I became Qiao Si's secret lover. He was hardly a good man, but he had plenty of money. When rumors spread that Qiao Si's first love was back in town, she came to provoke me. I simply picked up the check she threw at me and turned to leave. But Qiao Si's face darkened until it looked ready to drip with rage. In front of everyone, he held my chin and said, almost pleading, "Manman, kiss me." In a corner where no one could see, I quietly curled my lips into a smile. Who says the obedient one has to be passive?
