Chapter 28: No love.
In the comfort of her bedroom that night, Mei Mei thought about the events of the last two days, from when she set out to the airport to welcome back her husband to when she finally punched him. She thought about the money in her hands now, the system and Jingzhe’s chest.
She shook her head and slapped her cheek lightly. "I am crazy, what am I thinking about? Jun Meilin, you cannot go there, brother-in-law, he is your brother-in-law. No matter how much you dislike your husband and haven’t been intimate with him in..." She stopped mumbling and recalled the time Mo Liang had showed any attraction towards her. It had been close to seven years.
After she gave birth to Mingzhu, he never came close to her, they even slept in separate bedrooms. She raised her left hand and count the number of times they had been intimate, it was four. It was not even enough for a high five.
"It turns out that I am the one that has been living like a widow all these years." she whispered to herself. "Why in the world was I still married to him all this while?"
"Why did you marry him in the first place?" C4 asked her. "Was it really love?"
On the system’s virtual screen a questionnaire appeared, it was titled self reflective questions to help you explore your feelings.
"I will read the questions and you will answer with a yes or no." C4 informed her. "Question one, does his smile light up your world?"
"Hell no." Mei Mei answered strongly. "It makes me want to pick up a razor and turn it into a clown smile permanently."
A big X appeared beside the question and C4 moved to the next one. "Do you think about him frequently?"
