Big Boss, Stop Pretending! Strangers in Public, Intimate in Private

Both leads are virgins!! A composed and capable senior official & an upbeat, ambitious junior employee]

There are two rumors circulating in the office building---

First, the new senior official comes from a powerful background, and his records are classified.

Second, he's cold, taciturn, and keeps his distance from women.

Jing Yu later learns that rumors can't be entirely trusted, but they can't be entirely dismissed either.

The first is true. The second is false.

Jing Yu knocks and walks into the office. "Sir, what time are you leaving tonight?"

"It's after work. You should address me differently now," the senior official says solemnly.

"Mr. Zhou?" Jing Yu pretends not to understand.

"Good girl, call me husband." Zhou Zhian smiles meaningfully.

One evening, a flirtatious neighbor from the same residential complex knocks on the door and asks Zhou Zhian to help change a light bulb.

Zhou Zhian points to the ring on his left ring finger. "Sorry, my wife keeps a tight leash on me!"

Back in their room, Jing Yu asks, "Since when did you become so henpecked?"

Zhou Zhian raises an eyebrow at her. "We'll discuss that later."

"Right now, Mrs. Zhou, it's time for you to fulfill your duties."

So the next day, in the scorching heat, Jing Yu wears a high-necked short-sleeved shirt for the first time in her life.

She grits her teeth and curses, "You bastard!"

I've seen moonlight as boundless as snow, but it can't compare to the galaxy in your eyes right now.

In public, we act like strangers. That's called propriety and keeping our distance.

In private, we're so close we can't hide our deep affection.
