After Secretary Su Resigned, They Started Chasing Her

[Coming soon: Shut Up, Hubby! See the end for the blurb.] --Blurb-- A lovesick, oblivious top × a cool, aloof beauty bottom After Xie Shiyu became CEO of the company, the person he was most grateful to was his hardworking secretary, Su Zhuo. Secretary Su was the most handsome among workaholics, and the best at his job among handsome men. Aside from being a little aloof and ignoring President Xie in private, he was perfect in every way. But lately, Xie Shiyu had heard that Secretary Su was planning to quit because he found the job too exhausting. Even Su's friends had complained on his behalf. After much soul-searching, Xie Shiyu decided to treat Secretary Su a little better. A promotion and a raise. Double the annual leave. Checking in on him and asking after his health. Even personally driving him to and from work. Not for any other reason, of course, but to let Su Zhuo feel the company's humanity and the CEO's care. After a while, Su Zhuo started treating him better and better. Xie Shiyu decided to seize the moment, tell him how he felt, and convince him to stay. “Secretary Su, I have something to tell you.” Assistant Su stood ramrod straight. A suspicious blush spread across his cool, elegant face as he stammered, “Don't talk about anything else during work hours. I accept your confession.” Xie Shiyu: “?” * After falling for his damn boss, Su Zhuo felt like he was betraying the working class. But he couldn't help how he felt, and after struggling with it for a while, the usually composed secretary decided to quit. But then his boss began pursuing him relentlessly. After watching him uneasily for a while, Su Zhuo reached a conclusion: Xie Shiyu liked him. At last, he blushed and accepted Xie Shiyu's advances. Xie Shiyu promptly spat out a mouthful of coffee and could barely hold on to his cup. He's so happy he's trembling, Su Zhuo thought. But the delighted Xie Shiyu he saw instead looked horrified and blurted, “W-what did you say? I'm pursuing you?!” “?” The smile on Secretary Su's lips slowly froze. * Secretary Su quit without warning. His office was empty, and he hadn't even left behind a pen. When Xie Shiyu showed up at his door looking aggrieved, Su Zhuo merely glanced at him. “What are you doing here?” Xie Shiyu looked at him. “...I'm here to pursue you.” - What I thought was habit turned out to be flesh and blood I couldn't bear to part with, because I loved you too deeply. - One-on-one / Both are each other's first and only / Happy ending Coming Soon: Shut Up, Hubby! [Stone-faced husband top × bad-tempered bottom] [Ji Tingli (top) × Jiang Ling (bottom)] The heirs of the powerful Ji and Jiang families were married off in a union that sent shockwaves through Nancheng. Their families were a perfect match, but their personalities couldn't have been more different. Ji Tingli was arrogant and used to being in control. Jiang Ling was aloof and haughty, and looked at everyone as if they were trash. With two tempers like theirs, they started arguing as soon as they met, and were officially living apart just one month after getting married. It began when Ji Tingli overheard Jiang Ling chatting with a friend: “...Ji Tingli has a bad temper and a short fuse, and he comes home after feeding the dog without washing his hands. The only things he has going for him are his face and his body. Other than that, he doesn't have any good qualities...” The contempt in his voice made Ji Tingli feel like a speck of dust for anyone to trample. Furious, Ji Tingli suggested that they live separately. To his surprise, Jiang Ling readily agreed. “Fine. Let's live apart.” Ji Tingli: “?” Jiang Ling: That was the best suggestion to come out of his useless mouth. Ji Tingli: This is insane. Is this guy completely immune to threats? * Word of their separation spread quickly. Everyone tacitly agreed that the Ji and Jiang families were on bad terms, and plenty of people started making their moves. At parties, more and more people tried to set Ji Tingli and Jiang Ling up with others. Ji Tingli didn't spare them a glance, but he watched a crowd of people flutter around Jiang Ling like butterflies. Ji Tingli's face darkened. He pushed his way to Jiang Ling's side, wrapped an arm around his waist, and bit at his ear, his words vicious despite their intimacy. “Are you trying to cheat on me while we're married?” Jiang Ling swirled the wine in his glass, the corner of his eye alluring. “We have to live apart for a full year before we can file for divorce. If you're that worried about the color of the hat on your head, I can put up with you for a few more months.” That night, Jiang Ling couldn't hold back, and neither could Ji Tingli. All their efforts to live apart for months came to nothing in a single night. The next day. Ji Tingli gritted his teeth. “You hate me, don't you? Then why were you crying and calling me hubby last night?” Jiang Ling kept a straight face. “You can't stand the sight of me, can you? Then why were you holding me and saying, ‘Baby, you're amazing’ last night?” “...” Jiang Ling gave him a cold look and impatiently pushed the person in the blankets. “If we're going to argue, can you stop hugging me first?” - Reading Guide: 1.
