Part 02 The first prince makes his appearance

Xiao Bie merely smiled faintly and did not respond to me

Xiao Bie stood on the steps behind me and said with a cold smile, "This time, the merchants are indeed showing a lot of sincerity"

Although she was always smiling, I did not see a trace of joy in her eyes when I looked at her.

I am unsure how much Shang Er Shao knows about the absurd bet between me and Shang Xiao Shao, so I tentatively decided to explain part of it first

I stared at him with wide eyes, and he smiled even more enigmatically

Xiao Bie and I remained silent for quite some time, and I could not help but ask in a low voice: "Who is that little fellow? Why is he so rude?"

Shang Xiaoshao scolded for a full thirty minutes before leaving, and I remained curled up in the pink room, too afraid to go out, until Aunt Xiao returned

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a closer look at Xiao's mother. Seeing me in a daze, she sighed and said, "Mi | Mi, do you know whose portrait you waved away this afternoon?"

In the distance, I heard Shang Xiaoshao's roar: "She actually cried! Xiao Bie, she actually has the audacity to cry!"

I am drenched in cold sweat, and the stars are swirling before my eyes: "Xiao Bie, the clothes binding my body make me very uncomfortable"

It must be said that Miss Xiao Mi's aesthetic sense is indeed quite refined

I pretended to be very shy, lowering my head and acting cute: "Mommy, I want to be slim and beautiful like you, so I want to lose weight"

Shang Ershao lifted his teacup again and took a sip. Upon hearing my words, he choked slightly, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes. This moment passed in an instant, and a pear blossom-like smile immediately blossomed at the corners of his lips: "Indeed, it is inappropriate to use the word 'cute' to praise a mature young lady."

This is something I only learned later

After speaking, he unexpectedly reversed at high speed, disregarding the fact that the vehicle scraped against the wall, producing blinding sparks, and then changed direction, accelerating with full power and charging out.

Even the voice is as gentle as a spring breeze

I swear, I also did not know that this action could be completed so seamlessly

Xiao Bie suddenly burst into laughter, reaching out to pat my face in a gesture of an elder comforting a younger one: "Mi mi, just endure a little longer and everything will pass."

At this moment, he truly smiled, and there was even a ripple of brilliance in his eyes, spreading out in circles. He said, "Xiao, don't say you have amnesia, I still don't believe it. However, it seems that the amnesiac you is indeed more adorable."

I ascended while holding the goose yellow oversized evening gown, the corset around my chest constricting my breath.

Miss Xiao, is your injury feeling any better?

It seems that from the very beginning, Xiao Mi should have been excluded.

He is too arrogant, but he conceals this arrogance very well. Even if he says something excessive, seeing him smile so leisurely, it is likely that very few people can truly get angry.

You ugly fat woman! He rushed over suddenly, making a gesture as if to choke, his tall figure resembling a fierce and menacing spirit

Xiao Biehan smiled at me and said: "Guess!"

However, Young Master Shang Er actually smiled affectionately at this face, saying: "Rebirth is truly a wonderful idea, but I do hope that you do not forget the wager with Huairen"

Mother Xiao repeatedly urged me to take Xiao the steward with me, not to part for even a moment

If it were the past Xiao Mi | Mi, based on the glorious deeds I have heard in recent days, I estimate that I should soon rush over to express my heartfelt feelings.

Xiao Bie cast a glance, accompanied by a faint smile, and retorted: "Of course, now that you have the mature Second Young Master Shang, you naturally look down on the unruly Young Master Gu. Mi Mi has always had the courage and understands the essence of 'giving and taking'"

I was stunned, and a sense of ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart

This is the first time I have seen his pure smile, like a suddenly blooming water lily, fragrant and distant, yet with a hint of childishness, quite endearing

However, the effect was truly remarkable; Major Shang, who stood nearly 1.85 meters tall, was unexpectedly struck, flying out and tracing a parabolic arc in the air before crashing directly beneath the glass long table, causing several pieces of the glass tea set on the table to be knocked off.

After a long while, he set down his cup, smiled at me sweetly, and then leaned in closer, speaking softly next to my ear

Tears streaming down, my splendid image as a young girl!

I broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Xiao, I truly feel remorseful towards you. After having occupied your daughter Pang Da Kuihu's imposing physique, I should not have shown such disrespect towards your portrait.

He is simply mocking the previous Xiao Mi | Mi is not very lovable

I continued to look at Xiao Bie with a dumbfounded expression, and he gradually became impatient with my gaze, finally speaking up: "It is Gu Shao, who has a very straightforward personality"

He scrutinized me carefully, no longer speaking, with a look of amusement on his face

"Baby, I heard that you've only been drinking milk for breakfast lately and not eating those nutritious things, which is not good!" She leaned closer, and the strong scent of her perfume overwhelmed me, leaving me breathless

I used an unnatural cough to conceal my unease: "Because I played a not insignificant joke on him, involving someone he cares about, it caused a bit of misunderstanding. If Brother Shang Er doesn't come, I will still go to apologize."

He actually praised Xiao Mi

I have my self-esteem

What does Daddy look like? I have been here for so long, yet I have not seen Xiao's father.

Seeing me staring at him blankly, Xiao Bie gradually retracted the smile on his face, returning to the initial state of observing his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose

I sighed, adjusted my dress, composed myself, and proudly declared to Xiao Bie: "I don't like such a half-grown child at all"

The vehicle will reach the merchant after turning the corner and passing through the alley

However, my intuition tells me that there is something strange about all of this

Xiao Mama indeed possesses remarkable skills; I have never seen such a magical fat transfer breast augmentation technique, which surprisingly transfers fat from the abdomen to the breasts. Although the corset damaged two of them, it barely managed to create a waistline, yet the chest is tumultuous.

Shang Er Shao probably wants to see my awkward appearance

He turned his face and complained softly, "Whether you wear a corset or not, it is essentially the same. Why must you imitate other girls in such a superficial manner"

His politeness made me feel embarrassed instead, and it took me a long time to squeeze out a response: "Much better."

As the saying goes, whether one is a prince or an eggplant, one must take it out for a stroll

It is truly embarrassing

I sat down next to him, and the wooden chair creaked under my weight, causing my face to turn even redder

Xiao Bie did not accompany me for a run; he merely instructed the golf cart to follow behind me to prevent me from suddenly requesting a ride.

My curiosity was immediately aroused, filled with excitement

Surprisingly, it is the merchant assistant who has made an appearance this time

Who is sitting in the car? I saw someone poking their head out of the sports car from a distance. Although I couldn't see their face clearly, I felt that the person was very unruly

Mom Xiao said: "Darling, the merchant is one of the four prominent families, and the second young master is the dream lover of many distinguished young ladies. You must seize this opportunity with him"

Mother Xiao's face suddenly fell, and she took on a very sad expression, stroking my head with tears welling in her eyes, saying: "Darling, you really have forgotten everything. Your father has been gone for four years, and all these years, it has been Mommy who has been struggling alone."

Fortunately, out of curiosity, I had already inquired about every detail of the day the incident occurred

Mother Xiao, it is wrong to strike others

It turns out that Father Xiao had already passed away four years ago. I do not follow financial news, so I was completely unaware of this

Heavens! This young man in red is actually the Gu family young master who declared to the world, "I would rather marry a man than a pig girl."

Next, it will be the patient reminders

"Well, it has been a few days since we last met, Miss Xiao, and you have become quite elegant." He tactfully changed the subject, his dark eyes sparkling with a dazzling light, "However, no matter what kind of cat it is, they are all very adorable."

In fact, I really want to explain that the only reason I was moved to tears is that I effortlessly wielded an oil painting weighing nearly 40 pounds with such ease, and I was deeply shocked by my own prowess

I am guilty ... ... Amen

I have a rough idea about that bet," Major General Shang put his cup down on the tea table and suddenly gave me a meaningful smile, almost making my heart leap out, "I know what your bet is.

