The Cold-Faced Boss’s Secret

Gentle, guiding top x secretly dependent subordinate bottom Lin Chao’s boss was a handsome, imposing man who never cracked a smile. People called him a “vampire” because he was so ruthless in business, but he was the workplace idol who had inspired Lin Chao to join the company. When his coworkers badmouthed the boss behind his back, Lin Chao always stood up for him. “Look at you, just another corporate drone, sympathizing with the capitalists. Do you think he appreciates it?” a coworker mocked. Lin Chao ignored him and pushed open the door, only to see his boss leaning against a windowsill in the corridor, smoking. His profile was veiled in swirling smoke. A month later, that coworker was transferred to a branch office. After that, rumors spread around the company that the general manager had a particular soft spot for Lin Chao. No matter how bad things got, the general manager would immediately rein himself in whenever Lin Chao showed up. Whenever their department needed to secure resources, his coworkers would send Lin Chao into the general manager’s office. His boss seemed to be an extremely sensitive person who wore himself out emotionally. When he ate with Lin Chao, he would “have an allergic reaction,” breathing hard and even coming down with a fever. At the office, his hand would shake as he wrote, and sweat would bead on his forehead... Lin Chao began to wonder if he was some kind of “respiratory allergen.” Then one day, during a storm, Lin Chao sat in his car and saw his boss soaked through. Purple underwear showed faintly through his wet blue shirt. Without a word, Lin Chao opened the company’s personnel System and checked the general manager’s gender. Gender: Male. That’s right. His handsome, imposing boss liked wearing women’s underwear... ① This is a completely, purely, utterly romantic love story! ② A steadfast one-on-one relationship, both leads’ first love, happy ending.
