Chapter 426: The Proposal
Qin Muxuan thought she had heard it wrong and was dazed for a while. It wasn’t until He Ying nudged her that she showed an expression of disbelief.
“Me?” Qin Muxuan looked at Xiaobai and asked for confirmation.
Xiaobai smiled and nodded. Qin Muxuan stood up, suppressed her excitement, elegantly tidied up her skirt and walked on the stage that was shining brightly.
“Congratulations,” the presenter smiled and gave her a hug, congratulating her sincerely.
Qin Muxuan hugged her and responded with a smile, “Thank you, thank you very much.”
The trophy was a blooming flower with smooth lines. Its main body was golden and glittering, with Qin Muxuan’s name and the award she received were engraved on the obsidian base.
“Come on, Miss Qin, I’m sure that you must be very excited to get this award. Is there anything you want to say?” The presenter leaned slightly sideways and said as she gave the floor to Qin Muxuan.
Qin Muxuan knew that it was time to say her acceptance speech.
She held the trophy in her hands, and with obvious excitement, she slowly said, “I’m really happy to be able to get this award, and I’m very surprised…”
She wrote the acceptance speech beforehand. Even though she didn’t expect that she would really get the award, she still prepared everything.
Gu Zijin was sitting under the stage. He looked at the most dazzling existence on stage, his heart filled with love.
He smiled and looked at her attentively. This most beautiful flower belonged to him. No one could take her away from him.
Qin Muxuan’s speech ended quickly and she bowed deeply amidst the applause from the audience. And the moment she raised her head, she saw Gu Zijin smiling at her and clapping.
She couldn’t help but smile at him too and then she carried the train of her dress and walked to the side of the stage.
However, she saw Xiaobai waiting below the stage. Seeing her walk over, Xiaobai smiled sweetly at her and went up to help carry the long train of her dress.
Only after the mother and son walked to their seats and sat down did Qin Muxuan’s heartbeat gradually slowed down.
He Ying teased, “What? You’re not happy to get the award?”
Qin Muxuan said, “Stop teasing me. You shall get an award later and you will know if you’re happy or not.”
He Ying covered her mouth and sneered, “Well, since you’ve won this award, you’ll definitely get a lot of TV series appointments. And you might even receive a movie script.”
“I won’t take any,” Qin Muxuan shook her head and said, “I won’t shoot in the future.”
“What?” He Ying was stunned.
Qin Muxuan pursed her lips and smiled. “I plan to quit acting, so I will be able to manage the company wholeheartedly.”
Her eyes were clear and firm. Compared with the bright lights, her eyes were by no means inferior. Instead, she looked particularly beautiful.
He Ying was also attracted by her and muttered, “That’s good too.”
The awards after that had nothing to do with Qin Muxuan. She sat under the stage and sincerely applauded for the other winners.
Undoubtedly, tonight’s biggest winner is “By Qinhuai River”. It won six awards in total. Though the award ceremony wasn’t over yet, the news about it must have gone viral.
After the long award ceremony, the evening party finally came to an end.
Qin Muxuan secretly let out a sigh of relief. It was finally over. In order to maintain her composure, her waist was sore.
Next to her, Xiaobai started to get nervous. After the award ceremony was over, it would be his father’s meticulous arrangement. He must succeed this time!
The host on stage was finishing the closing remarks when she changed her tone, “Coming next is an extra part of tonight’s party!”
“Please wait a few minutes.”
Then, the lights on the stage suddenly went off. The people below the stage could only vaguely see someone walking around. They couldn’t see clearly what was going on.
The crowd started to chatter but they didn’t dare to stand up. They waited patiently before the lights went on.
“Da Bai, follow me.”
Xiaobai held Qin Muxuan’s hand and together they walked in the darkness.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Xiaobai, what are you doing? It’s dark here. Running around like this is too dangerous!” Qin Muxuan felt like she was pushed onto the stage and sat in a soft seat.
What was going on?
They didn’t wait for too long and Qin Muxuan’s doubts were quickly gone.
The warm lights lit up and there was a huge pink heart-shaped decoration on the stage. Soft white feathers and colored balloons were everywhere.
Qin Muxuan sat on the European-style sofa like she was the Venus descending from the heaven.
Xiaobai stood beside her like a loyal knight.
In the shadow at the edge of the stage, a tall man walked towards Qin Muxuan step by step.
Qin Muxuan looked at him in disbelief. She opened her mouth slightly and her mind went blank. She was even more dazed than she had been when she just learned that she had won the award.
She could vaguely guess what Gu Zijin was going to do and she became nervous.
Gu Zijin walked to Qin Muxuan with a smile, then knelt on one knee and raised the bouquet in his hand to Qin Muxuan.
At that moment, fireworks erupted around the stage. The fire trees and sliver flowers looked so romantic and wonderful.
Qin Muxuan heard Gu Zijin saying in a deep and mellow voice, “Muxuan, I love you. Will you marry me?”
Qin Muxuan felt a lump in her throat and crystal tears streamed down her cheeks.
Before she could think about it, she covered her mouth and nodded.
“Yes, I will!”
Gu Zijin smiled satisfactorily, stood up, took out the ring he had prepared and put it on Qin Muxuan’s slender middle finger.
They embraced each other under the blazing fireworks in the sky, enjoying the love and happiness of this moment.
Meanwhile, the people off stage and the netizens were discussing heatedly. Everyone was taken aback by Gu Zijin’s unexpected way of proposing.
“Proposing at the Qianhua Awards?! Impressive!”
“I must be mistaken! My idol actually proposed to Qin Xuan?”
“Is this the love story of the rich people? I’m so jealous.”
“Looking out from my window, I can see the outer LED walls of the nearby buildings saying, ‘Qin Xuan, I love you.'”
“I saw it too!”
…
All the people below the stage were discussing about it too, and everyone was impressed by Gu Zijin. He was capable of persuading the sponsors and organizers of the Qianhua Awards to let him propose in their venue right on the night of the award ceremony.
The female celebrities were all envious of Qin Muxuan.
After the two of them hugged each other excitedly on stage, they finally remembered that there were so many people watching them.
Qin Muxuan blushed but Gu Zijin was thick-skinned. He held her hand and thanked everyone.
When they left the venue, the three of them were surrounded by reporters.
Gu Zijin was unprecedentedly patient and answered all the questions he could answer in detail.
Qin Muxuan also took this opportunity to announce that she would quit acting and that she would run her company wholeheartedly.
The moment she said that, there was an uproar again.
Everything was finally over and she could finally get into the car. Qin Muxuan sat in the passenger seat and let out a long sigh.
“I’m too tired. All I want now is a sound sleep.”
