Xiao Li nodded and took over.
She thought to herself.
All those scions and sons of noble families that the media so extravagantly praised and hoisted to the skies, and all those chairmen of big corporations—what were they?
The real authority was sitting right here.
Ordinary people didn't know who he was or what he did; he belonged to a stratum inaccessible to the common folk.
Yet, he drove the cheapest car, preferred backdoors when dining out, would actually smile when in a good mood, and when lonely, would quietly sit in a corner to catch up on sleep. He didn't want to draw attention to himself and would taste almonds like an ordinary person to savor their flavor. He could get angry, be jealous, and would race back from Jin City just for a young girl.
He would protect his woman without any hesitation.
No matter how much he tried to blend in and not draw attention, he couldn't hide the inherent authority and the sense of nobility that enveloped him.
