Mature man and woman | Friends with benefits to official couple | Old flame rekindled | Addicted to each other
Beautiful, arrogant designer × Distinguished, elegant, fatherly CEO
At a bar, Cheng Shuyu accidentally called a stranger "Daddy."
Unfortunately, this "Daddy" was her future boss, Mr. Rand.
Rand was a good employer. He never held it against his staff when they overstepped or acted inappropriately. He was tolerant and friendly.
That is, until he saw one of his employees on a date with a man. The man who had always lived by the rules of gentlemanly conduct darkened his gaze and swiftly locked the bathroom door.
With her back against the wall, Cheng Shuyu smiled. "Admit it. You can't resist me."
Rand's voice was low. "The best way to escape temptation is to give in to it. I admit I'm fascinated by you. You win."
On a winter night in Murmansk, Cheng Shuyu and Rand stood in the snow, gazing up at the breathtaking aurora.
Rand suddenly took out a ring and said solemnly, "A ring can keep you in line. It'll dig into your hand when you interlace fingers with someone else, and it'll dig into theirs too."
Cheng Shuyu frowned, showing none of the delight of someone being proposed to.
"I think you need someone to protect you."
"Whatever protects you also restrains you. Besides, you're overstepping. We're just dating."
Cheng Shuyu thought of them as a dating couple who could hug, kiss, and sleep together.
She was pretending, and thought he was too.
