Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 86

Hearing the host announce her name, Tangning stood up out of her seat. Holding the recipient list in her hand, she approached the stage elegantly as everyone watched. She deliberately avoided Li Yu as they made their way behind the microphone and stood in front of the screen.

Below the stage, there was an ocean of stars; Beijing's hottest models had all gathered. As she had the opportunity to stand at such a high position, Tangning realized, as a model, she still had a long way to go.

Close by, Mo Yurou's gaze was sharp and proud, containing a sense of disdain and ridicule. She had been looking forward to this day for too long. She was going to take the trophy from Tangning's hands; the hands of a woman who always seemed to fight over everything with her. Once she had this trophy in her hands, it would signify the start of her road to glory.

"Miss Tang has been very famous in both Europe and the US lately because of the Oriental Trend. She is also a model with an extremely promising future, I am truly impressed with your professionalism," Li Yu said before he started presenting the award. "I hope you can continue to work hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Li," Tangning replied in a calm and polite tone; she had her guard up around Li Yu. "You are a miracle. Believe me, luck is on your side..." Li Yu said, hiding a deeper meaning as he gestured for her to announce the recipient list. By allowing her to make the announcement, he was satisfying Mo Yurou's request as well as displaying his respect towards Tangning.

Tangning smiled as she opened the envelope in her hands. She pulled out the recipient list and announced, "The 7th Annual Model Awards Top Ten Model recipients are..."

One after another, model's photos and their names appeared on the big screen showing off some of their best works. Mo Yurou was the last one. From the looks of it, it was obvious she had been forcefully squeezed in. She had crawled her way up and amongst her works on display was the Oriental Trend's magazine cover.

Below the stage, everyone giggled. At the sight of the cover, she was once again a joke as everyone was reminded of how she had received no mentions.

Tangning looked so alive, while she became a human backdrop.

Under the spotlight, the Top Ten Models made their way on stage in the order their names were announced. Meanwhile, ten beautiful female assistants walked out with the ten trophies and flowers.

Tangning followed the order and presented the trophies one at a time, from left to right. Mo Yurou was last in line and her heart felt like it was about to stop. She was about to succeed...

She was about to succeed really soon...

Seeing Tangning stepping closer and closer and hearing the applause of the audience, Mo Yurou felt a little nauseous as her mind became blank. An extreme sense of joy swept over her like a hurricane knocking over everything in its path...

Finally, Tangning stood before Mo Yurou. After smiling at her gently, she stretched out her hand, "Congratulations."

Afterwards, Tangning handed her a bunch of flowers before presenting the trophy to her. However, just as Mo Yurou stretched out her hand and got a touch of the trophy, a young man urgently ran onto the stage and whispered something into Tangning's ear. Tangning immediately pulled the trophy away from Mo Yurou.

Seeing this scene unfold, the audience was stunned...

What happened? Why isn't she presenting the award? Why did Tangning take back the award? Isn't Mo Yurou supposed to receive the award?

Could it be that Tangning is jealous of Mo Yurou for both receiving an award and signing on with a new company?

She can't be that stupid right?
