Chapter 127

After entering the Xindu Hotel, Han An appeared extremely wary.

It would be ridiculous if Li Fulong saw him but he didn’t see Li Fulong.

Reaching the cashier, Han An asked, “Are there any rooms available on the eighth floor?”

“Please wait a moment while I check,” the receptionist said after a short while. “We have a few rooms left. Sir, what are your requirements? For example, would you prefer a double room or a room with two beds?”

“I want 828.”

“828 is already occupied, sorry.”

“Then let’s go to the one next door.”

“Is 827 okay?”

“Can.”

“Room 827 is a double room, and the daily cost is 480 yuan.”

“no problem.”

“Please show your ID card.”

After handing his ID card to the front desk, Han An intended to pay the money via WeChat. However, because WeChat would record the transaction, he ultimately chose to pay in cash. While mobile payments are increasingly convenient, they are clearly a poor choice for someone trying to deliberately conceal their travel history. For example, if his wife hadn’t used Didi Chuxing after arriving in Lijiang but instead called a taxi directly, Han An certainly wouldn’t have known she went to the Huazhu Inn.

After receiving the room key and thanking the receptionist, Han An headed towards the elevator.

Upon arriving on the eighth floor, Han An strode towards room 827.

Han An only breathed a sigh of relief after swiping his room card to open the door, going inside, and closing the door.

Fortunately, we didn’t run into Li Fulong, otherwise our plan to catch him in the act that afternoon might have fallen through.

Knowing that Li Fulong lived next door, Han An wanted to rush over and beat Li Fulong up.

He actually dared to come all the way to Shenzhen just to have sex with his wife!

That son of a bitch is really bold!

Besides wanting to beat up Li Fulong, Han An also thought his wife was particularly despicable.

If his wife hadn’t agreed to meet with Li Fulong, why would Li Fulong have come all the way to Shenzhen?

As the saying goes, flies won’t land on an egg without cracks, so ultimately it all comes down to his wife’s problem.

If they successfully catch their spouse cheating this afternoon, then this marriage, which was originally beautiful but has now become dull and tasteless, can come to an end.

After it’s over, will Han An choose to be with Xu Yina?

Han An couldn’t figure out the answer to this question.

Although Xu Yina is quite good, Han An always felt that something was missing.

Looking at his watch, Han An saw that it was not yet ten o’clock and he felt a little bored.

After turning on the TV, Han An watched it listlessly.

Around 11 o’clock, Han An received several pictures from the construction company, and he also forwarded them to his wife.

These pictures show the house he bought in Huizhou.

The reason he sent it to his wife was simply to let her know that he was already in Huizhou.

That way, his wife would be able to go to Li Fulong’s place without any worries in the afternoon.

“It looks pretty good. When can we move in?”

“In another month.”

“Will it be rented out?”

“Your mom said not to rent it out, because she’s afraid someone will make a mess of it.”

“My mom is old-fashioned, honey, you don’t need to worry about her.”

“Actually, I have the same concern, especially after seeing a news report yesterday. The news said that a female college student gave birth in her rented room, but because she had been abandoned by her boyfriend, she didn’t want to be a single mother, so she just left the baby in the rented room. The rent was due soon, and the deposit was her boyfriend’s, so she just left. When the landlord came to the door, all he found was the baby’s corpse crawling with maggots.”

“Honey! That was scary!”

In addition to the text, his wife also added three sweating emojis.

“Although I’m not superstitious, it’s always good to be careful. If something like that happens, our new house will really be tainted, and bad luck might follow us forever.”

“Then let’s not rent it. We’re not short of a thousand or two dollars anyway.”

“How’s your preparation for the afternoon interview going?”

“No preparation is needed, just show up.”

Wishing you all the best.

“Thank you for your understanding husband. If I get the job, I will never neglect you and our son.”

“That’s settled then. I’m going to have lunch with the renovation manager.”

“Will you be back after dinner?”

“Not so fast. I still need to travel around and see if it’s possible to open a branch here.”

“If you want to eat at home, just let me know, and I’ll buy the groceries and cook.”

“Since you’re not going home for dinner, you don’t need to buy groceries.”

“OK.”

“Let’s talk again tonight.”

“Uh-huh.”

Because he hadn’t slept well the night before, Han An drew the curtains and went to sleep after chatting with his wife on WeChat.

Han An didn’t wake up until 1 a.m.

Because he was hungry, Han An also ordered takeout through Meituan.

Han An knew his wife would arrive around 3 p.m. because she said the interview was at 3 p.m.

But to ensure everything went perfectly, Han An opened the door a crack at 2 o’clock.

That way, he can know his wife has arrived immediately.

Because the gap is very small, his wife would not know he was there unless she got close to it.

He originally wanted to observe the outside through the peephole, but the peephole’s field of vision did not include the door of 828, so it was safer to open the door a crack.

Ten minutes before three o’clock, Han An received a call from his wife.

Because he was worried that his wife was in the corridor, Han An walked to the window before answering the phone.

“Honey, are you on your way home?”

“No,” Han An said, feigning nonchalance. “I estimate we’ll set off around four o’clock.”

“Is that a suitable area to open a hot pot restaurant?”

“There are also lively streets in Huizhou, but the flow of people can’t compare with that in Shenzhen.”

“But the rent is low!”

“I understand that,” Han An said. “Let’s talk about this when I get back.”

“Um.”

How did the interview go?

“On my way to an interview.”

“Good luck, I hope to hear good news.”

“I will, honey, you can do it too!”

“Then I’ll hang up.”

“Um.”

After hanging up, Han An walked to the door again and peered outside through the crack.

At 3:01, his wife, Bai Jing, appeared in his sight.

Looking at his wife, who was wearing a pink halter dress and was clearly wearing makeup, Han An felt as if his heart had been pierced by several sharp arrows at the same time. The indescribable pain made Han An particularly angry.

He felt that his wife was like a prostitute, coming directly to the hotel to find guests after chatting with them on WeChat.

Hearing the knock on the door, Han An clenched his fists tightly.

He was telling himself to be more restrained and absolutely not to make a mistake at the most crucial moment.

Since his wife was dressed so extravagantly, she must have already decided to sleep with Li Fulong.

So he might as well wait a few more minutes until the two of them started having sex before making his move.

He could kick open the door, take a picture of his wife and Li Fulong, both naked, and that would be the most obvious evidence of his wife’s infidelity!

With such evidence, his wife would have no choice but to divorce him!

Han An was initially somewhat smug, but then felt extremely pathetic.

After his wife went into Li Fulong’s room, Han An closed the door.

Walking to the bedside, Han An, with nowhere to vent his frustration, could only frantically pound the bed with his fists.
