Chapter 33

But, what does this have to do with Wenfeng Road?

Why does he always go to brothels when he's in a bad mood? Cai Jin's condition is really bizarre...

Men, after all, should indulge in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, at least one or two of these, otherwise they don't seem like real men, right?

That night, Cai Jin finally fulfilled his college dream, and Liu Hao felt a great burden lifted, just like back then.

He stood guard at the door until Cai Jin came out again.

There was no choice; it was a strict crackdown, and he had to act as a temporary bodyguard.

He had to keep watch at the door to alert Cai Jin in case the police suddenly came to check, so he could call and warn him immediately.

However, he didn't dare to stand openly at the door; he had to hide by the roadside, in case he ran into someone he knew, which would be awkward.

Two old men engaging in such a dirty affair was truly speechless.

It went on until two in the morning... Liu Hao hadn't stayed out so late since he got married.

He returned home with a tired face.

Surprisingly, his wife was still awake?

The living room was brightly lit, but the TV had no programs, just static.

Zhang Yu was lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket, her eyes open but lifeless.

Hmm... What's up? Liu Hao quietly took off his leather shoes and softly called out, "Wife, why haven't you slept yet? Are you too engrossed in a TV drama? You've watched the finale of 'My Love from the Star' almost ten times, and you still want to cry?"

Usually, if Zhang Yu didn't sleep, it was because she was watching Korean dramas, and her mood would fluctuate with the drama, but today it was clearly different; there were no programs on TV.

Zhang Yu ignored him, her eyes fixed on the coffee table...

On the coffee table were about a dozen long, fine hairs, neatly arranged. Clearly, this was done intentionally.

Does my wife have a fetish for hair?

Liu Hao sat down and pulled the blanket up for her.

It was still a bit cold in early March.

"Wife, what kind of rare animal's hair is this? You actually keep it as a treasure?"

It definitely wasn't Zhang Yu's, as her hair wasn't that long. She remained motionless, treating Liu Hao as if he were air.

"Are you trying to curse someone... Don't people in TV shows secretly take someone else's hair to curse them?" Liu Hao suddenly felt a chill and became anxious.

Did some colleague upset her?

"You mention it, and I remember... sigh..." Zhang Yu finally spoke, letting out a long sigh.

Liu Hao's eyes darted around, trying to figure out what Zhang Yu meant, and it seemed to be related to him.

But, he hadn't been involved with any women, so where did these hairs come from...

"Oh... Who upset Little Yu?"

"Two days ago, I went to the market to buy groceries and ran into a female colleague from your workplace." Zhang Yu sat up weakly and slowly said.

"What? Did one of my female colleagues bully you?" Liu Hao quickly asked with concern.

"Your female colleague said she saw you hugging a woman on the balcony at work."

"Hugging?!" Damn! When did I hug any other woman?! "I... I didn't! I just shook hands with her!"

Just being pulled to the balcony by Lai Yuxin, how did it become hugging on the balcony?

That damn Zhang Yuanyun! No need to guess, this so-called female colleague must be the big-mouthed Zhang Yuanyun. Who else would know his wife and spread the story like this?

If even Zhang Yu knew, it seemed everyone at the office would think the same tomorrow... Thinking of this, Liu Hao rolled his eyes, feeling extremely depressed.

"Hey! The woman who pulled me out was Cai Jin's girlfriend! Stupid Cai secretly came to Qinzhou to find me. That woman, oh, right, her name is Lai Yuxin... She couldn't find Cai Jin, so she had to contact me. I told her Cai Jin was in Yinzhou, and she came to me, asking me to find Cai Jin... That's the whole story!"

Damn, my lying skills are getting better and better, reaching a new peak! Liu Hao quickly made up another benevolent lie.

Anyway, he couldn't reveal Lai Yuxin's true identity; revealing her would be the same as revealing Liu Xiaopang's identity.

