My Hubby Can t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 694: Chapter 696: Hype (5)

Xue Feifei looked perplexed. Now that her Weibo was being harshly criticized, wouldn’t it be a problem for her if she didn’t respond? Was she supposed to wait till Chinese New Year?

Yu Sixing, on the other hand, was quite experienced: “Wait a little. We can address it tomorrow.”

Publicity stunts take continuity. Announce the news today, and Huang Mi would come to clarify. If she holds her silence now and speaks tomorrow when everyone has gotten up from their rest, and those who stayed up late craving gossip are still waiting for fresh news, it’ll pique everyone’s interest to a peak.

He would also liaison with the production team to take advantage of the situation and bump up the promotion for the movie in the coming days. During Xue Feifei’s unannounced departure, the team intentionally kept the suspense, a method of creating publicity. Now’s the chance to thrust Xue Feifei back into the spotlight. It would promote both the movie and her, a win-win really.

Naturally, Xue Feifei had no objections. It was already late, and the fuss had become so big while the door was still open, he definitely couldn’t remain in Xue Feifei’s room.

Checking the time — it was two o’clock in the morning, and she had to get up at five! It was simply torture!

She decided to leave things as they were for now as she couldn’t do much about the situation, so she best sleep.

Just as she was about to doze off, a call came through. Xue Feifei was deprived of sleep and quite irritable. But for fear of major trouble brewing, she had to drag herself to answer the call. Turns out, it was Director Zhao on the line, mentioning the morning’s scene wouldn’t be shot, and that everyone would be given some rest before re-starting the shoot in the afternoon.

Director Zhao must have recieved the news, too. In this day and age, big films with considerable investment and huge production are no guarantees of substantial ROI. If they make a loss on one film, the next one would carry several limitations. Now that there’s a chance for publicity, even the director wouldn’t let it pass.

Xue Feifei couldn’t care less. Upon hearing the news, she instantly turned off her alarm clock, and went straight back to sleep.

Just as Yu Sixing anticipated, the next morning, the early sleepers awakened to find explosive news from the previous night, creating a stir.

Weibo collapsed again, mostly due to Huang Mi’s clarification this time; his striking quote about “permanently disappearing from the entertainment circle” stirred quite a bit of excitement, with people clamouring for proof.

However, his issue with Xue Feifei was moot; where were they to get proof from? Only his fanbase was caught up in the heaven-and-hell cycle, even though some indeed defected, while more continued to believe in him.

Of course, Xue Feifei and Du Sui’s Weibo accounts were also besieged. However, after causing such a scene, Du Sui just bought a plane ticket and flew abroad. At that point, he was still on the flight and had no chance to respond. As for Xue Feifei? She was fast asleep.

Xue Feifei was finally awakened close to noon by a phone call. Sleepily fumbling around to find her phone, she saw Lu Weixi’s call: “Are you okay?”

In a somewhat muffled voice, Xue Feifei responded, “Mmm, not up yet.”

Lu Weixi seemed a bit anxious. She probably wasn’t aware of what had happened: “Do you know what’s going on?”

Xue Feifei rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, “Yes, isn’t it just a trending topic?”

“…” Seeing her ability to sleep with a clear conscience, Lu Weixi felt relieved: “If anything happens, let me know.”

Xue Feifei gave a non-committal grunt, hung up the phone ready to continue sleeping, only for yet another call to come through.
