Yao Bao was very smart and understood immediately. He nodded obediently, "I understand, Mommy."
"So good."
Gu Nian kissed him happily, turned around and turned on the computer.
…
In the evening, the sunset on the horizon is covered with thin clouds, and the bright red color extends to the far end, making the already romantic streets of country F become lazy and comfortable.
Gu Nian wore a tailored dress and arrived at the award ceremony on time.
Many people who knew her identity came up to greet her, take photos with the legendary queen, and even her fans came to ask for autographs.
Gu Nian responded with a smile until the staff came and asked her to wait.
After bidding farewell to the speaker, she turned around and left with the staff.
On the awards stage, she looked like a queen full of honors, enjoying the applause from the audience.
While waiting for the award, suddenly, a figure suddenly caught her sight.
She looked carefully and saw Lu Shiqian on the judges' bench below!
Why is he here?
Could it be that I met him and Yu Bao on the plane before...
Gu Nian suddenly figured out the reason for all this.
However, the Lu Group has never had much connection with the fashion industry, and now it is still involved in such a wide range of businesses?
"Miss Queen, have you been looking at Mr. Lu at the judges' table? Is it because you met him before?"
The host saw Gu Nian staring at Lu Shiqian, lost in thought, and couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
She should be a local, and her English has a faint French accent, which you can tell if you listen carefully. There is a strong sense of gossip in her eyes at this moment, and she is obviously very curious about this matter.
After hearing her words, the people below also started to cheer.
Gu Nian's red lips curled up, "Of course I know the famous Mr. Lu. I'm just a little curious, why did Mr. Lu show up at the Times Gold Award ceremony?"
The Times Gold Award is the name of this design award. Gu Nian only thought that this was an ordinary award for her, but she did not expect that she would bump into Lu Shiqian as a judge.
Is it an accident...or is it intentional?
The host didn't hear any gossip and was obviously a little disappointed. Then he laughed heartily and said, "You may not know that Mr. Lu is the sponsor of the Our Times Gold Award, so he naturally has the right to participate in the judging."
Gu Nian raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it."
No wonder he appears here, he is actually a sponsor.
Immediately, she laughed, wondering what Lu Shiqian's purpose was in suddenly sponsoring this award.
Her eyes met the man's in the air for a second, and then she moved away pretending to be calm, but she was secretly frightened in her heart.
Lu Shiqian had just experienced a corporate crisis some time ago, but he had made a wonderful turnaround in such a short period of time, and even reorganized his development direction. It seems that he is now preparing to enter the fashion industry...
She gave him a half-hearted look and said, no matter what his plans were, just don't take her with him.
The host asked many more questions about design, and Gu Nian answered in an orderly manner. The confidence on her face seemed to make her even more radiant.
Lu Shiqian looked at her from below, and the expression on his face couldn't help but soften.
Gu Nian was like the most dazzling star in the sky at this moment, and the only shining star in his heart.
Not long after, the host began to introduce the judges, and it was about to come on stage to award awards.
Lu Shiqian buttoned up his suit and was about to go on stage. Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He glanced at the host on the stage who hadn't finished speaking, then took out his cell phone and took a casual look.
I thought it was some kind of work information, but my pupils suddenly shrank when I saw the picture.
It's Gu Nian! With a... boy?
In the photo, Gu Nian is wearing a mask, only revealing a pair of smart eyes.
She was holding a child in her arms, with a mask and hat covering almost her entire face. She placed gentle kisses on the side of the child's face, and her overflowing love could be felt through the screen.
He had imagined and longed for this scene, but now, this situation was not what he expected.
What followed was a text message.
Unexpectedly, the person you have been thinking about for so many years has completely forgotten about you and has someone else's child abroad!
Lu Shiqian frowned subconsciously. He didn't recognize this unfamiliar number, and it was also a French number.
But the person who sent the text message obviously knew what he cared about... At least the photo and the text message caused quite a stir in his heart.
His heart ached slightly.
What is the purpose of this person?
What he said...is it true or false?
Lu Shiqian thought about this question, and although he didn't want to admit it, he already had the answer in his heart.
That photo doesn't look like it was composited... If it wasn't her child, how could Gu Nian be so kind to her?
Lu Shiqian's face turned a bit ugly, he put down his phone, calmed down for a moment, then stood up and walked to the stage without changing his expression.
Gu Nian on the stage looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, with no wavering in his eyes.
Seeing that Lu Shiqian had come up, the host dutifully started the topic.
"Next, I would like to ask Mr. Lu to present an award to the queen."
"I wonder if Mr. Lu, our era's gold medal winner, has any words of congratulations he would like to say to our queen?"
After speaking, the host handed the microphone to Lu Shiqian.
Lu Shiqian took it calmly and turned to look at the dazzling woman next to him with complicated eyes, "She has always been excellent."
"I wish her the best in the future."
What they said was serious, but many people heard hints of ambiguity in it, and the eyes they looked at the two of them couldn't help but become meaningful.
Gu Nian only felt ironic when hearing these words.
Do you admit that she is excellent now? Didn’t you dislike her at all before?
She looked at the audience with a fake smile. After all, the media was here and it was hard for her to show off. If it were in private, she would have turned around and left. She couldn't stand such hypocrisy.
Just when she was in a daze with a fake smile, Lu Shiqian hugged her gently, leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Nian Nian, congratulations."
The deep voice carried an electric current in the noisy environment, but it did not flow into Gu Nian's heart.
She twitched the corner of her mouth with a smile on her face, "I have to thank Mr. Lu for spending the money. If it weren't for your sponsorship, my trophy might not be so big."
It was obviously ironic, but Lu Shiqian laughed softly.
It's funny that Gu Nian can still tell such cute jokes now.
Gu Nian resisted the urge to roll her eyes and turned her gaze aside.
The host smiled like a flower and raised his eyebrows at the two of them, "Our awards ceremony is coming to an end, why don't we take a photo alone with the Queen and our President Lu?"
"After all, a designer as talented as Queen is honored to accept the award. This is the highlight moment of our award!"
When Gu Nian heard this, her first reaction was to refuse.
But before she could say her words of rejection, the man beside her smiled broadly and said, "Of course, it's my honor."
"..."
An extremely embarrassed smile appeared on Gu Nian's lips.