That sound is truly heart-wrenching, it made my scalp tingle with sorrow

At eleven o'clock, I was slowly walking back when a little girl in pink hurried over to report: "Miss, the second young master from the merchant has arrived"

Well, isn't amnesia a good thing? It's like being reborn, and there's no need to dwell on the past. I see a quarter of my face reflected in the tea in the cup

The boy in the red clothes saw me lean out and showed a look of disgust, immediately retracting his body back into the car, slowly rolling up the window to leave only a narrow gap: "Tell your young master that where there is Xiao Mimi, I will not go. The birthday gift will be made up another day"

I shyly lowered my gaze. Young Master Shang Er, are you here to mock me? When I went down that moment, I could almost hear the sound of Young Master Shang Xiao's waist breaking.

Just kidding! I would never easily give up on the arduous task of losing weight

Truly ugly

Thank you for the compliment, Brother Shang Er. I expressed this with great rationality while smiling in a very official manner, saying, "However, I would prefer if Brother Shang Er could compliment me on my beauty and charm."

He has the appearance of a graceful gentleman, with a demeanor that makes others feel inferior

He unexpectedly approached Miss Xiao with a nonchalant demeanor, teasing her with remarkable composure

Upon hearing that it was an invitation from the young merchant Shao, Xiao Mama couldn't help but smile widely, traveling from London to Paris, filling my seven rainbow wardrobes to the brim

burly

I kept retreating until I was pressed against the wall, with no further retreat possible. In self-defense, I casually tore down a painting from the wall and swung it heavily.

Upon seeing the gesture of Shang Xiaoshao holding his waist and frowning, along with Xiao Bie Mu's astonished expression, I screamed after a moment of astonishment lasting 0.05 seconds, flung aside the oil painting, and ran away in tears. My heavy footsteps thudded against the floor, causing the sound-activated wall lights in the corridor to flicker erratically.

He stared at me intently and suddenly sighed: "What can be done? The corset is worn underneath, and I truly cannot help."

I frowned and looked at Xiao Bie, only to see him wearing an expression of observing the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose, no longer paying attention to me

That said, he still secretly loosened the straps of my corset for me. Although it was not of much practical use, psychologically, I still let out a long sigh of relief

No wonder Xiao Bie revealed that meaningful smile

My cold sweat flows quietly

However, I am aware that the three layers of fat on my abdomen are showing signs of reduction, and my body feels less cumbersome. While grooming, I was surprised to see the initial contours of my face in the mirror. Yet, looking at that face in the mirror, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

I let out a quiet sigh, and I must say that Xiao Bie conceals his emotions very well

In private, I truly cannot discern the nuances of titles and honorifics, so I simply let him call me by my name directly

That's all!

I imitated him, took a sip of the clear tea, and smiled at him, saying: "It's well said, but it can't be considered top-notch; at best, it's merely average beauty."

Therefore, I still took that spare golf cart

I gave him a big eye roll and leaned forward, staring at the boy in the red clothes

Moreover, I seemed to hear the sound of his body crashing violently against the table

Ah!

Xiao Mi is not very good at distinguishing between a man's true words and lies. Even the malicious words from Gu Shao, she can interpret as flirting, which reveals her resilient nerves.

If I can guess it correctly, then it is indeed Xiao Mi | Mi.

He was completely unfazed and still smiled very gently: "I heard that yesterday Huairen acted willfully; I apologize on his behalf and hope Miss Xiao will not take offense at his childish nature."

Open the road, go back to see the eggplant, oh, no, it is the prince

It was only after getting into the car that I realized it was actually the private vehicle of the second young master of the Shang family. To date, no distinguished young lady has ever been in this car.

Ah? What is the situation

I rolled my eyes, unable to comprehend the sudden enthusiasm of the merchant, Er Shao.

His statement is truly ambiguous

First, I received his invitation, for a private small party, the first birthday party since returning to my home country, coinciding with the fourth week of my weight loss journey. During these four weeks, I have consistently run and followed a diet, managing to reduce my weight significantly, but the initial size of my body is indeed too large, so there is hardly any visible change in my appearance.

Mom Xiao was clearly taken aback for a moment, then pretended to smile and said: "Darling, you resemble your father; your father is a handsome and robust man"

Because he said: "Mi | Mi, welcome to pursue me..."

