A Little Soft Candy

[Shocking! My boss decided to offer himself to me so I wouldn't quit!]

Jian Ling fell in love at first sight with her uncle's friend.

To get close to him and win his heart, she did everything she could to land a job at Cheng Group, going from a rich heiress to a pitiful newbie in the workplace.

After pursuing him for months without getting a response, Jian Ling lost hope and resolve, and decisively handed in her resignation.

Who could have guessed that Cheng Zhixu would panic and bombard her with questions? “Why do you want to quit? Is the pay not good? Are you having trouble getting along with your coworkers? Your uncle asked me to look after you. I won't know what to tell him if you do this.”

Jian Ling hurriedly explained, “N-no, it's nothing. It's just that work is too busy, so I don't have time to go on blind dates.”

Cheng Zhixu immediately sensed something was wrong. “You just want a boyfriend, right? How about me? I'll be your boyfriend. Will you stay if I do?”

Happiness came so suddenly that Jian Ling's mind went blank. She thought she'd been thinking about him so much that she'd become obsessed and was hallucinating.

Jian Ling: “...”

Cheng Zhixu, I'm officially telling you: I quit!

Cheng Zhixu: “That's fine. It's not like I can't support you.”

Jian Ling: “!!!”

Cheng Zhixu whispered in her ear, “I wasn't drunk...”
