you mean Shang Zhitao? Flora?

I think they mentioned osmanthus with milk and honey

yes, it's what she wanted but it seems like she is regretting it already. ep 10 her statement when she thought over him reprimanding her as the boss but not giving her leeway because of their relationship. it seems she really is not equipped to have an in office relationship. the secret part is not relevant to this. She can not separate personal from business while Luke can with no problems.

ah the employment contract. I thought there was a relationship contract I missed.

same here. it's really good us longing for more of their longing is crazy 😂

what contract?

She agreed to the relationship because she didn't want their relationship to be public and it affect her goals. if she were to announce they are dating everything she worked hard for would be denounced to she made it their because s-e is sleeping with the CEO

I disagree. she was already attracted to him before they even met. replay ep 1 the beginning. on the way to her interview he had already caught her attention. if anything their praises of him just reaffirms what she has. She genuinely likes him.

i feel like my perspective of Flora is different from most

people see her as weak, naive, and immature.

I see her as a strong young lady who is experiencing new things and she has to maneuver through life just like anyone else.

I don't find her naive, I find her accepting. I think she is more accepting because she is also ambitious. She has a goal and she understands that to reach that goal she has to appease some people, she has to sacrifice a little to get a little and I think her strategy is working well for her so far. But she will also have some bumps on this journey. most will be reactions from her peers and some will be the consequences of her choices.

Weak? if this girls 🥠 can withstand all these advances from Luke, her mindset must be like a brick wall. Actually we can see she is quietly stubborn.

She has a plan and it took a long time for Luke to break her wall and got her to accommodate him.

But her accomodations for him are appeasements for her as well. she gets what she wants.

I don't see weak, naive, or immature. I see someone let's use cooking for example - someone in the kitchen making a curry dish for the first time - following the recipe with what they have and the first time it doesn't taste as good as they expected. She adjusts on the next time and the next time until she finds her rhythm and finally cooks something she likes.
.No one has ever stepped into a new world and manuevered it flawlessly.

inexperienced and naive are not the same
weak and cautious are not the same.
immature and unknowing is not the same.

does he have commitment phobia? How is he manipulative? How did he coerce her? Where does his communication skills lack?

your clothes are wet let me see you inside.

😂 Luke just be saying anything. that's like saying I want a pizza let's go get a book. 😂

In my next life - I want to have a secret boyfriend 😂
This seems so adventurous 😂

😔

I'm sure they were fake but for some people - like me - if you've been around cigarette smokers before the visual can trigger your mind to think you actual smell the actual cigarette. 😂 I can smell the cigarette - lol even my nose starts to twitch 😆 .

I hate I read the description, the intro in ep 1, and some comments. Because her story of misery seems nonexistent or so far away. The dots are not connecting lol and I need them to connect now.

What I read made it seem like he wanted the secret relationship. But it seems like she is goal oriented and doesn't want the relationship to impede on her growth and progress. I respect that. I like that. So all I keep asking myself is what went wrong? what was so shameful and painful?

ah, i don't watch verticals and barely short dramas. So I don't see much smoking unless its in historicals . I don't know why Luke had to smoke 😔 😂 - lol he just kissed her in the car and I can smell the smoke 😂

and? what is your point?

SEX WAS BEING HAD BEFORE MARRIAGE EXISTED

this is ridiculous. you don't know how girls have sex before marriage? how do you think guys have sex before marriage. and why weren't they mentioned. or why didn't you say why do people have sex before marriage.

sex before marriage?
everyone doesn't plan on getting married.

so should they die virgins?

sex before marriage is a religious principle not a moral principle.

everyone isn't religious and has the right to enjoy what they want to enjoy when they want to

what does this have to do with Chinese people?

😂 any smoker from any ethnicity is a turn off for me.
