What If He's Platonic?

Secretly in Love with Her for Years | Reunion After a Long Separation | Sweet Romance

Radiant Secretary × Abstinent CEO

The aloof beauty comes down from her pedestal, washing her underwear with a cold face for love

1.

Back in high school, Tong Xiaoyan's deskmate had a terrible temper and a sharp tongue. What a waste of the face Nuwa must have spent her final project creating.

Worse still, he was frail and sickly. One day, the desk and chair beside her suddenly stood empty, leaving her to tell everyone she met how precious life was and how unpredictable the world could be.

Years later, during a job interview, she realized that the young Mr. Feng seated among the interviewers was none other than her deskmate, who had "come back from the dead."

After becoming Feng Lin's secretary, Xiaoyan walked on eggshells, afraid she'd set off the second-generation version of his sharp-tongued System. One night, she sat bolt upright and groaned, "Why on earth did he hire me?"

Someone behind her pulled her back into his arms. Looking annoyed at being woken, he said, "My ex-girlfriend. She's convenient to have around."

Xiaoyan spotted the flaw in his story and hurriedly shook him awake. "Did you get the wrong person? We never dated."

In the darkness, his voice whispered in her ear like a demon's: "I'm not your ex. Have you been going around telling people I died?"

So that was what he held against her. That's why he'd been making her "work overtime" every night!

After the joke "What if XX is a Platonic relationship?" went viral, Feng Lin, Yun City's most sought-after icy young gentleman, was unfortunately declared to be the real deal.

The next day, during an interview, Feng Lin casually revealed the wedding ring on his left ring finger.

Everyone: "?!"

Afterward, Secretary Tong confirmed that he was married. As for the rumors that their relationship was "Platonic," Secretary Tong said, "That's nonsense. Don't believe it!"

Some people noticed that a ring had mysteriously appeared on Secretary Tong's left ring finger too. She also seemed to have a sore back, rubbing her lower back throughout the breaks in the interview.

Everyone: "? I think we know what's going on!"

Bonus Scene:

One day, Secretary Tong's secret account was exposed. It was full of handsome men dancing, cute boys wiggling their hips, and all sorts of wildly suggestive comments from her.

So this was what the proper, respectable Secretary Tong was like in private!

Everyone "looked down" on her while avidly browsing her secret account.

The commotion grew until it reached the CEO. He summoned Secretary Tong to his office, and soon a clattering crash of things falling could be heard inside.

Everyone was worried for Secretary Tong. A little while later, the CEO's account, which hadn't been updated in ages, posted a single line:

"I am Qing."

Radiant Heiress × Handsome, Loyal Guard Dog

Qiao Xian is a forensic pathologist and a manga artist who draws for teenage girls.

Her greatest regret in life is that the gorgeous male lead she draws is modeled after a cadaver.

One time, she joined a police operation and went undercover in a decadent underground kingdom.

Beside a bare-knuckle fighting ring, surrounded by the mingled smells of tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and blood, Qiao Xian ignored the crowd's coarse shouts and fixed her gaze on the figure in the ring.

A sharp, precise fighting style, perfect lines, untamed wildness, and a handsome face.

There couldn't be a better model.

Her team leader's voice screamed through the radio, but her heart was already drifting away.

The Qiao family's heiress was very good at getting what she wanted, and soon she had the man working as her personal bodyguard.

Whenever night fell, her muse arrived in her room right on time, letting her do as she pleased.

Huo Zhengrong looked up at the woman above him, her face rapturous. His gaze was dark, and his lips curled into a mocking smile. "So this is what you mean by 'personal' bodyguard, Miss?"

Huo Zhengrong spent a year being her most obedient dog, while she poured money and resources into helping him take revenge.

When the year was up, he reclaimed his pride. Watching his retreating figure show not the slightest reluctance, Qiao Xian accepted it with grace and returned him to the woman he cherished, the one he'd protect at all costs, even if it meant selling his blood or fighting in the ring.

No matter! There are plenty of models in the world. Lately, she's set her sights on a sweet and innocent little puppy.

Just as Qiao Xian was flirting happily with her little puppy, she heard that the business world in Xia City was changing rapidly and a new tycoon had risen to prominence.

Her father was even planning to marry her off to this new tycoon.

Qiao Xian couldn't bear to make her little puppy a kept man, so she decided to elope without a second thought. Unfortunately, she was "kidnapped" as soon as she stepped outside and fell unconscious.

When she woke, she found herself lying on a large bed draped in gauze curtains. A gold chain set with gemstones was fastened around her neck, exactly like the one she'd once fastened around Huo Zhengrong's.

Beyond the curtains, a man's silhouette appeared and disappeared from view. He sat in a chair with his legs crossed and his chin resting on one hand, watching her at his leisure. He spoke, one word at a time:

"How can you abandon your puppy? And feed the strays outside, too?"

The loyal guard dog she'd imagined turned out to be a mad dog. She realized it too late.

Theme: Love remains one of the important ingredients of happiness.
