CHAPTER 175

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked up in astonishment.

The pressure on the security team doubled, and the captain's alert voice immediately came through their walkie-talkies.

The media reporters fell silent for a moment, then erupted into commotion. They jostled and raised their cameras, frantically capturing every frame and micro-expression of Qin Yinong on the stage.

Even inside the venue, through a corridor, one could faintly sense the restlessness outside.

Many people turned their heads to look.

Tang Ruoyao knew that only Qin Yinong was left behind her, so she had been paying close attention to the commotion outside.

What was happening?

One of the on-site directors frowned, picked up the phone, seemingly inquiring about the situation outside. Afterwards, her face changed slightly, unable to determine whether it was anger or joy. She temporarily abandoned her on-site coordination and rushed out directly, taking a few staff members with her.

Celebrities are also very gossipy. The stars inside the venue gathered in twos and threes, and a subtle buzz of discussion arose.

They were mostly asking what was going on, but no one knew what had happened.

Tang Ruoyao was anxious, clutching her fingers tightly, occasionally looking towards the entrance.

Outside the venue, on the red carpet, on the stage.

The host was greatly surprised, wide-eyed and tongue-tied. She said, "L-loved..." She swallowed her saliva, her mind blank, instinctively retracting the words that were about to come out. But no matter what, she didn't know what she should ask.

Her career as a host encountered its first stumbling block on the Golden Magnolia Awards red carpet.

A few seconds later, the host struggled to adjust the muscles on her face and forced a smile, saying, "Congratulations."

Qin Yinong smiled, her eyes curved, and graciously accepted, "Thank you."

Host: "..." No, how was she supposed to continue with this?

Fortunately, Qin Yinong helped her out in the end. She tactfully supplemented, exaggerating it lightly, and smilingly said, "I actually got married four years ago and haven't told everyone until now." She clasped her hands together, making a gesture of apology, "I hope it's not too late to announce it now."

Her natural charm was irresistible. When she showed vulnerability, her peach blossom eyes slightly drooped, revealing a faint shimmer, charming and captivating. Regardless of gender, people couldn't help but feel a natural affection for her.

The host was not an entertainment reporter, so even if she was curious, she wouldn't relentlessly pry into Qin Yinong's private life in such a significant live broadcast occasion, especially since Qin Yinong had helped her out twice.

She smoothly took the baton handed over by Qin Yinong and smiled, "Of course, it's not too late. I hope that Qin Yinong, as the Golden Laurel Award's Best Actress, will has a pleasant night, and I'm sure your loved one will be happy for you."

......

The journalists and friends beside the red carpet were grinding their teeth. Who wouldn't want to possess the host's soul at this moment? However, they could only console themselves that there would be backstage interviews.

Qin Yinong gracefully walked through the red carpet and into the venue, with a graceful and elegant demeanor.

The red carpet ended, and until Qin Yinong's red dress disappeared from sight, the crowd couldn't get enough and packed up their cameras. They swiftly retreated into their respective cars as if lightning had struck their ears. Alternatively, they opened their notebooks on the roadside, their eyes gleaming, and began writing news articles in a race against time.

This scene naturally unfolded in front of the millions of viewers watching the live broadcast on their screens.

Including the people at Qin's residence.

Tang Fei blushed when he heard it. He didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so impressive, directly declaring "my loved one." He didn't know if his sister had heard it or if she would be so happy that she would faint.

Ningning blinked innocently, asking, "What does 'loved one' mean?"

The two old ladies exchanged glances, and Ji Shulan looked at Tang Fei.

Tang Fei was just a half-grown child, and he was also shy. He stumbled and explained, "A loved one is... what married people call each other, calling each other 'loved one.'"

Ningning said, "So did Mom and Auntie Tang get married?"

Tang Fei collapsed inwardly, thinking: How would I know? My sister didn't tell me!

He guessed and said, "Probably?" Didn't his sister-in-law call his sister 'loved one'?

Tang Fei nodded vigorously, "Yes, they got married!"

Ningning lowered her little head and quietly pondered the matter.

......

The Golden Magnolia Awards hadn't even started yet, and the press releases comparing the female stars on the red carpet hadn't been released. The first explosive hot search emerged out of nowhere, firmly occupying the top spot, followed by a conspicuous "bombshell."

[Qin Yinong got married four years ago]

The audience before the live broadcast rushed to the frontlines to witness the spectacle.

[Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, holy sh*t, I'm speechless]

[When she gave birth before, I was thinking, stars are truly magical. They're usually so quiet, and you don't even know when they get pregnant, but suddenly, they can have multiple children. I was so naive. She got married just like that, shocking my entire family]

[Who was she with four years ago?]

[If she got married so long ago, why are there still so many rumors about her? Is her husband okay with it?]

[Maybe she found a younger man like Tang Ruoyao did? Just playing around, her husband probably has no say in it]

[Gossip is gossip, why drag Tang Tang into this? I,  Tang Tang, I'm unique, don't involve me, thank you]

Qin Yinong's fans, the Empresses, were not just heartbroken, they felt utterly hopeless.

What? Your idol has been exposed to have a boyfriend / girlfriend? Our idol, in front of the entire nation, suddenly announced her marriage! Isn't that amazing? Aren't we miserable? Fans are truly miserable.

But as soon as the news came out, fans immediately sought various sources to confirm who Qin Yinong's husband is.

An Ling's phone has exploded.

She's busy and overwhelmed, but her mood has never been better.

After suppressing her grievances for so many years, she can finally lift her head high.

But that's a story for later, to be narrated in the future.

At this moment, Qin Yinong has already entered the venue. She took the pen handed to her by the staff, walked to the signing board, glanced at it, and found Tang Ruoyao's name among the densely packed names.

She calmly withdrew her gaze, signed her own name gracefully, and politely returned the pen.

The award ceremony hasn't started yet, it's currently a time for greetings. Qin Yinong found a few veteran actors, actresses, and directors to have a low conversation, exchanging recent updates.

A wave of young influencers, some busy with their phones, others sitting in their assigned seats, seemed a bit lost.

The news about Qin Yinong has already reached from outside. Qin Yinong ignored the curious and scrutinizing gazes, but some nearby individuals, who had a relationship with her, enthusiastically asked, "When did you get married? You kept it so secret, not a single hint leaked."

Qin Yinong maintained a consistent response, "It's been several years." She smiled shyly at the right moment.

A female friend gently punched her shoulder and scolded, "How come you didn't send us an invitation? That's not nice."

Qin Yinong made a pleading gesture and said softly, "I'll treat you to a meal later, and I'll make sure to give you wedding candies, alright?"

Being insiders of the industry, they understood the difficulties of this profession, and their friends weren't really angry. They gave her a way out.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Not far away from the crowd, there was a woman standing, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes. She appeared a few years older than Qin Yinong, also dressed in a striking red outfit, with an updo and overlapping pearl necklaces on her neck. Her delicate makeup and the years bestowed her with an elegant composure, but those around her instinctively kept their distance.

Jokingly, who doesn't know that Hao Meihua and Qin Yinong are arch-rivals? Those who didn't know were enlightened on the spot.

In ancient times, there was Zhang Fei, while Liu Bei was alive. In modern times, there was Nan Murong, why not Bei Qiaofeng. Hao Meihua is that Murong Fu.

[The references to Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Nan Murong, and Bei Qiaofeng are allusions to characters from Chinese historical and fictional stories.

1. Zhang Fei and Liu Bei: They are prominent figures from the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Zhang Fei is a fierce warrior known for his loyalty and bravery, while Liu Bei is a noble and charismatic leader. The phrase "既生瑜，何生亮" (jì shēng yú, hé shēng liàng) is a line from the novel, meaning "If Zhang Fei was born, why wasn't Liu Bei?" It implies that when there's a remarkable person, another exceptional individual naturally arises.

2. Nan Murong and Bei Qiaofeng: These characters are from the martial arts novel "The Return of the Condor Heroes" by Jin Yong. Nan Murong is a skilled martial artist known for his cunning and schemes, while Bei Qiaofeng is a talented swordsman. The comparison between them and the situation between Qin Yinong and Hao Meihua suggests a rivalry or conflict between two formidable individuals.

The references highlight the intense competition and enmity between Qin Yinong (the protagonist) and Hao Meihua (her rival) in a manner reminiscent of the rivalries portrayed in these classic works.]

Hao Meihua and Qin Yinong debuted at the same time, and their grievances can be described as lingering until the end of the world. Both of them are outstanding actresses, frequently nominated together for the Best Actress category in the three most prestigious Chinese film awards. Hao Meihua repeatedly lost, with only one victory when Qin Yinong didn't participate, which the media sarcastically called a "consolation prize," leaving Hao Meihua's reputation in tatters.

