After holding back for a month, I felt a desperate craving.
Li Tong lay on the bed, playing with her phone. The silk nightgown hugged her fair skin, accentuating her voluptuous figure. Five years into our marriage, she remained irresistibly alluring.
I searched around and finally found the box of condoms. A sudden impulse struck me. I pinned her down and began to remove her nightgown, but she pushed against me with her hand.
"It's too late; I'm so tired. I have to get up early tomorrow," she said.
"But I'm back now, right? I'll drive you in the morning," I replied.
"No, let's wait a few days," she insisted.
I ignored her protests and pulled off her top, starting to tug at her panties. Perhaps my movements were too rough; she kicked me hard.
"Are you annoying? I told you I don't want to!"
My teeth clenched in frustration, but I held back my anger, dressed myself, and walked over to the window to smoke.
Realizing she might have gone too far, Li Tong rubbed her thigh and said in a playful tone, "You hurt me."
There was no doubt that her thoughts were no longer on me. I took the ashtray to the balcony and began to plan a reluctant course of action.
I didn't bother turning on the lights; I sat quietly on the living room sofa, smoking. The thought of the condoms weighed heavily on my mind.
Li Tong had already fallen asleep. Exhausted, I lay down on the sofa but tossed and turned, unable to sleep. My gaze fixated on the 57 yuan credit card bill displayed on my phone screen.
The payment details showed that I had made a purchase at a supermarket called “Meilejia.”
Once I confirmed that Li Tong was asleep, I went downstairs to the community. I dialed the supermarket's phone number.
“Hello, on October 21st, I bought a box of Condom from you, and there’s an issue with it.”
“What’s the problem? If it’s not a quality issue, we won’t handle it here,” the staff replied coldly.
“The condom was already broken when I opened it.”
“Please provide the order number.”
I had forgotten; my wife had purchased it through Meituan, using my Credit Card for payment.
“I can give you the buyer’s phone number; it’s 1397927…”
“Sorry, we cannot find any purchase record for that phone number on October 21st.”
“Can you check who made the purchase? I have the address; we live at Blue Lake Community Building A, Apartment 501.”
“Sir, please provide the order number. Without it, we cannot easily disclose customer privacy.”
Before I could respond, the staff hung up.
Did she use another man’s phone number instead of mine? The thought made my scalp tingle. The more I thought about it, the more I needed to keep my composure.
I returned to the bedroom, turned away from my wife, and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to fall asleep.
Suddenly, my wife’s phone rang. At the same time, the screen lit up.
“Tong Tong, love you!” A message popped up and quickly disappeared from the screen.
Who was it? I sat up abruptly, blood rushing to my head.
She unlocked her phone with her fingerprint.
A WeChat user named Galo had a profile picture of a bicep.
He was pinned at the top of her contacts, while my WeChat was listed below him.
My first thought was that he must be a gym instructor.
As I continued to scroll online, my breathing became increasingly erratic; Li Tong had been transferring money to this man!
Looking through the recent chat history, there were over a dozen transactions, large and small.
The amounts ranged from five thousand to ten thousand.
In total, it added up to no less than a hundred thousand this month.
If she really had an affair with this man, then she was secretly being supported by him!
No wonder she spent money so quickly!
Was she using this man's phone when she bought that set?
I clicked on his WeChat profile, but there was no phone number listed.
Flipping through Li Tong's contact list, one number labeled "Key Client" caught my attention.
