In Milan, today Avril has been in the spotlight. With a famous designer Lisa who is highly regarded by PW's top management and a young, handsome fiancé, she becomes a topic of conversation and shines like a pearl in Milan.

"Was my performance tonight good" Avril asked with a smile. After the fashion show, there was a cocktail party where Mo Chen attended as her male companion. People who knew Chief Designer Lisa all thought that Mo Chen was her fiancé. The way Avril and Mo Chen interacted also seemed like an ideal couple.

"Excellent," replied Mo Chen.

This is the truth; she looked beautiful and confident tonight, capturing everyone's attention in the room, even surpassing the charm of those models who震撼國際秀場的模特兒魅力也不如她，神秘又性感的首席設計師，如此美麗，又如此年輕。全場的焦點。

Avril invited Mo Chen to dance; he happily agreed. This was註定是她散發光芒的夜晚，他隻是陪襯，且甘願當這個陪襯，重逢後，他腦子一直處於興奮的狀態，很多問題也需要這樣舒緩的音樂好好地疏離一下，所以他不介意當艾薇兒的陪襯。a night for her to shine, and he was content to be the supporting role. Since their reunion, his mind had been in an excited state, and many issues needed to be calmly addressed with soothing music, so he didn't mind being Avril's accompaniment.

Avril's body was pressed against him; he could almost feel her softness and fragrance.

This felt utterly foreign to Mo Chen.

He interacted the most with two women of his age, Wu Shuang and Chu Chu, as well as Yun. He couldn't possibly have such intimate contact with these three women; even if there were any, he wouldn’t indulge in fantasies. Mo Chen felt that his body temperature was rising a bit. As an ordinary man, having someone's soft and fragrant body so close to him would naturally elicit some purely male reactions. Fortunately, he had exceptional self-control and no one could tell anything was amiss.

Avril sensed his tension; her female pride was immensely satisfied by this suddenly appearing elegant man who captured her heart. She couldn’t wait for him to propose dating her; she would gladly agree without hesitation.

She didn't want to pretend or say things that were insincere. She felt they should be together immediately, whether it meant engagement or a quick marriage — she was willing. Life is short and there must be times when one acts on impulse.

The thoughts running through Mo Chen's mind, however, were entirely different from Avril’s.

Everything that happened today was witnessed by Mo Chen. He watched her confidence, elegance, and poise from start to finish; this was an independent girl who was strong-willed and generous. She had all the qualities that every man dreams of having. From how many pairs of eyes were glued on Avril, he knew she was popular and desired for a romantic evening by numerous people — she was a goddess in men's eyes.

Despite her excellence, Mo Chen felt an odd sense of discord.

The baby from his memories wasn't this assertive girl. She was also talented; her insights about fashion design were unique and well-grounded. Even at her young age, she could analyze international brands with a series of pros and cons that made perfect sense. He enjoyed watching her radiant spirit and arrogant smile. When someone contradicted her views, she would humbly accept it. If she found your argument unreasonable, she'd proudly ignore you; if she thought your suggestion was reasonable, she’d enthusiastically praise him by calling him big brother.

Back then, she was arrogant yet adorable, incredibly cute.

The current Avril no longer had these traits. Had time washed away the baby from his memories

Mou Chen was somewhat puzzled, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. Over the years, he had been searching for someone from his past—someone who had shared a few months of her life with him as a simple and innocent baby.

But now that she has grown up, would he still like her when her personality is so different

The excitement after their reunion gradually subsided at this moment. After the fashion show, Mou Chen realized how much his impression of the girl differed from who she was today; her character had completely changed.

Avril was a woman he always admired—strong, independent, beautiful, charming, and capable. Such women would naturally receive respect and admiration from men. However, when it came to feelings, could he really be with Avril for life Was his impulsiveness now going to cause him regret

His impulsive actions were due to the fact that this was the girl from his first love, and he believed in fate when she appeared by his side. But most importantly, they had a child together. However, if one disregarded these factors, could there be an attraction between him and Avril simply based on her as a person Mou Chen wasn't quite sure because even he didn't know the answer.

The baby girl he liked was deeply rooted in his memory, unshakeable. As for this new baby, he couldn’t tell if they could ignite love.

He frowned, disliking his indecisiveness.

Since both of them already had a child together, perhaps it didn't matter to ponder over it anymore. Instead, maybe it would be better to let things unfold naturally; he genuinely admired Avril.

After the ball, when Avril and Mou Chen came out, they encountered a journalist who was more interested in their relationship. The reporter asked if they were an unmarried couple. Holding onto Mou Chen's arm affectionately, Avril smiled back and teasingly replied, "What do you think"

This ambiguous answer adds to the air of mystery, making the reporter very curious about whether they are indeed an unmarried couple. As a result, he asked several times, which annoyed Mo Chen.

Amy cleverly noticed Mo Chen's irritation and vaguely confirmed that they were an unmarried couple, dismissing the reporters.

She got into Mo Chen’s car and apologetically said, "Sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."

"You misunderstood. It’s nothing," Mo Chen said. As a mafia don, he hated being exposed under the spotlight the most; it made him extremely uncomfortable. If dating a famous designer meant constant exposure to the paparazzi, it would make him somewhat reluctant.

Mosai was an international superstar, yet tabloids never managed to snap pictures of his family unless they provided them themselves—Unsung had done so before, but Mo Yan and Mo Chen rarely did. Therefore, being in the spotlight made him very uncomfortable.

Amy apologized, and Mo Chen smiled, asking if she wanted to have a late-night snack.

Amy nodded in agreement, and they left the hotel together. Suddenly, Amy wanted to buy some milk tea from a shop by the roadside. The name of the store was fresh in Mo Chen's mind; Happy Day was Baby’s favorite milk tea shop.

Mo Chen parked his car on the side of the road while Amy got out and ran off to buy the milk tea. This store only sold one flavor, called "Happy," yet it had hundreds of branches all over the world in different cities.

Watching Amy’s figure, Mo Chen muttered to himself, "So you still like this place."anted to continue because after哄her to sleep, he had to take a cold shower, and that was truly torture in the winter.Chen Xueru fell silent. Tonight's Tang Shuwen was unlike any she had seen before—ge...
