I'll Still Miss You

Bai Li regretted opening the door to that consulting room.

The man behind the consultation desk...

His white coat, silver-rimmed glasses, and cool, handsome face were exactly like her ex-boyfriend's.

Seven years ago, she had dumped him in the worst way.

Bai Li steadied her breathing and sat down at the desk, feigning composure as she handed over her patient card. "Hello, Dr. Shen."

She didn't even dare say, "It's been a long time."

Shen Jinyan was even colder than she'd expected. He took her card and asked flatly, "What's bothering you?"

Bai Li: "My chest has been feeling tight lately."

He got up, stethoscope in hand.

Shen Jinyan stopped in front of her, placing the stethoscope's chest piece and his hand against her chest, pressing down gently.

He listened for more than ten seconds.

"Patient," he asked casually, "are you nervous?"

Bai Li looked perfectly unruffled. "I'm not nervous."

Shen Jinyan: "Then why is your heart beating so fast?"

In that instant, Bai Li's regret reached its breaking point.

That same day, during rounds, a nurse accompanying Shen Jinyan noticed he was unusually distracted. She reminded him several times, "Director Shen, your stethoscope is upside down again..."

Just hearing your heartbeat

Has thrown me off balance for seven years

Isn't that pathetic?

I still miss you.

Evening of April 5, 2023

Let's Get Married

After a week of working overtime at an intense pace, Xu Ting had a breakdown and changed her WeChat name.

She finished cleaning the conference room, forgetting that her phone was still being projected onto the big screen.

As a result...

The group's decisive, icy CEO, Duan Sihe, turned around and saw Xu Ting's new username.

[All My Bosses and Coworkers Are in Heaven]

Xu Ting, slacking off in the bathroom, had no idea.

She was busy venting to her girlfriends.

Xu Ting: Fuck, I want to blow up the earth. I have to work overtime again tonight.

Xu Ting: Does Duan Sihe not have a sex life or something???

Xu Ting: He works overtime until midnight every day. I can't even...

Duan Sihe and a group of senior executives watched the entire conversation unfold.

-

When Xu Ting returned to her desk, she saw a crowd standing beside it: her team leader, supervisor, director, general manager...

Everyone looked at her with sympathy.

"Mr. Duan wants you in his office."

"Think about how to write your resignation letter before you go."

In his office, Duan Sihe leisurely leafed through some documents, looking refined and aloof, with an imposing presence.

Xu Ting was already shaking with fear.

She dropped to her knees in an instant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Duan. I know I was wrong. I've already changed my username..."

"Changed it to what?" the man asked calmly.

Xu Ting reluctantly handed him her phone.

Duan Sihe lazily raised his eyes and saw her very long new username:

[Wanna Sleep with Handsome, Dashing, Filthy-Rich Mr. Duan]

Judgment had arrived.

Xu Ting was rehearsing her resignation speech when the man suddenly said, calm and collected, "All right, then let's get married."

Oh.

Get married.

Get... Wait!

Get married?!

She looked up in astonishment, eyes wide.

Duan Sihe closed the file and looked at her with an inscrutable smile. "It's true that I don't have a sex life, and I'm also in need of a Mrs. Duan."

"..."

Xu Ting never turned in her resignation.

And the next day, she got a marriage certificate with Duan Sihe.
