Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Lin Xiaoai: Yes, the exam is coming up soon, so I'll look at some books and review.

Yu Ci: You've always been so serious.

Lin Xiaoai: (*?▽?*)

Lin Xiaoai: I sent you a message earlier but you didn't reply. Is something going on tonight?

Yu Ci: There was something going on, but it wasn't anything serious. I just went out to attend a banquet.

banquet?

Suddenly I remembered my senior's background. With that kind of family background, it would be normal for her to have time to attend a banquet. Yes... with that kind of family background.

She took a soft breath.

Although the senior never said anything, and she never asked or inquired, judging from various aspects, the senior's family background was probably exceptionally good.

Just as Lin Xiaoai was pondering these things, Yu Ci sent another message.

Yu Ci: By the way, is your deskmate still bothering you lately?

Desk mate?

Lin Xiaoai: He's been saying some strange things lately, why are you suddenly asking this, senior?

Yu Ci originally intended to talk about the engagement, but then he thought...

What the hell?

It seems like he and Xiao Ai haven't confirmed their relationship yet? Talking about an engagement is strange.

Moreover, the engagement was only verbally dissolved; it seems the higher-ups haven't given their approval yet.

Furthermore, girls seem to be quite sentimental; they usually prefer to discuss important matters in person, not over the phone.

In conclusion, the current conditions are really inconvenient, so Yu laughed it off and decided to wait until things are completely sorted out next time.

Yu Ci: It's nothing, I just wanted to ask so he wouldn't bother you again.

Yu Ci: Okay, it's eleven o'clock now. I'm almost home. It's very late, you should go to sleep early too.

Lin Xiaoai: ^_^ Okay, I'm going to sleep now! Senior, you should go to sleep early too!

Lin Xiaoai: #GiveYouMyLittleHeart#

Yu Ci had always thought Lin Xiaoai's self-made "Here's My Little Heart" emoji pack was especially cute, so he copied it and forwarded it.

Chat ended.

Lin Xiaoai closed the book on the table and climbed into her bed.

She nestled gently under the covers, lost in thought.

As a top student, Lin Xiaoai has always had an excellent memory, so—

Since we've known each other for a while, the senior has mentioned her deskmate about seven or eight times.

From what she learned, the senior student was neither a person with a good memory nor a busybody. Why would she mention someone as many as eight times?

This is a problem.

The next day.

Because I went to bed early yesterday, I woke up early today as well.

After looking at the class schedule, Yu Ci realized he didn't like many of the classes. He took a bus to the school, picked up some breakfast for Lin Xiaoai on the way, and then went to the Yu Group.

This was his first time visiting the original owner's father's company.

"This place is so big."

Yes, it's very big!

"To be honest, this is my first time visiting such a luxurious company..."

Even the X-Library building, which was hailed as the industry leader in its previous life, wouldn't dare to be this luxurious.

"Don't be a coward!" the system chuckled. "Think of it this way: you're the young lady, this place will all be yours from now on!"

"You're right!"

A person can lack many things, but they cannot lack courage.

Encouraged by the system, Yu Ci, instantly radiating confidence, stepped forward to the front.

"Miss, do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"I'm sorry, our company..."

"My name is Yu Ci," Yu Ci said calmly. "I am the daughter of your chairman."

A look of surprise immediately crossed the receptionist's face.

The chairman's daughter?

Although I had heard that the chairman had a daughter before coming to work here, that daughter had never been to the company before. This one who suddenly appeared today—

She was wearing a haute couture gown, and her shoes were also worth five figures.

She looked young and elegant, and the receptionist quickly made a decision in her mind, "Okay, miss, please wait a moment while I call the president's secretary's office."

"Ah."

One minute later, Yu Ci received the magnetic card for the president's private elevator.

"I found this feeling really great."

【? ? ? 】

"The feeling of showing off." Yu Ci looked at the pretty face reflected in the elevator and shook his head. "When someone stops you, you coldly say, 'I am xxx,' and then you are let through. It's really super cool."

[...] It seemed that they had never seen such a useless host before, as the system page was full of dots.

Ignoring the system's speechlessness, Yu Ci sighed and added, "It's just a pity that it mentioned XX's daughter instead of me being a shareholder of this company, otherwise it would have been even more domineering."

It turns out that Brother Yu Ci has even bigger dreams than I imagined.

"Yes, I do have a lot of dreams."

"Speaking of the Yuri System, you have a next mission here, right?"

【Yes host. 】

"Do I have a chance to become a CEO?" he asked curiously. "The kind of CEO who makes millions every minute."

Become the CEO? The system's program ran for a moment, and then—

It's possible.

[After completing this task, the host may wait patiently.]

Yu Ci: Shocked!

With one person and one system chattering away, they arrived at the CEO's office in the blink of an eye.

Before meeting the original owner's father, Yu Ci tidied his appearance at the door and then followed the secretary into the office.

Boss Yu sat in his chair, head down, his fingers constantly typing on the keyboard. When he saw Yu Ci arrive, he glanced up at him, but only for a moment, before lowering his head again to continue handling official business.

The secretary respectfully said to Yu Ci, "Miss, the president is currently handling some business. Perhaps you could wait on the sofa over there for a while? Once he's finished with the documents, you can—"

"Ok!"

I brought *** with me in my small bag.

But for some reason, when I'm sitting in the bright office...

Damn it, I didn't dare touch my hands, I just kept glancing around.

Just as Yu Ci was despairing over his cowardice and timidity, Boss Yu finally finished his work, stood up, and walked over.

Wow.

Only when he was face-to-face with the president of a super conglomerate did Yu Cifang feel a sense of pressure.

"Xiaoci, is there something you need from your father today?"

"I……"

The line I had rehearsed beforehand was "I want to break off the engagement."

Surprisingly! A little? Hesitant to speak?

I mentally slapped myself hundreds of times.

“You can tell me anything.” Mr. Yu rubbed his temples. “I’ve been busy with work and haven’t had time to take care of you. I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. Whatever your wish is, I will fulfill it.”

Perhaps because Boss Yu's voice was much softer, Yu lowered his head, mentally prepared himself for a long time, and finally spoke! Speak! Speak!

Soon after.

A deafening roar echoed from the CEO's office throughout the entire 27th floor.

"Dad, I want to annul the engagement with the Leng family!!!"

Boss Yu: ...

Chapter Eighteen: Dissolving the Engagement

Despite Yu Ci's loud voice, really loud, Boss Yu remained indifferent.

"Xiao Ci, you just said you want to break off your engagement with the Leng family?"

"Yes."

"Tell me why."

“Because—” Yu Ci organized his thoughts, and finally spoke clearly, “he has someone else he likes.”

“He’s been pursuing other girls and keeps coming to warn me. He doesn’t respect me at all.”
