"The Best Actress at the 3rd Golden Rabbit Awards...Gu Dong!"

"Let us congratulate Gu Dong. Please come on stage to receive the award."

Gu Dong has been in the industry for several years and finally won her first Best Actress trophy.

As she stood on the stage, she felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She thanked her family, her colleagues, and finally, she especially thanked Director Jiang.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at Jiang Ren from the audience. The two close friends were looking at each other from afar across the crowd, yet they had an extraordinary tacit understanding in their hearts.

She knew Jiang Ren was saying, "You did it!"

"Now, please invite Gu Dong to help us announce the Best Director Award."

"The 3rd Golden Rabbit Award for Best Director..." Gu Dong suddenly looked up, more excited than when he won the award himself.

His voice trembled a little: "Jiang Ren!"

Jiang Ren stood up and walked towards her with steady steps. The two hugged on the stage, and Jiang Ren quietly squeezed her palm.

"I would like to thank the organizers for giving me this award, and thank you to Beicheng TV and Ms. Gu Chun for their support. I would like to thank the actors Gu Dong and Li Yizhou for their trust in this drama the most.

Li Yizhou won the Best Supporting Actor award and happily rushed onto the stage. The three of them hugged each other.

The crew of "The Great Yong Dynasty" benefited the most from this award ceremony.

The TV station has already aired the finale, but the aftertaste of the drama remains.

Jiang Ren has also attracted much attention.

Many people wanted to invest in his next drama, but found out that he had joined the crew as a group director.

So the news media began to pay attention to his private life.

The newspaper even said that Jiang Ren and the heroine of this historical drama were a couple.

The reason is that the heroine was photographed many times getting very close to Jiang Ren, and she had expressed to people around her that she liked Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren's face darkened after reading the report.

He was afraid that Gu Dong would be angry, so he spoke in a humble tone when he called.

Gu Dong comforted him: "It's okay, the media just likes to make up stories. They even said that Li Yizhou and I were a couple."

They are public figures, so this kind of thing is inevitable.

Gu Dong was an actor and entertainer, so she was used to this kind of thing, but Jiang Ren couldn't accept it.

In particular, the heroine responded to the news and said that she was indeed pursuing Director Jiang.

The newspapers made up many touching love stories about them.

If you tell lies enough times, the public will believe them to be true.

Jiang Ren specifically called the newspaper office and said, "I'm already in a relationship. Please don't write about that heroine anymore. It's causing me a lot of trouble."

Of course, the newspaper would not let him go, and published his words verbatim in the report the next day.

"Well, you see, they won't just give up like that. You might as well not respond."

Jiang Ren was dissatisfied: "I don't want to see them putting those love stories on me."

Falling in love on the set and having common pursuits, these are the stories of him and Gu Dong.

He also questioned Gu Dong: "Why didn't you react? Don't you care about me?"

Gu Dong looked at him strangely.

"Um?"

"I think you are becoming more and more childish. You actually ask me such a question."

The man who is always aloof and quiet actually acts like a little kid and asks others if they care about him.

He looks more like a young wife than a girl.

However, Gu Dong still answered seriously: "I care about you. I was a little angry when I saw that, but there's nothing I can do. I can't just jump out and say, 'I'm Jiang Ren's girlfriend, right?'"

In fact, they didn't want to hide their relationship, but the seedling of love had just started to grow and Gu Dong didn't want to expose it to the sun too quickly.

Shortly after the award ceremony, Jiang Ren found a time when both of them were free and took Gu Dong home to meet his parents.

Jiang Ren's father, Jiang Heng, is a famous director, and his mother, Jiang Yunuo, is a successful female boss who has opened many restaurants across the country.

Jiang Ren and Gu Dong had been together for a short time when they told their parents about their relationship, so Jiang Yunuo had been looking forward to meeting his future daughter-in-law.

"This is the first time our son brings a girl home, so please don't look so stern." Jiang Yunuo kept reminding Jiang Heng.

"I know. You've said it several times." Jiang Heng was a little nervous at first, but after Jiang Yunuo repeated it several times, he felt relaxed. After all, she just wanted him to put on a smile.

In fact, it is quite scary when someone who doesn’t like to smile suddenly forces a smile.

Jiang Ren even suspected that his father was possessed by evil spirits, but Gu Dong felt that Director Jiang Heng was indeed extraordinary.

Jiang Yunuo glared at Jiang Heng for a few times, then took Gu Dong's hand and said, "Ignore your uncle. He just wants to put on a smile to you because he doesn't want to scare you."

Gu Dong felt amused, but this also represented the couple's attitude towards Gu Dong.

"Have a cup of tea, Gu Dong. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I'm your fan."

Gu Dong thought Aunt Jiang was really polite: "Thank you, I've been wanting to see you for a long time."

Having always heard Jiang Ren talk about his mother, Gu Dong was very curious about what kind of person his aunt was.

She is in her forties, wearing a dress and with curly hair draped over her shoulders. She looks about thirty years old, like an older sister.

She is also very talkative, and she has actually seen all of Gu Dong's plays.

"In the first movie you filmed, you played a staff member. I've watched that movie. Later, you also played Yu Xiaoyan and Hu Xiaobing..."

Gu Dong was a little surprised. She thought Jiang Yunuo was just being polite when she said she was her fan.

"Auntie, why are you..."

Jiang Yunuo smiled and said, "Do you think I'm being polite to you?"

"Of course not. Your uncle and I watched your play, and he praised you."

Now the topic was thrown to Jiang Heng. He coughed and analyzed seriously:

"Your eyes weren't good enough when you first appeared on the big screen. But in the next few dramas, you've improved a lot. This time, your performance in 'The Great Yong Dynasty' was very good."

Gu Dong narrowed her eyes in a smile. It was her honor to receive praise from such a great director. "Thank you, uncle!"

Jiang Ren also smiled at her, thinking that her smug look was really cute.

Jiang Yunuo tugged at Jiang Heng and said with her eyes, "Look at your son."

Jiang Heng blinked and said, "I feel the same way about you."

Jiang Yunuo gave him a soft look, and a genuine smile appeared on Jiang Heng's face.

He looks even colder and harder than Jiang Ren, and seems serious. His expression softens when facing his wife and children.

Gu Dong was fortunate enough to see how he treated Jiang Yunuo, and he felt deeply moved that Jiang Ren's parents had a really good relationship.

Also because he had watched his parents get along since he was a child, Jiang Ren had always been indulgent and considerate towards Gu Dong.

Gu Dong sometimes feels like an ignorant child.

While eating, Jiang Ren would pick up food for her and pick out fish bones for her. Looking at Jiang Heng and Jiang Yunuo at the table, they did the same.

After dinner, Gu Dong followed Jiang Yunuo into the room. She said she wanted to show Gu Dong a photo of Jiang Ren when he was a child.

"This is a one-year-old photo, and he's not wearing pants." Gu Dong thought to himself, he could be considered someone who had seen Jiang Ren's "nude photos".
