, Ji Chen was stunned. The movers were carrying things one by one into the house next door.

She hadn't heard that this family was moving. Why was it so sudden? Well, forget it. It didn't matter. What she was concerned about was the appearance of the new neighbor.

Who was Ji Chen? She wasn't good at the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she was into money and good looks.

She sneaked into the neighbor's house with the movers, wanting to greet the new neighbor. But as soon as she entered the door, Ji Chen was stunned again. "Li Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Li Xuan, considering Ji Chen's resolute attitude yesterday, although he verbally gave up living with Ji Chen, he didn't say he couldn't live next door! He quickly asked Bai Li to handle all the procedures for him to buy a house as a human: the eligibility to buy a house in Shanghai, his ID card, household register...

After going through all the procedures, Li Xuan hardly did anything, but Bai Li was exhausted. This matter wasn't really difficult, but Li Xuan insisted on moving in today. The original resident was suddenly driven out by Li Xuan... Bai Li apologized for a long time and bought this house at double the price in full.

"Where else would I be? You're so worrying. I'm not living with you now, so you can't stop me!"

"I! Fine, you can live here!" Ji Chen walked out helplessly.

Today was not only the day Li Xuan moved in but also the day set for the press conference.

Ji Chen got herself ready and then went out.

After going out, there was a car specially sent by Coco to pick her up. She was shocked when she saw the scene outside. When leaving the community, Ji Chen glanced out of the window and saw that at least twenty media outlets were blocking the entrance of the community. Fortunately, the car window glass allowed her to see outside from the inside, but people outside couldn't see inside. Otherwise, with so many people, they would probably tear her apart!

At the press conference, Coco sat between Fu Xi and Ji Chen. Fu Xi was extremely reluctant to come, but in the end, he was dragged here by Coco. He didn't have a good expression throughout the whole process.

After everyone present was seated, the press conference officially began.

"Dear journalists and other attendees, hello. I'm very sorry to have you spare your time for this press conference. This press conference is to clarify some recent false rumors. Now you can ask any questions you want!" After making the opening remarks, Coco sat down.

The journalists below started asking questions one after another: "Miss Ji Chen, it's said that you're pregnant with the artist Fu Xi's child. Is this true?" "How does Mr. Fu Xi explain his statement that he doesn't have a girlfriend?" "Miss Ji Chen, when did Mr. Fu Xi start being with you?"...

The journalists were pressing Ji Chen with one question after another.

Ji Chen stood up and said to the camera, "I'm not Fu Xi's girlfriend, and I'm not pregnant with his child. Please stop slandering Fu Xi. He hasn't done anything that requires an explanation to the public!"

But the journalists below were still being aggressive. "Do you have any evidence to prove these words?"

Evidence? How could she prove that she wasn't Fu Xi's girlfriend?

But this wasn't the most unreasonable part. There were not only these journalists but also many mindless fans of Fu Xi. First, they condemned Ji Chen, asking her to give them back their dream lover, Fu Xi. Some even started throwing things at Ji Chen.

Seeing this, Coco, realizing that she couldn't control the emotions of the people below, took a few security guards and forced Fu Xi to run backstage, fearing that the people below might accidentally hurt Fu Xi. Fu Xi wanted to help Ji Chen, but as soon as he stood up, he was dragged back by several strong bodyguards.

Ji Chen stood on the stage alone, covering her face with her hands. The fans below couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing that Ji Chen was alone, they rushed onto the stage without hesitation, wanting to beat her up.
