#Did you know she has an ex-boyfriend?#
#I know. I'm the one who broke them up.#
As the newest employee at her company, Ji Fengling honestly admits she's single when her colleagues ask about her love life. As a result, she's picked first for overtime, and occasionally gets set up with all kinds of losers.
After changing companies, Ji Fengling learns her lesson and pretends to have a boyfriend.
One day, a colleague claims she has to pick up her child and leaves all the work to Ji Fengling.
Ji Fengling: "I can't. I have to get home and cook for my boyfriend."
Colleague: "?"
Ji Fengling: "He'll hit me if I'm late."
Her colleague falls silent, then asks, "Why don't you break up with him?"
Ji Fengling: "He's pretty nice when he isn't hitting me."
Colleague: "..."
*
She goes on a blind date in place of her best friend and meets a handsome guy who's exactly her type.
Ji Fengling feels a pang of regret, but can only trot out her well-practiced excuse, "I already have a boyfriend," to turn him down.
The blind date has a world-weary face but a pleasant personality. After hearing her out, he simply says, "Got it."
Ji Fengling thinks that's the end of it, and that they can part on good terms. But unexpectedly, she keeps running into him afterward.
Chen Junzhi adopts the stray cat she found.
On the first day, he sends her a photo of his bitten hand. "It bit me TvT"
Ji Fengling rushes over in a panic and takes him to the hospital for a rabies shot.
The next day, he sends her a photo of the cat sitting with its back to him, sulking. "It won't eat TvT"
Ji Fengling rushes over in a panic and feeds the cat.
On the nth day, he sends her a photo of himself getting an IV drip at a community clinic. "Having a fever feels awful TvT"
Ji Fengling rushes over in a panic.
The man sits on a bench and pulls her into a tight embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his head in her chest. His forehead is burning hot as he murmurs a complaint: "Why did you take so long?"
Ji Fengling: "..." Something doesn't seem right here.
P.S. Happy ending, both each other's one and only. The blurb, title, and character names may change before publication.
