To get her internship certificate stamped, Ding Lei used connections to get into her cousin-in-law’s company.

To her embarrassment, her cousin-in-law’s daughter, Xi Zhen, seemed to have a problem with her.

Several times, while Ding Lei was still hesitating whether to greet her, she saw Xi Zhen walk away quickly with a cold expression.

Fortunately, the internship period required by the school was only six months. Once the time was up, she could get her stamp and leave.

To ensure Ding Lei had a ride to and from work, their elders arranged for her and Xi Zhen to live together.

Their initially awkward cohabitation gradually took on a different flavor.

The woman who initially avoided her began to have an increasingly strong presence in Ding Lei’s work and personal life.

“Duoduo, I have a document here. Come and get it.”

“Stay for dinner? I can’t finish all this by myself.” The dishes laid out were all Ding Lei’s favorites, and chopsticks were already thoughtfully handed to her.

On the last day of her internship.

“Director Xi, these are the documents that need your approval and stamp.”

“So happy? Did something good happen?”

“My internship certificate is stamped! Once these are done, I won’t have to come anymore!”

After the documents were processed, she was pressed against the desk, and the woman whispered in her ear, “Where should the other stamp go?”

Ding Lei, blushing and annoyed, covered her mouth and threatened weakly, “You, if you do this again, I’ll tell Sister Yongmei!”

Xi Zhen smiled, “Tell her what? That I’m being insubordinate?”

The perennially unchanged archives department added a new position, and on the same day, an intern joined, accompanied by the HR Director.

The intern, Ding Lei, was sweet, cute, well-behaved, and soft-spoken. In contrast, Young Director Xi Zhen was aloof and formidable; no one dared to make mistakes under her supervision.

Gossip is human nature. Everyone felt this newcomer with connections had a significant background. Some even speculated she was the CEO’s illegitimate daughter, Young Director Xi’s half-sister (from a different mother).

However, the two looked nothing alike and their styles were polar opposites, so discerning people scoffed at the latter speculation.

After it was noticed that intern Ding Lei and Xi Zhen were never seen in the same place, the illegitimate daughter rumors intensified.

Until someone witnessed the intern sitting in Young Director Xi’s passenger seat in the garage, car door ajar, the two kissing passionately.

Huh? Can blood sisters do that?

So, not sisters, but lovers? Were they avoiding each other all along to keep it secret???

The rumors took a 180-degree turn, but the individuals involved were completely unaware.

Later, someone reporting work happened upon the CEO and the intern both in Young Director Xi’s office.

Oh ho, now there’s a show to watch!

Indeed, the CEO was very angry; her voice carried through the slightly ajar door.

“Xi Zhen! Duoduo is your younger aunt! How can you address her by her full name?!”

What? Aunt and niece?!!

After work, inside Xi Zhen’s car.

After a lingering, deep kiss, Xi Zhen asked, “Shall I take you home tonight?”

“N-no, I’m not going back,” Ding Lei said softly, her face flushed red, head lowered.

“Then, Little Aunt, one more time, okay?”
