You Ai cheated on Lu Weizhen in the second year of their marriage of convenience.
She became obsessed with a small-time streamer, showering him with tens of thousands in gifts every night just to hear him say, "Thanks, Florence. Good night, sis. Sweet dreams!"
Given the scale of You Ai's gifts, she'd already added the streamer on WeChat. Though she almost never messaged him first, he often sent her little glimpses of his daily life, joking around and venting. Sometimes, he would casually mention luxury-brand items he'd spotted while shopping but hadn't bought.
He gave her plenty of emotional support, and You Ai didn't mind showering her beloved virtual pet with money. She would always contact a sales associate and promptly buy whatever he wanted, having it delivered to his home.
As time went on, they messaged more and more often. The small-time streamer even began sending You Ai sultry love notes without a hint of restraint. From their chat history alone, it looked as if they were dating. A few months later, she received an invitation to meet in person.
You Ai wasn't interested in his looks. In wealth, power, and appearance alike, Lu Weizhen was the most exceptional man she'd ever met. Even so, this loveless marriage still left her feeling suffocated and tormented.
In the end, she chose to go. Holding her phone, she compared the location with the pictures in their chat. By the floor-to-ceiling window, in the same setting as the photos, she saw a man with medium-length platinum-blond hair. His face was turned toward the window, and his profile was so striking it left her spellbound.
You Ai stopped in her tracks.
Apparently sensing the unabashed stare, the man turned around with an irritated look. But the moment he saw her, he froze. His usual haughty, cold expression vanished, replaced by delight. "Flo-jie, you really came!"
"This marriage is a business arrangement. Neither of us had a choice."
You Ai had said those words to Lu Weizhen, directly and indirectly, many times. He knew she had no feelings for him, so he kept his distance as she wished. As a result, they had almost no interaction outside the bedroom.
But at some point, You Ai suddenly started acting strangely. She would leave the bedroom light on while waiting for him to come home, ask after his health, and even bring him cake from outside once.
Lu Weizhen loved this feeling. He began trying to please You Ai too, frequently giving her expensive gifts and sending her transfers with ever more digits.
Then one day at a gathering, a friend hesitated before revealing the truth. "Um, it seems your wife has someone on the side. I caught her at my hotel, getting a room with someone else..." And it wasn't just once.
*
When You Ai got home right on time, she found Lu Weizhen already there, though he was usually busy. Feeling guilty and at a loss, she pulled out a bouquet of roadside flowers she'd bought on sale for fifteen yuan.
"Honey, happy anniversary."
Lu Weizhen smiled faintly, the curve of his lips carrying an unmistakable hint of mockery. He looked up at You Ai. "Two hours ago, you used my card to buy another man Van Cleef & Arpels."
"And now you're giving me this?"
