[The next book, Mr. Xu, My Boss, is now underway. Follow along for an office romance!]
Synopsis
P.S. This is not an age-gap romance with an older woman and younger man.
1:
When Zhi Tao was eighteen, she set her sights on a young man and went to great lengths to flirt with him until she finally won him over.
His faded canvas shoes and thin T-shirt seemed novel to her.
So did the cute way he often said, “You can only have me.”
Once that novelty wore off, the relationship came to an end.
2:
Many years later, at a banquet.
Zhi Tao swirled her wine at the reception and looked at the unfamiliar man standing onstage, tall and straight, his expression cool and handsome. Her heart began to itch.
He seemed like he knew what he was doing. Though gentle and considerate, he kept a proper distance, making Zhi Tao want to tease him.
He crouched down, his long, pale fingers gently gripping her heel as he said, unhurriedly, “After all these years, Zhizhi, you still like this face of mine.”
The wine haze cleared a little. Zhi Tao finally recognized the man kneeling to put on her shoe: it was Zhou He, the young man from back then.
She ran a hand through her hair to hide her fluster. “A person's tastes don't change much. You're doing pretty well for yourself now.”
After exchanging those polite remarks, Zhi Tao moved her leg, wanting to leave.
But Zhou He wouldn't let go. He practically forced the shoe onto her foot.
“Zhizhi, you promised I would be the only one.”

Next book, Mr. Xu, My Boss
1:
Before Wen Nian transferred departments, she had heard countless rumors about the newly appointed boss.
Handsome, temperamental, rude, cold, and ruthless.
She spent ages preparing herself mentally, only to go a whole month without seeing him once.
One day, Wen Nian was heading to the executive offices when a familiar figure stepped into the elevator. It took her a few seconds to recognize him.
He was the second man her family had set her up with, and the one she'd agreed to marry in a contract marriage.
She could only greet him with a mix of familiarity and awkwardness. “What a coincidence.”
Xu Weixue put one hand in his pocket and glanced sideways at Wen Nian. His eyes skimmed over the documents she was holding, then he casually checked his watch. “The sales proposal was due yesterday. You're already late.”
It was only when she saw her colleagues looking at her with pity that Wen Nian realized:
This was the temperamental new boss!
2:
How could she possibly enter a contract marriage with her own boss?
Wen Nian trailed Xu Weixue for three days, then finally found the right opportunity to tactfully express her thoughts.
Xu Weixue stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. Then he said, “Is this how Team Leader Wen always behaves? You don't even have basic respect for a contract? Now I have to wonder whether you're qualified for this job.”
Wen Nian understood what he was really saying. She struggled to hide her gritted teeth. “All right, General Manager Xu. Just pretend I never made that suggestion.”
Caution keeps you safe, but one careless move can land you in a ditch.
Xu Weixue had her cornered: either marry him under the contract, or lose her job.
3:
Later, they got together.
Wen Nian didn't want their colleagues to know, so she hid their relationship at every turn and asked Xu Weixue to play along.
Wen Nian: “Xu Weixue, when we're at work later, you have to control yourself. Better yet, act like you used to: rude, neurotic, cold, and ruthless.”
Xu Weixue: “?”
Xu Weixue was so exasperated he almost laughed. “Am I embarrassing? The company doesn't ban office romances. Why hide it?”
Wen Nian clasped her hands and pleaded with her eyes. “It's my problem. Just try, okay?”
Right after she'd finished reminding him, they ran into Wen Nian's puppy-like admirer.
Seeing Xu Weixue stare straight ahead and act all high and mighty, Wen Nian tugged at him. “What are you doing? He's a potential client. You should say hello.”
Xu Weixue sneered. “I have to be rude, or people might realize we're dating.”
Wen Nian: “...”
Wen Nian's first blind date, her admirer, gritted his teeth. Damn it, this idiot in front of him was the bastard who'd stolen his girl.
Theme: Love can heal anything
Ah? Ah??? What's going on? Is it going to end like this? I'm really speechless. I've never commented on a novel, and usually just abandon it, but I really feel like I've been slapped with s. It's a bit vulgar. But what's going on with this ending? The heroine didn't express her current feelings that she loved the hero. She just said that she broke up with the hero because of family reasons. Does that tacitly acknowledge that the heroine still has feelings for her now? And then he was inexplicably arranged from one marriage pit to another by his father and the male protagonist? At the end of one chapter, it's hard for me to comment... What I said before is so ridiculous, and the author is not weak. Did he find a ghostwriter to write it later? I really…
Is this fiancé a gay man?
But the female protagonist doesn't know that the other person is the male protagonist, so it's so emmmmmmm.
Logically speaking, in addition to introducing herself, the heroine also needs to explain the purpose of her visit. The heroine knew that the other party was a big boss, so she just said that I was Zhi Tao. What kind of response did she hope to get? I didn't say anything and still got angry at others for not replying. I think this is a bit wrong.
Very pretty! New author? There are so few people
