Xie Jinqiu's words "We can get married" had such a shocking effect that it left Ning Chuchu speechless for a long time and her brain couldn't move.

What's happening?!

Ning Chuchu always thought that she was always the one who was enthusiastic about her engagement to Xie Jinqiu.

For Xie Jinqiu, this marriage may be very confusing, and it may even be very upsetting to him.

After all, before she was bound to the truth system, Xie Jinqiu had completely ignored her fiancée. Ning Chuchu didn't feel the slightest concern from him. No wonder she thought Xie Jinqiu had no expectations for this marriage.

But now, Xie Jinqiu actually offered to marry her? !

This development was beyond Ning Chuchu's previous understanding.

She couldn't help but ponder, did Xie Jinqiu simply want to complete the engagement, or was he... a little attracted to her, so he wanted to marry her?

The latter conjecture sounds very absurd, but Ning Chuchu inexplicably remembered Xie Jinqiu's "weirdness" during this period of time.

He would often ask her to have dinner out of nowhere, and he would be considerate and take care of her quietly when they got along. When she was in trouble, Xie Jinqiu would silently help her without Ning Chuchu taking the initiative to speak.

That kind of gentleness and care that moistened everything silently seemed non-invasive, but it seemed to be omnipresent, gradually permeating Ning Chuchu's life.

Ning Chuchu was so frightened that she almost broke out in a cold sweat. She subconsciously changed the subject, "Uh... marriage or something, isn't it too sudden to talk about this now?"

"By the way, have you eaten today?" Ning Chuchu changed the subject very unnaturally.

Ning Chuchu's intention to avoid was too obvious, how could Xie Jinqiu not hear it?

But he only paused for a moment, and then continued speaking along with Ning Chuchu's words. This tacit consideration made Ning Chuchu feel very uncomfortable.

The two chatted absentmindedly for a while, but Ning Chuchu was the first to give up and was ready to end the topic in a dry voice.

"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you."

"Um."

When Ning Chuchu couldn't wait to hang up the phone, Xie Jinqiu suddenly said: "Chuchu, you can try to rely on me."

As if he was afraid of scaring Ning Chuchu, Xie Jinqiu did not speak too directly. But for a person like him who is reserved and taciturn by nature, these words are enough to express his thoughts.

Ning Chuchu was shocked again.

Miraculously, she didn't feel much surprise, but only a sense of relief. It was a bit heavy, and forced her to abandon some fantasies and start facing reality.

Ning Chuchu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again her eyes were clear and bright, and she sighed helplessly.

In fact, after Xie Jinqiu said those words that almost broke the window paper, she could still change the subject as before, or simply pretend not to understand, continue to fool him, and continue to escape.

Anyway, Xie Jinqiu didn't look like the kind of person who would press forward step by step, so she just bullied him into being a boring gourd who didn't dare to hit the ball straight.

But... thinking of Xie Jinqiu's unsparing efforts to help her during this period, Ning Chuchu really couldn't bring herself to fool him.

Ning Chuchu thought rather self-destructively, when in doubt, just tell the truth.

It's definitely right to listen to the system.

She still remembered that when she was first bound to the system, the system always asked her to face her fiancé with a frank attitude. But at that time, she did not want to lose a golden thigh, so she still tried every means to avoid the restrictions of the system and pretended to be in front of Xie Jinqiu.

Maybe she really should have let Xie Jinqiu see her "true face". Ning Chuchu thought calmly.

She has indeed changed. She once dared not express her feelings, but now she can express them fluently.

It seemed as if she no longer had any truth to tell.

"Mr. Xie, there is something I need to talk to you about." Ning Chuchu looked calm and spoke in a calm tone, as if what she was about to say was a very ordinary thing.

When Xie Jinqiu on the other end of the phone heard this, his hand on the table unconsciously clenched into a fist. His eyes darkened slightly, and he had some premonition in his heart.

The next second, his premonition came true.

