Novel Full 222 He is my boyfriend
Ai wasn’t used to this attention, and she found her heart drumming faster. There were people asking for her autograph and expressing how much they liked her story. She saw the joy in their eyes and the anticipation to read the continuation of her short story. She hadn’t experienced this intimacy with her readers in her past life, nor got the chance to make her place in their hearts as a good writer.
She had received congratulatory messages on Reading Point and in the writing community, but this was the first time that she was personally meeting her readers and watching their love for her with her own eyes.
“Th-thank you…” It was sudden and she didn’t have the time to prepare her heart, but she was doing the best she could.
Jun was amused to see her flustered. He folded his arms and lifted his brow. When she saw her looking back at him, he eyed as if saying, ‘Hoooo…somebody is popular now~’
Ai coughed and blushed.
Though Jun lamented the loss of his beautiful time with her in the library, it wasn’t as important as watching Ai as the center of everyone’s attention.
He smiled.
My girlfriend deserves it. A lot. I will make you popular, Ai. The best writer in the whole world. All that fame and recognition you deserved in the past life but never got…you will have a hundred folds in this life. I will make sure of it!.
On the other side, the excited crowd was already taking their pen and notebooks out for Ai to sign.
“Please sign, MissImperfectlyFine! I will frame it on my wall.”
“Tell me when your next book will be ready! I will pre-order it!”
“I have read your other books, and they are so good too!”
“But I must admit that your short story is even better. I can see your style has improved so much.”
“I am so glad I came to know about you!”
Ai’s little heart burst with joy with all the appreciation. The Summit was the first step towards her successful career, and she couldn’t feel happier seeing the results in front of her.
She signed on the books one by one with a soft but bright smile on her lips. “Thank you for liking my work.”
The crowd stared at her in a daze.
So…so cute!
Damn, I am falling for her and I am a woman! How can this be? But she is so pretty…
Jun observed the starstruck expressions on everybody’s faces and gritted his teeth
Hey, back off! She is mine. Keep your admiration to yourself. Don’t fall in love with her!
One of the young college going students cleared her throat and asked, wanting to satisfy her curiosity, “So, so! What is your relationship with the Sky CEO? I have seen you together here a few times here and even in the Summit, he personally came to invite you! Oh gosh I cannot believe that the assistant librarian was a CEO all this time! This is what we call a real twist, hehe~”
The question hit the nail on the head that was on everybody’s minds. The whole world might not know but those who frequented the library had seen Jun and Ai together many times, and now Ai was a part of Sky. They couldn’t help but want to dive deeper into the nature of their relationship.
Jun’s sharp ears didn’t fail to catch the question.
Damn, we didn’t talk about that part…
He wasn’t sure if Ai wanted to disclose their relationship to everyone. He had no problems with it but parallely, he was thinking about Ai’s career too. He didn’t want her to have a negative reputation because she was dating the CEO. Though she won the Summit by her own merits, there were still people who would question their relationship and the connection to her win.
Jun didn’t wish Ai to suffer any of that. Otherwise, there would be a bunch of corpses lying around. So until Ai’s career would become more stable and people would judge her by her work rather than her relationship, he thought of putting off that announcement on hold. But he was yet to discuss that with Ai.
Jun took a step forward and was about to speak when Ai answered the question herself, “He is my boyfriend.”
Jun froze, watching her with his jaw dropping.
The patrons gasped in disbelief. “You admitted it…?”
Ai blinked. “What is there not to admit in it? Jun and I are dating.”
His jaw dropped even further, and his mind went blank.
Hey wait a second. Aren’t we supposed to hide things here? Though we were yet to discuss…
Everybody broke into loud cheers and squeals. “Oh God! So it’s really true. I was just really guessing…”
“Congratulations! You two look so good together.”
“You two will be working together. That’s so cool.”
Ai beamed and thanked them. She was suddenly pulled out of the crowd by Jun, making everybody speechless.
Where are you taking her?
One of them coughed. “I think we are taking too much of their time.”
“He is jealous of us? Ahhh that’s so cute!” One giggled.
“For now. It won’t be cute anymore if he throws us out. Let’s quickly go our way.”
They agreed and dispersed to do their own work.
Jun took her in one corner and anxiously asked, “Are you sure of admitting our relationship? I don’t want it to affect your career or people pointing their fingers at you.”
Ai studied the genuine concern in his eyes and smiled. “I don’t want to hide our relationship, Jun. We are not doing anything wrong. Just because you are the CEO and I work in Sky doesn’t mean that we cannot date. There is no such rule and even if there might be, I don’t agree with it. Our relationship and career are separate. I don’t want us to compromise on either. Why can we not have both?” She questioned. “I want to have a good career but with you, not by hiding you from everyone.”
