The CEO Says One Thing and Means Another

Cool CEO × gentle assistant, two female leads

Gu Qinghan's office has ten ironclad rules: the temperature stays at 22°C, documents are placed at an exact 45-degree angle, and black coffee must never have sugar.

Then her new assistant, An Xiaoya, trips and falls into her arms with a stack of files, and every rule starts to unravel.

“Ms. Gu, cold coffee is bad for your stomach.” Xiaoya replaces her black coffee.

“Ms. Gu, I'll organize the overtime paperwork.” Xiaoya falls asleep on the sofa in the CEO's lounge.

“Ms. Gu, your hand is so cold.” Xiaoya holds her fingertips beneath the conference table.

The whole company bets on when An Xiaoya will get fired, but instead they see Gu Qinghan pin her in a corner when the elevator breaks down.

“Afraid of the dark?” The CEO kisses away her assistant's tears. “Then hold on tight to me.”

Later, Gu Qinghan declares while holding An Xiaoya, who's fallen asleep after working late, “She's mine. Anyone who touches her can get lost.”
