Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The two video performances were over. It was time to announce the winner of the Best Actress Award. However, the lights on the stage did not light up for a long time.

The audience waited for a while, but the lights were still dark. In the quiet hall, small discussions began.

At this moment, the host was about to die of anxiety. Just as he was about to go on stage to announce the winner, he subconsciously opened the card in advance and took a look. What he saw shocked him. The card was actually blank and there was no one’s name.

How was I going to broadcast this? The host hurriedly asked the staff to contact the organizers to see what had happened. However, the staff did not return for a long time. Seeing that the scene was starting to become chaotic, the host forced himself to calm down and walked onto the stage.

“Wow, even the lights are charmed by our two beauties’ performance. I believe everyone is looking forward to the results of the Best Actress reveal. Please allow me to keep you in suspense and broadcast a few short videos.”

The large screen on the stage began to play the video that the organizers had prepared.

At this moment, the backstage meeting room was filled with low pressure.

“We have to decide quickly who to give the Best Actress award to. We can’t hesitate anymore. The people outside are dying of anxiety.”

“Sigh, both of them have backgrounds. We can’t afford to offend anyone. This is really difficult for us.”

The managers looked at each other. At that moment, the meeting room door was knocked open and an assistant sent a folder over.

Everyone surrounded her and took a look. Then, their expressions became very ugly. “Why don’t we let Su Yueran win? Her family has already taken action. It’s unreasonable not to give them face.”

On the stage, the host was almost unable to speak. His palms were sweating profusely. At this moment, the staff beside him gestured and the host finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He finally looked at the camera confidently. “Now is the time to reveal the mystery. The person who won this year’s Golden Film Award is Miss Su Yueran!”

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a round of applause. The camera was aimed at Su Yueran. On the big screen, Su Yueran smiled and stood up.

At the same time, a portion of the camera was directed at Xia Wanyuan.

After all, she and Su Yueran had competed for the same position. Su Yueran had obtained it, but Xia Wanyuan had failed. Everyone wanted to see Xia Wanyuan’s reaction.

Unexpectedly, in the camera, Xia Wanyuan did not look disappointed at all. She was talking to Jun Shiling beside her when Jun Shiling reached out and removed the flower by her ear.

[This dog food, emmm, caught me off guard.]

[Why would Xia Wanyuan need this award? She’s probably filming for fun now. It probably has nothing to do with her whether she wins or not.]

On stage, Su Yueran was giving her acceptance speech. She looked at Xia Wanyuan’s seat. “I’m also very grateful to Xia Wanyuan. In the ‘Eldest Princess’ that we just finished filming together, acting with her has improved my acting by quite a bit.”

The host handed the microphone to Xia Wanyuan. “Do you have anything to say about Su Yueran winning the award?”

Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Su Yueran and say simply, “I have nothing to say about her winning with her ability.”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan say that she won the award with her own ability, Su Yueran’s eyes flickered.

To the others, Xia Wanyuan was praising Su Yueran’s acting skills. There was another round of applause in the hall.

“She’s not as good as you,” Jun Shiling said as he approached Xia Wanyuan. He added, “She’s not as good-looking as you.”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes curved up as she looked at Jun Shiling. “Sweet nothings.”

Jun Shiling did not comment. It was fine as long as it was the truth.

The announcement of the Best Actress was the finale tonight. After Su Yueran left the stage, the entire award ceremony gradually came to an end. Jun Shiling accompanied Xia Wanyuan until the end of the ceremony.

“Miss Xia, actually, you acted much better than me.” Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were about to leave when Su Yueran stood up. “I really don’t deserve this award.”

Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Jun Shiling said, “The Lin family has been in the military for their entire lives. The family has always been open and honest. Why did they raise a bunch of cowardly descendants?”

The smile on Su Yueran’s face froze. “CEO Jun.”

Jun Shiling knew that I am from the Lin family?

“Let’s go.” Jun Shiling ignored Su Yueran and hugged Xia Wanyuan’s waist as they walked out.

Xia Wanyuan was not very familiar with the big family factions in Beijing. She looked at Su Yueran curiously. “The Lin family?”

“Mm, Lin Wei’s cousin,” Jun Shiling explained for Xia Wanyuan.

Lin Wei? Xia Wanyuan remembered. “Your rotten romance at the southwest base?”

“…” Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan indifferently. “You’re talking about this again.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. Lin Wei was a straightforward person, unlike Su Yueran.

“Brother Chen, Sister Xia has CEO Jun to pick her up. Can we go back ourselves?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling leave, Lu Li turned around and spoke to Chen Yun.

“Go back, go back. I wonder what gold and silver you have at home. Little girl, you don’t know how to go out and see the world every day. Why are you running home after work?” Chen Yun patted Lu Li’s head in amusement.

“Hehe.” Lu Li smiled with two dimples. She made a face at Chen Yun and ran away.

When Lu Li first stayed in the hotel, she did not know how much money it would cost there in a night. Later on, when she found out about the price of the hotel in Beijing, she was so frightened that she asked Chen Yun for a month’s salary in advance the next day and rented a small house.

It was already very late when the gala ended. Lu Li went to the supermarket to buy a large pile of things and carried them back to the rented house.

Lu Li had a likable personality and was innocent. She had a good relationship with Xuan Sheng’s assistant, who often shared some of Xuan Sheng’s schedule with her.

Hearing that Xuan Sheng was attending a business meeting tonight and had drunk a lot of wine, Lu Li went home and made white fungus soup. She sent it to Xuan Sheng’s hotel at night.

Lu Li carried the soup box and waited in the hotel lobby for half an hour before she finally saw Xuan Sheng, who looked drunk.

Lu Li stood up happily and waved at Xuan Sheng. However, in the next second, the smile on her face collapsed.

Behind Xuan Sheng, a sexy woman who was still bare-legged in the cold winter walked up, held Xuan Sheng’s arm, and winked at him affectionately.

Xuan Sheng looked up and saw the disappointed Lu Li. Her waving hand was still in midair, and the smile in her eyes had not completely disappeared. They were bright and innocent.

Xuan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to hug the sexy woman’s waist. He smiled at her. “Let’s go to my room tonight.”

“Okay, CEO Xuan.” The woman smiled arrogantly. When she passed by Lu Li, she sized up her jeans and sneakers, her eyes filled with mockery.
