“You scared me,” Li Jiaxue said as she patted her chest, “remove the mask. I was afraid you were going to make trouble. Luckily you broke the silence, otherwise I’d have kicked you on your face. Get in the car, I don’t like this place.”
At the same time, Li Jiaxue had already entered the driver’s seat.
Li Ze wanted to take Liu Yuou away as well, but he couldn’t do it because there was no signal in the house.
After getting into the passenger seat, Li Ze tried to call Liu Yuou with his mask off.
“Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily switched off.”
After realizing that there was no way to contact Liu Yuou, Li Ze sent her a message.
“My wife isn’t at the Myron house. Contact me when you could connect to the Internet.”
After sending the message, Li Ze asked, “Have you noticed it?”
“Your wife is not at Xiamen or Longhai now,” Li Jiaxue said, “I had my friend check her travel records and found that she went to Shanghai this morning. Because you said she will leave for about two days, so I instinctively thought that she would attend the show. Otherwise, I’d have spied on her all night, or come to Yu Hui’s side in the morning. I would have followed her to the airport then.”
“It’s not your fault, because I wrongly guessed that she would attend the show.”
“It’s mainly because we haven’t tampered with her cell phone if not, it would have been easier.”
“Are you sure she’s gone to Shanghai?”
“Yes,” Li Jiaxue said, ” My friend won’t be mistaken as he works in the police station. He was my informant, a friend of mine for many years. Don’t ask me for more information about him. If his misfeasance is discovered, he would be immediately dismissed.”
“I wonder why she’s suddenly gone to Shanghai.”
“Didn’t she tell you?”
“She didn’t.”
“Give her a call,” Li Jiaxue said, “If she doesn’t admit it, she might have been there to date someone. If she admits that she’s been to Shanghai, then ask for the reason.”
“Distraction.”
“Distraction?”
“If I’m not wrong, she’ll give me a very convincing reason,” Li Ze took a glance at Li Jiaxue, “What about making a bet?”
“What bet?”
“She would admit that she has been to Shanghai to keep herself distracted. In fact, it would absolutely be that. Supposing she wants to relax, is it necessary to go to Shanghai?”
“It couldn’t be that.”
“Make a bet,” Li Ze said, “if she does say it, treat me to a meal. If she brings up another reason or doesn’t admit that she has been to Shanghai, I’ll treat you.”
“Alright!”
Li called his wife after Li Jiaxue agreed with the bet.
When the phone was answered, Li Ze asked, “Why did you call me earlier?”
“I just wanted to talk to you,” Ding Jie, on the other end of the line, said. “Hubby, why your phone was busy?”
“No reason.”
“Are you still angry?”
“I will never forgive a cold-blooded woman,” Li Ze said angrily, “Even if you’re angry with me, you shouldn’t hide the fact that our son was transferred. As long as you’re not cold-blooded, you can’t have done it. I told you that I had thrown our wedding photo when you asked for it this morning. What about you? You left without asking for the reason. Under normal circumstances, you should have asked me of the reason, or even stay at home.
“Weiwei was still asleep. You would be enraged if I have asked for the reason. Since you haven’t calmed down, I didn’t want to talk to you. We should have a good talk tomorrow when you have calmed down.”
“Where are you? On Yu Hui’s side?”
“No, I’m in Shanghai,”
“Why on the earth have you gone to Shanghai?”
“I don’t know,” Ding Jie murmured, “Maybe it’s because our relationship is freezing, so I feel a little depressed. I went to the Shanghai College of Business that I graduated from this afternoon. Though the scene was familiar, I became more melancholic on campus because of the lack of recognition. I want to come back now. I’m going back tomorrow morning because I have booked the hotel.”
“So are you there for distraction?”
“Similar to that.”
Li Ze really felt ironic in her words.
He was right.
After sneering in his heart, Li Ze said, “You really have the leisure to take a relaxation at Shanghai, right?”
“I graduated here. Anyhow, I wanted to revisit it.”
“With whom?”
“Just myself.”
“Lin is also your schoolmate, so I really doubt that you’re not with him.”
“Though we fell in love before, we haven’t been in contact since graduation.” Ding Jie said, “If Lin Yunan hadn’t suddenly appeared in Xiamen, I wouldn’t have interacted with him. Anyway, we are innocent. Please do not be suspicious, hubby. Actually, sometimes I feel really sad that even if am telling the truth, you wouldn’t believe me because I have lied a lot.”
“You finally understand it,”
“Yeah, heh.”
Hearing his wife’s bitter laugh, Li Ze didn’t want to talk any more, “Alright. I’m going to sleep.”
“Fine. Goodnight, hubby. ”
Li Ze hung up the phone in silence.
After Li Ze hung up, Li Jiaxue said, “It’s amazing that you are right. I have to treat you to the meal. What do you want to eat? I could afford whatever you want rather than the feast.”
“I just want to drink,” Li Ze said after pausing for a moment. “Call your husband. It’s been a long time since I met him.”
“No, let’s have a secret drink between us,”
“I’m afraid you’ll get drunk. He’ll take care of you.”
“What are you afraid of?”
