Perfect Superstar

Chapter 198 – Not Yet Lovers

“Hehehe…”

From the high-quality receiver of the smartphone came a silver bell like laughter, stirring Lu Chen’s heartstrings.

Something so big happened, it even made the entertainment headlines. Compared with his anxiety, the other party didn’t seem to mind, but seemed to find it interesting.

Lu Chen said helplessly: “Sister Fei, do you think I should issue an explanation statement on my side?”

In a short period of half a day, the gossip about his private meeting with Chen Fei’er spread all over the entertainment circle and became the hottest topic in Inspur blog. During the photoshoot, Li Feiyu received dozens of phone calls!

Lu Chen had just browsed his blog. The comment section of his blog was so chaotic. With his fans sending blessings on one side and Chen Fei’er’s fans or other haters on the other, scolding and blasting crazily. It was a mess.

Among them, Lu Chen’s most toxic argument was that he was deliberately hyping and using Chen Fei’er to create a scandal to increase his value.

He hired the reporter who broke the story!

This kind of slandering and defaming argument was really not something that the haters imagined out of thin air. There were too many dirty things in the entertainment industry. There were countless incidents in which small stars and artists “touch the porcelain” with big names to hype themselves.

Chen Fei’er has encountered similar situations before. it was normal for her fans to be sensitive.

After all, compared to the Queen of Sweet Song, Lu Chen was just a newcomer in the circle!

But Lu Chen was really being wrongly accused.

As an independent artist, he hasn’t even received that many notices since his debut, and rarely took the initiative to hype and promote himself. Several times, he stood on the cusp of the storm, all because of the need to fight back.

With the strength he possessed, all he needed was the accumulation of time and personal connections to be a big name.

In fact, in terms of Lu Chen’s current achievements, not many newcomers can match it.

Why should he use such a despicable means to attract attention?

So, after knowing the situation, he called Chen Fei’er immediately.

He didn’t want the other party to misunderstand that he was playing tricks.

Chen Fei’er said with a smile: “You don’t have to worry, I will explain. The studio will also issue a public statement. You can do your work with peace of mind. And boost your popularity while we’re at it.”

She knew about the news much earlier than Lu Chen, but she didn’t immediately make an announcement until Lu Chen called.

Chen Fei’er trusted Lu Chen, but she couldn’t help laughing when she heard his exasperated explanation.

Because Lu Chen obviously attached great importance to the relationship between them.

Otherwise, with his composure, he would never have been so anxious!

Now that Sister Fei was satisfied, of course she has to solve the problem, which was just a small matter for her.

Lu Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

His blog, which has also been popular, has been scolded, and the fans of both sides have been at war!

Of course, Lu Chen was very happy that Chen Fei’er believed him.

The depression in his heart disappeared.

In fact, Lu Chen didn’t realize the weight Chen Fei’er had in his heart at this time was…

Unconsciously increasing!

At 7 pm that day, at the opening celebration and new product introduction banquet of a certain international brand flagship store at Jinling, Chen Fei’er, who had just walked through the red carpet, was surrounded by a large number of media reporters.

Their questions seemed to come at Chen Fei’er like a storm.

“Miss Chen Fei’er, is it true that you and Lu Chen are in a relationship?”

“Miss Chen Fei’er, are you the person in the photo who dined alone with Lu Chen in Wangjiang Restaurant?”

“Miss Chen Fei’er…”

Tonight’s Chen Fei’er was clad in an elegant evening dress, her half-bared shoulders were especially graceful. Facing the bombardment of media reporters, she calmly replied, “Yesterday evening, I invited Lu Chen to dinner in Wangjiang Restaurant.”

Wow!

It was unexpectedly true!

Many reporters thought Chen Fei’er would deny it. After all, she was wearing sunglasses in the photos taken.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fei’er admitted it without hesitation.

A reporter asked excitedly, “Are you in a relationship with Lu Chen?”

Chen Fei’er said with a smile, “Lu Chen and I are very good friends, and I’m here to tell good news. The two main songs of my new album have been determined, both were written and composed by Lu Chen!”

“If all goes well, the new album will be released next month. It will be my transformational work!”

Album?

What the heck? Album? What we’re asking is whether you are in a relationship!

The reporters were stupefied. They thought they could dig a big news out of Chen Fei’er’s mouth. But the result…

Well, Lu Chen writing the main song for Chen Fei’er’s transformation work was also news.

But the value of this news was really different from the value of love between an older woman and a younger man.

In this way, the reason for two people to eat alone was very simple, and it was not worth making a fuss at all.

Another reporter asked reluctantly, “Miss Chen Fei’er. Are you and Lu Chen really not in a relationship?”

There was a look of disbelief and skepticism on his face.

This was what entertainment reporters do. They would stop at nothing to get the news. Such impolite questions could be regarded as child’s play. If Chen Fei’er’s status in the entertainment circle wasn’t high enough, otherwise, they would’ve come up with more unpleasant questions.

