C217 (1/2)
If she stayed here, An Ning would only feel more and more at peace. Lin City was only this big, and if she ran into Jiang Xiushan by chance, she would definitely break down. This kind of mental state was not good for children.
An Ning also understood what she was thinking, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her stomach. An Ning felt like she could even feel her child's heartbeat, maybe that was the connection between mother and son.
”Alright.”
Two days later, An Ning and Jiang Xianhan set out for F Nation.
”Hello everyone, this is the tenth of April, the venue for the finals of the BFA International Design Competition. Now, our finals results are out, who will be the first? ”Next, please announce the results.”
BFA could be said to be the most anticipated designer competition in the world right now. Not to mention winning the award, every contestant who came to the competition was a top designer in the world, and this time there was even Paris Fashion Week's designer Li Yang, who was one of the two champions. Everyone thought that the championship was already in his hands, but who would have thought that a 'dark horse' would appear out of nowhere to compete with him.
As the host finished speaking, the old man in the middle of the judges stand up, open the envelope in his hand and begin reading the list of winners from the bottom to the top.
After the last three announcements, only the first two remained. Now, everyone and the viewers in front of their televisions had their hearts in their mouth.
”Second place, Li Yang!”
When the old man's voice rang out, the crowd burst into an uproar. Both of his hands pressed down to indicate for silence, and the old man continued with his announcement.
”First place, An Ning!”
Because they had already expected this to happen, the stadium was no longer as noisy as it was when they won the championship. Instead, it was quiet. After a few sparse claps, the entire venue was filled with thunderous applause.
Ever since she had arrived in F Nation three years ago, she had been living here, occasionally drawing and designing paintings for other people to earn money for her daily expenses. This time, she had even participated in the design competition with the encouragement of hope, but she did not expect that she would be able to fight her way out of the competition, which had greatly boosted her reputation. Even if she did not win the championship today, everyone knew that the BFA Competition had produced a ”dark horse”, and her future was definitely limitless.
Standing on the stage, looking at the dazzling lights in front of her, as well as the great designers who had been admiring her ever since she had entered this industry, she looked at herself with a kind smile.
He took the trophy and announced the winner. Everything was going according to normal procedures. However, just as An Ning was about to step down from the stage, the host suddenly stopped her.
A light lit up at the edge of the stage. An Ning followed the sound and looked over. Xu Wang was standing in the middle of the light, holding a bunch of flowers as he slowly walked over. He had a feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't want to face it.
”An Ning, congratulations on winning the championship.”
An Ning smiled as she received the bouquet. However, Xu Wang suddenly knelt down on one knee and fished out a velvet box from her bosom. She opened it in front of An Ning, revealing a beautifully designed and unique diamond ring.
She was very grateful that Xu Wei had taken care of her all these years, but she had never thought of being together with Xu Wang. In fact, An Ning no longer thought about love anymore; she only hoped that she could do what she liked and raise her family every day.
An Ning didn't want her son to have any sort of relationship with that person, so she named him An Mutian. He was three years old this year and had just attended kindergarten. That was why An Ning had the time to participate in the design competition.
