Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 396 The White Moonlight in the Substitute Novel (46)
A certain awards ceremony, which is usually very lively, is a gathering of many stars.
The once bustling red carpet suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and all cameras automatically focused on the slowly opening door of the extended Lincoln.
The moment Gu Xiaoxiao stepped out of the car in her crystal shoes, the cold December wind whipped her long black hair, and the scattered pearl tassels in her hair shattered into a silver river under the flashing lights.
The hashtag "[Gu Xiaoxiao's Mermaid Tear Dress]" suddenly appeared at the top of the trending search list three seconds after the live stream started.
A smoky gray haute couture gown flowed along her porcelain-white skin, with hundreds of South Sea pearls gathered at her waist in a teardrop-shaped cutout. When the broadcast camera zoomed in for a close-up, viewers across the internet held their breath—the sapphire adorning her collarbone rippled with light with each breath, as if she were wearing the entire Aegean Sea on her body.
【Help! My sister's collarbone can hold wine!】 The barrage of comments suddenly exploded with golden reward effects.
Is this waistline real? We suggest applying for intangible cultural heritage status.
[I need to know the jewelry brand within five minutes! Wait... isn't that the 'Heart of the Ocean' that was the grand finale of He Group's auction yesterday?!]
[Oh my god, is CEO He now our goddess's boss? This boss is really generous! I confess my love to CEO He!]
Gu Xiaoxiao turned around in front of the autograph wall, her skirt swirling and shimmering. As she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the camera precisely captured the inconspicuous words "H&G" engraved on the outside of her necklace, instantly flooding the screen with comments like "[???"].
The quill pen handed to her by the host was suddenly swept away by the night wind, and Gu Xiaoxiao's profile as she looked up in pursuit was captured and became the most iconic image of the year.
After thanking her, Gu Xiaoxiao picked up her pen and began to slowly and methodically sign her name.
Moonlight streamed across the pale blue veins on her swan-like neck, and under close-up, the gold powder at the corners of her eyes revealed a string of tiny Russian characters, making her look as beautiful as an elf.
When the host announced "Gu Xiaoxiao," the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
A spotlight shone directly on Gu Xiaoxiao, who was staring blankly to her right, seemingly looking at something. It wasn't until someone next to her reminded her that she realized the host was calling her name.
There is also a passage in the original work where the original owner had to star in some bad movies because her company's economy was declining, which caused her reputation to plummet and she was even voted the most disappointing actress by the audience.
The original owner didn't want to accept such a ridiculous award at first, but after seeing He Jing backstage, she changed her mind and decided to create a "black-and-red" persona to make He Jing feel sorry for her, so she pretended to be disappointed when she went on stage to accept the award.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the screen and saw that it was still the nomination for Most Disappointing Actress. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then decided to follow the original owner's method. Before leaving, she glanced at the right-hand side one last time, then went on stage with a wry smile to accept the award.
Thirty-six crystal chandeliers simultaneously focused on the top of the spiral staircase. As Gu Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt and took her first step down, the number of viewers watching the live stream skyrocketed by tens of thousands per second.
A smoky blue silk gown cascaded down the gilded railing, three thousand tiny diamonds shimmering at her waist in a flowing, star-like arc. As her shoes touched the second step, a fleeting glimpse of her snow-white ankles through the high slit of her skirt sent the live chat erupting into a sea of screams of "Ahhhhhh!"
Although this time the goddess's work was terrible, her face and temperament are unmatched in the Chinese entertainment industry, so I'm willing to forgive her acting skills.
She's so genuine! She'd personally go on stage to accept such a terrible award.
【Ahhhhh, I'm so sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that. It's all because I love you too much, so my love is so deep that my hate is so intense. I only voted out of anger. Please don't be too sad! I feel so guilty!】
He Jing stood up briskly, his dark suit sharply tailored. The way he adjusted his bow tie revealed a gold-plated watch on his wrist and a wedding ring on his ring finger.
The live chat suddenly experienced a series of stutters and glitches.
[Holy crap! Who is this person? Is this some ancient Greek god of beauty?!]
[Found it! The youngest person in charge of the He Group! Wait, look at the ring on his ring finger... oh my god, is he getting married young again?!]
[The watch on He Jing's wrist is a one-of-a-kind Patek Philippe Moonphase Perpetual, worth a small fortune—the kind that makes someone extremely wealthy!]
[Isn't that Gu Xiaoxiao's current boss? Wow, he's good-looking enough to debut as a celebrity!]
[I just want to know, what is He Jing doing here?]
Just as Gu Xiaoxiao lightly placed her right hand on the spiral escalator, He Jing stopped exactly three steps away.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced back at the corner of the stairs, the arc of light from her pearl earring sweeping across He Jing's Adam's apple. Her deliberately slowed half-step allowed her skirt to spread out over the last three steps.
"Why did you come along?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at He Jing with some shock and disapproval.
He Jing raised his right hand at just the right moment, hovering behind her waist. From the overhead shot, it looked like he was supporting a stranded mermaid.
When the two finally appeared in the same frame, the 4K camera involuntarily switched to slow motion. The arc of Gu Xiaoxiao's hair fluttering was perfectly synchronized with the frequency of He Jing's tie swaying, and the sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground was precisely timed to the rustling of her skirt sweeping across the marble, as if it were a waltz that had been rehearsed a thousand times.
This looks like a wedding! I've brought the Civil Affairs Bureau with me!
[Who knows what's going on in President He's eyes! He's not walking; he's escorting the Queen's crown!]
[These two are so strangely compatible! I'm going crazy, I actually think a married goddess and my domineering boss are kind of a good match! Someone please snap me out of this, waaaaah!]
