The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 443

After that, the awards had nothing to do with Nan XiangWan anymore. She had only nominated five items. She went back to her seat and sat down with a thud, actually heaving a sigh of relief.

It's finally none of her business!

A member of the A778 group in the second row patted her on the shoulder.

Nan XiangWan looked back and saw a sunny, young face.

The A778 crowd was also curious and gathered around, babbling:

"Were you nervous just now when you went on stage five times in a row?"

"You look so pretty today, Nan XiangWan!"

"Speaking of which, do you mean you don't look pretty on other days?"

"Oh oh, you all look so pretty today!"

Nan XiangWan was confused. She didn't recognize these few people acting so familiar with her.

But she was surrounded by male and female idol groups, most of whom had debuted before them.

So Nan XiangWan braced herself and forced a smile to play along.

Ge Dongxuan suddenly turned her head and said, "Don't joke with her. Would she be nervous? If she was nervous, I'll twist my head off and kick it to you as a ball!"

A778: "......"

After speaking, Ge Dongxuan raised her chin arrogantly.

She had specially checked on the National Defense University. She was shocked to say the least. It was the highest institution of the three armed forces, and only elites could get in. Whether they came out unknown or as big shots!

So Ge Dongxuan knew Nan XiangWan must have aimed to be an artist. These awards were just necessary steps on the path to apotheosis.

The A778 members looked at her differently, but chatted more eagerly. They all wanted to get acquainted with Nan XiangWan, and hopefully exchange contacts...

This scene caught Gu Beihuai's eyes from afar, and he unconsciously frowned.

Gong Jin recklessly said, "She's quite popular?"

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath and stretched out his foot to fiercely stomp on Gong Jin's foot.

Gong Jin let out a muffled grunt of pain, forcibly holding back from shouting out loud, but his expression was extremely twisted as he silently cursed Gu Beihuai with his mouth.

Gu Beihuai didn't even look at him and sat there motionless.

After Gong Jin was done cursing, he asked again, "Hey, why didn't you win any awards? Can't you do it?"

Gu Beihuai took another deep breath.

Gong Jin learned better this time and swiftly pulled his leg back.

A big shot from the music industry next to them couldn't stand watching anymore and said, "King Gu has already won the Grand Slam, so he is not keen on it."

Gong Jin was surprised. "Fox, you're that awesome?"

The people around looked over one after another. Who was this guy that didn't even know King Gu?

Gong Jin felt very proud for Fox, so he crossed his legs arrogantly, looking very pretentious.

Gu Beihuai silently moved his body further away from him.

An award ceremony was very long. Gong Jin was sleepy by the end. It was worth mentioning that Nan XiangWan, who was sitting in the idol group crowd, was also sleepy.

Gu Beihuai glanced over. These two looked exactly the same bowing their heads and napping.

The difference was that Nan XiangWan had her team members to cover for her, so no one knew she was sleeping.

As for Gong Jin, he was despised by the big shots around him. Their expressions didn't look good pointing fingers at him.

When the ceremony ended, it was already 10 pm.

Everyone got up to leave their seats and exited orderly.

Gong Jin yawned and stretched lazily.

In the distance, Nan XiangWan also wanted to stretch, but as soon as she stood up, she was surrounded by people.

There were those congratulating her, asking to take pictures, and asking for her contact.

Not only her, but all seven Tianming girls were met with this.

After all, they were a hot girl group that had won two major awards right after their debut. Nan XiangWan was even more awesome, getting five awards total for individual and group!

These weren't fans, but industry big shots that couldn't be rejected. The seven were busy, not knowing what to do.

Gu Beihuai walked over from afar, inserted himself into the crowd, and said, "Nan XiangWan, want to take your team to get some late-night snacks?"

Nan XiangWan's eyes lit up. "Food!"

The other six Tianming girls also nodded eagerly. If they didn't find an excuse to leave soon, their heads would spin.

Seeing the King appear, everyone hastily took half a step back. Those who didn't get contacts sighed on site, while those who did were ecstatic.

Future collaborations? Hehe!

Gu Beihuai shielded Nan XiangWan as they walked out, keeping a fist distance without actually putting his hand on her back, yet blocking people wanting to get near.

Anyway, he had turned into a bodyguard!

This made Gong Jin next to him somewhat stifled. Was he stealing his job?

The other six Tianming girls jogged after Nan XiangWan, rushing out in a flurry.

Just as the few stepped out of the doors and were about to get in the car, a large group of reporters suddenly swarmed over, carrying cameras and microphones.

They shoved them right at Nan XiangWan's face!

Those cameras flashed as shutters clicked rapidly from above.

Countless reporter voices sounded around:

"Nan XiangWan! Any thoughts on winning five awards in one go?"

"Don't you have an acceptance speech prepared? As a new artist winning Artist of the Year and Best New Artist, aren't you very proud?"

"The Best Composer award is extremely prestigious. How did you achieve it?"

"We heard you wrote the lyrics yourself too, as well as arranged the music. Do you think you can win those two awards next year as well?"

"......"

Countless voices bombarded all at once, accompanied by the endless camera flashes.

Nan XiangWan didn't answer any questions. Instead, she reached out her hand and placed it over Gu Beihuai's already closed eyes.

The moment the reporters rushed over, Gong Jin also stepped forward, single-handedly blocking everyone.

Both their actions happened in the split second, stopping the reporters' assault.

Behind, the other six Tianming girls were stunned. They had never seen such a big scene before and were so frightened they slammed the brakes and froze in place.

Gu Beihuai's body tensed as he kept shielding Nan XiangWan, his hand not leaving his eyes.

Feeling the warmth over his eyes, the corners of his lips hooked up in a smile.

At this time, Nan XiangWan's expression was very ugly. She was very worried about Beibei's eyes that were still recovering from surgery and couldn't be exposed to strong light!

Gong Jin's expression was also unpleasant after blocking everyone. He shouted sharply, "Quiet!"

Everyone around suddenly quieted, and the babble of voices disappeared.

Taking another look ahead, the reporters were all scared into peeing themselves!

King Gu, King Gu, King Gu?!

"Quick, turn off the camera flashes!"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, we didn't know you were here!"

"Sorry, sorry, we've turned off the flashes."

Everyone was panicking and had lost their minds.

Gu Beihuai never walked the red carpet nor took many pictures.

Many didn't even know he disliked showing his face. Later, with Tan Shen's repeated probes, the issue with Gu Beihuai's eyes had spread in the industry.

So these reporters were so flustered now!

If something were to happen to the King's eyes because of them, who would take responsibility?

Gong Jin took advantage of the chaos to stride forward and clear a path.

Nan XiangWan pulled Gu Beihuai along to get in the car. The other six Tianming girls also hurried to catch up and got in another car.

Retreat first for safety!
