After I Pointed at My Boss and Called Him My New Boyfriend at the Breakup

Male lead He Xiaoming: an ambitious investor, scheming, sharp-tongued, calculating and realistic, fiercely protective of his own and generous with his money

Female lead Zhou Nian: a resilient weed climbing the career ladder, a clever, sweet-talking flatterer, an extrovert, and someone who loves boldly and refuses to lose

The day Zhou Nian met He Xiaoming, her ex-boyfriend served her the three-piece breakup special: cheating, stealing her cat, and dumping his true love as soon as he had a better prospect.

At the breakup, Zhou Nian refused to back down. In a moment of desperation, she told her ex that he was the one being dumped, and that the man she was cheating with was sitting in the ridiculously expensive Maybach parked by the roadside.

She regretted it as soon as the words were out, but could only steel herself and walk toward the Maybach.

Unexpectedly, the driver got out and considerately opened the door for her.

Deeply grateful, Zhou Nian climbed into the back seat, forgetting that the car's owner was also inside. She stared out the window, focused only on whether her ex was furious that she had cheated first.

"Your ex-boyfriend looks pretty upset." Zhou Nian heard a low, elegant voice from behind her. She turned around and saw a man in an expensive suit, impeccably dressed and imposing from head to toe, silently making it clear that he owned the Maybach.

Zhou Nian hurried to thank her savior.

The man's striking, flirtatious eyes, which had been gazing out the window, turned back to her. A bemused curiosity filled them. "But, miss... Is this how you young people define cheating these days? You asked for directions, I answered, and now we're involved?"

"..."

Zhou Nian apologized and thanked him repeatedly in the Maybach.

As she kept telling He Xiaoming, "I'm so sorry, and thank you so much," she was so embarrassed she could have dug a hole with her toes. She couldn't remember a thing, except one detail that left a deep impression.

As soon as she finished apologizing, He Xiaoming said bluntly, "If you're breaking up, make a clean break."

Then Zhou Nian watched as he sent his driver to retrieve her cat from her ex.

Zhou Nian hadn't expected to run into He Xiaoming again in less than a day.

In the conference room at Ruifeng Capital, she spent the entire morning looking at He Xiaoming's exceptionally handsome face, which stood out from the crowd.

Near the end of the meeting, He Xiaoming remembered to ask, "What happened to the new assistant I asked HR to find?"

Clutching a stack of files, Zhou Nian rose from a corner behind her colleagues like a mushroom, appearing quietly with a strained smile.

He Xiaoming: "..."

Zhou Nian became He Xiaoming's assistant. Three months later, one day, he invited her warmly: "If you're not planning to date anyone for now, would you consider dating me?"

In the mirrored glass of the transparent elevator stood her boss, a breathtakingly handsome man whose family background, corporate standing, physique, and looks were all beyond reproach. Zhou Nian's heart pounded.

Her eyes accidentally met He Xiaoming's dark, intense gaze, and sparks flew.

Later, He Xiaoming taught her the ways of business, took her hunting abroad, and brought her to see the snow in the Arctic.

His desk, his Maybach, and his private home all became evidence that she had been with him.

By day, he was a formidable, cold-faced presence at the conference table. At night, he would passionately and expertly nibble the tip of her chin. "One more time. Tonight, I'm going to roast you through."

But their relationship, once it had grown so intense, was bound not to last.

Zhou Nian left her resignation letter on his desk and texted him: He Xiaoming, my resignation letter is on your desk.

: And we're over.

-

He Xiaoming's reply was brief.

: Fine.

: We both agree.

A year later, He Xiaoming was playing cards with several influential men. They hadn't seen Zhou Nian in ages. "You haven't brought your little assistant around all year. Did you two split up?"

He Xiaoming replied in a flat, indifferent voice, "We split up a long time ago."

Seeing how little he seemed to care about Zhou Nian, another man pulled out his phone and showed him a photo. "So that's why I saw her taking wedding photos with this guy the other day."

Everyone thought the same thing.

He Xiaoming could have anything he wanted. Why would he care if the little assistant who used to be with him married someone else?

No one guessed that that night, the man who cared deeply about his reputation and had always been so proud would run every red light in the city.

In the residential complex's parking lot, Zhou Nian was pinned down in the back seat of a luxurious black Maybach. The man's eyes blazed red, and his lips were raw after the forceful kiss. His voice was so hoarse he could barely speak clearly. "Zhou Nian, you cheat on me one more time."

-

Since the day He Xiaoming was born,

he had never been afraid, never fallen, never lost.

Only with Zhou Nian did he manage all three at once.

Even his proudest fortress was devoured by true love and reduced to rubble.
