China Fashion Show(3)

Huo Yue was also one of the designers participating and competing in this competition, she actually didn't know who Sia Chen was and how she looked but she heard her mother and Mother Mo talking that Elder Mo had arranged for Mo Xiao to marry some Sia Chen, granddaughter of Elder Jing. Her mood was already sour when Sia bumped in her.

Sia was looking down and Huo Yue was busy calling someone so they didn't notice each other. Huo Yue dropped her phone, Sia was also at fault so she immediately picked up her phone and was about to hand it back to her when she noticed the phone number, it belonged to Mo Xiao; Sia frowned at that sight, she didn't know that person too, Huo Yue looked at Sia staring at her phone so she immediately snatched it back. The phone suddenly connected but both the girls didn't notice it. It was a secluded corridor so there were not much people passing by, besides Huo Yue was famous for having extremely bad temper so nobody halted to watch instead scurried away as fast as they could. They would avoid offending her just because she on good terms with Mo Family, especially Mo Xiao.

"I'm sorry about that. It wasn't on purpose." Sia apologized pointing at the phone. Huo Yue was about to ignore her and walk, when she suddenly heard Susie.

"Oh Sia, thank god your still here." Susie said panting heavily while approaching her. Huo Yue's steps paused when she heard him call her 'Sia'. She was well informed from her sources that Sia Chen was visiting today for Su Qitong.

She turned to face Sia and asked, "You're Sia Chen?"

Sia was surprised by her question as that face did not belong to someone she knew. "Er… Do I know you?" she asked. Her words indirectly confirmed that she was Sia Chen.

"Oh, I'm Huo Yue, I have heard about you. Finally, we met. Nice to meet you." said Huo Yue, smiling.

Sia frowned after her, she could easily deduce meaning of 'I have heard about you'. Sia gave a small smile before saying, "Same here." Huo Yue instantly replied, "From Brother Mo ??" she asked smiling shyly. Sia ignored her and turned towards Susie, he brought her scarf that she forgot.

They were about to disperse when they saw Mo Xiao walking towards them. Huo Yue face instantly brightened at his sight, but Sia was between them having her back towards him so she didn't saw him coming. She took the scarf and turned to see Mo Xiao coming towards her, she shook her head laughing lightly and immediately walked towards him and before he could say something or Huo Yue do something, she did something extremely unexpected. She just grabbed him by his arm on her side and turned him, she just dragged him with her away from everyone. Huo Yue was embarrassed standing there smiling with her hand in mid-air as if raising to greet someone. Susie was already away from them, but the people who saw that action were baffled.

No one dared to drag him like this, NO One!! Just who was this THE MO XIAO!! Not even Huo Yue could guarantee that she would be alive if she dared to act like that. But this girl did it also he didn't protest. He let her drag him. That was simply unbelievable from everyone that saw it!! People started taking pictures but it was already late until they regained their composures and took out their phones.

Sia dragged him until they were away from her, from people. She stopped after noticing that no one was around. She turned to find him staring at the hand holding his, with a dazed look; yeah it was dazed, it wasn't happiness nor anger nor frustration, it was simply a dazed look.

She instantly let go looking at his eyes. She didn't notice it before but now she saw she could some kind of fire in those eyes, it was nothing different but she never saw it before so she couldn't tell what it was. It was a fire filled with desire to possess something.

Even though she let go of his hand it was mid-air, it didn't fall nor his gaze moved. She coughed lightly to grab his attention, "I'm sorry. She was in mood to create a scene but I wasn't. Your interference would just fan those flames in her heart."

"Fan the flames in her heart?" he asked confusedly.

"Obviously she now knows about my existence. Won't she try to embarrass me by asking you to take her side?? It's normal. And she would be enraged if she backfired." Sia said shrugging her shoulders it was as if it happened with her. Her past crossed her mind when she actually faced this situation before, but she 'Huo Yue' in that story, she brushed away her thoughts before looking at him. He was smiling at her.

He was about to say something when the person assigned to take care of them by manager arrived. Both of them followed him their seats in VIP section.

