Chapter 81.1 - Preparing to go public as a couple 

Thanks to Azurixa for the chapter (2 / 2) 💖✨

The Golden Orchid Awards is the only show that allows for the audience to choose the winners, it was a national show for TV awards. 

Night Changan was nominated for a few awards; best supporting actress, best male actor and best producer. 

Su Bai was also nominated for best supporting actress. 

When Tang Xiao received the call, she needed half a day before she calmed down. 

But it was a pity that the Golden Orchid Awards were controlled quite strictly and the poll numbers weren’t publicised. 

Chief Ning asked around for a while and didn’t even find out if Tang Xiao had received the award. 

The other side was vague, telling them to bring the whole cast to the awards, and that would be fine. 

Tang Xiao quietly asked Chief Ning. 

Chief Ning furrowed his brows and helped her analyse. “You’ve become quite popular recently but compared to Su Bai who has quite a solid foundation, you’re still a bit worse off. She’s more likely to win best supporting actress.” 

Tang Xiao sighed again. 

“But we can’t completely cross out that there might be a surprising turn of events. The Golden Orchids have previously awarded awards to directors and producers from all different levels, so even if you don’t get the award, just turning up would be good for you.” 

Right until she was at the red carpet, Tang Xiao still didn’t know if she received an award. 

This time, the whole cast of Night Changan wasn’t at the red carpet. 

The female lead was busy and couldn’t make it. 

So there was only  Mu Cheng, Song Changzheng and Tang Xiao who represented the whole cast. 

Tang Xiao wore a red strapless gown with a long train that swirled as she walked. 

Her long hair was piled up on the top of her head in a bun, with wisps of hair framing her face. 

It was a cute but charming look. 

Her skin was pale, her lips as red as blood which when matched with her stunning red gown, and the sparkling jewels on her neck, made her look amazing. 

Compared to a year ago, she was more mature and much more eye catching. 

When the three people came out of the car, the fans around them were going crazy. 

Countless photographers were facing them. 

With experience from being on the red carpet before, and because Tang Xiao felt she wasn’t going to get an award, she was much more carefree about being on the carpet. 

Mu Cheng and Song Changzheng stood on either side of her as they walked. 

When they faced the media, Tang Xiao waved. 

When they reached the end of the red carpet, there was a huge sign board. 

Su Bai was in front of them. 

After signing her name, she was supposed to walk in but when she saw Tang Xiao, she suddenly froze unnaturally. 

She side stepped into a corner to watch her. 

When Tang Xiao walked closer, she saw Su Bai and smiled at her. 

After signing her name, she entered and sat down. 

The awards were live streamed online. 

Because of the two popular male actors, Tang Xiao was seated towards the front. 

Sister Ming was the host again and after joking about a few actors and actresses, she began to announce the award winners. 

“Next up, the best supporting actress.” 

On the big screen, the nominees’ names appeared. 

Tang Xiao as the peerless Liu Ji, Su Bai as the aloof Cong Guyan, as well as other actresses. 

Sister Ming purposely tried to be mysterious as she read the nominees’ names, the cameras also panned to each nominee to show their faces. 

Mu Cheng was in charge of holding the name cards and when he saw the card passed to him, he froze for a second before smiling slightly. “It’s someone who’s worked with me before …” 

The camera quickly panned to Su Bai and Tang Xiao. 

“Tang Xiao!” 

After Mu Cheng announced her name, the ceremony was instantly filled with the soundtrack from Night Changan as a mighty palace appeared on the screen. 

Liu Ji in her gorgeous red period gown kneeled in front of the palace. 

The background music was loud and sorrowful. 

Tang Xiao still remembered this scene when Liu Ji was begging the female lead to spare Mu Cheng’s life, who played the crown prince. 

She kneeled for a day and a night, her face was haggard and pale but her eyes were determined. 

When she shot this scene, director Li made her reshoot over and over until the end. 

When Mu Cheng pulled her up at the end, she fell over on him. 

The whole ceremony was filled with booming applause. 

Tang Xiao was in the middle of saying something to Song Changzheng when she heard her name. 

She froze and hadn’t fully processed it as she sat, blinking at the camera. 

“The best supporting actress, Tang Xiao, in the work, <Night Changan>.” Mu Cheng repeated again. 

This was like a meteor, falling and crashing onto her heart. 

It exploded into countless happy fireworks in front of her eyes. 

Song Changzheng pushed her as Tang Xiao stood up, dazed, watching Mu Cheng on the stage in front of her.
