Mu Jinqian didn’t give Mu Jin Huan a second chance to decline, stood up, headed upstairs, and with a smile said, "Dad, bear with it for another two minutes, I’ll be right back."
In fact, it didn’t even take him two minutes to co back downstairs with the chess set, so Mu Jin Huan didn’t refuse again, scooted a bit forward, and started playing chess, with an attitude that wasn’t exactly distant, rely not talkative.
Mu Jinqian and Cheng Shihong watched the ga from the side, occasionally chatting, the atmosphere pretty harmonious.
Faintly, there were sounds of firecrackers and fireworks outside the window, and after the advertisents on the TV ended, the broadcast switched to the annual Grand Entertainnt Awards of a certain TV station.
The award presenter kept the suspense for quite a while before announcing, "Best Actor: Lu Li."
Upon hearing this na, Nan Wan lifted her head to look at the TV screen, which switched the cara to where Lu Li was sitting.
Amidst resounding applause, he gracefully nodded with a smile, accepted the trophy with both hands, and embraced the award presenter in gratitude.
The screams and applause echoed throughout the hall, and the host had to raise their voice to assert their presence.
"Congratulations to Lu Li, ’South Wind Knows My Heart,’ a dark horse, breaking the 200-million box office in its first week, you could say it’s the best-selling teen movie in recent years. Do you have anything to say to the fans who have always supported you?"
Lu Li adjusted the microphone height, then put his finger to his lips, curving the edges with allure, "...shh."
The screaming fans on site really did quiet down.
The spotlight shone on Lu Li, his entire being surrounded by circles and circles of radiance, extraordinarily handso and seemingly untouchable.
He held the microphone with one hand, began to speak, "I’m Lu Li, it took eight years to get to where I am now, I should be thanking my parents who gave life, I should thank my ntors who taught acting, I should thank the directors who recognized my talents, I should thank the fans who stayed by my side no matter how good or bad I was..."
He said each one slowly, then paused for a few seconds before continuing, "...but on this awards night that the whole world can see, I most want to thank my best friend, her na is Nan Wan."
There was an uproar in the audience.
Clearly, the host didn’t expect him to ntion the awkward ’ex-wife’ in such an important event, but the host’s on-the-spot adaptability was strong, they managed to reset the atmosphere within a few words.
Mu Jinqian looked at Nan Wan playing Lego with Qingqing on the carpet, a gentle tranquility between her brows, and a delicate smile on her cheek that seed focused on assembling the transforr toy in her hands.
Then he looked at Mu Jin Huan playing chess, serene and calm, seemingly unaffected.
Mu Jinqian raised an eyebrow and put down the remote control.
Once the atmosphere on-site settled, the host breathed a great sigh of relief, aware that this was a live broadcast and there were no chances for correction if sothing went wrong.
A gracious smile, "Lu Li, your fans seem reluctant for you to step down so quickly, would you mind saying a few more words?"
Lu Li didn’t seem to mind either, his facial expression hadn’t changed throughout.
"Today’s probably my last appearance on TV, so I hope everyone gives a bit more ti, a bit more ti to speak."
Not only were the fans on site shocked, but even the host was dumbfounded.
What does this an? Quitting the entertainnt industry at such a critical ti during one’s career peak?
The director, seeing the ratings climb steadily, imdiately cut the cara to Lu Li’s most suitable angle, and simultaneously instructed the host not to interrupt.
"We’ve known each other since childhood, she’s my only friend, when I was crushed under rumors and unable to move forward, she agreed to a mock marriage with to help dispel the ’gay’ rumors."
"I was cowardly, I feared cyberbullying, and I feared facing reporters who questioned every day whether I liked n, I could only watch helplessly as she bore all the insults without a single word of complaint."
He seed oblivious to the whispers and discussions around him.
"None of the dirty things reported in the newspapers about Nan Wan are true, she never had any unclear relationships with any man, even during the six months of our mock marriage, we simply lived on the sa floor of the sa building, her on the left, on the right."
Lu Li paused, as if reminiscing, "The girl I liked is in another world, ’South Wind Knows My Heart,’ this movie is all about her, so I wasn’t acting, but missing her."
