Chapter 252 Waiting for my King to come and take me home.
Chapter 252 Waiting for my King to come and take me home.
With a beaming smile, the host announced: "Next, we will unveil the highlight of tonight's Weibo Night, and the honors that everyone is most looking forward to—the Weibo Queen and Weibo King."
The staff handed over two envelopes containing the names of the award winners.
The host took the envelope and solemnly introduced, "This award is the result of a comprehensive review of various data and expert evaluations, and it is of great significance."
As she listened to the people on stage speaking, Yan Zhuoyu's palms became slightly damp. Her heart raced inexplicably, especially when the host's gaze swept over her. She wondered if it could be her.
Just when she thought the winner was about to be announced, the host deliberately kept her in suspense.
The host realized that if she delayed any longer, the viewers in the live broadcast room might complain, so she raised her voice and announced: "The recipient of the Weibo Queen honor is—"
"Yan Zhuoyu, let's congratulate her together."
After the host announced the winners of the two awards, background music started playing, and applause erupted from the audience.
Yan Zhuoyu felt a momentary ringing in her ears and was stunned, as if her soul had left her body as she stood on high ground overlooking everything.
She only came to her senses after Fan Wenran patted her on the shoulder.
Fan Wenran smiled brightly: "Sister Yan, hurry up and go on stage to receive your award, or they'll confiscate it from you in a second tonight."
Yan Zhuoyu stood up and said, "Okay, thank you."
Along the way, she responded to many people's congratulations.
Another award-winning actor made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation to Yan Zhuoyu, and almost simultaneously, Yan Zhuoyu also made a ladylike gesture of invitation, just as polite as he was.
Just as the host was about to invite the chairman of Weibo to the stage, a staff member hurriedly ran to the host's side, whispered something, and then quickly left the stage.
As if sensing something, Yan Zhuoyu turned her head and glanced at the audience below the stage.
A familiar, tall figure emerged from the crowd and rushed toward her.
The host's voice rang out at the right moment: "Next, please welcome Mr. Pei Weijin, CEO of the Pei Group, to the stage to present them with flowers and give them your encouragement and praise."
Pei Weijin went on stage, took the flowers from the hostess, and handed them to Yan Zhuoyu.
As they shook hands, his dark green patterned tie draped down, echoing the color of her dark green coat.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, their hands touched briefly before quickly separating.
"Congratulations to Ms. Yan on receiving the King honor."
The host's expression changed slightly. He wanted to point out that the award name was wrong, but after hesitating for a moment, he missed his chance and simply pretended not to hear. In any case, the director didn't dare to turn the camera around to film President Pei.
After presenting the flowers to Yan Zhuoyu, Pei Weijin turned to the male actor and said politely yet distantly, "Congratulations."
He stood naturally between the two, waiting for them to finish their acceptance speeches before leaving the stage.
After the event ended, Weibo's trending topics were once again a diverse mix, almost all of them related to the gala.
During the dinner, considering that it was inconvenient for the sisters to talk when there were men present, Pei Weijin and the other two went to the next private room without disturbing them.
Fan Wenran and Xie Fu were not familiar with each other, so Yan Zhuoyu sat in the middle to act as a bridge.
Yan Zhuoyu gestured to the waiter to give the menu to Fan Wenran: "Let our idol order first, see what he wants to eat, it's on me today."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Fan Wenran didn't bother with any of the empty polite formalities and directly ordered two dishes he wanted to eat, then handed the menu to the others.
While waiting for their food to be served, Yan Zhuoyu and her friends took a group photo and posted it on Weibo, writing: "[We succeeded in meeting our idol!]"
Yan Zhuoyu just won the Weibo Queen award today, and her popularity is currently very high. As soon as the Weibo post was published, it immediately went viral and became a trending topic.
Previously, when the cameras were rolling at the event, Fan Wenran hadn't had enough time to talk about gossip. Now that she had more time and the restaurant offered good privacy, she continued talking about the latest entertainment news.
Fan Wenran debuted as a child star and has been acting since he was a child. In addition to the latest gossip about these popular young actors, he is also very knowledgeable about the old stories of those veteran actors.
Yan Zhuoyu listened so intently that she forgot to eat; this was far more exciting than the internet.
She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, casually sharing some with Xie Fu, and asked, "Really? Liu Nan is Director Liu and Li Hong's child? Does Director Liu's husband know that Liu Nan isn't his child?"
Fan Wenran nodded: "I know, Director Liu's husband used to work in the sea a few years ago, and I think he even made a movie with Li Hong. They fell in love on set, but Li Hong is straight, so he got heartbroken and went back to the mainland."
Xie Fu understood and concluded, "I get it. Director Liu's husband doesn't want to break up this family; he just wants to join it."
Yan Zhuoyu gave her a thumbs up: "Brilliant."
……
After having eaten and drunk to their hearts' content, Fan Wenran said goodbye to Yan Zhuoyu and the others, and then left with her agent.
After seeing Qiao Xinyun and Qiu Tong off, Yan Zhuoyu went to the next private room to pick up Pei Weijin.
When the door to the private room was opened, only Pei Weijin remained, sitting obediently in a chair.
Hearing the sound, he looked up at Yan Zhuoyu.
Even though he didn't say anything, Yan Zhuoyu could read a sense of loneliness in his eyes, like "kindergarten is over, all the other kids have been picked up, and I'm still waiting."
Her heart softened, and she walked up to Pei Weijin, patting his head: "Why are you being so good?"
Pei Weijin took her hand and gently kissed the back of it: "Waiting for my King to come and take me home."
Yan Zhuoyu was pleased, so she hung the bag containing the three trophies on his hand: "Then help me carry the bag home."
"it is good."
Before leaving, Yan Zhuoyu glanced at the clean and tidy dining table and muttered, "You cleaned this private room really fast. Our room hasn't been cleaned yet."
Pei Weijin smiled faintly: "It's not that the waiters cleaned up quickly, it's that we didn't eat."
"Huh? You didn't eat?" Yan Zhuoyu asked in confusion.
He opened the back door for Yan Zhuoyu and said, "I want to go home and have dinner with you. Huo Wenji is planning to do the same."
Yan Zhuoyu got into the car and sat down, then asked with a smile, "What about Fu Zhuchen?"
Pei Weijin also laughed: "He said he felt disgusted listening to me and Huo Wenji talk, and he ran away less than a minute after sitting down."
