Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

221 Surrounded by fans



Mrs. Quan was so elated that she wanted to hop around the whole library and announce their relationship.

“I am so proud of you two,” she sniffled. “I loved the way Ai confessed! So unique and…” she teased, “declaring in front of the whole world. You must be so pleased, Jun.”

Jun smirked. “That was the best part indeed. But…it’s all thanks to you, Mrs. Quan.”

“Ah? What did I do?” She asked, puzzled.

Jun smiled. “You made me aware of my feelings or I might have always been in denial. You have helped me a lot since the beginning. You hired me to work here, and I cannot thank you enough for it. I…” his gaze flickered, “I really needed a place to belong to, and you gave me that. That was a hard spell for me and if not for you by my side, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far. I love and respect you a lot. Thank you very much, Mrs. Quan,” Jun stood and bowed.

Ai smiled.

“Y-You don’t have to do that!” She hastily waved her hand, “Oof. You are the CEO of Sky Publishing. What will people think seeing you bow like this?”

Mrs. Quan was bewildered to see Jun at the Summit too. When he showed his face as the Sky CEO, she thought she would faint. She wanted to collapse with a heart attack.

My assistant librarian was a CEO all this time!?

Jun tilted his head. “What does it matter? Even if I am the CEO, I am still the assistant librarian here.”

Mrs. Quan was taken aback. “You are?”

“…”

“You are firing me?” His expression twisted in a grimace.

She was at a loss for words. “Of course not. B-But won’t you be working in Sky now? You are the CEO, after all…” her voice held a trace of lament.

“Aww, will you feel sad without me? Is that loneliness I sense from your voice?” He teased her.

Ai’s mouth twitched.

Jun…

Mrs. Quan blushed. “You…! You have become too bold to make fun of me now. Of course, I will miss you. I treat you like my son. I enjoyed having you as my assistant. You are such a hard and dedicated worker. Though I shouldn’t say this as the head librarian, it was fun to hear patrons complain about you.”

“…”

Ai choked.

Jun sneered. “You have odd tastes, Mrs. Quan. I didn’t expect anything less from you.”

That earned him a glare.

“Anyway. I won’t be leaving this library. I will be working as the assistant librarian.”

Mrs. Quan was delighted but also realized the situation. “But don’t you have your own company to work at?”

“Of course, I have. Sky Publishing exists. But that doesn’t matter. I was always the CEO yet I worked here, right? The Summit doesn’t change anything. I don’t have to be in Sky at all times,” he shrugged, “I am the Boss. I call the shots. I love this place. So, I will continue taking my salary from you. Also, Ai would be frequently coming here for her own work. Naturally, I will be there where my girlfriend is. I have two strong reasons to be here so you better not fire me because I will fight for my employee rights,” he sneered.

Mrs. Quan teared up as she covered her mouth. “Jun, you are so cute…”

Ai nodded hard. “I always tell him that, but he always gets angry.”

“He is an Idiot! Ignore him,” she harrumphed.

Jun banged his palm in distaste. “I am not cute! Hey! Stop crying like that. Ai…why are you getting emotional?” He was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Quan hugged him hard and pinched his cheeks, “I cannot help it. You are so cute that my heart cannot bear it. To hear that you want to keep working here makes me really happy…” she wiped her eyes, “I didn’t want to see you leave, but you are the CEO and have so many responsibilities. How could I be selfish?”

Jun sighed.

These women…

He hugged her back and patted her head. “Okay. No more tears. Cheer up with the gift we have brought for you.”

Her expression was elevated with joy, and she quickly forgot all her sadness. “You brought a gift for me? Where is it?”

Jun sneered. “Your tears dried up too soon, Mrs. Quan. Suddenly, I feel cheated.”

Her mouth twitched. She coughed and ignored him. “A-Ai, why don’t you show me the gift, dear?”

It was a beautiful traditional silk cheongsam dress, fitting for Mrs. Quan age with light floral design on it. She touched the fabric and drew in a deep breath. “This is so pretty. But it must be so expensive! Why did you spend so much money?”

Ai shook her head. “It’s nothing against your kindness.”

Jun squinted his eyes. “You better not resist. Your assistant is quite capable and loaded with cash. Use it as much as you want.”

“You…” Mrs. Quan took the dress with trembling hands. She whispered, “Thank you so much. It’s really beautiful.”

They nodded, pleased and satisfied. When they went up to the third floor, they expected for a peaceful day to pass as they worked and maybe a bit of flirting here and there but as soon as the patrons saw them coming, they rushed towards them in full swing.

“Oh my God! You are MissImperfectlyFine, right?”

“You are the winner of the Author Summit!”

“And he is Sky CEO! Oh God, I cannot believe I met them here!”

“The CEO and the author are together!”

“MissImperfectlyFine, your story was wonderful!”

“It brought tears to my eyes…”

“I cannot wait for the continuation!”

“Please give me your autograph. I have become your fan!”

“Me too!”

Ai was suddenly and completely surrounded on all sides to her shock. The patrons wanted to surround Jun too, but seeing him leak a dark and displeased aura made them side with Ai even more.

Jun was naturally happy seeing Ai get the attention she deserved, but he disliked their quiet and flirty time would be compromised.
