#Sunny, Straightforward Guy x Gloomy Little Mouse#
Blurb:
01
Everyone in the industry knows the name Liu Ziyu.
A star designer who swept up awards at home and abroad before his mid-twenties, he is handsome, sunny, and modest, the very image of a gifted hero straight out of a book.
No one expected that after returning to China, this award-winning designer would suddenly join Heyue, a small company that had never quite taken off.
The whole group was thrilled.
Surrounded by people, the man accepted a bouquet distractedly, his gaze settling on a man and a woman standing apart from the crowd.
The manager followed his gaze and helpfully explained, "That girl is our company's executive director, Chen Mengjie. Her boyfriend came to pick her up."
"Oh," Liu Ziyu replied, his face unusually cold. "He's nothing special."
The manager looked awkward and tried to save face for his employee. "Xiao Chen just didn't dress up today..."
Liu Ziyu turned his head and glanced over again, frowning slightly. "I meant her boyfriend."

Chen Mengjie never thought she would have anything to do with Liu Ziyu again.
Now he had suddenly appeared at her company as a special guest consultant. Their eyes met for an instant, but his expression was as distant as that of a stranger. He quickly looked away.
That made sense. They each had their own lives now.
She had followed her family's arrangements and gotten engaged after a matchmaking date. He was still as dazzling as he had been in school, with a brilliant future ahead of him.
They should stay out of each other's way.
But after the crowd dispersed, that familiar voice slowly rang out beside her.
"Long time no see."
"Three years since you left without a word, and still no explanation, ex-girlfriend?"

After yet another argument with her boyfriend, Chen Mengjie finally asked to break up.
His whole family joined in to try to win her back. Even her own parents messaged her, saying she would never find another man with such good prospects.
She stayed late at work to avoid her ex-boyfriend's attempts to corner her. Just when she finally got the chance to leave, she ran into Liu Ziyu, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
The atmosphere turned strange. Her gaze fell on the bouquet of roses he was holding, and before she knew it, she asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes. I found her."
The answer was unexpectedly direct.
Confused, she checked to make sure no one else was around. "Your girlfriend?"
Liu Ziyu fell silent for a moment. His ears turned even redder than the roses. "If you're still willing."
