Chapter 9

This is different from when a friend asked me, “How thrilling is it to cheat right under your wife’s nose?”

I blurted out without thinking, “Impossible, she wouldn’t.”

It’s partly because I would mind.

But I’m more certain that Lu Tong wouldn’t do anything to betray me.

Because it doesn’t fit her character.

Lu Tong has a cleanliness obsession.

With a cat at home, she vacuums the place thoroughly every day.

The air purifier is always running.

She’s the same way with herself.

If she goes out and doesn’t change clothes, she won’t take a step into the bedroom.

No one with a cleanliness obsession only has it in a physical sense.

My friend asked again.

“Then with you playing like this, doesn’t Lu Tong lose her cleanliness obsession?”

His question put me in a tough spot.

I didn’t know how to answer, nor had I ever thought about this issue.

Jiang Yu tilted her head, looking at my friend.

“Wang-Ge is just annoyed by his wife keeping an eye on him, jealous of Zhou-Ge.”

“A good man like Zhou-Ge is hard to find nowadays, even with a lantern.”

Jiang Yu spoke while nudging my arm.

She’s much better at talking than my friend.

Indeed.

At least since Lu Tong married me, she’s never been wronged.

Whether materially or spiritually.

Even when she didn’t want to have children, I convinced my parents.

I also know very clearly.

So what if there’s a cleanliness obsession?

The reason Lu Tong agreed to marry me is because she can’t live without me.
