The Omega's Vow: Never Marry a Mama's Boy Alpha - Chapter 64

The awards ceremony had reached its midpoint, and it was time for an intermission. Live broadcasts and reruns would now air sponsor advertisements. Seizing the opportunity as Han Lu beside her stood up and left, Xu Wei quickly moved to sit next to Gu Lin, greeting her with a radiant smile.

“It’s been a while, Director Lin.”

Xu Wei was dressed in a sky-blue gown with lotus-leaf sleeves and lace-trimmed edges, giving her an ethereal, fairy-like appearance. Paired with her sparkling eyeshadow and teardrop crystals at the corners of her eyes, she looked like a little fairy straight out of a fairy tale.

“Has it been that long?” Gu Lin glanced up at her, slightly puzzled. Wasn’t it just a few months? They weren’t exactly close friends, and for working adults, not seeing each other for a few months was perfectly normal.

Xu Wei’s smile stiffened, and she clenched her hands on her knees.

Director Lin was still as straightforward and oblivious as ever. Never mind, I’ll endure it, I’ll endure it.

“Hehe, maybe it just feels like a long time to me.”

“Director Lin, you look so beautiful today, even more stunning than many actors.”

Xu Wei persisted in trying to keep the conversation going, but Gu Lin simply didn’t give her the chance.

“Thank you.”

Gu Lin responded politely but coldly to the compliment, without the slightest intention of returning the flattery.

Xu Wei had been waiting for that. She thought that, even out of politeness, Director Lin would at least say she looked beautiful too, and then she could follow up by asking if she liked it. But all she got were two words, with no further elaboration.

Once again, the little fairy experienced the same fruitless frustration she had felt months ago wronged, resentful, and even tempted to bite her handkerchief in vexation.

Why is she so utterly clueless?!

No wonder she’s single!

If you’d just say one more word, we could have a story!

Out of the corner of her eye, Xu Wei puffed up her cheeks like an angry pufferfish, her lips pouted so much they could hang an oil bottle, a comical sight. The young woman had little guile, wearing her emotions plainly on her face, which was part of her charm.

Wen Yan curved her lips into a faint smile and subtly averted her gaze, pretending nothing had happened. The fact that her girlfriend was being hit on by another female omega? She wasn’t bothered by it at all.

Still, she felt quite satisfied inside. As expected, her alpha had eyes only for her and showed no interest in anyone else.

She’d reward her when they got home later.

The intermission soon ended, and the two charismatic hosts returned to the stage to continue the awards ceremony.

Although Gu Lin had been nominated for Best New Director and Best Cinematography, she ultimately didn’t win, ending up as an unfortunate runner-up.

It wasn’t entirely unexpected. The directing world was no less complex than the entertainment industry, with many intricate layers and factors influencing who ultimately took home the awards. Gu Lin hadn’t held high hopes of winning anyway Rivalry, to her, was merely a practice project.

But with the person she loved by her side, Gu Lin couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander. If she had won the award, would she have been happy for her?

Would she have thought the person she loved was exceptionally talented and remarkable?

Would she have felt proud of her?

Gu Lin maintained a composed expression as she applauded for the other directors who had won awards, all cameras now focused on the stage. Wen Yan glanced around and quietly took Gu Lin’s hand.

Alpha remained as composed as ever, yet her hand firmly returned Wen Yan’s grasp with steady grace. Even if she hadn’t won the award, she maintained that elegant and serene demeanor.

“In my heart, you’ll always be the best.”

Wen Yan tilted her head and whispered these words near Gu Lin’s ear. It wasn’t meant as consolation, but rather the most genuine thought in Wen Yan’s heart this was the truth. She knew exactly how Gu Lin conducted herself on set, understood her strict standards for camera work, and recognized that her taste in scripts far surpassed this increasingly youth-oriented market.

Her girlfriend would become an outstanding director, with every film destined to be a masterpiece recorded in cinematic history.

Of this, Wen Yan held unwavering belief.

Hearing Wen Yan’s words, Gu Lin lowered her head with a soft laugh before raising her eyes to continue watching the stage ahead.

So far, the “Rivalry” production team hadn’t won a single award, with only a few categories remaining. If even Wen Yan returned empty-handed, it would be a slight blow to the entire crew’s morale.

Before coming, Jin Yin had mentioned that this award would ultimately go to either her or another male omega, though the final decision remained uncertain meaning Wen Yan had a fifty percent chance of winning this Best Newcomer award.

Sure enough, the massive electronic screen displayed both her name and that of a fair-skinned young male actor. Perhaps because he was an omega, his eyes carried a certain captivating charm, like invisible hooks that could ensnare one’s soul.

An inexplicable competitive spirit rose within Wen Yan as if losing to this male omega would mean her beauty had been bested by his.

It felt like, as a 27-year-old sophisticated woman, she might actually lose to some barely-grown boy? If such a thing really happened, it would seriously damage her confidence as a beautiful woman.

She began to feel nervous, her heartbeat quickening, palms growing slightly damp.

Gu Lin noticed, gently shaking their joined hands before leaning closer to whisper to Wen Yan.

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely you.”

Wen Yan instinctively turned to look at her, wanting to ask why. But at that moment Gu Lin released her hand, signaling with her eyes that someone was approaching.

It was that camera operator who always seemed to focus on her, though this time he handed her a microphone, the host wanted to conduct a brief interview before announcing the results.