Since then, Hao Meihua has regarded Qin Yinong as a thorn in her side, wishing to get rid of her. Qin Yinong owes her reputation to Hao Meihua.

When Hao Meihua learned that Qin Yinong would be attending the award ceremony, she ignored the advice of her manager and stylist and deliberately wore a dress of the same color as Qin Yinong's. She wanted to overshadow her on the red carpet and show everyone who the true shining star was.

However, to her surprise, the organizers insisted on having Qin Yinong as the finale. She didn't even get to see Qin Yinong's face and felt as if she had punched cotton, full of frustration.

Her eyes flickered, and her assistant stood beside her, trembling with fear.

She was starting to blame Qin Yinong. Why did she have to make an appearance after such a long time, and why did she win the Best Actress award again, publicly slapping Hao Meihua's face?

The media would undoubtedly make a fuss tomorrow, with headlines like "Qin Yinong Wins Best Actress Again, Hao Meihua Shows Displeasure in Public." This kind of drama happened every year, and anyone in that position would feel angry.

"Meihua, please..." Her assistant pleaded with her, trying to salvage the situation.

Hao Meihua responded with a forced smile, tilting her head slightly.

Her assistant sighed inwardly and carefully adjusted the hem of her dress. Hao Meihua raised her long neck, and the high-quality pearl necklace shimmered with a bright and captivating luster, complementing her radiant and fair complexion.

"Yinong, long time no see."

Qin Yinong had noticed Hao Meihua earlier but maintained a neutral attitude, not intending to greet her. However, since Hao Meihua took the initiative, Qin Yinong didn't want to be impolite and smiled, saying, "It has been a while for you too."

The two of them embraced warmly, and those around who knew the situation showed no change in their expressions.

The entertainment industry is both vast and small. You see familiar faces when you lift your head and encounter conflicts behind the scenes, but everyone maintains a harmonious facade. It's an unspoken rule for survival.

As soon as the two of them met, several cameras on-site turned towards them, capturing their images.

The live broadcast also began to stir, with the barrage eagerly commenting.

[Witnessing the clash of the titans! The organizers know how to play.]

[Why am I so delighted to see these big stars, seemingly calm but actually turbulent underneath?]

[Catfights between big stars are the most entertaining. Their scandals are real, unlike those small-time stars who only engage in petty conflicts.]

[Hao Meihua must be eating her heart out seeing Qin Yinong here. Hahaha!]

Hao Meihua let go of the embrace and revealed an exaggerated smile. She warmly held Qin Yinong's hand and greeted, "I heard you got married?"

Qin Yinong calmly withdrew her hand and replied straightforwardly, "Yes."

Hao Meihua let out a soft "ah" and asked, "Is it someone we know? From the industry or outside?"

Qin Yinong pretended not to hear and acted ignorant, treating straightforwardness as emotional intelligence. This remark, even if it were placed between the two of them who had nothing but animosity, let alone those who were friends with Qin Yinong just now, they were accustomed to reading between the lines and quickly skipped over this topic.

She had offended Qin Yinong.

Qin Yinong initially wanted to come up with an excuse, but she realized she didn't need to waste her breath on Hao Meihua. Regardless, they would never be able to get along. Qin Yinong simply curved her lips and smiled, confusing Hao Meihua.

Qin Yinong slightly parted her red lips and softly said, "What does it have to do with you?"

Her words carried no sharpness or sarcasm, just a plain gaze and a plain tone, stating a matter that was nothing out of the ordinary.

Hao Meihua: "You..." She was caught off guard and couldn't react in time.

The people around were also stunned.

Was this still the gentle and good-tempered Qin Yinong who got along well with everyone? Did she take the wrong medicine today?

After Qin Yinong dropped those words, she bid a simple farewell to the onlookers, smiled lightly, and walked away gracefully.

The barrage exploded.

[Oh my god, did Qin Yinong amplify her presence? How come Hao Meihua just stood there dumbfounded after a few words?]

[Does anyone know how to read lips? I need a Level 10 lip-reading expert!]

[Me, me, me! It seemed like she said: 'What does it have to be with you.']

[Haha, she's so fierce! Qin Yinong truly lives up to her name. How did she suddenly gain a fan base?]

