My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 246 - 242: Think about it!

Chapter 246: 242: Think about it!
Cen Jin and Lu Shishu listened to her indignant words, feeling somewhat bewildered, but they understood the gist of it. It was nothing more than those unscrupulous media outlets fabricating stories.
"Honestly, the journalists these days are really unethical. I went to do an interview, and they wrote it up as if I had an underground romance. Why don’t they just say I’m a spy? It’s all my incompetent assistant’s fault. He just had to get appendicitis at that time. Our team was understaffed to begin with, and as the team leader, I was like a lone commander with just five people under me. Just wait! Once my information gets dug up, his fans will definitely throw rotten eggs at me." Before Cen Jin and Lu Shishu could respond, Yu Feici continued to vent angrily.
Cen Jin twitched her mouth, looking at her speechlessly, "I mean... did you forget that you’re the head honcho of a media outlet?"
"But I’ve never written a that’s pure fabrication!" Yu Feici retorted confidently with a light hum, "Besides, that brat Ji Ye is two years younger than me. I’m not interested in any older woman-younger man romance."
"So what are you going to do now?" Lu Shishu chuckled and asked.
Yu Feici shrugged and spread her hands, "I’m angry, sure, but I can’t just blindly write a piece to clear things up. This isn’t something for me to worry about; Ji Ye’s company and his manager should be the ones concerned. With this kind of rumor, their PR department isn’t just for show; they’ll definitely find a way to clarify it. So, what I need to do now is just wait and see. At most, I’ll give his manager a call later to ask about the situation. Anyway, I’m not going to take the blame for this alleged romance. Speaking of which, if it were a scandal with Shen Ting, the big handsome star, I’d be more than happy. As for Ji Ye, no thanks! With his arrogant attitude towards me yesterday, I should’ve just cracked an egg shell on him."
"..."
Cen Jin and Yu Feici exchanged a glance, feeling relieved. Given Yu Feici’s profession, she often walked the edges of the entertainment industry and was more adept at handling these situations than outsiders like them.
Their concern was just a worry that Yu Feici might get entangled with an idol like Ji Ye, who has over ten million fans, and become a target of online attacks from his fans.
After all, they were regulars on social media and had seen plenty of such s. Many celebrities have obsessive fans who can do just about anything, so they were worried about Yu Feici getting hurt.
However, it seemed now that their worries were unnecessary. With Yu Feici’s fiery personality, they figured she’d be the one bullying others rather than the other way around.
"Alright, alright, stop being upset. Since you already have a plan, we won’t ask anymore. I brought you guys gifts from Milan, take a look!" Cen Jin aptly changed the topic to smooth over the situation, pulling out two bags from beside her and placing them on the table.
Yu Feici’s mood finally improved at the mention of gifts. She raised an eyebrow, "Judging by the size of the bags, it seems like my gift isn’t as good as Shishu’s."
"You always want more for less, don’t you? See for yourself."
"Wow! There’s chocolate, too."
"Yes, I bought it on my way back that day. I wanted to buy it sooner but was worried it wouldn’t keep well."
Yu Feici didn’t rush to unwrap the other two gifts but instead opened the box of chocolates to try one. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded with satisfaction, "Mm, delicious. Shishu, try it, it’s super tasty."
Lu Shishu smiled, shaking the box of chocolates in her hand, "I have some too."
"Cen Jin, want some?"
"No, I already have two boxes at home!"
"Alright then!" Yu Feici ate another before putting down the chocolates. She took out two exquisitely packaged small boxes from the bag, opened them, and found a very beautiful and elegant watch inside. This surprised Yu Feici once again, "Wow, so pretty!"
"I thought it was beautiful when I saw it." Seeing that Lu Shishu also opened her box, she continued, "There were two colors in total. I thought they would look great on you, so I bought one for each of you, but in different colors. Are you satisfied with these gifts?"
"Very satisfied."
"Yes, I like it."
For the other two gifts, Cen Jin bought a very unique and beautiful brooch for Yu Feici, which Yu Feici loved so much that she said she had been wanting to buy a brooch recently, and it was as if Cen Jin read her mind by gifting one. The gift for Lu Shishu was chosen based on her preferences: a limited edition set of Milan art paints. When Lu Shishu saw it, her eyes brightened, and she was very pleased with the gift.
"Thank you, Cen Jin, for your kind thought and expense." Lu Shishu smiled faintly, picking up the bags on the table and putting them underneath.
"Since that’s the case, why don’t you two treat me to dinner tonight?" Cen Jin wasn’t bashful at all, suggesting it without a hint of embarrassment.
"Sure, what do you want to eat tonight?" Yu Feici generously agreed, asking in a spirited manner.
"Hot pot." Cen Jin raised an eyebrow, responding almost instantly. Possibly because she had been in Milan and was used to eating Western food every day, the first thing that popped into her mind was hot pot, which she especially craved.
Lu Shishu chuckled lightly and nodded, "Mm, that sounds good. It’s been quite cold these days, so having hot pot and a bit of alcohol would just be perfect to warm up. How do you both feel about that?"
"Very nice. Let’s leave her out of it, though. If she gets drunk, who knows if Jiang Baizhou will come after us with a forty-meter-long machete tomorrow? Actions speak louder than words, let’s get going. Let me grab my coat and bag, give me a moment." Yu Feici glanced at Cen Jin, deliberately mocking, and to avoid Cen Jin jumping up to hit her in embarrassment, she quickly got up to grab her coat and handbag from the bedroom.
After the three of them left Yu Feici’s apartment together, their eyes roamed between Lu Shishu’s and Yu Feici’s cars. After exchanging a glance, they all understood what each other was thinking.
Lu Shishu had always been someone who fancied a good drink, and Cen Jin and Yu Feici had humorously bestowed her with a nickname, ’Cool Glamorous Boozehound,’ which really suited her.
Although Yu Feici wasn’t as fond of drinking as Lu Shishu, she didn’t shy away from it either. Plus, for professional reasons, her capacity was quite decent, but she couldn’t drive after drinking. Calling a driver each time was a hassle, having to go back and forth between two places, which was too tedious and troublesome.
"Cen Jin, with the end of the year approaching, have you thought about getting a driver’s license?" Lu Shishu considered for a long while before turning her head to Cen Jin beside her to ask slowly.
"Yeah, I think so too. Consider it, maybe!" Yu Feici nodded emphatically, agreeing wholeheartedly.
