Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Are You Willing to Go Home with a Handsome Guy Tonight?

"You..." Xinan was incredulous, Cheng Yi had actually hugged her in front of so many people.

"Don’t move, everyone is watching." Cheng Yi held her tightly, his voice slightly hoarse.

Xinan thought to herself, "You know there are so many people watching below the stage too!"

"Ah!!!"

At that moment, a chorus of screams burst out around them, even the clicking of camera shutters intensified as if this was the most thrilling scene they had ever witnessed.

The hug didn’t last too long; Cheng Yi made it brief and soon released Xinan.

The host came out to smooth things over, "Hahaha, everyone, don’t get too excited yet, let’s have our female lead say a few words about her award."

Xinan took a deep breath, stepped up to the microphone, and bowed to everyone, "Thank you all for your support!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and Xinan smiled brilliantly, "Standing here today, receiving the Qingyi Award for Best Female Lead, I’m actually very surprised, as I feel there’s still so much to learn from so many outstanding actors. I never expected to win this award."

Xinan paused and added, "But receiving this award today also shows everyone’s recognition of my acting skills! I’m very happy."

As soon as her words ended, there was a wave of cheers from below.

"Xinan, you’re the best!"

"Xinan, you’re my idol, I love you so much!"

"Ah, I’m going crazy!"

Xinan smiled warmly at the crowd, a gentle smile on her face. She waved to the audience then Cheng Yi took her hand, and they walked off the stage together.

After stepping down, Xinan covered her chest and took a deep breath.

Seeing Xinan like this, Cheng Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "What, my big star gets nervous too?"

"Hmph, mind your own business." Xinan gave Cheng Yi an annoyed look.

"Are you angry?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Xinan pursed her lips, "You said you were going to join me on the red carpet, but you only arrived now."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi gently touched Xinan’s head, his eyes showing a hint of apology: "I’m sorry, baby, something came up at the company last minute, so I was late."

In fact, there had been an emergency shareholder’s meeting today. Cheng Yi had planned to leave early, but an unforeseen issue arose, and the board members insisted on keeping him, leaving him no choice but to stay.

But he had not expected their discussion to go on for so long...

"Why are you so busy, your health..." Xinan asked worriedly.

Cheng Yi shook his head with a smile, "I’m fine, I just don’t want my baby to be angry with me about this."

His repeated endearments of ’baby’ made Xinan’s cheeks flush slightly, "I wasn’t really angry with you."

She was just afraid something had happened to Cheng Yi.

"That’s good."

With those words, Cheng Yi suddenly bent down and leaned close to Xinan, "Baby, you look absolutely stunning today."

Blush fluttered across Xinan’s cheeks. With Cheng Yi this close, she noticed he was wearing the suit she had given him.

He was actually wearing it!

They had fought before, and Xinan had not had the chance to see Cheng Yi fully dressed in this suit; now she finally got her wish.

Just as she had imagined, it really suited him.

"You look pretty handsome today too," Xinan complimented him as well.

Cheng Yi smirked playfully, his tone teasing, "What do you mean ’pretty handsome today’, am I not handsome usually?"

Xinan quickly corrected herself, "You’re handsome usually, just especially so tonight."

Because he was wearing the suit she had given him, so he was a thousand times handsomer than usual.

Cheng Yi’s smile deepened, "Really?"

"Of course!"

"So, big star, would you like to go home with a handsome guy tonight?" His peach blossom eyes were slightly squinted, his gaze carrying a hint of flirtation.

Xinan certainly understood the meaning behind Cheng Yi’s words. She remained silent for a moment before responding softly, "Then you’ll have to wait for me to change my clothes."

"No problem." Cheng Yi, with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, agreed cheerfully.

After the best actor award was presented, the award ceremony soon concluded, and all the celebrities began to leave one by one.

Because there were fans outside, Xinan did not leave with Cheng Yi and asked him to wait for her in the car.

Xinan went backstage, where Ding Lan and Meng Qiu had been waiting for a while.

Ding Lan cleared some items off a chair and helped Xinan sit down, laughing, "Our female lead really worked hard today, sit down and rest a bit."

Xinan suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why did everyone like calling her the female lead today!

First, it was Cheng Yi, and now Ding Lan.

"Sister Ding Lan, please stop teasing me."

"I’m not teasing you," Ding Lan said. "From today, you’re officially a sensation, a big sensation. Your name and Mr. Yi’s are all over the internet."

Xinan frowned, then pulled out her phone to check Weibo.

Sure enough, just as Ding Lan had said, she and Cheng Yi occupied the top three spots on the trending searches list.

#Yifeng Group CEO Cheng Yi presents award to Xinan

#Xinan wins Qingyi Award for Best Female Lead

#Cheng Yi is the poolside hunk

Any one of these trending topics alone could grab countless people’s attention and spark discussions.

Now that all three were trending simultaneously, it was a total jackpot!

Xinan was practically trembling as she scrolled through the comments.

"Ah, Cheng Yi is so handsome!"

"Damn, Cheng Yi is the poolside hunk, aaaah, the poolside hunk is actually the CEO of Yifeng Group, I’m going crazy."

"I feel like there’s something more between them, Cheng Yi’s gaze towards Xinan was almost melting."

"Add me on the floor above, I have a bold guess, Cheng Yi visited the ’It’s You’ set just to see Xinan, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence."

"Their looks really match well."

"I suspect Cheng Yi is that hidden bigshot."

"..."

Xinan felt that these netizens were just too clever, they had guessed everything right, too scary!

Xinan took a screenshot of the comments and sent it to Cheng Yi: You have to see this!

Cheng Yi responded instantly: They’re quite smart.

Xinan: Is that the point? If things keep going like this, our relationship is going to become public knowledge!

Cheng Yi: That’s quite good, isn’t it? Everyone will know that you’re my, Cheng Yi’s, person.

Xinan: Pretend I didn’t say anything.

After removing her makeup, Xinan changed into the clothes she had brought with her beforehand.

Seeing the gown she had taken off, Xinan then remembered the photos she took today. She opened Weibo again and typed a string of text: Thank you for your support, here are a few photos of beauties, then she uploaded the photos.

But the comments below were not what she had expected...

"Nannan, are you really together with Cheng Yi?"

"Nannan, are you in a relationship?"

"Female celebrities look especially beautiful today!"

Out of ten comments, nine were asking about Cheng Yi.

Suddenly, Xinan felt a sense of suffocation. She had worked so hard for so many years to gain her current popularity, yet Cheng Yi became memorable to everyone overnight.

Indeed, some people are just born for this line of work.
