The President's Tender Trap

As they delved deeper into each other's family backgrounds and future aspirations, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship grew stronger. They not only shared their dreams and aspirations, but also realized that within this relationship, they needed to shoulder shared responsibilities, support each other, and face future challenges together. This shared understanding, like a ray of sunshine, illuminated their path forward.

On a sunny weekend, Su Wan and Lu Ming decided to take a stroll in the countryside to relax. The fresh air was mingled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the chirping of birds filled their ears, as if everything was cheering for their future. As they walked along the path, Su Wan's heart was filled with longing for the future. Today, she wanted to explore the issue of responsibility and support in greater depth.

"Lu Ming, we have been discussing our respective families and expectations for the future, but I think there is another issue that we need to face seriously." Su Wan broke the quiet atmosphere with a firm look in her eyes.

"What do you want to say?" Lu Ming stopped and listened carefully.

"I think in a relationship, we need to share responsibilities and support each other." Su Wan's voice was clear and firm. "This is not just an expectation for the future, but also a commitment to the present."

Lu Ming nodded, clearly agreeing with Su Wan's point. "I agree. A sense of responsibility is an important cornerstone of a relationship. Whether it's family expectations or life's pressures, we need to face them together."

"Yes." Su Wan smiled slightly, feeling warm in her heart. "I hope we can face the expectations and pressure from our families together, instead of letting them become obstacles between us."

Lu Ming's eyes were gentle yet firm. He held Su Wan's hand and said, "I am willing to share these responsibilities with you. We can discuss how to deal with the pressure from family and how to manage the balance between work and life."

During this candid exchange, the two gradually clarified their understanding of each other's responsibilities. Su Wan, recalling a recent family gathering, still felt mixed emotions. "I've found that family expectations can often put pressure on us, especially when they want us to start a family quickly or have opinions about our career choices."

"I feel the same way." Lu Ming sighed. "My parents want me to achieve success in my career, but their expectations sometimes put invisible pressure on me. I want to satisfy them, but at the same time I don't want to lose my direction."

"This is the challenge we need to face together," Su Wan said in a soft but firm voice. "If we can work together and support each other, we can alleviate these pressures and make each other feel comfortable."

"I'll try my best." Lu Ming's eyes showed determination. "We can set some common goals to help each other find a balance in life and career."

"That's a good idea." A smile appeared on Su Wan's face. "For example, we can arrange a date once a month to make sure we have time to spend with each other. I also hope to be able to participate in your work and understand your pressures and challenges."

"I'd be happy to have you join my work life," Lu Ming said with a smile. "At the same time, I'd also like to understand your work and help you solve any difficulties you encounter."

As the two discussed more deeply, their ideas became more and more consistent. They realized that only through joint efforts could they find their own rhythm amidst family expectations and life pressures.

"In addition, we can also work together to develop some principles to help us stay calm when facing pressure." Lu Ming continued, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"For example, we can set up a communication mechanism to share with each other when we feel stressed," Su Wan added. "This can avoid misunderstandings and help each other better understand each other's feelings."

"This is very important." Lu Ming nodded, his eyes showing approval. "I hope we can establish an open communication method so that we can speak freely at any time."

In this consensus, Su Wan and Lu Ming's hearts grew closer. They began to realize that love is not just a romantic moment, but also a responsibility to face life together.

Over time, Su Wan and Lu Ming began to put these shared ideas into practice. They set up a monthly date plan, making time for each other no matter how busy they were at work. Every weekend, they would go for walks together, enjoying nature and sharing the little things in life.

"I find dates like this really relaxing," Lu Ming said during a stroll, a relaxed smile on his face. "We can put aside all the work pressure here and focus on each other."

"Yes, life is always full of challenges, but as long as you are by my side, anything can be solved." Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart filled with warmth.

At the same time, they also began to support each other's work. Su Wan took the initiative to ask Lu Ming for advice on some workplace issues, while Lu Ming participated in Su Wan's projects and discussed strategies and ideas with her.

"I think your idea is very good. You can try to incorporate these elements into your client proposals." Lu Ming encouraged, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Thank you, Lu Ming. Having you by my side makes me feel very safe." A grateful smile appeared on Su Wan's face.

Through these interactions, the two gradually developed a better understanding and a deeper bond. They not only supported each other at work, but also shared responsibilities in life, coping with the expectations and pressures from family and society.

However, life isn't always smooth sailing. As time goes by, Su Wan and Lu Ming also encounter some challenges. Lu Ming's work gradually enters a peak period, and he needs to work twice as hard to complete an important project, while Su Wan faces strict client requirements and time pressure at work.

"I'm really sorry, I might be very busy recently." Lu Ming said during a date, with an apologetic look in his eyes, "I need to work overtime to complete this project."

"I understand." Su Wan responded softly, but she felt a little lost in her heart. "I hope you can complete it smoothly, but I also hope you can take good care of yourself and not get too tired."

"I will." Lu Ming said with a smile, his eyes showing determination, "but I hope we can keep in touch during this time and share our feelings with each other in a timely manner."

"Of course, we must support each other." Su Wan's voice was gentle but firm. "No matter how busy I am, I will be here waiting for you."

As work pressure increased, Lu Ming's schedule became increasingly tight. Despite this, he still tried to make time to communicate with Su Wan, share his work progress, and show concern for her life.

"I may not be able to accompany you to go hiking this weekend." Lu Ming said in a phone call, with a hint of apology in his tone.

"It's okay, I can go by myself." Su Wan's voice showed understanding, "But remember to take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

"Thank you, Su Wan." Lu Ming's tone was full of gratitude. "With you by my side, I feel very safe."

However, as Lu Ming became increasingly busy, Su Wan began to feel uneasy. She began to worry that work would alienate them. So, she decided to take the initiative to ask Lu Ming out for a deeper discussion.

"I think we need to have a good talk." On a Friday night, Su Wan invited Lu Ming to the cafe they often went to, with a serious look on her face.

"Okay, I was just looking to talk to you." Lu Ming nodded, then sat down, his eyes full of anticipation.

"I know you've been very busy with work lately, but I hope we can keep communicating." Su Wan said slowly, her eyes firm, "I don't want our relationship to be affected by work."

"I have the same concerns," Lu Ming said solemnly. "I hope we can find a balance so that we can stay connected despite our busy work schedules."

"We should make a plan to make sure we can make time for each other even on busy days." Su Wan's voice was firm but gentle.

"I agree. We can set up at least one regular date per week." Lu Ming thought seriously, "No matter how busy we are, we should set aside time to spend time with each other."

"This way we can ensure that we don't neglect each other because of being busy." Su Wan said with a smile, and her anxiety gradually subsided.

As their communication deepened, their understanding of each other deepened. They realized that no matter how busy their work was, the responsibility and commitment of love would always be the cornerstone of their shared life.