Ning Chuchu said with some apology in her voice, "Mr. Xie, actually, I used to show that I liked you very much and was looking forward to this marriage... It was all fake."

After telling the secret that had been buried in her heart for a long time, Ning Chuchu suddenly felt relieved, and the following "surrender" went more smoothly.

"To be honest, I took the initiative to propose to you because of your family background. I coaxed you because I wanted to get some resources from you, or let you help me deal with Yun Shu." Ning Chuchu sighed softly. At this moment, thinking back to her former "ambition", she really felt awkward and at a loss.

She quickly defended herself by saying, "Of course, I have now... uh, changed my ways!"

"I know that I was wrong to only think about using you before, so..."

Before Ning Chuchu could finish her words, Xie Jinqiu's clear and magnetic voice interrupted her.

Xie Jinqiu's tone was serious, with a hint of unexplainable nervousness, and he said, "No."

Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned.

Xie Jinqiu paused for a moment and explained: "No. There is nothing wrong with you."

He said seriously, "I am your fiancé. Whatever you want from me, it is your due."

"I..." Xie Jinqiu paused, then lowered his voice, seeming a little embarrassed, "I just hope you need me more."

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She was speechless.

Is this still her cold and taciturn fiancé? The style of the painting is not right!

The system bubbled up and complained: "Host, your PUA skills are very good! Even Xie has become your slave!"

Ning Chuchu: "...How can you talk like that? What is a slave? Am I that kind of person?!"

Although Ning Chuchu responded to the system with righteous words, she actually felt quite guilty inside.

Xie Jinqiu suddenly said such straightforward and ambiguous words, which really made her a little... hard to resist.

Ning Chuchu said with a stiff upper lip: "But... I think we need to re-evaluate this relationship."

"After all, we didn't have any emotional foundation before, and we didn't spend much time together, so we didn't know each other well." Ning Chuchu said seriously.

"Marriage is a very serious matter, and I don't think we have the deep emotional foundation to get married."

Ning Chuchu's low tone sounded to Xie Jinqiu's ears, but his expression suddenly darkened.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the intense emotions surging in his eyes.

Xie Jinqiu calmed down and said slowly: "Maybe you don't have any feelings for me, but, I..."

"I have feelings for you."

Xie Jinqiu felt that his cheeks were a little hot, and his heartbeat was as fast as if it was about to jump out of his chest, but he still firmly said what was in his heart.

"Chuchu, relationships can be cultivated, and I will work hard to learn to be a qualified husband." Xie Jinqiu was as serious as if he was discussing a very important business, with no intention of joking at all.

Ning Chuchu was stunned and regretted calling him for a moment because she really didn't know how this would end.

As if sensing Ning Chuchu's embarrassment from her silence, Xie Jinqiu sighed inaudibly, and then spoke again: "Chu Chu, putting aside feelings, I will also be a good marriage partner."

"I will fully support your career and respect all your decisions." Xie Jinqiu said clearly and sincerely.

Ning Chuchu's mind twitched when she heard this, and she subconsciously asked back: "If I decide to cancel the engagement, will you respect me?"

Xie Jinqiu: "..."

There was silence for a moment, and then Xie Jinqiu's deep voice came, "Chu Chu, I think you can think about it again and don't make a decision in a hurry."

Ning Chuchu inexplicably heard a hint of helplessness and escape from his words. She had never seen such an almost giving in behavior from Xie Jinqiu.

Ning Chuchu smiled unconsciously, and she was actually in a good mood. She nodded readily, "Okay, then let's all think about this relationship calmly and make a decision later."

After the agreement, the two hung up the phone.

Ning Chuchu let out a long breath, her mood inevitably feeling a little complicated.

She had thought that when she told the truth to Xie Jinqiu, he would at least be displeased, if not angry, so that she could naturally cancel the engagement.

But Xie Jinqiu's reaction... was really beyond her expectation.

Ning Chuchu sighed softly. She really should think about this carefully.

