1.

The first time Yu Qian Hui met Lu Wei Qing was in a rooftop lounge in Manhattan.

She carried a tray of champagne, her eyelashes trembling in the cold air.

The man sat in the shadows, an unlit cigarette between his fingers, like a piece of cold jade.

Later, he asked casually, "Want to come with me?"

Qian Hui politely but firmly mocked him. "Sir, the truth is, not every young and beautiful woman needs a sugar daddy."

The man wasn't offended. He exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled faintly. "As you said, you're still young, so you have room to negotiate."

2.

Lu Wei Qing was lavish with money and conspicuously doted on his partners. What began as a mutually beneficial arrangement soon became common knowledge.

During the most turbulent years for H-shares, everyone in Hong Kong's upper circles knew that the Lu family's heir kept a female student in his Mid-Levels villa. She was breathtakingly beautiful, but not much of a sweetheart.

To appease her, he had the luxury yacht moored by Victoria Harbour, which had cost seven hundred million Hong Kong dollars to build, renamed after Yu Qian Hui: "Lady Yu."

Everyone said the girl was unbelievably lucky, and that she might even become the heir's wife.

No one could have guessed that in the end, she would quietly dump Lu Wei Qing.

The day she left without a word, Yu Qian Hui asked his secretary to deliver a sapphire brooch. It was the first gift he had ever given her, and the one thing she ultimately didn't take with her.

That day, every flight was delayed by half an hour due to circumstances beyond anyone's control.

People in their circles clicked their tongues, sensing something was off. "Strange. He spoiled her so much, and she still flew the coop?"

After all that, whose wings had really been clipped?

The words found their way to his ears.

Lu Wei Qing brushed his sleeve and smiled with studied indifference. "If a bird that won't be tamed wants to fly away, why would I keep her?"

3.

Five years later, Yu Qian Hui returned to Hong Kong.

Because of that ridiculous affair in her past, she kept a low profile and turned down every public engagement.

She taught and went on dates as usual. The memories of the Mid-Levels villa were like film negatives blurred by rain, reduced to indistinct patches of color.

Until one late night, rain pounded against the windows.

The doorbell woke Yu Qian Hui. She wrapped her robe tightly around herself and opened the door a crack. "Mr. Lu, what do you want?"

Lu Wei Qing stood there with his collar unusually open, looking carefree. He asked in return, "Can't I ask you for a cup of hot tea?"

"It's not convenient. My boyfriend is here." She clutched the doorknob.

"Is that so?" He suddenly pressed close to the opening, wedged his right arm through and wrapped it around her waist. Nonchalantly, he said:

"Then wake him up and let him see how I kiss you."
