I Swear I Didn't Seduce My Boss

On his first day at work, Lu Ze'an slipped and crashed into a man's arms. The man's muscles were lean and evenly defined, and they felt incredible.

With his face flushed and his heart pounding, he hurriedly stood up straight and bowed his head, apologizing over and over.

The man straightened his clothes and said coldly, "Can't you come up with any new tricks?"

But in his heart: Such a gorgeous employee?

Lu Ze'an: "?"

A coworker sneered, "Lots of people use that trick to seduce President Mo."

Lu Ze'an: "He's the boss of the whole company! Wait, I really did slip!"

The coworker's expression turned strange. "Hmph."

The next time Lu Ze'an ran into Mo Shengtian, he dutifully lowered his head and greeted him.

"Good morning, President Mo."

Mo Shengtian: "That trick's been overused, too."

In his heart: But what if I'm kind of falling for him?

Lu Ze'an: "Huh?"

President Mo's assistant pointed at his collar, looking disdainful.

Lu Ze'an looked down and froze. His tie had felt too tight, so during his lunch break he'd loosened it, undone his shirt buttons, and gone up to the rooftop for some fresh air.

He'd undone three buttons and forgotten to do them back up.

Lu Ze'an felt wronged.

The next time he ran into Mo Shengtian was at a dog park.

The tiny deerhound Lu Ze'an could hold in one hand was chasing an adult Alaskan Malamute, barking nonstop.

He looked at the Malamute's owner, utterly defeated.

Mo Shengtian: "Plenty of people get dogs just to get close to me."

In his heart: I can't take it anymore. I want to date him.

A friend of President Mo's teased, "You've got quite a lot of admirers. This one's especially dazzling."

Rumors were flying everywhere. His coworkers gossiped about him and made snide remarks, convinced he was deliberately trying to seduce his boss.

Lu Ze'an couldn't take it anymore. He submitted his resignation. If he never had anything to do with Mo Shengtian again, surely no one would mistake him for someone who'd deliberately tried to seduce his boss.

Instead, Lu Ze'an ran into Mo Shengtian again at a job fair.

Mo Shengtian: "I haven't even approved your resignation, and you're already rushing to find another job?"

In his heart: Let's see who dares to steal you from me.

Awkwardly, Lu Ze'an shook his head, then suddenly felt dizzy.

Mo Shengtian caught him and clicked his tongue. "Faking low blood sugar? I've seen that trick plenty of times, too."

In his heart: I've already held him. It wouldn't be unreasonable to marry him, would it?

As Lu Ze'an's consciousness started to fade, he couldn't take it anymore. "Can I freaking hit you or not?!"

The honest, long-suffering one: 25

The older man who pursues him: 33

He falls first, then sweetly pursues his beloved.
