Her Lover

[Also known as: After Keeping a Sugar Baby, My Sugar Baby Kept Me Instead]

Chu Huan gets promoted and welcomes the springtime of her career. Excited, she goes to a bar to celebrate, where she spots a beautiful woman. Tipsy, she asks if the woman would let Chu Huan keep her.

The moment the words leave her mouth, Chu Huan realizes how forward she was. Just as she's about to apologize, the beautiful woman's eyes lift slightly. She glances down at Chu Huan's hand, considers for a moment, and says, "Sure."

"But you have to provide food and lodging."

"And five kinds of social insurance... no, eight kinds, plus a housing fund."

Dazed, Chu Huan agrees and takes the beautiful woman home.

The beautiful woman is gentle, an excellent cook, and great in bed. She diligently plays the perfect lover, waiting for Chu Huan to come home every day and occasionally springing little surprises on her at night.

The springtime of Chu Huan's career comes and goes in a flash. A new president suddenly parachutes into the company. Rumor has it she's the chairman's daughter, and before Chu Huan has even met her, she cuts her seasonal bonus.

Counting the money in her bank account, Chu Huan pouts at Zhan Yu. "Babe, our new president is so mean. I might not be able to afford to keep you anymore. What's the point of being so rich if you're going to dock us workers' pay? That's so mean!"

Her perfect little lover smiles softly. "I'll pay you a salary."

"Eight kinds of insurance and a housing fund, okay?" Chu Huan assumes she's joking and deliberately leans close with pleading eyes.

"Then am I a good person?" Her lover starts clipping her nails.

Chu Huan obediently nods.

Her lover says nothing more, silencing Chu Huan's next words with actions.

The next day, Chu Huan heads to the office with one hand on her lower back. In the elevator, she runs into her perfect little lover, surrounded by a group of company executives calling her "President Zhan." Her lover wears towering heels and a sharp, impeccably tailored suit. She looks down at Chu Huan with a captivating smile and asks:

"President Chu, what do you think of raising our company's benefits to eight kinds of insurance and a housing fund?"

"After all, I'm a good person."

"Right?"

Adults should just seduce each other.

Basically, there are three ways to do it:

Turn into a cat, turn into a tiger, or turn into a dog caught in the rain."
