Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 778 - I Shouldn't Have Picked This Dress For You!

Day of the award ceremony-

Xie Ming smoothened her dress as she stood in front of the vanity mirror in her bedroom after getting ready for the award ceremony. Her heart was racing, her first and last award ceremony as an actress.

Although she doesn't have any achievements in this field, she was glad that she got the chance to explore something that was out of her reach. Coincidentally, she played the role of an Empress, which was more like representing her real self than acting.

She won't deny the fact that while doing acting, she got to meet many generous people and made many friends, but she is finally in a place, where she was needed. If her medical skills can help the needy, then there is no reason for her to waste that talent of hers.

As she was in her thought, she heard a breathy-low voice which caused her to gulp in nervousness," If I had known before, I wouldn't have chosen this dress for you."

"Hmm?"

When she turned to her side, she saw Liwei leaning against the door frame while looking at her with a meaningful gaze. He was dressed in an all-black, formal three-piece suit. The silver decorative chain attached to the pocket of the upper coat was enhancing the royalness of the outfit, making him look like some royalty.

His intense gaze caused her cheeks to crimson as he made his way to her in steady steps. He stared at her from up and down, checking her out with his lustful-seductive gaze.

She was dressed in a silk-white, off-shoulder gown with matching accessories and heels. The minimal makeup with cherry red lipstick was complimenting her jade-white complexion. Her dark-chocolate brown hair was styled in wavy curls, filling her evening party look.

He stood behind her and caressed her back with his cold hands making her shudder at his touch. His lips curled up in a satisfying smirk seeing her reaction through her reflection in the mirror.

He leaned closer to her and whispered in her ears, " I shouldn't have picked this dress for you. You look stunning in it."

A speechless chuckle left out her mouth upon hearing his words. " Look who's talking? If you look this handsome, then I am afraid that all the women in the party will keep staring at you then enjoying the ceremony," she commented seeing how deadly-handsome he looked in his outfit. historical

He raised his brows in surprise upon hearing her rare-complimenting words, " Well, should we just skip the party and stay at home?" He nibbled on her nape causing her to hold her breath in surprise.

He inhaled her scent and couldn't help but wanting for more. He wrapped her hands around her waist, trapping her in his embrace, and continued his little ministrations on her ears, nape that were getting a pleasing response from her.

"Liwei...we shouldn't do this. We're getting late…" she barely managed to let out these words as his electrifying touches were taking over her sanity.

"Hmm? I didn't hear what you said?" He asked teasingly as he turned her around and caressed her cheeks with his thumbs gently making her gulp in nervousness.

In no time, he captured her dark-cherry red lips. The kiss was gentle and passionate, the slow-tease was hazing her mind.

" Let's stay at home, huh?" he whispered in a low-seductive voice, making her protesting words stuck in her throat.

" Miss, here is your bag that you have asked for. Do you need anything-

As she was losing herself to his seductive teases, Yu Mei's cheerful voice was there to save her from losing her senses completely.

Yu Mei who came to hand over the bag to Xie Ming was shocked to see Liwei and Xie Ming tangled like glue. When Liwei turned around and looked at her with his irritated-dark gaze, she knew she was done for.

"I….I should go and do laundry." She turned around to leave but remembered the bag in her hand, so she came back and placed it on the side drawer in the room and left as if her train was leaving.

"....."

Liwei gritted his teeth and said, " Can't she speak anything before hoping in the room?"

Xie Ming pushed him away and chuckled, " Who told you to leave the door open?"

" Then let me close the door now. I will tell the driver that we're not going to the party anymore." He hurriedly pulled out his phone but before he could do so, he heard her cold-hearted words. " Too late now. Ah, you ruined my lipstick. Why did you have to kiss me on the lips? I need to touch up my makeup again." she groaned in annoyance seeing her smudged lipstick and messy hair.

Now she has to redo everything. So annoying.

"..."

Seeing her reaction, he learned another thing today, 'Be it modern and ancient, both hate their makeup getting ruined, even though they 'enjoyed' the process of getting ruined.'

[Ms. Xie, do you have any plans of returning to the entertainment industry?]

[Ms. Xie, what are the awards that you're expecting to win tonight?]

[Ms. Xie, about the scandal, what are your thoughts? They're your families after all, do you have any thoughts of forgiving them? Or do you want to revenge your family for wronging you?]

Xie Ming faced the camera accompanied by Liwei on the red carpet and posed for them to take their pictures. As always, her elegant posture and photogenic looks impressed the cameramen and the on-lookers.

As they were interviewing them, one of the reporters started asking questions about the scandal and they started to become more aggressive with every question of him. There are many opinions regarding her actions and one of them is to forgive them since they're her family.

People know how to make a victim feel guilty when all they want is justice.

Liwei's expressions turned dark upon hearing the ridiculous question and glared at the reporter who asked the question. Seeing Liwei's expressions, the reporter pursed his lips and stepped back, his gaze was enough to warn him that his future won't be bright if he messed with her.

Liwei turned to Xie Ming and smiled, " Let's go." He held onto her hand and took her out of there, leaving the other reporters behind to blame the reporter who brought up the scandal in the interview. Because of him, they lost their opportunity to interview them properly.

Though there are many hot-shot celebrities present at the ceremony, out of them, Xie Ming is the most popular and anticipated guest, because of her scandal and the numerous nominations she has for the award.

She is just a new actress who has done only one project, yet she was nominated in different award categories- Best new actress, Best supporting actress-female, even the movie she was starred in, has been nominated as the movie of the year. These achievements with only one project are no joke.

Xie Ming looked around the large arena where the awards ceremony was being held. The enormous stage was decorated with colorful lights and everyone was dressed into beautiful-gorgeous outfits, wanting to look best among everyone.

As they went to find their seats, she saw that Mr. Han (Director of the movie), Xu Lan (His assistant), Wu Sheng (Male-lead of the movie), were already seated. A glad smile appeared on her face seeing the familiar faces, however, seeing that Jian Yan was not here made her feel bad that it was a special day for them and he was not there.

" Xie Ming, you're here. You look beautiful." Xu Lan stood up from her seat and hugged her as they were meeting after so long.

Mr. Han and Wu Sheng also stood up to greet them, however, they couldn't help but feel wary of Jin Liwei who was standing beside her as her bodyguard. Mr. Han still couldn't digest that Xie Ming was Mrs. Jin, the wife of the biggest investor in his movie.

Fate is such a prankster. Who would have thought that his simple decision to make Xie Ming the female supporting lead of his movie could give him the best actress and a big investment at the same time?
