Chapter 40
When the car arrived at the scene, Xiao Tian opened the car door.
She hurriedly nudged Fang Mo’er who was sleeping. “Sister, it’s time to prepare.”
Fang Mo’er stretched her body, suddenly feeling extremely tired.
However, she still stepped out of the car.
She headed for the dressing room.
Very quickly, Fang Mo’er, who was wearing a veil, sat quietly under the ministrations of the stylists.
Somehow, she felt a little sleepy.
She could not help but yawn, and soon fell asleep again.
Seeing that Fang Mo’er wasn’t in the right state, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but nudge Fang Mo’er again. “Sister, it’s almost our turn. Why don’t you seem to be in the right state today?”
Fang Mo’er squinted her eyes and realized that the stylists had already left.
Only she and Xiao Tian were left in the dressing room.
“How long have I been asleep?” Fang Mo’er also realized that she did not seem to have much energy and struggled to keep her eyelids open.
Xiao Tian hurriedly said, “You’ve already slept for an hour. Sister, are you alright?”
Xiao Tian could tell that Fang Mo’er was in a bad state.
Just then, a staff member came in through the door. “The performance is about to begin.”
The choral theme song performance would be the opening for this event.
After that, the main creators of the TV series would be interviewed live.
“Help me up,” Fang Mo’er said weakly.
Xiao Tian was shocked and quickly moved forward.
“Let’s go,” Fang Mo’er said.
“But you’re now…” Xiao Tian said worriedly, “How are you going to go on stage in your current state?”
“It’s too late, let’s go on stage first.” Fang Mo’er forced herself to stay alert.
She walked out next to Xiao Tian.
The fingers on her palm exerted force as she dug her sharp nails deep into the palm of her hands, forcing herself to wake up.
Just as she was about to leave the dressing room, a fair and clean-cut man suddenly entered the room.
Lang Qi’s eyes lit up when he saw the Veiled Queen. “Veiled Queen, I’m Lang Qi, do you remember me? We chatted before. Let’s have a meal together after the event.”
He looked at Fang Mo’er curiously.
However, the Veiled Queen in front of him did not react at all.
Fang Mo’er was focused on fighting her drowiness. She could not care about making small talk at the moment.
Lang Qi had not expected the Veiled Queen to be so cold. He could not help but rub his chin in disappointment.
He quickly stepped aside and let them out.
Xiao Tian nervously said to Lang Qi, “I’m sorry, Sister is not feeling well now.”
“Wait a moment.” Lang Qi suddenly grabbed the Veiled Queen’s hand. Her hands were fair and delicate. It was as if even a light touch could leave a mark.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lang Qi quickly asked.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Tian was sweating profusely and that something was indeed not right with the Veiled Queen.
“Sleeping pills.” Fang Mo’er spat out a few words softly.
Her voice did not have much strength.
In such a state, how could she sing well?
However, Lang Qi had already understood. “It’s better not to go on stage like this. Isn’t there another singer? Just let her sing.”
Fang Mo’er shook her head and continued walking forward. She would not let Bai Rong’s plan succeed.
Seeing that she was determined to go on stage, Lang Qi took another step forward. “Don’t go out there yet.”
..
A few minutes later.
As Fang Mo’er walked out of the dressing room, the host outside was already saying, “First, please listen to the theme song of the drama…”
Bai Rong was already waiting at the entrance to the stage.
Hearing that, she raised her eyebrows. Fang Mo’er was not able to come today.
Today’s main event would be hers.
“Next, let’s welcome the Veiled Queen and Bai Rong to sing ‘Don’t Hurt Me Again’.”
The applause from the audience was thunderous.
Bai Rong was about to step onto the stage when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her.
“Sister, it’s your turn.” It was Xiao Tian’s voice.
Bai Rong turned around in disbelief and saw the assistant helping Fang Mo’er slowly walk over.
Behind her, Lang Qi had a worried expression on his face.
“If you can’t hold on, then don’t force yourself,” Lang Qi whispered into Fang Mo’er’s ear.
Fang Mo’er nodded.
She then walked out onto the stage decisively.
Bai Rong was stunned for a moment before she followed Fang Mo’er onto the stage.
She stared at Fang Mo’er’s figure.
Her assistant had checked to make sure that Fang Mo’er had eaten all the pastries that had been drugged with sleeping pills.
How could she still be standing?
As expected, she then realized that Fang Mo’er’s footsteps were a little unsteady.
Bai Rong’s heart calmed down a little when she saw this.
It seemed as if she was just trying to hold on.
This was good too.
It would be even more interesting for Fang Mo’er to be embarrassed on stage.
On the stage, Fang Mo’er slowly wandered over to the standing microphone.
She held onto the microphone tightly, struggling to remain standing.
Bai Rong, on the other hand, smiled calmly.
All of a sudden, all the attention was on Bai Rong.
It was as if Fang Mo’er’s aura had been overshadowed..
