| ← Ch.779 | Ch.781 → |
After coming home from the ceremony, Xie Ming took a quick shower and dressed in her pajamas. She was reading the articles about the ceremony while sitting on the bed with her back against the pillow while Liwei was taking the shower.
[Xie Ming who impressed everyone with her natural elegance and realistic acting has won the award of Best supporting actress and Best new actress for her role of Empress in the movie Eternal Love. ']
[Eternal Love has swept away all the awards at the year-end award ceremony. ? The movie directed by Mr. Han has won the most prestigious award, ' Movie of the year'. ]
[Jian Yan, the young man who has captured everyone's heart with his unbeatable acting and charming looks has been awarded as the Best supporting actor. ]
She was still in a daze at how she managed to get two awards for her role? On top of that, the movie, Eternal Love won the movie of the year award. Seeing how people are reacting, she can see that it was something incredible but unfortunately it will remain as her first and last project.
It was unfortunate that she won't be doing this in the future but she has no regrets about it. Her patients and the hospital needs her more than anything.
She pursed her lips seeing the posts about Jian Yan who couldn't attend the ceremony since he has left the country due to his overseas schedule.
[ I wish Jian Yan was there. It would have been bomb-blasting. I miss him. ]
[I miss Xie Ming and Jian Yan's chemistry. However, since Xie Ming is married, we can't do anything. Jin Liwie, you better take care of Xie Ming or else.... ]
[ They should have won the best couple awards as well. That's such a loss. They were amazing. ]
Upon reading all the comments, she started to feel bad remembering his face with a bitter smile. His face might be identical to Yang Hanying, the Emperor who ruined her past, but in this life, he has always helped her and has been her best support.
Even though he was not here, the happiness was intact and the fact that they took almost all the awards with them except Best Female Lead.
Only if Yuan Lei has not lost her way and focused on her work, then she might be the one taking this worthy award.
Not only her attempts to harm her, but the usage of drugs given to the horse did the worse to her. On top of that, during her trials, many people started to come out on the internet, claiming the wrong deeds she did to them. The people also revealed that she had bullied them in high school and the controversies kept piling up, ruining her career forever. 𝒇𝒓ℯewe𝒃𝓷o𝘃𝒆𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
That's why people should be nice to others when they can. No one can predict the future, the things that she did in her past were haunting her present now.
With a sigh, she placed the phone on the side table and glanced at the man who just came out of the bathroom. Her cheeks turned crimson seeing his taut body, covered with a white towel only.
His lower half was wrapped in a towel, while he was flaunting his muscular-toned chest to him. His black hair was dripping wet which caused her to gulp in nervousness as he smirked and made his way towards her with steady steps.
" Why did you come out only in a towel? Go, put on some clothes, and sleep, " she said while throwing the cushion at him.
Liwei caught the cushion and chuckled at her getting shy seeing his upper half-naked body." I am gonna sleep like this today. I can't believe it's this hot already." He said while pretending to be fanning himself with his hand and walked to her, causing her to curl into the corner.
His gaze was sharp as if prying onto his target.
" What are you saying? Stop spouting nonsense and wear some clothes, " she shouted while throwing another cushion but he caught it again and threw it on the ground.
" Seems like you want things to be rough today. Got it." As said this, he jumped on the bed, pulling her into his embrace, and hugged her tightly, " Today is such a happy day. How can we not have a celebration ceremony?" He whispered in her ears making her shiver at his sultry voice.
Celebration ceremony? She is very well familiar with this celebration ceremony of his. His celebration ceremony turns out to be quite painful for her in the morning.
He needs to learn to control himself.

Ji Dynasty.
In the imperial court of Ji Palace, the ministers were gathered and were waiting for Ji Cheng's command on further actions. The day Ji Cheng returned from the war, they couldn't complete the rituals for his welcome since Zhao Ming fell unconscious.
After two days, they were meeting again at the imperial court to discuss the actions to be taken after the war. The war has ended and the peace has been restored in affected areas, however, the perpetrator, Ji Zhelan who was captured after the war ended has been put in palace jail for now.
He was being treated just as he deserves. To get to the throne, he not only tried to harm Zhao Ming but also put hundreds of lives in danger by joining hands with Xiao Ruoguang, the King of L Kingdom.
If not for Ji Cheng's quick-wittedness, the Ji Empire would not have been standing high and mighty.
" Prince Ji Zhelan who has been exiled earlier has not only planned the treason against the royal crown along with the L kingdom but also attacked the Empress of Ji Dynasty, trying to tarnish the reputation of the crown. His audacious actions don't deserve any mercy."
" In this regard, I, Ji Cheng, The Emperor of Ji Dynjatsy, announces the public execution of Prince Ji Zhelan for the attempt of treason to the crown and the announcement of war without any prior notice, breaking the laws of war." Ji Cheng announced while looking at the ministers who bowed to him, agreeing to his decree.
-
" What? Public execution? Isn't that too harsh?" Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng who just returned from the court. She has only heard about such punishments but since it's going to happen for real, she was feeling uneasy.
Ji Cheng saw her worried expressions and sat beside her, he took her hand in his and said, " You don't need to think about it. For what he has done, this was nothing. In his greed for the throne, he put hundreds of people's lives in danger and put the country in chaos with this unannounced war with the L kingdom."
" It was King Xiao Ruoguang who backed out from the war and we managed to end this war in our favor."
Zhao Ming pursed her lips and stared at him hesitantly. She was curious about one thing and was wondering if it was right for her to ask this or not.
" What? If you want to ask something then don't keep it inside yourself."
" About King Xiao Ruoguang, why did he back out from the war? Since I know his personality, there must be a strong reason why he backed out suddenly. You did something, didn't you?" she looked at him curiously.
There is no way Xiao Ruogang would have betrayed Ji Zhelan and backed out from the war for no reason when they had the upper hand over them. There is something more to it.
Ji Cheng let out a low chuckle seeing her asking such a question. She doesn't let go of anything, does she?
