   Misunderstanding her feelings led to a cold war. Initially, he was indifferent, which made her incredibly bitter. She didn't know he was even better at hiding his crush than she was. She thought her hidden crush was even more intense. He always stubbornly mocked her bittersweet crush to everyone, which was a problem for him. She was afraid of losing friends and could only remain a childhood friend; the coward dared not confess. But when he asked her alone if she had a crush on him, she didn't notice his sweaty palms. Unable to answer, she could only ask him if he had a crush on her. Her hands trembled, but she pretended to be calm, placing them behind her back. His ears turned bright red, and he tried to pull something out of his pocket, but she was afraid of revealing her crush and ran away. He was disappointed and wanted to transfer schools. Hearing this news made her even more heartbroken. She bitterly thought she would never see him again. When she got into university, she heard that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty. But it was him; he hugged her and said she was his girlfriend, only telling her that she had rejected the school beauty. Using him as a shield, she thought it was a pleasant surprise. Hearing such words angered her so much that she publicly denied being his girlfriend. Everyone said she was ordinary and yet dared to reject such a handsome school heartthrob. In her anger, she accidentally dropped the yellowed pearl hairpin that her mother had given her as a keepsake. She cried and looked back for it. They argued, and he returned the hairpin to her, but the school beauty trampled on it and threw five yuan at her to humiliate her. She began to hate the school beauty. She threatened him to pretend to be her boyfriend, wanting to make the school beauty jealous. The school beauty gave her money to leave him. She agreed and then lost her memory. He took the opportunity to say that she was his girlfriend. Her mother found her and gave her five million to leave him. She also agreed to go abroad to study as soon as possible. After returning to China, she didn't know that he had become her CEO. She regained her memory, and he proposed to her. She only cared about the ring and not him, the free gift.

    For those who enjoy "shipping from a secretary's perspective," I highly recommend this book. It features a wonderful supporting character, Lin Wei, the CEO's secretary for ten years and the book's primary source of sweetness. She watched him grow from a frail eighteen-year-old boy into a cold, aloof CEO who held up the entire corporation, never once seeing him glance at any other woman in those ten years. So when he helped a waitress out of an awkward situation at the club or handed her tissues in the hallway, she keenly sensed something and, without consulting her, offered him the business card that would change their destinies. Later, when he called her in the middle of the night to retrieve data, she remained outwardly calm, but her inner monologue was overflowing. And then, when he said, "She does like reading"—the moment that unnamed "she" left his lips, this long-time secretary burst out laughing in the car. Much of the sweetness in the book is conveyed through her eyes, a bystander's perspective that clearly reveals the male lead's subtle, almost imperceptible, feelings of attraction. This "everyone can see it except the parties involved" writing style is a hundred times sweeter than a straightforward confession. If you enjoy shipping couples and getting immersed in the relationship, you'll find yourself thinking along the same lines as Lin Wei, smiling like a doting aunt throughout.
