All eyes in the audience turned to Lu Yaoyao, and the camera panned to her as well. On the huge screen, her expression shifted from shock and bewilderment to a smile that blossomed across her face. She stood up gracefully, pulling at her skirt hem and walking in high heels onto the stage. As she moved, her long hair swayed slightly against her bare back, rippling with life, making her appear both lively and alluringly sexy.
She stood beside Xu Zhao for a photo with the trophy. The host asked her to give a few words. She took the microphone and spoke very simply.
“This show truly deserved the award! Congratulations!”
He doesn’t talk about his own investments, nor does he take credit for others’ work.
Xu Zhao’s public thanks, perhaps for the general public, signifies a good relationship and strong feelings between the two. But for her, it means far more than that. It was a crucial process where she truly overcame the mental hurdle in her heart, becoming a stronger and more confident person.
This awards ceremony was broadcast live, with almost all first and second-tier celebrities from the entertainment industry in attendance, so it attracted a lot of attention. At this time, the barrage on the screen read, “What kind of fairy friendship is this? So envious.” Fans of the two parties who often quarrel and compare were completely unprepared for the fact that they had such a good relationship. When Xu Zhao was down on his luck, Lu Yaoyao not only didn’t add insult to injury, but also quietly funded him. Both fan bases, especially Lu Yaoyao’s fans, feel that supporting her is worthwhile.
On stage, after several people had finished receiving their awards and were preparing to leave, the host called out again.
“Yao Yao, please wait.”
Xu Shaohua, the director, returned to his seat. Lu Yaoyao stood alone on stage, looking at the host with a puzzled expression.
The host smiled and said; “Leaving Liu Yaoyao on stage, you all must have guessed the reason. Yes, this time we leave no suspense, and directly announce…”
“…This year’s Best Actress award goes to…”
She paused deliberately, and the audience in the stands laughed, but all fell silent, waiting for the host’s enthusiastic voice to bellow out her name: Best Actress of the Year, Lu YaoYao!
Background music starts, and the whole audience erupts in applause. This round of applause is especially loud.
Lu YaoYao was stunned again. All night long, whenever her expression appeared on the giant screen, she would be stunned, looking a bit silly, a kind of adorable silliness.
But this time, she froze. Not from surprise, but… her acceptance speech draft was in the bag on her seat… She had just forgotten to take it out of the bag.
So when Hao Jie and her assistant were moved to tears backstage, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Standing in the center of the stage, she smiled, a typical professional smile.
However, the next second, she was shocked again, stunned.
Because the host shouted, “Next, please welcome Mr. Gu Ruandong, president of Gu’s Group, to award YaoYao.”
The whole audience was in an uproar again, tonight’s award ceremony is so exciting!
Lu Yao looked at Gu Ruandong striding towards her under the spotlight, a moment of stunned silence followed by an overwhelming wave of happiness and touched.
It’s another surprise for her, and she doesn’t even know it yet.
She said, at such an important moment in her life, how could he not be here?
He not only came but also arrived with great seriousness.
I’ve never seen him dressed so formally before. He was wearing a well-tailored custom suit, a crisp white shirt, and his hair was perfectly styled. The only thing that remained characteristic of him was that he wasn’t wearing a tie. The collar of the white shirt was open at the top two buttons, giving him an air of formality with a hint of casualness, not so oppressive.
Lu YaoYao <<<
She’s both crying and laughing. She loves him so much. When she looked at him on stage, her eyes were full of heart-shaped bubbles, not hiding it at all.
However, Gu Ruandong was still putting on a show at this moment. He followed the host’s arrangement, took the trophy from the hands of the etiquette staff behind him, and handed it to Lu Yaoyao. He even feigned a smile and said: “Congratulations!”
Then, after a soft embrace, Lu Yaoyao’s heart fluttered again. She longed to rush into his arms and cling to him tightly.
The two stood side by side, allowing cameras to flash and photographers to capture their image. The cheers from the crowd thundered below, yet Lu Yaoyao felt an uncanny silence wash over her. A silence so profound that she could only perceive the person standing beside her.
After a while, the host signaled that they could go offstage.
Lu Yaoyao didn’t shy away at this moment, very naturally taking Gu Ruandong’s arm and wanting him to escort her off the stage.
But he stood rooted to the spot and then gestured for a microphone from the host, who hurried it over. He took the microphone and said, “Just a moment, I’m sorry to keep you all waiting a few minutes.”
Then she turned and stood face to face with Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Yaoyao today for the first time was stunned speechless, staring at Gu Ruandong.
Gu Ruandong had just seen her expression on the screen backstage. Now, seeing it up close, he couldn’t help but smile as he reached out and tousled her hair before speaking.
“Yao Yao, congratulations on winning the Best Actress award. Your seriousness and hard work have been recognized, this is well-deserved.”
Although on stage, although there were countless audience members and countless media live broadcasts below, Gu Ruandong completely ignored them, his eyes blazing only at the person in front of him.
Lu YaoYao held the trophy in her hands, her eyes shining with stars.
Looking at him, hearing his affirmation, her nose felt a little sour, and her eyes flickered with warmth. She always hoped that in his heart, she was more than just a coquettish spoiled child, more than a pampered willful girl. She was also someone who worked seriously, loved life, had her own pursuits, and could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. So his affirmation meant more to her than this trophy.
A good love, perhaps, is like this: because the other person is good enough, you want to become a better person. She is like that, and so is Gu Ruandong.
After a pause of several seconds, he continued:
“Yaoyao, what I want to say today is thank you for appearing in my life. Every time I stood at a crossroads facing choices, it was you who guided me in the right direction, leading me to the light.”
He said, looking at the girl’s slightly puzzled eyes, and added.
“From the time you were little to now, without your knowing.”
In fact, unbeknownst to himself, it was that spark of light within his heart that silently guided his path, letting him know he wasn’t as bad as he thought and that he hadn’t gone so far astray that there was no turning back.
“Yao Yao, I love you. It’s not a passing whim, nor is it infatuation. I want you to be the eternal lighthouse in my life, Yao Yao. Will you?”
It’s more like a proposal than a request.
She is a public figure, so he is willing to stand in the spotlight for her and tell the world about his love for her, without any need for hiding.
Lu Yaoyao, who wasn’t usually so forward, heard him ask: “Would you be the lighthouse in my life forever?”
She didn’t care about the audience below or the viewers online. She immediately rushed into his arms and, in his ear, only …
In a voice he could hear, he answered: Willing, willing.
Gu Ruandong gently supported her, then leaned down to confirm, “So now we’re officially girlfriend and boyfriend?”
“Yes.” Lu Yaoyao answered this time with certainty, and in her mind she thought, You can be even bolder, you’re the future Mrs. Gu.
