Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn Chapter 126: What's the rush? Isn't this here already?

Chapter 126: What’s the rush? Isn’t this here already?

The fans below imdiately started making a racket, all bearing expressions that they were in for a good show, and the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Thinking that Shi Lan was about to apologize to her idol, it seed as though they couldn’t wait to stand on the dining tables and clap with both hands and feet.

Completely over the top!

They just wanted to see Shi Lan admit her mistake!

See Shi Lan apologize!

See Shi Lan concede defeat!

...

However…

When Shi Lan ca out from backstage, she was calm and showed not a hint of grievance or panic. Still dressed in her morning’s costu, her makeup intact, it should have been a public execution full of humiliation, but she was very composed. After Tang Ze moved the gift onto the stage, she took the microphone from the host and said to everyone, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“I’m the one who delayed things,” Chen Beini interjected, as if trying to appear magnanimous on purpose.

However, Shi Lan ignored her and continued,

“Before we start today’s main event, allow to send another blessing, wishing Chengle, our cute little birthday boy, a happy birthday!”

Chengle, who was sitting below eating a buffet, was suddenly cued. Hearing Shi Lan’s birthday wishes, he quickly got up and bowed to thank her, “Thank you, thank you, Sister An Lan.”

Tang Ze had the staff move a luxuriously packaged gift box to Chengle’s feet and gestured that it was his birthday gift.

Chengle and everyone else were dumbfounded because he never expected that soone would rember the birthday of a minor actor like him or that he could receive a birthday gift. So, while thanking them, he opened the big gift box and then scread, “Sister An Lan, you’re so thoughtful, wuhu, the limited edition Iron Man, I’ve really wanted this, I’ve been looking for it for so long, am I dreaming?”

Shi Lan watched his reaction and laughed. Then she took another box from Tang Ze’s hands and handed it to Gu Chengyu, saying aningfully, “This is for you.”

Gu Chengyu held it in his hands, his heart filled with mixed emotions because An Lan always went out of her way with gifts every year, so, Gu Chengyu’s expectations were written all over his face.

Seeing how thoughtfully An Lan had gifted the minor actor, the host encouraged Gu Chengyu, “Quick, open it and see!”

The audience all craned their necks, thinking to themselves, An Lan, aren’t you still as sycophantic as ever?

But…

When Gu Chengyu opened the gift box and saw the birthday gift Shi Lan had given him, a complex look of embarrassnt appeared on his face.

The host didn’t notice Gu Chengyu’s expression and continued, “I wonder what the surprise is?”

Gu Chengyu, in a predicant, had no choice but to reveal it, and the host glanced at it, imdiately looking stunned and at a loss for words.

“Pfft…”

Nobody knew who, but soone couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and the venue imdiately fell into an incredibly awkward atmosphere.

Because the stage lights were all on Gu Chengyu’s hands, that copy of “The Actor’s Art of Self-Improvent” suddenly caught everyone’s eye.

What’s a joke?

This is it!

It was the epito of innuendo!

“An Lan, what do you an by this?” Chen Beini imdiately questioned Shi Lan, “Today is Chengyu’s birthday, what are you joking about?”

“Isn’t it perfectly suited to his current acting skills?” Shi Lan retorted righteously.

“Uh… actually, the gift isn’t important, what’s important is…” the host quickly stood up from his chair to smooth things over, but…

“Gifts aren’t important because apologizing is more important, right?” Shi Lan interrupted the host assertively, then, with her aura fully unleashed, walked to the center of the stage, taking control of the entire venue, “What’s the rush? Isn’t it here now?”
