Chapter 18: Sleeping in Different Rooms

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Nothing much. Since you insist on working with that woman, from now on, you shouldn’t sleep here either,” my wife quipped with a stiff expression.

I looked at her and immediately understood what was going on.

She also knew that it was already too late to change anything.

Hence, she used this incident to express her dissatisfaction.

Moreover, she could avoid me and I wouldn’t be able to affect her pregnancy!

She had killed two birds with one stone!

“What are you looking at me for? Get out!” My wife glared at me.

I struggled to suppress my emotions. After a long time, I forced a smile.

“Then rest well. I’ll sleep with my son.” With that, I turned and stormed out.

However, the moment I stepped out, I wasn’t unhappy at all. Instead, I felt relieved.

She had no idea that when I looked at her face and voluptuous figure now, I no longer felt the way I did in the past!

Thinking of how many times that bald adulterer had slept with her, I felt disgusted!

Previously, because of my anger and impulse, I only wanted revenge and so, I forced myself on her a few times.

But now that I have calmed down, my feelings for her had changed.

I was no longer a hot-blooded young man.

I no longer lust after her beauty and body and let my desire eclipse everything. Even the humiliation of being cuckolded was suppressed!

Right now, I only had one thought.

That was to do my best to seek revenge on this adulterous pair!

Now that she had forced me to sleep in separate rooms, that was also good. I didn’t have to face the face I loathed every day or to suppress the urge to tear her to pieces!

Late that night, after Qiqi had fallen asleep, I checked her phone calls again. There were a few more useful ones.

I listened to the recordings. After listening to them, I almost wanted to rush to the master bedroom and strangle her to death!

So it wasn’t her idea to force me to sleep in another room!

It was the bald assh*le’s idea!

Moreover, on the phone, he had clearly instructed her not to let me touch her again.

And my wife immediately obeyed him!

How ironic.

I, the legitimate husband, was actually robbed of my right to sleep with my wife by an adulterer!

I was afraid I would wake my son, so I got out of bed and stood by the window. I opened the window and let the gentle breeze wash over my rage slowly.

Looking at the ground far below, a thought rose unconsciously.

Was my life the only one that was so pathetic, or has anyone else ever suffered like this?

I knew that I wasn’t a good person, but I had never done anything evil. Why did God want me to experience all of this?!

I gritted my teeth so hard as I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from screaming.

My hands that were grabbing the window sill made creaking sounds due to the sheer force of my grip!

This was the 14th floor.

If I jumped right now, I could end everything right now and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore!

But I, Zhang Teng, had never been a cowardly person!

I swore to return all the humiliation they gave me a hundredfold!

The next night, Wang Zhongtian brought me a set of equipment as promised.

When I asked how much it cost, he said that he had borrowed it from a friend and that he didn’t need any payment.

I was grateful but I didn’t elaborate. I just patted his shoulder.

Anything said between friends at this time was unnecessary.

After reading the manual carefully, I didn’t go home. Instead, I brought the equipment to the Splendid Sun building.

During the past two days at the office, Xu Xiaomei didn’t arrange any important tasks for me.

Every day, I would familiarize myself with the company’s operations and finish some administrative work.

Actually, Xu Xiaomei already had a secretary, to begin with. She was a woman in her thirties. Her name was He Caixin, and she was smart and capable. She was her most trusted aide.

So basically, she was in charge of everything important.

However, in my opinion, she was just more scheming and knew how to curry favor the right way.

But Xu Xiaomei completely approved of her, saying that she was a wonderful subordinate!

I suspected that the reason why Xu Xiaomei was so overbearing was because of He Caixin.

Of course, I didn’t care.

They were all using me as a pawn to vent their anger on the bald man, and I was happy to relax and concentrate on my mission.

At 10:00 PM, there was an overseas video conference.

I had no choice. The technical consultant was overseas and the time zone was different. We could only accommodate the other party’s timing.

I volunteered to come early to help with the equipment setup and the printing of documents for the meeting.

He Caixin was originally unwilling to do such chores. So when I took the initiative, she immediately advised Xu Xiaomei to agree.

There was still an hour before the meeting started.

It was enough for me to do something else before I was supposed to prepare the equipment.

I went straight to the top floor. At this time of the day, the office was quiet, and almost everyone had left.

Of course, that included the bald man.

I quietly traipsed to his office and after confirming that no one was around, I entered.

If I set up the pinhole surveillance cameras here, I would have the best chance of obtaining evidence!
