The annual International Perfume Awards was held as planned.
The bustle of a global metropolis dazzled Qin Yu and her convoy. Ah Nan was out and about taking photographs while Ah Bei attended a few musicals in the city. Qin Yu stood alone by Pearl River, looking at the night view of the city, wishing that Ning Chen was by her side at this moment.
When all this was over, she wanted to see the beautiful night view of the city with him.
Experts gathered at the International Perfume Awards. Ah Bei met many famous perfumers who was known only by names and stories.
There were also many representatives of famous brands.
After learning that Ah Bei was a representative of Xiang Yun, the prominent figures expressed their respect and awe. Their conversations were filled with curiosity.
"Xiang Yun has done something amazing this time. Gosh! I've never had such amazing smell grace my senses before. Nobody understands my obsession with the perfume!"
"Will your group release a new series in the future? How about rose? I'm very curious as to how the perfumer will work with the fragrance from a rose flower."

Ah Bei dealt with the crowd patiently and was a little anxious in his heart. After all, Qin Yu was the actual creator, not him.
Finally, after exchanging pleasantries with the crowd, Ah Bei wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The host walked onto the stage with the list of award winners from the awards ceremony in his hands.
Ah Bei held his breath.
Qin Yu and Ah Nan were busy munching on street food outside of the event hall. Ah Nan sighed as she ate. "It smells so good. Although it's not the same as what we had back home, it's still very delicious!"
Qin Yu stirred the coffee in her cup and smiled without saying a word.
"Boss, are you nervous? What if we don't win the award this time?" Ah Nan asked Qin Yu after eating another piece of cookie.
Qin Yu shook her head. "If we don't win the award, it means that the award is rigged. There's nothing I can do about it."
Wasn't she a little too confident?
Ah Nan knew the confidence of an actual genius.
While the two of them were talking, Qin Yu's phone rang.
After picking up the phone, Ah Bei's excited voice sounded, "Boss, we won the prize! It's the Gold award! Gold award! Oh My God, the Gold award! Our very first participation and we won it! Did you know that I was blocked by everybody else? All the reporters came up to me, I was swamped..."
Ah Bei was still expressing his excitement, but Qin Yu just smiled indifferently, as if this result did not surprise her at all.
"Is that so? That's great. You can go talk to the reporters later and also take this opportunity to promote Xiang Yun."
After hanging up the phone, Ah Nan rushed forward and gave Qin Yu a hug. "Boss, you're amazing. You're my idol!"
Three days later, they returned to China.
After getting off the plane, Ah Bei's chauffeur was waiting outside. Qin Yu was about to get into the car, but suddenly, she raised her head and looked around.
"Ah Nan, Ah Bei, you should go first. I have matters to attend. I'll see you at Xiang Yun later." After Qin Yu said that, she handed the suitcase in her hand to Ah Bei before leaving on a different direction.
Her footsteps became faster and faster until she ran almost as fast as she could.
At the end of this road, there was a man wearing casual sportswear. He wore a baseball cap and had a lazy and leisurely temperament. He looked like a passerby that was just as ordinary as he could be.
When Qin Yu came over, he was looking at his phone. He seemed to have heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Qin Yu.
Qin Yu jumped into the man's arms. Caught off guard, the man subconsciously opened his arms to support her.
Qin Yu hugged the man tightly, as if this was the last hug in their lives. She took a deep breath and smelled the familiar fragrance on the man. Then she said with a choked voice, "Chen."
Ning Chen slowly patted Qin Yu's back and said with a smile, "How did you know it was me?"
Just now, after Qin Yu got off the plane, she saw a text message on her phone.
"Guess where I am."
It was from Ning Chen.
Qin Yu was still in the state of running away from home, so the two of them could not meet openly. Therefore, Ning Chen had secretly come to the airport to see her. He must have dressed up. At that time, Qin Yu looked up and looked around for a long time.
She did not know if it was because of telepathy, but she soon saw him in the bustling crowd.
"It's my heart that tells me that the person I love is here," Qin Yu said with a rare half-serious tone.
When Ning Chen heard this, he laughed very happily. "My love, you're still as sweet as ever. What's wrong with that? The Doctor said that I can't eat things that have too much sugar, but you're so sweet. I can't help it."
Qin Yu chuckled and then leaned close to Ning Chen.. She said with a gratified tone, "Chen, I've won the award."
