"Thanks."
Qi Jiu handed the black pen to the hostess and accepted the flash of cameras.
"So, Qiqi, what's different about coming here as an actress this time? Have you experienced any changes in your mindset?"
The young woman, feeling the weight of the flashing lights in front of her, spoke softly, "Let me know that my previous efforts have paid off, and I'm very happy to stand here as an actress."
"Qiqi, your work 'Peace of Mind' caused a sensation. Did you learn anything from this work?"
The host picked out a few questions that fans on Weibo most wanted to know and asked them.
Qi Jiu nodded. "It helps me understand national sentiment better. As a princess of a country, Gong Mingyue bears responsibilities. Some of her status is beyond her control, but since she enjoys wealth and honor that ordinary people don't have, she must also shoulder the responsibilities that come with it."
Before walking the red carpet, she answered a few questions from the host, and the two of them went to their respective seats.
Qi Silin looked at the girl's expressionless face and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you... feeling unwell?"
If others couldn't tell, he certainly could. Along the way, this guy kept touching his stomach. Could it be that his stomach hurt?
Sitting in the front row, Qi Jiu felt people coming in one after another. Hearing the words of the person next to her, she subconsciously shook her head. "It's nothing."
I don't know why, but my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, even though I haven't eaten anything weird.
Suddenly realizing this, the girl was startled.
Has she not had her period yet this month? She'd been so busy she'd completely forgotten. Thinking this, she lowered her eyes, looking at her wrist, and pursed her lips.
As time passed, the studio for this grand event was filled with people, including film and television investors, directors, and, of course, the actors.
Qi Jiu's previous work, "Xin An," directly elevated her status as an actress, which is why she was able to sit in the front row.
During this time, an actor she often saw on television greeted her.
Finally, the grand ceremony began.
The host, quite experienced, watched the actors on stage holding their trophies, and the girl tilted her head slightly.
It seems we're almost there.
"Next up is the award that everyone is most looking forward to: Best Actress of the Quarter! At the beginning of this year, there have been quite a few outstanding actresses who have stood out. They are all very excellent, but there is only one Best Actress award. So please give us the final result, Ms. Ling Yue."
Ling Yue, the actor who had just won the award, stood in front of the microphone, looking at the small envelope that the hostess had just handed him, and the smile on his lips grew more and more obvious.
"Who will win the Best Actress award? Let's welcome—Ms. Qi Jiu, the lead actress of 'Heart's Peace'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the studio.
Qi Jiu seemed to have anticipated this outcome, a smile on her face as she greeted her companions beside her.
Amid thunderous applause, she slowly walked towards the stage. With each step forward, she finally reached the center of the stage.
Ling Yue looked at her, smiled brightly, and handed her the trophy.
"Congratulations! I knew you would achieve what you have today from the very first day we started working together."
Although Qi Jiu has only been in the industry for a short time, her quick wit in "Xin An" has propelled her to stardom. However, it's also true that besides her popularity and the initial buzz generated by the director, Qi Jiu's acting skills were one of the reasons for "Xin An's" explosive success.
It would be unreasonable if she didn't win this award.
Thank you.
Clutching the trophy, gazing at the words 'Best Actress' at the bottom, she finally faced the audience. "Hello everyone, I'm actress Qi Jiu, thank you all..."
Qi Silin looked at the people shining on the stage, and the gentleness on his face never faded.
Look, the outstanding person on stage is his wife, and it's legal.
This grand event was quite meaningful.
Night, starry sky.
Qi Jiu, who had already changed out of her formal dress, looked at the big fish and meat in front of her. She should have been very hungry, but as soon as she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with her chopsticks, before she could even put it in her mouth, she felt her stomach churning.
After several attempts yielded the same result, she ran to the bathroom under Qi Silin's somewhat frightened gaze.
The man sitting in his seat was still a little dazed, but when he heard the retching sound coming from inside, he was so frightened that he ran over immediately.
"Qiqi? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the hospital."
Qi Jiu washed her face in the pool, looking slightly disheveled. She looked at the man beside her, chuckled softly, and unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
"I'm fine, I'm not sick, don't worry. However, I think you might have to..."
She can treat herself, and with her knowledge of many symptoms and pulse diagnosis, she now has a clear understanding of them.
The rest of the words were left unsaid, but Qi Silin still realized something and paused, startled.
"Dad?" Could it be that he's going to be a dad? He's going to be a dad!
Here it is.
Qi Silin: "..." Trying to take advantage at such a crucial moment?
Soon, the good news spread instantly. Qi Jiu had just come out of the doctor's office with the report in her hand when she saw a large group of people at the door, so many that they seemed to be blocking the road.
Qi Jiu: "..."
"Qiqi, how is it?"
Liu Li rushed forward and snatched the report from Qi Jiu's hand before Qi Jiu could say anything. Looking at the lines of text on it, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"That's great!" It really is!
"Why are you all here? She's only just pregnant; it's not that stressful time yet."
Look at the front of you, the Qi family, the Shen family, and the Delin family are all here, and they immediately filled the hospital corridor.
"How could we not come! Pregnancy is such a big deal, of course we had to come and see!" Kesen stepped forward and looked at Qi Jiu's still somewhat flat belly, finding it amazing.
Inside that flat belly, a life was growing.
Since learning that Qi Jiu was pregnant, Qi Silin has been somewhat absent-minded at the company every day, and he would run home to check on her from time to time. Even when he was at the company or outside, he couldn't help but call her.
The three families of Shen, Qi, and Delin took turns preparing nutritious meals for the girl and kept a close eye on her every day.
For this, Qi Jiu was often criticized.
"Qi Jiu! I've told you eighty thousand times, you shouldn't use knives or guns while pregnant!"
