Inertial Dependence

In middle school, An Chixu was the little tail following behind Yan Ciwei—the exclusive lackey of a high-society heiress. In university, An Chixu became Yan Ciwei’s private, “captive” lover—essentially a golden canary.

Everyone thought Yan Ciwei was just playing around. She was beautiful, capable, and born into a top-tier family, surrounded by admirers like stars around the moon. An Chixu, on the other hand, was just a “little monster” from a broken home that nobody wanted. People assumed Yan Ciwei’s interest wouldn’t last a lifetime.

But no one knew the truth. One winter, An Chixu almost froze to death on the streets, and it was Yan Ciwei who “picked her up.” The pampered heiress did everything in her power to raise and protect her.

It was all-encompassing care, but with a suffocating possessiveness. Yan wouldn’t let her make friends or become independent; she took away her phone and her ID. They were together every waking second. In their private, intimate moments, Yan Ciwei always insisted An Chixu “hold her heart in her teeth” and call her “Mommy.”

But eventually, they broke up.

After the breakup, An Chixu became an employee at Yan Ciwei’s company. Within six months, she rose from a low-level planner to the CEO’s assistant. Everyone assumed she relied on “inappropriate relations.” To them, she was still just Yan Ciwei’s canary—this time, not even a girlfriend.

Yan Ciwei was powerful, cold-hearted, and indifferent. Everyone thought An Chixu’s life must be miserable—her things were thrown away, she was deleted from social media. No one knew that in the penthouse CEO office, An Chixu was kneeling before Yan Ciwei. While Yan conducted remote meetings, she would lightly pat An’s head, listening to her whisper, “Mommy.”

Yan Ciwei had already prepared the wedding dress and the rings, calculating the perfect auspicious date for their engagement. But at the height of their passion, she received An Chixu’s resignation letter.

An Chixu “re-adopted” herself from the hands of the over-possessive paranoid. She resolutely left Yan Ciwei’s side.

The second time they reunited after An Chixu ran away, Yan Ciwei was much “better behaved.” She gave An space to make friends, accompanied her to see her parents, and respected her career and hobbies. Privately, she would even bring her own rope and beg An Chixu to tie her up.

But even An Chixu didn’t know… Yan Ciwei had a key to her rented apartment. Late at night, when An Chixu was fast asleep, Yan Ciwei would often sit by her bed, silently watching her.

#A “Mommy” who doesn’t know how to take care of people and is so gentle it’s eerie, and the “kitten” she raised for years who struggled to grow up.

#The “Guiding Mommy” is always enticing the kitten to do “this and that” to her.

#The best training is a breakup.
