Liang Qianli was actually trying to take a gamble, betting his pride and dignity, anyway, this woman had hurt him countless times, he was already prepared to be rejected.

To his surprise, Ruan Xixia actually accepted his flowers!

This tall and strong northern man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, his eyes lit up as if they were glowing, his Adam’s apple rolled, he wanted to say something excitedly, but Ruan Xixia was already walking away with the flowers.

He hurriedly chased after her, ignoring the reporters’ interviews and the noise from the crowd.

This award ceremony was held at a seaside resort, where ordinary celebrities rested in one area, while those of Ruan Xixia’s caliber had their own private lounges.

Surrounded by assistants, she walked straight to the lounge, seeing Liang Qianli catching up, the assistants tactfully retreated.

Ruan Xixia threw the flowers into the trash can without even looking.

Liang Qianli felt quite uncomfortable inside, "Xixia, you..."

Ruan Xixia turned her eyes, her eyelashes were long like little fans, her bright eyes were charming, her red lips gently opened: "What’s the matter?"

Liang Qianli suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was like a poppy, extremely beautiful, so beautiful that one could overlook she was a poison.

"Why did you throw away the flowers I gave you?" he asked dryly.

"The things you give me are mine, aren’t they? Do I have to report to you in detail how I handle my own things?" Ruan Xixia’s tone was lazy, as she nestled on the sofa with her long legs crossed.

The phone vibrated once, Liang Qianli took a look, it was a photo sent by his subordinate.

The photo captured Ji Yemo’s figure.

He cursed under his breath, anger erupting throughout his body, "Did you accept my flowers just to provoke Ji Yemo? Ruan Xixia, how can your heart be so cruel! What do you take my feelings for you as?"

Ruan Xixia seemed to have heard the biggest joke ever, "You chose to like me, did I force you?"

"Fine, very fine, extremely fine."

Liang Qianli said ’fine’ three times, kicked the trash can, and left one harsh remark, "What I can’t have, he better not think he can have either! At worst, we’ll both suffer!!"

Ruan Xixia played with her nails, as if she heard nothing.

At that moment, Liang Qianli felt truly pitiful, from junior high school till now, eleven years had passed, classmates and friends’ kids were several years old, yet he was like that impulsive young boy back then, still chasing after this woman.

Perhaps what can’t be obtained is what remains most unforgettable.

Laughing self-deprecatingly, he opened the door and left with large strides.

Ruan Xixia turned a blind eye.

...

The award ceremony began, Ruan Xixia arrived at the venue just in time.

Ning Xixi and the others’ seats were a bit far from her, the three girls gestured a heart from afar, and Ruan Xixia smiled in response.

A long string of awards were presented before it finally came to the main event:

Best Actor, Best Actress.

Yan’s group sponsored the event, Yan Yichen’s mother represented Yan’s group and presented the Best Actor award.

When it came to the Best Actress, a tall and upright figure walked onto the stage.

Ruan Xixia saw that familiar figure, her beautiful eyes immediately widened!

How could it be him?

Ji Yemo wore a handmade high couture suit, meticulously tailored, showcasing his graceful demeanor and extraordinary aura, his expression was indifferent and steady, he recited lengthy words without much emotion, then slowly announced the Best Actress’s name:

"Ruan Xixia."

Three words, incredibly gentle.
