Capítulo 985: Chapter 984: Ye Xian Falls Off the Stage
Walking up the red carpet were not Ye Xian, but three tall figures in black tailcoats: the cool and handso Jiang Wanze, the gentle and elegant Lin Yan, and the dashing and lively Cary.
[Huh? Why are the other three mbers of FOR here too? No announcent was made beforehand!]
[Wow, what a surprise! FOR is reunited again! It makes up for the disappointnt from the New Year’s Eve gala!]
[I thought FOR would disband after Ye Xian’s identity was revealed, but it’s just like before!]
[Hahaha, this is aweso, are the three brothers here to protect Xianxian?]
The comnts were in a heated discussion, and the three people walking up to the signing board did not follow the regular process of signing; instead, they placed their hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and perford a gentlemanly salute in unison, “Welco, Her Highness the Princess!”
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhh]
[Help, it’s so charming! So affectionate! It turns out the three brothers are knights!]
[I can’t take it, I’m shipping this so hard!]
[OH MY GOD I’m a prophet, FOR could really star in a show called ‘What If All the Brothers Love !’]
[FOR is locked in my heart, and the key is thrown into the Pacific Ocean!]
[They’re so good at this! Clover is forever amazing! I’m falling more and more in love!]
All three of them spoke in unison as the cara slowly panned to the end of the red carpet, where a pair of light gold high heels was stepping forward.
A handful of stars, stepping on a shattered Milky Way.
She seed like an elf who wandered into the human world, suddenly appearing without giving anyone a chance to prepare. The gown, adorned with dazzling jewels, was like countless shimring stars, sparkling on her graceful figure.
With delicate hands lifting her skirt, an impossibly slender waist, a perfect alluring curve, even and straight shoulders and neck, her skin as fine and smooth as white porcelain, the cara gradually moved upward to reveal all her beauty to everyone present.
Until she lifted her head, her rosy lips like a rose, dimples faintly showing a beguiling smile, revealing a perfectly alluring and yet innocently pure face.
In an instant, everyone inside and outside, in front of their TVs and livestream apps, was stunned, their hearts racing.
As if they couldn’t believe that such a perfect beauty existed in this world!
Just one look was enough to take your breath away and leave you srized.
[Whoa whoa whoa, crazy!!! I’m going insane over Xianxian’s beauty!]
[…As a neutral fan, can I ask, is this really a human being’s looks?]
[Covering my mouth, afraid I’d squeal like a pig, what kind of mistake did my baby make to be banished to earth?]
[Gosh! Instantly becoming a fan! Is Ye Xian’s face kissed by an angel? How can anyone look this good?]
[Isn’t this 3D modeling?]
[Wailing, mommy’s baby, how do you manage to look both handso as a male and otherworldly beautiful as a female?]
[They are beautifully androgynous, and I can’t even distinguish species in my ugliness!!]
[Ahhhh mommy asked why I turned into a mosquito coil!]
[This beauty, this figure, this charisma, it’s unique in the entertainnt industry, isn’t it?! Isn’t this the superstar everyone’s watching? What was that malnourished thing before?]
[Goddess-like Ye Xian! Light of the red carpet, Ye Xian! She’s remarkable in the entertainnt industry!]
[I predict this outfit will go viral again!]
[Golden Crown Goddess! Who else but Xian! Golden Crown Goddess! Who else but Xian…]
Not only were the audiences in front of TVs and livestreams thrilled, but even the staff at the Golden Crown Gala and the hundreds of celebrities present were utterly amazed and full of praise.
The male celebrities watched Ye Xian’s every graceful move on the big screen, their eyes fixed, while the female celebrities, despite their admiration and envy, couldn’t hide the traces of jealousy in their eyes.
Especially Le Hui, sitting in the third row, as she watched the soaring traffic and the overwhelming praise on the screen, her dilated eyes couldn’t help but turn red, with jealousy and bitterness on full display.
Golden Crown Goddess, Light of the Red Carpet, Top of the Entertainnt Industry, Celestial Fairy… She had never enjoyed these titles!
