Chapter 67-68

The peaceful life lasted for a while. With my efforts, I gradually forgot the mysteries that have not been answered yet. I don’t care anymore, but... what is life?

Life is an inevitable result of a series of accidental superposition. Life is like a rebellious person who will never continue to follow your ideas.

Husband, I'm going to work overtime tonight, don't pick me up, eat something on the way before going back.

I was busy working and received a call from my wife at 2 pm.

Oh, you still have the chance to work overtime when you are free at work. It’s rare.I teased her.

Oh, it's Ah, it's said that the bureau leaders will accompany the city leaders to inspect tomorrow, and they need to urgently formulate reception plans and practice on-site. It's true.The wife muttered a few dissatisfaction as she spoke.

OK, then you can be busy, otherwise, I will work overtime to wait for you in the evening.

No need, the director said that he would treat us to a meal after he was busy.

Well, don’t let them drink you when you have a meal, otherwise I will settle the score with your director and come back early in the evening.

Haha I got it.

My job is a rare and clear stream in the workplace circle where 996 is blessed. Working overtime has never been our corporate culture. Most people can still get off work on time most of the time, but this does not mean there is no work pressure. It’s just that many people will balance their own life and work. Take me as an example. Most of the time I choose to get off work on time to pick up my wife and go home with me, but some of the time I choose to finish my work in the company.

I have always believed that only those who are responsible for their family will be responsible for their work, because people's emotions are interconnected. Since there is no hard indicator to pick up people today, I chose to do what I have in the company at ease.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening to finish my work. I took out a bucket of instant noodles from the office cabinet to be considered for today's dinner. I thought of my wife taking care of her passing by and then going back. If she knew that my dinner was instant noodles in the office, I would probably have to say something about me again.

By the way, when it comes to my wife, I don’t know if she has finished eating, so I took out my phone and sent her a WeChat message.

I work overtime too, are you okay?I'll pick you up.

I clicked to send it, but I didn't see her reply after I finished the instant noodles. I thought it might be because the atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm and I didn't have the chance to look at my phone, so I waited for another five minutes and called.

The beeping sound that was connected for a long time but no one answered the phone. My brows frowned slightly. The bad memories that I forgot for a long time came to my mind. I hung up the phone until the no-one answered the prompt sound. I waited for five minutes and dialed it again. The same result was still the same. I decided not to wait and go home first.

Just as I put on my coat, tidy up my briefcase, and was about to walk out of the office where there were few people, my phone rang and the caller ID was from my wife, so I quickly answered it.

Feed my husband, we finished eating, we just took out a bathroom and didn’t receive the call.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I was about to leave, where are you?I'll pick you up.

Oh, I'm at the Cantonese restaurant near my unit, you know.

I thought about it and realized where my wife was talking about. Okay, dear, please sit for a while, I'm almost here to call you.

OK OK, bye husband.

After the evening rush hour, the road was a lot above it. In less than twenty minutes, I rushed to the entrance of the hotel my wife said. I saw a beautiful figure wearing a camel windbreaker standing on the side of the road, waving to me.

You know it's your own car so far away?I asked to my wife who opened the door and got into the car.

Haha, feel it.

I looked at her, my cheeks flushed, and a faint smell of alcohol quickly spread in the car.

Or have you drunk?

Well, a little bit, didn't drink much.

Don't let people know that you can drink some, otherwise you will have trouble in the future.I complained.

Yes, I know.

My wife's good manners made me relieve some of my only doubts.

Life seems to have returned to its original track. The past few months of tossing can be said to have paid a price but gained nothing, but anything often needs to be verified. At least the appearance of Zhou Ming and his cousin has helped me get rid of the troubles of azoospermia and the lack of children. My wife and I can now face the negative impact of all this calmly. I no longer have to take the initiative to hand over my beautiful wife to a strange or familiar man like an incompetent cuckold man. In the future, my wife will only belong to me, but... is the reality often what we imagined?

One weekend at noon, I was working at home and received a call.

