To avoid being abandoned, she diligently studied the precepts of being a lady, setting high standards for herself in appearance, demeanor, and conduct. She aimed to become plump, as Tong Baichuan found “Babyfat” girls adorable. When he pinched her chubby cheeks and laughed, saying, “Girls should have some meat to be cute,” she felt it was all worth it, even earning the nickname “fatty,” which she didn’t mind.
She lived carefully, burying her true self under disguises, content under someone else’s identity.
Regardless, deep down, she was still that little girl afraid of sunlight and noise, but everything changed with the appearance of one person. That person was Di Xihuang, a legendary figure.
At seventeen, he founded his own network software company and, within three years, rose to the forefront of the IT industry, accumulating astonishing wealth and becoming one of the youngest IT elites. He then extended his reach into finance, insurance, and transportation. Five years later, he established the Di Family Consortium on Wall Street, serving as executive CEO and making the consortium rank among the top ten in the United States within two years.
At their first meeting, she was unaware of his achievements, knowing only that he was a Chinese-American businessman. Even after turning eighteen and attending upper-class gatherings, she was not as active as other young ladies from prestigious families. Her nickname “fatty” made many people hesitant to approach her. Despite her impressive background, she rarely communicated with others and felt out of place, showing no interest in matters unrelated to her.
But at a charity auction dinner, she remembered every detail of that night…
The man pushed Han Bing away, straightening his clothes while ignoring her staggering form. After Han Bing steadied herself, she clung to him, saying, “Your Highness, come to my place. Stop staying in hotels all the time.”
For a moment, she felt as if the man had looked toward her hiding place, a sensation that filled her with fear. The man said nothing and walked toward the brightly lit hall, leaving Han Bing to depart angrily in her high heels.
