Chapter 1540 Liberté’s Public Grand Opening (Part III)
Chapter 1540 Liberté’s Public Grand Opening (Part III)
For now, Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei ignored the reporters and paparazzi shouting for them. They walked toward the fans to interact with them first.
They mirrored what Iris and Jin Liwei had done earlier.
Like Iris, Jin Chonglin took the time to sign autographs, take photos, and chat with his army of fans. However, unlike Iris who made her husband take pictures, Jin Chonglin took the photos himself with his fan's phones instead.
He didn't dare to ask his fiancée to act as a photographer.
What if she threatened to castrate him in front of his fans? How embarrassing would that be for him!
He failed to realize that he had already destroyed his image in front of his army of fans when the video of his proposal was spread all over the news and online. Everyone witnessed his lame and clumsy side that nobody had discovered yet before.
They felt so embarrassed for him, but at the same time, it made him seem more human, especially to his army of fans worldwide. His clumsy proposal actually endeared him even more to the masses.
It proved that despite his playboy reputation, he could still become like a shy teenager fumbling in front of his first love.
His army of fans had a tacit agreement among themselves not to mention that this was their Prince Lin Lin's second engagement.
His first fiancée was a criminal who was charged with the attempted murder of Iris Long, now his sister-in-law. Compared to Fan Luo, that evil woman, Chen Fei was many leagues better.
Chen Fei was a successful business executive who ran Orchidia's daily operations. Although she wasn't classically beautiful, many of Jin Chonglin's fans could understand how he fell in love with her. She had a strong, no-nonsense aura that could control their Prince Lin Lin's playfulness.
Of course, there was still a portion of Jin Chonglin's fan base who was against his relationship with Chen Fei, not because they didn't like her, but because they preferred for him to be single his entire life. This was so that they could continue to fantasize about him for the rest of their lives as their lover/boyfriend/husband.
They were his sasaeng fans who repeatedly attempted to invade his privacy numerous times throughout the years. Fortunately, his security had improved a lot in the last couple of years thanks to his older brother, Jin Liwei (and his AI cat niece and nephew).
Today, there were no sasaeng fans. Iris had Clover make sure that no extreme and dangerous people would be able to go anywhere near Liberté these days to protect her, Yin Meixing, and Jin Chonglin.
Back to Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei, they continued to interact with the fans. Many came to see them both, so they took longer than when Iris and Jin Liwei interacted with the Black Stars earlier.
"Congratulations on your engagement, Prince Lin Lin!"
"We wish you and COO Chen the best! We hope that you get married soon!"
"Please get a reliable ring bearer on your wedding day. We don't want the same thing to happen at your wedding when people have to crawl all over the place to look for the rings!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Jin Chonglin grimaced.
Chen Fei, however, couldn't hold it anymore. She laughed alongside his fans.freē.com
He cast a sullen look at her.
She gave him a playful elbow, silently reminding him to mind his expressions. There were so many eyes watching them, especially the media who would spin over-the-top false narratives for traffic.
He winked at her in response to her silent reminder. His action caused a round of loud squeals among his fans.
Clover didn't rush the couple to move along.
Iris had already instructed her to allow Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei longer media exposure before the grand opening. At least, when the reporters and paparazzi took photos of them, they would be standing right in front of Liberté. This was the best free publicity they could get for the perfumery.
Finally, the couple moved on to face the reporters and paparazzi. Unlike the careful consideration toward Iris Long due to her husband's power and her hidden connections with other influential people, and the polite interviews with Yin Meixing, the reporters and paparazzi didn't hold back when it came to Jin Chonglin.
Although he was the younger brother of CEO Jin, Jin Chonglin rarely used his family's influence to pave the way for him in showbiz. However, it couldn't be said that being the second young master of the Jin family didn't make his journey to superstardom easier than normal either. Being a Jin certainly helped, but he didn't solely rely on his identity.
The reporters and paparazzi looked like sharks who smelled blood in the ocean.
"Jin Chonglin, when is the wedding?"
"How much is the engagement ring?"
"Jin Chonglin, did you propose only because your girlfriend is pregnant?"
"Chen Fei, how does it feel to be engaged to a known playboy?"
"Miss Chen, you rejected Jin Chonglin's proposal at first but later changed your mind and said yes. Is it true that you were only forced to accept his proposal because you didn't want to embarrass him in front of so many people yesterday?"
"COO Chen, this is Jin Chonglin's second engagement. How secure are you that he will really marry you in the end?"
As a celebrity who had climbed his way up to superstardom throughout the years, Jin Chonglin was already used to scathing remarks and questions from the media. If he were only by himself, he wouldn't mind dealing with such aggressive reporters. It was part of the game as a famous public figure.
This time, however, he couldn't listen to the reporters directing such aggressive questions at his lady. His expression changed. He was about to fight the reporters and paparazzi when Chen Fei held him back.
"Babe," he said in a worried tone.
Chen Fei gave him an "I got this" smile.
Then she stepped forward as if SHE was the one who was protecting HIM.