[They've always had a big gap, whether it's awards or popularity. How many times has Hao Meihua subtly mocked Qin Yinong, both publicly and privately? Qin Yinong didn't bother with her, but now she's giving her a taste of her own medicine.]

Hao Meihua was furious!

How dare Qin Yinong treat her with such an attitude!

She forcefully brushed off her assistant's hand and walked swiftly towards the seat the organizers had arranged for her, her face turning pale with anger, like a vengeful deity, stopping gods and killing Buddhas.

People on the road retreated one after another, and Tang Ruoyao felt a slight push on her back. At that moment, she happened to be facing away from Hao Meihua, standing in the aisle. She was engaged in a conversation with an actor she had worked with before when she suddenly felt a force colliding with her shoulder. She couldn't maintain her balance and uncontrollably stumbled forward. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed onto the backrest of a seat, while another actor quickly reached out to hold her, asking with concern, "Are you okay, Tang Tang?"

"I'm fine," Tang Ruoyao stabilized herself and replied.

Hao Meihua stopped in her tracks and turned around. Although she was a bit arrogant, she had boundaries and wouldn't go so far as to harm innocent people. She should apologize for her mistake.

The words "I'm sorry" were already on the tip of Hebe Tien's tongue, but when she saw Tang Ruoyao's face, she swallowed them back and sneered, "Oh, it's you."

Tang Ruoyao remembered their past conflict.

At last year's Golden Laurel Awards ceremony, she won Best Actress, and Hao Meihua was one of the presenters. Because Tang Ruoyao lost focus and directly accused Hao Meihua of "not being focused enough and being complacent with her achievements," Hao Meihua retaliated against Tang Ruoyao after the awards ceremony.

The media said that Hao Meihua became a film queen by taking advantage of Qin Yinong's absence, and Tang Ruoyao, at such a young age, won the award without even being fully present. Shouldn't she settle the score with Tang Ruoyao?

Tang Ruoyao had no intention of getting into a feud with her and respectfully lowered her head, saying, "Senior still remembers me, it's my honor."

She showed a humble attitude and gave Hao Meihua face.

Hao Meihua snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Tang Ruoyao looked in the direction Hebe Tien had come from and saw Qin Yinong's previous location. Did they have a dispute? Qin Yinong always smiled at everyone and seemed indifferent to everything. Hao Meihua was so unbridled, could it be that Qin Yinong didn't let her get away with it?

But Hao Meihua left in anger, so it didn't seem like she had the upper hand.

Could it be that Qin Yinong turned the tables and bullied her? That couldn't be possible, unless the sun rose from the west.

Tang Ruoyao was eager to know the truth. Her gaze wandered around the lobby, and her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Yinong talking to Han Yuping. She had also worked with Han Yuping, so it would be reasonable to go and greet them.

Did Qin Yinong want to meet her? That's why she specifically found Han Yuping. Tang Ruoyao's heart fluttered slightly.

She bid farewell to her old friend in front of her, lifted her skirt, and walked in that direction, her heartbeat slowly accelerating.

"I invited you to my house for a meal before, but you kept refusing, saying you were recuperating from an illness. Now that you're better, if you still don't come, I'll be angry," Han Yuping said with a straight face. "Bring that person and Ningning along. I have some questions for you. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Qin Yinong elongated her voice and responded with a smile. If her coquettishness was evident to the outside world, it became a natural display of a daughter's charm in front of Han Yuping.

Especially since they started dating, it had become increasingly apparent.

Han Yuping sighed in his heart: That familiar old dog seemed to be getting farther away, which was great.

"Director Han," Tang Ruoyao stood three steps away, speaking respectfully with a hint of shyness and nervousness in her eyes.

Her girlfriend and her girlfriend's father were both present, how could she remain calm?

"Xiaotang, come here." Han Yuping, as a father-in-law, looked at his daughter-in-law and found her more and more pleasing to the eye. He revealed a smile that had never been seen in front of Qin Yinong.

Qin Yinong held onto Han Yuping's arm with both hands, unwilling to let go, and said, "Uncle~"

Goosebumps appeared on Han Yuping's skin, and the folds on the sides of his nose trembled. He gently reprimanded, "Speak in proper language."

Qin Yinong's laughter was light and pleasant to the ears.

Tang Ruoyao felt a tingling sensation in her ears, as if feathers were tickling her, making her feel soft and numb. She restrained herself from gazing at Qin Yinong and approached shyly, saying, "Teacher Qin."

