Chapter 276 Surprise
Lin Ling nudged Shen Nian and pulled her to the edge of the stage. Shen Nian's mind hadn't quite registered what was happening; her feet felt light as she instinctively walked forward, and she didn't even know how she got onto the stage.
The principal smiled kindly at the five people on the stage, his outstanding students.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The principal made a gesture, and the audience quieted down. He then began to speak into the microphone, "Today, the guest who is presenting our outstanding graduation certificates is very special. He is also a student from our University A. Hahaha, our University A has a century-long history and has produced many outstanding talents." The principal became quite proud as he spoke.
"Today's award presenter is Mr. Mo Ze, the president of our JK Group. Please welcome him to the stage."
The presidents of JK Group are all graduates of University A, a source of great pride for the university. After making their fortunes, they generously funded the university's research and development, renovations, and construction of teaching buildings, as well as establishing scholarships. JK Group has become University A's largest sponsor.
When there are large-scale school events, the company will receive an invitation from the school anyway, and several people will take turns to report for duty.
As the alumni who have already graduated know, A University has always invited JK Group to participate in its graduation ceremony. However, who will actually attend is unknown until the person is on stage on the last day.
As soon as the principal finished speaking, a tall, well-tailored man in a high-end bespoke suit emerged from the darkness on the west side of the auditorium.
It was Moze.
His appearance caused quite a stir.
Shen Nian followed everyone's gaze to the people below the stage, and was even more stunned!
Yesterday, when she left home to return to school, it was still the older man who drove her to University A. He didn't reveal at all that he would be attending her graduation ceremony, or even being the award presenter for outstanding graduates.
So, when did the uncle arrive? Was he there the whole time?
Shen Nian's mind went from a blank to a string of question marks.
what's the situation?
She stared blankly as Mo Ze strode confidently onto the stage, his long legs and custom-made leather shoes landing on the steps beside the stage. The spotlight shone on him, making him appear like a prince walking on light, drawing everyone's attention.
Those who had just been captivated by the outstanding graduate representative's speech immediately switched sides and fell in love with the mature and stable older man.
After all, the handsome guy who appeared earlier only attracted the girls present, while Moze's appearance captivated the entire audience, appealing to men, women, young and old alike.
Once Mo Ze was on stage, the principal handed the conversation over to him, saying, "Then please say a few words to me, Mr. Mo."
Amid applause, Moze took the microphone, nodded and smiled politely at the principal, and then turned slightly to look at the students below the stage.
The smile that played at the corners of his lips once again made the audience scream.
May everyone's future path be like the stars, shining brightly no matter how far you go, illuminating the way forward.
He paused for a moment and then added, "JK Group welcomes everyone."
The principal led the applause. Shen Nian stood on the stage, her gaze fixed on Mo Ze. A soft feeling welled up in her heart, a sweet sensation spreading through her veins.
That outstanding man is her husband.
After Mo Ze finished his brief speech, background music started playing, and a row of ushers in cheongsams came up on stage carrying certificates. The principal, along with the vice principal and Mo Ze, a total of five people, presented award certificates to five outstanding graduates.
Shen Nian didn't know if the seating order was pre-arranged, but she saw Mo Ze deliberately walking at the back, since he was the one standing in front of her now.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the person in front of her who was smiling gently at her, her surprise and joy still lingering.
The surprise of receiving the Outstanding Graduate award, and the surprise that the award presenter was Mo Ze, combined with the double surprise, made her feel like she was floating on air.
Each award presenter received the certificate from the ushers and solemnly handed it to the winning student.
Everyone seized the opportunity to shake hands with the principal and vice-principal.
Mo Ze handed Shen Nian the certificate with both hands, then leaned forward slightly and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Congratulations, my wife."
Congratulations on your graduation and your award!
Shen Nian bit her lip to hold back the urge to cry. Yes, her surprise turned into emotion, and her eyes welled up with tears.
How could he have kept it from her so well, not telling her at all that he would be coming to present the award?
Luckily I put on makeup this morning, so I had to hold back my tears, otherwise my makeup would have been ruined.
Now, standing next to the older man, she shouldn't look bad, right?
Can you even tell with light makeup? I should have worn heavier makeup...
Shen Nian stood on the stage, looking at the sea of people below. Lin Ling and Chen Jia waved to her, but she didn't react. Her mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
During the group photo session, everyone stood in a row, looking at the photographer.
Mo Ze secretly took Shen Nian's middle finger from behind. This time, Shen Nian did not resist. Instead, she was quite bold and grabbed Mo Ze's big hand in return.
She wanted to preserve this precious, unique moment, not only in her memory but also in photographs.
That way, when they look at the photos and recall this day, it will always be a sweet memory.
After the group photo session, the ceremony was drawing to a close. There would be a performance in the afternoon, and we could leave the auditorium in the morning.
Everyone walked off the stage one by one from the left.
Shen Nian and Mo Ze were standing on the far right, so Mo Ze walked last. Shen Nian followed everyone slowly forward. She wanted to wait for Mo Ze, so she walked very slowly. She only walked to the middle of the stage after everyone in front of her had left the stage.
Subconsciously, she turned to look at Mo Ze, wondering why he was walking so slowly today and why he hadn't come over yet.
She turned around and saw Moze stop about a meter away.
Shen Nian didn't know why Mo Ze had suddenly stopped. She thought something had happened and wanted to call him, but then she realized they were still standing on the stage. Under everyone's gaze, she was too embarrassed to turn around and pull him away.
Then, she stopped and stood still.
She had just stopped when someone behind her called out to her.
"Nian Nian~"
Upon hearing Mo Ze's voice, Shen Nian didn't have time to think too much and immediately turned to look at Mo Ze.
The next second, she saw the person standing in front of her kneeling on one knee, taking a box out of his pocket, holding the box with both hands, and raising it in front of her.
Lin Ling appeared out of nowhere, magically producing a veil in her hand. She rushed onto the stage and pinned the veil to Shen Nian's graduation cap.
Surprisingly, it looks very harmonious and romantic...
