The Rebirth Of A Fashion Mogul

" You! You little brat! How can you leave without visiting me! Does your grandfather mean so little to you?Or you only care for your maternal grandfather? It's bad enough that Celio is stealing you away for two years!" The domineering voice of General Zhan sounded through the phone as Xian leaned against the car .

" Grandpa, I'll come and see you soon around the New Years.Maybe we can go see Grandma at the institute , together?"Xian tried to placate his grandfather who was well known for his fiery temper.

" Hmm!You better ! Otherwise, I'm sure we'll be punished together!" General Zhan gave a subconscious shiver at the idea of his wife's punishments.

If General Zhan was fire then his wife , Kang Xieran ,was like ice. Cold, collected and patient. It was a miracle in itself that he was able to move the 'Dragon Domain 's ' Leader's daughter as well as the 'Imperial Dragon Institute' head genius researcher at that time.Dragon Domain was a world of it's own . It was a mysterious island that was not governed by any government but a secret organization. Powerful, rich, and developed was an understatement. It was where the elite of elite gathered. Where geniuses were just common people on island. Here his wife where was born and worked. It was not difficult for them but not easy either with her spending a lot of time in Dragon Domain and him serving his country Huxia . Luckily ,Dragon Domain allied itself with Huxia and was not known to the general public.

Right now ,his wife at 64 years old still worked albeit much less than her younger days and only when something caught her interest. Currently she was working on a secret project allied with some of the top Huxian scientists. This was partly because of interest and slightly due to the fact she was punishing him for an argument that occurred.

He scolded Xian and questioned why he needed to go all the way to Italy and work for his maternal grandfather . Well besides the fact that 'Bellissimo' was one of the largest and leading fashion houses in the world. The company that Zhan Xian's father started in Huxia was not bad. It was the very best in Huxia.

However, his grandson was stubborn and insisted that he wanted to be his own person and stand on his own feet. To go somewhere where nobody knew him and solely be judged on the quality of his designs.Finally when he was convinced and grandfather and grandson were at peace his wife threw a tantrum.

She started arguing that , ' Each person should be free to pursue their dreams' and what if ' He chases away Xiao Xian with his controlling behavior?'Then she ran away to work for the institute. General Zhan sighed he was what they call a hen pecked husband . He apologized and coaxed his wife truly making an appearance of an obedient wife slave.

When she was finally appeased and agreed come home this stinky boy suddenly up and decided to suddenly leave the country!

Finally after all was said and done Zhan Xian mischievously grinned ." Grandpa, aren't you going to wish me luck?"

" Stinky brat, what luck? You better not come back until you are the best new designer! And boy if you dare neglect your health just see how I deal with you! " General Zhan scoffed but one could tell how proud he was of Xian.

" Yes , Grandpa ,I won't let you down." Zhan Xian was now dead serious with no traces of amusement .

General Zhan sighed and spoke gently," Xiao Xian ,take care of yourself and be careful.Tang Min and two bodyguards will be there soon. I will miss you. Remember to call your grandmother when you land otherwise she will worry."

After the call Zhan Xian took a moment to compose himself. He will definitely miss his grandparents. They were the ones who raised ,from the age of 13 years old , when his parents died .

At first it was his father who met in a tragic accident and died young. For a while he remained in Italy with his maternal grandparents and his mother who passed on later in the year from a brain aneurysm.From that time he lived in Huxia with his grandparents .For a few minutes Xian was lost in memories of the past before thinking of the girl he had met that he had a great tactic understanding with. He was trying to to think of a method to recruit her not realizing that said girl had already left under the distressed eyes of his personal ȧssistant.

In the meantime Song Xia and her cast mates met at a small but popular breakfast store. It was a traditional breakfast diner which specialized in meat buns, sausages, soups and stuffed pancakes.

By comparison Sun Shuai's reaction was much cuter and honest.With cheeks bulging and eyes sparkling as she ate. She looked like an adorable bunny.

" Song-Song, these are absolutely delicious! Where did you get them from?But..."

Sun Shuai pouted," I will gain weight if I become addicted to these ! Hmmph, that just means more exercise and dieting....Why ! Why cookies are you tempting me with your deliciousness!"

The fellow models burst out laughing while Pan Ali's sneer went unnoticed. Song Xia informed her about Cloud Coffee House and their delicious desserts. After all most girls and some guys adored desserts.

Sun Shuai's excitedly replied ," Oh, I heard of that franchise. Apparently there are only 3 Coffee houses so far. The capital, G City and D City . I meant to try their desserts to see if they were as good as the online reviews. Since their desserts are so awesome I need to bring back some for my mom and little sister or they will complain!"

Sun Shuai wasn't from the D City but A City so she like Song Xia had travelled especially for the Sillux Campaign. Only Zi Wuying was native to D City and showed them around.

Zhan Xian glanced at his reflection in the car window and tried to smile and appear friendly but failed to do so. Many people on the slide walk glanced at the strikingly handsome man with gorgeous eyes and a powerful aura.

Zhan Xian's features were striking , devastatingly handsome but not gentle. There was no softness or gentleness on his face. Although his eyes were pretty and alluring they radiated aloofness. His nose was straight long and had chiseled v jawline. His lower lip was fuller than his upper lip yet somehow that small imperfection made him more dazzling especially with the slight impression of a cleft in his chin.

Yet ,in this masculine and striking face that could send someone's heart racing was something exceptionally adorable and unexpected. Although it was a forced smile reflected in the window it caused two a pair of small dimples to appear on either side of his face. Somehow making this man even more good looking.

Although he was handsome he wasn't person who was friendly but he could interact well in a social setting. After many years the ones he truly considered friends where few and far between. In most cases all of his friends and acquaintances had approached him first and he had never attempted to make friends with anybody since his early teens.

Zhan Xian shook his head and berated himself before heading back to the coffee shop.He truly didn't know how to be friends with the girl he had just met. He didn't want to scare her off and wanted to cultivate her as an ȧssistant designer or if she had talent in the field as a future designer for his upcoming company. His dream was to make a Fashion House that was his own brand filled with his own ideas and designs.This was a difficult matter but as long as she graduated from university he could offer her a job at one of his companies. Also he noticed that she was could be a good model from what he could see....
