"I was invited by the organizer to present the award," Ye Huang said leisurely.
"How come I didn't know?" asked Bai Xiao. If she had known he was the award presenter, she wouldn't have accepted the award and would've let Liang Qiu receive it instead!
"You never asked me."
"..."
Bai Xiao almost cursed out loud.
"Fashion designer, your profession?"
"Mhm," Bai Xiao bowed her head, subject to his scrutiny.
"Why didn't I know?"
"You never asked me."
Bai Xiao threw his words right back at him, unchanged.
"So I'm asking now, what exactly did you study abroad?"
"There's nothing worth learning at a 'University of Pheasants'; I started playing with design not long after I went abroad."
"Playing with fashion design is very expensive, yet none of the Bai family members knew about it."
"I earned my own way through working and saving," said Bai Xiao. Behind every success, there's an untold story of hardship. She was no exception. Before founding Ta, she lived a few hard years.
