Su Qingsheng first met Gu Beicheng on a muggy, sticky afternoon.

The office air conditioner was broken. When she rushed in carrying some files, she caught the man taking off his gold-rimmed glasses to wipe the lenses.

The fluorescent light scattered tiny patches of brightness across his pale skin. A watch glinted coldly beneath the cuff of his suit.

He raised his eyes to look at her. His voice was deep as a cello. "Who told you to come in?"

The files in Su Qingsheng's hands spilled all over the floor.

The man stood and approached. The scent of cedar cologne mixed with the smell of ink on paper washed over her.

As she bent to pick up the files, she heard her own heartbeat thunder in her ears.

Later, she became his assistant.

When a client seeking psychological counseling begged for help, she let compassion get the better of her and broke the rules to help them.

Though she showed him how much she cared and apologized again and again, Gu Beicheng remained cold and snapped at her:

"Whether I'm angry is my business. Don't project other people's emotions onto yourself. Didn't you learn this in your professional courses?"

She looked bravely into his eyes. "I'm usually not like this. Maybe it's because I kind of like you?"

As she nervously waited for his response to her first confession, his tone softened slightly, but he still shut her down with ease:

"Just because you like me, does that mean I have to forgive you?"

She fell for him again on a night fraught with danger.

To help him fulfill his long-held wish, Su Qingsheng secretly took on a dangerous mission.

Rain hammered against the windows. Gu Beicheng suddenly cornered her in the office.

His long, elegant fingers gripped her chin. "Who gave you permission to take such a risk?"

His expression behind the lenses was hard to read. His breath brushed across her burning earlobe.

"Do you think I'd let someone I care about go off to die?"

Staring into his eyes from just inches away, Su Qingsheng suddenly realized that the man who was always so cold had emotions hidden in his eyes more turbulent than the rainstorm.

But who could have imagined that after an unexpected turn of events, they would meet again years later at a business banquet?

He sat in the middle of a booth, the collar of his white shirt slightly open, his gaze cool.

Her boss kept smiling and urging her to raise her glass to him, while her fingers around the glass turned white.

When the event ended, the hallway's sensor lights flickered.

Gu Beicheng suddenly grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.

The smell of alcohol mixed with his cedar scent. His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke, his voice almost a sigh. "Qingsheng, do you remember? We still haven't gotten divorced..."
