He bought her with money.
She only loved money and never fell for him. He found that easy to deal with.
Then she fell for him.
She started checking his phone, asking where he'd been, and waiting for him to come home.
He found it annoying.
“You're my kept woman, not my mother!”
To get away from her, he went to see his ex-girlfriend.
His ex was gentle and understanding, and never tried to control him.
He thought that was what he wanted.
She left.
She paid back all the money and took her heart back, too.
A week later, sitting alone in their empty home, he teared up for the first time.
He told his assistant, “She said she loved me. I didn't know then that I loved her, too.”
Later, he knelt before her and said:
“Su Tongtong, I used to think you were annoying when you tried to keep me in line. Now I'm begging you: keep me in line. For the rest of my life.”
She wasn't trying to control him. She was simply loving someone she shouldn't have loved in the only way she knew how.
