The President's Tender Trap

As time went by, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship grew closer, yet her inner struggles often loomed like a shadow. Although she felt warmed by the support of Lu Ming's parents, she couldn't suppress her doubts. She began to question whether she could truly walk the same path with Lu Ming, especially given the pressures of family and career.

"What should I do if one day he has to choose work over me?" This thought, like a ghost in the dark, emerged in her mind from time to time, making her feel uneasy.

Su Wan tried to stay positive, but every time she saw Lu Ming slaving away at work, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. Lu Ming was always busy with his career, seemingly with endless work to do. Was this their future? Su Wan began to doubt whether she could go further on this path.

"Su Wan, what's wrong with you?" One night, Lu Ming returned home and saw Su Wan sitting on the sofa, looking dazed. He immediately noticed something was wrong with her. He walked over and sat beside her, his eyes full of concern.

"Nothing." Su Wan smiled slightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness, but her voice sounded extremely fragile.

"Don't lie to me." Lu Ming frowned, his tone firm. "I know what you're thinking. If there's anything, just tell me." He said softly, his eyes like warm sunshine, shining directly into Su Wan's heart.

Su Wan's heart was moved, but she didn't know how to speak. Her thoughts surged like a tide, and finally she raised her head and looked at Lu Ming with a firm gaze: "I'm just a little worried about our future."

"What are you worried about?" Lu Ming asked back, frowning slightly, looking very concerned.

"I'm worried that you're too busy with work and might neglect our relationship." Su Wan finally mustered up the courage and said frankly, "I'm afraid that we'll drift apart because of work in the future."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then showed an understanding expression. He knew Su Wan was a delicate and sensitive person, especially when it came to feelings, she always tended to overthink. He reached out and held Su Wan's hand, saying gently, "I understand your concerns, but I will never let work affect our relationship."

"But you have to work overtime every day. Sometimes I can't even feel your presence." Su Wan's voice was choked with sobs. "I don't know what the future will be like, and I don't know if I can bear this kind of life."

"I will work hard to change the current situation." Lu Ming held her hand tightly, his eyes firm. "I will try my best to spend time with you and ensure that our relationship will not become distant because of work."

Su Wan's heart gradually warmed. She could sense Lu Ming's sincerity and determination. However, the doubts deep within her heart still lingered. She knew that determination alone was not enough; the pressure of reality still existed.

"Can you really do it?" she couldn't help but ask, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Of course, I will try my best." Lu Ming answered seriously, his tone full of determination, "I won't let you down."

As time went by, Su Wan's mood gradually calmed down. She realized that when faced with the test of love, the only thing to do was to trust each other and work hard to overcome difficulties. She began to think that perhaps the road ahead didn't have to be difficult. As long as the two of them were united in heart and hand, they could face all challenges together.

A few days later, Su Wan and Lu Ming made plans to go to the movies together. She hoped this would strengthen their relationship. In the atmosphere of the movie, Su Wan felt a long-lost sense of relaxation and joy. She and Lu Ming shared popcorn, grinning innocently, as if all their worries had been cast aside.

However, just as she was immersed in her happy moment, Lu Ming's phone rang. He glanced at it, his face clearly showing embarrassment. "Sorry, Su Wan, I have to take a call," he said apologetically, standing up and walking aside.

Su Wan's heart tightened. Although she knew the importance of her work, she couldn't suppress the disappointment in her heart at this moment. She forced herself to smile, trying to stop thinking about those uneasy emotions.

After Lu Ming finished the call, he returned to his seat, a trace of fatigue on his face. "I'm so sorry about the work," he said with a touch of guilt.

"It's okay." Su Wan smiled slightly. Although she said it was okay, the bitterness in her heart was hard to express. She began to question again whether she could persist in such a high-pressure life.

After the movie ended, the two walked out of the theater. The night air was fresh and cool. Su Wan looked up at the starry sky, feeling a surge of emotion. She hoped to build a beautiful life with Lu Ming in the future, but such hopes seemed insignificant in the face of the pressures of reality.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Ming's voice brought her back from her thoughts, concern in his eyes.

"I'm thinking about the future." Su Wan answered softly, but she was struggling in her heart.

"The future will be bright." Lu Ming smiled and held her hand tightly. "As long as we work together, we can achieve it."

However, a trace of doubt emerged in Su Wan's heart. She didn't know whether such persistence could really bring a bright future. She wanted to believe Lu Ming's words, but the pressure of reality made her fall into deep thought.

On the way home, Su Wan's mind reeled from those unsettling thoughts. She began to wonder if she should adjust her mindset and find a balance between work and life in this relationship. She didn't want her emotions to affect Lu Ming's work, but the inner struggle persisted.

A few days later, Su Wan decided to take the initiative to communicate with Lu Ming and express her thoughts. She hoped to find a solution together and strengthen their relationship. So, she asked Lu Ming to go to the place where they had first met, a cozy little cafe.

In the coffee shop, Su Wan ordered a latte and waited quietly for Lu Ming to arrive. Her heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, afraid that she would say something wrong.

Not long after, Lu Ming arrived on time. Seeing Su Wan sitting by the window, a warm smile appeared on his face. "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He said gently after sitting down.

"It's okay." Su Wan smiled slightly, trying to relax herself. "I want to talk to you about our future today."

Lu Ming's expression turned serious. He knew this was an important topic. "Of course. What do you want to say?"

"I hope we can face the challenges of the future together." Su Wan looked Lu Ming in the eye and said firmly, "I'm worried that the pressure of work will affect our relationship, so I hope we can find a way to balance it together."

"Me too." Lu Ming nodded, his eyes showing sympathy. "I will try my best to balance my time between work and life, but you also need to understand the responsibilities I bear."

"I understand, but I hope I can be your support when you're busy." Su Wan's voice was soft but firm. "I hope we can face these challenges together, rather than letting them become a barrier between us."

Lu Ming was slightly stunned, then showed a relieved smile: "Thank you, Su Wan. I was actually worried that the work would affect you, but I didn't expect you to support me."

"We all rely on each other." Su Wan showed a warm smile on her face. "I hope that no matter what the future holds, we can walk through it hand in hand."

"Of course, I will try my best to make you feel my presence." Lu Ming's eyes were firm. He held Su Wan's hand, conveying warmth and strength.

In this warm moment, Su Wan finally felt a sense of relief. She knew that the road ahead might be full of challenges, but as long as they trusted and supported each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

As time went by, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship became more stable. They began to plan their future together and tried to find time for each other in their busy work. Su Wan gradually learned to adjust her mentality.
