My Boss Keeps Thinking I'm Pursuing Him

Xiao Yang has outstanding abilities, so he is temporarily assigned to Technology Team One, personally led by the boss. He works overtime every day for a whole month.

He can't take it anymore and curses the boss as a freak behind his back. The boss catches him in the act, and Xiao Yang's legs go weak on the spot.

What do you do when your boss catches you insulting him behind his back? Of course, you beg for forgiveness.

After asking around, Xiao Yang buys the boss's favorite black coffee and respectfully brings it to his office.

To his surprise, it works astonishingly well. The boss not only lets him off the hook, but gives him a promotion, a raise, and time off.

Xiao Yang quickly gets the hang of it. Whenever he messes up, he hurries over to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, melting the boss's icy heart.

Until one day, Gu Che suddenly stops him. "The company forbids office romances. You know that, right?"

Xiao Yang doesn't understand. His big eyes blink as his inner gossip-lover bursts into flame. "What? There's romance at the company? Who's dating whom?"

Gu Che looks at him strangely and points to the heart on the potted plant Xiao Yang gave him. "You. You're in love with me."

Xiao Yang never expected to cause that misunderstanding. He is struck as if by lightning and forced to explain, but the boss's expression grows darker and darker. Xiao Yang immediately drops to his knees.

"I'm sorry, Boss, I was wrong. I won't beg for mercy again. No, I mean, I won't sweet-talk you again. That's not right either..."

After one thing led to another, Xiao Yang somehow ended up with his boss. Then one day, he was caught in the act again.

A young woman at the front desk is heartbroken, and Xiao Yang kindly comforts her. "If the old guy doesn't come, the young one will. Men start going downhill at twenty-five, and by thirty they're no good anymore..."

He turns around to find the boss looking at him with narrowed, dangerous eyes.

That night, Xiao (24) Yang is pinned to the bed and thoroughly disciplined by Gu (30) Che.

Xiao Yang keeps begging for mercy. "Boss, I'm sorry. I didn't say you were no good."

Gu Che raises an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied. "What are you supposed to call me at home?"

Both of Xiao Yang's ears turn bright red. He forces the word out through clenched teeth. "Husband..."
