Chu Fang? What's he doing here? ... ...Wu Di was a little confused.
After getting married, Chu Fang became like a little wife, rarely leaving the house and coming to Wu Di's company very often.
Filled with doubt, Wu Di entered the office and saw Chu Fang sitting at his desk, clicking the mouse.
"Why did you come? You didn't even tell me." Wu Di sat opposite him.
Chu Fang raised his eyelids: "How could I discover what you've been doing if I didn't make a surprise visit?"
He glanced at his secretary, Ji Fang, beside him and said, "We're just chatting. What are you doing standing here? What, trying to make yourself feel important?"
"President Chu, I..."
Wu Di interrupted his secretary, saying, "Ji Fang, we need to talk about something. You can go now."
Ji Fang left the office in her high heels and closed the door.
She slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Chu Fang only visited Wu Di's company a few times, she had a good impression of him. He was mature and handsome, generous, and his assets far exceeded Wu Di's.
She always treated him with politeness, and Chu Fang responded with a smile, showing none of the arrogant demeanor often associated with wealthy people.
But today, Chu Fang changed his attitude and treated him with a cold face.
The words Chu Fang just said stunned Ji Fang, as if struck by lightning, leaving her almost breathless.
In the office.
"Did Ji Fang offend you? Why are you so angry?" Wu Di poured a glass of water for Chu Fang. "I apologize to you on her behalf."
"What? Feeling sorry for me?" Chu Fang glanced at him sideways.
"What are you saying?"
"Human language!"
Chu Fang cut to the chase: "I'm afraid Ji Fang is not only your work secretary, but also your bed secretary, isn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Di paused for less than a second, then downed the water in his glass and sat down opposite him without saying a word.
"Speak up, are you mute?" Chu Fang raised his voice a few decibels. "You have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it, huh?"
"How can you face He Yi at home? How can you face Wu Yan? How can you face your parents-in-law? How can you face the vows you made when you got married?"
"When you got married, you said that if you cheated, you would be struck by lightning. God is blind, why didn't He strike you dead, you bastard?"
The office was so quiet you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
Wu Di remained silent for at least half a minute, then gradually exhaled and said, "I'm sorry."
"You're going to apologize to me? Are you crazy?"
“What I want to say is that I didn’t sleep with Ji Fang,” Wu Di said. “I’m sorry to He Yi, I admit it, but it’s not something I can control.”
"Can't you control your lower body?" Chu Fang's face showed anger. "Since you can't control your big head, then just cut off your little head!"
"It's not actually desire."
What is that?
“It’s the norm.” Wu Di covered his head with his hands. “Normal work, normal life, normal sex, normal meals, normal He Yi.”
“From the moment I stepped into the elevator home, I knew what He Yi was doing. She was wearing long pants, a t-shirt with a string of English words in the middle, slippers, her hair down, and a floral apron. She was cooking in the kitchen.”
"I made a potato and cured pork rice dish. The potatoes were very small and round, the cured pork was a bit salty, and there was a layer of burnt rice crust at the bottom of the rice dish."
"She also needs to cook a few dishes: a vegetable dish, a soup, and a meat dish..."
“I could predict all of these things, and I was 100% right.”
"At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but as time went by, I suddenly realized that I felt really uncomfortable with these days that seemed to have no end in sight."
“I tried to change things and do something fun to fill the routine, but I couldn’t. I can only keep these things in my heart and let them be.”
After saying this, Chu Fang opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
He checked Wu Di's daily life and found that he had never booked a hotel room with anyone or had any history of casual sex. His daily routine consisted of going to and from get off work and taking Wu Yan out on holidays.
The only time I can be alone is before going home each night. I stay in the car for a long, long time until it's late at night before slowly heading home.
Chu Fang kicked the table in anger: "You!"
He understood why Wu Di was like this; it was the so-called "seven-year itch" in marriage. After being together for a long time, life becomes very bland and tasteless.
This matter has nothing to do with desire, but merely the loneliness of the soul. The former is just a fleeting thought; once the thought is over, one will realize that one's own wife is more suitable for oneself, which is the nature of many men.
The latter is a perplexing situation that seems impossible to resolve, and there appears to be no way to help Wu Di solve it.
Wu Di held his head and said, "I'm sorry to He Yi. I broke the promise we made to each other."
Chu Fang didn't know what to do either.
It's easy for two people to fall in love; all it takes is a spark, money, or even a little bit of physical attraction. But to stay together for a long time—one year, five years, ten years, or even fifty years—is extremely difficult.
Chu Fang put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'm leaving."
“Don’t tell He Yi.” Wu Di looked up. “If we break up, this family will be over. Our parents will be heartbroken, and the children will find it hard to accept.”
Chu Fang turned around and asked, "You've considered everyone, but have you considered He Yi? Is that fair?"
"I will not cheat on you or sleep with any girl."
“But you no longer love He Yi, and she has the right to know that.”
After saying that, Chu Fang left, leaving Wu Di holding his head in his hands, silent.
... ...
As Chu Fang left the office, many of the company's employees and subordinates averted their gazes.
They had just heard a commotion coming from the office. Although they couldn't make out what was going on, they knew that something serious was happening.
Only after Chu Fang left did the company's many employees finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What do you think President Chu and President Wu are arguing about?"
How would we know?
"These two can argue all they want, but please don't let this hurt your friendship, otherwise we'll feel bad too."
"What's it to us?"
"that is."
"You guys are too narrow-minded. Who is President Chu? He's a big shot. What if he falls out with President Wu and tries to destroy our company? If he does, our company will collapse and we'll lose everything, and we'll lose our jobs."
"That makes sense. It's so hard to find a job these days."
"We're on the first floor, and you're already on the fifth floor. Impressive!"
... ...
As Chu Fang stepped out of the high-rise building, he couldn't help but curse repeatedly, "Damn it!"
He wasn't cursing Wu Di, nor He Yi, nor anyone in particular; he was simply cursing.
It's like cursing your mother online; you're not really cursing her, the mother in question isn't the real mother, it's just a negative attitude.
That's just how he is.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, which is precisely why it is even more difficult to accept.
... ...
As the sun sets, Zhong Tingyue leisurely returns home.
As soon as she parked the car, Chu Jin opened the door and bowed slightly: "Princess, please get out of the car."
Zhong Tingyue said, "Chu Jin, what do you want to do?"
She knew her daughter well; anyone who was overly attentive without a reason was either up to no good or had ulterior motives.
"Mom, hehe..." Chu Jin smiled, "I've got my eye on a doll, can you buy it for me?"
"How much?"
"150,000."
Zhong Tingyue turned and left, saying, "We're not familiar with each other."
If a doll costs 150,000, what's the difference between that and blatant robbery?
Zhong Tingyue entered the villa but did not see Chu Fang. She asked the aunt, who said that Chu Fang was in the vegetable garden.
She went upstairs to change into casual clothes, then went to the vegetable garden, where she saw her husband squatting on the ground, pulling the hose to water the plants, and the water had already submerged the seeds.
"Mr. Chu, you're going to die from this seed."
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang snapped out of his daze and quickly turned off the water pipe.
"Mr. Chu, what are you thinking about?"
"The feasibility and inevitability of infidelity."
Zhong Tingyue: "???"
