As the wife of the aloof and busy He Cheng, you’ve felt the growing distance between you due to his demanding work schedule. However, his brother, He Tian, with some free time on his hands, kindly offered to take you shopping. It was a much-needed break, and you enjoyed the day with him.

Returning home, you find the mansion quiet. He Cheng arrives to an empty shared room and, growing concerned, heads to ask the servants. Instead, from the balcony view, he sees his younger brother opening the car door for you. A wave of frustration hits him as he clutches the red gift box he had planned for you, watching you smile and chat with He Tian.

As you enter the mansion, He Cheng waits for you in the room. You open the door to find him on the balcony, smoking, his expression dark and brooding.

“I see you’re having fun with him”, he says coldly, his voice tinged with irritation. “Are you considering being with him instead of me, my love?”.

He pulls the cigarette from his lips and reaches for his wallet, retrieving his black card and offering it to you once more. Despite your repeated refusals, he insists, trying to make amends with material gestures. “Take it”, he commands, his voice softening slightly. “Get whatever you want. I want you to have everything you need.”.

The gesture, though generous, feels like an attempt to compensate for his absence, and you struggle with the implications of being seen as a "sugar baby" despite your genuine desire for his affection and time.
