She's Really Not Straight!!!

Xin Yue's miserable life is finally taking a turn for the better.

Not only does she keep winning prizes at the supermarket by her apartment,

but after taking over her aunt's cleaning job, she catches the eye of her domineering CEO boss.

Xin Yue still remembers that day. The CEO sat in her executive chair, her gaze falling lightly on Xin Yue through the silver-rimmed glasses on her nose.

She watched Xin Yue finish cleaning her office before speaking, her eyes thoughtful.

“Would you like to be my assistant? The salary during the probation period is 9,800, double that after you're made permanent, 15 days of paid annual leave, and other benefits...”

“I'd love to!”

Xin Yue agreed before the CEO could finish.

If she had to think it over, she'd be doing a disservice to her practically empty bank account!

After her excitement settled, Xin Yue managed to hold on to a shred of reason. She asked the CEO, “What would I have to do as your assistant?”

Wei Shuyu smiled softly. “Keep me company.”

Wei Shuyu took over the family business and spent three years clearing obstacles, gaining full control of the company.

Her career was going smoothly, and for the past six months, she'd had only one problem:

How could she give a supermarket to a girl who didn't know her, in a way that seemed reasonable and wouldn't arouse suspicion?

Before she'd come up with a plan, the girl appeared in her office,

wearing a cleaner's uniform and smiling at her.

For the first time, Wei Shuyu realized someone could make a cleaner's uniform look so alluringly chaste.

Watching those long-jointed hands press a towel against the desk before her, wiping it down, Wei Shuyu's heart beat faster each time the girl's fingers curled.

In that moment, she made a decision:

She wouldn't give her the supermarket. She'd give her herself! Those hands shouldn't be used just to wipe tables!

But that was even harder than giving her a supermarket.

As far as Wei Shuyu knew, the other girl was straight.

After thinking it over, Wei Shuyu offered her a job as an assistant.

The words “keep me company” sounded a little ambiguous. If Xin Yue didn't know the CEO was straight, she would have suspected she was being propositioned.

After asking in detail what “keeping her company” meant, Xin Yue felt reassured.

But after working for a while, Xin Yue's gaydar started going off. Something was wrong. The CEO didn't seem all that straight.

She found her gay friend and shared her suspicion: It seemed like the CEO had a thing for her.

After hearing her out, her friend shook her head with a sigh. “Forget whether the CEO's straight or not. You should watch fewer short dramas. A CEO would never fall in love with a cleaner!”

Xin Yue was skeptical.

But soon, after Xin Yue “kept” the CEO company for a whole night at a drinking party, her gaydar went off again.

She went to her friend. “Something's not right. She must be into me. She got drunk and said she wanted to give me her villa.”

Her friend thought it over for a long time before coming up with an answer.

“Charity! She must think you're too poor. You know how rich people sometimes like to do a little philanthropy.”

Xin Yue: “...”

At a loss for words, she decided to find the answer herself.

Not long after, Xin Yue went to her friend again. “She kissed me. What do you say now?”

Her friend was indignant. “I was wrong about her. Did you slap her?”

Xin Yue glanced at the person pretending to be asleep in her arms and gave a quiet laugh.

“No. I kissed her back.”

Wei Shuyu, still dizzy from the kiss, brushed her fingers over her reddened, damp lips, unable to stop the corners of her mouth from rising.

So it was all a misunderstanding. She wasn't straight at all!

Tilting her head up, she bit down on the other girl's lips again.

If she wasn't straight, that made things easy.
