The most popular artiste in the past would be presenting the award to the current most popular artistes. It felt as if there was a sense of heritage.
The impression that Jiang Yuning left on the others was that she was no longer the same Jiang Yuning who went around snatching resources for herself. Instead, she looked smart, witty, cold and strong. Moreover, she had an important role as a backup behind the artiste.
After the ceremony, Jiang Yuning didn’t even return to her seat and she simply left the awards ceremony immediately.
When she returned to the hotel, it was already ten o’clock at night.
Jiang Yuning was wearing a down jacket and she got on the elevator and ran back to her room.
After opening the door, only Lu Jingzhi was there. Jiang Yuning took off her jacket and asked Lu Jingzhi, “Where is the young paparazzo?”
“He said he had relatives nearby and he went for New Year’s Eve dinner.” Lu Jingzhi replied before he brought her a towel to wipe her face.
In the suite, the party had already begun at the moment, and it was boisterous and festive.
Jiang Yuning warmed up and that’s when she settled down next to Lu Jingzhi. However, at this time, Lu Jingzhi was on a video call with Lu Jingqi.
The Lu family mansion was very lively and everyone was on camera, although the old master Lu was rolling his eyes at them.
“Jingqi, tell your second brother and sister-in-law that they should hurry up and give me a great-grandson. Otherwise, what is the use of Lu Jingzhi getting married then?”
Lu Jingqi was facing the video and he seemed to be livelier than before: “Second brother, did you just hear that? Where is Sister Yuning?”
Jiang Yuning had just changed her clothes and her cheeks reddened slightly when she heard someone rushing her to give birth.
Lu Jingzhi glanced partially at her before he quickly concluded, “Go eat your New Year’s Eve dinner.”
“I haven’t gotten to talk to them yet.” Jiang Yuning saw him put down the phone and she was a little surprised, “Why did you hang up for no reason?”
“Got anything on tomorrow?”
Lu Jingzhi threw the cell phone away and didn’t answer her question.
“No.” Jiang Yuning shook her head.
“Brought a turtleneck sweater?”
“Brought it.” Jiang Yuning nodded again.
“Then…you don’t have to eat your New Year’s Eve dinner now. I’m more interested in…spending time with you now.”
As Jiang Yuning was in a daze, she was already being hugged by Lu Jingzhi. She never would have thought that the way she and Lu Jingzhi would be celebrating New Year’s Eve would be like this.
Shortly afterwards, the New Year countdown came on the TV. At that moment, Jiang Yuning was dizzy and she could only feel a mellow voice ringing in her ears: “Happy New Year.”
She did not know if she was happy, but it was true that she was really tired.
When she woke up in the early morning, there were still fireworks outside the window. Jiang Yuning nestled in Lu Jingzhi’s arms and said somewhat grievously: “I didn’t even get to eat New Year’s Eve dinner.”
“Well…I will make it up to you.” Lu Jingzhi did not wake up but he simply returned this sentence to her subconsciously.
Jiang Yuning raised her head slightly and smiled contentedly when she looked at him. Where her family was, it would always be New Year’s and, where her lover was, it was Valentine’s Day.
…
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi returned to Luo City.
The next day early morning, Jiang Yuning really put on a white turtleneck sweater and this time they head to the airport without any plans at all.
So, was it really alright for her to have someone beside her?
As the face value of the couple was extremely high, it caused a lot of passers-by to stare at them. Even people who did not pay attention to the entertainment industry subconsciously thought that the both of them were celebrities. So, they quickly took out their cell phone to record it and sent it to their friends, “Who is this pair of handsome man and woman? We had an airport chance encounter with them!”
Their friends and family exploded immediately.
What the hell was Jiang Yuning trying to make people jealous for on Chinese New Year?
The reason for this was because she was focused on her phone and talking to Shen Yichen.
It was also because of the presence of Lu Jingzhi that she could simply act like a puppet, allowing him to protect her and hold her hand. Anyway, if the others want to take pictures, go ahead.
It felt as though the childhood sweethearts’ fans had just celebrated New Year’s Eve yesterday but they wanted to continue celebrating the New Year today.
[I have already been Jiang Yuning’s fan for so many years and I have already been following Sister Yuning for so many years. I even have a collection of the pictures of Empress Jiang at the airport. After being such an old fan of Jiang Yuning, I realized that today is the only time that Empress Jiang could actually relax and play with her cell phone in the airport. This is all because Lu Jingzhi was with her and she did not need to worry about anything or pay any attention to the surrounding environment at the airport at all.]
[This kind of trust does not happen and exist overnight. The tacit understanding between the both of them had already reached a certain extent and degree. As soon as Empress Jiang raises her finger, Mr. Lu would have already known what she wanted or what she was going to do.]
[The contrast is really too great! Jiang Yuning was a devil last night but she is as gentle and delicate as a sheep today!]
[What kind of beautiful love is this?]
[Let me release some confidential information here. A friend of mine was staying at the same hotel that Jiang Yuning was staying at last night. She returned to the hotel at about ten o’clock last night and she did not leave her room again. According to my friend, the young couple ordered a New Year’s Eve dinner but they did not even attend the dinner. I don’t know what they were doing in the room but I dare not make any assumptions!]
When Jiang Yuning and Shen Yichen finished their conversation, she found herself sitting in the VIP lounge.
Lu Jingzhi was sitting across from her and he was reading a newspaper. The young paparazzo was sitting at a neighboring table as he was drinking tea with his chin in his hand.
This was because the young paparazzo was thinking about what he had to do to be as perfect as his brother-in-law.
On weekdays, when he and Jiang Yuning attend any event, it’s always Jiang Yuning had always been very worried all the time.
However, after watching Lu Jingzhi and Jiang Yuning travel together, he finally realized what it meant to be carefree and not to have any worries.
How in the world did Lu Jingzhi do this? How could he be doing his own thing and still keep an eye on whether Jiang Yuning was about to run into a passer-by while doing his job?
Did his eyes grow on Jiang Yuning’s body?
“Sigh…”
There was really a gap between men and men.
…
A few days after the New Year, the cast of <Asylum> was announced, and the most important villain, Tang Feng was chosen.
This was a film directed by Mo Zheng!
Many top-tier actors have tried their best to get into the movie and their team had tried every possible way to match up with them to no avail. However, such an important role in the movie, had actually been given to an unknown actor.
Many people in the industry knew that Jiang Yuning used her connection with director Shen Guobang’s for the role of Tang Feng, and she also promised a lot of cooperation with them in future.
But no matter how Jiang Yuning won the role over for Tang Feng, what the experienced team couldn’t accomplish, she did it all the way.
In fact, Tang Feng had been waiting for a long time for this. He thought that after the official announcement of this matter was made public, fans would finally understand how difficult it was for Jiang Yuning to get resources for him, but…
Unexpectedly, the fans did not think that way at all…
