He Has No Claim to Me, Yet He Keeps Getting Jealous

Xie Yanting had recently noticed something: his boss, Lin Bojing, seemed to have fallen for someone at the company. Here was the evidence:

The man used to wear only suits to work, but lately his style had become incredibly varied. He fussed over his appearance in a different way every day, like a peacock showing off its feathers.

He used to be stern and humorless, peppering everyone with relentless questions in meetings and silently pressuring anyone who couldn't answer. Now, even if a presenter stumbled through their report, he wouldn't say a word, as if he were possessed.

He used to skip even company outings, but now he never missed one. He even ordered breakfast for everyone every morning, calling it an employee benefit, like some generous god of wealth.

Most importantly, when they were alone, his boss would casually ask, "Secretary Xie, what do you think of me today?"

What else could that be but a request for advice from his wingman?

So Xie Yanting gave a perfectly practiced smile and replied sincerely, "You look very handsome today, President Lin."

At one company outing, everyone finally seized their chance. They joined forces and tried every trick they could think of, determined to get Lin Bojing drunk.

Xie Yanting let out an almost imperceptible sigh. He thought to himself that they were far too naive. President Lin could hold his liquor all night.

Then, the very next second, he met Lin Bojing's gaze. His eyes were unfocused, and Xie Yanting's brow twitched. Oh no, they'd actually pulled it off.

Drunk Lin Bojing ignored everyone except Xie Yanting, so his colleagues had no choice but to ask him to take Lin Bojing home.

But as soon as he had hauled the man onto the sofa, Lin Bojing grabbed his hand and yanked him into his arms before he could straighten up.

Warm, alcohol-laced breath brushed against his neck. Just as Xie Yanting was about to get up, the man holding him murmured, "Baby, when are you going to break up... What does your boyfriend have that I don't? I try to seduce you every day, but you're so impossible to sway..."

Xie Yanting, single for all of his 25 years: ?

When did he get a boyfriend?

Wait, had Lin Bojing been showing off for him this whole time?!!!

After realizing his feelings had been exposed, Lin Bojing let loose completely. He didn't even bother pretending anymore.

He still showed off, still ordered breakfast, and still asked Xie Yanting whether he looked handsome that day.

After receiving the answer "Very handsome," he would ask Xie Yanting if he would consider dating him.

Xie Yanting thought it was amusing. Anyone would find it novel to be pursued like this by their direct superior. So one day, after Lin Bojing asked him again, he deliberately replied: [No, President Lin. I still like my boyfriend.]

The reply came right away: [Didn't you tell me you broke up?!]

Xie Yanting could practically picture Lin Bojing's expression. He couldn't help laughing, but the next message immediately wiped the smile off his face.

[I will die for you to see!]
