In the third year after our wedding, I suddenly forgave my chronically unfaithful husband.
I quit my job and turned into a housemaid, diligently serving him and the other woman without complaint.
The divorce agreement that I had worked so hard to negotiate, I tore it to pieces right in front of him.
Everyone thought I had gone mad, but they didn't know that my husband had a terminal illness, with at most only two months left to live.
As soon as he dies, I can inherit his billion-dollar fortune and sail around the world on a luxury yacht with a young man.
With only three days left, I had even paid the deposit for the yacht, but then I discovered there was an additional page behind the diagnosis report.
My head spun as I read the words on it.
It turns out the terminal illness wasn't his, it was mine!
Returning from outside, as I opened the door, I was met with used condoms scattered all over the floor.
The bedroom door was wide open, with the sounds of lovemaking emanating occasionally.
"Brother Cheng, you're amazing, I really like…"
The woman's coy voice trembled slightly, satisfied but with a hint of nervousness: "This is the first time you've brought me home for this, there seemed to be a sound at the door just now, could your wife have come back? She's famous for being a tigress, I'm afraid she'll come to hit me."
Lu Jingcheng sneered indifferently, lazily saying: "Would she dare? An Xin is madly in love with me now, not to mention turning a blind eye, at my command, she'd even happily crawl over to be our human stool."
The two laughed together, and it wasn't long before the bed started shaking again.
Meanwhile, as if I hadn't heard a thing, I meticulously cleaned up the living room and carried the groceries I'd bought into the kitchen.
By the time they were finished, the marble dining table was already covered with four dishes and a soup, all meant to boost vitality and strength.
Liu Feifei emerged wrapped in my silk robe, and upon seeing me, deliberately spoke in a sweet tone.
"Thanks for preparing all this food, sister-in-law, I wanted to help you in the kitchen, but it was all Brother Cheng's fault keeping me busy, my waist is almost breaking…"
Liu Feifei, Lu Jingcheng's childhood sweetheart, had been secretly involved with him for a while, but knowing I couldn't tolerate such a thing, they never dared to make it public.
Now that they've heard I don't mind Lu Jingcheng's infidelity, perhaps Liu Feifei wanted to test if I could truly endure it, so she hung limply from Lu Jingcheng's neck and gave him a long, tangled French kiss right in front of me.
In response, not only did I not get angry, I specifically served Liu Feifei a large bowl of pork belly chicken soup, along with several pieces of kidney.
"You've worked hard taking care of Jingcheng, you should eat more for strength."
"Let me know what you like to eat, and I'll make it for you two tonight."
Putting down my chopsticks, I pulled a paper bag from under the table and handed it over: "This is what Jingcheng asked me to buy this morning, all pineapple-flavored with spiral massage beads, he said it's your favorite, I went through four supermarkets to find them."
Seeing the bag overflowing with condoms, Liu Feifei's expression was quite a sight, whispering something into Lu Jingcheng's ear.
Lu Jingcheng laughed heartily, giving her a firm squeeze on the waist, then turned and spat at me.
"I'm in a good mood today, so those who are an eyesore shouldn't sit at the table, go away."
I felt no anger, calmly wiped my face clean, then stood up and left the dining room.
"A famous socialite from Sea City, yet reduced to such degradation, Brother Cheng, your skills in training a dog are unmatched."
Liu Feifei's malicious taunt echoed from behind as I smiled and spoke.
"I've come to understand, darling, a man as outstanding as you having an affair is quite normal, I was just too naive before."
With those words, I returned to my small room on the second floor and locked the door.
Looking at the eleven tally marks already carved into the corner of the wall, I used the knife to carve another stroke into the blank space beside them.
Four days to go!
In four days, Lu Jingcheng's time will be up!
Then everything will be over!
