Lin Wenqing got dumped by Fu Xilan.
Because he got drunk and slept with someone else.
The walking powder keg Fu Xilan unexpectedly stays calm. Everyone thinks they're completely over.
He doesn't care. "She'll come back once she's done making a fuss."
Not long afterward, Lin Wenqing spots her from afar in a leather skirt, pinning a young man against a door.
She curls her red lips. "Little sparrow, are you really not going to give in to me?"
The young man glances his way. "Sis, won't your boyfriend get jealous?"
She laughs. "That poor blind fool? We broke up ages ago."
Someone beside him hesitates. "President Lin, this..."
Lin Wenqing grits his teeth. "She's just acting. Soon she'll come crawling back and beg me to take her back."
Lin Wenqing never gets to see that day.
Not only does Fu Xilan move in with her pretty boy, she parades him around, humiliating Lin Wenqing.
Worse still, through a crack in the door, he sees Fu Xilan pinned against her desk by the young man, kissing him until her eyes turn dreamy.
Mad with jealousy, he says, "Lanlan, had enough fun? Come home with me."
The young man pulls her head against his chest and asks with a laugh, "So you're Sis's ex-boyfriend... oh, the poor fool?"

The day Lin Wenqing cheated, Fu Xilan found a little puppy in an alley.
The young man was breathtakingly handsome, and she decided to keep him as her own, luring him home.
After getting her revenge on the scumbag, Fu Xilan gets bored and tries every way she can think of to drive the boy away.
The little sparrow's eyes turn red. "Sis, we'll meet again."
Fu Xilan laughs. "If that day ever comes, I'll get on my knees and beg you."
Later, Fu Xilan's father throws her into a massive company and tells her to win the CEO's favor.
On her first day, she takes the CEO coffee. She opens the door and sees a familiar face.
The young man has shed his innocent air. In a suit, he looks cool and composed.
He sneers. "Come here and beg me."
Fu Xilan: "..."
This is so absurd.

I don't want to see her smile at anyone but me.
