President Ling Seems to Really Love Me

Blurb written and archived on December 1, 2023

Xi Xun has worked as the president's secretary at the Ling Group for three years without making a single mistake. He's highly capable, dedicated to his work and the company, and always knows his place. He's President Ling Luchi's right-hand man.

Everyone at the company says, “No one could ever take Secretary Xi's place in President Ling's heart.”

That is, until Xi Xun was framed by a rival and ended up in bed with Ling Luchi.

The next morning, Xi Xun felt as if a dog had chewed him all over. Calmly holding his lower back, he got dressed and went to Ling Luchi's office that very day to hand in his resignation.

As someone who had worked for Ling Luchi for three years, he knew exactly how to protect his boss's privacy.

He just hadn't expected the man to casually toss his resignation aside without even looking at it.

“Secretary Xi, cancel my ten o'clock appointment.”

Xi Xun: “?”

“Come with me to get our marriage license.”

Ling Luchi is a traditional, career-driven workaholic. In his thirty years of life, he's never been in a relationship. After taking over the company, he devoted himself to managing the family business. Marriage had never once been part of his plans.

Until he ended up in bed with his own secretary.

The education he received growing up didn't allow him to simply cut things off with someone, and this wasn't much trouble anyway. He trusted Secretary Xi's character.

Married life wasn't much different from what he'd imagined. He still went to work, handled business, and traveled occasionally. The only difference was

There was another person in his bed at night.

Without his work clothes, the young man seemed less sharp and capable. He was gentle, and beautiful.

Xi Xun had showered and was sitting on the bed in comfortable pajamas. As usual, he asked his boss what he planned to do. “President Ling, are we going straight to sleep tonight?”

Ling Luchi stood by the bed, his blood surging and every trace of sleep gone.

He thought that things seemed to be getting a little complicated.

Things were getting more and more complicated.

Ling Luchi realized he couldn't take his eyes off Xi Xun.

Xi Xun handed him a document, and he looked at Xi Xun's hands.

Xi Xun poured him water, and he looked at Xi Xun's waist.

Xi Xun told him it was time for a meeting, and he looked at Xi Xun's face.

They started going to bed later and later each night.

Until one day, Xi Xun came to hand in his resignation again, holding his lower back.

Ling Luchi gave him a deep look, intending to toss it in the trash.

Xi Xun put down a pregnancy test report first, his face flushed and, unusually, a little sulky.

“I told you to use protection, but you just wouldn't...”
