Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 886 - 888: As Witty as Netizens

He Jinxia couldn’t help but curl her lips. Suddenly, she opened her eyes to look at him, rolled over, propped her head up with one hand, blinked her eyes, and said, "Then I’ll give you a massage too. I can’t let you do it for me every time."

Sheng Yan patted her head, "No need. You’ve been busy with schedules these days, it’s tiring."

He Jinxia reached out to pat his head too, smiling brightly, "Gotta earn money to support the family, no choice!"

Sheng Yan’s mouth curled up slightly, and he said lightly, "Supporting me isn’t cheap."

He Jinxia raised an eyebrow, then lifted his chin with one hand, and provocatively said, "Go ahead, tell me, how much does it cost to support you per month?"

She let out a soft snort, waving her hand grandly, "I’ll cover the rest of your life!"

Sheng Yan pretended to ponder for a while, then quietly said, "Hmm... Probably add five times to how much you’re earning now."

He Jinxia’s mouth twitched. Currently, she’s at the peak of her popularity. The fees for running promotional activities and participating in shows are much higher than her actual worth.

Once the novelty fades for the netizens, her value will drop.

If she has to multiply by five during her peak, won’t she be even more unable to afford it when she’s not as popular?

Jinxia immediately pushed his face away a bit with her hand, feigning distress, "You’re too expensive, I can’t afford it. I’ve decided—"

She declared aggressively, "I’ll support fresh meat, little wolf dog, little puppy, not a big CEO anymore!"

Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, bent down, and picked her up with ease, saying lightly, "No problem, the big CEO will support you."

He Jinxia looked at him with rejection, "I’m someone with aspirations!"

Sheng Yan smoothly said, "I can be a little wolf dog."

Hmm?

"I can also be a little puppy."

Hmm??

"I can definitely be fresh meat."

Oh, cough cough.

Sheng Yan gazed at her and said quietly, "So you can still afford me."

He Jinxia couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Mr. CEO, where’s your integrity?"

Sheng Yan: "It all dropped off long ago."

He Jinxia silently covered her face, hmm... Sheng Yan should continue being his Mr. CEO obediently.

What’s so fun about fresh meat compared to Mr. CEO, haha~

Ever since the news went public, Sheng Yan’s TV appearances have decreased significantly, cut by half!

Originally, the idol wasn’t the type to work hard; attending an event once a week could make fans cheer, even if it later turned into attending once every two weeks, the Imperial Army barely accepted it.

Unexpectedly, after publicly displaying affections, Sheng Yan turned into attending a show once a month, sometimes not even that! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

For the past few months, the place where he’s appeared most is in the articles about He Jinxia, which made the Imperial Army restless.

They sensed a looming storm.

Some have guessed a cruel reality in their hearts but are unwilling to accept it, so they redirected their unease to Jinxia.

After all, He Jinxia is Sheng Yan’s wife, right?

However, the Imperial Army didn’t invade He Jinxia’s Weibo to bash her as haters. Sheng Yan isn’t getting any younger, and his fans have been urging him to date for quite a while, so even when they publicly announced their marriage, the Imperial Army accepted it faster than the Timekeepers.

With a mindset of loving the house and its crow, the Imperial Army went to Jinxia’s Weibo, and this is how their daily comments look:

[Pang Hu, when will your old man attend a show next?]

[Fat Emperor, why did your husband vanish after making a splash at the wedding at the beginning of the year?]

[Jinxia, don’t work too hard, always running around. Let your husband take the shows; you can enjoy yourself at home while he earns money for you!]

Some savvy Imperial Army members also persuaded Sheng Yan to take on more shows, suggesting the couple join programs together to seize the money-making opportunity!

["We’re in Love" is a reality show designed for newlywed couples, which offers happiness while exploring the essence of marriage and love. You could join!]

[I! Really want! To see! You both! On the show!!]

[Don’t be so modest, be smart, okay? While the heat still lasts, join a few reality show appearances, will you [pitiful][pitiful]]

[You guys are pretty pricey, some reality shows might not afford you, but you can invest in the show and share the profits [whisper] I’m giving you a way to make big money, if you don’t seize it [insightful]]

Besides this, the Timekeepers and the Imperial Army both went to popular reality show official accounts, expressing how much they love and anticipate Sheng Yan and He Jinxia joining, urging the shows to invite them more actively~

Even more, some have come up with crowdfunding ideas just to see them participate in a show together!

He Jinxia has been aware of all these online activities, but she has her considerations.

Their love is very pure, and as public figures, she wants to preserve that purity without making a big fuss.

Since she’s aiming for a skill-based path, apart from her works, she tries to avoid other types of promotion.

Excessive exposure only wears out the fans’ affection for them.

The most crucial point is that from the bottom of her heart, He Jinxia doesn’t want to make her life with Sheng Yan public, as it feels like her most beloved thing getting stolen.

But the more something is hidden and unsaid, the more it stirs curiosity.

The more people can’t attain it, the more they’ll talk about it and be curious about it.

Just after Jinxia finished promoting "Devil’s Sea 4," she returned backstage only to be greeted by an uninvited guest.

"Hello, I’m Zhou Cheng, the director of ’Desired Happy Life.’"

Upon hearing the word "director," He Jinxia has already developed a conditioned reflex, automatically replying before he could finish his sentence, "Thank you for the offer, but I currently have no plans to join any films or programs."

Director Zhou Cheng, who had chased her all the way to the promotional event, was unwilling to leave empty-handed. Sincerely, he said, "I know you’re busy, but would you be willing to give me five minutes to hear the creative idea of my show?

If you really don’t want to join, I will never bother you again. I’m very confident about this show, and if you and Sheng Yan could join, it would definitely attract countless fans!"

The smile on He Jinxia’s face remained unchanged. Ever since she and Sheng Yan went public, she’s heard such lofty promises from no less than dozens of directors.
