Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Chapter 836: The Youngest TV Emperor in History—Ye Xian

Zhou Lu: "But..."

"Just sit down; there’s plenty of room in the back. Up front, there’s no place left for you."

Ye Xian appeared in the tenth row of the venue. The surrounding celebrities all stood up in surprise and warmly greeted her, instantly making her feel like she had prestige just by sitting there. Even the hottest male star in the entertainment industry was seated there. What more could they ask for?

Zhou Lu: "I don’t care if I can sit or not; even squatting is fine. The key is, treating Brother Ye like this is really too much!"

"It’s okay. I noticed this venue has a total of twenty rows, so we’re sitting in the most prestigious spot right in the middle."

Ye Xian joked, and as she just sat down, the man in the VVIP seat in the middle of the first row turned around.

Amidst the interlacing lights, his deep dark eyes precisely locked onto hers through the crowd, then froze for a moment, fixing firmly on her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Ye Xian: "..." The CEO is here too?

The man’s gaze was so intense that even Zhou Lu felt it. "Brother Ye, doesn’t that smack of a rebuff?"

Though she didn’t have much experience, she knew the basic rule of award ceremonies: the closer to the front, the more honorable the guest’s status.

"Uh..."

Ye Xian opened her mouth. Whether it was a snub or not no longer mattered. What was important was... why was the CEO looking at her like that?

His gaze stayed fixed on her face for a good ten seconds, then slowly moved down, as if scrutinizing an item. Deep in his dark eyes, a few sparks of heat sprouted—is it... anger?

Could it be he also thought her sitting in the back was embarrassing?

The CEO had already looked back five times, and Ye Xian hadn’t arrived yet?

Pang Kai glanced at his watch, then followed Bo Tingshen’s gaze for the sixth time towards the back. When he saw Ye Xian, his eyes lit up!

Ye Xian looked stunning today! So stunning that even a straight guy like him felt like gulping. He had to admit, the CEO had keen eyes—not just for people but for clothes too!

He had originally thought that since Ye Xian wasn’t receiving an award today, wearing such an expensive gown wasn’t necessary. But now he felt it was absolutely needed. Such beauty deserved to be complemented by the finest clothes, and it provided the CEO a feast for the eyes!

Except...

"Why is Ye Xian seated so far back?"

As soon as Pang Kai spoke, Jiang Wanze in the second row, Lin Yan, Jiang Wen in the third row, and Xi Ruochu in the fifth row all turned their heads in surprise. When the six pairs of eyes together looked towards Ye Xian in the back row, Ye Xian’s body instantly stiffened, her mouth moved, "..." Wasn’t it embarrassing enough sitting here? It felt like a public execution.

Zhou Lu covered her face with her bag, telling her through her actions that it was.

As the group turned and their gaze passed by Luo Yuwei, she was startled, feeling so flustered that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. But she quickly noticed they didn’t seem to be looking at her, so she too turned her face and immediately saw the conspicuous Ye Xian in the back row, her hand clenched tightly around her seat’s bag.

A runner-up dressed so glamorously, who was she trying to outshine? But a supporting role was still a supporting role, unworthy of sitting in the front row.

"Eh?" Jiang Wen was confused. "Who arranged Ye Xian’s seat? Why is it so far back?"

Jiang Wanze and Lin Yan also frowned in confusion, but out of regard for the front-row crowd, they didn’t speak.

Jiang Wen found a staff member, who only answered officially, "Guest seats were arranged according to the list provided by the organizers, and we don’t know anything beyond that."

The organizer’s list? Isn’t that the Broadcasting and Television Department? That’s a state unit G company, so the arrangement should be most reasonable and impartial. Why was Ye Xian placed so far back?

Pang Kai: "CEO?"

He gestured that he could go and switch seats with Ye Xian, but after the man watched Ye Xian for a few minutes, he lowered his eyes to his watch and said, "No need."

The gaze finally withdrew, and Ye Xian exhaled a sigh of relief. No matter how she thought about it, his last look seemed strange, as if it was hinting at something.

Wait for me when this is over?

What did she do wrong? It wasn’t her choice to sit in the back.

The opening ceremony of the award show featured a classic song and a ballet performance. After the program, the awards started being presented. According to the long-standing tradition of the Golden Cauldron Awards, it began with the drama awards, followed by director, post-production, and leading actor awards...