From the current point of view, Xie Jinqiu is indeed an excellent marriage partner, and both families are very optimistic about this marriage. Even Ning Chuchu herself cannot dislike Xie Jinqiu.

But... the word marriage made Ning Chuchu subconsciously feel resistance.

Therefore, she needs to think carefully about how to deal with this complicated relationship.

However, this call with Xie Jinqiu was not without success. At least she had frankly told Xie Jinqiu her inner thoughts and no longer concealed anything from him.

This made Ning Chuchu feel like a huge weight had been lifted off her heart.

No matter how she and Xie Jinqiu end up in the future, at least it is a decision they made together after talking openly and honestly.

She can have a clear conscience.

Not long after Pei Wang was framed, the entertainment industry ushered in another eye-catching event - the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony.

The Golden Phoenix Awards has officially announced the list of nominees. Compared to the Best Actor and Best Actress that received much attention in previous years, the most discussed nominees this year are for the Best Supporting Actress.

Just because Ning Chuchu, the most popular female star at the moment, has become the hottest candidate for the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Phoenix Awards.

Before the award ceremony officially started, the Internet was already abuzz with discussion about the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award.

Since Swordsman was a big hit both at the box office and in terms of reputation, and Ning Chuchu's role as the Holy Lady of Divine Sound was so deeply rooted in people's hearts, there was a very high chance that Ning Chuchu would win the Best Supporting Actress award.

Amidst such heated discussions, the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony arrived as scheduled.

On that day, many stars gathered and actresses from all walks of life competed with each other for beauty.

Ning Chuchu loves wearing red recently, and today she wore a red long skirt.

The dress she was wearing was a couture creation of the season from a famous high-end brand, which had just announced her as its spokesperson. The bright red dress made her look like an elegant and noble queen from a fairy tale. When she raised her chin and glanced at the camera with the corners of her lips slightly raised, her charm made everyone's heart sway.

Not only the dress she was wearing, but also the bracelets on Ning Chuchu's wrists, the rings on her fingers, the necklace around her neck, and the earrings on her earlobes were all gifts from well-known high-end brands.

This set of expensive and prestigious luxury goods reflects Ning Chuchu's popularity and commercial value.

Red aura nourishes people. These extremely expensive luxury brands created Ning Chuchu's radiant image as a wealthy lady that night, stunning all the audiences who watched the live broadcast of the award ceremony.

[I have been welding in a factory for ten years. I thought there would never be another woman who could make my eyes light up. I never expected Sister Ning to suddenly break into my heart! ]

[↑If you dare to say this kind of cheesy love talk in front of Sister Ning, you will probably be scolded by the anti-correction expert Sister Ning to the point of doubting your life, right? ]

[Sister Ning is so beautiful! Her facial features are amazing! Even her jawline is so beautiful! ]

[I'm not saying this, but Sister Ning's jawline is clearer than my life plan. :)]

[Sister Ning, do you know? Freud's self theory has three types, namely ego, id and ()]

【↑Wear some pants, sister! 】

[I was wondering why there was a burnt smell in the air. Turns out you guys are burning up!]

After the most dazzling Ning Chuchu entered the venue, the guests who entered later did not make much of a splash. Soon the award ceremony officially began.

When the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award was announced, the performance clips of each nominee were shown on the big screen one by one.

When the Holy Lady of Divine Sound, played by Ning Chuchu, appeared, everyone present held their breath unconsciously.

The enchantingly beautiful Saint of the Demon Cult was so charming in every frown and smile. When she smiled and jumped off the cliff without looking back, everyone's heart unconsciously tightened, and then they were filled with deep sadness.

The arrogant, free-spirited and uninhibited Saint Shenyin has become a favorite in many people's hearts.

Even though this movie has been in theaters for a long time and the audience were all famous directors and actors, everyone was still amazed by Ning Chuchu's acting skills.

She really brought the role of the Holy Lady of Divine Sound to life.

There was no suspense about the Best Supporting Actress award, which was smoothly won by Ning Chuchu.

