Who Says I'm Secretly in Love with You?

[Next up: Please Tell Me, Are You My Husband?]

The Liang family's business has been hit hard by pressure from its competitor, the Sheng Lai Group. To get out of the crisis, Liang Cheng conceals her identity and goes undercover at Sheng Lai Group. She applies to become the secretary of its CEO, Xu Yanchi, and stays by his side to gather intelligence.

Xu Yanchi is shrewd and perceptive. Liang Cheng secretly watches him, records his words and actions, and finds out what he likes.

Then one day, her secret notebook full of information falls into Xu Yanchi's hands, and Liang Cheng is summoned to an empty office.

Thinking her identity has been exposed, Liang Cheng gets ready to come clean.

After looking through the notebook, Xu Yanchi raises his eyes meaningfully. "If you have a crush on me, just say so."

Liang Cheng is silent for a long moment, then ventures, "Is it possible that I'm trying to sabotage you?"

He nods. "You couldn't have me, so your love turned to hate. I understand."

Liang Cheng: "..."

Rumors that Secretary Liang has a crush on the CEO spread throughout the company. After the sixteenth time a colleague teases her to her face and her denial fails to help, Liang Cheng decides she might as well embrace it and starts spreading her own rumors.

"That's right. I've had a crush on him since I was three."

"Yes, I'm lovesick and obsessed, and I'll stop at nothing to get him."

"Mm-hmm. If I can't have him, I'll never be happy for the rest of my life!"

She turns around after speaking and finds a row of company directors standing behind her, staring in shock.

Xu Yanchi stands among them, lifting an eyebrow with magnanimity. "Then, to make you happy, I suppose I could let you have me?"

Next up: Please Tell Me, Are You My Husband?

When Zhong Li wakes up after a car accident, she discovers that she has lost some of her memories.

She remembers that she is married. Her husband is incredibly handsome and filthy rich, but he married her as a stand-in and kept her at home like a lonely widow for two years. As soon as his one true love returns to the country, he divorces her and even wants her to leave with nothing. How tragic.

But she can't remember what her husband looks like.

A man stands in the hospital room, dressed in a suit and exceptionally handsome. He is holding her hospital bill, and the watch on his wrist is worth as much as a house.

-Incredibly handsome. Filthy rich.

Zhong Li politely asks, "Excuse me, are you my husband?"

The man's expression is subtle. "Not anymore."

Okay, so he is.

Zhong Li plants her hands on her hips and starts cursing him out. "Scumbag! Give me back my youth! Give me back my love! If you don't give me half your assets, don't expect me to let you and that little vixen be together!"

Fu Wenshen: ?

-

Fu Wenshen takes Zhong Li home after she is discharged, and she discovers that there isn't a single one of her belongings in the house.

So eager to kick her out and run off with his little vixen? Ha! Keep dreaming.

Zhong Li crosses her legs and sits down on the sofa:

Buy me thirty handbags: ten Hermes, ten LV, and ten CHANEL. I want a different one every day.

Hire me a driver, two chefs, and three housekeepers. They must be under thirty, handsome, and muscular.

Then go buy me a huge diamond ring, at least ten carats. We've been married for two years and I don't even have a ring. Are you that poor?

Zhong Li has planned out her whole revenge plot: torment the scumbag, take down his one true love, claim half the assets in the divorce, and live it up.

Every day, she acts out, spends money like crazy, finds new ways to annoy her husband, and keeps him from meeting his little vixen lover.

Halfway through her plan, her mind suddenly clears and her memory returns.

She isn't married.

Fu Wenshen isn't her scumbag "husband."

He's the man her family arranged for her to marry, whom she rejected to his face just before her car accident.

Looking at the man she has been ordering around and making wear an apron to cook for her, and thinking of the bills from the past three months...

Zhong Li apologizes sincerely. "Would it be okay if I just get out of your house right now?"

Fu Wenshen takes off his apron and leisurely wipes his hands. "Didn't you tell me to give you back your youth and your love, and give you half my assets? The diamond ring is ready, Mrs. Fu. Where are you going?"
