Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Who Said One Person Can’t Walk the Red Carpet Alone?

Because the fishtail dress was a strapless design, the stylist, aiming to enhance its appeal, paired it with a gold and blue feathered shawl that was incredibly luxurious.

After putting it on, Xinan’s entire demeanor became much more refined and elegant. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt very satisfied.

She turned to Meng Qiu standing beside her and said, "Can you fetch my phone for me?"

Meng Qiu quickly pulled Xinan’s phone from his pocket and handed it over.

Taking the phone, Xinan opened the camera and took several full-body shots of herself in the mirror. After that, not fully satisfied, she took a few selfies.

Ding Lan, with her arms crossed, joked upon seeing Xinan taking pictures of herself, "The sun really rose from the west today, our Xinan is actually taking selfies."

After finishing the photos, Xinan put away her phone and said, "If I don’t take more pictures, it’d be a waste of this beautiful makeup, plus, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted selfies for my fans online."

"You finally realized that. In the past, asking you to post selfies online was like asking for your life."

Xinan replied, giggling, "Well, I’ve been too busy."

"Alright, since you’ve taken the photos, post them online after the event is over."

Xinan’s photography skills were something Ding Lan was confident in. After all, with that face, even the worst shots wouldn’t look bad, so there was no need for editing.

Xinan gave her an OK gesture, "No problem."

After getting ready, there was still an hour before the award ceremony began.

Xinan checked her phone, Cheng Yi hadn’t sent a single message.

She raised an eyebrow and opened the chat box with Cheng Yi.

Xinan: When are you coming over?

Twenty minutes later.

Xinan: Are you busy?

There was still no reaction from the phone.

By then, Ding Lan and Meng Qiu were already packing up to leave.

Xinan sighed, then sent another message to Cheng Yi: We’re running out of time, I’ll head over first.

About five minutes later, the driver who was supposed to pick Xinan up was waiting at the hotel entrance. After getting ready, Xinan followed her assistant and walked out.

At that moment, the hotel entrance was crowded with fans of various celebrities, and as soon as Xinan stepped out, a barrage of cheers rang in her ears.

"Xinan! Xinan!"

"Xinan!!"

Xinan, taken aback, didn’t expect to see so many of her own fans outside. She flashed a warm smile and waved at them.

The fans’ emotions suddenly became more intense, pushing closer towards her, and a few even charged forward but were stopped by the bodyguards.

"Xinan, Xinan, you are my goddess, I really, really like you."

Although Xinan felt her eardrums buzzing, she smiled gently and waved before Meng Qiu helped her into the car.

As soon as she sat down, the driver drove off.

Seeing so many fans waiting outside, Xinan felt a pang of sympathy, so she asked the driver to slow down to greet them one by one.

After driving through the crowd, the car sped on, soon arriving at the main venue for the award ceremony.

Meanwhile, her phone still had no messages from Cheng Yi.

At that moment, Xinan felt a spark of anger quietly ignite. That despicable Cheng Yi had promised to be her date, yet there she was at the venue, and he hadn’t even arrived, nor had he sent a single message.

Seeing the female celebrities in front of her walking the red carpet with their male companions, Xinan realized that time was pressing. She couldn’t wait any longer.

Forget it, alone it is then; after all, she hadn’t initially planned to find a male companion.

Who says one couldn’t walk the red carpet alone?

Xinan took a deep breath, smoothed out the folds in her dress, and then opened the car door and slowly headed towards the flashing lights on the red carpet.

Though it wasn’t her first time attending such an event, she was still somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, she managed to suppress these nerves deep inside her heart, and she quickly resumed her usual calm and collected demeanor, a slight smile on her lips and elegance written all over her face as she walked towards the red carpet.

Her pace was not fast because every few steps a reporter would stop her to take a photo.

Xinan kept a constant smile on her face, not letting anyone detect any trace of panic on her.

But anyone who truly knew her understood that her heart was in turmoil.

As she walked further, Xinan noticed another female star on the red carpet who also hadn’t brought a male companion. Clad in a red dress, she stood out among the other female celebrities.

And she was Yang Shuyu.

Though not many reporters were photographing her, she still walked very slowly.

That was indeed typical of Yang Shuyu’s character.

Thus, it didn’t take long for Xinan to reach her side.

Yang Shuyu was striking some exaggerated poses. Seeing Xinan approach, her eyes unconsciously swept around her, "He didn’t come with you?"

Mentioning this, Xinan felt a twinge of annoyance. She said a bit sourly, "He promised to come, but I haven’t seen him yet."

Disgusting Cheng Yi, when I see him later, I must give him a good scolding.

Having been through so much, Yang Shuyu certainly wouldn’t question Cheng Yi’s love for Xinan. As for why he hadn’t come to the award ceremony, perhaps he was really too busy.

How could Cheng Yi have stood Xinan up...

Yang Shuyu didn’t pursue the topic further and instead changed the subject, "I heard you’re nominated for Best Female Lead this time."

"Mhm."

"That’s really wonderful, congratulations! The era that belongs to you, Xinan, is about to arrive..." Yang Shuyu sincerely congratulated her.

Xinan modestly replied, "Thank you. But haven’t you been nominated for Best Supporting Actress as well?"

"Just a supporting actress nomination, I’ve had plenty of those in my career," Yang Shuyu said with a hint of disdain.

Seeing her reaction, Xinan said, "Who knows, maybe this time you’ll win?"

Yang Shuyu suddenly looked at Xinan, paused for a moment, and then smirked, "Then I’ll take your good words."

For some reason, Xinan felt an indescribable sensation when she locked eyes with Yang Shuyu.

It was as if some invisible force was pulling them slowly towards each other.

Seeing Yang Shuyu ready to leave as she picked up her dress, Xinan hesitated and suddenly said, "Yang Shuyu, didn’t you mention before that you wanted to break your contract with the company? I’ve started my own entertainment company now. If you’re interested, you’re always welcome to join."

Yang Shuyu was taken aback for a moment and then smiled, "We’ll talk about it later."

With all the noise around, Xinan couldn’t quite make out what Yang Shuyu said at the end.

Just as Xinan was trying to recall what Yang Shuyu had said, the voices of the surrounding reporters brought her back to reality.

With no choice but to let it go, Xinan continued posing for photos.
