Chapter 21

The cell phone held in my hand vibrated for a long time, and my wife finally hung up the phone. I didn't answer, because as long as I spoke, my wife would definitely hear it.

Da...da...da...da...

I heard the sound of walking in the master bedroom. Soon, I heard the sound of water stains coming from the bathroom. My wife should be taking a shower.

I held my breath and slowly opened the door of my son's bedroom little by little. I looked out, but saw the lights in the living room were on. I looked inside along the aisle of the living room and saw the shaved bathroom door on one side of the inside. My wife's snow-white body was constantly shaking. I went to the bedroom to check her cell phone now, and Lu Tong would definitely notice the movement outside.

Thinking of it, I decided to stay in my son's room and wait until my wife took a shower, and then heard the sound of a hairdryer in the bedroom. Is she going to sleep?

I looked at the time. At nine o'clock in the evening, did she sleep so early?

Next, my wife used her actions to prove that my guess was wrong. Da... Da... Da... As she heard the steps closer to the door of her son's bedroom, my heart was in my throat. My son's bedroom was close to the living room. Should she enter her son's bedroom?

Da... Da...

Not far from my son's bedroom, there was no sound of walking. Instead, I heard the rustling sound of my wife changing her shoes. My wife changing her shoes? She still wants to go out?

My breathing suddenly became rapid. What was my wife going out?

Da da...bang...bang...bang...bang..., the door was opened and then there was another sound of closing, and the whole room fell into darkness and silence again

I gently opened my son's room door and saw that it was pitch black outside. I looked to the master bedroom. There was no light under the crack in the door. My wife must have gone out again. I quickly came out of my son's room, opened the door, and walked out.

Buzz...

When I was about to reach the entrance of the building, my phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from K. Your wife is now at the entrance of your community, and it seems she is going out. Don’t wait at home.

... I didn't reply to K. I have to follow my wife now. Seeing that she was going out so late, what was she going to do? K sent me another picture, which was the white Mercedes-Benz. My wife was turning on the passenger seat and her tall body was sitting in the car. I quickly came downstairs. Fortunately, I parked the car to the innermost position downstairs of the community just now, and it was a little dark. Otherwise, my wife would have discovered my car.

Which direction did she go? I went back to K, towards the direction of the Golden Horse Hotel, K said, …

I didn't go back to him, but followed him to the direction of the Golden Horse Hotel

Because I was anxious, I drove very fast, but I didn't see my wife's white Mercedes-Benz along the way. Finally, I arrived at the entrance of the Golden Horse Hotel. I went straight to the entrance of the parking lot and walked around the parking lot, but I didn't see my wife's white Mercedes-Benz.

Strange, so strange, K Didn’t you say that your wife came to the Golden Horse Hotel?

Although I didn't see my wife's car appear here, my irritable heart gradually calmed down. I actually always hoped that my wife's car would not appear in the hotel. My wife might have come out again because of something else.

Didi… I came back to my mind after being honked by the car behind, but I was still worried. What if my wife’s car was not here, but the person was on it?

After parking the car, I looked at the four big words "Golden Horse Hotel with a red glow" above my head with expressionless face. By chance, it started to drizzle from the sky, hitting my raised face bit by bit. I had to go to the hotel. Hello, please help me see. Did this person come here not long ago?

I took out my wife's selfie from my phone. She was so beautiful that she was so dazzling in my eyes at this moment. Sorry, sir, it was inconvenient for us to disclose the information of the guest here. The waiter at the front desk looked at my phone and looked at me again. It seemed that hesitated for a while and said to me, I knew I had been here, right? I told me, in which room I was in, I took out a few hundred-dollar bills from my bag and handed them out. Sorry, sir, I really can't disclose it. Sorry, the waiter shook his head repeatedly. The front desk looked at me a few minutes ago, right? She went up a few minutes ago, right? You just need to nod, I exhaled heavily, my eyes must have turned red, … The front desk looked left and right slightly, and looked at me, no... But... The front desk whispered to me, what does it mean?

I frowned, and saw that she still had something to say, but didn't my wife come?

Then where did she go? I suddenly felt restless. No, my wife didn't come tonight. Isn't it that the implication is that, didn't we come last night, the night before yesterday?

So she came last night, did she?

My rapid breathing proved how uneasy I was at this time... She didn't come... Don't worry, listen to me... The female front desk seemed to see my uneasy mood. I don't know if I saw the wrong person... I have seen this photo of me twice in my memory, and I don't know if it was the same person. She is very beautiful, has white skin, and a pair of cute pairs of cool-wind ears. The front desk seemed a little afraid of something, and looked around nervously, very beautiful, very white, cool-wind ears?

My wife possesses it, I'm extremely disappointed

Um?

But, my wife only came twice?

I was even more confused. The first time I saw her was a bit like the person in your photo... It was last year... When I first came to work in the hotel, I remember it very clearly because it was the Chinese Valentine's Day. That night was not the night shift I was on. Later, the person on the night shift caught a cold. The supervisor asked me to replace him. I remember it was around 1 a.m., and I was sleepy and confused. Then a man called me. Behind him, it seemed that this girl was very beautiful, especially a pair of downwind ears, which made me remember it at a glance... The female front desk paused. The second time was at a meeting held by the county government here not long ago. That day, it happened that I was on duty. I saw that a pair of cute downwind ears came here for a meeting. Well, it looked so much like the girl in your photo. Is she your girlfriend? But last year's Chinese Valentine's Day... Ah... I'm sorry...The female front desk finally found something was wrong, and she was shocked. It's okay, thank you for telling me this. Do you still remember what that man looks like?

