A week before my birthday, I checked my wife's Taobao account, and there was a pair of men's trousers from Valentino in her shopping cart.
Since my birthday was approaching, I wondered if this might be a surprise from her.
After all, Valentino is not something one casually buys for just any occasion.
On my birthday, I simply had a bowl of longevity noodles and worked overtime until eleven at night. When I returned home, I did not see the trousers.
My wife Ning Qian had already cleared her Taobao shopping cart, and the trousers had arrived three days prior.
It wasn't until a week after my birthday that I saw the Valentino trousers being worn by a student who was ten years younger than Ning Qian.
The student's name was Zhang Xu. Years ago, he was aimlessly drifting through life, but recently he enrolled in a correspondence program at a distance learning university and joined my wife Ning Qian's class. He often appeared indifferent, but for someone like Ning Qian, who was nearing the seven-year itch in her marriage, the freshness of a young man like Zhang Xu held a deadly allure.
While pursuing his diploma, Zhang Xu started a foreign trade company, earning in a month what Ning Qian made in an entire year.
But I knew that Zhang Xu's company was merely a shell company and wasn't making any real profit.
Ning Qian couldn't see through it; she would seek out Zhang Xu every day after class.
She even disregarded my objections and invested in Zhang Xu's company.
Ning Qian originally looked youthful and vibrant, resembling a college student.
Being with Zhang Xu made her feel rejuvenated, as if she had shed many years, running along the path of excitement every day.
Her chat history with Zhang Xu on WeChat in just one day equaled the number of conversations we had over an entire year.
But none of this explains why she gave my birthday gift to Zhang Xu.
I drove to Zhang Xu's company, but neither he nor Ning Qian was there.
I sat in the security room and handed a cigarette to President Bao, the security guard brought over by Ning Qian, whom I had met a few times.
He thought about going to my company.
As we both smoked, I squinted at the security rules on the wall. "Bao Ge, Zhang Xu's new pants are quite unique, pairing jeans with dress pants!"
President Bao laughed heartily. "Those were a gift from Ning Jie! He told her she's too stingy, not even giving gifts to her partner! President Wang, you should talk to Ning Jie; those pants can be given away casually!"
Indeed, at Zhang Xu's company, everyone knew about their relationship.
But I couldn't lose my temper just yet. President Bao looked at me meaningfully, as if he had made a decision amidst the pleasant aroma of tobacco.
"President Wang, Zhang Xu's company is almost unable to pay salaries. Do you think I could come work for you?"
I raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. "What did Zhang Xu say after receiving my wife's gift?"
President Bao paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. "Zhang Xu said he would wear Ning Jie's gift every day; he wishes Ning Jie really had feelings for him!"
After leaving the security room of the foreign trade company, I ran into Ning Qian. She was holding flowers and was chatting happily with Zhang Xu as they approached.
She looked surprised for a moment when she saw me and then casually said, "A student sent these!"
My gaze lingered meaningfully on Zhang Xu before I subtly looked away.
Zhang Xu invited me to celebrate the company's 100-day anniversary with their staff.
Without exception, we went to the bar.
In the private room, Ning Qian sat next to Zhang Xu, while I sat opposite them.
I raised an eyebrow at the two of them, and Zhang Xu called over a recent graduate from his company to keep me company.
Ning Qian watched as the girl sat beside me, respectfully toasting me. She smiled and left early.
However, Zhang Xu didn't want to let me go so soon; he kept pouring drinks for me with the young woman from his company.
In the end, everyone was drunk, but I remained quite sober.
I heard Zhang Xu make a phone call, and soon after, the recently graduated girl and I were sent to a hotel on the second floor.
The room was dimly lit, and for a moment, I squinted my eyes.
A hand reached for the first button of my collar,
and a pair of clear eyes suddenly opened wide.
Seeing that I was awake, a flash of panic crossed the other person's eyes.
My deep gaze was like a silent ocean, ready to swallow the other person whole.
"Is all of this what Zhang Xu instructed you to do?"
The woman who had been kneeling beside me hurriedly stood up. "President Wang, I see that you're not feeling well!"
"Hah! If I'm not feeling well, why are you taking off that girl's clothes?" I glared fiercely, grabbing her clothing. "Tell me! What exactly do Zhang Xu and Ning Qian want to do?"
I had someone send the intoxicated college girl back home.
Sitting quietly on the sofa in the hotel room,
only one lamp was on, casting a dim light that created my silhouette.
Thoughts kept swirling in my mind about what that person had just told me, and my head throbbed even more. “Zhang Xu's company is about to go bankrupt; the funding chain had issues last month. Now Zhang Xu has begged Sister Ning Qian, and they both want to pin the blame on you, leaving you with nothing! They want to use your company's money to save their company!”
I had been in a relationship with Ning Qian for six months, married for seven years, and our daughter is already six. Now she is willing to ruin our marriage for a scumbag.
To her, I am just a replaceable ATM. I provided her with a comfortable life, but she is not satisfied with that.
Regarding tonight's setup, if I act rashly, I won't be able to ensure that Ning Qian walks away empty-handed. What if I just accept her being with another woman?
My deep-set eyes flickered as I dialed my childhood friend's number.
My current company was co-founded with my childhood friend, and Ning Qian's hands reaching into our business are an attempt to swallow it whole. I won’t let them succeed.
My friend and I stayed up all night planning our countermeasures.
Now we just wait for Ning Qian and Zhang Xu to take the bait.
