The Unexpected Revelation

Lian Zheng was having a great time at the charity gala. He was mingling with the wealthy and famous, sipping champagne and enjoying the music.

As he was chatting with a group of people, he noticed Ava across the room. She was standing at a podium, giving a speech about her latest fashion collection.

Lian Zheng's eyes were drawn to her, as they always were. He couldn't help but admire her beauty and confidence.

As he listened to her speech, Lian Zheng's eyes began to wander around the room. He noticed the logos on the walls, the banners and signs. They all had one thing in common: they all had Ava's name on them.

Lian Zheng's eyes widened in shock as he realized the truth. Ava wasn't just a fashion designer, she was the CEO of Ava Fashion Inc., one of the biggest fashion companies in the world.

He felt a mix of emotions: surprise, admiration, and a little bit of embarrassment. He had no idea that Ava was so successful. He had no idea that she was a mogul in the fashion industry.

As Ava finished her speech, Lian Zheng made his way over to her. He congratulated her on her collection, trying to play it cool.

But Ava could see the surprise in his eyes. She could see the questions in his mind.

"Lian Zheng, what's wrong?" she asked, laughing. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

Lian Zheng smiled, feeling a little sheepish. "I just didn't know you were the CEO of Ava Fashion Inc.," he said.

Ava laughed, her eyes sparkling. "I didn't think it was a big deal," she said. "I just didn't want to brag about it."

Lian Zheng felt a sense of admiration for Ava. He admired her humility, her modesty. He admired her for not bragging about her success.

As they talked, Lian Zheng realized that he had been wrong to assume that Ava was hiding something from him. She hadn't been hiding anything, she just hadn't told him.

And as they talked, Lian Zheng knew that he had found something special. He had found love, true love, and he knew that he would do anything to make it last.

As the night wore on, Lian Zheng and Ava continued to talk and laugh together. They danced and mingled, enjoying each other's company.

And as they left the gala, Lian Zheng knew that he would never forget this night. He had discovered a new side of Ava, a side that he admired and respected.

As they walked out into the cool night air, Lian Zheng turned to Ava. "I have to say, I'm impressed," he said, smiling.

Ava laughed, her eyes sparkling. "Impressed by what?" she asked.

"I'm impressed by your success," Lian Zheng said. "I'm impressed by your humility. And I'm impressed by you."

Ava's face lit up with a smile. "Thank you, Lian Zheng," she said. "That means a lot coming from you."
