[He Has Been Scheming for Years + Reunion After a Long Separation + Secret Crush + Both Are Pure, Happy Ending]
[Airheaded, Straight-Laced Woman ✖️ Stoic Overthinker]
A “kept songbird” who thinks they're in a pure romance vs. a “sugar daddy” who thinks he's forcing her into a relationship
Drunk at the annual company party, Jiang Xuxu mistakes CEO Fu Yanzhi for her cousin and grabs his hand, begging him to help pay off her Huabei balance.
To avoid getting laid off, Jiang Xuxu works overtime late into the night to prove her loyalty.
After her mortifying blunder, he calls her into his office. Thinking she's about to be fired, she prepares to clear out her desk. After a long silence, he says, “Stay with me.”
Jiang Xuxu is moved to tears and swears she'll work hard to hit her performance targets.
He saves her dinner when she works late and buys her medicine when her stomach hurts.
When her commute is too long, he gives her a place to live. He even takes meticulous care of her cat.
Jiang Xuxu is in tears. This company has amazing benefits.
When people tell her, “You're his kept woman,”
Jiang Xuxu replies, “That's hilarious. Since when?”
Fu Yanzhi has believed since childhood that love is the least reliable thing in the world.
Love can lie, but money doesn't. If you want something to last, get it in writing.
He applies this principle to everyone, including Jiang Xuxu.
He thinks she needs money, and he has plenty to spare.
He thinks that if the contract is thick enough, she'll never leave.
