On Qixi, my supervisor wife said she was flying to Australia on a business trip, missing our tenth wedding anniversary for the first time. But at noon, I saw her on her male boss’s Moments. My usually haughty wife was cheerfully cleaning out a pigsty.
His caption read, “My wife is so capable. A promotion and a fortune are just around the corner.”
I let out a cold laugh and commented, “The future looks bright.”
The comments on the post immediately started pouring in. My colleagues formed little group chats, wondering if I was about to blow up. When my wife called, the first thing she did was demand, “Lin Mu, what did you mean by that comment? Were you trying to embarrass Brother Sheng?”
“He had too much to do at home, so I gave him a hand. There’s nothing going on between us. Don’t be so petty!”
“Delete that comment! What will people think if they see it?”
I replied flatly, “I’m not deleting it. If there’s nothing going on between you, what are you afraid of?”
Then I hung up. There were only three days left in our divorce waiting period anyway. I didn’t need to beat around the bush with them anymore.
