#After I Accidentally Texted My Boss "Husband" Instead of "Boss"#
Through sheer hard work, Qiao Li finally landed a job at her dream company.
Word had it that the company's boss, Gu Jingheng, was a total catch: gorgeous, refined, and the heir to a major corporate group.
At work, Gu Jingheng's standards were sky-high, and he could be so demanding he seemed almost heartless.
No matter how late Qiao Li sent him a file, she would always get a reply.
It left her plagued by insomnia, so to make her protest known without being too direct, she started ending every message with, "Good night, Boss."
Sure enough, after that, Gu Jingheng stopped replying.
One night at three in the morning, Qiao Li was so exhausted that she accidentally typed "husband" instead of "boss."
The next day, during a meeting with a client, her computer malfunctioned, so Qiao Li mirrored her phone to present the file.
Everyone saw the message she'd sent Gu Jingheng at three in the morning: "Good night, Husband."
Only then did she realize she'd mistyped.
The news spread in no time.
Ready to face her doom, Qiao Li went to his office to apologize. "Boss... should I explain what happened?"
Gu Jingheng looked composed, his black shirt sleeves rolled halfway up. In a gentle yet authoritative tone, he said, "You texted me 'Good night, Husband' at three in the morning. What kind of explanation do you think would make that sound reasonable?"
"Then... what do we do?"
"No need to explain," Gu Jingheng said casually. "Keep up the act."
"What act???" You mean, your wife???
To make it seem "reasonable" that she'd called her boss "Husband" in the middle of the night, Gu Jingheng kept summoning her to his office alone, driving her home, and helping her edit files, guiding her hand over hand.
At the company retreat, when the secretary arranged for the two of them to share a room, not a soul dared say a word.
Later, Gu Jingheng grew gentler with her outside of work, his touches increasingly crossing the line. He even told all their friends and family that Qiao Li was his girlfriend.
Qiao Li felt that if this went on, their fake relationship would become real.
She decided to come clean to everyone, went to Gu Jingheng's office, and said, "Boss, how about we make our relationship official?"
He pinned her against the office door and kissed her for a full minute. His lovely voice fell by her ear. "Mm. I've wanted to make it official for a long time."
"No, Boss..." I meant announce our breakup.
"Still calling me Boss?" Gu Jingheng's breath was scorching, a smile in his voice. "You can call me Husband now."
After that, at three in the morning, he really did often hear her whisper sweetly in his ear, "Good night, Husband."
*Most couples try to keep their relationship secret at the office. These two weren't even dating, yet they were showing off their love in public.
* A fatherly boss x a sweet, bubbly subordinate
*Yep, that's right. Everything I, Lu Aotian, write is a sugary romance!