"Sigh, you don't know how hard their lives are. Their parents are sworn enemies, and the story goes back three years..." Liu Hao continued to make up stories, speaking with great enthusiasm.

True or false, false or true. He spoke with such passion and vividness.

Zhang Yu, who was already a fan of Korean dramas, where the plots always make women cry, found Liu Hao's story equally moving. Soon, she forgot the real reason for waiting up so late for him.

This story was true, just with a different heroine... Liu Hao comforted himself.

"Sigh, wife, look how happy we are, but they are so miserable..." With a sympathetic sigh, Liu Hao also hugged Zhang Yu, his hands not quite behaving.

"These past two days, you've been so busy. You're pregnant, yet you stay up so late, which isn't good for you or the baby. Look, the little guy has grown a bit..."

Hehe, I'm pretty good at comforting my wife, Liu Hao thought smugly.

But he didn't expect Zhang Yu to have more to say.

"But, this doesn't explain the hair! If, as you say, you didn't hug Cai Jin's girlfriend, then you must have hugged someone else, because these hairs were taken from your coat!" Zhang Yu wasn't really stupid; she was very clear-headed! Otherwise, how could she be a math teacher with strong logical thinking?

Hmm... Liu Hao was stunned for half a second.

"Sigh, you just don't understand how good your husband is! After so many years, you still don't know how considerate I am. Last Friday, the wind was so strong. In such cold weather, could I let a woman who traveled a thousand miles to find her husband stand in the cold in just a shirt? As a gentle and considerate man, shouldn't I offer her some warmth? Should I lend her my coat to keep her warm? If I were so cold-hearted, would you have married me? Wife, you can't treat your upright and kind husband like an unsolved math problem..."

... Zhang Yu was speechless, "You're so talkative! Humph!"

"Hehe, wife, Women's Day is coming soon. Do you want a lifetime unforgettable gift?" Seeing that Zhang Yu believed him, Liu Hao quickly seized the opportunity.

"What kind of lifetime unforgettable gift? As long as you don't bring home women's hair every day, I'll be content..." Zhang Yu finally regained her spirit, sweeping the hair off the coffee table and throwing it in the trash.

She knew Liu Hao's behavior all too well.

Although she didn't really believe her husband would have affairs outside, the suspicion always existed...

"Whatever, I'm not that kind of man. If I were to, I'd only do it with my wife," Liu Hao's right hand gently stroked her head and then pulled her into his embrace.

"Last time in Guiyang, Cai Jin took me to a charity event. You know, rich people's charity events are usually very fancy, maybe even the toilet seats are made of gold... During the event, we participated in a lottery. Cai Jin let me draw, and I did."

At this point, Liu Hao deliberately paused, "Guess what happened?"

"What happened?"

"I drew a barcode, number 007."

"Then what?"

"Nothing else..."

"Boring! Go to sleep!" She thought Liu Hao had really won a big prize! Pushing away Liu Hao's "magic hands," Zhang Yu stood up and prepared to go to bed.

"Wait, I haven't finished. How come you still haven't passed the driving test? You should get your driver's license..."

Watching Zhang Yu walk away, Liu Hao smiled slyly...

※※※※

The next day, Liu Hao sent his son to school early and then went to work.

Zhang Yu, being a teacher, didn't have to work a fixed schedule and had no classes in the morning, so she woke up very late.

Sitting in front of the vanity, she yawned continuously...

When she opened her makeup box, her eyes lit up.

Four shiny circles.

Not five circles, which would be the Olympics, but four circles? Zhang Yu quickly counted on her fingers...

Even a math teacher needs to count on her fingers sometimes!

Four circles are Audi?!

...

This guy actually gave her an Audi commemorative watch? She was overjoyed and couldn't wait to put it on her left wrist.

But why was there a key?

(There will be only one chapter tonight, and I'll make up for it tomorrow. My 4-year-old son is too noisy, and my brother-in-law is looking for me. I'm busy, sorry.)
