CHAPTER 338: UNWAVERING SHIELD

Wen Nuan knew that she had stolen the show today. The cheongsam alone was a topic of conversation. The moment she appeared, everyone was in awe and full of praise. Winning Best Newcomer and Best Actress was another topic, and then with Ye Feimo presenting the award to her, countless eyes in the audience were on them. The number of people who were envious and jealous was probably a whole basketful.

During the short walk from the stage, the way they looked at her made her feel as if they wanted to tear her apart.

This was a circle of open and secret fights, a circle full of desire and intense competition. Who wouldn’t be jealous of a newcomer who suddenly appeared and gained such a great honor?

Today’s Golden Chapter Awards was a very important turning point in her acting career.

It was also a night where she received the most applause and flowers and a night where she became a thorn in everyone’s side. She knew very well how many of those people were genuinely happy for her. The number was very, very small.

After the Golden Chapter Awards, she would become famous. With Cai Xiaojing’s marketing skills, she would soon become one of the top actresses in the country. Li Yuanyuan, Peng Shuyao, Yang Yang, Chen Xiuli, and others should all feel a sense of crisis.

So the environment she would face in the future would be even more brutal, and the competition would be even more intense.

A very cold smile appeared on Ye Feimo’s lips, like a sharp and cold blade of ice, with a hint of arrogance that looked down on the world. "So what if she stole the show? Who would dare to mess with her?"

He wanted the woman he loved to be a princess for all the world to see.

Ye Feimo knew the saying, "The bird that stands out gets shot," but he also knew that it depended on whether the person had the ability to fire that bullet. Anyone who dared to mess with her probably didn’t want to stay in the industry anymore.

"You’re right. Who would dare to bully a woman of Second Young Master Ye?" Tang Shuwen said with a chuckle. His voice was low, and only the people around them could hear him. Pei Jun had gone on stage to present an award again, and the rest were all acquaintances.

Cai Xiaojing looked at Wen Nuan with a smile. This girl’s luck would make anyone jealous. No wonder Han Bi was feeling so unbalanced. Anyone would. It was a classic Cinderella and Prince Charming story.

Ye Feimo’s gaze fell gently on Wen Nuan. "I will protect you for the rest of your life. No one will dare to harm you. You can play in this circle however you want. No one can do anything to you."

Lin Ning and Tang Shuwen laughed. "Second Young Master Ye, you’re really a goner. You’re saying things like this."

It felt like a young man who was in love for the first time was constantly trying to prove his sincerity to his lover. Tang Shuwen looked at Chen Xueru and repeated what Ye Feimo had said.

Chen Xueru was speechless. Shuwen was much better at saying sweet things than Ye Feimo, but he just repeated what he said. That was... too special.

Wen Nuan smiled and nodded, tightening her grip on Ye Feimo’s hand.

She knew.

No matter what happened, he would protect her.

Even if he didn’t, she was no pushover. She and Cai Xiaojing could definitely handle the open and secret fights in the industry.

After the Golden Chapter Awards, the artists went on to give interviews as usual.

More than a dozen reporters swarmed around Wen Nuan, all asking questions at once. She held the Newcomer Award trophy in one hand and the Best Actress trophy in the other, smiling as she was interviewed. There were reporters from ABC TV, ATB TV, Anning International TV, and major TV stations and websites from all over the country. They had her surrounded.

They were all asking about how it felt to win, her plans for the future, how her collaboration with Lin Ning was, her thoughts on the Golden Chapter Awards, and so on. Wen Nuan had received training on how to handle interviews with reporters. Her answers were very appropriate. They weren’t too rigid or too frivolous. She even had a hint of a small artistic vibe. She was already used to the flashes of the cameras. Facing all this attention, she had long since learned to hold her head high and be very confident.

"Wen Nuan, Mr. Ye presented the award to you today. May I ask what your relationship is?" a female reporter asked. Wen Nuan’s eyes shifted. She saw the microphone and smiled to herself. It was a reporter from Green Light Daily. They were professionals at gossip.

Mainstream media outlets wouldn’t normally ask this kind of question. After all, it was the Golden Chapter Awards, so who would ask about gossip?

But Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo had really stolen the show today. Especially when they were on stage, everyone could feel the ambiguous and intimate atmosphere between them.

The day she posted Ye Feimo’s picture on Weibo, Ye Feimo said Green Light would definitely put it on their front page the next day. Green Light really didn’t disappoint Second Young Master Ye. The next day, they indeed had it on their front page. The headline was not far from what Ye Feimo had guessed.

*Mysterious Boyfriend...*

She admired the reporters from Green Light. They were dramatic, smart, gossipy, and sharp. They were born to be paparazzi.

"I am an artist from Anning, and he is the CEO of Anning International. Of course, we have a boss-employee relationship," Wen Nuan said with a smile.

The female reporter from Green Light Daily asked again, "Everyone is saying that you and Mr. Ye are dating. Is that true?"

"Of course not!" Wen Nuan said with a laugh, denying it. They were married. How could it be considered dating? They had already walked directly into the palace of marriage.

The reporters whispered to each other. "So they’re not in a romantic relationship."

"Wen Nuan denies her relationship with Second Young Master Ye..."

A reporter from a major website asked, "Wen Nuan, was the picture you posted on Weibo the day before yesterday of your boyfriend? The back looks a lot like Mr. Ye’s."

Wen Nuan smiled. "I took that picture with my phone. I just thought the scenery was beautiful. I took it in Rome."

The implication was that it was a handsome Italian man.

She smiled on the outside, but she was thinking to herself, *These reporters are too sharp. Oh my god. They could probably find out how many hairs I have.*

"Wen Nuan, the cheongsam you’re wearing today is very beautiful. Is it a piece by Mrs. Zhang?"

Wen Nuan nodded with a smile. "Yes, I really love this cheongsam."

After asking a few more questions about Ye Feimo and her, the interview time was over. Cai Xiaojing came over to dismiss everyone. The reporters went to interview other artists. Wen Nuan let out a sigh of relief. "Reporters these days are so good."

"Anyone who can be a reporter is not a fool. Do you think anyone can be an entertainment reporter?" Cai Xiaojing said with a smile. Nowadays, to be an entertainment reporter, you have to go through a lot of training and a rigorous selection process.

The entertainment reporters from Anning TV were also especially good at digging up their own artists’ privacy. Everyone was very professionally trained and should not be underestimated.

It was a little cold in the lobby. Cai Xiaojing gave Wen Nuan her fur coat to put on so she wouldn’t catch a cold. Wen Nuan watched as the entertainment reporters moved toward Han Bi.
