Beautiful, sober and careerist female subordinate × Married male boss who loses restraint
Lin Shu is twenty-seven years old, beautiful, smart, and ambitious.
What she hates most is people saying that everything she gets depends on men.
Chen Shaoan is thirty-seven years old, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, married, has a smooth future, is restrained and decent, and almost never makes wrong choices.
They were supposed to just have a working relationship.
An open recruitment, a secondment, a borrowed book, several unnecessary memories. When Lin Shu realized that he had begun to avoid her deliberately, she wanted to know how long this man who always knew the most sense of proportion would be able to restrain himself.
Later the answer came.
On the terrace after the dinner, he took off his glasses and kissed her.
Two minutes later, when they were both awake, they kissed a second time.
From that day on, the rules didn't disappear, they just became something they could see before every time they crossed a line.
He has a wife, and she is his subordinate; she can eat with other men in public, but he can only ask "Is it him?" When no one is around; they have business affairs at the conference table, and learn another set of rules after the door is closed.
They both knew the relationship was unworthy of forgiveness.
But the real danger is never desire.
One day, they found themselves willing to change their lives for another person.
And the hardest thing about loving someone may not be how many rules you are willing to break for them.
He could obviously make the decision for her, but in the end he let her choose.
Desire is written clearly, love is never officially spoken.
