I am a domineering Chairman, female. Every day, countless men and women throw themselves at me. But they’re all the same, bland, predictable, and utterly unremarkable. None of them interest me. If I’m going to fall for someone, they have to make my head spin, set my world on fire.... more>>

To put it simply, they have to be ridiculously good-looking.

Then, one day, my new secretary walked in. And for five whole seconds, I just stood there, stunned.

What. A. Beautiful. Man.

I lifted his chin with a smirk, my voice low and teasing. “Tell me your name, handsome.”

The new secretary replied, “…Boss, maybe get down from the chair first?”

I cleared my throat, pretending I hadn’t heard that. Keeping my face serious, I pressed on. “Your name.”

Number 188. There are 187 people ahead of you.

I was speechless.

I lifted my gaze to watch him walk off, flames of determination flickering in my eyes. Ah. Playing hard to get, are we?

Interesting.

Congratulations handsome, you’ve officially caught my attention. You’re the one.

But honestly? If he wanted to apologize properly— He should’ve crossdressed and apologized.

Yan Wenshu’s expression twisted as if he still hadn’t fully recovered from the experience. He touched his face and muttered, “Because I was born with this.”

The child was bewildered, “?”
