The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 253: You Took My Breath Away

The three of them got off the stage. Tang Beibei saw the tall man standing not far away and quickened her pace.

“Hubby, is my performance today better than last time?”

“Yesj you took my breath away.”

She had heavy stage makeup on today, which made her features even more distinct. Without a smile, she looked charming and seductive but the moment she smiled, her whole image fell apart. She just looked silly and cute.

“But I still prefer your look without makeup. So seductive and I can also kiss you wherever 1 like.”

Her face was now fully covered in makeup, including her lips, which was covered in a thick layer of lipstick. There was no place on her face where he could plant a kiss.

Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she also pointed at her face. “I also feel uncomfortable with this eyeliner.”

It was normal for people usually didn’t wear makeup to feel uncomfortable when they had heavy makeup on. Tang Beibei was one of them.

The two of them held hands and went to find a seat.

Meanwhile, Ruan Qi kicked Song Zhou after they got off the stage. He turned his head in confusion.

“What were you doing on stage? You, you f*cking took advantage of me.”

Song Zhou spread out his hands and said shamelessly like Ruan Qi once did, “I was too excited that I couldn’t hold it in.”

“You…”

The man continued, “Miss Ruan, 1 didn’t expect you to be so soft.”

She had teased him the same way before, and now he was dishing it back at her. Ruan Qi was so angry and embarrassed that she wanted to strangle him to death.

“Qiqi, you danced really well.”

Ruan Qi collected herself after she heard Zhu Fan’s voice.

Zhu Fan walked over and stood between her and Song Zhou, intentionally keeping the two of them apart.

“Thank you. That was my normal performance.”

Zhu Fan glanced at Song Zhou before he asked Ruan Qi, “Was the kiss you two shared on stage part of the act?”

“Yes.¹ Ruan Qi replied guiltily.

Zhu Fan had just watched another man kiss his girlfriend, and this man had feelings for her. No one would feel good about that.

“Qiqi, you and that Mr. Song…”

“There’s nothing going on between us. Don i overthink it. It s just for the sake of my work. When the mood calls for it, there, there would be some physical contact.”

Zhu Fan frowned when he saw how nervous she was. “Qiqi, I’m not blaming you. Let’s not talk about it anymore. 1 got you some hot water. Drink some to warm your stomach.”

Song Zhou, who was standing behind them, gritted his teeth when he saw the two of them walk off. He was so angry that he shook the wide sleeves on his period costume and sat down behind Jiang Jingchen.

Tang Beibei asked Song Zhou curiously, “Why did you suddenly want to donate money and even announced it on stage?”

A million yuan, not a hundred yuan. She didn’t expect Song Zhou to be so rich.

“That’s not my money. A friend of mine asked me to donate it. 1 asked the emcee to announce it on stage to let my friend know that his money has been donated.”

“Oh, it’s your friend.”

Tang Beibei continued with a smile, “Then your friend is really generous. He’s a good person. Help me thank him for his donation to the medical school.”

Song Zhou glanced at the anonymous donor, Jiang Jingchen, and nodded.

He thought that the young master was usually very stingy, so why was he suddenly so generous? He used a million yuan to draw everyone’s attention to their performance.

This was because a best performance award would be given out at the end of the New Year’s Eve show. The students who won this award would be given extra credits and medals of honor.

Although they performed very well on stage, they needed an advantage to win the best performance award.

He and the young master had studied the likes and dislikes of university students. They knew that an emotional story would resonate well with the students, hence they created a love-themed performance.

Their dance, the plot, costumes, makeup, and the artistic interpretation on stage were all undeniable.

But his young master was a meticulous person. He donated money to the school as insurance.

The university chancellor went on stage to give a speech at the end of the show.

He announced that, based on audience voting today, the best performance award went to “A Dream”.

When Tang Beibei heard the chancellor say this, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up. She was very surprised.

“The chancellor is talking about us, right? Did we win the award?”

