He enunciated the words' take a nap. '
Since I'd just had sex with Fang Yin last night, my chest felt tight and my mind was in a mess.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze into ice.
I had never thought that Fang Yin would be my husband's superior. How should I explain this to him when we get home?
I thought that Ling Feng would pull me away, but his emotions were calm beyond my imagination. After saying a few polite words, he walked out, completely ignoring me.
After he left, Fang Yin placed his hand on the dining table and lifted the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with disdain. "You might not know this, but he used his wife to get this project."
His words stirred my emotions into a mess. My mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and I was drowned in disappointment.
That night, Ling Feng came home late. He reeked of cigarettes, alcohol, and low-quality perfume. As soon as he came home, he sat on the sofa and smoked.
When I thought about how he had to work in Fang Yin's company and how he had to be restrained, I felt even more stifled.
"Hubby."
I hesitated for a while. Then, I picked up a piece of pastry from the table and handed it to him. "How about … you change your job?"
Hearing that, he lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot. He jolted up and slapped me in the face.
The slap went from my ear canal to my head, making me dizzy. My mouth was filled with a fishy taste. My cheeks burned, and my mind went blank.
Blue veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists.
His face was gloomy. I was so shocked that I forgot to breathe.
At this moment, the atmosphere was stiff. The door to the door suddenly opened, and Granny's voice came from the entrance. "Sigh, I'm so tired. I brought a lot of stuff this time. Moxin, come and help me carry them."
Ling Feng and I acted as if we didn't hear her. We stood rooted to the spot like two pieces of wood. When Granny came to us with all the bags, she found that something was wrong.
She furrowed her brows and pushed Ling Feng down on the sofa. She scolded him, "I've taught you since you were young. Only the most useless man in this world would hit his wife!" However, she didn't look like she was blaming him.
Then, she grabbed a few pieces of toilet paper and wiped my face. She asked me to go to the bathroom and wash the blood off my nose. I returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart. I felt that Fang Yin was telling the truth.
The moment I entered the bedroom, I smelled Lin Keke's unique scent. I resisted the nausea and wanted to lie down. When I lifted the blanket, a bright red lipstick mark entered my line of sight. There was also an inch long strand of hair on it.
I laughed at myself.
Lin Keke was interested in Ling Feng, and Ling Feng was a normal man. A man and a woman in the same room …
Once I had this thought, I couldn't stop it. In the end, I couldn't hold back my nausea. I grabbed the bedding and went to the guest room.
After that night, I started to seriously suspect that Ling Feng had sent me to his superior's bed. The following days started to become heart-wrenching.
Ling Feng ignored me, and Granny's attitude changed. When I got home from work, Granny would give me a lot of chores to do. I didn't even have time to prepare for class. When I was cooking, Granny would complain that this dish was too salty and that dish was too spicy. She would find fault with the food she cooked.
And under the premise that I had done something wrong, I could only swallow my anger.
One morning, I got up late and bought soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks for breakfast. As soon as Granny entered the kitchen, she started to scold me. "It's not like you will lose a piece of meat if you get up early to make breakfast. It's fine if you're lazy, but you've been married for three years, and your stomach hasn't moved at all. Why did our Ling family marry a hen that can't lay eggs?"
Hearing that, I felt annoyed. I furrowed my brows and retorted, "I used my own money to buy it."
