I happened to come across a Weibo post from Li Xiang’s male assistant.
“Winning over CEO Li, progress: 95%.”
He’d been posting things like this for three years straight, with his progress climbing from 1% all the way to 95%.
His account had made him an internet celebrity, and everyone was asking who this “CEO Li” he kept talking about was.
I showed my phone to Li Xiang, but she just brushed it off.
“He’s just a kid being absurd. Don’t take it seriously.”
I trusted her judgment and her feelings for me, so I didn’t take the assistant’s overstepping to heart.
That was until he posted an update on our wedding anniversary.
In the photo, he had his arm around Li Xiang’s waist. He wore the watch she had won at a sky-high auction, and they were both smiling sweetly.
“Turns out the wait was worth it. My progress is at 100%, and the beautiful boss has finally said yes to my proposal!”
