(Cold and Aloof) CEO with Russian Bloodline (Gong/Top)

 Silly, Adorable, Slightly Flirty Intern (Shou/Bottom)

As graduation approached, Xu Le joined a reputable company. The company offered excellent benefits and treatment, with frequent treats from beautiful female colleagues. Other than the occasional need to work overtime, everything seemed perfect. However, why did the god-like CEO look at him in such an odd way…?

Before Joining:
“President Lan, believe me, I can bring more than just a new employee to the company. I will excel in my role and prove my value to you!” Xu Le’s eyes shone with determination.

Lan Qing raised his eyes, his tone indifferent, “You’re hired. I need to see your value.”

Three Months into the Job:
“Thank you, President Lan. You can let go now…”
Xu Le carefully held a sample that was worth his monthly salary and steadied himself.

Lan Qing calmly withdrew his hand, “Be more careful next time.”

Feeling the warmth and flexibility of Xu Le’s narrow waist linger on his fingertips, Lan Qing thought, maybe it’s time to consider making this little intern permanent.

One Year into the Job:
Lan Qing’s tall figure gradually approached. With no escape, Xu Le was pressed against the door, looking into the deep, beautiful blue eyes of the other. His heart raced.

“Thirsty, baby? Let me get you a glass of water,” Lan Qing said, caressing Xu Le’s lips, dry from work reporting.

Xu Le, embarrassed and annoyed, responded, “The company forbids office romances, President Lan, please behave!”

Lan Qing, however, pinched his flushed cheek, teasingly saying, “No one can hear us here. Be good, call me hubby.”

Hm. The characters are likeable enough that it's good for if you really just want one of those silly, lightweight romances where you turn your brain off and enjoy watching the couple come together in the most cliched, predictable, trope-filled way.

It's nice that there are some other characters who feel like proper characters (even if not fleshed out), and it's nice that this stereotypical cold CEO does actually have some personality.

For me, it's just too full of certain tropes and clichés of this genre that... more>> have always annoyed me.

A few examples: The naive "straight" shou who manages to find every reason not to think this is all gay. I'm fine with a nuanced, realistic progression of a character discovering they have feelings for someone of the same s*x and perhaps having to come to terms with that. This is instead an example of when it's used just to drag out the couple getting together, and to be "funny" because the MC is exceptionally dense about it.

Really stereotyped "roles" in the relationship. In one part the MC is even comparing the ML to a more effeminate person he once knew who was gay, and thinking the ML can't be gay because he's not like that - and the author's comments at the end have the ML saying "Did you ever think I might be a top?" GAH. I personally really hate when writers rigidly equate a preference for a s*xual position with a set physical type and personality type. I also dislike the repetitive relationship formula that goes with this type of writing.

If you're someone who either doesn't mind those things, or even enjoys those clichés, then I'm guessing this might turn out to be a pretty sweet little time waster.

For me, although I want to like the story, I've hit my cringe limit. <<less

It’s another one of those ‘It would’ve been sooo good if it was fleshed out more.’

Has a lot of my favorite tags, but is mediocre with execution & pacing. Average but still entertaining premise, but main CP’s relationship was too rushed. Still cute & has a lot of sweet moments

For what I’ve read up to now, it’s 3 stars. I’m not too sure how to describe the writing, it’s written in an immature way, and the plot is too fast paced and unrealistic. You’re telling me that because they shared an elevator twice, now they have eyes for each other? And I think the writer was trying to make the plot feels relatable but failed to do so, making the characters seem phoney instead. Overall unlikeable characters.

It is quite cute, has above decent writing for this genre. But I think it wad a tad boring for what I was craving, so I could not read any more of it.

Hope others give it a chance and hopefully like it more than me!

Thank you, TL, for the hard work!
