"Director Lu is probably too busy and didn’t have time to stay around, Xia Weibao, Director Lu personally presented you with the award, how do you feel?"
Xia Weibao’s lips curved slightly, unaffected by praise or criticism, "It’s my honor."
She was scared to death, okay?
The sudden appearance was acceptable, but hugging her after presenting the award really scared her.
They were currently in a hidden marriage and hadn’t gone public yet!
That guy is so high-profile, was he trying to get her killed by all those people below?
The most desired man by women across the country was actually snagged by her, and thinking about it did give her a bit of a thrill.
"Rumors have it that Director Lu is indifferent to women. After being hugged by him, did your heartbeat speed up?"
Bai Ze asked with a teasing tone, voicing the thoughts of every woman present!
What does it feel like to be hugged by Director Lu, huh? Did it strike a chord? Did your heartbeat accelerate and your cheeks flush? Did your heart secretly consent to marry no one but him?
Everyone acknowledges that Director Lu has a great physique. It must be really comfortable to be held by him, right?
Did you touch his pectoral muscles? What about his abs, did you get a feel? Hurry and tell us.
I really want to be hugged by Director Lu. If not that, at least let me listen to someone else’s experience.
Xia Weibao still maintained an ethereal demeanor, calm and composed, "I didn’t feel anything."
She had lost count of how many times they had slept together. Just this morning, he had pulled her in for it twice, causing her to oversleep till noon and almost miss tonight’s award ceremony.
Now it was just a simple fleeting embrace. What could she feel?
The crowd was clearly disappointed.
Those actresses looked at her with a hint of resentment. How could she not feel anything? Was she hoarding the experience and refusing to share?
Xia Weibao understood women’s hearts very well and instantly discerned the sentiments of the beauties around her.
So she cleared her throat twice, "It was too quick; I didn’t have time to feel it."
Bai Ze teased a bit, then let Xia Weibao give her acceptance speech. They hugged politely, "Congratulations."
After hugging the male host, she also had to embrace the female host.
In the moment of the embrace, Yan Weiyang’s eyes drooped with a gloominess within them.
She lowered her voice, "You’re not worthy of him."
The voice was so subdued that only the two of them could hear it.
After speaking, Yan Weiyang raised a smile of triumph, "Congratulations, Best Actress Xia."
She enunciated the words Best Actress Xia with emphasis, carrying a trace of sarcasm.
Do you think that by becoming Best Actress, you’re good enough for Lu Hualiang?
You don’t even look at what kind of family the Lu Family is. Without the right background and social status, you simply can’t stand firm!
So what if you marry into it? You will be swept out the door all the same!
By the time she returned to her seat, Xia Weibao was still somewhat unable to gather her wits.
Her brows and eyes were deep with thought, her mind full of Yan Weiyang’s words.
You’re not worthy of him.
She, wasn’t worthy of Lu Hualiang.
Indeed, she wasn’t good enough for him.
This question, she had never considered it before.
Before, she didn’t know he was Emperor Xia Liang, so she didn’t think about being with him and didn’t have to consider whether she was worthy or not.
Later, when she found out he was Emperor Xia Liang, and she was his Empress, they were naturally together, so the question of worthiness didn’t come into play.
But Yan Weiyang’s words just now shocked her into realization.
This is the twenty-first century, not the Great Xia Kingdom of a thousand years ago.
In this completely new world, he was still a king, the helmsman of the Lu Family, the richest man, standing at the apex of the pyramid.
If not for the bond from a past life, she wouldn’t even be able to see him with her current status and identity!