Hello, Lao Zhu, I saw you, come out and have a drink.

The caller was Lao Han, a few years older than me, a colleague and friend. He is not a very close contact, but he will come out to have a meal every once in a while. He is a friend who has a long-lasting relationship and will not slowly get distant over time.

Haha, dreaming, what do you mean to see me?I'm at home.

at home?His tone really wanted to be unbelievable what I said. No, I saw your car at Sheraton Daning.

What?You've read it wrong.I was a little surprised.

Damn, if there is a Tesla with the same color that has your brand, there is still a little possibility, but the phone number you left in the car is exactly the same, then isn't that a hell?Have you come out with your wife on your back and you will become a lover?Hahaha.

My heart skipped a beat. Just an hour ago, my wife drove my car to work overtime, saying that it was to deal with some urgent matters, or did I force her to put the car keys and let her go and go back soon. She hesitated for a while before picking it up, but now someone told me that my car appeared in the parking lot of a hotel. Is this going to the hotel to work overtime?

Hey hey hey, are you listening?When Lao Han saw me, he didn't say anything and thought I was dead.

Oh oh oh, my wife drove the car, saying that she was going to meet a friend, and I didn’t know where to go. I didn't even dare to tell my wife that she was driving overtime.

I'll fuck!Then you have to be careful. Such a beautiful wife is carrying you to the hotel alone, be careful to put a hat on you, hahaha.

How many years older than me is, it should be the most calm age for a man, but his mouth is notoriously slick, and I have long been used to making jokes about such things.

Hey, why not like this, I will talk to your Nana and check if there is any enemy situation for you.

Go away, get out.

I teased each other on the phone and agreed to hang up the phone when I met in the future, but my mood became heavier. When the couple started to lie about their whereabouts, it meant that the foundation of the marriage building had loosened. This may be the problem I face now. This is not the first time my wife has deceived me on this issue recently. The memories that should have been indifferent to me again at this moment.

In order to prove whether Lao Han was dazzled, I opened the APP for finding vehicle locations on my mobile phone. To be honest, in the few times my wife used the car alone, I never took the initiative to find the location of the vehicle because I never thought about doing this, and my wife didn't know that the intelligence of vehicles now has reached this point, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to drive there.

After some operation, the small blue dot representing the car indeed appeared in the position on the screen as the old man said. It had been quietly stopped there for 37 minutes. At this moment, my doubts were greater than anger, but I could also clearly feel that the proportion of the latter was gradually increasing.

The hotel where my wife is located is at least 5 kilometers away from her work unit. Obviously, it is impossible that there are too many people working overtime on weekends, and she goes too late and can't stop the bus, so she has to park in a hotel a few kilometers away. Then the only truth is that the so-called overtime is just a cover. Her destination is the hotel. What can a beautiful young woman like her do when she goes to a hotel without her husband?

I dare not think about it anymore.

I exited the APP and called up the dial page. Because my fingers were trembling slightly, I almost dialed her number wrongly. The prompt sound of the call was heard, but no one answered the phone for a long time. Just when I felt that the gentle female voice was about to ring, the phone was connected.

Hello, husband, what's wrong?My wife's voice was very calm.

My wife was less than an hour away from home. It was logical that it was a bit early to ask when it would be home. I hurriedly organized a seemingly reasonable language, Oh, that... I remembered that the car seemed to be insufficient, is it enough for you to drive back?

Without Ah, I think there is still more than 200 kilometers of range.The wife replied, no abnormality could be heard in her voice.

Oh, that's probably because I remembered it wrong. By the way, how long will it take for you to come back?I asked casually.

how long?She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be asking, it was about an hour or two.

OK, come back early and hang up.

After hanging up the phone, my heart fell into an ice cave. Before dialing the phone, I still had a glimmer of hope, that is, my wife was not lying to me, but just temporarily changed her plan to go to the hotel to handle some normal affairs. These affairs were not so important that they needed to report to me. After receiving my call, she would just ask to relieve my doubts, but none of these situations happened.

