Chapter 779 - Best New Actress-Xie Ming.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Xie Ming was in awe when the award ceremony started and the performances of the night started. The singers and idols were performing one by one to brighten up the light. However, the excitement, anticipation, and nervousness were also increasing with every passing minute.

She thought she was not nervous but her hands were getting sweaty and her throat was turning dry.

Liwei glanced at her and saw her watching the performances with the utmost attention and was rubbing her hands with her dress out of character. Her hands were trying to find something to do but there was nothing to hold onto, so she was awkwardly rubbing her hands in a while to reduce the emptiness in her hands.

Seeing this, he stretched his hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. Xie Ming was surprised and looked up at him in confusion but he gave her an 'assuring smile' and whispered, " Why are you so fretting over it? Relax! You're going to win, have some confidence in yourself." He said trying to cheer her up, his words indeed worked.

Rather than his comforting words, she was thankful for his confidence in her. Anyone can give her comforting words but gaining someone's trust and confidence is the most dead-difficult thing to do.

How can I be so lucky to have this man by my side? Her eyes were fixated on him and a gentle smile appeared on her face, forgetting that the cameras are everywhere to capture the reaction of the people in the audience.

The cameraman who was moving the camera saw this and turned his camera towards them.

On the large screen, Xie Ming's face appeared while looking into Liwei's eyes. The camera was zoomed into their intertwined hands, which made everyone blush to see their lovely interaction.

The women sitting in the audience glanced at their partners in disappointment seeing the way Liwei was comforting Xie Ming.

The whispers filled up the arena when Xie Ming realized what was happening. When she turned to the large screen that was visible to everyone, her cheeks turned red seeing her face there.

Liwei was caught off guard as well, but he simply adjusted his coat and smirked at the camera as if showing his achievements to the world.

[ Isn't that President Jin Liwei? I never knew that he could smile like that.]

[They look so perfect together. Aya, are we here to attend the award ceremony or eat the dog food?]

[The cameraman should get a raise for capturing this loving scene. Now I feel even more single.]

Xie Ming's face turned even redder upon hearing such words in a whisper. She held her head down to hide from everyone's jealous gazes. How embarrassing!

" It's time to announce the Best Actress of the year. Let's see the nominations on the screen please." The award representative on the stage spoke while looking at her cue card.

Xie Ming pursed her lips seeing her clip from the movie up on the screen and held onto Liwei's hands tightly. It was a suffocating moment as she couldn't even breathe properly due to the nervousness and pressure in the air.

After the video clip showing all the nominations ended, the one who was announcing the awards started to speak again, " So...this year's Best New Actress Award goes to....Xie Ming from Eternal Love. Congratulations to Ms. Xie Ming."

"....."

Xie Ming's mind went blank when her name was announced. Is it real? Liwei wasn't even shocked since he knew she would win. How can she not? She was not acting, she was revitalizing her past self.

He turned to her and saw her dazed appearance. He pulled her in a tight embrace and placed a kiss on her cheek before saying, " Go up. You deserved this."

Her eyes turned teary but she controlled herself from getting emotional and after receiving everyone's congrats, she walked up on the stage. She held onto her long-silk white dress, her wavy curled hairs were making her like a mermaid from behind.

All the women were left in awe seeing her elegant and controlled steps. Even though she was hurried to reach the stage, her body was straight and the posture was well-carried and made her look elegant.

Xie Ming took a deep breath and looked at the people sitting down in the audience. The mic was in front of her and the award was in her hand. The award was a symbol of recognition of her as an actress.

The people that were looking at her expectantly looked smaller to her, the only person she could see was...Liwei, her husband.

She held onto the mic and said in a quivering voice, " This...award...I don't know how to explain my feelings in words. Unlike other awardees, I didn't prepare any speeches. Why? Because I was confident that I am not gonna win, however, there was this person who not only believed but was confident that I am gonna win this award. And that person..is my husband." she looked in his direction and smiled with her teary eyes.

Liwei pursed his lips and controlled himself to walk up to the stage and give her a hug seeing her quivering like this on a stage while holding onto the award. She looked like a shivering rabbit unlike her elegant walking earlier.

How contrasting!

She sniffled while holding onto her tears and continued, " The role of Empress….it was very precious to me. Not because it was my first or last movie, or the important role, but because I could relate to it. Even being at the apex of the power, she was helpless. She only wanted love but what got in return was divided attention which was given to her as compensation."

" People need to know that it was not being a woman, especially in the past when there were uncountable rules and regulations, restricting women at every breath. Having many wives was treated as normal and many movies portray the roles of concubines and other wives as negative and evil. This one was the same, with no exception. However, this role not only focused on the negativity of the character but the reason behind that negativity, that's why I took this role. And I am so glad that I did this memorable movie which is gonna be with me for my whole life."

" I might not act as an actress again, but I am glad that I met such nice and warm-hearted people and got to experience this short roller-coaster journey as an actress. Also, I hope you won't need it, but if any of you feel sick, please come to our hospital. I might not be amazing as an actress but I am confident at my skills as a doctor." Everyone burst into laughter after hearing her words and as said this, she bowed to everyone and left the stage, while the arena was filled with applause for her.

Mr. Han who was sitting in the audience teared up upon hearing her words regarding the role. He never got to hear her thoughts on this and he was glad that she said this.

It was such a big compliment since the movie was written by his late brother and he put his everything into it to bring life to this movie.

When Xie Ming came back to her seat, he stood up and gave her a tight hug. A crease appeared on Liwei's forehead but he didn't disturb their emotional moment, since Mr. Han was a Master to Xie Ming.

" I am so happy that I chose you as my Empress. You're the reason why people remember the role of this antagonist Empress more than the female lead. You deserved this award." He said while holding her hands in his while taking deep breaths in between to control his emotions.

She got the best new actress award which is considered the most important for any new actress's career. However, the night was still long and high, and many awards are still unannounced, waiting for their rightful owner.
