"What... What?! You''re DO?" Rocky felt as though his tongue had disappeared. This bombshell was as shocking as a beggar on the street iming to be the billionaire''s


    son.


    Seeing the astonishment on Rocky''s face, Aurora smiled gently. "What''s wrong? Is it not possible?"


    "It is... it''s just... none of us expected this." Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had just been praising DO moments ago. If he''d said anything bad, it would''ve been utterly awkward, especially since the real DO was sitting right in front of him.


    Even Julian was caught off guard. "Little Bunny, how many secrets are you hiding? You never cease to amaze me. Even I didn''t know you had any connection to DO."


    When Julian first learned that Candy had be a spokesperson for zero endorsement fees, he had imagined countless possibilities. Yet, the idea that Aurora herself was DO never crossed his mind.


    Candy loved jewelry, and DO was renowned for turning the mundane into


    extraordinary. As Rocky had put it, anything, no matter how in or exquisite, became a masterpiece in her hands.


    "All my secrets, Julian, you already know," Aurora said with a yful smile. "I promised to design a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition series for her, and to give her priority ess


    to all my future creations. That''s the only reason Candy agreed to help me."


    "Why didn''t you ever tell me you were DO?" Julian asked, his admiration for her growing. Her talent and unique personality continued to amaze him.


    Aurora shrugged, sticking out her tongue. "You never asked." She had always been low-key. While others might see her status as something extraordinary, to her, it was just another part of her life.


    As a child, she often scored perfect marks on her tests. While others saw her as a prodigy, to her, it was as ordinary as drinking water or eating food. People who unted their achievements typically did so because such sesses were rare for them. For Aurora, they were simply routine.


    She didn''t think being DO was particrly remarkable. Every field had its own elites. Take Julian, for instance.


    At first, she had thought Julian was simply in real estate. But as she got to know him, she realized his business empire was far beyond her imagination.


    Despite his incredible sess, Julian never bragged about his wealth or how much money he made.


    Both of them were alike in this way. To them, these things were just part of their daily lives, not worth mentioning.


    Aurora didn''t care whether Julian was rich or not. What mattered to her was that he treated her well. That was enough.


    If he had no money, she could support him. She wasn''t the type to rely on a wealthy partner. Aurora was strong and independent, so Julian''s wealth and status didn''t concern her.


    Julian, in turn, loved her for her strength and independence. She was a fearless powerhouse in the outside world, yet in front of him, she was his tender, gentle Little Bunny.


    It didn''t matter to him whether she was a wealthy heiress, a business owner, or a brilliant designer.


    What made their rtionship so special was how simr they were and how perfectly theyplemented each other. Such a connection was rare in love.

"Mrs. Ba, I used to only admire our president. But now, I think I need to admire you as well. You''re incredible!" Rocky eximed, still in disbelief.


    "There''s nothing incredible about it," Aurora said modestly. "As a child, I loved drawing and taught myself design. Later, I went to New York. Initially, it was just for fun.


    "I participated in a designpetition under the name DO, not expecting to win first ce. That marked my official entry into the design world.


    "But at that time, I had a newpany in New York and couldn''t fullymit to design. It was just a hobby for me. Whenever I had free time, I would get bursts of inspiration. To my surprise, many people ended up loving the pieces I created from those ideas.


    "As for the so-called ''hunger marketing'' you mentioned earlier, that''s not deliberate at all. I never intended to make this my career. It''s just a passion, and I release new designs whenever inspiration strikes."


    Aurora recounted how she entered the design industry. It was, by far, the smoothest path she''d ever taken-somethingpletely unexpected.


    "I heard that the best jewelry design school in Paris invited you to be their chief designer, but you turned them down. When I read that report, I thought, ''Wow, what arrogance!'' Turning down an opportunity others dream of without a second thought? That''s bold! After the news broke, even people who didn''t know you became aware of you," Rocky said.


    Aurora chuckled. "At that time, mypany was just starting, and Ashy was overwhelmed handling it alone. This was ourpany, and I couldn''t just abandon him to take on some design job.


    "I knew exactly what I wanted. Even if I chose to pursue design in the future, I wouldn''t join another team. I''d create my own brand. Working for someone else has never been my style.

"Design is a profession that requires inspiration. If it bes just a job, the quality of the work will decline. What was once an art form would turn into mass-produced industrial products.


    "The number of people who appreciate my work would dwindle, and my passion for design would slowly fade. That''s not the life I want. I know what I want-to leave a piece of pure, untouched ground for myself, free from fame or fortune."


    Hearing her words, Rocky admired Aurora even more. No wonder his president was utterly captivated by her.


    "Mrs. Ba, you''re absolutely right! There used to be designers full of creativity, but they lost it when too many external factors came into y. Their work became less about pure design.


    "The reason a sessful designer''s work is so admired is because of its unique style. You''re truly gifted. I used to think no one was worthy of our president. But now I realize, you and our president are a perfect match!"


    "Of course we are! Do you even need to say that?" Julian shot Rocky a sideways nce. "Alright, we''re here. Get out of the car."


    Rocky was startled. Time had flown by, and he still had so many questions he wanted


    to ask Aurora. Reluctantly, he stepped out of the car.


    "Mrs. Ba, President Ba, take care." Unconsciously, Aurora''s image in his heart had risen just a little higher than Julian''s.
