Next story: "When I'm With Mr. He," about the second male lead winning her heart and getting together with her former boss. [Blurb] After a year of marriage, she and Mr. He settled in Jiangnan, treating each other with respect and living a peaceful, happy life. Then he went to the headquarters in the capital on a three-month business trip. While passing through on a work trip, she decided to visit him and ended up having dinner with his boss that evening. The boss was young and successful, witty and charming, and praised her lovely name. While her husband was away from the table for a moment, the boss asked her after a few drinks if she'd ever considered getting married again. She thought he was being ridiculous and took back the compliment she'd had in mind. The boss then told her that the grasslands in Xinjiang were beautiful this time of year, lush and green, bursting with life. She: "..." The marriage didn't end smoothly. Lu Zhixing had no intention of getting a divorce. Already troubled, she then had to deal with a relentless suitor who seemed afraid she wouldn't divorce. He showered her with priceless gifts without a second thought. When her company faced a cash-flow crisis, he sent over a pile of money and disappeared, yet was always there whenever she called. Shan Dai told him, "If you find out I've gotten together with your boss after my divorce, what do you think Lu Zhixing will say?" "Madam is so kind, worrying about whether your cheating ex is doing all right mentally." "..." She forbade him from calling her that. "Keep calling me that and I'll block you!" "So I'm your ex now, too? Will you take care of my broken heart?" "..." When she was with Mr. He, she hated being apart. Whether he was attending a banquet or going on a business trip, he took her along. Before long, she'd met all his friends, and every one of them respectfully called her Madam. On a snowy day in the capital, he took her, fresh from work, through the winding alleys to get a late-night snack because she was from the south and liked it. The proposal, wedding, and wedding dress missing from her previous relationship all came this time, beneath Mount Fuji and in Iceland. Because she liked them. Being with Mr. He came with no less resistance than getting divorced. She asked him, "It's only natural to have regrets. I understand. You can still back out now." He must have been angry. He skipped dinner and stayed late at the office. The last time she went to his office, she was looking for Lu Zhixing. This time, when she went to the president's office, she found someone in a long coat, already dressed to leave, standing with his back against the desk and gazing forlornly into the night. He didn't move at all. When he saw her, he looked delighted, but said nothing. Shan Dai: "Should I go, then? My car broke down. I'll take yours. Are you going to walk home later?" "..." She walked over to the desk and rubbed against him, her breath fragrant. "I was kidding. I walked here. I'm so tired, and I twisted my ankle. It hurts so much." That day in the office, she saw in his eyes a heartache more overwhelming than anything she'd ever witnessed in her life. The heroine has been married for a year. The second male lead makes a bold play for her. Theme: Love
