Summary
After Jiang Rui cheated on me, I didn’t go looking for her. I didn’t use another woman to make her jealous.
I simply started letting things go.
Every time she spent the night at another man’s place, I put another cardboard box in the entryway.
Unfinished bottles of wine. Unopened shirts. Sneakers she’d collected for years. Souvenirs from our travels.
And the wedding photograph she’d chosen herself.
Six months. Ten boxes filled the entryway.
At last, the only belongings left in our marital home were mine.
The night I sealed the final box, I set a divorce agreement on the dining table.
Jiang Rui was leaning back on the sofa, replying to messages. She didn’t even look up.
“What have you thrown out this time? Don’t hold me up. I’m going out.”
I pulled out a chair and sat down.
“This time, it’s a person I’m getting rid of.”
She scoffed and picked up her car keys.
“Do whatever you like. I don’t have time for your little performance. Gu Yu’s waiting.”
I stepped aside, revealing all ten boxes by the door.
“Perfect.”
“Sign, then take yourself and the boxes out of here.”
