Chapter 55 Confession: Do you know that I like you? ...
"Sorry, I'm afraid that won't work."
Hearing Shen Qingzhu's refusal, Mia burst into tears and asked Shen Qingzhu with a sad face, "Why not? Do you already have someone you like?"
Ji Mingxue's face suddenly flashed through Shen Qingzhu's mind, which made him suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, but he still shook his head gently, "It has nothing to do with this."
"Mia, I can feel that you don't really like me."
This time Shen Qingzhu did not choose to be tactful, because he knew that if he did not reject her outright, Mia would definitely have another trick up her sleeve.
Hearing Shen Qingzhu's words, Mia was slightly startled, and then she put away her disguise in an instant, and just smiled and winked at Shen Qingzhu, "You actually figured it out."
"But I'm curious, how did you find the flaw?"
Somehow, this question made Shen Qingzhu think of Ji Mingxue again, and the other person's focused and passionate gaze when she looked at him.
Shen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, saying softly, "It's the way you look at me."
Mia is also a smart person. After hearing what he said, she immediately understood where her weakness was.
However, "Doesn't Alpha always not care about these things?"
Mia shrugged slightly. "Compared to whether I really like them, those Alphas in the past cared more about my status as an S-class Omega and the Lawrence family behind me."
The Lawrence family is one of the ten great families in the empire. Although Mia is from a side branch, she is still sought after by many Alphas.
Shen Qingzhu smiled but said nothing.
This surprised Mia a little, because, "Your self-restraint is really as good as the rumors say."
"If other Alphas knew that I had fooled them, they would probably be immediately furious."
"Unlike you, you can still talk to me so calmly."
Shen Qingzhu had no way of responding to this and could only continue to smile.
Seeing that he did not take the opportunity to step on other Alphas, Mia's evaluation of Shen Qingzhu became higher and her attitude towards Shen Qingzhu became much more sincere.
She smiled and said to Shen Qingzhu, "Actually, my elders like you very much, so they keep urging me to take the initiative with you and try to bring you home."
Shen Qingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank them for my kindness."
"However," thinking of Mia in the original world and the situation of Mia in this world that he had observed during this period, Shen Qingzhu said in a gentle voice, "Compared to Alpha, I think you are more interested in politics and economics."
"Most of the research topics you initiated during this period are also related to this."
Mia was startled and looked at Shen Qingzhu in surprise, "You are very careful and perceptive."
Speaking of topics of interest, Mia also became interested. "Because I was born in the Lawrence family, when I was still in the arms of the nanny robot, I began to listen to the elders in my family discussing national affairs. Indeed, I have been very interested in the field of politics and economics since I was a child."
"Before my second differentiation, I had already decided to apply to the Faculty of Economics at the Imperial University."
"But who made me differentiate into an Omega later? An S-level Omega at that."
"After that, the family didn't allow me to get involved in this matter. They just told me to study the 'bride course' at the Royal Omega Academy. When I was old enough, I would marry an Alpha and become a pampered lady."
By the end of her speech, Mia's excitement had completely faded, and she was filled with resentment and disappointment.
Shen Qingzhu listened patiently while Mia said this.
Only after she finished speaking did Shen Qingzhu ask softly, "What do you think?"
Mia was stunned. "My own thoughts? What thoughts can I have?"
She smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I originally had some assets under my name, and I had been using them to practice before the second differentiation. But since I differentiated into an Omega, the family temporarily froze my assets and didn't allow me to fiddle with them anymore, saying that it wasn't something an Omega should do."
Shen Qingzhu didn't really understand this, because, "As far as I know, at the Royal Omega Academy, family asset allocation and management is a compulsory course."
Mia smiled self-deprecatingly, "But in the eyes of many people, the ultimate goal of Omegas taking these courses is to serve their Alphas well."
But it was obvious that neither Shen Qingzhu nor Mia agreed with this.
Especially since Mia does have excellent political and economic acumen and talent.
It would be a waste of talent to bury Mia just because of her Omega identity.
Shen Qingzhu then carefully said what he was thinking, "Then do you want to try and work for me?"
Mia was startled when she heard this, but she suddenly became interested. "What do you want me to do?"
Shen Qingzhu smiled and said, "I currently have some assets under my name, and I am in need of an asset manager."
This time Mia was really surprised by him.
