Chapter 1065: The Queen of the Headlines!
As if sensing Gu Qiqi’s surprise, Professor Brown smiled and explained in a low voice, “I know you don’t want to tell everyone that you have a child. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
Gu Qiqi glanced at him coolly.
Professor Brown, you are so… understanding.
“Doctor Gu, just promise my father. We’re really looking forward to you and the little packrat coming as guests…” Susanna jumped out of nowhere and held Professor Brown’s arm as she persuaded Gu Qiqi.
Gu Qiqi facepalmed.
Well, it was most difficult for her to reject a girl’s coquettish words.
Pursing her lips, Gu Qiqi said calmly, “There’s no problem with me going. As for the little boy… I have to go back and ask for his opinion.”
Professor Brown said, “Okay, I’ll wait to hear from you.”
Susanna was starry-eyed and almost pounced over to hug Gu Qiqi. “You must come. I’ll wait for you!”
As they were chatting, the host announced loudly in the distance, “Next, let’s welcome the champion of this compet.i.tion, Miss Gu Qiqi, to start the ceremony by pouring the champagne down the tower for everyone!”
“Whoa—!” A cheer went up.
Everyone clapped in envy as they watched Gu Qiqi slowly walk towards the center of the stage.
There, dozens upon dozens of sparkling crystal champagne gla.s.ses were stacked high.
What Gu Qiqi needed to do was to open a huge bottle of champagne. Then, she would pour the first gla.s.s of champagne slowly from the top so that the entire champagne tower would be equally full.
With a bang—! Gu Qiqi opened the champagne cork and began to pour the wine elegantly.
Champagne and a beauty. The room was filled with the scent of wine and the beauty was filled in all her glory.
The reporters frantically took photos. The Gu Qiqi in the photo was too beautiful and elegant. There was even a hint of handsomeness.
Only the most n.o.ble person present could receive the honor of opening the champagne bottle. Gu Qiqi’s temperament was very fitting for it.
This scene quickly spread to live streaming platforms all over the Internet.
Not to mention becoming the next day’s headlines!!!
In contrast, Gu Xuexue’s cold, chaotic, and disheveled engagement ceremony didn’t even cause a ripple.
Of course, with the big news of Gu Qiqi winning the champions.h.i.+p, who would have the time to care about the shabby marriage of those two down-and-out wealthy families??
Other than leaving behind a trail of laughter and being mocked by a certain bold reporter along the way, Gu Xuexue did not have much exposure.
That night, Gu Qiqi returned happily.
On the way home, Chu Junmo’s call came late.
He had just finished his heart surgery. He couldn’t even get out of bed during the finals, let alone attend the celebration banquet. He definitely couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in it.
He couldn’t help but call to congratulate her. “Qiqi, you’re really beautiful tonight. I saw it on the live broadcast. The dress suits you very well. It’s so elegant and perfect… Congratulations on becoming the queen of the headlines!”
Gong Jue’s eyes turned cold when he saw Chu Junmo’s call.
When he heard Chu Junmo praise Gu Qiqi for being perfect, he snorted coldly. “That’s the dress I chose!”
However, after being praised by Chu Junmo for the beautiful dress, he had the urge to tear it apart immediately.
Gu Qiqi chuckled. “Thank you for your praise, Brother Chu. How’s your body? Are you recovering well? You have to tell the nurse to apply more of the medicine I brought you last time. This way, your wound will heal faster and there will be less sequelae…”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
In the next second, Chu Junmo replied faintly, “They were too rough. I was unwilling to let them touch me.”
