On the day Lu Chenzhou's Bai Yueguang returned to China, the housekeeper informed me to pack my luggage. "Sir, you are asked to leave tonight. This is compensation." The check fell lightly at my feet. I signed the divorce agreement quietly: "Thank him for me, and the money is unnecessary." He dropped the pen and sneered: "Why are you pretending to be noble? Isn't this what you've been doing all these years?"
I bent down to pick up the shredded check and suddenly retched.
When the pregnancy test form slipped from his pocket, he held my wrist tightly: "Whose is it?" I looked at his red eyes and chuckled: "It's not Mr. Lu's anyway."
After all, every time afterward, he would watch me swallow the contraceptive pill with his own eyes.
