The President's Tender Trap

Sunlight streamed through the curtains onto Lu Ming's desk, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee. He was busy processing documents, feeling relatively relaxed. Just then, an urgent notification from the Human Resources Department came through on his phone. His heart tightened, sensing that something might be amiss.

Lu Ming opened his phone and quickly scanned the messages, his heart sinking. He had been informed that due to a company strategic adjustment, he would be transferred abroad for a year. This was a rare opportunity for career advancement, but at the same time, he was filled with inner conflict and unease.

"Lu Ming, are you okay?" Colleague Xiao Li asked with concern when he saw that he looked unwell.

"I'm... fine." Lu Ming forced a smile, but his heart was like the surging waves of the ocean, unable to calm down. He knew what this opportunity meant, but he knew even more clearly how this transfer would affect his relationship with Su Wan.

Back home, Lu Ming's mood remained turbulent. He sat on the sofa, gazing out the window at the stars, his mind racing. The sound of Su Wan bustling about in the kitchen drifted by, and a faint fragrance drifted through the air, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet evening. However, the turmoil in his heart prevented him from enjoying this tranquility.

"Lu Ming, dinner is almost ready!" Su Wan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Yeah, okay," he agreed, but he didn't have the mind to respond.

Su Wan came out with the hot dishes and saw Lu Ming's expression, feeling a little uneasy. She sat down next to him and asked softly, "What's wrong? You look worried."

"I... just received a notice from the company that I will be transferred to work abroad for one year." Lu Ming finally plucked up the courage to tell Su Wan the news, but his heart was filled with anxiety.

"What? A year?" Su Wan was stunned, a trace of shock and uneasiness flashed in her eyes, "This... is this true?"

"Yes." Lu Ming lowered his head, his heart filled with guilt. "I know this is a big test for us."

Su Wan's mood instantly plummeted, countless thoughts racing through her mind. She understood Lu Ming's career development, but the year-long absence made her feel incredibly uneasy. Trying to remain calm, she asked, "What...what are you going to do?"

"I don't know." Lu Ming sighed, his eyes revealing helplessness and conflict. "I'm excited about this opportunity, but I'm also worried that our relationship will be affected."

"I'm worried too." Su Wan lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. "A year... is really a long time for us."

"I'll try to keep in touch, video calls, messages, I'll do my best." Lu Ming explained eagerly, hoping to ease Su Wan's worries. He knew that this period of separation would put a lot of pressure on her.

"But long-distance relationships are really difficult." Su Wan's voice was filled with helplessness. "The foundation of our relationship was already a bit fragile, and this distance will make everything more complicated."

"I will try my best, Su Wan." Lu Ming looked at her seriously, with a determined light in his eyes. "No matter where you are, my feelings for you will not change."

"But can you really do it?" Su Wan raised her head, her eyes full of doubt and anxiety, "Can we withstand such a test?"

Lu Ming's heart tightened, sensing Su Wan's worry. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how. He was desperate for career advancement but also afraid of losing this relationship.

"I will try my best to find time to come back to see you, or you can come to my place." Lu Ming tried hard to find a solution, hoping to make Su Wan feel at ease.

"I... I know you're trying hard, but this period of time is indeed difficult." Su Wan's voice gradually lowered, but her heart was filled with helplessness. She began to wonder if she could withstand such a test, if she could maintain her trust and determination during this period of time.

"We can make plans together, such as weekly video calls to share each other's lives." Lu Ming continued to propose, his heart full of expectations for the future.

"That sounds like a good idea," Su Wan replied softly, but she was still filled with unease. She didn't know if they could finally get what they wanted after a year of separation.

"I'll try my best to arrange my work so that I can spend time with you," Lu Ming said firmly, his eyes showing hope for the future. He knew that this transfer would be a huge test for their relationship, but he didn't want to give up.

As time goes by, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship gradually finds a way forward amidst the uneasiness. Although they both know that the days ahead will be full of challenges, their trust and support for each other will be their greatest support.

"I will work hard to make this relationship stronger. No matter what happens, I will cherish the feelings between us." Lu Ming said softly, his heart full of expectations.

"Me too." Su Wan smiled slightly. Although there was still anxiety in her eyes, she knew that every day in the future would be a test of their feelings for each other.

In the stillness of the night, Lu Ming and Su Wan snuggled together, feeling an endless warmth in their hearts. Even though the future was full of uncertainties, they were still willing to face it hand in hand and cherish this precious relationship.

In the days that followed, Lu Ming began actively preparing for his trip abroad, while Su Wan worked hard to adjust her mindset and adapt to the upcoming changes. They began to develop a detailed plan, clarifying how to communicate each week to ensure they could stay in touch in real life.

"No matter how busy we are, we must take time to chat and share each other's lives." Su Wan said firmly, hoping to find a sense of peace of mind in this way.

"Okay, I will try my best to arrange time and ensure that we have regular calls every week." Lu Ming responded with a smile, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.

During this time, Lu Ming and Su Wan gradually formed a tacit understanding. Although thousands of miles apart, their hearts were always closely connected. Every call became a bright spot in their lives, allowing each other to feel the warm companionship.

"I will remember every detail you mentioned. When I come back, we will work together to implement these plans." Lu Ming said seriously during a phone call.

"I will also work hard to make every day of my life fulfilling and meaningful." Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart full of expectations for the future.

As Lu Ming's transfer date approaches, their emotions fluctuate. Despite the uncertainty and challenges they face, their mutual trust and understanding strengthen their relationship. No matter how difficult the road ahead, they are willing to work together, eager for that beautiful reunion.
