I Look Like a Woman, but I’m a Man. Am I Supposed to Be Both Dad and Mom?

Everyone thinks she's a beautiful “older sister,” but in truth, he's a gentle, scheming single dad.

My name is Bai Xi. I'm 28, and, well... people often mistake me for a woman.

It's saved me a lot of trouble, but caused plenty of misunderstandings too.

For instance, Chu Qingli, the new future general manager, is convinced I'm a “pretty colleague” who needs looking after.

Until one day at a team-building event, she accidentally saw my phone wallpaper: a photo of me with my two daughters.

Chu Qingli: “???”

Me: “Let me introduce you. These are my daughters, Bai Xiyue and Bai Ruoxing.”

Later, everyone at the company found out that the pretty, capable department head in Marketing was actually a dad raising two kids.

My daughters are my stars and moon. My eldest, Xiyue, is precocious and composed, while my youngest, Ruoxing, is lively and mischievous.

We live a simple, cozy life, until Chu Qingli suddenly arrives.

The look she gives me grows more and more complicated, shifting from curiosity to surprise, then to a certain interest she can't quite explain.

All I want is to protect our little family, raise my kids well, and, while I'm at it... figure out what this young boss of mine wants from me.

Does she admire my abilities, or... has she developed an unwarranted curiosity about me?
