Fried Chicken Cutlets Outside an Elite School, Shanghai's Rich Young Master Can't Stop Chasing After Them

I sell fried chicken cutlets outside a high school in Shencheng. The oil sizzles in the pan, and the aroma carries for miles.

The motorcade of Jiang Yu, Shanghai's young heir, blocks the school gate every day, all so he can buy my secret-recipe cutlets.

He smirks around a bamboo skewer. "Name your price. Sell me the recipe."

I don't even bother looking up. "Get lost. You're blocking my customers."

Until he pins me against my greasy food cart, his breath burning hot:

"Then how about I buy you and the recipe together?"

Only later did I learn that the little angel who'd pulled him from a burning building ten years ago was someone he'd spent a decade searching for.

But trauma from my own burn injuries had made me forget that I'd saved him.