Because, "I'm an Omega! I don't have any professional experience in managing other people's assets!"
"Shen Qingzhu, you are taking a risk!"
Mia was obviously quite excited, because this was really too outrageous!
How dare Shen Qingzhu? !
Shen Qingzhu just smiled and said nothing, because this was not a sudden idea that came to him, but in his original world, the person in charge of the management of his assets was Mia.
It is precisely because Shen Qingzhu has cooperated with Mia for several years and her assets have increased hundreds of times under Mia's management that she trusts Mia's abilities so much.
And according to his recent observations, there is almost no difference between Mia in this world and Mia in his original world.
Of course Shen Qingzhu didn't want to miss his butler just like that.
"It has nothing to do with being an Omega, Beta or Alpha."
"What I value is your ability."
"However, my current assets are still very small, and I may not be able to provide you with too many disposable resources."
Seeing that Shen Qingzhu was serious and had no intention of joking or teasing her, Mia gradually regained her composure, but still couldn't help asking, "Do you really want me to try?"
"What if I lose all your assets?"
Shen Qingzhu smiled slightly, "If that's the case, then you must have done it on purpose."
"Before you officially take office, we must of course sign an agreement with equal rights and obligations."
"You can go back and think about it first."
"If you agree, I will ask a lawyer to draw up a contract."
…
After a long talk with Mia, Shen Qingzhu looked at the time and it was almost the time he and Ji Mingxue had agreed upon.
Shen Qingzhu rented a hoverboard directly from the roadside and headed to the military academy under the colorful clouds in the sky.
After arriving at the military academy, Shen Qingzhu pushed open the door of the pheromone resistance training room with ease.
As soon as I entered the door, I sensed a strong sense of low pressure.
At the same time, someone was walking quickly towards him a few steps away.
It’s Ji Mingxue.
Ji Mingxue was so fast that before Shen Qingzhu could see his face clearly, Ji Mingxue had already rushed in front of him.
The distance was too close for Shen Qingzhu. He stepped back reflexively, but his back soon hit the door.
At the same time, a hand with distinct joints, as if carved from jade, suddenly placed itself beside Shen Qingzhu's ear.
Because he used too much force, the wind created by the hand even slightly lifted up the slightly curly long hair beside Shen Qingzhu's ear, and it fell on the side of his neck, which was a bit itchy.
Shen Qingzhu didn't notice the itch at all at this moment. He just instantly erected a thin mental barrier between himself and Ji Mingxue. He also deliberately bypassed Ji Mingxue's hand that was pressing on him against the wall to prevent Ji Mingxue from getting hurt.
After that, Shen Qingzhu let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm his heartbeat that was trembling violently due to the sudden approach, and then he looked at Ji Mingxue.
Because he took good care of himself during this period, in just less than three months, Shen Qingzhu grew 4cm taller and is now 185cm tall.
Ji Mingxue is still 181cm tall.
Because of this, when they were so close, Ji Mingxue actually tilted her head slightly.
This caused the loose hair on Ji Mingxue's cheeks to fall back, revealing her fair and plump forehead, and her eyes that sparkled as if they were burning with fire.
The dissatisfaction in his eyes was too obvious.
Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but be stunned, because this was the first time he saw such strong dissatisfaction towards him in Ji Mingxue's eyes.
Shen Qingzhu tilted his head slightly to think for a moment, then asked in a gentle voice, "Did I do anything wrong?"
Ji Mingxue is not the type of person who likes to sulk.
When he gets angry, he usually has an outburst on the spot.
Although he was very clear that he and Shen Qingzhu were nothing at the moment and he had no right to question the other party, Ji Mingxue became furious whenever he thought of the moment half an hour ago when he saw Shen Qingzhu and Mia standing together from the sky while driving a mecha.
He stared at Shen Qingzhu with burning eyes and asked him in a deep voice, "What were you doing half an hour ago?"
Although it was a bit rude to think so, at this moment, Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt that he was a bit like a husband who was caught cheating.
The tips of her ears suddenly turned even redder.
But he still answered the question in a good-tempered manner, "Half an hour ago, I was discussing work issues with an Omega senior."
Ji Mingxue was startled. "Discuss work?"
Shen Qingzhu responded softly, turned her head slightly to look at Ji Mingxue's hand against her face, and said softly, "Can we not do this? I'm a little uncomfortable."
"Oh, sorry."
