Sharp tongue, honest heart x doesn't know what's good for her
Reunion after a long separation | Can't forget each other | Long-planned pursuit | Secret office romance
After earning her master's degree, Xu Mi joined a law firm.
The administrative department had little to do and was close to home. The only downside: her boss was Tan Yan, the man she'd pursued back in the day.
The man was elegant, handsome, and renowned in the industry. He was the number-one heartthrob in the legal world, even more untouchable than before, and he no longer remembered who she was.
Forced by circumstances, Xu Mi could only keep her head down.
As fate would have it, her colleagues got nosy and asked whether a client was pursuing Tan Yan like crazy.
Xu Mi awkwardly brushed them off. "No idea if it's a client, but whoever it is, they're definitely crazy."
Just then, Tan Yan happened to walk by. He stopped casually and gave her a cool, indifferent glance. "Crazy?"
"..."
The man sneered. "You weren't exactly any better back then."
Colleagues: What the hell? Is there a story here?
Xu Mi: ...Why is he still pretending to have amnesia?!
2. Embarrassing old stories spread through the office, so Xu Mi took a hard look at herself and applied for a transfer to a branch office.
She swore under the lights, "My feelings for you are completely aboveboard. Once I'm transferred, I won't bother you again!"
But after his shower, Tan Yan pinned her against the wall. His long eyes were dark and deep, his breath tantalizingly close. "What if I'm the one who wants to bother you?"
3. Back then, Xu Mi had brazenly pursued Tan Yan.
Everyone knew Xu Mi had shamelessly thrown herself at him, but no one knew that the day after she had thoroughly seduced him, Xu Mi dumped him.
That night, the aloof and proud son of heaven got drunk and beat his roommate badly enough to put him in the hospital. It became the campus's most sensational pure-love scandal that year.
At the time, Tan Yan had thought more than once through clenched teeth: Xu Mi, you'd better hope you never fall into my hands.
But years later, when she really did fall into his hands, he ended up giving her everything all over again.
It wasn't until much later that Xu Mi learned from an old friend that she had been the sole reason Tan Yan had gone against all convention back then.
She was also the only thing he'd longed for and never forgotten all these years.
[Bonus scene]
Tan Yan was hospitalized due to illness, and his colleagues went to visit him as a group.
To their surprise, in the hospital room, Xu Mi stood with her hands on her hips, putting their big boss in his place. "If you don't eat properly, you're not allowed to sleep in my room for the rest of the month."
The usually cool and self-possessed man didn't get angry. Instead, he pulled her close and smiled indulgently. "Fine."
"..."
"You have to feed me."
Everyone who hadn't gone in yet: !!!
The boss's wife was right beside us this whole time???
*Both are virgins, one-on-one, happy ending
