I am very clear in my heart that for Liang Jiacheng, Chen Yue is his white moonlight, while I am just a cloud that occasionally drifts across his sight. Once the clouds part and the moon is revealed, he will forget that such a cloud ever existed in this world.
Since it is destined to be lost, I might as well be straightforward about it; this way, I can get more compensation from Liang Jiacheng. But I didn’t expect Liang Jiacheng to be so stingy. That night, he presented me with the property deed, a gold card, and stock ownership documents.
"Qu Man, these are what you deserve," he said with indifference. "Chen Yue and I are getting engaged next month, and I hope you won't disturb us anymore."
"Okay." I smiled as I accepted his gifts. "Thank you."
Liang Jiacheng was taken aback. Perhaps he didn’t expect me to calmly accept his breakup compensation. He thought I would cry, make a scene, and cling to him relentlessly. But I didn’t.
I assured him, "Don't worry, I will completely disappear from your sight."
Liang Jiacheng squinted his eyes. "You seem quite happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." I waved the card in my hand at him. "With so many gifts from you, how could I not be happy?"
"Qu Man!" Anger accumulated in his eyes. "Are you really happy about breaking up with me?"
"Why not?" I blinked. "Shouldn’t I be sad?"
Liang Jiacheng suddenly stood up and left in a huff. I watched his back, feeling somewhat bewildered. Was he… angry? But given how compliant and understanding I was, shouldn’t he be pleased?
I had been with Liang Jiacheng for three years, always trying to imitate Chen Yue’s words and actions. Now, I had managed to mimic about ninety percent of it. Over these three years, I asked myself if I deserved the money he gave me.
As soon as Chen Yue returned, I had to obediently give way.
Men are truly unreliable.
I shook my head, holding my breakup fee, and watched Liang Jiacheng walk further away, a faint smile playing on my lips.
With Liang Jiacheng gone, I transformed from a substitute into a wealthy woman.
I changed out of my plain dress, removed my light makeup, and discarded those innocent outfits.
They were all prepared for me by Liang Jiacheng in accordance with Chen Yue's style.
Now, I could finally be myself again.
I put on a bright red short skirt, dyed my hair, styled it in waves, and applied lipstick.
Looking at my refreshed self in the mirror, I felt that these three years had truly been spent with a good Sugar Daddy.
He gave me a lot of money, allowing me to buy any clothes I liked.
Carrying my shopping bags, I happily returned to the villa that Liang Jiacheng had gifted me.
I am just that kind of superficial person.
I am a woman who has grown up through hardships, so I don't dream of love; I just want life to be a bit better.
I know very well that what I wanted was not Liang Jiacheng himself but his wealth.
So, Chen Yue and I both win.
She got Liang Jiacheng while I got his money.
How wonderful is that?
With shopping bags in hand, humming a tune, I looked up and saw Chen Yue standing at the entrance of the villa.
She wore a white dress, ethereal and untainted by dust, creating a stark contrast to my worldly appearance.
"Qu Man," she began softly, "how much breakup fee did A Cheng give you?"
I replied casually, "I served him well; the Sugar Daddy was very satisfied."
Chen Yue scoffed disdainfully: "You, hiding in the corner as a substitute, are left with only this little value."
"That's right." I shrugged, "I never loved Liang Jiacheng; I only love his money." Chen Yue looked at me, and there seemed to be a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes.
