Without the finale, the "morning glow" was just like a piece of loose sand, completely lacking in power.

"Follow me in and take a look at your designs." Chen Keli opened the frosted glass door with Zhang Xiao Xiao, and the easel in the middle completely stunned Zhang Xiao Xiao.

In the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, when she was at her most flourishing, she stunned the entire dynasty. She was exquisite in every aspect, dignified in every aspect, seductive in every aspect, and flirting in every aspect. She enchanted countless men, drove countless women crazy, and yet she remained aloof and aloof in her most flourishing place.

This was the complete opposite of what she had initially thought, yet it was so relevant at the same time.

The color had changed, the design had changed. Zhang Xiao Xiao couldn't even find the point where the clothes matched his own design, but for some reason, he felt hungry. The perfect fit had hit the heartstrings.

"Beautiful!" She couldn't help but sigh and feel deeply guilty for her previous thoughts.

In comparison, hers wasn't much of a design at all. At most, it was an attempt to make some progress.

"Can I be the center of attention?" Chen Keli laughed a little complacently.

Initially, if it wasn't for the inspiration he got from the little girl, he really wanted to let this dress go on stage in the most decisive and proud manner.

Right now, he was glad that he did not act impulsively, so that his masterpiece would not be stolen.

"Of course, senior. This is your plan. There are no traces of me to be found." Zhang Xiao Xiao sighed lightly, but the corner of his mouth revealed a loyal smile.

"No, your design contains the deepest secrets, as well as the most important parts of the gown. Look at this." Chen Keli pointed to the red silk dress he wore, and the fine Chinese buttons on his shoulder. His eyes were blazing red along with the painting.

Zhang Xiao Xiao knew that she still had a lot to learn.

"Senior, you don't need to say it anymore. I know that what I am offering you is just an opportunity for you to make this design. You are the well-deserved author, so I will not take the bank card. But you can teach me more in the future!" Zhang Xiao Xiao smiled slyly.

Chen Keli gave a knowing smile as a glint flashed in his eyes, before he put the design aside and ignored it.

In any case, no matter what the little girl said, he would still have the power to decide when the time came, right?

As long as she agreed to let the design be made known to the world.

"Then I'll go find someone to trim it. Can you tell me if anyone came to look for you when we were in the studio?" Chen Keli pulled Zhang Xiao Xiao out and into his own office.

That's too much, Zhang Xiao Xiao could not hold back his laughter.

"Senior, could it be that you forgot that the photo of the two of us had caused a huge ruckus in our circle of friends?" And from that time onwards, Chen Keli had specially given her a key, and would lock up the painting studio whenever she went in or out, and at that time, it was indeed true that no one had entered other than them.

Chen Keli did not speak anymore, his eyebrows knitted together. He was not afraid of the plan being leaked, but he was more afraid of the enemies that were hiding.

He kept all the designs in the safe when he got them back, and even the computer he used for minor modifications had a password. The door to the office was not easily accessible to others. If there really was a problem with the studio, that person could not have just stolen a set of designs. Clearly, the "Heart of Fire" had been seen by someone by chance.

Because of Chen Keli's contemplation, the office immediately became depressed. It was the first time Zhang Xiao Xiao had seen senior's pressure that belonged solely to someone with a high position, and he couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart.

No matter how funny he was in private, how calm and aloof he seemed on the surface, as a studio manager, the convincing temperament that naturally came out from him would never change.

Zhang Xiao Xiao could not help but contemplate as a blurry figure flashed through his mind.

Impossible!

She subconsciously cried out in alarm, but that period of time was obviously the critical time for her senior to become the "Heart's Fire"!

"What's wrong?" Chen Keli frowned, he did not have any leads and could only hand it over to the useless police, and once this matter was handed over to the police, it would be equivalent to him never having the chance to turn the case around.

"I'm fine." Zhang Xiao Xiao let out a breath in panic, and deliberately lowered her eyes to cover the panic at the bottom of her heart. She turned around in a hurry, and her heart felt like it was being roasted in a hot pot.

It couldn't be her, how could it be her!

She wanted to ask before then, to find out what was going on.

A hand steadily grabbed her arm, and a warm sensation hit her, but Zhang Xiao Xiao looked as if she had been scalded, and hastily dodged away.

"You have a clue?" It seemed to be a question, but every word was certain. Chen Keli stared fixedly at the girl in front of her, but because she was in a state of panic, her face revealed tiny beads of perspiration.

Chen Keli was even more sure now, he slowed down his tone and gently held Zhang Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

If it's someone important to you, then you should trust her not to do anything against the law. Perhaps we can get the news from her and retreat ten thousand steps back, even if it was really her who did it, I won't pursue the responsibility. I just want to know, who should I guard against in the future.

Her beautiful yet gentle male voice allowed Zhang Xiao Xiao to slowly calm down, and her flustered heart gradually calmed down. She looked at the smooth lines of Chen Keli's lower jaw, and nodded silently.

Gu Wan, don't let me down.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was even more depressing than when they left. Chen Keli quietly glanced at the cat-like girl curled up on the passenger seat, a trace of heartache flashed past his eyes.

Zhang Xiao Xiao stared at the scenery that was constantly retreating outside of the window, as he repeated the scene from that day again and again in his mind.

Gu Wan.

It was a day in mid-October. After Chen Keli covered the painting with the curtain and left, because it was too breathtaking, she quietly opened it to take a look.

Just that one glance had allowed her to truly witness Chen Keli's capabilities as an independent designer, and had also allowed her to clearly see just how much of a path she was taking to succeed.

It was a red dress.