Chen Fei’er was accustomed to rumors and won’t fall for the other party’s provocations.

She pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Lu Chen is a very talented and good boy. If I were ten years younger, I might really chase him. Now I can only be a good friend.”

Chen Fei’er has a characteristic, that was, she has never been shy about talking about her real age. Unlike many female stars who hide their age and would use answers such as “guess” when asked by others to keep it mysterious.

And her answer now showed her openness, at the same time, she has held Lu Chen to a very high level!

If she were ten years younger, the Heavenly Queen would chase after him!

Which newcomer could receive such praise?

There really weren’t any!

The reporters still wanted to ask questions, but Chen Fei’er didn’t give them a chance and turned around and entered the banquet scene.

At 8 pm, Chen Fei’er’s blog posted a public statement.

At 8:20, Lu Chen’s blog also posted a statement.

The contents of the two statements were more or less the same. First explaining the friendly relationship between the two, and the second was the new album.

With the release of these two public statements, the rumor soon subsided.

Chen Fei’er’s fans were satisfied. Chen Fei’er was still the perfect goddess in their eyes.

Although Lu Chen’s fans felt a little regretful, the news that Lu Chen wrote the title song for Chen Fei’er’s new album still made everyone feel very excited and looking forward to it, because this was the first cooperation between Lu Chen and a real big star!

Moreover, Chen Fei’er’s praise of Lu Chen also made them feel very comfortable.

Look at what Chen Fei’er said: if she was ten years younger, she would chase him instead. Is there any more to be said about our family’s Lu Chen’s abilities?

The entertainment media didn’t want to give up. They concocted gossips such as [Chen Fei’er said she wanted to chase Lu Chen] in a vain attempt to win attention. Unfortunately, it was a pity that they could no longer stir up any waves.

The most important thing was that this incident was purely accidental. There was no Big V pusher to hype it up, so there was too much thunder but the rain was small[1]. Moreover, there were too many news in the entertainment industry, and there were countless of artists trying to make headlines. Naturally, they couldn’t make a bigger impact.

People would naturally forget about it after a few days, unless they were caught in a really intimate scene.

For Lu Chen, the most direct outcome of this scandal was that his Inspur blog fans soared to more than 7.5 million, and the sale volume of the album “You Who Sat Next To Me”, which was sold online in QQ Music, has rebounded and finally broke the platinum standard of 500,000!

Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages, that was, because of Chen Fei’er, the number of his haters has also increased at the same time.

As for Chen Fei’er, the incident didn’t have any affect her in any way, but instead it promoted her new album.

At about 11 o’clock that evening, Lu Chen and Li Feiyu returned to Beijing.

When Lu Chen opened the door of the single apartment he rented in the Creative Park, he found that the light inside was on.

The smell of food wafted through the air and hot steaming delicacies were placed on the dining table in the small living room,

Lu Xi poked her head out of the kitchen and said, “You’re hungry, right? Go ahead and eat.”

Lu Chen was surprised: “Sister, why are you here?”

When he boarded the train and was about to arrive in Beijing, Lu Chen sent a message to Lu Xi, telling the other party his itinerary.

Unexpectedly, his sister went to the apartment to cook midnight snacks for him.

Lu Xi said angrily, “Li Feiyu said that you didn’t have enough dinner and drank too much!”

Lu Chen smiled bitterly.

In the evening, Senqi hosted a banquet to entertain him, accompanied by several senior executives, which was very saving face.

On an occasion like that, how could he eat without restraint, so he drank a lot of wine and didn’t eat half a grain of rice!

He was really hungry now.

As he was already very tired when he arrived in Beijing, Lu Chen went home first. Unexpectedly, his sister had prepared food for him.

No wonder the message that Lu Xi sent him just now was that he should go straight home and have a rest.

Lu Chen felt warm in his heart.

It was really better to have relatives around to accompany and take care of you. All the painstaking and tiring efforts were worth it.

But he was obviously happy too soon.

As soon as he sat down and ate a few bites, his sister, after serving up the last dish, sat down and began to interrogate.

“Are you really with Chen Fei’er?…”

“She’s very nice, and she’s a big star, so I’m afraid other will say you are social climbing…”

“Age is also a problem. She is eight years older than you!”

“Can you tell me what you think?”

Lu Chen really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: “Sister, Chen Fei’er and I really aren’t in a relationship. We are just friends.”

“Really not?”

Lu Xi sneered: “do you dare say that you don’t like her? she really doesn’t mean anything to you in that way?”

Lu Chen was speechless.

Truthfully speaking, he liked Chen Fei’er, but this “like” wasn’t to the point where he admired and wanted to pursue her.

Chen Fei’er seemed to be the same, or maybe she’s more friendly?

Perhaps the most appropriate words to describe it was…

More than friends, not yet lovers!
