Has the Boss Bost His Temper Today?

Duan Shiming is the only beta of his generation in his family. Born prematurely, he has always been in poor health, yet he's an energetic, walking troublemaker.

After spending a year at home recovering, he couldn't stand it anymore and decided to run away to get a job, determined to prove himself.

Who knew that on his first day at work, he'd rear-end the CEO's Cullinan?

Then the CEO caught him sneaking a snack on the job.

Caught red-handed, he could only talk back.

He fell asleep during a meeting, and the CEO called him out in front of everyone.

He knocked on the CEO's door in the middle of the night to go over work procedures.

And he arranged a whirlwind business trip for the CEO, shuttling between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in just two days.

Chu Yanzhou: "..."

Did they hire him to torture me?!

His boss, Chu Yanzhou, was a stern, unsmiling Alpha. He was so fierce that he was always calling Duan Shiming an idiot and telling him to get lost.

In the end, Duan Shiming got so fed up that he poured hot water on the CEO's favorite succulent.

The next second, the CEO grabbed him by the back of the neck. Duan Shiming turned around, met the CEO's dark expression, and smiled brightly. "Oh, Mr. Chu, you're not late today."

"Come to my office," Chu Yanzhou said.

[Bonus Scene]

One night, Chu Yanzhou went into heat.

The damn boss summoned Duan Shiming to his home late at night to deliver some documents. Just as Duan Shiming pushed the door open, a burning-hot body pinned him against it from behind.

"?"

"Secretary Duan, mark me."

Ten minutes later--

Chu Yanzhou, eyes red-rimmed: "Why can't I mark you? Why..."

Duan Shiming: "Serves you right. You deserve it."

Next upcoming novel: My Husband Is So Rich!

Gu Wan is someone Chu Shiyan brought home to raise.

He raises him from a timid, easily frightened crybaby (?) into a confident, spoiled young man.

One day, Gu Wan loses a watch worth over a million and cries his eyes out.

Chu Shiyan thinks the little tyrant is about to throw a fit, and gets ready to comfort him. "What's wrong?"

Gu Wan throws himself into Chu Shiyan's arms, looks up, and keeps crying. "Waaah, I lost the watch you gave me. It cost millions. I'm sorry."

Chu Shiyan strokes his head. "Why are you suddenly trying to be good and apologizing to me again? If you lose it, we'll just buy another one. Your husband has money."

Everyone in the Chu Luo family knows that the young heir's darling has a lot of nerve, and that the heir has spoiled him since childhood.
