"Do you even know how to answer the phone?"
On the other end, Sun Yu's voice carried a hint of impatience.
"Where have you been these past few days? Huh? You don’t answer calls or reply to messages!"
"What? Have you played enough and decided to come back? I thought you were planning to run away from home and never return!"
"Aren't you supposed to be capable? So now you're scared and obediently coming back?"
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger boiling inside me.
"I..."
"I just went out with my best friend for a few days."
"Sun Yu, I'm tired. Let's talk about this when I get home."
After hanging up, I gazed out the window, feeling a chill in my heart.
At the airport exit, Sun Yu's car was already parked there.
He leaned against the car door, a cigarette clutched between his fingers, looking quite impatient.
When he saw me come out, he tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it underfoot.
"I thought you had some backbone, but here you are, slinking back like this?"
"I'm telling you, Lin Wan'er, stop sulking over what happened last time."
"Han Xue is hurt; can't you be a little more magnanimous?"
"She’s my sister who grew up with me. What do you expect me to do?"
"Can you stop being so unreasonable and just sulk all day long?"
"And don't forget, the specialist appointment is scheduled for three days from now. You better be on time!"
I opened the door to the passenger seat.
A strange fragrance wafted over, causing me to frown instinctively.
This scent was not from my usual perfume.
I said nothing and walked straight to the back seat, opening the door and sitting down.
Sun Yu was taken aback for a moment.
"What are you doing sitting in the back?"
I glanced at him coolly.
"What? Can't I sit in the back?"
When we had just gotten married, I would always claim the passenger seat first whenever we went out, proudly declaring, "This is my special seat."
Back then, Sun Yu would always smile indulgently and say I was adorably silly.
But now?
The passenger seat bore the traces of another woman.
I recalled that scene from two months ago.
That day, I had gotten off work early and wanted to surprise Sun Yu.
As I walked into the garage, I saw him with a woman in the car...
That woman was his childhood friend, Han Xue.
When I saw her, I froze, standing motionless in place.
Sun Yu's voice broke through my thoughts once again.
"Lin Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting in the back? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
"Before, when I asked you to sit in the back, you acted like it was the end of the world. Now that I want you to sit in the front, you're still unhappy!"
I snapped back to reality and looked at him.
"I used to be too immature."
"Now I feel like it doesn't matter where I sit."
When we got home, Sun Yu casually tossed a lipstick at me.
"This is yours, right? It fell in the car."
I caught the lipstick and glanced at it.
This wasn't mine.
It belonged to that woman.
"It's not mine," I said flatly.
Sun Yu's expression changed, and his eyes showed a hint of panic.
"How is that possible? That's Han Xue's. She was in my car that day; she must have dropped it by accident."
"Don't overthink it. I'll talk to her later."
I watched his clumsy performance, a cold laugh rising in my heart.
Yes, how could I overthink it?
I had long known that there was something unclear between you and that woman.
"It won't happen."
I threw the lipstick back at him.
Grabbing my suitcase, I looked at his tall figure and suddenly remembered how, before we got married, he would always insist on carrying my luggage whenever we went out together.
Whether it was for a business trip or a vacation, he would rush to take my suitcase, afraid that I would tire myself out.
But now, he acted like a stranger, completely ignoring my exhaustion.