I stood up from the sofa and had no intention of continuing the work I had just done. I felt that my mind was filled with all kinds of misunderstandings. I just hesitated for a few seconds and made a decision that I would verify these things myself.

I changed my clothes as fast as possible, went out and took a car and headed straight to the Sheraton Hotel in Daning. When I was on the road, I always stared at the vehicle positioning. The vehicle kept refreshing and the vehicle stayed still. I wish it could move as soon as possible. The running trajectory showed that it was rushing home, but what disappointed me was that its position had not changed until I arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

The hotel is located in a large business district, which is also one of the main activity areas for my wife and I, so I am relatively familiar with it. The hotel's underground parking lot is actually connected to the shopping mall parking lot, and it only sets out an area for guests to park for free.

The exclusive parking area of ​​the hotel is not big, and with the help of positioning, I found my car not long after. I saw it parked quietly in a corner. It was obvious that my wife didn't have much skills in driving. She didn't dare to park in the middle of the two cars.

I looked at the positioning software again and found that my car had been parked here for more than an hour, but the hostess she brought it was still missing. Thinking that my wife might be doing something in a room upstairs that I didn't want me to know, my heart surging. The little good mood that I had accumulated after finally disappears recently was almost gone. I took two deep breaths, slowly took out my cell phone and dialed her phone.

I received my call again soon after, which surprised my wife.

Hello, what's wrong with my husband?

Oh, it just happened to be something going on. How long will it take for you to finish?I'll go to your unit to find you.I said as calmly as possible.

Ah?My wife was obviously a little surprised, I...it will take a while.

It's okay, you're busy with your business, then I'll go to your unit to get the car later and come back to pick you up after finishing the business.

Ah?My wife was shocked again. Oh, you said you, I said you don’t want to drive, you insisted that I drive, and now you need to use it again, that’s true.

I suppressed the irritation that slowly rose in my heart, but my tone gradually became cold. What's wrong with you?

Ah?Oh, nothing.My wife suddenly became as weak as a child who did something wrong. When will you arrive at Ah?

I'll be walking outside for a while now, for about half an hour. You're busy with your own business, and I'll drive away by myself.

Oh oh OK.

After hanging up the phone, I found a location where I could clearly observe the parking space but would not be easily discovered. I knew she would get out and drive to the unit soon so that she could continue to reconcile this lie. I want to know who will appear next to her at that time.

Sure enough, just six or seven minutes later, I saw my wife walking hurriedly towards the parking space. The footsteps of kicking and stomping high heels echoed in the quiet parking lot. I hid my figure behind a pillar, and only poked out a pair of eyes to observe her around. Just as she was walking towards the vehicle, a figure stopped slowly about five or six meters behind her. When I saw this person, my heart sank. It was... or indeed my cousin!

He hurried a few steps, and when his wife opened the car door and was about to get into the car, she grabbed her arm and seemed to be saying something. The wife seemed a little angry. After replying a few words, she shook her hand away, sat in the cab and started the vehicle and drove away. Her cousin waved her fists hard in the air to vent her dissatisfaction but helplessness.

A sound of music sounded in the distance, which was my cousin’s cell phone ringtone, a Tu Hi song that I could not hear was noisy and could not be called famous.

Hello, brother?My cousin's voice was a little surprised and guilty.

Where are you?I suddenly realized that this question seemed too obvious, so I added another sentence, How are you doing recently?

Oh, I'm at work, brother, you know that the 4S store is very busy on weekends.

Well, be busy and concentrate on your work can forget a lot of things.I said.

Brother, I won’t tell you anymore. If a customer comes, I want to receive him. I will invite you out for dinner another day.

Well, you're busy.

I said and hung up the phone, then looked at my cousin not far away, and saw him put away his cell phone and walked back towards the way he came, but he looked a little disappointed.

Instead of taking back my phone, I opened WeChat and clicked on a voice. It was just received by me more than ten minutes ago and I hadn't had time to listen.

