My Boss Looks at Me Differently

Tang Man had done something she felt guilty about.

In college, she had a crush on the campus heartthrob Xia Wenzhuo. After relentlessly pursuing this aloof beauty until she won him over, she had a momentary lapse of judgment and impulsively broke up with him.

After the breakup, she blocked him, deleted him, and ran away.

A few years after graduation...

Tang Man became the expected, perfectly qualified couch potato;

Xia Wenzhuo, as everyone had hoped, became an outstanding boss.

After going around in circles...

Tang Man went through great hardship to land an internship at Sanhou Corporation. Sanhou's boss, Xia Wenzhuo, became her direct supervisor.

Faced with the tragic reality of an ex doing better than her after a breakup,

Tang Man kept a firm grip on her composure and pretended nothing had happened.

But luck doesn't favor fools,

nor does it favor couch potatoes.

When the company launched a new product, employees all reposted and commented about it on Weibo, enthusiastically recommending it.

Tang Man also dug out her long-unused Weibo account, changed the name to include the group, employee number, and her name, and reposted the official account's post to get it over with.

The next day at work,

her colleagues looked at her strangely;

Xia Wenzhuo looked at her strangely, too.

At the top of the comments under the trending topic for the company's product was Tang Man's featured comment:

Sanhou R&D, No. 1551, Tang Man: "After work, my boss pinned me down on the desk...[shy][rose][shy]"

The replies below were buzzing:

"What is this?? Was her account hacked?"

"Haha, looks like the person whose account was hacked works for this company! What a mortifying situation!"

"Whoever hacked her account is so awful... They pushed this scandalous comment to the top so their boss would see it!"

"Hahaha, the person above is so awful."

"Awful +1"

Tang Man: "..."

Expressionless, she stayed up all night writing her resignation letter.

In the CEO's office,

Xia Wenzhuo didn't even glance at her resignation letter before throwing it into the shredder.

Then he pinned her against the desk. "...Is this what you had in mind?"

His deep voice sounded beside her ear.

It was teasing, but also carried a hint of huskiness that was hard to detect. "Pinned you on the desk... And then what?"

Later, Tang Man's Weibo history was dug up from top to bottom:

"Look what I found! She really did date her boss!"

"Oh, they were college sweethearts, too. So sweet!"

"Ahhh, so was her boyfriend a promising, handsome campus heartthrob or a wealthy CEO? [lemon][lemon]"

"So even a big boss clips his girlfriend's toenails in private? I'm so jealous, sob!"

"Enough with the sweetness, they already broke up..."

"Huh? Did the big boss get dumped?"

"Here comes the gossip..."

Tang Man, watching her past about to be exposed: QAQ

Once again pinned against the desk by Xia Wenzhuo, she burst into tears. "Please, spare me!"

"It's true I pursued ten handsome guys at the same time in the beginning, but later I was devoted to you alone!"

Xia Wenzhuo pulled his hand back.

He gazed at Tang Man, his expression softening. "...Were you really devoted to me alone?"

-

Xia Wenzhuo knew Tang Man was a pitfall.

The problem was, she didn't think she was one. She even had to put up a sign beside the pit: "I'm not a trap~ I'm not dangerous~"

The first time,

Xia Wenzhuo believed her.

The second time,

...he believed her again.

Content warnings:

1. The female lead really did pursue ten men at first, but later she was devoted to the male lead alone.

2. Otherwise, both leads are devoted only to each other in body and mind.
