National School Prince is a Girl - V1C26
Afterward, she prepared for a shower, towel in hand. She thought to herself, things could wait until after her shower.
On the other side, Qin Mo finished his meeting and reopened his silver notebook and neck-plus-ultra laptop. His secretary stood beside him, frozen in place, unable to speak or move. However, he couldn’t help but steal glances at his CEO. Although Qin Mo was a revered figure in the world of electronic gaming, he had never engaged in chat while gaming before. What was different today? This was the second time he had seen his CEO typing in a chat.
*Still there?* the CEO sent.
But the other party seemed to have gone inactive and didn’t reply. Qin Mo
remained still, sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes glued to the
screen. Was he really going to wait for a response? The secretary was
baffled. Who was this person intriguing enough to make the CEO wait?
*I’m here, I’m here! I was taking a shower,* Fu Jiu responded as soon as she saw the notification light upon exiting her
shower. She typed with one hand while drying her hair with the other. Water
droplets dripped from her cropped hair, gliding down her androgynous face
and soaking into her white shirt. The scene was striking.
Back
in the large meeting room, upon seeing her reply, Qin Mo bluntly asked,
*Are you a boy or a girl?*
Fu Jiu paused, blinking slightly.
*Male,* she replied. Then she
added playfully,
*What? Almighty Qin, don’t tell me you have an online crush on me?*
Qin Mo's cold, lonely black eyes suddenly flashed with
intensity.
The secretary behind him couldn’t help but cough loudly. This person is
incredibly bold! Wouldn't the CEO simply lose his temper and take him down?
Secretary Liang had initially planned to go home early, but now he had
changed his mind and decided to stay. Watching his CEO get teased was far
more entertaining than any TV show.
However, just as he made
this decision, Qin Mo took his laptop and said in an indifferent tone,
"Secretary Liang, since you enjoy company drama so much, please stay here
and work overnight. I'll come back to check on the results tomorrow."
Secretary Liang thought, "CEO, you can't do this to me!!!"
Qin
Mo pressed the elevator button, walked into the break room on the rooftop,
and allowed a small smile to appear on his face, as delicate as an eternal
ice flower in the North Pole. Fu Jiu sent a message,
*?*" after noticing that he hadn't
replied.
Ding.
As Qin Mo settled beside the floor-to-ceiling window and
reopened his laptop, he saw the message. He replied slowly,
*I’m not interested in guys, but if you were a girl, I would show you how
I LIKE someone.* He emphasized the word "like" in capitals—it definitely wasn't innocent.
Fu Jiu understood the hidden meaning and felt her cheeks flush.
To avoid jeopardizing their potential relationship before their meeting, she
cleverly shifted the topic.
*So, what specific time will you be free tomorrow, morning or afternoon?*
*Afternoon,* he
replied, keeping it brief. Fu Jiu thought to herself that this man didn't
say much unless he was upset.
She glanced at her watch and said,
*Then let's meet after school. My last class ends at 6 p.m., and I can be
at Lan Ning Café near University A by 6:15 p.m. Be there or be
square!*
With that, she started to log off.
To her surprise, another
message came through, *Hold on a sec.*
*Hm?* Fu Jiu raised
an eyebrow.
Qin Mo's expression was cold, yet curious.
*Why do you want to meet up?*
*Well, being chased like that does bother me.*
She sent this message, setting down her towel and waiting for a response. Of
course, she couldn't reveal her true feelings online.
Qin Mo
responded with a cold
*Oh,* clearly unconvinced. Then he
added,
*Give me your WeChat contact info.*
Fu Jiu had anticipated this. She gave him her WeChat ID[ii]: "SPADEZ."
He responded with a thumb-up emoji. His words were
as straightforward as his personality—arrogant and to the point. It seemed
like this Almighty CEO had little interest in continuing the conversation.
After all, girls were more sought after in the gaming world. However, she
already knew what he looked like. Once she arrived at the café, she would
ask for Qin Mo directly. If he was in a VIP room and didn't provide any
information, that was okay; she could just use WeChat.
After
sorting everything out in her mind, Fu Jiu turned off her laptop and went to
bed. She didn’t have her phone with her, so she didn’t realize that several
identical friend request notifications had popped up, waiting for her
confirmation...
On the rooftop of Qin Corporation, outside the
floor-to-ceiling window, the city was illuminated at night, its glow
reflected inch by inch in Qin Mo's eyes. He held a wine glass in one hand
and stared at his phone screen.
His expression grew colder by
the moment... Still not confirmed? Fine! Just wait and see how he handles
"him" when they meet tomorrow!
