Chapter 4 Investigation

Mingyu, Mingyu! How can you do this to me? I love you with all my heart and soul. I trust you and fight against odds to get married to you. I work hard to build our home together. But what are you doing right now?

I turn on all the lights, making my room as bright as a sunny day. I take off my pajamas and look at myself in the mirror.

My face is not pretty, and my body is a little bit chubby, which is completely different from that of Ting. Dressed in suit, she looks gorgeous and professional. In contrast, sneakers, jeans, and T-shirt are my styles. If she is a diamond, shining in the sky, I may be just a rock scattered on the floor.

I cannot stay at home anymore. I have to figure it out.

Instead of driving my own car, I take a cab to a secluded copy shop to fake a police card and an arrest order with Mingyu's photo printed on it. The copy shop owner looks at me suspiciously, but I lie to him that I'm shooting a movie in the neighborhood, and this is the prop.

After getting all things done, I walk on the street alone with sunglasses. I wear it because I don't want others to recognize me or see my weakness.

As the sharing location shows, Mingyu is still in the motel. I dial Xia, my best friend. She is a tomboy. She's kind and sweet, and most importantly, being nice to me.

Mingyu doesn't like her because he has no feelings for hardcore girls. He always thinks that girls should be like water, meek, and enchanting.

Xia is not fond of Mingyu, either. In her words, Mingyu is not the right one. He's poor. His family is poorer. Such kind of person always has a stronger desire for success and has little resistance to seduction. He's not a suitable spouse for me.

I never take her words seriously, but unfortunately, they are correct.

"Xia, I think Mingyu is cheating. I need your help."

I never lie to Xia.

"Where are you?"

I tell her the address, and she comes for me within a few minutes.

Instead of comforting me, she scolds me, "Are you brainless? I've told you that he's not a good person. Where is that son of bitch?"

She's on fire and wants to kick Mingyu's ass. If she goes to the hotel with me, she would definitely ruin my plan. Therefore, I try my best to calm her down and tell all I've know to her.

I show her the fake police card and arrest order.

"I can't do it myself. I need your help to find out the room, stalk them when they get out of the motel, and take photos. Stay low and don't get exposed."

"Wow! How exciting. It's like what I've seen in the movie." She exclaimed. She regards it as a game. It's fun and interesting, but for me, it's life and death.

I sit in the cafe next to the motel, but my eyes are fixed on Xia, who's walking into the motel. She is talking to the girl at the front desk and showing her the police card. Unsurprisingly, the girl leads her to the elevator. It's a good start.

I take out my phone to check Mingyu's location and find that I have missed a call from Mingyu. I dial back, but he doesn't answer it. He must be "busy" now.

My heartbeat is racing, and I cannot think anymore. To calm myself down, I go to the supermarket next to the cafe. I need to vent my anxiety and anger. Shopping is the only thing I can do now.

It is not until Xia calls me that I realize that I have bought much useless stuff. She didn't find me in the cafe. When I tell her that I'm shopping in the supermarket, she's shocked, "Why are you still in the mood for shopping?"

"I told Mingyu's sister I'm out for shopping. I need to take something home to make it up."

"Take a look!" She hands the camera to me.

I have to say Xia is talented in photo shooting. She would be a really really good photographer. In the picture, Mingyu snakes Ting's wrist and kisses her neck in the elevator. It's almost impossible to catch such a great angle even for professionals. They really want each other. Look how horny they are.

Anyway, these photos prove one thing: Mingyu, my dear husband, is cheating on me.

I pretend to be calm, but my heart aches like being run down by a car and hit by thunder.

"You should divorce him and kick him out right away."

Xia is even angrier than me.

"Divorce? Is it good for him?"

Xia thinks a while and looks at me in confusion, "Then do you have any better plan?"

"Actually~~No!"

Xia is pissed off and rolled her eyes at me.

"My marriage proves to be a wrong decision, but I don't believe that our love dies already. I want to get him back. If I cannot do it, I have plan B."

"Wen, why do you waste your time to get back a cheater? Are you insane?" She is enraged by my words and leaves without turning back.

I smile wryly, since I have paid for the coffee, I should take it. It's bitter, and I never like it, but I need it.

Exhausted and helpless, I get home late at night. Mingyu is already home. He looks worried when I open the door, "Where have you been? Why don't you answer my phone?"

I hand the shopping bag to him, and pretend to know nothing, "I went shopping with Xia. It's too noisy there, and missed your call. I'm tired."

After chilling myself with a cold shower, I change into sexy lingerie. It's made of silk and really expensive. Mingyu is surprised to see a new me. But no desires or flames.

"Darling, you're sexy!"

I give him a seductive pose and purse my lips, "Mingyu, I want you."

Mingyu pounces on me, holds me in his arms, and kisses me hard, "Silly girl. I'm too tired today. What about tomorrow?"

I know why he's tired because he's done too much with another woman. He should be. "No, I want you today, right now."

After flirting with each other for a few rounds, Mingyu falls asleep. He's smiling in his dream. I am hate to see this, and if there is a knife next to me, I would definitely stab it into his heart.
