Chapter 189 - Young Master Mu Seemed to Hate HimChapter 189: Young Master Mu Seemed to Hate Him
Luo Chenxi’s face briefly stiffened as the host finished. She tried to calm herself down from the excitement and regained her composure.
She immediately noticed the situation going for the worse.
She was still standing right on the runway while being a ‘man’!
How was she supposed to receive the award in this get-up?
What was more, Luo Chenxi was not even sure if it was in accordance with the rules of the Huafeng Competition for her to be modelling while disguising herself as a man.
Seeing that the grand prize was right within her reach, she would rather not cause any random hiccups at the last minute that could potentially screw herself up.
Just as she was hesitating, the winners of the second and third place had already walked up to the stage with faces filled with joy and excitement.
Especially the winner of the third place, Su Yaping, who was grinning from ear to ear.
That was because he originally stood absolutely no chance at winning the third place. Fortunately for him, he managed to climb his way up to this pedestal thanks to Wu Lingshan shooting herself in the foot by trying to be clever and drugged Shao Mingyi.
Thus, her fall became Su Yaping’s sudden path to success, as if he struck gold out of the blue.
Wu Lingshan, too, understood this, so she became so angry that she gritted her teeth. Regrettably for her, there was nothing she could have done.
The host stood in front of the stage and waited for a while, but Xing Chen was nowhere to be seen.
He tried to urge her, “Miss Xing Chen, please come to the stage to receive your award. You are the undisputed winner of the grand prize today! Everyone of us can’t wait to see just what kind of girl could be capable of such outstanding designs!”
The host waited for another while after he finished.
No one emerged from the row of designers.
The audience, too, finally felt that something was up.
Suddenly, Wu Lingshan came to remember that she had never seen Xing Chen ever since the catwalk segment started!
SL Corporation had reserved this entire row of seats for the designers of the competition. However, Xing Chen had never been sitting here from the very beginning.
Could she… have drunk the drugged water and got admitted to the hospital as well?
Would she be disqualified from receiving her award if she failed to be present?
That would be great!
Wu Lingshan’s lips curled up into a cold smirk.
“Miss Xing Chen, is Miss Xing Chen here with us?”
The host tried to urge her again.
At this moment, a tall and slender figure walked over from the runway and stood beside Si Tu and Su Yaping.
“Mr. Chen, what are you… ?”
Luo Chenxi lowered the pitch of her voice. “Something came up at Miss Xing Chen’s home, so she had no choice but to head back first. Hence, she instructed me to receive the award on her behalf before she left.”
“Ah? Is that so?”
As the host spoke, he turned to look at Sheng Yu. He felt relieved after seeing Sheng Yu lightly nodding his head.
“Alright, let’s have our guests come on stage to present the awards to the winners!”
Mu Yichen and Sheng Yu stood up at the same time from their seats and walked up to the stage.
Sheng Yu’s seat was relatively close to the stage, so he was the first to arrive at the stairs.
He halted his steps and waited until Young Master Mu came to him. He courteously gestured with his hand for Mu Yichen to go ahead on stage.
From an etiquette point of view, Mu Yichen should also return his courtesy to Sheng Yu.
Who would have known that Young Master Mu did not even sweep so much as a glimpse at Sheng Yu. Instead, he strode forward without looking askance and went up on stage himself, completely leaving Sheng Yu hanging behind.
Sheng Yu instantly felt a little awkward.
For some reason, he kept having a weird feeling today. It was as if Young Master Mu really hated him.
However, he was really puzzled and confused by Young Master Mu’s actions.
On the stage, Luo Chenxi stared at Young Master Mu who was walking toward her as her heart pounded furiously.
Mu Yichen had always been extremely handsome during his usual days. However, today, he looked even more dazzling while wearing the casual suit she had designed and sewn with her own hands.
His seemingly moody face with his tightly pursed lips did not affect his handsome face in the least bit. Instead, it gave a feeling of abstinence around him.
Mu Yichen looked at Luo Chenxi with a cold expression and a cold gaze.
Luo Chenxi quickly averted her gaze as she secretly despised herself in her heart.
How could she still be so obsessed with Young Master Mu’s gorgeousness in this situation?
Wait, no, that was not it. She was not looking at Mu Yichen. Instead, she was looking at his… outfit.
D*mn, her work was such a pleasure to the eye. How could she ever look away?
Of course she could not. Nope, she definitely could not. That must be it.
Sheng Yu walked to Luo Chenxi’s side and said with a smile, “Even though Xing Chen could not be here in person to receive her award, I still have to congratulate her well-deserved success. Mr. Chen, please be sure to pass on my words to…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Yichen had already taken the trophy from the staff and stuffed it into Luo Chenxi’s arms.
By doing this, he abruptly intervened and stood in the way of Luo Chenxi and Sheng Yu.
