'Sender... Li... Li Wen?!'
Her heart felt as if it were suddenly clenched by an invisible hand, and her breathing stopped.
With trembling fingers, she tapped open the message.
A concise and clear reply leaped into view:
[Invitation accepted. The topic will be submitted within three days. —Li Wen]
"AH—!!!"
A short, sharp shriek escaped the female assistant's throat uncontrollably.
It was particularly jarring in the quiet office.
She shot up from her seat, the legs of her chair letting out a piercing SCREECH as they scraped against the floor.
Her eyes were wide as saucers, glued to the line of text on the light screen.
Her face was a mask of utter shock and disbelief, as if she were witnessing the most incredible miracle.
A full ten seconds or more passed before her frozen thoughts began to stir again.
"He... he agreed? He agreed?! The Changning King agreed?!"
The immense shock instantly turned into wild joy.
