Chapter 196 'Wen's' Husband
During the photo shoot, Shang Chen's reserved yet affectionate manner left Wen Xi somewhat overwhelmed.
Wenxi: "..."
Did Shang Chen flip a switch inside his body after getting drunk last night?
Today's business was a bit too enthusiastic.
We went out to a private location to shoot in the afternoon, and were busy all day, not finishing until 9 pm.
Assistant Wu helped Shang Chen finish up, and Wen Xi leaned on Shang Chen's shoulder, exhausted. "Let's call it a day after this is over?"
Shang Chen: "Are you very tired?"
Wenxi: "I am indeed a bit tired."
Shang Chen: "Then we'll film the rest later."
According to the plan, the wedding photos will be taken on location at an island and grassland, which will indeed be quite rushed.
Shang Chen thought, "How about we go on vacation once a year and take some local wedding photos while we're at it?"
Wen Xi's eyelids were drooping, and she managed to glance at Shang Chen: "You really like taking wedding photos?"
After a moment's hesitation, Shang Chen said frankly, "I like it very much."
Shang Chen felt it was meaningful to leave traces of their marriage in different places.
Wenxi: "Then let's take the picture!"
Since her husband liked her so much, she was willing to risk her life to be with him!
Wenxi only sobered up a bit after taking a shower at home.
She was about to pick up her phone to check her messages when she saw a dozen or so links sent by Bai Wei.
She thought it was just another topic of discussion about 'Wen Mouren' and internet celebrity Jiang Jiang.
But when she clicked in, she found that the message was somewhat different from what she had expected.
[Wen Lu, Anmei's PR team is really powerful; they've even got you and my mentor trending on social media!]
[Wen Lu, so you went to take wedding photos today? You look absolutely stunning!]
You should have told me sooner, I would have helped you lift your skirt!
【Aaaaaah! Attorney Wen, Attorney Jiang has seen my mentor's handsome face, how dare she spread rumors that he's old, ugly, and bald?!】
Wenxi patiently read through all the posts Bai Wei sent her, one by one.
The posts were all about her and Shang Chen appearing at a wedding dress shop and their loving relationship.
Of course, the most important topic is 'Wen's' husband, who is not the old, ugly, and bald man in legend.
The husband of "Wen Mouren" has such a bad image online that when his photos were released, they swept across the internet and generated a lot of discussion.
Online discussions ranged from debating "Wen Mouren's" husband to praising Shang Chen's good looks, and then to gushing over the couple's sweet moments.
Judging from the angle of the photo, it was probably taken by Ms. Lu, who was trying to get a better spot.
The pictures she takes are all very interesting.
One picture shows Shang Chen feeding Wen Xi water, another shows Shang Chen applying lipstick to Wen Xi, and yet another shows Shang Chen stealing a kiss from Wen Xi.
The photos feature a handsome man and a beautiful woman, both with excellent temperaments and a strong sense of ambiguity, making them very eye-catching.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Wenxi and Shangchen had hired a photography team to stage the photos.
Someone even made a music video out of the photos, and the traffic skyrocketed instantly, with fans who were obsessed with the two's good looks raving about it.
After watching for a while, Wenxi called Mia first.
This online traffic trend is clearly being manipulated and pushed by someone behind the scenes.
Mia answered the phone and laughed, "I knew you were going to call, I've been waiting."
Wenxi got straight to the point: "What's the story behind the news about me and my husband online?"
"Don't tell me it was an accident?"
Mia smiled and said, "Although I promised President Shang to keep it a secret, I think it's best to be honest."
Wenxi: "..."
It was indeed related to Shang Chen.
Mia: "Not long after we signed the contract, President Shang also gave me a public relations fee."
Wenxi guessed what was going on and, suppressing a laugh, asked, "What did he ask you to do for public relations?"
"Negative images of 'Wen Moumou's' husband online."
It seems that Shang Chen really cares about the 'slander' against him online.
Wenxi: "So, Ms. Lu today was sent by Anmei?"
"They are our staff members."
"His business skills are excellent."
Wenxi never dreamed that Shang Chen would specifically hire someone to do public relations.
"I will pass on your praise to her."
Wen Xi got up and walked to the window: "I would like to ask Manager Mi for another small favor."
Since Shang Chen likes being praised so much, Wen Xi doesn't mind making him even happier.
Mia readily agreed, "Please go ahead."
Just as Wenxi hung up the phone, Shang Chen came out of the shower, still drying his hair with a towel.
Wenxi looked up at him with a smile: "Did you see the news online?"
Shang Chen calmly asked, "What news?"
Still pretending to be stupid?
Wen Xi's tone lifted slightly: "'Wen Mouren's' tall, handsome, and charismatic old daddy husband?"
Shang Chen liked Wen Xi's words.
He approached and said, "Xixi, I'll take that as a compliment."
Wenxi: "No?"
"Sure," Shang Chen said calmly. "I like it very much."
Between the couple, Wenxi used to be the one who took the direct approach.
Now Shang Chen has learned all of this and is even putting it into practice.
Wenxi, holding her phone, teased him, "The news is pretty good, it cleared my husband's name, but the photos..."
What's wrong with the photo?
Seeing Wenxi's hesitant expression, Shang Chen calmly asked a question.
Wenxi: "The photo editing is a bit too much."
Shang Chen: "?!"
"They've photoshopped you into a pretty boy, but you're not mature at all, and you have no authority."
Shang Chen: "..."
Was Wenxi telling the truth or mocking him?
Wenxi stepped forward and hooked her arm around Shang Chen's neck. "I like you the way you are now. You look serious and old-fashioned, but you're so cute..."
Shang Chen couldn't help but cough twice.
Although he liked Wenxi praising him, was the adjective "cute" really suitable for him?
Shang Chen said with a stern face, "Xi Xi, how about we use a different word to praise her?"
“I like this.” Wenxi: “Haven’t you seen this in the news lately?”
Wenxi said in a leisurely tone, "To say that your husband is cute means that you like him no matter how you look at him."
I haven't actually seen Shang Chen.
After Wenxi said that, Shang Chen believed her.
How much do you like it?
Wenxi stared at him and smiled, "Just looking at him makes me happy, I really like him."
Wenxi dared not utter any vulgar words, fearing she would be sleepless tonight.
With a serious face, Shang Chen asked earnestly, "So, are you going to blow-dry your 'cute' husband's hair?"
Shang Chen also specifically emphasized the word 'cute'.
Wenxi couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and burst into laughter.
Shang Chen: "..."
It seems he hasn't made enough progress yet.
Wenxi smiled and said, "Sit down, let me dry your hair first."
Shang Chen obediently sat down, and Wen Xi took the handkerchief.
"I just called Mia."
Shang Chen sat upright: "..."
Wenxi asked in a gentle tone, as if making casual conversation, "You really dislike those things said online?"
Shang Shen said seriously, "The rumors and gossip on the internet are seriously damaging my personal image."
He suddenly looked up at Wenxi: "Xixi."
"Um?"
"You said we were a match made in heaven. If I'm old, ugly, and bald, how can I be worthy of you?"
Wenxi paused, her smile widening.
So this is why Shang Chen cares so much about the rumors circulating online.
She couldn't resist and kissed Shang Chen's head, saying, "My husband is so cute, of course he's a perfect match for me."
Looking at her smiling face, Shang Chen's thick eyebrows slightly lit up: "I think so too."
