Charlie had casually inquired about Mia (Liu Manqiong)’s current situation through Lin Waner (ni). However, when Mia (Liu Manqiong) revealed it herself, Charlie feigned surprise and asked, “When did you start working at Aurous Hill University?” Mia (Liu Manqiong) feltpelled to exin.
“Well… Aurous Hill University has a youth talent introduction program. I applied and was invited for an interview, and I ended up passing,” Mia (Liu Manqiong) admitted, her voice tinged with anxiety, like a child caught in a misdeed by their parents.
Charlie realized that her move to Aurous Hill was likely influenced by him.<fn1b87> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find?Novel</fn1b87>
Despite this, he chose to act oblivious and remarked, “While Aurous Hill University may not be as prestigious as Hong Kong Ind University, it’s still a solid institution.” Mia (Liu Manqiong) nodded slightly and, looking at Charlie, stammered, “I… I think it’s quite good, too…”
Lin Wan’er (ni), who seemed to just regain her focus, rubbed her head and asked in surprise, “Sister Manqiong, do you know this guy?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Mia (Liu Manqiong) quickly replied, “Yes… we’re friends…”
Lin Wan’er (ni) eximed, “What a coincidence!”
Mia (Liu Manqiong) nodded awkwardly in agreement, saying, “Yes… it’s a coincidence…”
Lin Wan’er (ni) turned to Charlie and introduced herself, “Hi, I’m Lin Wan’er (ni). May I ask your name?”
Charlie replied casually, “Myst name is Wade, and my first name is Charlie.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled, “Nice to meet you, Brother Charlie.”
Charlie returned the smile but couldn’t help thinking, “It seems that Lin Wan’er (ni) might not remember me.” Nevertheless, with Mia (Liu Manqiong) present, he refrained from questioning Lin Wan’er (ni) further. Instead, he said, “Oh, right, my sister is still waiting for me. I’ll head over now. Let’s find a time that works for you, and I’ll treat you both to a meal.”
Mia (Liu Manqiong) felt a rush of shyness and embarrassment at being put on the spot, yet when Charlie offered to take her out, she quickly agreed, “I’m free most evenings! What time do you finish work?”
Mia (Liu Manqiong) replied, “Around six o’clock.”
“Alright,” Charlie nodded, “I’ll pick you up at six then?”
Even though Mia (Liu Manqiong) had her own car, she still nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at the entrance, and we can call.”
Understanding that he couldn’t continue to question Lin Wan’er (ni) with Mia (Liu Manqiong) there, Charlie concluded, “Sounds good, you two can chat for now. I’ll take my leave.”
