What legitimate married couple engages in shipping themselves for publicity?

Although Lu Ye had learned a little about the entertainment industry because of Jiang Sui, his knowledge was limited to the scandals surrounding her.
He had only started watching livestreams when Jiang Sui appeared on a parent-child variety show.
There were still plenty of entertainment-industry terms he did not understand.
But when he saw the words “Qin-Sui” together, he found them painfully jarring.
Xie Yuan glanced at the comments, then waved toward the outside and called a female secretary in.
Although Xie Yuan was Lu Ye’s personal secretary, the company also had secretaries responsible for reception and general affairs.
“Brother Xie?” the secretary asked quietly, puzzled as she entered.
Xie Yuan said, “Explain to the boss what the Qin-Sui couple means.”
The moment she heard “Qin-Sui couple,” the secretary’s eyes lit up.
Was it the one she thought it was?!
Lu Ye also turned his gaze toward her.
The sheer force of his presence immediately made her afraid to move her hands or feet carelessly.
She stole a glance at the iPad in front of the boss. The sight of Jiang Sui and Qin Ze standing together instantly sent a thrill through her entire body.
Even so, she did her best to maintain her composure.
Ahhhhh! It was New Year’s for couple fans!
They were finally in the same frame! They were finally in the same frame! The couple she shipped had finally appeared together!

She put on a calm expression and began explaining to the boss.
“CP can mean partners, or it can mean a romantic couple… In short, it refers to two people paired together. When people think two people are incredibly well matched, they use the term CP.”
Lu Ye frowned, and his expression visibly turned colder.
The secretary continued, “The Qin-Sui couple is a pairing the internet has been shipping lately. It refers to Qin Ze and Jiang Sui. They had never appeared in the same frame before, but after Qin Ze took the initiative to explain what happened on set last time on Jiang Sui’s behalf, people started shipping them. Then someone dug up a few behind-the-scenes clips from their recent filming of Palace Soliloquy. They’re such a perfect match…”
The more excited the secretary became, the more urgently Brother Xie gestured at her, shaking his head over and over. Only then did she finally stop.
Once she fell silent, she realized…
Why had it suddenly become so cold?
She instinctively rubbed her arms, then looked up and saw the boss’s grim face.
“…”
She hoped she had not just said anything to upset the boss.
Xie Yuan hurriedly said, “Xiaowen, go downstairs and get back to work.”
“Oh, all right.” She nodded at Lu Ye, then turned and left.
The moment she stepped out of the office, she could no longer contain her delight.
Sob, sob—who could understand?!
Who could understand that the obscure couple she had been shipping lately was appearing on the same variety show?!
She practically wanted to fly back and savor every little scrap of sweetness.
At that moment, Xie Yuan almost wished he were anywhere but there.
Did Xiaowen really not understand why the company had bought the products endorsed by the madam?

“So they think the two of them are a couple?” Lu Ye’s voice carried a hint of cold displeasure.
Xie Yuan smiled. “Boss, that’s just how the entertainment industry is. It’s perfectly normal. Everyone loves shipping people together. Netizens will ship absolutely anyone—there are all kinds of bizarre pairings. The madam is so beautiful, so it’s only natural… perfectly natural…”
Lu Ye raised his head and looked at him. “You seem to know a lot about this.”
Xie Yuan: “…”
What did he know? He had only started paying attention to the entertainment industry recently because of the madam, and learned the meaning of a few relevant terms.
But he would never dare explain that to the boss himself.
That would be courting death.
“I know a little. Just a little…” Xie Yuan replied.
Lu Ye watched Qin Ze walk over to Jiang Sui, his gaze icy.
After a moment of silence, he said in a low, cold voice, “Starting today, think carefully about how to promote a couple image for me and my wife.”
Xie Yuan: “…”
This…
Wasn’t that a little inappropriate?
Who had ever heard of a respectable married couple promoting themselves as a celebrity pairing?
