Three weeks after our wedding.
Fu Qichuan paid a high price for the necklace I had liked for a long time.
Everyone said that he loved me terribly.
I was happily preparing a candlelight dinner, but then I received a video.
In the video, he personally put the necklace on another girl and said, "Congratulations on your new life."
Now, this day is more than just our wedding anniversary.
It was also the day when his white moonlight filed for divorce.
——
I never thought that this would happen to me.
Although this marriage with Fu Qichuan was not the product of free love.
In public, he has always been an image of a man who dotes on his wife.
I sat at the dining table, looking at the steak that had turned cold and the entry that was still on the hot search: Fu Qichuan spent millions just to please his wife.
All of this is a silent mockery.
At two o'clock in the morning, the black Maybach finally drove into the yard.
Through the floor-to-ceiling window, you can see a man getting out of the car. He is wearing a dark, custom-made suit, with a tall figure and a noble and elegant appearance.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Fu Qichuan turned on the light and was a little surprised to see me sitting in the restaurant.
I tried to stand up, but my legs went numb and I fell back onto the chair. "Wait for you."
"Missed me?"
He smiled nonchalantly, walked over to pour some water, and was a little surprised to see the moving dinner on the table.
He was willing to pretend, so I suppressed my emotions, held out my hand to him, and curled my lips, "Happy three weeks. Where's my gift?"
"Sorry, I was too busy today and forgot to prepare it."
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the next day was their wedding anniversary.
He reached out to rub my head, but I subconsciously dodged.
I don't know what his hand touched last night, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
He was slightly stunned.
I seemed to be awakened and looked at him with a smile: "You still want to lie to me? You clearly took a picture of my favorite necklace, it's all on the trending search! Give it to me now."
"Nanzhi..."
Fu Qichuan slowly withdrew his hand, his face calm, and his voice light: "I took the necklace for He Ting."
…
As the saying goes on the Internet, brothers are always the best shield.
I could barely hold onto the smile on my face. "Really?"
"Well, you know, he has a lot of rotten peaches."
There was no flaw in Fu Qichuan's tone and expression.
I looked at his flawless body under the light and suddenly felt that I might never really understand this man.
I even started to review it, wondering if this was really the first time he lied to me.
Or maybe I trusted him too much in the past.
If I hadn't received that anonymous video, I wouldn't have doubted his explanation at all.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he patiently coaxed me in a gentle voice, "I shouldn't have forgotten such an important day. I will definitely make up for it by giving you a gift tomorrow."
"I just want the necklace."
I still want to give him a chance.
Because of the angle in the video, I couldn’t see the woman’s face.
Perhaps, it must be some shameful relationship.
Fu Qichuan hesitated a bit, and I looked at him in confusion. "Isn't it okay to let He Ting put aside his rotten peaches for a brother like you? It should be okay, right?"
He was silent for a moment, then seeing that I was determined, he could only speak: "I'll ask him tomorrow. It's not good to force someone to love you."
Should I ask "him" or "her"?
I couldn't press the issue, "Okay."
"You've been waiting for me hungry?"
Fu Qichuan began to clear the table. His fingers, with distinct knuckles, looked very beautiful on the white porcelain tableware.
I nodded. "Yeah, it's an anniversary."
When I stood up and wanted to clean up with him, he held me down and said in a gentle voice, "Just sit down and wait for your husband to cook noodles for you."
"oh."
Seeing him like this, the doubts in my heart faded a little.
Can a cheating man really be so frank and considerate?
It's strange that Fu Qichuan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he is a good cook and can cook quickly and deliciously.
However, he rarely cooks on weekdays.
After about ten minutes, a bowl of tempting tomato and egg noodles was served.
“It’s delicious!”
I took a bite and praised him generously, "Who did you learn cooking from? It's even better than the ones in restaurants out there."
He looked dazed, as if lost in some memory. After about half a minute, he said calmly, "Those two people who studied abroad, in order to fill their Chinese stomachs, had to learn how to cook."
I just asked casually and didn't think much about it.
It was already past three o'clock when I went upstairs, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.
Behind me, the man's hot body pressed against me, his chin resting on my neck, rubbing gently.
"Do you want to?"
His voice seemed to be polished with sandpaper, and his breath sprayed on my skin, causing tremors.
Before I could answer, he leaned over and put his hand under the hem of my silk nightgown.
He has always been strong in bed and I can't resist him.
But this time, I had to refuse, "Hubby, God is not willing to..."
The sound has become like the body, soft as a puddle of water.
"Um?"
Fu Qichuan kissed my neck gently, reached down, and said something that made me blush: "Everyone here welcomes me so much, why don't you welcome me?"
"I, I have a stomachache every day."
Hearing this, he finally stopped, gently kissed my earlobe, and hugged me in his arms, "I forgot, your period is coming soon, have a good rest."
My heartstrings, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. I turned sideways and stared at him without blinking. "My period was at the beginning of the month, and it's long gone."
"Yeah."
He looked calm and asked himself, "I remembered it wrongly. Is the pain serious? Otherwise, let Aunt Liu accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."
"I've been there this morning."
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said..."
I lowered my eyelashes and hesitated for a moment.
The doctor said that I was six weeks pregnant and the stomach pain was a sign of threatened miscarriage. I should take some medicine to supplement progesterone first and then have the fetal heart rate checked in half a month.
Finding out you're pregnant on your wedding anniversary is undoubtedly the best gift ever.
I put the pregnancy test report in a small glass jar and hid it in the middle of the cake I made, hoping to give Fu Qichuan a surprise during the candlelight dinner.
But until now, the cake is still in the refrigerator.
No one cares.
"It's nothing, maybe I've been drinking too many cold drinks lately." I chose to hide it for the time being.
If the necklace can be returned tomorrow, everyone will be happy.
If not, our marriage would be difficult to sustain with a third person in the middle. Telling him about the child's existence would also lose its meaning.
I tossed and turned in bed that night.
I'm afraid no woman can calmly accept the fact that "her husband may be cheating on her."
Unexpectedly, the matter that I was worried about soon had a follow-up.
The next day, when Fu Qichuan was still washing up, someone knocked on the door.
I had just changed my clothes and opened the door when Aunt Liu pointed downstairs and said, "Madam, Miss Jin'an is here. She said she's here to return something."
Fu Jinan is the daughter of Fu Qichuan's stepmother, a half-brother and half-brother, two years older than him. In a sense, she is also considered a young lady of the Fu family.
Aunt Liu was arranged by the Fu family to take care of us, and we habitually call her "Miss Jin'an".
I was a little puzzled. On weekdays, Fu Jinan and I didn't have much contact except when we met at the old house for family dinners, let alone borrowing things.
"Returning the things?"
"Yes, it's in a very delicate jewelry box. It should be jewelry or something like that." Aunt Liu replied.
