After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1512: Chapter 1516: I Would Give You a Perfect Ten Too

”If you don’t get on stage soon, the award presenters will get anxious!” Leng Zirui said with a laugh.

”Tonight, dinner’s on me, it’s settled then!” Releasing him, she laughed and walked towards the aisle exit, heading up on stage to receive her award.

”As far as I know, Xu Xia, your identity has always been a singer, but this time you’ve won a performance award. Do you have anything to say?!” the host asked with a smile.

Xu Xia smiled and looked around at everyone below the stage, ”I really didn’t expect everyone to give me this award. Honestly, I think acting is something I’m an amateur at. This time, I just happened to encounter a great script and a great director. I can only say I’m really lucky. Thank you, everyone.”

On stage, Xu Xia was radiant, but her smile and demeanor conveyed a sense of sincerity.

Leng Zirui squinted slightly, looking at the girl on stage, noticing the rainbow bracelet on her wrist shimmering under the lights, his lips curled into a smile.

After a moment, Xu Xia returned to her seat, and Luo Xiaoqian and others offered their congratulations.

”Xu Xia, your bracelet is so unique, where did you get it?” Huangfu Ruo noticed her bracelet and asked curiously.

”This one...” Xu Xia smiled, ”It’s a secret!”

If she said it was from Leng Zirui, they would definitely tease the two of them again.

”A secret?” Huangfu Ruo laughed suggestively, ”Could it be a token of affection from a certain gentleman?!”

”It’s just an ordinary gift.” Xu Xia quickly changed the topic, ”What do you all want to eat later?!”

”I have to head back for the night shift, no can do!” Shen Yizhou said.

”Qin Lan and I promised Wanwan we’d head back early.” Huangfu Ruo shrugged.

”I need to take Zimo to the hospital and also accompany Mo Mo at the compound,” Luo Xiaoqian said apologetically, ”Sorry, Xu Xia, maybe another day?”

...

Xu Xia just pouted, ”Fine, fine, all of you pairing up just to bully a single person like me. If you’re not coming, I’m saving some money, aren’t I?!”

As they chatted and laughed, the award ceremony was drawing to a close.

Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian went on stage together to present lifetime achievement awards to several senior artists, and the closing ceremony ended on a high note.

As the event concluded, everyone stood up and began to leave.

Ah Jiu, Shen Yizhou, and the others assisted Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian, Leng Lin, and others into their cars, as Huangfu Ruo and others also got into their vehicles with the assistance of staff members.

Leng Zirui had reached the car and was about to help Leng Lin in, but when he caught sight of Xu Xia not far away, he paused, opened the car door, then turned around and ran towards her.

”Xu Xia, wait a second!”

Xu Xia was about to get in the car when she heard his voice and turned around in confusion.

”Leng Zirui?!”

Leng Zirui raised her hand, took one of her palms, and placed something in it.

”This is the shell from the bullet where you hit a bullseye before. Actually, it’s not just luck, you’re genuinely skillful. If I were to score you, I’d give you a ten out of ten. Keep it up, Xu Xia!”

Without waiting for her to respond, he turned and ran back towards Leng Lin.

Xu Xia looked down at her palm, where a bullet casing lay.

She looked up again and watched his departing figure, feeling dazed.

”Xu Xia, hurry and get in the car?!”

It wasn’t until Lan Zi urged her that she snapped out of it and sat down in the car.

Ignoring the trophy casually placed on the car seat, she simply held the bullet casing tightly.

The casing seemed to have been with him for a long time, absorbing his body heat, and warmed her hand in an endearing way.
