The year Chi Li met Tan Manxi was the most wretched year of her twenty-two years of life.

She graduated from college, struggled to find work, and lost the job offer she had finally managed to secure. The only reason she got an internship at Junda was her roommate's help. Her boyfriend of four years, whom she had dated since college, cheated on her. They broke up, he kept pestering her, and her emotions came crashing back, leaving her utterly exhausted.

In that wretched state, she met the most dazzling person she had ever known: Tan Manxi, a senior partner at the law firm.

She coldly dumped heaps of documents on Chi Li and made her work overtime, yet she also wiped away the tears on Chi Li's cheek without changing expression and told her not to cry over other people.

Chi Li thought her feelings for Tan Manxi were admiration and gratitude. Love was the one thing she never expected.

Upcoming danmei novel:

[Socially Anxious, Insecure, Lazy, Silly Pretty Bottom x Aloof, Gentle, Domineering CEO Top]

After his company went bankrupt, Xiang Xiaoyu received not a cent in severance pay and was forced into unemployment. He collected unemployment benefits for three months and ate instant noodles for three months. After running into one dead end after another, he finally got through the hard times and found a new job.

The work was easy, the company had a great environment, and most importantly, the salary was even better than at his last job.

At last, the hard times were over. After signing the contract, Xiang Xiaoyu used the last bit of money on his bank card to stock up on another case of instant noodles, and spent all of it on a pack of sausages.

But on his first day at work, just before quitting time, he was sent to the CEO's office with some documents. He suddenly had the vague feeling that the company boss looked a little like his long-vanished ex-boyfriend, who might not even be alive anymore.

Distracted, he accidentally knocked over the coffee on the boss's desk.

The secretary panicked and called out, "Mr. Lu!"

"Lu Yan?" The name slipped out before he could stop himself. The man raised his eyes to look at him, his dark pupils unfathomably deep.

Xiang Xiaoyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, promptly died.

How can the world be this small???

Is it still in time to grab my things and run?

-

Lu Yan never imagined he would run into Xiang Xiaoyu at his own company.

When they graduated from high school, he confessed to Xiang Xiaoyu. Just days after they got together, something suddenly happened in his family, and he had no choice but to leave without a word.

So many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
