Even a Dog Wouldn't Marry the Boss

Going premium on Saturday, May 30

My next novel, Becoming the Only Kitten of the Empire's Tyrant, is now available

Jiang Yingshu is an assistant with exceptional professional skills.

After putting up with his previous boss's exploitative behavior for long enough, he decisively quit and ran for the door.

To celebrate his successful escape from that den of misery, Jiang Yingshu decided to drag a friend to a bar for a few drinks.

The good news: he had always been a good drinker.

The bad news: he'd been drugged, and being a good drinker didn't help.

The even worse news: he'd had a one-night stand with a stranger.

When he woke up and saw the handsome stranger lying beside him, Jiang Yingshu's brain completely shut down. Acting on instinct, he tossed down a few bills, got dressed, and ran.

Who could have guessed that when he entered the CEO's office with his new colleague, the person working inside would look up at just the right moment?

Seeing a face that ought to have been unfamiliar, yet somehow seemed strangely familiar, Jiang Yingshu thought he must be hallucinating.

Why did this guy look so much like the man he'd had a one-night stand with?

Jiang Yingshu: ...

Ha ha. Maybe I should just die.

An unexpected reunion with his one-night stand was one thing, but when the other man handed him a contract titled Marriage Agreement, Jiang Yingshu was genuinely dumbfounded.

The other man looked at him and said something shocking: "Aren't you going to take responsibility for me, Assistant Jiang?"

Jiang Yingshu: ?

Can I still run away now?

After getting married, the two chose not to make their relationship public at work, so everyone else thought they were just boss and assistant.

Just when Jiang Yingshu thought their days would go on peacefully like this, a few employees gathered in the break room during lunch to chat.

Someone asked him curiously, "Doesn't your heart flutter, spending every day with a handsome, wealthy boss like Yu Chenhan?"

Before Jiang Yingshu could answer, a bystander scoffed, "Not even a dog would date their boss, right?"

They even glanced at Jiang Yingshu for confirmation.

Not having heard what the other person said, Jiang Yingshu answered perfunctorily, "Right, exactly."

That night, Yu Chenhan pinned him to the bed. The difference in their strength meant Yu Chenhan could easily hold him there with one hand, leaving him unable to move.

Compared to his usual gentleness, he was especially forceful tonight.

Jiang Yingshu couldn't understand why the other man had been perfectly fine during the day, only to suddenly become like this at night.

Just as Jiang Yingshu's consciousness began to blur, he heard the man chuckle.

"If even a dog wouldn't date its boss, then who married the boss?"

"Little puppy, bark for me."

The gong doesn't actually treat the shou like a puppy. It's just playful flirting.

One-on-one, both are each other's first love and have only been with each other.

A tsundere kitty shou and a sharp-tongued gong who loves teasing his husband.

The main couple won't break up or switch roles. I'll delete comments with extreme opinions.

Everything in the plot is only there to develop the main couple's relationship. Please don't give me writing advice.

If you don't like it, please don't insult me or the couple. See you in another novel if fate allows.