Qin Yinong's gaze narrowed slightly. "We meet again, Teacher Tang."

It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to be close, it was just who she naturally was. Tang Ruoyao also understood her attitude towards herself at this moment. Besides the mutual love they both knew, there was no difference in her treatment of others, which felt a bit strange.

This was the mask Qin Yinong had worn for many years in the entertainment industry. It was willful and dazzling, already inseparable from her true self. But the shy and introverted Qin Yinong beneath the mask belonged to her alone.

Tang Ruoyao made a slight adjustment to suppress the sourness in her heart.

The two big shots were chatting, and no one dared to disturb them, so the atmosphere around Qin and Han remained relatively peaceful. Tang Ruoyao was cautious and maintained a respectful tone as she asked in a low voice, "What happened between Teacher Qin and Hao Meihua?"

Even if someone with keen ears happened to overhear, they wouldn't find any fault.

Qin Yinong glanced at her with peach blossom eyes and smiled openly, saying, "Nothing much, she asked me who my marriage partner is and if they're from the industry."

She leisurely appreciated the subtle changes in Tang Ruoyao's expression, the flicker of worry in her eyes, and the elusive resemblance of joy.

She thought to herself that the young girl probably didn't know what had happened on the red carpet outside.

She also thought: The young one actually wants to publicly acknowledge their relationship, but the situation doesn't allow for it. One day, she will let Tang Ruoyao stand by her side openly and proudly.

Qin Yinong's gaze fell on Tang Ruoyao's slightly opened red lips, and her eyes deepened. Tang Ruoyao had applied a moisturizing lipstick today, with bright and plump lips that looked like a ripe cherry.

Qin Yinong's throat moved slightly, wanting to kiss the little one and taste her flavor, one mouthful at a time.

Tang Ruoyao was oblivious to the fleeting thoughts that crossed Qin Yinong's mind and nervously asked, "How did you respond?"

Qin Yinong calmly swallowed her saliva, withdrawing her thoughts, and said casually, "Oh, I shut her down."

Tang Ruoyao's tongue almost went numb as she asked, "How did you shut her down?"

Han Yuping also had a horrified expression on his face.

Did the old dog evolve? Ultimate old dog evolution?

Qin Yinong shrugged indifferently and smiled, "I told her it's none of her business."

Tang Ruoyao was dumbfounded.

Han Yuping gave her a thumbs up, acknowledging Qin Yinong's prowess.

Tang Ruoyao took a few seconds to digest the situation, and a hint of worry appeared on her face as she asked, "Is it okay to do that? After all, Hao Meihua has been in the industry for so many years. She might make it difficult for you publicly"

"It's fine, don't worry." Qin Yinong swallowed the almost slip of the tongue saying "your girlfriend" and said with a smile, "I'm quite formidable."

Was Tang Ruoyao used to her soft and gentle side and misunderstood her?

Han Yuping chimed in, "Indeed."

Both of them were full of confidence, so Tang Ruoyao stopped worrying too much. She asked about the movie "True Colors." Although it couldn't be released in mainland China, it could be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas. It would also be submitted for various awards next year.

Han Yuping said, "The film has been edited, just some finishing touches left. The other issue is the theater release, we have to ask your... " He stumbled on his tongue, awkwardly changing his words, "your boss."

Tang Ruoyao: "..."

Han Yuping let out a long sigh, it was too difficult. He would avoid being in the same frame as this couple in the future to prevent slips of the tongue.

Qin Yinong cleared her throat and restrained her laughter, saying, "I estimate it will be released in the middle of next year."

As it was a purely award-oriented film, the release schedule wasn't that strict. It would depend on when the company could negotiate.

It was a significant film for both of them, and Tang Ruoyao wanted to go to the cinema with Qin Yinong, but their relationship attracted too much attention. It was unlikely to happen.

Qin Yinong seemed to see through her thoughts and pursed her lips, saying, "Let's see."

No one knew what the situation would be like next year.

Next, the two of them discussed business matters. Qin Yinong's media company was continuing to search for scripts to film, and she preferred to work with Han Yuping as the director. Han Yuping was a demanding person, often being picky and hesitant, so Qin Yinong had to use kind words to coax him.

Tang Ruoyao couldn't interject and coincidentally, the stage lighting had been adjusted, so she returned to her seat.

Qin Yinong and Han Yuping sat in the center of the first row, the true center stage. Tang Ruoyao was assigned to the fifth row, which was still considered a relatively good position. Qin Yinong sat upright with good posture, her tall figure standing out in the first row.