Ji Mingxue immediately withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and stepped back to give Shen Qingzhu space to move freely.
Shen Qingzhu then took a deep breath and walked towards the sofa for rest.
Behind him, Ji Mingxue finally realized what had happened and felt a little uneasy. She asked Mingfeng in a low voice, "Did I scare him just now?"
Mingfeng only gave him a helpless sigh and let him experience it himself.
Ji Mingxue knew that her performance just now seemed to be very bad.
No matter how good-tempered Shen Qingzhu is, she would still feel a little uncomfortable if she was suddenly pushed against the wall, right?
Also, when he asked Shen Qingzhu questions just now, he seemed a bit fierce?
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxue became even more depressed, feeling that he had ruined a good hand of cards.
He had clearly felt in the morning that Shen Qingzhu's attitude towards him seemed to have softened. Why didn't he control himself just now and did such a bad thing?
After sitting down on the sofa, Shen Qingzhu originally thought that Ji Mingxue would follow, but when he looked up, he saw Ji Mingxue still standing at the door, looking depressed, as if he didn't dare to come over.
A smile suddenly appeared in Shen Qingzhu's eyes, and he called out in a gentle voice, "Ji Mingxue."
Ji Mingxue immediately raised his eyes and responded obediently.
Shen Qingzhu pointed to the other side of the sofa, "Want to chat?"
Ji Mingxue's eyes lit up and he quickly sat down at the place Shen Qingzhu pointed.
After sitting down, Ji Mingxue realized that there was about two body lengths of space between him and Shen Qingzhu, so much so that he couldn't even reach her with his arms outstretched.
This is the standard social distance between Alpha and Omega.
Ji Mingxue pursed her lips subconsciously, feeling a little uneasy.
Shen Qingzhu didn't seem to notice his uneasiness, and calmly told him about what happened between him and Mia in detail.
He didn't tell Ji Mingxue about Mia's confession to him because he was sure that Mia didn't like him and he was also worried that Ji Mingxue would think too much.
Therefore, he only said that he and Mia met in the practical class of "Introduction to Imperial Sociology" and were in the same practical group. He also said that Mia had a keen sense of economics and that he wanted to hire her as an asset manager.
Shen Qingzhu's voice was gentle and his attitude was frank.
By the end, Ji Mingxue had even forgotten that she was jealous of Mia, and was only immersed in Shen Qingzhu's voice, which was as gentle and warm as a spring breeze.
"That's how it is."
After talking about himself and Mia, Shen Qingzhu looked at Ji Mingxue with a smile and asked him, "Are you still angry?"
Ji Mingxue's heart suddenly started beating rapidly, and she felt that Shen Qingzhu had teased her again.
This feeling of being neither up nor down is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Ji Mingxue has decided to make everything clear.
He was completely sure that Shen Qingzhu was not indifferent to him.
Otherwise, after being pushed against the wall and then rudely questioned by him, it would be impossible for Shen Qingzhu to sit here and talk to him so calmly.
Despite this, Ji Mingxue still rolled her Adam's apple nervously before speaking.
He pressed down on the sofa between them, leaned forward slightly, stared at Shen Qingzhu's face, and asked softly, "Do you care if I'm angry?"
"You explained so much to me about you and that Omega."
"Shen Qingzhu, do you already know?"
He looked into Shen Qingzhu's eyes with burning eyes.
Deeply captured by those bright golden eyes, Shen Qingzhu's heart beat fast, but his face remained calm. He just smiled and asked softly, "What do you know?"
Ji Mingxue couldn't help laughing.
He looks really good when he smiles.
Beautiful and brilliant, like bright clouds.
Even Shen Qingzhu was slightly distracted.
Shen Qingzhu heard Ji Mingxue say, "Shen Qingzhu, do you already know that I like you?"
When he finished speaking, Ji Mingxue had already crawled along the sofa to a position only an arm's length away from Shen Qingzhu. She nodded slightly with pride and brightness and smiled at him.
He really looks like a little leopard with snow-white fur.
It seemed as if there was a tail wagging proudly behind him.
He was obviously such a bright and charming beauty, but at this moment, Shen Qingzhu only thought that he was extremely cute.
The knuckles wrapped in the snow-white gloves moved slightly, Shen Qingzhu closed his eyes as if in compromise, and responded with almost a sigh.
"Yes, I know."
