[Marriage before love / Impulsive marriage between complete strangers / 1v1, each other's first love / Bright and carefree heroine vs. aloof, untouchable hero]
During a company team-building game, Jiang Yi lost three rounds in a row. For the third round, she was told to answer a question honestly in front of her boss.
To save her job, Jiang Yi steeled herself and said, "Boss, I want to cling to you for dear life."
It was less a truth than a dare.
Because the next day, Jiang Yi and the man registered their marriage.
On the third day, they shared a pillow.
On the fourth day, they ran into each other at work. Jiang Yi greeted him respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Cheng."
He nodded, then swept past her as if borne on the wind.
Later...
The boss in public: "Jiang Yi, focus on your work today. Stop working overtime every day."
Her coworkers: "See? Your truth got you on the boss's bad side. Now he's watching your work every day."
The boss in private: "Honey, shouldn't we do something to bring us closer as a married couple tonight?"
Jiang Yi: "I'm still working overtime."
Boss: "What if I give you the night off?"
Jiang Yi shot him a sidelong glance. She didn't need to say a word. The man was already tucked into bed, reciting the Husband's Classic: "Be generous with your wife's spending. Comfort her when she's angry. Wait patiently when she's working overtime."
Reading tips:
1. Marriage before love, with the powerful one learning to humble himself.
2. Five-year age gap, each other's first love.
3. Maybe it's a story about training your husband (boss)? Not recommended for use on your real-life boss.
4. The views in the story apply only to this novel's plot and do not represent all of the author's beliefs. The author has no intention of provoking conflict. Let's all read in a friendly, harmonious, and happy way!
5. The professional details are based on online sources. If you spot any errors, please point them out gently, and I'll do my best to fix them.
I'm still thinking about the heroine's name and will probably change it.
Some minor details may also change before I start posting.
