His Searing Lie

share time: 2025-11-03 12:32:11

Su Xiao, a "firefighter" at an advertising company, stayed up late revising plans for a key project that her colleagues had pushed onto her. During these nights, Lin Shen, an "intern programmer" sitting next to her, always handed her a cup of hot coffee—he wore a washed-out shirt, ate 5-yuan plain noodles, and his computer screensaver was an old house in his hometown, making him the "poor but warm" presence in the office. Their relationship blossomed, until Su Xiao saw him in a custom suit at a client's banquet—turns out he was the missing heir to Jiangshan Group for three years, who had hidden his identity to investigate his mother's death. What Su Xiao didn't know was that the project she was fighting to prove herself with was actually a "counterattack gift" from Lin Shen: he had secretly collected core data on competitors for her—those plans mocked by colleagues as "overestimating herself" had already been sent to the client by Lin Shen, just to let her talent be seen. When Lin Shen said with red eyes, "I was afraid you loved my money, not me," Su Xiao smiled and took out a report about his days as a volunteer programmer during his studies: "What I love is the Lin Shen who blows on the hot coffee before handing it to me."
