The young heir of a powerful Beijing family posted on Weibo, with a photo of a top-tier winery.
The caption read: [My wife likes it, so I'm buying it right away.]
I opened the photo and realized it was the Aifei Winery, the one I'd mentioned in passing last week.
Thinking of how he'd mysteriously said last time that he had an anniversary surprise ready for me, I realized this must be it.
I smiled and replied in the comments.
But three minutes later, Ye Xinyou, a rising star at the same company, professed her love for him from afar: [My husband's so generous. I'm very pleased.]
Overnight, gossip-hungry netizens went wild shipping them.
[So sweet! No wonder he's the young heir. Even his relationship announcement is so domineering!]
I was stunned. When I realized she was just using him for publicity, I posted our marriage certificate online.
The caption read: [She's announcing herself as his wife, so who am I?]
But Ye Xinyou posted a marriage certificate too, and the man in the photo was unmistakably my husband.
She sneered: [Even a daydreaming fangirl should know her limits. A Chen and I are legally married. You can't fake that just by photoshopping a picture!]
Looking at the two marriage certificates bearing official seals, I fell silent in thought. Then I saw the location on her Weibo post and couldn't help calling my husband, who was abroad.
"How dare you commit bigamy behind my back?"
