After quitting her job to escape an inhuman overtime policy that had worked her to the bone,
Wen Fanxing successfully got a job as a full-time nanny for a five-year-old boy. That very day, her luggage was delivered to the Qi residence.
Apart from a housekeeper, the enormous villa was home to only a father and son.
Qi Yan'an was a workaholic. During the half month Wen Fanxing lived at the Qi residence, she saw him only a handful of times.
The first time, he said, "Take good care of Lingnan."
The second time, he gave her a card. "Use it however you like."
The third time, he ate the egg fried rice she'd made and told the housekeeper to give her a raise.
Wen Fanxing thought he was a really good person.
The only problem was that Qi Lingnan didn't act like a five-year-old. Of his 50 pounds, 49 of them seemed to be pure defiance.
Wen Fanxing's daily routine was to pit her wits against the little young master.
For the sake of the money, she put up with it!
Things took a turn when the owner of the convenience store by the entrance to the residential complex went back to his hometown and temporarily entrusted the shop to Wen Fanxing.
While helping her watch the shop, Qi Lingnan fell in love with working and overtime.
Every day he was full of energy, urging Wen Fanxing to go open the shop.
From then on, the young master ate well, slept well, and worked hard, too.
Just as the two were getting ready to expand the business, their secret was accidentally exposed.
Qi Yan'an sat behind his wide desk, his expression stern. "Explain what's going on."
Qi Lingnan timidly raised a hand. "I've been working for Boss Wen lately."
"Who's Boss Wen?"
Wen Fanxing: "...I'm Boss Wen."
Qi Yan'an: "How much is the pay?"
Wen Fanxing: "One lollipop, one cheese stick, one cup of yogurt, one packet of biscuits, one packet of potato chips a day..."
Qi Lingnan cut in: "It used to be two packets of potato chips, but business has been bad lately, so Boss Wen cut my performance bonus."
Qi Yan'an laughed in disbelief. "Wonderful."
Unexpectedly, Wen Fanxing didn't get fired.
Qi Yan'an accepted what the two of them had been doing and even helped take over the shop.
Wen Fanxing once again thought that Qi Yan'an was such a good person!
Until one day, he pinned her against the door and kissed her until she could barely breathe. Only then did she realize that this man was a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing!
For the sake of his broad shoulders, slim waist, eight-pack abs, and refined good looks,
she put up with it again.
But the day Qi Lingnan was taken away by his biological parents,
Wen Fanxing couldn't take it anymore.
"Didn't you say Lingnan was your son?"
Wen Fanxing wept uncontrollably. "Why does he have biological parents, too?!"
Qi Yan'an pulled her into his arms and comforted her. "There, there. If you want a child, I'll make one with you."
He took out a ring and slipped it onto Wen Fanxing's ring finger. "But first, let's get married."
