My Ex Who I Dumped Became My New Boss

Because of work, Tan Xiangming moves to a humid, hot city in the south.

Her new position is great in every way, except for her new boss, Hao Liuhua, the chairman's daughter, who can't stand her.

Every day, Hao Liuhua drags her into the office, and they don't come out for at least half an hour. Sometimes, employees passing by can hear Hao Liuhua's scolding.

Whenever Tan Xiangming comes out, her eyes are red with grievance.

Her coworkers all comfort her, saying Hao Liuhua just has a short temper.

Only after getting into the car home does Tan Xiangming pull up the zipper on her back, which Hao Liuhua deliberately opened, and wipe away the lipstick marks she left behind. She thinks nonchalantly:

The old Hao Liuhua was cool and aloof, with a fiery temper. The only thing soft about her was her lips.

At home, Tan Xiangming brushes away the condensation on the windows and doors, unfastens Hao Liuhua's prim uniform, removes her accessories, then sits on the sofa and calls her over.

Hao Liuhua kisses Tan Xiangming's bitten-red wrist, little by little, then strokes her ankle and asks, "When can I become a permanent employee?"

Tan Xiangming hooks her toes, making Hao Liuhua retreat to where a dog belongs. "We only have a two-year agreement. Hao Liuhua, I'm not the one who needs you. You're the one who needs me."

No one knows that Hao Liuhua's scolding in the office every day comes from her inability to restrain herself when aroused, and that each moan has been coaxed out of her by Tan Xiangming's palm.

No one knows either that they once kept their relationship secret at school, and even then Tan Xiangming held the reins, calling her addicted Big Sister Hao "such a good girl."

Later, Tan Xiangming abruptly ended their unequal relationship. She still remembers the night they broke up, when Hao Liuhua bit her lip until it bled.
