Iris discussed with Long Jinjing and Chen Fei about her plans for the national shooting team’s endorsement with Orchidia Beauty. Dom also shared some opinions which Iris welcomed. She trusted her best friend and assistant. However, the final decision would still rest on her.

Afterwards, Chen Fei closed the small notebook that she brought after jotting down Iris’ instructions.

”I’ll work on the team’s endorsement as soon as possible,” she said.

Iris nodded.

Long Jinjing sighed. “I wish I could help. This endorsement project sounds fun.”

”Sis Jing, don’t be too impatient!” Dom told her. “Little Misha and Little Dima are still so small. Wait until they’re a bit bigger and you can slowly return to work like what Boss is doing right now.”

She nodded. “I know. Thanks, Dom.”

While the girl squad members enjoyed the rest of the evening together, an exhausted Jin Chonglin headed to one of his secret apartments to avoid the paparazzi surrounding his known residences. He had been extremely busy earlier today.

Although he already expected that things would get crazy once he announced his “relationship” with Chen Fei, he still felt slightly underprepared at the onslaught of paparazzi, reporters and interview requests. His social media accounts had blown up with his fans’ comments and messages.

His assistant left after cleaning up the takeout boxes that he ate for dinner. Then he took a quick shower and got ready for bed. He was about to fall asleep when his phone rang.

He tried ignoring it at first but it was persistent.

”Dammit.”

Then he checked the caller display and all the irritation he felt disappeared.

”Hello, Mom?”

”Son, is it true that Chen Fei is now your girlfriend?” Huang Yuyan immediately asked without even greeting him back.

Jin Chonglin sighed and sat up in bed. His brain made a quick analysis about the pros and cons of admitting the truth to his mother.

In the end, he said, “Yes, it’s true.”

”Oh.” She paused. “I only heard about the news this evening because I spent the entire day at your grandma’s mountain villa.”

”I see. How’s Grandma?”

”She’s fine but not as energetic as before. She’s getting old now. You and your brother should visit her more often. I’m sure that she’ll be delighted.”

”Okay, Mom.”

”Good. But don’t change the subject! We’re talking about your relationship with Chen Fei. When did the two of you get together?”

”Not long. Just a few days ago before the gala.” This was what he and Chen Fei agreed upon.

”Oh.” His mother paused again. “I’m happy that you have a girlfriend again. I thought that you’re still traumatized after what happened with—never mind. Chen Fei is a good girl.”

He had to stop himself from snorting at his mother’s claim. Chen Fei was a good girl? Really? Why didn’t he know it?

Huang Yuyan continued, “Her way of speaking might be, er, unrestrained...but she’s still a nice, pretty, young woman who has a bright future especially as the COO of your sister-in-law’s company. I like her.”

Jin Chonglin pursed his lips. He didn’t know how to reply to his mother.

”I’m glad that you got together with her, son. Don’t play around and hurt her, you hear me? And stop always fighting with her.”

His heart skipped a bit. He felt a bit guilty. However, he and Chen Fei already made this decision so they had to go through it until the end.

He could only reassure his mother. “Alright, Mom. I understand. Don’t worry too much.”

”You must bring Chen Fei and have dinner here at the old house with me, okay? Or maybe we can go to your grandma’s mountain villa and eat together with her.”

He felt even guiltier but still said, “Okay, Mom.”

His mother left him a few additional reminders before hanging up. Finally, the call ended.

Jin Chonglin stared at the phone. He no longer felt sleepy.

”Three months. Just three months and this play will be over. That rude, bossy woman and I will ‘break up’ amicably and go on our own lives just like before. No hard feelings. I’ll just tell my fans that the two of us made the mutual decision to separate after realizing our incompatibility. Yes, that’s the plan.”

He knew based on experience that three months would fly by quickly. Right now, however, it felt like it would be a long time.
