A Secret on a Snowy Winter Night

On the eve of her university graduation, Xu Shuyi suffered three blows in a row.

Her father was seriously ill, her internship employer broke its promise, and the senior she had a crush on fell in love at first sight and quickly got a new girlfriend.

Xu Shuyi pulled herself together and, through her advisor's introduction, joined a company founded by an alumnus.

A senior kindly gave her a warning: the big boss, Ye Qingyan, was strikingly handsome, like a jade-clear spring covered in snow high on a mountain, but... she absolutely mustn't be tempted.

If she ever fell into his hands, he would make her suffer terribly.

As a "well-connected hire," Xu Shuyi devoted herself to her duties, working diligently and treading as carefully as if on thin ice.

Xu Shuyi had always thought Ye Qingyan looked down on her and was waiting to catch her making a mistake so he could fire her.

That was until the two of them unexpectedly spent a chaotic night together.

In a panic, Xu Shuyi hastily wrote a resignation letter and sent it first, hoping to get ahead of him.

Then he blocked her at her front door, his expression cold. "Use me and then throw me away? You're not going to take responsibility?"

[Mini-Story]

The new intern in the CEO's office had heard more than once that Ye Qingyan was cold, sharp-tongued, and heartless, far less approachable than the other partner.

One evening, the intern went back upstairs to the office to pick something up.

The office was dimly lit, with only a faint glow spilling from the break room.

Rustling noises came from inside. Listening closely, the intern realized they were the sounds of a woman crying.

The intern was instantly alarmed, as if they had stumbled onto the company's biggest secret.

On the other side of the door, Ye Qingyan, notorious for being difficult to deal with, had his back to the entrance and was crouching in front of a woman.

"It's all my fault. Punish me by making me sleep in the guest room tonight, and keep me company."

As soon as Ye Qingyan finished speaking, he was kicked.

For some reason, the intern thought of how Ye Qingyan had scolded Xu Shuyi with a straight face that day, telling her to stop fooling around and stay out of the meeting room.
