After the Breakup, □□ Regretted It Too Late

△ An intensely possessive kept lover x a gentle patron who is slow to recognize her feelings

△ An atypical “sugar relationship” | A short story

Everyone thought Xu Ting and Zhou Yue were a patron and her kept lover.

Few knew how much the favored child of heaven, Zhou Yue, had given up just to “get close to” Xu Ting, her patron.

Late at night, Xu Ting's face was flushed, her gaze hazy, and her lips carried the sweet aroma of red wine. Her body was so hot that it made people tremble all over.

Zhou Yue held down Xu Ting's hand as she tried to unfasten her clothes, struggling to suppress her anger. “Until you make it clear what we are, don't even think about it.”

Her voice was so seductive it seemed to tempt anyone into sin. Xu Ting kissed her lips. “Isn't it fine the way things are now...?”

At that moment, Zhou Yue finally understood. From beginning to end, the only thing that mattered to Xu Ting was her work. Zhou Yue was merely something to pass the lonely nights, and Xu Ting had never once thought of giving her a future.

So Zhou Yue gritted her teeth and ended their relationship of her own accord.

Even two months after their breakup, Zhou Yue still appeared in Xu Ting's dreams from time to time. Only then did Xu Ting realize that she was the one who couldn't move on.

Four months after the breakup, her family arranged for her to marry a rich, beautiful woman. She had initially refused, but readily agreed once she learned the woman's name.

Five months after the breakup, Xu Ting saw Zhou Yue again. Zhou Yue was sprawled unceremoniously on the sofa, puffing away, her words dripping with mockery. “Miss Xu, for money, you don't mind marrying someone you don't even like, do you?”

Xu Ting set down her luggage and walked over, bracing one hand on the sofa as she leaned down. “Which one's your room?”

The person who had been acting so superior was instantly left in a fluster.

“W-What are you doing?”

Watching the little one, who had been putting on a tough act, lose her composure in an instant, Xu Ting's cool, elegant eyes filled with undisguised amusement. “We've got our marriage certificate. What do you think I'm doing?”

Message: Someone will love every part of you.