Debuting five years ago, even though through her efforts, she climbed her way to the top tier of actresses, becoming the leading mber of the Four Young Leading Actresses, but every event she attended, wasn’t she always judged and scrutinized by the audience? Either they accused her of secret plastic surgery and decline in looks, or they speculated that romantic setbacks were affecting her performance, and even normal pr profiles or poses on the red carpet were seen as pretentious and fake? She was just a useless vase, but Ye Xian?
Dressing in drag, deceiving fans, breaching contracts, after committing such huge offenses, if it were her, she’d have been ostracized from the entertainnt circle, but with just one movie, everyone forgave Ye Xians. No, it wasn’t just any movie, it was a Hollywood blockbuster! With such a top-tier and powerful team, anyone would beco famous, but if it weren’t for President Bo, could she have landed such a good opportunity given her recent straitened circumstance?
Le Hui’s gaze gradually fell on the noble and impressive man in the central VIP row, and her beautiful face twisted in jealousy.
Background with prominent family connections, a boyfriend with limitless power, celestial beauty, endless top-tier resources, all things she wouldn’t even dare to dream of, Ye Xian got easily!
Why? Why did everything good fall on her head?
If this continued, Ye Xian would soon dominate the entertainnt industry, calling the shots, while she could only pick up the leftovers behind her; since when had Le Hui been subjected to such grievances?!
“She’s truly beautiful~”
Cheng Peihan glanced at Le Hui beside her, whose jealousy had made her lose control of her expressions, and continued to pour oil on the fire leisurely, “Even us, once known for our looks, feel a bit overshadowed now, truly bowing our heads in defeat…”
“You bow your head in defeat, don’t drag into it.”
Le Hui was in an extrely bad mood at this mont, and Cheng Peihan’s words made it worse, tearing apart the facade of harmony they usually maintained, as she snapped back imdiately.
Cheng Peihan didn’t mind; she just smiled faintly, “Well, I have to admit defeat. After struggling for five or six years to finally make a na for myself, soone else imdiately beca a top star upon entering the circle, claiming the Golden Crown Goddess in a month. There’s just no way not to admire her.”
She hit the sore spot, and upon hearing “Golden Crown Goddess,” Le Hui was even more furious, almost wanting to tear apart the dazzling smile on the screen.
Beautiful!
So beautiful!
Every ti he looked, he was amazed once again. Previously, he envied Ye Xian, but now he sowhat envied the CEO.
Pang Kai couldn’t help but glance at the person beside him, only to see… although the CEO was staring intently at the big screen, it seed he wasn’t looking at Ye Xian, but at the incessant barrage of comnts on the side. The coldness emitting from his gaze seed like it could kill all those IDs.
He glanced at the comnts and was shocked.
Male fans were rampant, overshadowing the voices of female fans, shalessly shouting ‘wife, so beautiful,’ ‘wife, I love you,’ ‘baby, wear more when you enter, husband will be worried if you catch a cold,’ ‘Xianxian, I love you so much, marry !’ ‘Stop shouting, if you keep shouting, I’ll get mad, and when I get mad, Xianxian will have to kneel on the washboard tonight!’
Pang Kai: “…” I advise you all, if you’re real fans, to stop shouting, or else Ye Xian will really have to kneel on the washboard tonight!
“Knock knock~”
The man tapped his finger twice on the chair’s armrest. Pang Kai quickly asked, “CEO, what’s wrong?”
Bo Tingshen gave a faint glance at the seat beside him, and Pang Kai imdiately understood, walking towards the back, waiting for FOR to enter.
Soon, he returned, appearing very hesitant.
Bo Tingshen’s gaze fell on him coming back alone, full of intimidation.
Pang Kai was even more frightened, mustering up his courage to speak quietly, “C-CEO, Ye Xian doesn’t want to co over. She asked to pass on a ssage; what follows is what she said, it has nothing to do with ! She said… she’s getting on in years and suggests you take care of your health.”
After speaking, Pang Kai imdiately turned his face away, not daring to look at his expression, and only after a long while did he sneak a glance, seeing him smile.
Yet from that forced smile, he could tell Ye Xian was in for trouble tonight.
Once the red carpet was done, the Golden Crown Ceremony Awards officially began. To keep the event’s montum going, the organizers purposefully handed out the other awards to celebrities before starting to award the Golden Crown Goddess trophy.
