Reunited with My Abstinent Boss—Now He Won't Let Me Go

Wen Yao is a single mother who has spent the last five years raising her four-year-old daughter, Wen Xin, in obscurity after a painful breakup. During their university years, she was a quiet, overweight student who fell in love with Xing Yu, a charismatic and popular campus heartthrob with a military background. Their relationship was a secret source of comfort for Wen Yao, but it ended abruptly when she overheard Xing Yu revealing to his friends that he was only playing with her and intended to discard her after graduation. Devastated and humiliated, Wen Yao dropped out of university, disappeared from all social circles, and gave birth to their daughter in secret. She rebuilt her life as a humble designer, determined to protect her child from the pain she endured.

The story begins with a chance encounter at a café where Wen Yao mistakenly identifies Xing Yu as her blind date. Xing Yu, now a successful executive returning from military service, does not recognize the transformed Wen Yao, who has lost weight and regained her confidence. After the misunderstanding is cleared, Xing Yu becomes obsessed with finding the woman he remembers, unaware she is the mother of his child. His inquiries lead him to Professor Yu, Wen Yao’s former mentor, who lies to protect her, claiming Wen Yao went abroad. Meanwhile, Wen Yao navigates her new job at Shenghua Company, where she faces unwanted attention from a persistent colleague, Zhang Wenbin, and the looming threat of layoffs.

A significant turning point occurs when Xing Yu is appointed as the new CEO of Shenghua Company, making him Wen Yao’s direct superior. Their paths cross repeatedly, including a chance meeting at a cinema where Xing Yu interacts warmly with Wen Xin, not realizing the child is his daughter. Xing Yu’s suspicion grows when he discovers that the woman he met, whose name sounds similar to Wen Yao’s, has no record of traveling abroad. His investigation reveals that Professor Yu’s story was false, deepening his curiosity and determination to uncover the truth about Wen Yao’s disappearance.

As Xing Yu delves deeper, he begins to suspect that the woman he is pursuing is actually Wen Yao, the girl he wronged years ago. His internal conflict intensifies as he grapples with guilt over his past actions and a growing attraction to the woman he now knows as Wen Yao. Simultaneously, Wen Yao struggles to maintain her distance from Xing Yu while protecting her daughter’s identity. The narrative explores the complexities of their past, the secrets they keep, and the potential for redemption and reconciliation as their lives become increasingly intertwined.

The story unfolds against the backdrop of corporate politics and personal revelations, with Xing Yu’s pursuit of the truth threatening to expose Wen Yao’s hidden past. As they navigate their complicated history, both characters must confront their feelings and the consequences of their past decisions. The narrative sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation where secrets may finally come to light, forcing Wen Yao and Xing Yu to address the pain of the past and determine the future of their family.
