▲ Secretary x Boss

On a rainy day, an unexpected guest showed up at Song Zhixi's rented apartment.
She sat by the kitchen island, gently swinging her leg, the tip of her high heel brushing against the man's trouser-clad calf as if by chance.
The old television played the evening news as usual. The announcer's voice was calm and measured, much like the state Song Zhixi had grown weary of.
"Don't come here again. It looks bad."
"What about when you slipped a condom into my pocket?"
Most of the ice in the glass had melted. Beads of water trailed down Shao Xiu's jaw and over his Adam's apple, dampening his collar.
He held down Song Zhixi's restless leg, pinched her soft cheek, and spoke in a low, magnetic voice. "Rather than go to all that trouble hiding it, why don't we..."
Song Zhixi suddenly straightened and covered his mouth. "I don't want to be a stepmother."
Shao Xiu pulled her hand away and braced both arms beside her, looking down at her for a long moment before giving a scoff. "Fine."
The conversation was over. Her resignation was approved.
On the day Song Zhixi set off toward her new life, a black Pagani cut off her car.
The air suddenly felt thin. His grip on her wrist hurt. She looked up and mocked him in a gentle voice. "What? Is President Shao such a sore loser?"
Shao Xiu's gaze was fixed on the red mark at the side of her neck. His callused ring finger pressed hard against it. "You're going to find someone else with the marks I left on you? Who do you think you're looking down on?"

*The heroine has amnesia. The hero has a reason for not explaining things.
*They've already been married, so of course this is going to be wildly satisfying. ^^

Theme: It was just a fling, so why are you taking it seriously, kid's dad?
