Childhood Friends | Stealing Someone's Love | Reunited After a Breakup | Male Lead Who Stays Still
Bright, pampered heiress vs. cold, scheming man in power
[1]
Last week, the head office parachuted a new CEO into its domestic branch. His coworkers jokingly called him "the cutter" because he was always cutting people from the payroll. Rumor had it that the design department where Meng Yicheng worked was next on the chopping block.
Her coworkers panicked, but Meng Yicheng was unmoved. She was a pampered heiress from a wealthy family, and work was just a way to pass the time. But when she heard that the "cutter's" surname was Su, she realized there might be trouble.

It took Meng Yicheng three years to move on from her last relationship. When the CEO, Mr. Su, paid a visit to the design department, his presence was composed and refined, his bearing elegant and distinguished. He looked over the many faces in the department without letting his gaze linger on her for even a moment.
Her heart sank, but at the same time, she secretly felt relieved.
That was for the best.
She turned around and began accepting the advances of her childhood friend, Feng Jiayao.
"But I'm your childhood friend too." The CEO, Mr. Su, followed behind her, his eyes full of wounded reproach.

Not long after, the design department was cleared out anyway, and Meng Yicheng became unemployed. With nothing to do, she crawled her toes up Su Linuan's calf.
He knew she was bored again, just like back in their freshman year. Setting aside his work, he patiently urged her to go study in Italy.
Meng Yicheng agreed, but then went along with her family's arrangements and headed to Australia to stay with her aunt.
Her aunt introduced her to Jamie Yang, a third-generation Chinese Australian.
Jamie Yang was funny and romantic, and pursued her with fervor.
One day, Jamie threw a birthday party, planning to propose to Meng Yicheng after it ended. Carrying a ring box, he searched for her inside and outside the house. When he knocked on her bedroom door, a thudding sound came from within.
The party music was too loud. The person making the thudding sound took the condom from the man's hand and tossed it aside.
"Then don't wear one, if you've got the guts!"
Su Linuan's voice was heated, yet full of approval. "You gave me a chance after all, didn't you, little sister Yicheng?"
