My Evil Genius Wife

After touching up their makeup, the girls went outside to sit with the other artists. As soon as they went outside, the fans who were eagerly waiting for them started to cheer hard when the camera shifted to them and showed them in their majestic stage outfits on the large screens. 

The artists who were looking at the stage were surprised when they heard the deafening cheers from the fan's area. When they looked over, they saw that The Knights were now back after their performance and were taking their seats on one of the tables that were reserved for them. 

Rin Rin frowned to see The Knights smiling and waving to their fans. All the veteran artists were looking in their way and some even shook hands with them. 

They're just rookies, why are they getting so much attention? None of the senior artists acknowledged them and only nodded at them in passing in exchange for their greetings. However, they're going out of the way to shake hands with The Knights and were even having small talks with them.

What is so special about them? She still can't get it. 

Xu Nuan was standing in the corner and watched as the girls took their seats. Since she is their manager, she can't go and sit with them since it will be on the camera. 

However, standing in the corner was making her feel weird too. There was a time when she used to sit there, between everyone else, but now she was standing away from them, away from the camera. 

She always wanted to try doing this kind of work at least once but she never thought that this would be so soon. She was planning to start her company in some years but seems like things were meant to be this way. 

As she was lost in her thoughts, she was startled by loud applause that woke her up from her daze. She looked towards the stage and realized that the hosts were going to announce the awards.

[ THE TIME IS OVER. SINCE WE'RE APPROACHING THE END OF THE SHOW, IT'S TIME TO ANNOUNCE THE MOST ANTICIPATED AWARDS OF THE NIGHT!!] The MC announced. 

[WE'RE NOW GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE POPULAR AWARDS OF THE NIGHT- PEOPLE'S BEST CHOICE AWARDS, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, AND THE LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, SONG OF THE YEAR. WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME THE GREAT MUSICIAN AND SOLOIST, MR. HAN LIANG TO ANNOUNCE THE AWARDS. PLEASE GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.]

Rin Rin's expressions lit up to hear that Han Liang is going to give the award to the winner. They have been nominated for rookie of the year and if their group got the award, she will get to talk to him, even if it's for a few minutes. 

Han Liang came up on the stage and stood behind the mic stand while holding a card in his hand. He was wearing the same outfit that he wore earlier while performing and was looking ethereal as ever in black. 

The fangirls were gasping and some were even moaning to see his sculpture-like defined features and jawline. His dark blue eyes were deep and enchanting. Even though they were contact lenses, it was looking heavenly on him, making him look like some immortal. 

" As you can see, the results are in my hand. Are you guys nervous?"

" Well, even if you are, you can't do anything. I am gonna announce the results while taking my sweet time anyway." He joked and showed off the card that he was holding to the audience. 

His teasing comment earned quite a reaction from the fans and other artists who were laughing at his witty way of speaking. 

He paused for a few seconds and looked at the audience with a teasing smile, making them wait for him. He looked at the camera and gave 2-3 shots before moving closer to the mic, " So, it seems like it's finally the time for what I have been called for on the stage."

" The first award that we're going to announce is… People's best choice award. The nominations for the awards are on the screen." He said pointing towards the large screen. 

The nominations were shown on the large screen. For this award, all nominees were the senior artists who were quite popular and had a vast fandom. However, it was only The knights who were only a few months old and didn't even have an official fandom name.

Song Ai clenched her fists nervously and held her breath. Pan Lan saw her flinching and biting her lips in anticipation. She leaned closer, " You know what he is going to say next?"

Song Ai glanced at her and looked at her with a -now-what-do-you-want-kind of gaze. Pan Lan smirked and whispered, " He is gonna say, ' And the winner is The Knights." she laughed while tickling Song Ai on the sides to make her laugh.

[ AND THE PEOPLE'S BEST CHOICE AWARD GOES TO….ANY GUESSES? OKAY, DON'T CURSE ME! THE AWARD GOES TO….THE KNIGHTS!! WOOHOO!!] 

"....."

Song Ai froze upon hearing the announcement. She turned to Pan Lan, who was shocked as well. 

When their frozen expressions were shown on the large screens, people burst into laughter. 

Pan Lan couldn't care about other people laughing at them. She was too shocked to feel embarrassed. She was joking a while ago, but they were not expecting this joke to become the truth. 

"What the…'' Pan Lan murmured under her breath in shock. 

As the award was announced, the stadium was filled with loud applause. While everyone was looking at them with happy gazes, the girls were busy crying and sobbing. 

Xu Nuan, who was standing on the side, wasn't even surprised upon hearing their name. Her gut feeling was telling her that they're going to get the award, and they got it.  They worked so hard after all. They deserve it. 

The girls went on the stage and took the award from Han Liang. They were so lost and nervous that rather than giving a proper speech, Song Ai was crying all the time, meanwhile, Pan Lan was laughing and crying at the same time. 

People were amused to see a new kind of speech. Rather than a formal thanks speech, they were crying and laughing, lightening up others' moods. The fans were swooning over Song Ai who was crying and thanking everyone at the same time. 

How can she look so cute while crying? Everyone wondered. 

  The fans even started to shout when she stopped crying for a moment., " Keep Crying!! Keep Crying!!" 

This hilarious interaction between the girls and the fans made everyone laugh hard. Just like the girls, their fans are crazy as well. 

Rin Rin frowned and clenched her fists while watching everyone clapping for them, " It's just one award. The Rookie of the award is going to be ours." 

She has talked to Wang Meili and asked her to find out through her connections to whom they're going to give the Rookie of the Year. The criteria have been changed in a few years and other than the physical sales and online popularity, they're going to give 40% value to the judges' votes as well. 

She has told her dad that she wants this award and he has also promised her that he will use some strings to make sure that they will get the award. Since Xu Nuan can cheat and force the Knights to debut, can't she use some of her connections as well? 

Moreover, it's their fault for not having the connections.

Just as the girls were about to get off the stage, Han Liang spoke on the mic, " Wait a minute. Don't go down. Let me announce the other awards as well."

The girls looked at him in confusion and anticipation. He laughed, " Don't expect that I am stopping you because you're the award winners. It's so that you all can take a picture together. This will save you from a trip back to the stage later."

Song Ai, who was holding the trophy and was looking at him with pursed her lips and nodded sheepishly. 

He grinned and looked at everyone before announcing, [ IT IS THE HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR JADE AWARDS. WANT TO KNOW WHY?]

[ BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THAT A ROOKIE GROUP WILL BE GETTING BOTH THE MAJOR AWARDS - ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AND SONG OF THE YEAR.] 

Everyone was confused for a moment. Rookie of the year is meant for new artists so there are so many nominees to choose who will be the winner. But the song of the year too? 

The song of the year generally goes to the senior artists. The senior artists who were nominated for this award and were anticipating to win, their expressions fell. 

Rin Rin was elated a while ago, but upon hearing this comment of his, she was speechless. She would have misunderstood that it's them since they're nominated for Rookie of the year. However, only The Knights are the only group who has been nominated for this year's Song of the Year. 

'What the hell? Didn't Wang Meili say that she has talked to the judges and they're planning to vote for them?'

'Was her connections wrong? What the hell?'

[ YES!! YOU ALL GOT IT RIGHT. THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AND SONG OF THE YEAR GOES TO, NONE OTHER THAN, THE KNIGHTS!!] As soon as he announced this, the confetti and the firecrackers went off, brightening the stage.
