The colleague nodded after listening, "That seems to be right!"

Lv Nan Nan smiled, "So, don’t get discouraged, let’s work hard together. Maybe one day, both of us can become powerful women!"

The colleague responded, "Well, although it seems unlikely, it’s always good to have dreams, so let’s work hard for the future together!"

Lv Nan Nan lowered her eyes and smiled. After that, the two of them didn’t say anything else until the car dropped them off at the staff dormitory.

After getting out of the car, the colleague walked forward, took a couple of steps, and found that Lv Nan Nan was standing still, "Hey, are you not coming?"

Lv Nan Nan said, "I just realized I might have left my phone in the hotel suite. Looks like I need to go back!"

The driver who had dropped them off hadn’t left, so taking Lv Nan Nan back to the hotel shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Besides, the driver was arranged by Shi Nuan’s Father, which seemed safe and reliable.

The colleague didn’t say more, just nodded and said, "Then be careful on your way, I have a bit of a headache, I’ll go back to sleep first!"

Lv Nan Nan responded, and after they said goodbye, she watched her colleague walk a distance away before turning to the driver with a soft voice, "Thank you for bringing us back. It’s very late now, you don’t need to take me back, I can take a taxi myself!"

The driver seemed a bit uneasy, "Miss, it’s not safe for a girl to take a taxi alone at night!"

"It’s alright, and it’s not very far. I’d feel bad to make you go back and forth again!"

Saying this, she nodded towards the driver and turned to hail a taxi.

Just then, a taxi stopped, and Lv Nan Nan quickly flagged it down, opened the door, and got in.

The driver called out to her once but couldn’t stop her.

Finally, the driver sighed and got into his car and left.

Inside the taxi, Lv Nan Nan took out her phone, found a number, and dialed it.

The voice on the other end quickly answered, it was a male voice, "Hello?"

"Shen Zui? It’s me, Lv Nan Nan!"

There was a pause from Shen Zui’s side, then he asked, "You’re calling because...?"

Lv Nan Nan bit her lip and said, "I have something to discuss, I want to meet you, are you free now?"

Before Shen Zui could respond, Lv Nan Nan added, "It’s about Nuannuan..."

...

On the same night, Ji Yunjin was in her study at home.

She had been looking over the initial draft of the Cheongsam design she’d worked on for several days, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Always feeling something that could captivate her was missing in the Cheongsam, but couldn’t articulate what it was.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a bit tired after days of designing.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Ji Yunjin responded casually, indicating for the visitor to come in, it was her daughter Ji Xiangling.

Noticing this, Ji Yunjin quickly waved her over, saying, "Xiangling, you’re just in time. Come help me check these design drafts; I feel something is missing, but I just can’t figure out what..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ji Xiangling walked over, reviewed all the design drafts, smiled lightly, "Mom, your design drafts are fine, if released on the market in the future, they’ll definitely stir up another wave of Chinese fashion. But if you say something’s missing, I think, maybe it’s something missing in your heart..."

Ji Yunjin was taken aback, "Something missing in my heart?"

"Yes..." Ji Xiangling looked at Ji Yunjin, softly asked, "Mom, have you seen Father in the six years since I left?"
