Chapter 686: Shocking Twist

Cecilia Vaughn saw the man’s face getting closer and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, survival instincts kicking in!

…

Heavens, she really got carried away otherwise why would she brag about receiving love letters to Adrian Law?!

Cecilia hurriedly coughed twice, tugging at Adrian’s sleeve with a flattering face.

“Adrian, that’s all in the past. If you think like that, remember you’re called the nation’s husband on Weibo. I didn’t mind all those girls admiring you. Why are you minding about me?”

“Are online admirers the same as classmates confessing face-to-face?”

Adrian glanced at Cecilia coolly, with an air of coldness practically oozing out.

Cecilia’s arm trembled a bit, but she still nervously clung to Adrian’s sleeve, blinking fervently, reaching peak bootlicking.

“Of course they’re the same; online fans like you but they also have real identities.”

“Classmates might be a bit closer, but if there’s no fate, isn’t it just strangers passing by?”

…

“Don’t you feel guilty saying that?”

Adrian reached out and knocked heavily on Cecilia’s head.

“Tell me, how did you respond when you received that senior’s love letter?”

Seeing Cecilia’s lips twitch, clearly thinking of an excuse, Adrian snorted coldly.

“If you lie, the consequences will be worse. Don’t think of fooling me.”

“…”

This strict?

Cecilia pitifully fiddled with her fingers, heavens, she never thought of lying, at most she hoped to gloss it over, divert Adrian’s attention elsewhere!

Is a white lie even a lie?

It’s all love!

Eh…

The more she thought, the more she felt she had the potential to become a scumbag. What should she do?

Cecilia internally grumbled, seeing Adrian’s dark eyes, she dared not be clever.

“I… how else could I refuse? The other party was a girl, plus I was in my sophomore year, she was a senior, almost graduating. I couldn’t be too harsh, right?”

“So?”

Upon hearing Cecilia’s words, Adrian immediately sneered.

“Did you refuse her by saying you were with Tyson Law back then?”

“…”

Why did Tyson get dragged into this again?

It’s truly annoying; she shouldn’t have bragged about love letter confessions!

During high school, since Cecilia was not in the same class as Fiona Vaughn and had excellent grades, although not very outgoing, even a bit aloof, she was never that aloof, uniquely proud young lady. Sometimes when classmates had questions, she would patiently help them.

Of course, since Tyson was her boyfriend, he didn’t allow Cecilia to tutor boys, so all beneficiaries were girls.

Therefore, in high school, Cecilia was quite popular among the girls.

Firstly, she was already taken, and most knew Tyson was with her, meaning Cecilia wouldn’t entertain other boys.

Secondly, Cecilia was very self-disciplined, and her excellent grades were a plus. Even if she wasn’t overly friendly to everyone, she wasn’t the treacherous type either, silently gathering a small following.

…

Cecilia met that senior at a math competition. After the test, Cecilia noticed the senior’s skirt was stained with blood—a sign of her period.

So, Cecilia kindly gave her long-sleeve shirt to cover it up as a makeshift skirt.

Later, there was a school-hosted event they both joined, where Cecilia unknowingly won her heart by helping with her speech draft.

…

There is an obnoxious saying in this world, it’s roughly “Is it my fault for being handsome and rich?” maybe it applies to girls too.

Cecilia being beautiful and excellent, was that her fault?

At that time, Cecilia and Tyson were silently fighting, on the verge of breaking up. All girls need coaxing, and Tyson was proud, not looking for Cecilia for a week. The senior knew and assumed they had broken up, thus probing Cecilia’s feelings.

Cecilia was bewildered, utterly confused.

The senior had long flowing hair, a sweet first-love face loved by boys, somewhat similar to Fiona Vaughn but very different in personality.

The two got along, and Cecilia even brought the senior for a meal with her brother, where the senior was doting on Evan Vaughn. Cecilia initially thought she was confessing to her brother, but instead, it played out this way.

She was ready with the excuse that Evan was too young and should focus on his studies, which now seemed useless.

Cecilia could only smile awkwardly but politely refuse.

——Thank you for liking me, but, I might still prefer boys.

Cecilia had no intention of looking down on homosexuality. On the contrary, she deeply respected everyone’s sexual orientation. She never thought she’d attract a girl’s affection; after knowing, she felt no shame or desire to mock the other party, just hoping to decline gently.

After all, there was no spark.

…

“So, that’s how you rejected her?”

Adrian’s eyes flashed, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

“If I were that girl, I’d surely reply, ‘You’ve never tried dating a girl; how do you know there’s no feeling?'”

“…”

Boss, isn’t your thinking too brilliant?!

Cecilia clasped her hands to Adrian.

“Admire, admire. Weren’t you just jealous of a rival? Why help them think tricks now?”

“It won’t happen anyway.”

Adrian commented lightly.

Cecilia, intrigued by Adrian’s guidance, suddenly had an interest.

“Adrian, if I were a guy, would you like me? Doesn’t the internet say, liking someone isn’t about gender but about you being the one that moves me.”

“Hard to say.”

Adrian pondered but ultimately couldn’t conclude.

“How about this, I’ll get some female clothing for you, and I’ll see if I can fall for a female version of you.”

Seeing the eager anticipation in Cecilia’s eyes, Adrian directly pressed her hand down.

“Bold now? Daring to touch the tiger’s whiskers?”

“If you dress as a girl, I can dress as a guy!”

Cecilia protested, but Adrian coolly refused.

“A six-foot-three girl would be a Hulk Barbie; you dressing as a guy next to me would look like a second-rate limp.”

“…”

Such brutality in this twist!

Cecilia visualized the scene and found it too overwhelmingly beautiful to look at!

Is it her fault she’s short?

Watch me jump up and hit your knee!