The next day, I woke up early, panting and gritting my teeth, running from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and finally reached the end of the garden. It was beautiful there, with the fence painted in a milky white, and green vines climbing over it, adorning the entire fence with a unique charm

The content of that conversation shook me, and I almost thought it was my own illusion

Mi, your complexion is not good

Regardless of whether I am Xiao Mi or not, I will not let such a young brat lead me by the nose

Merchant No. 2, also known as Shang Huaijin, is 24 years old and graduated from Harvard Business School

Is she implying that my efforts to lose weight would be in vain?

What an impolite fellow

He hasn't even grown a full set of facial hair, so what am I even arguing with him about

Mi | Mi ah. Do not be afraid, Mommy will take charge for you! That little brat from the merchant loves to twist the truth, did he hit you? Don't be afraid, even if the sky falls, Mommy will hold it up for you. '' She smiled while pinching my face with her fingertips, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The car was driving steadily, with Xiao Bie, dressed in a snow-white suit, sitting beside me, his gaze unwavering, resembling a proud prince

However, I couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Madam Xiao. In such a large family as the Xiao family, there must be countless branches, and the competition and strife for power would inevitably be numerous. Yet, she, as a woman, has managed to hold it all together!

What an arrogant tone

The corset constricts my breath, trapping it between my chest and stomach, barely allowing me to take a full breath.

I responded with a dry laugh: "Brother Shang Er is truly humorous." I wanted to blush once more for him to see, but unfortunately, the subcutaneous fat was too thick, preventing it from burning to the surface

Thus, I hurriedly smiled apologetically: "It is of no consequence, it is of no consequence, the main fault lies with me."

That smile, like a male peacock seeking a mate, is spreading its most beautiful feathers, passionately expressing its heartfelt feelings to the beloved female peacock

Has he always looked at me this way

The urgent sound of brakes jolted both Xiao Bie and me from our respective reveries. A red sports car suddenly cut in, intending to slip into the alley ahead of us, but due to its lack of skill, it ended up blocking both vehicles at the entrance of the alley

Mi, I heard that you physically confronted Shang Huairen today

However, I still find it strange; I truly cannot believe that there are people in this world who would be fond of Miss Xiao, who is psychologically twisted and has a large appearance, especially when she is such a refined person, akin to a landscape painting.

Indeed, Mother Xiao paused for a moment and began to cry bitterly: "Darling, what you have thrown away is your father's portrait..."

I looked at her helplessly, my face filled with confusion

Upon seeing the invitation, I instinctively wanted to decline

I was momentarily stunned

I smiled mischievously and said: "I do not agree to offset, Xiao Shao Shang, you wouldn't play tricks with a girl, would you? I remember in the second horse race, our prize was a newborn pure white foal"

The people in the sports car shouted from afar: "Shang Huaijin actually invited Xiao Mimi? Did I hear that correctly?"

On that night, Shang Huairen sent a snow-white stretch limousine, which circled around the large fountain of the Xiao family three full times before coming to a stop

What a disgrace! A gentleman would never be so rude. I frowned and looked at Xiao Bie with my eyes, wondering if we had some kind of enmity between us

I casually threw a flirtatious glance. You little rascal, pretending like that, I am eager to see when you will reveal your true colors

Xiao Mi has probably never humbly apologized. The hand of Young Master Shang Er, holding the teacup, paused slightly, and his dark, deep eyes swept over, carrying a hint of inquiry

Thank you, Xiao Bie

I looked at the speaker, and it felt as if I had been struck by lightning, suddenly experiencing a sensation akin to searching for him in dreams a thousand times. The second young master of the merchant, how should I put it, stood there from a distance like an extremely elegant landscape painting, serene and refined, with his hand holding the teacup being round and slender, clean and tidy

Indeed, it is true to one's nature

I truly do not understand why the Xiao family has such an arrogant little steward

It was still the same hall as yesterday, and I cautiously walked along the wall, filled with trepidation. It is worth noting that the row of oil paintings had been moved that very night. It is likely that Madam Xiao, feeling distressed over her husband's portrait being mistreated, decided to relocate not only it but also the ancestral portraits of the Xiao family.

I sighed and complained, "You have no idea how strong Mommy is." I mimicked the way she had just exerted herself, perfectly imitating her actions, and added, "It really is a challenge for my thick waist." I touched my waist, wearing a distressed expression.
