Lan Peizi returned to her alma mater as a guest lecturer, witnessed a case of school bullying, took a girl home, treated her wounds, and even ended up in bed with her.
They met again three months later at the funeral of their beloved teacher.
Wei Feng, the unfilial troublemaker their teacher had always complained about: a person whose personality was the complete opposite of Lan Peizi's parents. She'd skipped class, gotten into fights, cheated, and made her parents come to school...
What no one expected was that Lan Peizi, a famously frigid, very straight, aloof CEO, would offer to take care of Wei Feng, who had lost both her parents.
After they moved in together, Wei Feng discovered that beneath the aloof exterior was a delicate, sickly rose who couldn't take care of herself and lied as easily as she breathed.
Wei Feng: "What is this black stuff? Poison?"
Lan Peizi readily admitted it: "A dish I made in a wok."
Wei Feng: ...
Wei Feng: "Did you murder my wool sweater?"
Lan Peizi didn't even blink. "The washing machine did it."
Wei Feng: ...
Wei Feng: "Is this the road we took on the way here, or have you changed your mind and decided to sell me?"
Lan Peizi didn't look back. "The navigation app picked the route."
Wei Feng: ...Just who is taking care of whom here?!
Wei Feng couldn't hold back any longer. "What can you actually do?"
Lan Peizi: "Make money."
Wei Feng: Fine, you win.
Lan Peizi: "And keep you warm in bed."
Wei Feng: ?
Extra Scene:
After graduating, Wei Feng brazenly went to intern at CEO Lan's company.
Employee A: "Did you hear? The new intern in Administration has connections upstairs."
Employee B: "No way. CEO Lan would never tolerate someone getting in through connections."
At noon, the upright and impartial CEO Lan walked over to the young intern's desk, took the backpack she offered, and led her by the hand to lunch.
Employee B (That face-slapping came so suddenly. It hurts): "Ha... When a straight CEO Lan comes to personally ask someone to lunch, that's not having connections."
"What is it, then?"
Employee B: "That's the CEO's wife."