When the Best Supporting Actress award camera stopped on Ning Chuchu's face, thunderous applause broke out in the venue. Everyone was convinced that the award should belong to Ning Chuchu.

Ning Chuchu walked slowly to the award podium amid applause and attention, her mind being dazed for a moment.

The trophy in her hand felt heavy, representing that all her hard work over the past few months had paid off.

She achieved her first memorable achievement as an actress and took a big step towards her ultimate goal.

Before giving her acceptance speech, Ning Chuchu smiled at the people in the audience who were smiling and applauding, and did not speak immediately.

She immediately called out to the system in her heart: "Tong, thank you."

Unconsciously, Ning Chuchu seemed to have said "thank you" to the system many times, but no matter how many times she thanked it, it could not fully express the gratitude in her heart.

The system will never know what his arrival means to her.

The system once told her that in the original novel, she was the heroine and eventually became a famous movie queen. Now, due to the appearance of the jade bracelet, many variables suddenly appeared in her life.

Ning Chuchu doesn't know if she can still become a movie queen as planned, but if she really has to choose, she would rather face an uncertain future than miss the encounter with the system.

The system means more to her than just letting her feel how good it feels to tell the truth and helping her find her original self. More importantly, it provides her with companionship that gives her infinite peace of mind.

The time she was bound to the system was the happiest time of her life.

When she has nothing to do, she would tease this irritable little system and chat and laugh with it in her heart anytime and anywhere. She has never felt so relaxed before.

So, when Ning Chuchu stood on the coveted award-winning podium, her first thought was to share her joy with her system.

The system joyfully set off a fireworks special effect, and the mechanical voice also revealed a sense of joy: "Congratulations host, congratulations host! You are one step closer to success!"

"Also, I've said it many times," the system said seriously, "all your success is inseparable from your own efforts!"

"Don't you always say 'feudal superstition is bad'? Why do you think that the lucky buff I gave you for telling the truth is helping you now?"

"Host, you have to believe in yourself!"

Ning Chuchu was slightly startled, and her eyes suddenly softened.

At this moment, everyone outside saw that Ning Chuchu's exquisite and beautiful face showed a bright smile as bright as spring flowers. The cold and arrogant aura on her body suddenly faded away, revealing a soft smile that made people dazzled.

Ning Chuchu smiled silently and did not respond to the system, but there was an unspoken understanding between the two of them.

Then, she relaxed her expression slightly, put on her standard yet faint smile again, and began to express her gratitude for receiving the award.

Ning Chuchu thanked the director, leading actors and all the staff of "Swordsman" as usual, and thanked her friends for their help and encouragement.

Ning Chuchu did not, as many people expected, say something surprising in her award speech, as she often did in the past.

She just delivered a standard speech with nothing new to say.

However, the subtle difference from others is that Ning Chuchu never mentioned her family in her thank-you speech.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she avoided talking about her family, and everyone could more or less understand the distance between her and that family. However, there were some people who were so tactless as to ask Ning Chuchu about the thing she was most afraid to talk about in public.

During the interview after the award ceremony, Ning Chuchu put on a business smile and planned to leave quickly after dealing with the group of reporters.

Suddenly, a middle-aged male reporter wearing glasses asked sharply, "Ms. Ning, why didn't you mention your family in your acceptance speech? Is there any grudge between you and your family?"

After these words were spoken, the scene became awkward for a moment. Everyone held their breath unconsciously and looked at this man in awe.

Many people have experienced Ning Chuchu's temper and her unforgiving mouth. Now, no one dares to provoke this arrogant sister, for fear that she will embarrass herself. Unexpectedly, there are warriors who are not afraid of Ning Chuchu's power and dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers? !

Ning Chuchu's reaction to this knowingly asked and malicious question was to look away with a smile, without even a glance, let alone an answer.

She knew this kind of reporter very well. No matter how she answered, no matter how thorough her answer was, he would distort her original intention in the final report and make a deliberately sensational report.

