Whether Su Xiaofei attended tonight or not, she and her companion were allocated with reserved seats near the front, along with other leaders of the entertainment and media companies. Su Xiaofei was amused that several of them took time and paid her husband a greeting. It seemed that even if she and Lu Qingfeng were working in different industries, his family influence still surpassed hers.
In the midst of exchanging pleasantries, she found Mo Yuchen and Huang Jingjing arriving together. Huang Jingjing was looking at her with curiosity, while Mo Yuchen's expression hardened once he spotted Lu Qingfeng next to her.
"CEO Mo, won't you introduce me to this beautiful lady accompanying you?" Su Xiaofei asked Mo Yuchen with a mocking look. She didn't give Mo Yuchen a chance to reply, as she immediately greeted Huang Jingjing instead.
"Hello, Miss Huang. I'm Su Xiaofei. Miss Huo Yunxi has told me great things about you."
Huang Jingjing was stunned for a moment and stared at Su Xiaofei. A smile then spread on her lips as she shook hands with Su Xiaofei.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, President Su." She replied.
Su Xiaofei couldn't sense any malice from this woman, but she could see the amusement in Huang Jingjing's eyes as the latter watched Mo Yuchen's discomfort. Something about Huang Jingjing intrigued her, but she didn't dare to ask more as the committee staff gestured to invite them to take their designated seats as the ceremony was about to start.
Su Xiaofei wanted to tease Mo Yuchen a little more, but she also knew that her husband disliked being in the same place as Mo Yuchen.
"Is he still trying to bother you?" Lu Qingfeng asked once they were seated.
Although he knew that Su Xiaofei had long moved on from Mo Yuchen, he knew that the man was still harboring feelings towards his wife. He could see the same regret he used to see on Mo Yuchen's face. He had no doubt that Mo Yuchen had already heard about his wife giving birth to their twins.
"No." Su Xiaofei replied. "Our interactions were very limited. I'm keeping our meetings strictly professional."
Lu Qingfeng said nothing, but that didn't mean he wouldn't keep an eye on Mu Yuchen anymore. He didn't care if his wife didn't want to exact revenge on Mo Yuchen, but Lu Qingfeng still won't forgive the man for hurting her in their previous life, regardless of Mo Yuchen's reasons.
It didn't take long before other celebrities filled the venue. Of course, Bai Qingyue and Tang Liyan had the best seats near the VIPs. From the corner of her eye, she spotted Xiao Rufeng a couple of seats behind them and gave her a smile.
Xiao Rufeng was nominated for the 'Best Newcomer' award, and oddly enough, despite Ye Mingyu playing a second lead role, she was able to get the same nomination as Xiao Rufeng.
Huo Yunxi also arrived with a partner. Su Xiaofei was surprised that it was Qin Muyao who was escorting Huo Yunxi tonight. She didn't know that these two were now acquainted with each other.
As for Ye Mingyu, she arrived alone, but her dress tonight spoke of money, a lot of it. Su Xiaofei inwardly chuckled and shook her head. Ye Mingyu was still the same shallow woman she knew from her previous life. She liked bragging about the things Mo Yuchen had given her before, but now, she was showing off the things Han Yize provided for her.
Their attention was brought back to the stage as the big screen flashed the names of the films nominated for Best Picture. Su Xiaofei had expected that this would be a long night for her and her husband.
"I miss our girls." She sighed, resting her head lovingly on Lu Qingfeng's arm. "Do you think they miss us?"
"Feifei, they're too young to understand that we aren't at home at the moment. Maybe you can give Mother a call later to check on them." Lu Qingfeng tried to suppress his smile, seeing her boredom.
"I surely will." She agreed with him. "But it's unfair that it is only I who are missing them. Don't you miss them too?"
"I sure do." Lu Qingfeng answered. "They are our daughters. Of course, I constantly think of them regardless of where I am and what I'm doing."
"I know that fatherhood suits you." Su Xiaofei smiled at him. "Though the girls arrived too early, you've never once backed down from the challenge of fatherhood. Just don't spoil them too much. It's hard enough that those girls have already managed to win everyone's favor with their smiles alone."
"I admit that it's hard, but I like to think that raising Lu Junjie previously has helped me to get used to being a father. However, the girls are harder to deal with compared to him. Xiao Yue and Yanyan have different preferences and I need to be more gentle when it comes to them."
Su Xiaofei hummed. There were nights when she found Lu Qingfeng reading books about child-rearing and how to handle newborns properly. She knew well that he'd been trying to balance his time at work and for their family. It was really a relief to them that she wasn't poisoned anymore, which meant that it was one less problem to worry about.
Once the winner for Best Picture was announced, the ceremony immediately moved to the 'Best Newcomer' category where Xiao Rufeng and Ye Mingyu were both nominated.
"Chen-ge is also here." Lu Qingfeng said.
"Really?" Su Xiaofei tried to look around them, but she couldn't spot Yan Xiuchen anywhere.
"He told me that he'll be accompanying Miss Xiao tonight. I'm certain he's also here."
"Well, if he's here, then I'm sure that it'll only make Xiao Rufeng more nervous. She would want to win the award and win against Ye Mingyu, not like she could easily beat Xiao Rufeng in the first place."
