After her family went bankrupt and Qu Mingyou went from a rich heiress to a debt-ridden heiress,
she set out to work and pay off her debts.
Then a new, icy CEO transferred to her company. She was Qu Mingyou's ex-girlfriend.
The CEO was exceptionally aloof and exceptionally sharp-tongued.
The bad news: Qu Mingyou had dumped her, relying on her family's wealth.
The good news: Her ex-girlfriend had a cold expression and seemed not to recognize her.
Qu Mingyou: Well, at least I'm not dead.
Except...
When the CEO faced a team member who was complaining to Qu Mingyou that the project proposal was too difficult,
her ex said, "Are you stupid? You can't even do this?"
When she saw a male manager picking up a delivery for Qu Mingyou,
her ex said, "Did I hire you to work or to rip me off?"
Then her ex turned her gaze to Qu Mingyou, who was eating instant noodles.
And finally walked away with a cold expression.
But things always seemed to happen by coincidence.
For example, whenever Qu Mingyou happened to turn around, she'd catch her ex's gaze before she had time to look away.
But a moment later, her ex would withdraw her gaze as if she didn't care.
Or when Qu Mingyou accidentally knocked over her coffee, her ex would immediately hurry out of the elevator, looking worried.
Seeing Qu Mingyou look at her, her ex put on a cold expression. "What are you looking at? Don't you think you should fix that proposal?"
Qu Mingyou figured it was all just her imagination.
But then one day, after her ex got drunk, she clung to Qu Mingyou, murmuring and whining.
Qu Mingyou steadied her head. "Do you know who I am?"
Her ex struggled to open her eyes wide and look at her, then giggled foolishly and planted a kiss on her cheek. "My wife."
Qu Mingyou froze just as she was about to pull her ex's hand away.
Song Ling looked on the verge of tears. "Why do you always ignore me? Have you forgotten me?"
Qu Mingyou lifted her chin, then kissed her as she gazed up with shining eyes.
Until one day, Qu Mingyou found a diary.
The first page read: I finally saw her. I'm so happy.
The second: Why is she ignoring me? Waaaah.
The third: She looked at me. I want to kiss her.
Later, Qu Mingyou learned that the client who had asked her for help with the proposal had wanted to cut costs all along.
That manager was always secretly photographing her delivery information.
And her ex-girlfriend was always secretly photographing her.