The trending topics list is refreshing at an alarming rate:
One step, one life, lotus burst
Swan and Wolf Boil
The 0.5-second time difference aesthetic trend
Just as netizens were discussing it heatedly, the host stepped in at the perfect moment to explain: "Next, let's invite Mr. He Jing, Chairman of the He Group, to personally present this award to Ms. Gu Xiaoxiao!"
Before she could finish speaking, He Jing smiled slightly at Gu Xiaoxiao at the same moment, as if they were telepathically connected, and said softly, "Ms. Gu, I'm so sorry, I just happen to be an award presenter tonight."
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao quickly banished all the chaotic thoughts from her mind, and gave a slightly embarrassed but polite smile, replying, "Oh, I see. Well, Mr. He, you must be very sorry to have lost face like this for the first time."
However, this conversation caused a huge uproar among netizens.
[Oh my god, this is so upsetting! The chairman actually presented his own employee with the 'Most Disappointing Actress' award—isn't that a blatant slap in the face?!]
[Yeah, what were the organizers thinking? I really don't understand them anymore!]
This is outrageous! Even if Gu Xiaoxiao's acting is bad, you can't humiliate her like this!
No matter how much the viewers in the live stream protested, the live stream continued.
The moment Gu Xiaoxiao stepped onto the main stage, twelve circular screens suddenly began playing a montage of her roles over the years. He Jing paused at the top of the steps, and the action of unbuttoning his suit jacket revealed his wedding ring on his ring finger to the entire internet—it seemed somewhat dated and didn't quite match his current status.
As Gu Xiaoxiao accepted the trophy, He Jing's shadow completely enveloped her trailing dress. She took a half-step forward into the spotlight, and he stepped back half a step in the shadows, always maintaining a distance where he could easily reach out and pull her into his arms. This fatal sense of control caused the live stream to suddenly freeze—thirty million people simultaneously taking screenshots caused the server to crash.
When it came time for the thank-you segment, He Jing suddenly stepped to the side to block the bright light shining from his side. This subconscious protective action made Gu Xiaoxiao feel flattered, and she took several steps back.
Gu Xiaoxiao's attempts to avoid suspicion were so obvious that not only did He Jing's expression turn sour, but even netizens who had just been shipping Gu Xiaoxiao and He Jing began to think that Gu Xiaoxiao had no feelings for He Jing and that they were just ordinary colleagues.
The spotlight glared at He Jing, freezing him like ice crystals beneath his lowered eyelashes. As Gu Xiaoxiao subtly stepped back, his knuckles, which were caressing his wedding ring, suddenly tightened. The dark blue tie below his Adam's apple trembled slightly with each swallow, like chains restraining a wild beast about to break free of its skin.
"Mr. He, are you married?" The moment the host's voice rose at the end, He Jing suddenly lifted his eyelids. The cold white light sliced through his irises, creating a gray-blue rift, and the curve of his thin lips made his left dimple look like a dangerous vortex.
He flicked his finger at the subtle "hx" lettering engraved on the inner wall of his wristband, the moon phase reticle of his wristwatch turning to a waning crescent. "Secret marriage—" the clicking of the mechanical gears mingled with a cold laugh in his throat, "After all, she's my wife, and I'm still in the observation period."
The camera suddenly cuts to Gu Xiaoxiao's trembling fingertips. Her rose-colored nails are sinking into the silver thread embroidery of her Chanel haute couture gown, and her shoulder blades, visible beneath the sheer fabric, rise and fall with her breath like shattered glass.
When the host posed the question of "most disappointing actress," the camera abruptly turned to Li Heng below the stage. "I accept all criticism," she said, her knuckles white as she gripped the microphone.
Suddenly, a burst of camera shutters erupted from the audience, accompanied by the instantaneous freezing of He Jing's pupils into ice crystals.
Sensing a bombshell, the host practically shoved the microphone into Gu Xiaoxiao's face, "So, Miss Gu's mistake this time was because of Mr...?" A spotlight suddenly swept across Li Heng in the VIP section, where He Jing's Burruti leather shoes had already crushed a rose petal on the floor.
A blush spread from Gu Xiaoxiao's face to the corners of her eyes. "My husband..." The skin around her carotid artery shone translucently under the light, making her appear delicate and vulnerable.
The comments section exploded when Gu Xiaoxiao mentioned "Mr." and netizens with keen eyes quickly captured three amazing images: the balance ring on Li Heng's right little finger is the same style as Gu Xiaoxiao's earring.
The Graff yellow diamond brooch on Li Heng's suit lapel rose and fell with every word Gu Xiaoxiao spoke; but when she mentioned the word "sir," his pen smeared ink on his speech, clearly lost in thought.
Netizens are going crazy over this!
As Gu Xiaoxiao's back touched the lingering warmth of He Jing's suit, camera number four was recording the taut curve of his jawline at 120 frames per second.
Until the words "temporarily retiring from the entertainment industry" shattered the frozen air, his right hand, which was hanging by his side, suddenly clenched in spasm.
The ultra-high-definition camera zoomed in on his drooping eyebrows and eyes, reflecting Gu Xiaoxiao's astonishment in his deep gaze.
When the words "Take good care of Mr. He" escaped her lips, a tiny muscle trembled suddenly on He Jing's left cheekbone, like the first crack appearing on a glacier during a spring flood.
Amidst gasps from the audience, He Jing took a half-step forward, stepping on Gu Xiaoxiao's trailing dress. This aggressive movement forced the back of her neck to fall into his warm embrace—like a beast that had retracted its claws finally finding its lost prey.
"How long will you be taking a break?" He leaned down, his voice carrying the rich, mellow tone of thirty-year-old Macallan whisky, as if he were casually brushing against her earlobe.
When Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at He Jing, she blurted out as if possessed, "That depends on my husband. When will he be able to be coaxed?"
