Lin Che asked, “Huh? What did you say?”

However, at that moment, she heard the host speaking in front.

“Compet.i.tion is becoming stiffer as we move on to the next few awards. Now, the winners for Best Female Lead and Best Male Lead will be announced. Hold your breaths, everyone…”

Of course, people paid more attention to these awards than to the award for Best Director because the people winning these awards were celebrities, celebrities with millions of fans.

Furthermore, celebrities had always enjoyed more attention than directors.

As a result, the atmosphere at the venue immediately became more fervent. A nervous air surrounded everyone.

Lin Che could no longer think of anything else. She merely looked at the front where the headshots of the five nominees were being projected on the screen right at the front.

Lin Che was one of them as well.

Lin Che smiled in embarra.s.sment. As she looked at herself on the screen, she felt incredibly awkward. For a moment, she simply wanted this stupid award to be announced quickly. She never wanted to have to face such a situation ever again.

It induced way too much anxiety.

The guests who were to present the award were already on stage.

Lin Che looked in front. She could no longer even hear the banter of the guests and could only fiddle with her hands while looking in front. She lifted her head to gaze at Gu Jingze up there and drew in a deep breath.

Only to hear the guests presenting the award deliberately beating about the bush.

“Hm. This time, the winner is a little surprising.”

“Ah, yes. But it still makes sense.”

“That’s right. Every nominated actress is excellent, so any of them winning the award would be surprising, yet it would also be reasonable.”

“Well then, who exactly is the winner?”

“The winner of Best Female Lead is…”

“Lin Che.”

Lin Che’s name was immediately enlarged on the screen.

Her stiff face was also flashed onto the screen in its entirety.

Everyone at the venue instantly went into an uproar.

Lin Che sat there frozen for a long time.

Only then did Nan Gongyu say from beside her, “Quick, get up.”

Lin Che was stunned for a moment before she stood up.

She looked in front with great emotion. The people around her had already begun to stand up and congratulate her.

She numbly shook their hands and hugged them one by one. However, she felt her heart thumping continuously and could not calm herself down.

“The movie is a dark horse as is its female lead. The role of Xu Qinghuan is evil, mischievous, and she has deceived countless people. But in the end, she falls into her own trap. It can be said to be life’s best black humor. As for the actress Lin Che, she vividly portrayed this seemingly splendid character who is in great despair. What is most unforgettable is her consistently soulless smile in the movie, even though she should have been full of vigor in the movie. It is as if she’s conveying how life is just like a movie; one has to depend on his or her acting skills in everything.”

The description of Lin Che’s character reverberated in the hall. Lin Che walked up the stage along with the music. She looked down and genuinely felt that any amount of preparation was useless at this moment.

Because she was way too nervous and merely felt that all the blood was rus.h.i.+ng to her head. She was completely unable to think.

The guest presenting the award smiled while placing the little gold man in her hands.

As Lin Che held the heavy award in her hands, she lifted her head and looked down, countless thoughts running through her head.

“Thank you. Thank you, everyone, for this recognition. The only thing I needed to come back here was your approval. Thank you, everyone, for fulfilling my wish.” Lin Che felt that she had forgotten entirely the script that she had memorized earlier. At this moment, she could only look at the huge light in front and blabber. “I’m thankful to my family, thankful for their consistent support in the background. They’re the ones who have given me a limitless life for me so that I can do what I like to do. I’m grateful to the director and to the staff around me. Thank you to all the people who worked hard for this movie. This award is mine and it is also yours. It is the result of all of our hard work. I still remember, I still remember how everyone nearly cried because I was hindering progress when I could not immerse myself in my role back then. I still remember how all of you stood on my side when I argued with the director all the time. I also remember how we talked bad about the director behind his back together when the director scolded us… Ah, I don’t think I should be talking about these things here, right?”

Everyone roared with laughter.

Immediately, the sour expression of the director whom she had been talking about, Nan Gongyu, appeared on the screen.

Everyone found it even more amusing. They looked at Nan Gongyu before looking at Lin Che at the front.

Lin Che looked up and lifted her award.

At this moment, the man she loved was standing opposite her, the trophy that she wanted was in her hand, everyone outside loved her, and in her belly…

Was also her second child with Gu Jingze.

She felt that she was indeed fortunate and very blessed. She was almost floating because of this feeling of contentment.

Lin Che smiled, feeling that all the lights s.h.i.+ning on her were causing her to heat up and to get excited.

And in this whole venue, she was indeed the main character at this moment, the Best Female Lead.

Everyone looked at Lin Che with envy. Although they knew that there was a possibility that she would win, many people also felt bitter that she had actually won.

She was truly way too lucky, snagging such a good role upon her return.

Of course, most people would think this way. However, they had never thought about the extent of the hard work she had put in, in exchange for such luck.

It was only after she had been slandered and chased out of the cast that she worked hard to prove herself to Nan Gongyu with her acting skills.

It was also only through consistent friction with Nan Gongyu during the filming process that the movie turned out this way.

Of course, everyone did not see the hard work behind the scenes. The only thing they could see was her brilliance in the eyes of the enormous crowd right now.

And at this moment, Gu Jingze was also standing at the very top and looking in her direction.

His little woman had grown up.

But she would still be his little woman forever.

However, her proud expression under these lights became more and more blinding.

Then, he glanced at the envious expressions of the people around her. He shook his head and thought to himself that it was also troubling that she was too perfect. When the time came, he did not know how many pairs of eyes would be staring at her again and how many covetous gazes would be cast on her. He felt uneasy the moment he thought about this.

However, he also felt infinitely proud that she could fulfill her own dream and do what she liked.

He thought about the completely disheveled girl who had stood in front of him back then.

She had been so small and so stubborn at the same time. At the time, she had still been an extra whose name was unknown. Now, she had matured into the top actress under his gaze.

Subsequently, after Lin Che came down from the stage, everyone continued congratulating her endlessly.

After that, the award for Best Male Lead was obtained by another movie with a modern theme. After that, Nan Gongyu’s name was called as well for Best Film.

Because the award for Best Film was a team award, everyone had agreed to go on stage together.

The entire crew of seven or eight people went up together, and Lin Che also followed them.

She stood beside Nan Gongyu since she was the female lead.

The microphone was pa.s.sed to Nan Gongyu. He smiled and said, “Well, let me say this first. I’ve committed them all to memory, the staff who cursed me out behind my back after I argued with Lin Che on set.”

His first sentence after coming up on stage made everyone burst out in laughter.

On the side, Lin Che also covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She could not help laughing.
