Meanwhile, Xiao Rufeng was unusually silent since she and Yan Xiuchen left the venue. Yan Xiuchen surmised that she was still upset about losing the award to Ye Mingyu, but didn't know how to make her feel better.
"Are you still upset?" He asked, gently brushing his fingertips over her hair as the car drove them back to his mansion.
"I just thought that if I lose tonight, it would be alright. But I couldn't accept losing to Ye Mingyu out of all the nominees." Xiao Rufeng admitted. "It would have been fine if I lost to someone else, but…"
"You didn't think Ye Mingyu deserved to win." Yan Xiuchen finished her sentence for her.
Xiao Rufeng nodded and lowered her head in shame. She shouldn't have been too confident that she would win.
"Sorry. Just as I thought you could be proud of me. I promise to do better next time." She mumbled.