The beauty with her almond-shaped face and peach-blossom cheeks, elegant and graceful, caused an audible stir from the audience the moment she appeared on the big screen.

“Haha, it seems we’re not the only ones, the live audience is also stunned by Wen Yan’s beauty.”

“As a nominee for this year’s Spring Breeze Award’s Best Newcomer, does Wen Yan have anything you’d like to share with everyone?”

Wen Yan took the microphone, offering a gentle smile to the camera. “I’d like to thank my fans for their support, and for cheering me on in such cold weather.”

“I’m deeply moved.”

Panda Sister in the audience, who had been happily recording the moment, burst into tears upon hearing these words. Sob, she felt so lucky to have fallen for Yan Bao! All her efforts had been noticed, what kind of celestial idol was this?!

If not for the formal setting, Panda Sister would have cried out loudly:

Yan Yan! You’re the fucking best!

This big sister definitely didn’t love the wrong person!

But it didn’t matter—she had other ways to express herself. Panda Sister immediately took out her phone, not even bothering to wipe away her tears. It was her friend who had accompanied her that gently wiped the tear stains from her face. She opened Weibo and directly posted the video she had just recorded, accompanied by an emotional caption.

For you, everything is worth it. @WenYan_NoMoreArt

Meanwhile, on stage, the interview continued.

“Wow, Wen Yan really cares about her fans! So, for this Best Newcomer Award, who do you think will ultimately take it home?”

This kind of question wasn’t meant to be tricky it was just a common tactic at award ceremonies to stir up excitement and generate buzz. The male omega competitor already seemed a bit tense, the smile on his face slightly stiff.

But Wen Yan decided not to answer directly. No matter what she said, someone would find fault with it. She wasn’t about to step into that muddy water.

“As for that, I think Actress Su should know before I do.”

Wen Yan deftly redirected the question. The presenter for the Best Newcomer Award was the renowned actress Su Suxin, and the results were already in her hands.

When mentioned, Actress Su smiled, not minding being used as a shield by Wen Yan. The director happened to give her a close-up shot at that moment.

After interviewing the other nominees, the host left the stage to Su Suxin alone. Standing before the standing microphone, she smiled gracefully.

“And the winner of the 46th Spring Breeze Best Newcomer Award is—”

She opened the envelope, saw the name inside, and a flicker of amusement crossed her eyes.

“The female lead from the film Rivalry.”

“Wen Yan, Miss Wen!”

Thunderous applause erupted. Amid the enthusiastic clapping, Wen Yan rose to her feet, meeting the admiring gazes of the audience with a gentle smile as she slowly made her way to the stage.

“Wen Yan played the role of Yi Feng in the movie Rivalry. Despite being a newcomer, her acting skills astonished the judges, perfectly capturing Yi Feng’s unwavering devotion and resilience. Congratulations to Wen Yan for winning the 46th Spring Breeze Best Newcomer Award. We hope to see more outstanding works from you in the future.”

After delivering her remarks, Su Suxin handed the weighty trophy to Wen Yan. The moment was captured by the media on-site, who immediately sent the photos to their editors to publish the news right away.

They already had the headline ready, “Debut as Best Newcomer, Presented by Actress Su Suxin, Wen Yan’s Future Looks Bright!”

Envious?

No use envying!

Even Su Suxin’s fans were a bit stunned by this turn of events, especially the fan account that had planned to criticize Wen Yan. They had already drafted their post, but now Wen Yan had won the award, and the presenter was none other than their own idol. How could they possibly attack her now? If they tried, random netizens would likely comment:

“Your idol presented the award to Wen Yan, and yet you fans are fighting? Impressive.”

Forget it, forget it. Harmony brings wealth. It’s better to avoid trouble take a step back and the world becomes wider. Making an enemy is worse than making a friend.

Meanwhile, Wen Yan stood on stage, facing countless eyes and cameras, ready to deliver her acceptance speech.

“I am incredibly happy to receive the Spring Breeze Best Newcomer Award for my role as Yi Feng. This character is the first female lead I’ve ever played in my life so far.”

In her previous life, she entered the entertainment industry at the age of 20. After struggling for seven years, she was still stuck in the lower tiers, where even landing a supporting role as the third female lead felt like an unattainable dream for Wen Yan.

Wen Yan tightened her grip on the microphone, her throat feeling somewhat constricted.

Oh no, it seemed she was struggling to keep her emotions in check.

“I am deeply grateful to Director Lin Ye for selecting me and giving me this opportunity.”

That night, the brief encounter with Gu Lin had fundamentally altered Wen Yan’s fate. It was Gu Lin who provided her with a platform to fully showcase her talents, who propelled her into the spotlight, allowing her to finally become the center of attention and shine unreservedly.

It was her Gu Lin her girlfriend, her fiancée.

Her alpha.

The emotions she usually suppressed surged like a Spanish bull charging at a red cloth, fierce and unstoppable, at this critical moment. The sting in her nose and the heat in her eyes filled Wen Yan with tension and a sense of crisis. She didn’t want to cry in front of so many people, nor did she want to shed tears over a small newcomer award.

Her tears were precious, reserved only for the one she loved.

So, Wen Yan paused, took a deep breath, and tried hard to steady her emotions.

“I also want to thank my fans who have always supported me, who stood by me unwaveringly amidst all the slander and lies, and continued to believe in and love me.”

“Thank you all. I will prove with my actions that you did not place your affection in the wrong person.”

“I am Wen Yan. Thank you, everyone!”
