CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: TO PLEASE MY HUSBAND

After Zoe Chandler finished her half-hour-long explanation, the so-called instructions finally came to an end.

Natalie Vaughn was frowning and clutching her phone tightly. Every time she saw a red dot, she eagerly tapped on it, only to shift from full anticipation to complete disappointment.

"Dog man."

"..."

Natalie grumbled out loud, without realizing that her reaction had already greatly shocked the two guests at home.

The Assistant: So this beauty is already in a relationship? Are new artists this fierce nowadays?

Zoe: Deserving of being President Langdon’s sister-in-law, her aura is unmatched.

Seeing the assistant’s mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg, Zoe gently coughed to remind her.

"Does Miss Vaughn have something on her mind now?"

Natalie’s eyelids drooped, disappointment evident as she tossed the phone aside and shook her head.

"No, you continue, just call me Nina,"

It’s best not to be so distant when they’ll be spending two months together.

Zoe instantly agreed.

"Alright, Nina."

The assistant quickly followed suit.

"Nina."

Her voice was sweet and soft, making Natalie glance her way.

Natalie’s eyes darted around before she straightened up and winked at the assistant.

"What’s your name?"

"Nina, my name is Summer Churchill."

"Summer Churchill."

Natalie repeated once.

"Good name, is it okay if I call you Summer?"

Summer’s eyes flickered, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Of course."

Seeing the genuine little rabbit trembling slightly before her, sympathy rose in Natalie’s heart. Naturally, this sympathy from Natalie transformed into teasing.

"Summer, do you have a boyfriend?"

Summer shook her head.

"N... not yet."

"Then how about Nina sets you up with a boyfriend?"

Summer: !!!!!!!!

She frantically shook her head.

"Nina, I don’t want to be in a relationship right now. I want to focus on my career first."

Natalie raised an eyebrow, tapping her chin, pretending to think.

"So, Summer, are you saying you can’t have a career if you have a man? Should I kick my dog man to the curb?"

Summer: !!!!!!!!

She didn’t mean it like that.

Summer was on the verge of tears.

"Nina..."

Too frightened, her voice trembled, and Summer looked to Zoe for help.

Zoe, having already noticed the playful gleam in Natalie’s eyes, patted Summer’s shoulder comfortingly.

"Your Nina is just teasing you."

Natalie laughed along, not intending to scare such a cute assistant on the first day.

"Summer is just adorable. Don’t worry, I’m easy to get along with."

Summer: ...

Since they were talking about men, Zoe gave a brief rundown of the current online situation.

"Currently, the collaboration between your personal account and Theodore Langdon is a hit. The company has already released news that you will play the third female lead in ’Rising Monarch,’ and Theodore has reposted it on Weibo. People have started shipping you two as a couple."

"I’ve created a new Weibo account for you and finished the verification. The account will generally be run by the team."

Zoe paused.

"If you want, you can also post daily updates to attract followers."

Upon hearing this, Natalie, who had been uninterested all along, finally perked up.

She handed the phone over, and Zoe logged into the account.

"She" had already posted five Weibo updates, each about preparations for joining the crew.

Natalie found the CP super-topic section for her and Theodore, looking at tweet after tweet, her smile never fading.

The CP name for her and Theodore was "The Honey Couple," deriving from Theodore’s English name "Henry" and her "Vaughn."

The two were dubbed "female 1 male 0" by CP fans due to Theodore’s clumsiness in learning karate, suggesting Natalie could easily overpower him.

Theodore once said on Weibo that he wanted to perform a fight scene at a concert, to which fans replied: "Are you here to show us how you fall? It’d be more reasonable to have your sister-in-law perform."

...

Similar experiences.

Natalie glanced at the super-topic’s popularity. Although not too high due to the small fan base, it wasn’t too low either.

Mainly because Theodore himself had huge traffic and once personally visited the super-topic to post a Weibo: "Ladies, if you keep shipping us, I’ll get beaten to death."

Upon seeing this Weibo, Natalie laughed out loud.

The fans thought Theodore feared being beaten to death by her, but only Natalie knew that Theodore feared being beaten to death by Zane Thorne.

Natalie pondered and asked.

"Is Theodore just letting them ship the CP?"

In theory, like many new-generation idols, Theodore should avoid CP pairing since most of his fans are career-oriented or girlfriend-oriented fans.

But since Theodore was in the hip-hop circle, his fans were generally more tolerant compared to other new-generation idols.

"That side is unwilling, and Theodore’s manager has approached me twice, but President Langdon said it’s all up to our side, so it’s your call."

Natalie nodded slightly.

"Should I just post on Weibo now?"

Zoe: ...

"What kind of content?"

"Can’t pair CP, Theodore will get beaten to death by my man."

Zoe: ...

Summer: ...

"Ahem, it shouldn’t be that blunt. Just state that you two are friends."

As long as Natalie posts on Weibo, Theodore’s team will definitely hurry to clarify.

Natalie arched an eyebrow, her slender fingers dancing across the screen.

"Done."

With a smile, Natalie took a screenshot of the Weibo post and also shared it on her social media circle.

The caption read: "Actor Vaughn checking in!"

Gazing at Natalie’s smile, Zoe suddenly felt uneasy, quickly pulling out her phone to check Weibo.

"..."

Natalie directly posted her wedding photo and tagged Theodore.

The caption read: He has to call me sis. If you keep shipping our CP, beware that my darling husband might beat him up~

What a way to dismantle a CP.

As a newcomer, just about to join the crew, she announced her marriage publicly on Weibo, personally tearing down her own CP.

Natalie was undeniably a one-of-a-kind spectacle in the entertainment industry.

Zoe’s heart raced uncontrollably. She hadn’t expected all of Natalie’s focus to be on the entertainment industry, but she sincerely wanted to build her up.

The previous leadership’s endeavors had barely begun, yet here, Natalie had tossed a boulder onto the entertainment world path.

Cannot say it completely blocked the way, but it indeed blocked it mostly.

Zoe could only laugh through tears. Three minutes prior, she fantasized about shaping Natalie into a superstar.

Now, she understood perfectly: Natalie had absolutely no intentions of conquering the entertainment industry.

Even though Natalie was a newcomer, such a bold move was unprecedented in the industry, especially since the other party was a major influential figure; within minutes, the Weibo post trended.

Half an hour later, it became the top trend.

Zoe, busier than ever, was on calls communicating across various fronts.

Summer, on the other hand, was completely stunned by Natalie’s actions.

"Nina, you’re too... awesome."

Sincerely, she gave a thumbs-up.

"Is that all awesomeness is?"

Natalie raised an eyebrow.

"Summer, you’ll eventually be swayed by my charm."

She was used to daring moves; when scrolling through Weibo, she noticed many of Theodore’s girlfriend fans hurling insults her way, with unpleasant language.

Since when did the Vaughn Family’s young lady endure such grievances?

Her presence in the entertainment industry was just for amusement, and she intended to have fun.

Besides, she posted this Weibo not merely to dismantle the CP.

She aimed to please her husband.
