When I Collapsed with a High Fever, My Wife Was with Her Male Best Friend

With a fever of 39 degrees, he heard the man she called her best male friend sobbing on the other end of the phone. “Wanqing, don’t go...” Her reply was, “My husband... he can manage on his own.”

Zhou Xubai thought love meant having someone all to himself, while Wen Wanqing insisted that friendship should last forever. Only after his heart had completely died and he moved out of their marital home did she see, on her male friend’s phone, that she was just another name on his list of targets.

Later, she tearfully repented at his company’s annual gala, but he simply announced to the whole room, “That chapter of my life is over.” Some people who turn away are gone forever.
