Chapter 21 A Sudden Enlightenment

“I don’t really remember her,” Xu Yina said, who wasn’t wearing makeup. “When I started working at Hanji, the boss lady wasn’t working there anymore. I only saw her occasionally when she came to Hanji, and we’d just greet her politely. But I’ve heard from older employees that the boss lady is a very kind person, not at all pretentious. In the few times I’ve met her, she was always smiling, the kind of smile that makes you feel very comfortable.”

“So the impression is pretty good, right?”

“We don’t interact much on a regular basis, so it’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.”

“You just said she cheated on me?”

“This is my guess based on your previous behavior, so please don’t scold me if I’m wrong,” Xu Yina paused, then added, “Of course, I think you’re not sure if your wife has cheated on you, which is why you came to this inn. If you were sure, I don’t think you would have come.”

“You are really very smart.”

“Boss, are you praising me?”

“Of course,” Han An said, “since you’ve already guessed this much, there’s no need for me to hide it from you.”

At this point, Han An extended his hand to Xu Yina.

Seeing this, Xu Yina, somewhat puzzled, still chose to shake hands.

After shaking hands, Han An said, “You can’t tell anyone about what I’m about to tell you, especially not my wife. If I find out you’ve tattled on her, I’ll fire you immediately. Actually, I’ll fire you no matter who you tell, because I don’t need a third person besides you to know about my family scandal. Ina, do you understand?”

“Um!”

After hesitating for a moment, Han An still told Xu Yina all his discoveries.

He didn’t intend to confide in Xu Yina; he just wanted her to help him deduce the truth.

After listening, Xu Yina asked, “Boss, do you keep that kind of hair?”

“I had my mom keep it in Shenzhen,” Han An said. “She did send me photos. Do you want to see them?”

As he spoke, Han An took out his phone.

Seeing this, Xu Yina’s face instantly turned red, and she quickly said, “Don’t show me that kind of thing!”

Seeing Xu Yina’s shy appearance, Han An felt that Xu Yina was still unmarried.

Of course, he knew that Xu Yina got married the year before last.

As for who Xu Yina’s husband is, he never asked.

“Aren’t you going to look at the evidence?”

“Forehead……”

“Then I’ll put it away.”

“Let’s take a look!”

Upon hearing Xu Yina’s words, Han An opened his WeChat chat window with his mother and handed his phone to Xu Yina.

Looking at the photos, Xu Yina felt her body burning up.

Although it was just a photograph, the fact that it showed a woman’s pubic hair and underwear stained with semen and labeled “slut” made it impossible for Xu Yina not to feel embarrassed. Even though she was married, she remained as easily embarrassed as a young girl, especially when it came to anything related to sex.

“Boss, are you sure these all belong to the boss’s wife?”

“I’m not sure, but I remember that hair can be used for DNA testing,” Han An said. “So when I get back to Shenzhen, I’ll have to take those five pubic hairs to get a DNA test done.”

“But I heard that you need to have hair follicles to do a DNA test.”

“I’m not too sure about that,” Han An said. “The receptionist just said that a man helped my wife carry her luggage, so I wanted to check the security camera footage. Maybe that way we can find out who the adulterer is.”

“Boss, how is your relationship with your wife?”

“It’s always been good.”

“That’s strange.”

“Do you think only women who frequently argue with their husbands cheat on their partners?”

“That’s not what I meant. I was just thinking about the boss’s wife’s motives for having an affair.”

“Women are emotional, and sometimes you can’t use common sense to make judgments.”

“I would never cheat.”

“It seems you love your husband very much.”

“like?”

After saying that word, Xu Yina frowned.

“Ina, I need your help,” Han An said. “Come with me to the front desk and tell them you’ve lost something valuable and want to see the security camera footage.”

“Of course, that’s no problem, but you’ll be going somewhere else later, boss.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Go to the courier station,” Xu Yina said. “Assuming the person who sent the package is the adulterer, he probably met the courier. If we go to the courier station and ask, I reckon we can find out what the adulterer looks like. Of course, we need to get a picture of the man from the surveillance video first before we can go to the station. Rather than having the courier describe the sender’s appearance, it’s better to just show the courier a picture.”

Upon hearing this, Han An had a sudden sense of enlightenment.

It seems he made the right decision to talk to Xu Yina about this!

After smiling, Han An said, “Looks like I’ll have to give you a raise.”

“One should not accept rewards without merit.”

“Then you help me find the adulterer, and I’ll double your salary.”

“No way,” Xu Yina said. “I’m a very practical person. If you give me that much salary, I’ll feel uneasy.”

Don’t you like money?

“Of course I like it,” Xu Yina said, “but as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way, so even if I help you find the adulterer, you shouldn’t give me a raise. If you want to thank me later, just treat me to a meal.”

“become!”

“By the way,” Xu Yina said, “before you go to the front desk, I suggest you ask the cleaning lady first. If she finds cigarette butts or even that kind of thing while cleaning the room, then you can be sure that the boss’s wife is really having an affair.”

“That kind of thing?”

“It’s that kind of thing men wear.”

You mean condoms?

“We two know it in our hearts, there’s no need to say it out loud.”

“You’re married, and you’re still afraid to talk about this kind of thing?”

“Boss, your thoughts are truly filthy.”

“What’s so dirty about it?”

“So, you’re saying that just because we’re married, we can talk about condoms all the time?”

“That’s not what I meant. I just think it’s okay to talk about it in certain situations, like now,” Han An laughed. “Of course, if you feel that you can only talk about condoms with your husband, then there’s some truth to that. To be honest, I’m a little envious of him because you must be a very conservative woman.”

“Of course,” Xu Yina said frankly, “Although we’ve had a lot of conflicts lately, I’ve never thought about cheating. Boss, don’t misunderstand, I’m not being sarcastic, I’m just stating the facts. I think that even if two people argue or even fight, they are still husband and wife, and neither of them should betray the other. If someone dares to do something like that, they’re really worse than a pig or a dog.”

“So, did I marry a pig or a dog?”

“I really wasn’t being sarcastic towards the landlady!”

Hearing this, Han An couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What’s so funny?”

“I think you’re quite cute; you don’t look like a married woman at all.”

“I guess it doesn’t matter whether I get married or not, life will just go on the same way.”

“You’ll be different when you become a mother,” Han An said after a pause. “You’ve been married for two years, aren’t you planning to have a child?”
