I Quit, and My Boss Called Me In to Confess

Qiao Qianning's mother told her to come home and prepare for a civil service job. She submitted her resignation to her boss, but to her surprise, the person who called her in for a talk wasn't the HR manager. It was her boss, Yan Che. She wasn't met with an attempt to keep her on, but with a confession he'd been planning for a long time.

When Yan Che first returned to the country, he kept it from his friends and family and opened a small company. The first employee he hired was Qiao Qianning, whose name he'd heard countless times before. But she didn't seem to recognize him?

That's right. All she could see was Lin You.

At first, Yan Che found it fascinating. He couldn't quite believe there was really a girl who wanted to work to support the young master of the Lin family.

Later, perhaps as punishment for his disbelief, he fell hopelessly in love with her.

Qiao Qianning fell in love with Lin You at first sight. After graduating, she came to his hometown, Boyuan City, without hesitation, all for love.

Qiao Qianning rarely appeared in Lin You's social media posts, but she was famous among his friends.

Lin You: When I was a freshman, I couldn't get used to the food. Qianning thought I didn't have money to eat, so she handed out flyers outside and said she wanted to support me...

Whenever his friends heard another one of his insufferable humblebrags, they had mixed feelings: envy and disdain.

That's right. She loved him hopelessly.

But he cheated on her. He thought it was just a bit of fun, while Qiao Qianning broke up with him on her own, changed her phone, moved, and found a new job.

At a gathering with friends, someone offered Yan Che a drink. He took a small sip. "My wife has me on a limit."

The driver came to pick Yan Che up. Qiao Qianning was sitting in the back seat, and Yan Che hurried over. Just then, Lin You came striding over, his eyes red from drinking, and clutched his stomach. "Qianning, my stomach hurts."

Yan Che straightened up and turned to Lin You. "Lin You, if your stomach hurts, you should go to your own wife."
