Chapter 72: Always – #JiangTheFilmEmperorAndHisLittleWife#
In January, “Proud Princess” made its way into the Venice Film Festival candidates thanks to its selection in the Chinese region, receiving unprecedented high scores for a foreign film in the main competition. The judges highly praised the director’s control over the overall story’s pacing and the actors’ performances.
When Qu Heng heard that “Proud Princess” would be screened as the opening film at the festival, he rarely got drunk that night—his intoxication was filled with satisfaction and joy.
The first snowfall of winter finally arrived before the Lunar New Year’s Eve in early February, with snowflakes fluttering down and blanketing the city, covering the gentle night with a layer of shimmering white.
On the day of the first snowfall, Jiang Qi and Zhi Qi went to the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate, officially becoming a pair of “young couples”—the legal kind.
The young girl had become part of the married group before graduating from university, momentarily dazed as she stared at the bright red marriage certificate.
“Jiang Qi, are we really married now?” Zhi Qi looked at the photo on the marriage certificate, where she and Jiang Qi were leaning together in white shirts, unable to help but smile. “It feels so unreal.”
Jiang Qi felt the same way.
Convincing Zhi Minglin and Mei Ran, marrying Zhi Qi… every aspect of this was “unbelievable” for Jiang Qi, almost like a dream.
It felt as if he had fallen into a boundless beautiful dream, surrounded by sweet cotton candy, soft and fluffy to the touch.
