Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  Seeing someone's stupid face, Ye Xuanmo was very satisfied. Who made him disdainful at that time and didn't even bother to take a glance at her?

  Ye Xuanmo sat in the car with great satisfaction, sitting closer to him, and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Ou Zong, have I sucked away your three souls and six spirits?"

  The faint scent of perfume emanating from her body made Oumu's throat constrict, and he coughed dryly several times before barely maintaining his usual composure. "What's with the getup? We're here to inspect the store, not participate in a beauty pageant!" His tone wasn't just one of disdain, but also had a hint of hoarseness in his low, subdued voice.

  "As a fashion designer, the clothes I design are not only to please others, but also to please myself!" Ye Xuanmo adjusted her clothes, "This is currently my most satisfying design."

  Ou Mu Xuan smiled calmly, "A woman's beauty is for the one she loves, Miss Ye dresses like this to please me?"

  "So you're admitting I'm very pretty?" Yu Xiang quickly retorted.

  Ou Mu Xuan nodded, her eyes scanning him up and down, "The face is very beautiful, the figure is good, just...". Her eyes fell on that slightly bulging little belly.

  Ye Juan immediately covered up, "...... I ...... I ate too much for breakfast!" Because today her family's darling made a particularly delicious breakfast, so she ate a little more.

  "Really?" with a very disdainful tone, yet expressing strong skepticism.

  "Of course!" As soon as breakfast was mentioned, Ye Xuanmo stuffed the thermos into his hands. "You must have been so excited to see me that you forgot to eat breakfast, right? Here, for you!"

  That expression, that tone, those actions, were clearly those of a queen bestowing favors on her subjects. However, considering she had carefully prepared breakfast for him, Ou Mu Xuan indicated he could accept it.

  "Did you make it yourself?" As soon as the lunchbox was opened, the aroma wafted out, making Oumu Xuan, who didn't have a habit of eating breakfast, suddenly feel empty in his stomach.

  "No!" Ye Xuanmo replied without hesitation.

  "Stubborn!" Ou Mu Xuan said softly while looking at breakfast, "Is there anyone else in your household? If it's a part-time worker or a nanny, why would I see you personally taking out the trash this morning?"

  "I have..." I have an omnipotent son, this sentence was about to come out when Ye Xuan's rationality immediately returned and was forcibly stopped.

  Luckily, I almost let the cat out of the bag. If that guy finds out it's his kind, he'll definitely stop at nothing to get her back. No way, absolutely can't let him know about their past.

  "What's with you?" Ou Mu Xuan took a bite of the scrambled eggs, fragrant and not greasy. He liked this flavor after just one bite. Dead girl, looking like she owns the world, but her culinary skills are actually quite good.

  "Is it delicious?" Ye Xuan asked immediately changing the subject.

  "Not bad!" Oumu Xuan said after taking a bite of ham, "Mmm, delicious!"

  Ou Mu Xuan seemed to have never had such a delicious breakfast, it was tasty and had a homey flavor, very warm and cozy, as if it was carefully prepared for him. Although the rice was cold, Ou Mu Xuan ate until his whole body felt warm and fuzzy, if he could eat such a delicious breakfast every day in the future...

  He didn't dare to hope and had never thought that he would have a warm home in the future, although this was what he once yearned for, but his heart could no longer bear any disappointment.

  After finishing eating, Ou Mu Xuan elegantly wiped his mouth, "Miss Ye, your culinary skills are quite good."

  Ye Xuanmo was quite arrogant, "Of course it is!"

  "But... "Ou Mu Xuan looked at her profile and slightly furrowed his brow, "Did we know each other before?"

  ...In an instant, the words stopped Ye Xuan's arrogant momentum, she...she wouldn't recognize her, would she? Don't be ridiculous, how could that be possible? The former Ye Xuan and the current Ye Xuan were completely different people, and they had only met once six years ago when she was drunk.

  Although they had that one night, she left in the morning and nothing special happened between them. With Ou Mu Xuan being so busy and meeting countless people every day, he should have already forgotten what she looks like, right?

  Even if she recognizes it, what's the point? She will never admit it!

  "Is this question that difficult to answer?" Oumu Xuan looked at her expression, what was going on in this woman's mind.

  Yexuan Mo returned to her senses and smiled, "Sorry, I was just thinking about some clothing matching issues."

  "You..." Ou Mu Xuan suddenly flared up in anger. This dead girl, were his words so boring? Boring to the point of making her mind wander?

  Ou Mu Xuan turned his head, looking at the scenery outside that was constantly moving backward, no longer paying attention to this detestable dead girl. Other women would be eager for him to say a few more words to them, but she actually responded to his words with indifference?

  Eu's women's clothing stores are all in good locations, almost all of them are on bustling streets, the most lively squares, and the pedestrian streets with the densest customer flow, only...

  Ye Juanmo walked around in every store, the clothes designed inside...

  It's not that there's no taste, it's just that the style is obviously very common, but it's labeled with a noble price, and the style has almost no positioning, nor is it targeted at any particular group of people.

  Ye Xuan is so blind, with Ou Mu Xuan being such an excellent and outstanding manager, even if he didn't want to give up on the women's clothing industry, hiring some good designers wouldn't have resulted in this situation.

  This is a pedestrian street, so vehicles are prohibited from passing through. Therefore, Ou Mu Xuan and Ye Qian Mu got off the car and walked to the next store to take a look.

  The weather is scorching hot, and on the pedestrian street where all the women are holding sun umbrellas and still feel like they're getting sunburned, Ye Xuanmo doesn't even wear sunglasses, and it's really rare to see a woman exposing herself to the sunlight like this.

  A stunning beauty paired with a perfect handsome guy, wherever they go, it's a breathtaking view.

  Ye Xuan drank fruit juice, ignoring the eyes of people around her, while Ou Mu Xi was even more thoroughly indifferent.

  "We've been to so many stores, what's your impression?" Yang Guang asked with squinting eyes under the overly bright sunlight.

  "Bad!" Ye Xuan spat out the juice in her mouth and gave Ou Mu Xuan a single word.

  Ou Mu Xun suppressed her anger and said, "These few houses are relatively better."

  "Ah?" Ye Xuan stopped in her tracks, looking at Ou Mu Xuan in shock. "Such a poor clothing store, why don't you ever manage it?" Not managing was one thing, but every year they would still spend such a large sum of money on them!

  "Years ago, I wanted to cancel the women's wear department, but at that time it was Lo's pillar industry and some brands had a certain influence in Asia. However, now it has completely declined and is no longer viable. It's just that the company's board of directors, especially my father, seem to be nostalgic for this industry, so they insist on keeping it." At this point, Ou Mu Xuan also felt helpless.

  "If you want to keep it, why don't you hire some more famous designers?" Yu Xuan said, even more puzzled. "You Ous, aren't you not short of funds!"

  "They were hired, but those with talent didn't last long, and those who lasted didn't have real ability!" In fact, Ou Mu-xuan was very clear that many of the more well-known designers had been forced out by Mo Han-xin or Mo Ling-he's machinations. Ou Lei-feng didn't care, so Ou Mu-xuan just turned a blind eye.

  "Why is it like this?"

  "Because..."

  "Ada!" A woman's voice abruptly cut in at this moment, with a smooth French accent!

  Ye Qian's eyes widened, mechanically lifting her head, and when she saw the stunning figure walking towards her from afar, her mind went blank in an instant. Ada, Lawrence's bar, steel pipe dancer, ruthless whipping...

  Past events swarmed in, Ye Xuan's eyes widened in horror!