Ye Xian heard the names "Conquest of the World" and Zeng Minghui, and happily applauded along with the entire venue.

As expected, "Conquest of the World" won the Golden Cauldron Award for Best Drama this year, and at the same time, Zeng Minghui also took the Best Director award.

Zeng Minghui energetically walked up to receive the award, giving an acceptance speech that mentioned the names of virtually all the important actors in the show. Each time he mentioned someone, the on-site photographers would give that person camera time. Yet of those specifically praised, Ye Xian was the only one who received no screen time.

Zhou Lu grew even more furious, feeling it was not normal. "Brother Ye, do you have a grudge with the Golden Cauldron Awards’ organizers?"

Ye Xian: "Don’t speak nonsense. The Golden Cauldron Award is organized by a G company. What grudge would they have with me?"

Zhou Lu quickly covered her mouth. True enough.

A dozen awards were successively presented, interspersed with classic performances. As Ye Xian watched, she yawned, her eyelids starting to droop. If it weren’t for the fear of accidentally being caught on camera, she would have fallen asleep long ago.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye! Jiang Wanze won both the Most Popular and Best Actor awards, a double win!"

Zhou Lu suddenly excitedly slapped Ye Xian’s arm. Ye Xian, startled awake by her slaps, instinctively started clapping. Then she saw Jiang Wanze’s name displayed on the big screen, along with the two awards.

The host held the microphone, creating the maximum atmosphere, then gestured toward the big screen, where immediately a thrilling TV scene was displayed on the 5D screen:

A young man on a skateboard glided coolly through the bustling traffic, the breeze lifting his bangs to reveal a vibrant, flawless face.

’Hello, I’m Gu Chen.’

’A pretty sister being so fierce won’t be cute~’

At the ball, he appeared as elegant and gentlemanly as a prince in a suit, in the fire, he held the woman in his arms, with eyes determined yet sorrowful, in front of the church, his smile was carefree and calm, the small dimples at the corners of his mouth were irresistibly charming.

’Sister, did Disney sue you for infringement? You look so much like their princess.’

"Sister, hold on!"

’I love you, so I can walk ninety-nine steps toward you, but if you won’t take even the last step, then I’m willing to wait for you to cross this last short distance.’

The scene shifted from a modern city to the sword-and-shadow ancient times, the first scene was of a luxuriously dressed young man running through the forest, every movement captivating, and when he turned, his pure, enchanting eyes and surprisingly beautiful face, were breathtaking.

When being beaten, his face showed forbearance and innocence, upon seeing the female lead, there was surprise and a sudden heartbeat in his eyes, concentration and earnestness during martial arts practice, the adoration and loyalty when looking at his senior sister, and the decisiveness to disregard life and death when seeking medicine at Bian He Gate, the heart-wrenching sorrow when seeing the male and female leads embraced, the sadness and complex longing when grasping the female lead questioning after turning to darkness.

Finally, serenely walking to his noble death at the Ande Gate, pierced to death by a thousand arrows, the classic scene deftly drawing people in with just a few images.

’Xiao You swore to protect Senior Sister flawlessly for a lifetime.’

’Senior Sister, look, I grew the love flower.’

’Senior Sister, have you abandoned me?’

During the playback, the host began stating the award words, "He is the mischievous yet sincere, charming yet passionate ’Young President Gu’ from ’Business World,’ and the pure as jade, unparalleled in splendor, darkened by love, crazy for affection ’Shen Jinyou’ from ’Conquest of the World.’ He is a member of the Asian super-popular boy band FOR and actor Ye Xian! Let’s congratulate Ye Xian on winning the Annual Most Influential Actor by the Golden Cauldron Award, also the youngest TV Emperor in the history of the Golden Cauldron Awards!"

Inside the venue, a bright spotlight suddenly and accurately focused on Ye Xian’s position, who was just finishing with the candy wrapper and putting the lollipop into her mouth, nearly startled, quickly pulling out the candy and sitting up straight with a serious front.

...No need to do this, she was just sneaking a lollipop.

Then she realized, everyone in the audience was looking at her in shock and awe.

The box of lollipops in Zhou Lu’s hand fell to the ground.

With a face full of confusion, Ye Xian saw the large glowing words on the big screen: Annual Most Influential Actor in a Television Drama—Ye Xian

Golden Cup?!
