Chapter 4

With her legs tightly closed, the scratches could be barely covered.

If you open your legs even slightly, the scratches will be visible.

So Bai Jing was thinking about how to cover up the scratches if she slept with her husband at night.

If her husband wanted to have sex with her, wouldn’t they be 100% sure they would see it?

After sighing, Bai Jing, feeling uneasy, stood up and began to get dressed.

While Bai Jing was getting dressed, Han An and his mother-in-law He Donglian were chatting on the first floor.

After chatting for a while, Han An asked, “When did Xiao Jing arrive here?”

“I reckon around eight in the morning.”

“Eight o’clock in the morning?” Han An asked, startled. “Wasn’t she supposed to arrive here on the 30th?”

“What?”

“She only went back to her parents’ home at eight o’clock this morning?”

“yes!”

Upon hearing his mother-in-law’s extremely affirmative answer, Han An’s mood plummeted.

His wife took a flight to Lijiang on the morning of the 30th, and should have arrived at her parents’ home around 1 or 2 pm that same day. But to Han An’s despair, his wife only returned to her parents’ home this morning. Today is October 3rd, so where did his wife go for the previous three days? Could she have been messing around with other men the whole time? And had that man send him back pubic hair and underwear stained with semen and labeled “slut”?

If that’s true, then his wife is a complete slut!

After suppressing his agitation, Han An asked, “How was she in a good mood when she got home?”

“I don’t know,” He Donglian said. “As soon as she got back, she said she barely slept last night and went straight upstairs to sleep. I called her for lunch, but she was sleeping too soundly and didn’t hear me, so I ate by myself. Anzi, have you had lunch yet? If not, I’ll get some noodles for you and Xiaojing to eat. Later, I’ll go to Aunt Zhang’s to buy a free-range chicken for you two to nourish yourselves. Look at your complexion, you look like you’ve been up for several nights in a row.”

Did she say why she didn’t sleep last night?

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask her. You can ask her yourself!”

His wife doesn’t have narcolepsy, so she can sleep from eight in the morning to one in the afternoon. She must have stayed up almost all night last night.

In the four years he’s been with his wife, she has never stayed up late, let alone all night, unless there are special circumstances.

So Han An was particularly curious about why his wife had stayed up all night last night.

Han An firmly believed that his wife had come to Lijiang to see a certain man, and that she had even been tied up by him after an argument. Therefore, his intuition told him that his wife had likely been with that man all night. As for why she had stayed up all night, Han An really didn’t want to think about it. Because no matter how he tried to connect the dots, he felt it was related to sex.

Hearing footsteps, Han An, without saying anything more, chose to drink tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Han An saw his wife walking towards them.

His wife was wearing a gray spaghetti strap chiffon dress, the hem of which barely covered her knees.

Because the dress had a cinched waist, his wife’s incredibly slender waist was particularly noticeable.

Of course, what really made Han An take a second look was her breasts swaying slightly with her steps, and her two jade-like legs that looked even longer thanks to the flesh-colored pantyhose.

Because his wife’s breasts did not shrink after giving birth to their son, they remained large, like two water-filled balloons, appearing exceptionally full.

Every time they did it, Han An’s gaze would be drawn to those two fleshy mounds that swayed with each thrust.

Add to that her long, straight hair that cascades down her back, and her face that is already captivating without the need for makeup, and Han An felt that his wife’s beauty surpassed that of most female celebrities.

His wife was wearing sandals at the time; if she had changed into high heels, she would have been even more beautiful and charming.

After sitting down next to her husband, Bai Jing, with her eyes half-closed, asked, “What are you two talking about?”

“Just now, An…”

“It’s like this,” Han An interjected, “Mom said you haven’t had lunch yet, and I haven’t either, so she was thinking of getting some noodles for us to eat. I mean, that’s too much trouble, I’d rather take you out to eat something. Come on, let’s go out to eat something and take a walk. After living in the big city for so long, I actually miss the bumpy roads.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Han An stood up.

He Donglian originally wanted to say that the noodles would be quick, but seeing that her son-in-law had already stood up, she didn’t say anything more.

As for Bai Jing, she was indeed hungry, so she went out with her husband.

Han An didn’t want to go far, so he took his wife into a nearby halal noodle shop.

Han An ordered a bowl of braised beef rice noodles, while Bai Jing ordered a bowl of garlic sprout and beef fried rice.

Seeing his wife’s somewhat unnatural expression and the way she kept glancing around, Han An wanted to take out the photos and question her about the five hairs and the underwear.

However, since it could not be proven that both were his wife’s children, Han An did not do so.

If the photos were shown, his wife could easily claim it was someone else’s prank.

This was an outcome that Han An could foresee.

“You don’t look well. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?”

“I guess it was because I was thinking about seeing my mom when I woke up that I couldn’t fall asleep,” Bai Jing said. “I dawdled until after 5 a.m. before I finally got some sleep and was woken up by the alarm clock.”

“You’ll see your mom as soon as you wake up?” Han An asked, frowning. “Weren’t you supposed to arrive at your mom’s place on the 30th?”

“No, I only arrived this morning. I spent the previous few days exploring the city.”

“You’re not spending National Day with your mom, but instead you’re out having fun in the city. I really don’t understand you.”

“My mom doesn’t have the habit of celebrating National Day.”

So you’re just going to explore the city?

“I really like the city center, especially Lijiang Old Town, so I stayed there for three nights.”

With whom?

“Of course it’s just me,” Bai Jing said with a laugh, her dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth. “Did you think I was living with someone else, honey?”

“I wouldn’t mind if it were a woman.”

“If it were a man, would you mind, husband?”

Do you think I’m the kind of man who’s prone to being cuckolded?

“Of course not,” Bai Jing quickly said, “I was just joking with you, honey. There’s no need for you to be angry.”

“I’m not angry, I just don’t understand why you would stay in the city alone for three days.”

“No particular reason, just trying to relax.”

Hearing his wife’s reply, Han An was naturally very upset.

Because his wife had marks on her wrists from being strangled, and someone had mailed him pubic hair and underwear, he truly believed his wife was having an affair. He even felt that his wife’s insistence on coming to Lijiang alone was tantamount to offering herself up, so from the 30th until this morning, his wife had been taken advantage of by some man. Because it was necessary to visit her parents’ home before returning to Lijiang, his wife parted ways with her lover this morning and went back to her parents’ home.
