The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 446: Are you going for a sunny youthful look today?_1

Zayn Fisher couldn’t wait to move away from this topic either; he was just as restless but hadn’t found an opportunity to interject with Zeus Tanzil yet, so now that he’d found an excuse, he immediately grabbed Stewin Hoffman and said in a low voice, "Let’s not stand here anymore, let’s go eat, we’ll talk over food."

Outside of Tsinghua University, the road was lined with rows of lush camphor trees. In the golden month of October, the camphor trees were dense with branches and leaves. A light breeze stirred them, causing speckles of sunlight to filter through the swaying leaves, relaxing both body and mind.

As Nathalie Quinlan left Tsinghua University, she saw the Hongqi car parked on the road.

The black body of the car was extremely low-key, and if one didn’t pay close attention, they wouldn’t recognize the brand, but passersby couldn’t help but take a few extra glances when they saw the license plate.

After replying to Shawn Norton’s message, Nathalie put her phone away and looked up to see the car window rolling down. Alfred Garland leaned out from inside and greeted her warmly, "Ms. Quinlan, over here!"

Nathalie, massaging her temples, hurried over.

Her hand had not yet reached the car door when it opened from the inside.

"Finished with your exam?" Just hearing his voice without seeing the person, one could imagine how dangerously charming the owner of the voice must be!

A wave of irritation surged inside Nathalie, and she nodded, "Yeah, just finished."

She bent over to get into the car first, casually closing the car door behind her and resting her elbow on the window ledge before finally seeing the man seated beside her.

Amadeus Yancey had left early in the morning, and she hadn’t paid attention to what he was wearing. Only after getting into the car did she see that he was dressed in a khaki jacket paired with a white T-shirt today—clean, sharp, and casually understated. Coupled with his pale complexion and three-dimensional, handsome facial features, he looked a lot like the college students she ran into on the Tsinghua University campus.

Nathalie was silent for two seconds, then half-closed her eyes, tempering the rebellious spark within them, and asked nonchalantly, "...are you going for a youthful vibe today?"

Alfred, who was driving in front, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, bluntly commenting, "Ms. Quinlan, if you think Amadeus is trying to look younger, just say so, no need to put it so delicately. Hahaha, youthful vibe... uh..."

He was laughing so hard that tears nearly formed when suddenly he noticed a fierce glare from the rearview mirror.

His boisterous laughter instantly froze on his face, followed by a hiccup of laughter as his muscles twitched involuntarily. He had probably gotten a little too carried away!

"Amadeus, that’s not what I meant. Just pretend I’m not here, pretend I don’t exist..."

Alfred shrank his neck, trying to minimize his presence, but inwardly, he was laughing merrily.

It’s because Amadeus is trying to look younger!

Imagine a lion dressed in cute clothes, doesn’t the idea seem a bit preposterous?

Amadeus is clearly as vigorous as a lion, but to please Ms. Quinlan, he insists on grooming himself to resemble a kitty—wasn’t he making it hard for himself?

Besides, he figured Ms. Quinlan wasn’t the type who preferred cats anyway.

If Ms. Quinlan likes someone younger, it’s the young boys with chubby little faces when they’re 5 years old. That kind of youthful charm!

That kind of cuteness you can’t fake!

Amadeus was overthinking it a bit!

He sneaked glances at the two through the rearview mirror, not daring to be as overt as before, and quickly looked away after stealing a couple of peeks.

...

Nathalie had merely commented on his change in style for the day with no other intention. After a half second of silence and feeling a bit irritated, she clarified dryly, "I meant that the clothes look good on you."

"..."

To make her words more believable, Nathalie looked at his eyes, nodding emphatically as she repeated, "They’re alright!"