Tang Ruoyao tilted her head slightly and could see Qin Yinong's superior back of her head. She couldn't help but curl her lips.

During the warm-up phase, the host playfully teased and joked about the dazzling stars in attendance. By coincidence, the live camera captured Tang Ruoyao's smile.

Tang Ruoyao was known for being aloof and reserved, an icy mountain that kept people at a distance. It wasn't that she never smiled or had a poker face all the time. When she smiled, whether it was towards the camera or her colleagues in the entertainment industry, her lips would gently curl, appearing warm and polite. However, there was always a natural sense of detachment and indifference in her eyes and brows, keeping people at arm's length.

The smile captured by the live camera today was a departure from her usual style. The icy and snowy gaze melted away, the rivers thawed, and specks of starry spring light appeared, carrying a hint of tender affection.

Her face suddenly appeared on the big screen, frozen in time.

Tang Ruoyao was startled, her lips pursed.

Many people turned their attention to the young leading actress who had been in the limelight for the past two years.

Hao Meihua frowned, lifting her eyelids along with the others.

She had been left speechless by Qin Yinong's retort and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Now, she found fault with everyone, especially those who had crossed paths with her.

"What did Ruoyao see that made her so happy?" the host teased.

"I..." Tang Ruoyao took the microphone swiftly handed to her by a staff member and calmly said, "I was just lost in thought."

The host pressed further, "Then can you share with everyone what you were thinking about?"

Tang Ruoyao displayed a troubled expression.

Hao Meihua crossed her arms and mockingly said, not too loudly but audible to the surrounding people, including the host, as her position was also in the first row, "Young actors nowadays are becoming more and more unfocused. They frequently get lost in thought at such occasions. If I remember correctly, you were also absent-minded at the awards ceremony last year. When you're here, focus and treat it seriously. Don't be absent-minded, thinking that you're above everything just because you've achieved some success. It would be beneficial for you to be more humble and considerate."

Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the surrounding area could hear it, including the host.

Hao Meihua's temper was just like that, stubborn in her heart. The words "Best Actress" triggered her almost like PTSD. Especially Tang Ruoyao, who achieved such honors at a young age, always seemed to be caught in her grip. This was her way of venting her frustration, and the veterans in the industry were well aware of it. So although Hao Meihua was a bit overbearing, it wasn't worth offending her for the sake of Tang Ruoyao. As a result, everyone remained quiet, except for an established veteran actor who shook his head at Hao Meihua, signaling her to stop.

Hao Meihua tightly pursed her lips, her expression unchanged.

Tang Ruoyao couldn't be bothered to care, but she wasn't the type to remain silent. Qin Yinong wouldn't allow her to be silent either. Anyway, Qin Yinong and she already had a falling out, so she didn't care if she added one more enemy.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

The host felt a bit awkward and was about to move on to the next segment when a staff member reached out to take the microphone. Unexpectedly, Tang Ruoyao pulled her hand back, avoiding it, and calmly said, "It's okay, I'll share."

The host put on an attentive expression.

"I respect my profession, and seeing so many outstanding actors in front of me, I feel honored to be here with all of you. So I was thinking, if the person I admire saw this scene, they would surely be happy for me. That's why I smiled so happily."

Tang Ruoyao once again revealed a smile similar to the one before, graceful and confident, and then sat down, returning the microphone.

The host was stunned for two seconds before realizing what had just happened. He rolled up his suit sleeves and exclaimed, "Oh my god, oh my god! Did everyone see that? I've got goosebumps for real."

Tang Ruoyao's unexpected words truly ignited the atmosphere.

Laughter filled the entire venue.

There was one person between Hao Meihua and Qin Yinong, but it didn't stop Hao Meihua from seeing Qin Yinong's smiling face with her eyes and brows curved, which was very annoying. She responded unkindly, "Why are you laughing? She's not your person."

Qin Yinong glanced back lightly and replied, "I'm happy. Do you have a problem with that?"

Author's Note:

Qin Dudu: You didn't expect it, did you? Her person is me!

PS: I know everyone wants to see the drinking water scene, but before Emperor Qin makes a comeback, we have to follow the plot. I won't specify which chapter has the drinking water scene, as I want to surprise you quietly. Just look for the chapter summary that says "Congratulations to the female guest for successfully drinking water."
