Young Master Gu: "But you were the one who made the first move!"
Ling Ling: "Young Master Gu, you told me to flirt with you!"
Ling Ling's workplace nemesis tricked her into going to get a document signed by Young Master Gu. Through a series of misunderstandings, she ended up being sent to his room as a blind date.
Young Master Gu kept a straight face and said coldly, "Show me what you can do to make my heart flutter."
Seriously, is it really this hard to get a CEO to sign something these days?
Fine, Ling Ling gave in. For the sake of her job, she might as well play along for a while.
When you're out in the world, you have to work hard. Don't blame me, sis.
And then she got herself in over her head.
She never expected the CEO to fall for her. And was he really planning to recruit his original blind date as an accomplice, just to win Ling Ling over?
Ling Ling had even helped the CEO wholeheartedly deal with an undercover agent. An undercover agent? Please, Ling Ling was no pushover either. She was a senior lawyer. Dealing with a nobody like that was child's play.
Ling Ling could tell something was off with her too. Lately, her heart rate and body temperature had both been acting strange.
A career-driven, capable woman × a CEO who knows how to put on a show. He's lovestruck only when it comes to Ling Ling. To everyone else, it's "Get lost!"
The CEO makes "reasonable use" of their contract relationship, step by step, until he wins the woman over.
It's hard to get by these days. A CEO can't get by on money alone. Dating takes brains and acting skills too.
Please note:
1. This is a slow-burn story.
2. No clueless "I didn't tell you because it was for your own good." Please communicate properly with your partner.
3. Reality is far more complicated than fiction.
4. Some parts are fictional. Please judge how realistic the plot is for yourself.
5. The CEO always trusts the heroine. There's no endless suspicion between them. They're like an everyday couple and friends. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Life is hard enough. If romance isn't sweet, what's the point?
Theme: People who shine through hard work will always be cherished.
