Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Entertainment Circle’s Best Actress VS Lucky Newcomer (Part 15)
Merlin sat in the guest seating area, frowning as he watched the models on stage.
Frankly, this year’s Qinghua Fashion Week had quality but lacked any pieces that sparked surprise.
The established luxury brands continued their previous styles without significant breakthroughs or innovations.
As a professional critic, he hadn’t felt the desire to put pen to paper for this season’s collections.
He thought this fashion week would be just the same, perhaps only looking forward to the final showstopper, until he saw that female model appear.
Silence descended around him, followed swiftly by the incessant clicks of shutter sounds.
Gu Shengyin walked out in “Snowy Domain”.
Under the stage lights, she truly resembled the Ice Snow Empress descending from the mysterious Ice Snow Goddess Temple, wearing a crown woven from broken snowflakes and holding a scepter carved from glacial ice.
Step by step, she walked into the mortal realm. From afar and near, she seemed like a dream.
Her outfit was starkly cold, exquisitely luxurious, but she was even colder, more majestic.
It seemed as though the entire venue had cooled with her appearance, even though it was still late summer, with some people even involuntarily wrapping their arms around themselves.
Merlin couldn’t bear to blink, fearful of missing even the slightest detail.
It wasn’t until Gu Shengyin turned around, disappearing backstage, that he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He knew who that model was: Ruan Keyi, the darling of the modeling world four years ago, who later switched to film and television. Unexpectedly, after four years, she had returned to the runway.
Merlin thought, he knew what to write in his review for this issue now.
The contented Merlin didn’t know that an even bigger surprise awaited him.
The camera shutters now clicked even more frantically, as if the photographers wished they could use up all their film in these brief tens of seconds.
There was only one person they could favor so, Ludwig Gardner.
Merlin felt as if his eyes weren’t enough.
Clearly, the outfit Ludwig wore was the same as the one Ruan Keyi had just worn, but the two presented completely different styles.
Ruan Keyi was the Empress, so she was proud, cold, disdainful, incomparably noble.
Whereas Ludwig was the Knight, handsome, loyal, powerful, his eyes fixed on only one person.
The atmosphere on site had reached its climax, especially among the media, who had already written tomorrow’s headlines.
Merlin knew there was another major scene waiting for him.
Indeed, the Empress who had just left the stage and her Knight came onto the runway together.
Ludwig was undoubtedly the top male supermodel, and when his presence peaked, he could dull the brightness of most people around him.
Today, everyone could see that Ludwig was in his best form.
Even so, Gu Shengyin standing beside him did not fade in comparison; nobody could ignore her presence beside Ludwig.
This was Her Majesty the Queen!
The photographers were suddenly grateful they hadn’t used up all their film, or they would have nowhere to cry now.
Just then, Ludwig made an unexpected move.
As he walked to the front of the stage, he suddenly turned around, went down on one knee, took one of Gu Shengyin’s hands, and gently kissed it.
“Your Knight will forever be loyal only to you, my Empress,” he declared.
That moment made many in the audience scream softly.
Her Majesty the Empress looked down at her Knight and smiled gently.
“I grant you permission to offer your loyalty, my Knight. You belong only to me.”
