Chapter 549: Out of League of Bachelors.
~Present~
After Jia Fei and Yuhan arrived at the Awards Ceremony, HJ Entertainment issued an official statement confirming their relationship, causing the fans to go into a frenzy.
The company's surprising acceptance of the dating news, along with their readiness to reveal the details of their relationship, caught everyone off guard.
Many had anticipated that this controversy would be the end of Jia Fei's career. After all, a sex scandal or the revelation of an idol being kept as a mistress to an old businessman could seriously damage her reputation in the entertainment industry.
Before the official statement, the loyal fans of The Queens and Jia Fei were urging Xu Nuan to swiftly release a statement refuting the scandalous news and defending Jia Fei's honor.
To everyone's astonishment, instead of denying the situation, Jia Fei's company embraced the dating news, which was a bold move considering she had recently joined HJ Entertainment as a solo artist. Despite her previous popularity as a member of The Queens, the group's disbandment had diminished the fame and status of its members.
Rebuilding the same level of power, fame, and respect among fans and the public would require hard work and a commitment to avoiding scandals.
To add to it, Yuhan even accompanied Jia Fei to the Awards Ceremony, leaving no room for doubt about their connection.
In a confident and indisputable manner, they were boldly proclaiming their relationship to the world, and fans knew that only Jia Fei could serve up such an enticing display of affection.

The awards ceremony was buzzing with excitement, and all eyes were fixated on Jia Fei. She completely stole the spotlight, outshining even the most popular idols and artists in attendance.
The hosts, following cues from the director, couldn't help but ask Jia Fei and Yuhan questions throughout the ceremony, adding to the anticipation and excitement.
Likewise, the cameraman was captivated by the duo in their striking all-black outfits. They looked like a modern-day Handsome Knight and the Rebellious Princess. To please the eyes of the fans, he made sure to capture every moment of this historic occasion.
Not a single detail escaped his lens.
The director was thrilled as the live stream views of the ceremony skyrocketed at a remarkable speed. Everyone wanted to witness this controversial and visually captivating couple firsthand.
But that's not all.
Jia Fei's solo stage performance became the highlight of the night, marking her first major performance as a solo artist since joining HJ Entertainment. She expertly blended her solo song with a nostalgic track from The Queens, infusing them with a rocking style exclusively for the awards ceremony.
Fans were already ecstatic to see Jia Fei back on stage after a long absence, and when the Queens' part began, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Loyal Queens fans couldn't hold back their tears as memories of the good old days flooded back, reminiscing about how Jiang Yue used to own the stage.
They deeply missed her—her mesmerizing voice, her emotionally charged lyrics accompanied by rocking music. Each song she performed carried a hidden meaning, and her beaming smile while on stage was forever etched in their hearts.
Jiang Yue was the happiest while performing on the stage.
Who could have imagined that the Queens would disband so sorrowfully, losing such a valuable member and leader who held the group together like a strong thread?
However, seeing Jia Fei and Luo Dan move forward in their lives brought happiness to the hearts of Queens fans. Although Jiang Yue is no longer with them, her videos and songs serve as cherished reminders of her. They provide immense comfort to her devoted fans.
Jia Fei's performance left everyone in awe and received massive praise from fans and spectators. Not only did she deliver a mind-blowing show, but she also walked away with numerous awards.
The night was a triumph for Jia Fei as she scooped up the highly anticipated Best Rookie of the Year Award. In addition, her collaboration song with The Knights snagged the prestigious Best Song of the Year accolade. And as if that wasn't enough, she also secured the title of Most Popular Face of the Year.
Considering she had only recently debuted as a solo artist, the fact that she earned multiple awards at her first award ceremony was truly remarkable. Her fans were bursting with pride, and Xu Nuan, who watched the live stream of the ceremony from home, couldn't have been happier for her success.

The Glory Building-
The next day, Xu Nuan invited everyone to their home for dinner to celebrate Jia Fei and Han Liang's impressive wins at the Celestial Star Awards Ceremony, which is renowned for its authentic recognition of talent.
Xu Nuan felt an immense sense of pride.
Han Zihao was initially hesitant about the idea. He was concerned about Xu Nuan's well-being. She had been under a lot of stress due to Jia Fei's scandal, and she didn't even have a chance to rest after returning from their honeymoon.
However, Xu Nuan was adamant about celebrating their friends' achievements together.
In the end, Han Zihao gave in to his stubborn wife. They reached a compromise and decided to host a small party at their own home instead of going out. He didn't want Xu Nuan to travel and add more stress to her plate.
This way, whenever she felt tired, he could easily persuade her to take a break and rest. He wouldn't have to worry about her as much.
"Why did you guys come so late? Han Liang and Yuhan are already here," Xu Nuan complained as she opened the door for Luo Dan and Jia Fei, letting them inside. "You live in the same building as us, and yet you were late."
Jia Fei changed into the house slippers provided by Xu Nuan and replied, "We're busy people. Of course, we'll be late. Unlike these two who have all the free time in the world," she added sarcastically.
Luo Dan gave Jia Fei a side-eye and commented, "Busy? You were just sleeping and playing games all day." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"I was busy playing and improving my rankings. So what?" Jia Fei stuck her tongue out playfully and made her way inside, looking around the place.
"Wow! It's surprisingly clean," Jia Fei remarked, teasing Xu Nuan about her usually messy nature. It was Jia Fei's first time visiting Xu Nuan's place, as they usually met at the café or downstairs at their place.
Before, she didn't come to her place because Xu Nuan was living together with Han Zihao, and she didn't want to be the third wheeler between the couple.
However, who would have thought that the first time she would be visiting her place, Xu Nuan would have gotten a marriage certificate already?
"It really is clean," Luo Dan agreed, knowing Xu Nuan's tendency to be messy and cluttered. She knew that if Xu Nuan lived alone, the place would be nothing short of a mess.
"It's only this clean because of her husband. Otherwise, there's no way Xu Nuan's place would be like this," Jia Fei remarked, teasing Xu Nuan further. She specifically used the term 'Husband' to tease her further and to tell her that she is out of the league of the bachelors like them.
"If you're here to make fun of me, you can leave," Xu Nuan pouted, gesturing to Jia Fei to go back where she came from.
Jia Fei grinned mischievously, enjoying Xu Nuan's reaction. "Of course, I won't leave. I'm here to eat. I need to finish all the food before I leave," she declared excitedly, taking a seat next to Yuhan, who had already made space for her.