So, the best way to deal with it is not to look at him.

Ning Chuchu now knows how to prevent others from taking advantage of her popularity.

However, the reporter seemed to have a lot of connections, and the next second he blurted out a bombshell, "Ms. Ning, I heard that your stepmother has been detained for economic crimes. Does this have anything to do with you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other reporters became agitated and asked about Ning Chuchu.

Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes and looked at the reporter dangerously.

Ning Chuchu opened her red lips and asked, "What's your name? Where is your hometown? Who are your parents? What do you do? How much is your monthly salary? Do you have a house or a car?"

The reporter looked confused, "Why are you asking this?"

Ning Chuchu smiled coldly, "Then why are you asking me so many random questions?"

"If you have nothing to do, go find a job in a factory. The work of a reporter can be done by more professional people."

The reporter was so embarrassed that he was speechless for a while.

After that, she glanced at the other reporters and asked calmly, "Any other questions?"

The other reporters looked at each other, and then - they all changed the topic and started asking questions about the movie, no longer daring to mention Ning Chuchu's personal affairs.

Even though they were extremely curious, they did not dare to touch the tattoo of this female star who is known as the "Queen of Dissent".

I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!

Seeing that the reporters had become obedient, Ning Chuchu finally revealed a relieved smile.

However, since Yun Shu's matter has been brought up in public, it will inevitably be subject to all kinds of speculation. Rather than waiting for all kinds of outrageous rumors to spread, it is better to explain it clearly now.

So, after the reporters questioned Ning Chuchu rudely, she was willing to speak up to satisfy their curiosity.

Ning Chuchu said: "Ms. Yunshu has divorced my father a few days ago. She is no longer my stepmother. As for her being raped, it was naturally because she did something wrong. Let's wait for the official investigation announcement for details."

"Since I no longer have any relationship with Ms. Yunshu, please stop bothering me with irrelevant people and things."

Ning Chuchu's tone of explanation was relatively polite, but her attitude was visibly tough, and everyone could tell at once that if anyone dared to mention Yun Shu in front of her again and deliberately make her unhappy, Sister Ning would be rude.

The reporters sighed quietly. Ning Chuchu was truly unique in the entertainment industry in being so "rampant", yet even these sharp reporters dared not provoke her.

The interview ended successfully, and Ning Chuchu went home contentedly with her glory.

When she was about to reach the apartment where she was staying, a ferocious figure suddenly rushed forward and blocked her car without any care.

The driver slammed on the brakes, but fortunately Ning Chuchu was wearing a seat belt and was not thrown out.

"What's going on?" Ning Chuchu frowned and asked unhappily.

The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and said fearfully, "Someone suddenly rushed out."

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu looked forward, but was stunned when she saw it.

There was a woman standing in front of the car with her arms outstretched. Her hair was messy and she looked very wild, but her expression was vicious and ferocious.

Those eyes were fixed on Ning Chuchu in the car, with a desperate look in their eyes.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Yun Yirou?"

Yes, the vicious and ferocious woman in front of her was her competitive stepsister.

Oh, now the mother and daughter of the Yun family have been driven out by Ning Guangzhong. Yun Yirou is no longer a lady from a wealthy family, let alone her stepsister.

Since Ning Chuchu revealed Yun Shu's true identity in front of Ning Guangzhong, she only handed over the evidence of Yun Shu's illegal crimes in her hands, and then no longer paid attention to the mother and daughter who fell into the mud.

They can no longer make any waves.

At this time, Yun Yirou was already yelling, "Ning Chuchu, come out!"

Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes, sneered disdainfully, and was about to tell the driver to ignore this lunatic and drive away.

But the next second, her eyes suddenly fixed on Yun Yirou's left wrist.

If she saw it correctly, what Yun Yirou was wearing on her left wrist was the jade bracelet that had waited for an opportunity to steal her luck but ended up being fleeced by her.

But...how did the jade bracelet turn into pure black? !
