Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 24 Testing Zhou Ai

Chapter 24 Testing Zhou Ai

The next day.

Jian and Nian at the moment - "..."

They investigated a bit about Ai and found that she would go to the public library everyday. But the problem was that they saw Jun as the assistant librarian just when they were about to step in.

Jian cursed. "The fuck! What is Jun doing here? Why is he working as the assistant librarian?"

Nian was just as speechless. "Wasn't he working for his publishing company with Yunru?"

Chen Yunru was their cousin. Their fathers, Liu Jinhai and Chen Jianyu were cousins themselves while their wives Liu Nana and Chen Serena were best friends and step sisters too with a complicated history behind it which didn't matter anymore.

"Yeah, it is Sky Publishing. So, why is he doing this job?"

"Hey, wait a minute. Jin met him a few days ago, but he didn't say anything about this!"

Jian frowned. "He said something about Jun not feeling a bit well, so maybe he didn't get to ask about it. But the question is what we will do now? We cannot approach her if that demon is over there."

The twins exchanged glances.

"Well, then a little bit of makeup is our only option."

"This is actually good. We will get to see if Jun is close to this woman and then report to Shui."

They laughed like two evil villains in a movie.

A while later, the twins stepped in and sat near Ai. Some high school and college girls who were doing their assignments gasped speechless with their entrance.

S-So handsome! _{who are these Godly beauties!}

Ahh, I wanna sit near them.

They are just as handsome as the assistant librarian!

Jun stared at the two new entries for a moment and went back to his work.

Nian whispered, "Jun didn't recognize us."

"Heh. Nobody can recognize us when we disguise ourselves," Jian smirked.

"Ugh, but the women are staring at us."

He sighed. "It's not our fault if our beauty leaks through our disguise too."

They saw Ai quietly reading her book. Sometime later, she got up and Jian signaled his brother.

Nian casually got up and followed her. He approached her and coughed. Ai turned. She stared at him for a few moments.

The man was extremely handsome without a doubt. He had a good sense of fashion, and she figured he was rich as she saw him wearing an expensive watch. His shoes belonged to a popular brand too.

"Yes?"

"Can you please help me find where the classics section is?" He flashed a charming smile that would make any woman faint.

She nodded and pointed towards her right. "Over there."

"Thanks."

She promptly went back to her own work, and Nian went back to his seat.

"What happened?" Jian eagerly asked.

He squinted his eyes. "She acted normal. Not like these women squealing at us. She didn't even extend the conversation."

"She definitely figured that we are rich, right?"

"Of course. Even a blind man would figure it out. But she looked unfazed. Or pretended to be."

Hmm…

Then sometime later, a girl shyly approached Ai and coughed.

"Yes?" Ai looked up.

"I-If it's not too much trouble, can you switch seats with me?"

The twins's ears perked at their conversation.

Hah! She wants to sit near us, but would this woman let her?

Jian whispered, "She definitely won't allow her."

Ai nodded, picked her belongings and moved. She didn't even question the girl about the reason behind switching the seats. _?

The twins - "..."

"Thank you so much!" The girl beamed.

"Hey is she playing hard-to-get?" Jian wondered.

"We will know it soon enough."

Throughout the day, they didn't see Jun and Ai interacting much. It passed by without triggering any suspicion regarding Ai's possible ambiguous feelings for Jun.

"Ahh man it's so boring to be at the library for the whole day!"

Jian shrugged. "For Shui's sake, we have to do it. We would drive away all the pests around our brother!"

The first day ended, and the second day of their trial arrived. This time, Jian took the lead and approached her. Nian casually pushed Ai and made her stumble.

Jian quickly caught her in his arms and gently asked in a concerned voice, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Ai shook her head. "No. Thank you for the help," she sincerely thanked him.

He thought she would look a little bit shy and flustered, but it wasn't the case at all.

He waved his hand. "No probs. By the way," he brought his hand forward, "I am Jian."

Ai shook his hand. "Zhou Ai."

"That's a beautiful name. Ai means love. It indeed suits you."

She smiled. "Thank you."

"Oh by the way, he is my brother, Nian."

"You remember you helped me yesterday?" He grinned.

"Of course."

"Ah, it's so difficult. We are doing our post-graduation project, and it's so hard with these books."

Nian sighed. "This library makes me dizzy."

Ai listened to their chitter-chatter and interjected whenever required.

"If you need my help, I can organize some books for you."

They beamed. "You will? Thanks a ton! You are such a great help!"

Nian whispered, "Speaking about help, who is that assistant librarian? Doesn't he look too out of place?"

Ai blinked. "Why?"

"Well with that looks and aura, he definitely seems to be a rich guy, right?"

Ai thought back to how lavish his condo was and nodded.

"See? It looks so odd that a rich guy like him is working as an assistant."

"There is nothing odd about it. He likes books, and if this is his choice, then he has every right to do what he likes. Your hobby doesn't have any connection with your bank balance."

The twins widened their eyes and stared at her.

Jian probed. "Hmm, you are right. I can see the girls swooning over him like anything. Well, it's not a shocker."

"Indeed."

The twins found their chance.

"Soooo…" Nian leaned his palm on the shelf and teasingly smiled. "Are you interested in him?"

Ai replied. "He is not my type."

The twins choked hard.

Excuse me? N-Not your type? Jun? He is NOT your type?

"But I am interested in him."

"..."

What is this tug-of-war? He is not your type but you are interested in him?

The twins exchanged suspicious glances.

As we thought! This woman is not so simple.

Jian raised his brow. "What is interesting about him?"

"His eyes."

They tilted their heads.

Ai gazed towards once. "His eyes are beautiful, and they tell a story of their own. I would like to know what it is."