Don't know who allotted the names on the seats but it was funny. Su Fei and Gu Lin were at corners and Mo Xiao next to Gu Lin followed by Sia. Sia was in middle of the four which made her curse the person whoever allotted the names. Liao Qing was happy to sit beside her, she could easily tell with that smile on his face when he asked her to take the seat, they all sat down quietly.

The show was about to start, when Liao Qing, turned his head towards Sia and said, "Oh, by the way Miss. Chen myself Liao Qing, owner of Sky Airlines." He smiled at Sia slyly. Sia looked at Mo Xiao as if asking for help but he was looking at the stage ignoring her with a look 'None-of-my-business'. Sia rolled her eyes at him before turning to Liao Qing, "Hello Mr. Liao. Nice to meet you." She said with a small smile, she acted as if she didn't see the hand for a handshake before looking back at the stage.

"Care for a dinner Miss. Chen?" Liao Qing asked. Sia really admired him for his shameless. Many asked her out but no one asked her on their first meet and with such confidence! Such a narcissist!' she thought to herself before answering him.

"I'm so sorry Young master Liao, it's actually an honor for me but, I promised my boyfriend to have dinner with him and his friends." She said sounding apologetic. Mo Xiao nearly laughed at this self-invited guest who would be joining them for dinner.

Su Fei smiled when he heard her words. Gu Lin looked at Mo Xiao with pity at which he just rolled his eyes in annoyance. Gu Lin and Su Fei both felt sorry for Liao Qing who was so straightforwardly rejected for the first time, but they couldn't help but think that Sia was ruthless.

The lights dimmed down nearly blackening the audience section, when the host came on stage, "Ladies and gentleman welcome to the third day of China Fashion Week. I, Wu Minghua is privileged to host today's awe-inspiring night. The lighting is dimmed for the sake of giving you a heavenly experience that I hope everyone enjoy. But before that I hope everyone could turn their phone on silent and use it only if needed. So, now let the show begin." He said before going back.

The models started entering the ramp and forming the formations decided, the show was about to end so all the designers were called on stage with their central piece.

Sia was nervous when they were eliminating designers to find the top three, all the four princes there smiled at her but she was to tensed to notice them. Qitong was selected in those top three. She couldn't help but sigh in relief.

The winner of the top ten designers would be able to work with the top most designers in the world not only that his or her work would be displayed in Milan Fashion Week as an honor.

The results were announced as Huo Yue as second runner up, Su Qitong as first runner up and an unknown girl named Lan Yu as the winner, she was a born talent combined with her hard work she truly deserved it.

Sia applauded wholeheartedly forgetting who she was with when she heard Qitong to be first runner up, Su Fei was naturally happy for his sister, but he was much composed compared to Sia, whose eyes were slightly red, Mo Xiao's eye never left Sia even though he appeared to be engrossed in watching the show, as soon as he saw a glittering tear drop near the corner of her eye he immediately handed him his handkerchief amidst the darkness.

All the top ten designers were asked questions by the reporters in the audience, when Qitong was asked about her biggest encouragement she giggled before answering, "My encourager she's someone who stayed awake when I couldn't complete my designs, she travelled with me when I was unable to gather inspiration she was not constantly with me but always present helping me in shadows. My MAO*." Said Qitong before returning the microphone. Everyone laughed when they heard her.

Sia face palmed her face in embarrassment, as the lights were already turned on Su Fei turned his head to Sia and laughed out, "I told you Sia, if you close the door for her stop from escaping, she'll use the window. But she will do what she wants for sure. Haha. Now its publicized." Su Fei laughed again. His sister publicized Sia's nickname on national television, it was hilarious. Haha

The other three then understood everything and laughed with him, but looking at the girl who now had composed herself and was glaring at the girl on stage made them drop the idea of teasing her.

Everything ended on a good note but suddenly a photo went viral, it reached Liao Qing phone also, it was a photo of Mo Xiao being dragged by a slender feminine hand. But the lady was blocked by a wall at the turn. But everyone could tell that the hand belonged to a girl and also Mo Xiao could be clearly identified.

MAO- means cat in Chinese, its used as a nickname for Sia.