“Yes, Beibei. Go up and receive the award.” Jiang Jingchen said as he pinched the back of her neck encouragingly.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi ran toward the stage excitedly. When the music started, the two besties looked at each other. They didn’t walk up to the stage but did a three-step jump, a backflip, followed by a magnificent landing on stage before they bowed to the crowd.

“Woo-hoo!”

The audience cheered loudly after watching their acrobatic entrance and the applause became even more intense.

Seeing how energetic they were, the chancellor smiled and spoke into the microphone, “The two young girls’ energy has won everyone’s favor. I’m very honored to meet them in person today!”

The chancellor laughed and continued, “Why did I say that? Actually, I’ve been paying attention to them before they even performed on stage. They shot a video in school a few months back and used dance to introduce rhe beautiful sceneries of A-University to the world. ”

“Some of you may have noticed that the videos they posted online were all shot in different parts of the university with our students in the background. 1 saw in the comments section that many of our alumni missed those places.”

The chancellor pointed at the big screen on stage where Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi s first video appeared.

The video started with Ruan Qi speaking.

She said that she and her bestie loved to dance, but they couldn’t use the dance studios in school. So, they just wandered around the school and found random places to entertain themselves.

They would leave their footprints in every corner of the school to commemorate their time as university students here.

Then, there was a montage of different corners of the school. Every corner was a place where students frequented almost every day: the library, school cafeteria, classrooms, front of the dormitory, back of the dormitory, the track and field stadium, even the roadside.

Finally, there were screenshots of the number of views and likes on their first video.

The chancellor added, “I’m very grateful to these two students for showing the world beautiful sceneries of our university. Thank you for introducing our university to the world. This kind of invisible publicity has let people from A-University and people from all over the world know about A-University.”

“1 would like to take this opportunity to thank you and hope that you’ll continue to post more videos and tell the world interesting things about our school.”

Tang Beibei looked at the chancellor in astonishment. When she started making videos with Ruan Qi, it was just a means to keep their account alive in hope of monetizing their content someday. She did not expect to receive such high praise from the university chancellor. She suddenly felt a heavy sense of responsibility.

Ruan Qi thought and felt the same way. The two of them looked at each other and thanked the chancellor and the university for nurturing them.

The chancellor listened to their flattery, handed them the winner’s trophy and certificate with a smile before he handed the microphone back to the emcee.

The emcee then mentioned that Tang Beibei was not only a dean s list student of the Chinese Medicine Faculty, but she often came up tops. She was apparently also a translator and earned 5,000 yuan for a translation job. Students in the audience all looked quite envious now.

This girl could have relied on her looks to make a living, but she relied on her capabilities. They just made a few casual dance videos and caught the chancellor s attention. He even commended them in front of the entire school.

Tsk, was she the Queen of Fairies or what?

Tang Beibei was embarrassed by the emcee’s praise. She smiled shyly as she left the stage with trophy in hand.

After getting off the stage, she immediately ran back to Jiang Jingchen to show off her trophy.

“Hubby, let me show you my first trophy.”

“Mm. My Beibei is truly amazing.”

“Hehe, we still have to thank you and Song Zhou for helping us with our program. From editing the music to rehearsing the dance with us. This trophy belongs to all four of us!”

“This glory belongs to all of us. Thank you, First Young Master Jiang, Butler Song.” Ruan Qi said.

Song Zhou realized that Ruan Qi liked to give people nicknames, and the nicknames changed according to her mood.

When she was happy, she would call her Mr. Song or Song Zhou.

When she was unhappy, she would call her Boss Song, Butler Song, and Song So-and-so.

Jiang Jingchen was calm though. He was in a good mood as long as he could accompany his wife and help her get what she wanted.

It was the kind of happiness that money couldn’t buy.

But he was unhappy at the same time. His wife was too outstanding and drew too much attention to herself.

Sigh, his wife was quite gullible. If he didn’t keep a close eye on her, she might be snatched away by some random man..
