The National Drama Festival was held at night.
The red carpet glittered like stars.
The stretch Lincoln limousine pulled up at the entrance of the venue. Yun Shishi sat in the car and looked out at the crowd and flashing lights of the cameras. It felt like she had been away for ages!
The celebrities who had arrived walked down the glittering red carpet and faced the baptism of camera flashes, at the end of which they marked their attendance with their flamboyant signatures.
Yun Shishi suddenly grabbed Mu Yazhe’s hand anxiously. Her palm was damp with a layer of perspiration that had formed on it. Clearly, she was nervous.
He put his other hand over the back of her hand and smiled at her.
“Why? Are you nervous?”
“So many people! After all, I haven’t experienced such a scene in a long time. I’m not used to it now!”
Yun Shishi lamented, “I heard that this year’s National Drama Awards has a record number of guests. Besides, there are so many capable veteran actors. Among my batch of nominees, there’s an outstanding veteran actor. I wonder if I’ll have a chance to win an award with her around!”
“Don’t be nervous.”
He stayed by her. The moment the car door opened, the media closed in like a tidal wave. They all raised their cameras. Before Yun Shishi could get out of the car, she was blinded by the sudden flashlights.
It was too bright. For a moment, it was as if her vision was flooded with daylight.
Mu Yazhe got out of the car first. He then turned around to hold her hand and helped her out of the car like a gentleman.
The two of them were instantly surrounded by the media, asking one question after another.
The staff responsible for maintaining order at the scene rushed over immediately and herded the reporters aside. Only then did Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe feel relieved.
It was too crazy!
It had been a long time since they had witnessed such a terrifying scene.
Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe stepped onto the red carpet. Yun Shishi gradually got used to the flashing lights. She smiled with great pride as she hooked her arm around Mu Yazhe’s arm. The attractive and beautiful couple certainly was a head-turner and exuded a great presence!
This was not their first time appearing together before the media! However, it was their first public appearance as man and wife!
Back then, when Mu Yazhe announced their relationship, many media outlets were secretly bad-mouthing the couple.
It was not for any other reason than the conspiracy theory they cooked up. They believed that the two of them were only using each other.
Back then, Mu Yazhe had just left the Mu Group. Even though he had established the Shengyu Group, its foundation was not stable. Hence, he needed a publicity point. To get listed, he naturally needed fame.
For this reason, he made use of Yun Shishi, and used the hype on their relationship to bring attention to the company.
As for Yun Shishi, the media speculated that she would resort to unscrupulous means to marry into a wealthy family. She had already given birth to two sons, but up till then had not yet held a wedding.
Even though Mu Yazhe said that the two of them had already registered their marriage, no one had seen even a picture of their marriage certificate. So why should they believe it?
Therefore, many people did not think much of their relationship.
In the entertainment industry, the newcomers are always seen to be smiling and laughing, but who ever hears the crying of the old timers?
It was not like there had never been on-screen couples. The more high-profile their relationships were, the faster they failed.
How high-profile were Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi back then?
When they participated in the reality show, they gathered a huge number of fans. The fans named them “the good-looking couple”. The couple was so good-looking it was almost nature-defying.
Especially Mu Yazhe. Compared to him, all the young and pretty male celebrities paled in comparison!
