The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 516 - Home Is Wherever We're Together

Although many reporters and fans came, the press conference was kept short. The questions were also strictly monitored by the big bosses of Bright Summit and the other management companies. If there was a question that they didn't like, it was shot down immediately.

As a result, most of the questions focused on the film "Strong Yet Broken" itself and everyone's experience participating in the Sommet International Film Festival. There were also more questions targeted to both Jennie and Yin Mei, specifically about the two awards that they won. Their beautiful trophies were even brought out for everyone to admire.

Despite the management companies' tight control on the questions, there were still some bold reporters who risked it and asked personal questions, mostly for Jennie.

"Jennie Kim, we want to know more about your relationship with CEO Manoban. Are the two of you living together under the same roof?"

"When is the wedding?"

"Are you pregnant? Or do you already have a baby together, that's why you plan on marrying?"

Bright Summit's boss and Alison were about to stop the reporters from asking these questions, but Jennie assured them with a silent look. She maintained her calm and pleasant expression.

"Lisa and I will be granting interviews as a couple another time. You can ask those questions, then. But for now, I would like to request everyone to please focus on our film, 'Strong Yet Broken'. This press conference is for all of us involved in the film, isn't it? It's not meant for me alone."

There were still a few insistent personal questions but Jennie didn't budge. The reporters couldn't force her to answer, so they could only give up...for now. They were already looking forward to her promise that she and Lisa would grant interviews as a couple. Each of them was hoping that they would be the ones chosen to interview the two together. The interview would surely be a hit.

The press conference ended with a resounding success. The big bosses of Bright Summit and the other management companies were pleased at the publicity for their artists.

Later, Jennie and the others bid goodbye to the crowd. Then the owner of the private airport led them to the in-house restaurant. The high-class restaurant was booked only for them today. It was already afternoon. Everyone was hungry, especially for those of them who arrived from France that morning.

Lunch was a sumptuous and luxurious feast. The airport owner and the bosses of the management companies paid for it. They went all out to celebrate the triumphant return of Jennie, Yin Mei and everyone from the "Strong Yet Broken" team.

Late in the afternoon, everyone was finally allowed to go home. Jennie, who looked refreshed and glowing in the morning when they landed, now showed exhaustion and weariness on her beautiful face. Inside the car, Lisa embraced his baby girl and kissed her forehead.

"Hon, I'm tired," she murmured.

"I know, love. You worked hard today," he told her while stroking her long hair with his hand.

"But I'm happy."

He looked at her face. Indeed, she looked happy.

"Me, too," he said.

"Really?"

"En. I'm very happy that everyone finally knows that you're mine. I've been waiting for this moment for what feels like a long time."

They gazed into each other's eyes, soft smiles making the corners of their mouths curve upwards. The love they had for each other felt like it only grew stronger once it was revealed to the world.

"I can't wait to be home," she said.

"We're already home," he replied.

A furrow formed between her brows as she looked outside. "No, we're not. The mansion is still quite far away."

He tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear before saying, "Home is wherever we're together. Regardless of the place or the country, I feel at home as long as you're with me."

Warm and fuzzy feelings flooded Jennie's heart. She grabbed Lisa's head with both hands and gave him a loud, smacking kiss on the mouth. As a result, a wide stupid grin broke out of his face.

"Yes, hon. You're right."

"En, I know."

Then the two grinned at each like stupid idiots, drowning the driver and the other subordinate in the front seat with pure, unadulterated dogfood. The two poor single dogs could only cry inside their hearts.

The next morning, Jennie and Lisa felt refreshed after having a good night's sleep. It was their final day off before returning to their busy schedules again.

Tomorrow would be the official launch of Jennie's company, Orchidia Beauty. All preparations had been completed. Jennie wished that it was the next day already so that she could finally witness the results of her hard work.

Today, however, the couple decided to pay their respects to both of their families. First, they would eat lunch with Chitthip and Grandma at the Manoban Family's Old House. Grandma had flown down from her mountain estate to stay with Chitthip. Then later that evening, the couple would head to the Kim ancestral residence to dine with Jihoon, Jia and Alice for supper.

Jennie and Lisa brought along souvenirs from the French Riviera. The two had been busy attending events almost everyday during the Sommet International Film Festival. They didn't have the time to go shopping for souvenirs at all. It was Lisa's French butler who took it upon himself to buy appropriate souvenirs for both of their families.

In addition, Chaerin also bought many things during her multiple shopping trips. She gave a small mountain of her purchases to Jennie and Lisa, instructing them to give everything to Chitthip and Grandma. As a viscountess, Chaerin was trying to become a magnanimous person, so she also bought two small keychains—tiny, to be exact—for Jihoon and Jia. How generous of her! As expected of a viscountess!

The couple only smiled at Chaerin's "generosity" to her ex-husband and his third wife. Lisa took a seventy-year old vintage cognac from his own cellar at the mansion to give to Jihoon, while Jennie packed a huge Orchidia Beauty gift basket for Jia in order to make up for the big difference in the number of souvenirs between the two families because of Chaerin.