“Next cos the exhilarating mont of the night everyone has been eagerly waiting for. She is not only a heroic, sky-shattering idol from a super popular boy group but also a seductive, stunningly beautiful new actress. She broke through gender labels, created data miracles, and greatly propelled the film industry’s progress. Her star reviews on AP describe her as ‘light of the entertainnt industry’, ‘box office poison’. She is the Golden Crown Goddess at this year’s Golden Crown Ceremony — Ye Xian!”
A bright spotlight suddenly illuminated Ye Xian, followed by warm, endless applause from the crowd.
Ye Xian lifted her dress, gracefully walking toward the stage.
As she ascended the stairs, with an elegant, dazzling silhouette that enchanted and amazed everyone, the Four Young Leading Actresses who had just received their awards also descended from the stage. Le Hui, standing on the far right, just barely brushed past Ye Xian.
The awestruck gazes that once belonged to her, the glory that today should have been hers, turned entirely into hers too. She desperately wished to tear up her smiling face!
Clutching the consolation prize in her hand, Le Hui gritted her teeth, struggling to control her expression, taking painful steps downwards. When she reached the last few steps, she unintentionally noticed the long cot-like train of Ye Xian’s gown behind her.
Sothing quickly flashed through her mind.
All the caras present were focused on Ye Xian, and her gown’s hem wasn’t small either. If soone extended a foot from below, ‘accidentally’ stepping on Ye Xian’s train, no one would really notice — everyone would just think Ye Xian had slipped on her own.
The Golden Crown Stage was splendid, and the staircase was over five ters high. If she were to fall from the high platform, it might not end half her life, but it would definitely ruin her face, right?
In that instant, Le Hui was consud entirely by malicious jealousy and silently extended her foot.
Ye Xian reached the final step, just about to lower her golden gown, when suddenly a powerful force pulled her entire body backward.
Her high-heeled shoes slid backward several centiters and due to insufficient friction, her body swiftly fell toward the stage below in a flash.
Ye Xian tried to balance her body, but it was too late as her vision was filled with the steep five- or six-ter drop.
Amid the audience’s panicked gasps, a familiar fear overwheld her.
She rembered a past life mont like this when she went on stage to receive an award. It seed like soone had stepped on her gown, shocked voices reverberated everywhere, and her body fell straight down like a pebble thrown into a lake.
Back then, her mind was blank, unable to react to anything, but now she’s exceptionally clear-headed — clear enough that her heart trembles with fear, her beauty fading away, her blood seemingly frozen… she wouldn’t have to leave, would she?
No, she couldn’t leave; the CEO was still here.
Bo Tingshen, Bo Tingshen, Bo Tingshen, what to do…
As Ye Xian’s mind was almost fully occupied by the man’s na and face, a sudden pain viciously shattered it.
Like a knife suddenly piercing through, unlocking the black box deep in her mory, releasing everything with a rush.
In her mind erged a mory, both distant and profound.
On her birthday, her father bought her a beautiful princess dress, making her look like a doll, happily dancing while holding her mother’s hand.
Her older brother taught her how to study, solve Rubik’s Cube, and play guitar; her second brother took her to sneak out to play, skateboard, and even sneak strawberries from next door…
Although she didn’t understand why her parents wouldn’t let her go out like other kids to attend school and have many friends, she had just as much fun at ho.
But not every day was happy. There was a ti when her father went on a business trip, and her mother attended an art exhibition, her older brother went abroad for a competition, and her second brother had closed-off military training in school. The villa was empty, leaving only the servant and her.
She felt so bored that she climbed a rockery to stargaze, and after looking for a long ti, her neck hurt, descending made her dizzy and faint, causing her to fall down.
She seed to have fainted or perhaps dreamt a long, long dream she couldn’t awaken from.
Then a fragnt of mory was like sharp glass, slowly slicing apart the clear image in her mind; fragnts where she cut her long hair, went clubbing, drank and bar-hopped, quarreled with her parents, madly and recklessly chased stars…
Ye Xian felt extre head pain, as if those sharp fragnts were going to rip her apart, tearing her soul from her body.