I put those hundred-dollar bills in front of her. I didn't see them anymore. I remember they were tall and didn't pay attention to the others. The front desk said to me, "Thank you, this is yours." After that, I walked out. The female front desk wanted to hand me the money, but I ignored her. I just want to find my wife now. Where else can she go when she is so late?"

My wife didn't come here tonight, so where did she go?

Last year on the Chinese Valentine's Day, I remember that I was working at work and chatting with my wife at night. She couldn't go out so late, right? And the girl at the front desk said she was a tall man calling her. Gong Wei couldn't say she was tall, right? When she said that during the meeting here a few days ago, she saw that person who looked very much like his wife. Could it be that Qianye has a woman who looks very similar to his wife?

My mind is very messy now, I just want to find it first or eager to know where my wife is now

Looking at the heavy rain outside, I was in a bad mood at this time. I couldn’t wait here and returned to the car in the rain. Isn’t the Golden Horse Hotel the way that K showed me?

For Ah, why should I believe K?

I don't even know who he is, but this person has been adding my WeChat message over the years and sending me some brain-stimulating news, can it be?

At this time, I felt goose bumps crawling all over my body, and even felt the temperature around me drop by several degrees.

Could it be that I have been fooled by this K?

When this idea emerged in my mind, it made me tremble involuntarily. Who is this K? I didn't have any basis because he sent me a few photos, so I believed him.

You lied to me, I gave K back, ... K didn't come back, it looked like before, and disappeared silently.

I might have been fooled by this K, but what reason is there?

This K and I have no grudges. I feel that I have not offended anyone. I think this way, there is no need to deceive me, but the fact that tonight is that K asked me to follow my wife's car to the Golden Horse Hotel, but my wife was not at the Golden Horse Hotel, but went somewhere

Yes, didn’t Lu Tong call me and I didn’t answer?

I have to ask her now what she is doing. Her trembling hands took out her cell phone from her pocket in a panic, found Lu Tong, and pressed it over, beep...beep... Every time the waiting sounds that came to my ears made my heart beat thumpingly, my heart was beating

Hello, the number you dialed...

I hung up the phone tremblingly, breathing rapidly, and a suffocation made me feel uncomfortable. After a while, I called again, beep...beep...I thought my wife would not answer my phone this time, but sometimes when I was most disappointed, there were often surprises again, beep...heep...husband...

Lu Tong answered my call, but her voice was very weak, as if she was restraining her own voice. In addition, I knew she was going out tonight, and probably knew why she was like this at this moment. What are you doing? I restrained my impulse. What am I not doing? I just missed you a little, but I didn’t answer the call. Are you busy?

My wife said gently, if I hadn't followed her all the way, I would have believed her gentle nonsense. Not yet, Lu Tong, are you at home?

The heavy rain outside was crazy, just like God was feeling unfair for me, Husband, I must be at home... What's wrong with you?

At this time, I heard my wife's breathing obviously become more rapid, obviously much more nervous than the stable and gentle words just now. It's better to be at home. I just came back from a business trip. I'm here right now. Waiting for me, at home?

Haha, Lu Tong, I didn't expect you to deceive me. I didn't want to expose her lies on the phone. I wanted to see how she performed in front of me.

Ah…husband, when are you back? Where are you? Let me pick you up?

My wife seemed very surprised. No, I'll get home soon, let's do it first

I heard what my wife wanted to say, so I hung up the phone and drove directly to home. Lu Tong, hehe, I want to see how you perform.

It was already very late, and Chiba's road was unobstructed. Looking at this familiar small city, I felt indescribable sadness at this moment. Did she really betray me and this home?

A gust of cold wind blew out of the car window, blowing away my fatigue and irritability a lot. If my wife really betrayed me, what should I do? I really haven't figured out how to face my son, face, and parents, how to go...

Facing Lu Tong...

Will I hit her? I don't think I can't. I'm not that kind of person. From childhood to adulthood, my parents educated me very well, what should I do, what should not be done, what morality, what is human ethics

However, Wang Weitao’s old stories will become reality and will once again impact my life.

Why is it me?

I think about the years, about my wife, family, and career, I have done everything in good spirits, like most ordinary people, I have been working hard to live and striving for a happy life. From graduation, to marriage, to having children, from clerks, to deputy section chiefs, to section chiefs, and now deputy directors, I have devoted all my energy and every minute and every second in my life. I am sure that I have done a good job and family, very well.

But, Lu Tong, why is this still happening? Why do you still carry me, son, and two families on your back to do such things that are contrary to human ethics and morals?

I can't figure it out, really can't figure it out. I don't know when, I felt my eyes were slightly wet. What did I do wrong? My wife should treat me like this and treat us.

Looking at the road closer and closer to home, I was a little scared. I had never been timid in the officialdom for so many years. At this moment, I felt scared. Why, why is this happening.

I came downstairs, and my wife's white Mercedes-Benz did not appear in my eyes. I was already desperate. She really...

No, there was a man standing at the entrance of the stairs when he went upstairs. He was a woman. He knew that he was a gorgeous woman without looking at his face. His long hair drifted with the night wind. He was wearing a beige coat, a snow-white and flat forehead, neither big nor small eyes, a tall nose, a moist lips, and a beautiful melon-shaped face. Most importantly, the cute and tender and white ears, standing tall at the entrance of the stairs, with a graceful temperament, dancing with the March wind

She seemed to be waiting for someone, she was looking to me, she was walking towards me...
