The Thirty-Year Promise [Heaven-Sent]

[Resilient, boundary-conscious married accountant x Gentle boss who has been secretly devoted to her for years]

A chance meeting beats childhood sweethearts | The hero wins her over | A powerful man bows to love

Tong Pangluo is the chief accountant at a leading medical-device research and development company.

Her former boss was stripped of his position for corruption and bribery, and the group immediately parachuted in a mysterious successor.

The new general manager is only in his early thirties.

He's handsome, but extremely shrewd and perceptive.

Working with him leaves Pangluo on edge, and she privately nicknames him "the smiling fox."

Still, ever since he arrived, their finance department has received plenty of support.

Afternoon tea and little cakes in the office never run out.

Her colleagues all say President Chen pays special attention to her. Sometimes, when she isn't in the office and he stops by, he always asks, "Where's Accountant Tong?"

When Tong Pangluo hears about it, she curses him under her breath: Damn capitalists, they won't leave working people a single moment of free time.

Tong Pangluo is married to a childhood friend.

So she uses that as an excuse to turn down the team-building events and dinners Chen Mubai organizes. Everyone at the company knows her family keeps a tight leash on her.

She never expected to divorce her husband just one year after getting married.

After Tong Pangluo's divorce, Chen Mubai, who lives in the same neighborhood, takes advantage of the opportunity and moves in.

When he comes by, little Fenfen still remembers him, rolling around and rubbing against his leg.

As they kiss passionately, Chen Mubai pulls his lips away just a little.

Using the same tone he uses at the negotiating table, he tells Pangluo, "You know why my eyes are always on you, don't you? Marry me."

Tong Pangluo holds her breath and slips out of his arms, regretting her impulsive behavior.

They're still in a boss-subordinate relationship. How are they supposed to work together from now on?

She steels herself and says calmly, "President Chen may not know this, but accountants who date their bosses don't have a good reputation in our line of work."

Chen Mubai pulls her back into his arms and kisses her.

"I'll find a way to deal with that. All you have to do is say yes."
