THE PRESENT.....

The long-awaited award night finally came. No matter how hard Shui Shui and Shiyi tried to make Yang Zi attend the party, she repeatedly turned down their offer with the excuse that she will ruin the fun for the both of them if she were to attend the party. The party kick off at exactly 10:00pm. Many prominent singers, actresses, models, scriptwriters, directors and so many others were present at the biggest event of the year. Those who wore the most elegant dresses were sure that they will make the headline the next day, but all the reporters forgot about all the dresses they thought were beautiful when Shui Shui and her date stepped onto the red carpets. The headlines that the goddess of designer would release a collection of her latest designs for the year was out a month before the day of the event so everyone has been so eager to know who will be the lucky lady or gentleman that will have the honour to wear one of the collection items. Everyone was dumbstruck when Shui Shui was yet again the one who had the privilege to wear the goddess of designer's dress for the second time in two years. The reporters and everyone present was dumbfounded when they saw the goddess initial on Shui Shui's blue long gown when she stepped on the red carpet. ​​

"What! So Miss Qing and CEO Luo are the lucky fellows who wore designer M's limited edition fashion items for this year,"

"This is so amazing,"

"This is so unbelievable. Everyone thought Miss Zhang will be the lucky one this time around, but as you can see Miss Qing is the chosen one,"

"Miss Qing, this is the second time you are wearing designer M's dresses for an award ceremony. Do you perhaps know who this mysterious designer is?"

"What does designer M looks like?"

"Is he a guy like people assume?"

"Can you tell us on what basis designer M chose you to wear her dresses for the second time?"

"Are perhaps friends with designer M?"

"How does it feel to be the chosen one?"

"Miss Qing, we all know that the recent drama they featured you in as the female lead was a big hit, are you confident that you will go back home with an award tonight?"

"What if today's award night does not go like you expected, what will you do?"

"Miss Qing, CEO Luo has always been your escort for the past three years since you became an actress. Are you in a secret relationship with CEO Luo?"

"Just a word, Miss Qing,"

The reporters blasted her with so many questions. Despite all the questions they asked, they dare not directly refer the question to Shiyi since they were all afraid of him. Qing Shui had a headache listening to their silly questions.

As if the attention she and Shiyi garnered outside was not enough, everyone turn around to stare at them as they entered the enormous hall. She became the enemy of so many female celebrities there. Some did not even try to hide their dislike for her while some started gossiping about her.

"Look at her haughty attitude. I am sure she thinks she owns the world now just because designer M chose her this time around,"

"How could designer M not choose Miss Zhang and instead choose her? What qualifications does she have to compete against our Miss Zhang,"

"I really hate her for taking the spotlight from us. Because of her the reporter's does not even care about her beautiful dresses we wore anymore,"

"She is such a flirt. Look at her flirting with CEO Luo, so shameless,"

"I wish that she will not win any award tonight so she will be the laughingstock of tomorrow's news,"

All the jealous celebrities there gossipped about her. Miss Zhang who was standing amidst them tightened her fist in anger when she heard their remarks, but she could not help but wish that Qing Shui will not win any award just like the other ladies had wished. Miss Zhang was so sure that although she lost to Qing Shui on the red carpet that she won't lose to her due the giving of awards. She used that fantasy of hers and momentarily console herself.

With her chin up and shoulder high, Shui Shui did not even pay attention to them. She walked and acted as though she own the world just to spite them even more. Those whom she had a good relationship with complimented her dress. They made it known to her she should introduce them to designer M if she knew who the designer was, but Shui Shui only laugh off their words playfully.

While partying everyone talked about how anxious they were about the award night. At 12:00 am, the coordinators of the event called for the attention of everyone. After formally addressing everyone, they started first with awarding the singers, then the actors. Shui Shui was not surprised when the male lead of the drama they recently finished won the most popular actor of the year's award. He also won about three other awards to top the most popular actor's award. When it got to the turn of awarding the actresses, many actresses were called up on stage but Shui Shui was not called so Shiyi became a little agitated.

"Shui Shui, are you sure you are going home tonight with any awards? Why hasn't your name being called yet?" Shiyi asked agitatedly, causing the mean ladies who were sitting at the next table to laugh at Shui Shui. Shui Shui just signalled him to listen instead of distracting her. And finally Shui Shui, whose name was the last lady on their list, was called. Everyone started laughing and making a mockery of her when they realised that her name was the last on the list. Not knowing that they will soon be put to shame.

Everyone's mouth drop opened when they heard the many awards that actress Qing Shui had won. Miss Zhang who thought she would go home with the highest number of awards only won three, while Shui Shui won seven awards that night. She won the most popular actress award, media's most anticipated actress ward, the most marketable actress award, best actress of the year (ancient) and so on. Shui Shui herself was surprised at the number of awards she won. The drama she recently aired in also won best drama of the year's award. The directors, scriptwriters, costume designers and other people in her crew were not left out too. They all went home with one or two awards.

Meanwhile, Yang Zi who was fast sleep was woken up by a loud bang on her door. At first she was reluctant to get up from her bed, but she didn't have a choice when the intruder kept knocking repeatedly. She sleepily walked to the door to see who the person was. When she saw who it was, she wanted to close the door on him but her eyes caught something on his hands and that was no other than blood so she reluctantly opened the door for him. Yifeng immediately fell on her body the moment she opened the door for him to enter.

"Watch it guy," Yang Zi quickly pushed him off her body as she quickly checked outside to see whether someone was following him. She closed the door after confirming that he was not followed.

"Why the hell did you come to my apartment looking that way? And what happened to you? Your hand is bleeding," Yang Zi said as she helped him to the couch.
