[Sweet romance + domineering CEO + groveling pursuit + rekindled love + equally matched leads]
Xu Zhining can see the number of people everyone has slept with on their phones.
The boldest thing she’s ever done is pay to sleep with a gorgeous, lean and muscular guy whose number was zero after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Only later does she discover the hot guy with the lean muscles is her boss!
Their first encounter:
He treats her strictly as a colleague at the office, while she does her best to act like a model intern.
“Good morning, Mr. Huo.” “Mm.”
Their second encounter:
He corners her in the emergency stairwell. “You blocked me right after that night. Xu Zhining, you’ve got some nerve.”
Xu Zhining: “Mr. Huo, outside of work, we’re strangers.”
Their third encounter:
She tears up her job offer and quits with a flourish.
With red-rimmed eyes, he asks me, “What is it you want?”
Xu Zhining: “What I want is beyond your reach.”
Three years later, she’s a vice president at a startup, finally on equal footing with him.
He swallows his pride and waits for me outside her office every day.
“Xu Zhining, I’ll step out of your evaluation process, but I never meant to step out of your life.”
“I was wrong before. Can I pursue you again?”
Wait, Mr. Huo, isn’t this groveling arc coming a little too late?!
