Xu Songyi and Wen Zheng worked together for three years, always maintaining a good boss-subordinate relationship. One night at a work dinner, they unexpectedly caught Xu Songyi's boyfriend cheating. After that, Wen Zheng suddenly changed from his usual cold self and began paying special attention to her.
She responded cautiously, and after a few days came to a conclusion: Wen Zheng liked her and was pursuing her.
Under Wen Zheng's carefully planned advances, she broke her rule of "never dating someone from work again" and fell for him.
Xu Songyi was head over heels, but Wen Zheng still wouldn't confess. Just as she was about to take the initiative and clear the air, she accidentally learned that her scummy ex was Wen Zheng's younger brother. Wen Zheng had only been looking after her these past few months out of guilt and a desire to make amends.
His affection and pursuit had all been an illusion of her own making.
Xu Songyi: "..."
After the embarrassment, humiliation, and heartache, she used a new project as an excuse to pack up and flee overnight.

At a dinner for the project team, Wen Zheng showed up unannounced with a cold expression and caught Xu Songyi chatting enthusiastically with a handsome younger guy. Xu Songyi smiled and raised her glass to him. "Mr. Wen." Then she turned right back to chatting with the guy.
After the party, Wen Zheng blocked her at the banquet room door, pressing her at every step. "Didn't you like me? You haven't even won me over, and now you've set your sights on someone else?"
Xu Songyi took a deep breath, looked up, and smiled at him. "Oh, I'm over it."
#They both thought the other was pursuing them, but it was all in their own heads?#
#From the male lead's perspective, she's pursuing him; from the heroine's perspective, he's pursuing her. The truth: it was all an illusion.#
A short scene:
After Xu Songyi laid everything out for Wen Zheng, he was racking his brain over how to win her back when a package arrived.
It was a huge cardboard box as tall as he was. Inside was just a note: Mr. Wen, here's your box of wishful thinking back. Please don't cross the line again :-)
Wen Zheng: ...
