"So now is the time to announce the topper of this year. Before announcing the name, I would like to share how the designs of this student have won the admiration of not only mine but other teachers as well in the Fashion Designing department. At one glance, everyone was able to predict that this student will be the topper of this year."

The university professor spoke into the microphone with a polite smile on his lips. When he finished, there were whispers among the students seated below on the chairs. 

"Who do you think it can be?" 

One of them asked and a few others around him looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Who else it can be none other…"

"Mo Roulan, please come to the stage and receive your degree and trophy."

The professor finished before the girl who was just speaking could finish and she shrugged as if she knew it already. 

Others around her looked equally unsurprised. Most of them or at least those who had seen Mo Roulan's designs before were not surprised. 

"Ah, it is the ice queen…"

One of the boys suddenly stood up from the crowd and shouted. Everyone looked towards him including the teachers and he sat down hurriedly. 

After that, everyone ignored him and looked towards the girl who just stood up from the chair and was now walking toward the stage. 

"Ah…she can smile at least now."

A boy whispered and leaned against his seat and continued 

"I wonder sometimes how she looks like when she smiles. She is so beautiful. She must be like a fairy when she smiles."

The boy smiled in a silly manner when he said these words while the other shook his head as he adjusted his glasses and said 

"I wonder how her designs speak so many things when she herself looks so emotionless."

Apparently, he knew that he must be second if Mo Roulan was first. However, he was not envious. In the beginning, he used to feel slightly envious but after Mo Roulan had defeated him so many times, he had accepted that he was second to her wherever she was present. 

He had even tried to befriend her. It is just that…she was so cold that no one could befriend her including him.

"Good work, Mo Roulan."

The professor smiled as he passed the trophy to Mo Roulan who said calmly

"Thank you"

After that, she took the scroll from the professor and the trophy for the top student and stepped down from the stage. 

She didn't stay inside any longer and stepped out of the huge hall. 

After that, she walked towards the university exit. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a black car and standing outside a man. 

Mo Roulan walked towards him and said calmly 

"Dad, you didn't need to come and tire yourself."

Chi Rong ignored her words and took the scroll from her hand as well as a trophy. As he looked at the trophy and the 'top student' words written on it, he smiled widely and his eyes were filled with pride. 

"How can I not come on such a day! My daughter is graduating today. Which Father would miss such a joyous day of his daughter?"

Mo Roulan shook her head as she opened the door of the car and said 

"I would have been happier if you would have rested at home in this small time." 

Chi Rong clicked his tongue in disapproval and flicked her forehead. Mo Roulan frowned and then looked at him with disapproval.

However, Chi Rong smiled and said 

"Young Lady, don't forget that I am your father. You are starting to become my mother these days."

Chi Rong shook his head as he said this and then even said 

"Your father is still quite young so don't worry. Let's go home. Your mother will be happy to hear about you."

Mo Roulan's eyes were slightly lost when she heard about her mother but she sat inside the car silently. 

Chi Rong walked to the driver seat and drove the car to their mansion. 

The car stopped outside the huge mansion and Chi Rong drove inside after the security guard opened the gates. 

When the car stopped, he and Mo Roulan stepped out of the car and walked inside the mansion while the driver parked the car in the garage.

Chi Rong and Mo Roulan both of them climbed the stairs and then walked to the first room on the first floor. 

Mo Roulan pushed the door of the room gently. As soon as she did, the sound of the heavy machines attached to the person lying on the bed could be heard. 

She stood there as she stared at her mother who was lying on the bed…with her eyes closed. 

Chi Rong who was behind her held her shoulders and made her step toward the bed. 

"Come on, tell her."

He whispered in her ears and looked at Lin Qianru on the bed. 

Mo Roulan swallowed before she spoke up.

"Mom, I graduated today...with top ran in my university. It is a very good university. I would not face any problem in finding any job in the future."

Before Mo Roulan could continue, Chi Rong frowned and interrupted her. 

"What job? Does my daughter need to look for a job? I already have prepared everything for you. You should just tell me when you wish to start your own company."

Mo Roulan blinked and then looked at Chi Rong. 

But then she decided that she would talk to him later. 

Her eyes went to her mother again and she held her hand as she whispered

"Please wake up soon, Mom. All of us are waiting for you."

The smile from Chi Rong's eyes vanished when he heard this and it was replaced by sadness. He smiled again but quite sadly as he said 

"She will wake up. Don't worry. She has worked hard for so long so she wants to rest for some time. When her rest would be enough according to her, she will wake up."

As he said this, Chi Rong patted Mo Roulan's head in a fatherly manner.1