Brother Ah, your cousin is very smart. He has only been working for a week and has achieved one month of sales. He is smart, but he doesn’t focus much on his work and asks for leave on the first weekend. If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have criticized him. If you have time, please advise him. Don’t be too playful at such a young age. It’s the right way to seize the time and make more money.

After hearing this, I sneered and left the parking lot.

I did not go to my wife's unit to pick up the car as I said, but turned around and went home. I threw my tired body on the sofa, thinking uncontrollably about what the two of them might do in the hotel. I kept making assumptions and denying them until all kinds of chaotic information were tortured to drowsy. During this period, my wife called and probably asked me why I had agreed to go to my unit to pick up the car and why it didn't appear, but I chose to ignore them all because I was thinking about one thing, one very important thing, that is... a showdown.

Yes, I must ask why my wife deceived me again and why we have brought about the ups and downs of life that has returned to the right path. I sat motionlessly on the sofa like a sculpture, gradually losing the concept of time. I don’t know how long it took, but I felt that the light outside the window seemed to gradually dim, and the door of my house finally remembered a familiar unlocking sound.

I turned to look at the door, my neck was extremely stiff.

My wife walked into the living room, put her hands on her hips and looked angry. What's wrong with you?I said I didn’t come, and I didn’t answer the phone call. I thought what’s wrong with you. I rushed back and you would be fine. I’ll sit here happily.

Where did you go in the afternoon?When my wife finished venting, I asked slowly.

I...didn't I work overtime at the unit in the afternoon? I have been waiting for you for more than an hour after work overtime.

I slowly stood up and sighed, "Ah... Wife, I know I can't hold on for the rest of my life. I still have to say it. Regarding the matter of borrowing seeds to get pregnant, I am indeed a bastard. This is a stain that I can't get rid of in my life.

My wife seemed to be frightened by my solemn words, you...why are you saying this?

I waved my hand at her and signaled to listen to me. The suffering and grievances you suffered were destined to be compensated for by my whole life, but... I took a long breath. Since this matter has ended, should some behaviors end with this farce?

Husband...what do you want to say Ah?

I looked into her eyes and saw that her eyes were a little unnatural, but it was not as panicked as yet.

Then I just said, where did you go in the afternoon?Don't tell me that you are working overtime.

My wife's lips were stammering, and her face changed several times.

I……

To be honest, don't let me down.

I... My wife sighed softly and slowly put her bag on the table. Shunzi and I met.

I feel a little relieved and sad about her honesty.

Where is it?

In...Daning International.She whispered.

I secretly sneered in my heart about her avoidance of importance. Is it Daning International or Daning Sheraton?

She suddenly raised her head and looked at me, her eyes full of incredible how I knew.

It's not Ah, we didn't go to the hotel, we just met at Starbucks, and it took less than an hour until you called me.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in my heart, like a ray of sunshine at the end of the dark tunnel. Is it really a misunderstanding?

Then why do you hide it from me?

I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand Ah.The wife said with a sad face.

Did he take the initiative to find you?

My wife nodded. Actually, he thought... he wanted to... he wanted to... me... but I didn't agree. I didn't go to the hotel with him. I just chatted in the cafe next to me for a while. In fact, I kept advising him not to always think about being with me, and to respect me as my sister-in-law.My wife's voice was very soft.

real?

Of course it is true, believe me.My wife lights her head like a chicken pecks at rice.

The big stone that had been pressed on my chest for most of the day was gently put down. Why don't I talk to him?

My wife thought about it and finally shook her head, forget it, don’t come forward first, I think others are not bad, just a little persistent, give some time.

I finally agreed to my wife's suggestion and did not show off with my cousin for the time being, but the layer of grudge in my heart is difficult to eliminate. It is not that I don't believe in my wife, but I firmly believe that the progress of some things must be in my own hands. So after a long time of confusion, I made a decision that unexpectedly made me decide to go to my cousin's rental house.
