Chapter 497 - You look more beautiful

As they went o his car and drove off, Lin Ye kept stealing glances at her. 

Yun Xuan finally realized it and felt strange. "Why are you stealing glances at me?"

"You look more beautiful." He thoughtlessly exposed his true thought. 

Yun Xuan gave him a sidelong glance. This was the first, and most probably the only person who thought she was more beautiful than Wan Jia. How was it even possible? 

Lin Ye did not care much about her face and simply loved her for who she was. That explained why he found her more beautiful than everyone else no matter how he looked at it. No woman could rival her, not even extraordinary beauties of Wan Jia's variety. 

If it was only about her face, wouldn't he have fallen in love with Wan Jia whose look was natural? 

If it was only about looks, the flame he had for her would dim now since she had her original look back. However, nothing changed and it proved just how little he cared about her outward look. 

With Lin Ye stealing glances at her when she was not looking, the pair finally arrived at the venue of the Annual Designer Awards. 

The first person Lin Ye saw when they arrived was his anxious boss. 

He got out of the car and helped Yun Xuan out even in such a situation.

"You are finally here. I thought you ran off." Wan Jia looked unhappy. 

"Sorry boss, I should have informed you of my whereabouts." He had driven rather slowly just to spend a little more time with her and made his boss worried. 

Wan Jia was no longer listening to him. The woman beside him... why did she look so familiar? 

That was not the point here. 

This Lin Ye... Had he not devoted his life to Yun Xuan? Within just a few months, he was seeing another woman? Just because she had blond hair and blue eyes? 

Yun Xuan saw Wan Jia's unfriendly look and cowered a little. Jeez! That glare was almost comparable to Lu Aotian's. 

Still, she did not lose out to her. "Hello CEO Wan. I hope you do not mind that Lin Ye invited me." 

Wan Jia held her mouth. That voice was... "Yun Xuan?" 

No wonder she felt this woman was familiar. It was Yun Xuan's look before her cosmetic surgery. She had had another one to restore her old look? 

Wan Jia had only seen this face on business magazines when she was a teenager. 

"I don't mind your presence." 

Yun Xuan was happy. At least Wan Jia did not hate her so much as to want to kick her out. 

"Lin Ye, when was the last time you saw my mother?" 

Lin Ye racked his brains. Xia Rou? "I saw her when we had all dressed up. After that, I left to pick boss up." 

Wan Jia instructed him to go in first and continued the search. 

"Boss, let's go in first."  He said and led Yun Xuan away. 

He was finding it awkward to address her this way. However, she had not said anything for him to drop the formality so he could only bite his tongue and call her boss while feeling extremely wronged.

....

Wan Jia tried to call Xia Rou again. Her phone had been turned off. Lin Lihua had already arrived and did not know where she was either. She was helping her try to find her too. 

What Wan Jia found strange was that Lu Aotian was missing as well and so was Lu Shaoting. 

Knowing her husband, he must have taken advantage of the fact that she was busy to slip away. He would be back before she found out. 

In actual fact, she had only found out because he had accidentally dropped his phone and she had found it chiming with an incoming call. 

Those three, what exactly were they up to? Was it related to some  of the things she did not know, for example why Lu Aotian was still keeping Yun Jifeng, or what exactly Xia Rou was doing in MAX? 

Although she knew that Xia Rou would never hurt her, she did not believe any of that "want to spend more time together". There had to be something else and Lu Aotian had to know it or else he would not be that calm. 

"Honey, did you wait for too long?" Wan Jia heard a voice behind her. 

She turned and all of the three people she was searching for were right there. "Where did you go?" 

Lu Aotian hugged her from behind. "Can I explain later my love? The ceremony has already begun." 

Wan Jia gave the three of them a quizzical look and they looked at her like they were innocent of all crimes. She decided to deal with them later. 

...

After themultiple distractions, the awards ceremony commenced. 

There were only a few categories.

"The best fashion brand of the year is EFW." 

The CEO of Elite Fashion World went to recieve it like it was nothing new. 

No one was surprised. Hadn't it always been the best since it was founded? It had gotten even better and harder to defeat since Lu Aotian took over Lu Enterprises. 

Wan Jia was not so delusional as to hope that MAX would win in this category. As a new brand, they still had a long way to go. 

"Next, Elder Qian will announce this year's best designer." 

Everyone was stunned. Elder Qian?! The fashion industry's legend? 

"This is huge news! Elder Qian stopped participating in such events. The best designer will be very lucky to recieve their award from him!" 

"He is my idol. I hope you win it." Wan Jia said to Lin Ye softly beside her. 

Amid the cheers and praise, the elderly man that was still in good health went up to the stage. 

He took the envelope from the host happily and opened it. 

"This is the happiest day of my life. Because just when I agreed to attend this event, the best designer turned out to be one of the only three disciples I ever took in." 

The audience was shocked. Three? Wasn't it said that he never found anyone good enough to be his disciple? 

Lin Ye became even more nervous. Elder Qian's disciple? Was it going to be him? 

"I am pleased to announce that the winner of the Annual Designer Awards this year is... Designer Wan Jia of MAX Brand."
