[Enthusiastic Secretary × Slow-Burning CEO] [Flash Marriage] [Secret Crush] [Marriage Before Love] [A Slow, Deliberate Romance?]
Qin Ningran had secretly loved her boss, Lu Lin’an, for two years, never daring to hope for anything more. He was cool-headed, steady, and from an influential family, a CEO high above everyone else, while she was merely the capable secretary at his side.
Then one day, after a phone call at the mall pressuring him to get married, Lu Lin’an was driven half-mad by his family’s nagging. He turned and saw Qin Ningran sneaking a glance at him, and, almost on impulse, asked, “Will you marry me?”
She was stunned, but somehow found herself nodding.
That very afternoon, they registered their marriage. Lu Lin’an calmly said, “I’ll take responsibility for you.” But he had no idea that what he thought was just a way to placate his family was the fulfillment of her long-planned secret crush.
After they married, their relationship amounted to nothing more than a marriage certificate.
He was slow to warm up and restrained, deliberately keeping his distance. She was open and proactive, never hiding her feelings. When he worked late, she brought him coffee. When he frowned, she did everything she could to make him smile. When he took a step back, she cheerfully took two steps forward. She loved him like a ball of fire, determined to melt that iceberg of a man.
He was cold, so she burned brighter. He was silent, so she smiled. He remained unfazed, so she was determined to make his heart race.
“Lu Lin’an, take your time. I’ll wait. But I should warn you, when I fall in love, I’m like a fire. Sooner or later, I’m going to set you alight.”
This is a marriage that began as a transaction, and the story of a slow-burning man gradually succumbing to a love as fierce as a raging fire.
