Chapter 865: Chapter 865: An Unexpected Surprise

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Gu Huanhuan got off the stage, the host said, “Congratulations once again to the cast and crew of ‘Meeting by Chance’ for winning three awards at this year’s Golden Bear Film Festival. Outstanding movies resonate with people and are recognized. Let’s hope for more such great works!”

The applause from the audience rang on.

Soon, the awards ceremony came to an end.

There was a celebration party after the awards ceremony but Gu Huanhuan was eager to go home. She had just checked her phone and saw Wen Chi’s congratulatory message.

“Sweetheart, you’re the best. You’re also the female lead in my life.”

Gu Huanhuan’s heart melted when she saw the message. She knew that he was the person who would always have her back.

However, because she was too busy with people congratulating her non-stop, she didn’t have time to reply to his message. She could only wish that she’d be home as soon as possible.

After a while, Susie walked up to her without the embarrassment and loss she felt on the red carpet. She stood next to Gu Huanhuan and said, “Thank you for helping me out just now, but the next Best Lead Actress award will not be yours. If I hadn’t accidentally lost the female lead role in ‘Meeting by Chance’, this award wouldn’t be yours too.”

Her tone was very confident, a little bring-it-on.

“Challenge accepted.” Gu Huanhuan said indifferently. She didn’t know what else to say when Susie kept insisting that she stole her role…

At the end of the day, Susie cared too much about winning or losing. It seemed that some people were born this way and it was difficult for them to change.

Susie glanced at Gu Huanhuan before she walked away.

As soon as she left, Shen Weiwei leaned over and asked, “What happened?”

“Susie felt that she should have won the Best Lead Actress award today.” Gu Huanhuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Is there something wrong with her brain? Why would she think that? Even if that thing didn’t happen to her, she might not even have become the female lead. Even if she got the role, how sure is she that she would win the Best Lead Actress award?” Shen Weiwei felt indignant for Gu Huanhuan.

“You should have let her embarrass herself just now. Such an ungrateful woman!” Shen Weiwei said angrily.

“Never mind her. Let’s not stoop to her level.” Gu Huanhuan understood that Susie simply felt upset and needed to vent.

“I haven’t congratulated you yet. Go girl!” Shen Weiwei said excitedly, as if she was the one who won the award.

“Thank you. You work hard too. It’ll be your turn next time.” Gu Huanhuan said sincerely. She was more chilled nowadays. She used to be a snob, but after being with Wen Chi, she had let many things go.

“Me? No way. I know my limits.” Shen Weiwei would never dream of winning the Best Lead Actress award.

Gu Huanhuan smiled. Finally, their post-award celebration came to an end.

The cast and crew slowly trickled out of the party venue.

Just as Gu Huanhuan was about to leave, her phone rang. “The post-award celebration is over, right? Come out. I’m waiting for you outside. I’ll send you my location.” Wen Chi’s voice suddenly came from the phone.

Gu Huanhuan was delighted. She did not expect him to come and pick her up.

“Alright, wait a moment.”

After she hung up, she received a message.

Gu Huanhuan walked out quickly.

As it was late and everyone was in a hurry to go home, no one paid any attention to her.

Gu Huanhuan could already see Wen Chi’s car from afar.

She walked over, opened the door to the front passenger seat and got in.

Wen Chi reached to the back seat and picked up a bouquet of lilies. “Congratulations, my best lead actress. You’re amazing.”

With that, he leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Gu Huanhuan took the bouquet from him and held it in her arms. Her face was full of smiles as she said, “Thank you, Dr. Wen.”
