Chapter 519: Chapter 458 The Conclusion of Old Bai_2
"Really?" Zhuo Yuqing blinked her clear, large eyes.
"Of course, I’m taking care of you and him by the way." Bai Chengxi fastened her seatbelt, "We’re going to grandma’s place for dinner tonight, she said she got some hens from the countryside to make soup."
Zhuo Yuqing put down the cake and looked at her stomach: "Will I get fat?" She seemed to be eating more and more recently.
"Even if you get fat it doesn’t matter, I can still carry you." Bai Chengxi slowly started the car.
"Oh right, the Jinghua Awards are about to start, our magazine asked me to go do a live interview." Zhuo Yuqing turned her head and asked: "Will you be there?"
"Of course, I’m a presenter."
"Got any insider information? Give us a sneak peek."
"I told you, it’s a secret." Bai Chengxi deliberately teased, which made Zhuo Yuqing very dissatisfied, muttering, "I’ll tell grandma when we get back tonight, say that you bullied me."
Bai Chengxi laughed out loud and suddenly ruffled her hair: "Zhuo Yuqing, are you now earning respect through your child?"
Zhuo Yuqing proudly raised her head: "Bai Chengxi, you’re down and out now."
Bai Chengxi ruffled her hair: "I never intended to turn things around."

In the blink of an eye, the Jinghua Film Awards were held in Aus City, with stars dazzling, and celebrities from home and abroad converged.
The red carpet ceremony began at seven in the evening, and Zhuo Yuqing along with Liu Lian and two other colleagues arrived early at the scene, got their work badges ready, and prepared to collect news.
In the rest lounge, Zhuo Yuqing was browsing through the list of participants in the film awards. When she saw the name Su Yingluo, her heart felt mixed emotions. Not because Su Yingluo was going to attend the film awards, but because her name was crossed out in red ink.
She heard from Bai Chengxi that Su Yingluo was taken back to her hometown by her mother after the suicide scandal, now resting at home, mentally still unstable, but no longer doing crazy things.
The once-celebrated queen of the screen had fallen to such a fate, inevitably causing sighs of lament.
At seven, the red carpet officially started. Zhuo Yuqing and Liu Lian’s spot was specially arranged by the organizers, with good visibility and not crowded. Celebrities had to stop briefly here, so their photos were the clearest and closest.
Then came the award ceremony.
Zhuo Yuqing and Liu Lian sat in the first row of the press section, next to various celebrities, every one of them a familiar face from the big screen.
Liu Lian, somewhat excited, said: "It’s my first time at a film award ceremony, and sitting in such a great spot too, Yuqing, it feels so cool to have a husband who can pull strings."
Zhuo Yuqing, while taking notes on her tablet, couldn’t help but laugh at her words: "You see celebrities every day and you’re still excited?"
"Of course, it feels like I’m the one getting the award." Liu Lian straightened her back, sitting up straighter, then suddenly leaned over and asked, "Is your husband a presenter?"
"That’s what he said."
The organizer of this year’s Jinghua Awards was Star Motion Entertainment. According to tradition, Bai Chengxi was likely to be a presenter.
After the award ceremony officially started, the initial awards were minor ones, with heavyweight awards like Best Director and Best Actor/Actress at the end.
This year’s Best Actress was the rising star Zhou Xiaoyu, who won the crown with "Baihua Competition", and the much-anticipated battle for Best Actor took place between Xi Yang and Qi Shen. When the presenter finally revealed the winner, Qi Shen was the victor.
Although Zhuo Yuqing had insider information from Bai Chengxi, when she heard the actual results, she still felt sorry for Xi Yang. Thus, her gaze naturally turned to Xi Yang who was sitting not far away. His profile looked somewhat melancholic, but he was still smiling and clapping, while Qi Shen who was beside him stood up to accept the award, sharing a friendly hug with him.
Even though he was smiling throughout, Zhuo Yuqing still caught a glimpse of sadness in his eyes. Xi Yang had previously expressed how much he valued the Jinghua Awards and his hope to win. However, Qi Shen was also a powerhouse, his movie was well-received and made good box office, truly deserving the accolade.
The one presenting the award to Qi Shen was indeed Bai Chengxi, today’s high-profile guest. Under such dazzling starlight, his excellent appearance and impressive family background made him stand out, causing many women in the audience to be reluctant to take their eyes off him— truly a man of both talent and wealth.
Bai Chengxi, in a well-fitted black suit, walked up to the stage confidently with the help of the ceremonial lady. After presenting the award to Qi Shen, who said a few words of thanks, according to the procedure, Bai Chengxi should have left the stage by then, but he didn’t. Instead, he took the microphone handed over by Qi Shen.
