The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 837: These Two People, Speaking in Exactly the Same Tone

The message above that was her response to my question about how much she thinks she could score on the college entrance exam.

points? Is that a score ordinary people dare to estimate for the gaokao?

If you said that out loud, you might get beaten up.

But Nathalie Quinlan...she really has the credentials to estimate a perfect score!

Sadam Vinson scrolled back to the message he sent to Amadeus Yancey five minutes ago, essentially asking for an estimated score.

Amadeus replied just two minutes before.

[Estimation? Full marks.]

Tch, this power couple is truly impressive!

Govert Griffin, seeing he didn’t reply, didn’t continue asking either. He picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip while looking down, then gazed out at the congested flow of cars and suddenly blurted out as if he recalled something, "Right, the gaokao is in the next two days. Ms. Quinlan is also taking it this year, isn’t she?"

He was quite worried. "I don’t know how well Ms. Quinlan is prepared."

At this, Sadam Vinson lifted his head, placed his phone on the table, and cocked a devil-may-care smirk, "Don’t worry about her. Someone who can rank first in the Tsinghua University Joint Entrance Exam, just what’s there to worry about for the gaokao?"

"Also true." Govert Griffin, emboldened by his reassurance, nodded and then, not quite understanding, looked up and asked, "Mr. Vinson, if you’re not too concerned about Ms. Quinlan’s gaokao, then why did you ask me to have breakfast so early today?"

Usually, on a day without any plans, Sadam Vinson would sleep until noon since he would definitely stay up late playing games the night before.

His early rise today was definitely out of the ordinary!

Caught off guard by the question, Sadam Vinson was momentarily at a loss for words. How could he possibly admit that he had set an alarm to get up early just to send Nathalie Quinlan a message to cheer her on? After quite a long time, he finally responded, "The plan for one’s day starts with the morning. Can’t I get up to bask in the morning sun?"

Govert Griffin, sharp as a tack and now fully awake after nearly half an hour at the Imperial Hotel, realized he had inadvertently hit the nail on the head upon hearing this. He smiled, his friendly face beaming as he said, "Oh, here I thought you were worried that Ms. Quinlan might be nervous about her gaokao, hence why you got up early to give her a call."

Sadam Vinson: "..."

After replying to Sadam Vinson’s message, Nathalie Quinlan went downstairs.

Audrick Zachmann had already been eagerly waiting. Seeing her descend, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, you finally got up. I thought you’d sleep till eight."

Nathalie Quinlan was dressed in a black sweater today, with jeans below and a pair of black canvas shoes on her feet. She didn’t wear a hat but had pulled up the hoodie to reveal just her sharp chin, making her look both beautiful and cool.

She pulled out a chair next to Audrick, sat down with a calm demeanor, and said, "Yeah, I was actually planning on that."

Audrick: ...

She was planning to sleep until eight and then go straight to the examination hall???

This is the gaokao we’re talking about, and she’s not nervous at all???

Nathalie Quinlan truly wasn’t nervous. Her beautiful eyes were sleepily half-closed as she crossed her long, straight legs with a restless expression. Once she sat down, she took her time eating a piece of bread.

Amadeus had by now finished replying to messages, put down his phone, and walked over to set a hot mug of milk in front of the girl, his voice low and sultry, "Have some milk in the morning to keep the sleepiness at bay."

Nathalie Quinlan lifted her eyelashes to give him a sluggish look, as if pondering the connection between milk and sleepiness, but she obediently picked up the mug and took a sip of milk anyway.
