[UR]Wife's Secret

Chapter01

“Brother, I really envy you for having such a beautiful wife! By the way, tell me where your sister-in-law got her double eyelids done? My aunt at home is clamoring to go there every day!”

At the celebration party on the day of the project signing, a colleague’s slightly flattering words made my heart tremble.

“Why do you want double eyelid surgery? Your sister-in-law is born with it~”

“Hey, Brother Liu, you don’t understand women’s affairs. My wife’s vision is absolutely accurate! My sister-in-law must be afraid that you will object, so she didn’t dare to tell you~”

Looking at my colleague’s slightly tipsy face, I drank the wine in the glass and fell into deep thought.

In the eyes of others, I have a happy family, a beautiful and virtuous wife, and a lively and lovely son who just turned three years old. As a poor boy from the countryside, I worked hard in an unfamiliar big city, starting as a clerk and working my way up to a middle-level manager in a company. I have a complete car and house, and an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, making me the envy of my relatives and friends.

But other people don’t know that there is always a thorn in my heart, and every time I think of it, it feels like a needle prick.

That is, my son Xiaobao doesn’t look like me at all!

In fact, the father, who was far away in his hometown in the countryside, had worriedly asked on the phone more than once: “Is it possible that Xiaobao was given away by mistake…” because the father and son’s facial features did not look alike at all.

Before, I thought my father was worrying for no reason, until today when a colleague woke me up!

If my wife really had single eyelids and I also had single eyelids, then our child Xiaobao would not have the double eyelids he has now!

A very simple high school biology question. Single eyelids are a trait controlled by a recessive gene. How could a pair of parents with single eyelids give birth to a child with double eyelids? Is it just a gene mutation? Only a fool would believe such a ridiculous reason!

Thinking of this, I felt like I was struck by lightning!

I know very well the relationship between my wife and I, and it is not as enviable as outsiders may think.

My wife and I were high school classmates. At that time, she was the goddess in most boys’ minds. She had an exquisite oval face, and she looked pure and lovely without any makeup. Her gentle eyebrows, every ups and downs, could create ripples in my heart. And my state at that time, to use a self-deprecating word, was even worse than a loser, just like a toad that had just jumped out of a well.

But it was this toad that got to eat the long-coveted swan meat at the end of its senior semester.

When I was in college, by chance I ended up in the same city as Jiahui. I had always been paying attention to her, but it seemed that she had no place for a small person like me.

University is a place where men and women who have been suppressed for a long time often choose to take the initiative under the stimulation of hormones. Soon, Jiahui got a boyfriend. I heard that he was the president of the student union of their department. His name was Lin Hai. He was very handsome, his family was rich, and he had relatives working in the hospital. He could easily get a place in graduate school. Compared with people like me, his lower limit in life may be far beyond the upper limit of mine.

Jiahui and Lin Hai had always had a good relationship until the end of their senior year, when I learned from my good friend Zhang Tao that they had had a big fight for some reason and chose to break up in anger.

Zhang Tao was also Jiahui’s and my high school classmate. He was also one of the goddess’s admirers at the time. However, as he was born into a medical family, his parents had arranged his life for him early on. He was to study in a medical school, marry the daughter of a municipal hospital leader, and take over his father’s job in a stable manner.

At that time, I was inferior and taciturn, but I got along well with Zhang Tao. During a drink and chat, he saw my true feelings for Jiahui, so he volunteered to be my spy to find out the news about the goddess, which brought me great encouragement and support.

I took the initiative the day after Jiahui broke up. At that time, I had saved a certain amount of money by working part-time day and night, and I spent money without hesitation. I sent her breakfast, flowers, gifts… everything she needed, and asked about her well-being every day, just like the humble bootlicker that people hate.

But I don’t care, because I succeeded, licked it to the end, and had it all!

The day Jiahui agreed to marry me, I cried with joy, and she cried too.

“Thank you for marrying me.” In the hall, she was wearing a snow-white wedding dress and whispered in a tone that only the two of us could hear.

In the end, I became the winner in this relationship that was not favored by most people.

Marrying a wife and having children was a natural process. In order to provide a better life for my wife and children, I worked very hard, worked overtime, went on business trips, and immersed myself in busyness and happiness. Three years passed in a flash.

Maybe I was really blinded by happiness. Even an uneducated farmer like my father could notice the abnormality, so why didn’t I take it seriously before? !

Is it simply because of trust in Jiahui? But these days, trust between people seems to be the cheapest thing!

At that moment, I suddenly had an urge to go home immediately and ask my wife everything.

But I quickly adjusted my mindset. Years of work experience have made me no longer the hot-blooded young man I used to be.

Because it would do me no good at all to put this tough question directly in front of Jiahui!

If Xiaobao turns out to be my biological son, all the suspicion will become a sharp knife piercing my wife’s heart. From now on, she will probably only feel disappointed towards me, and this family will exist in name only.

If Xiaobao is not my biological child, then my reckless behavior will alert the enemy and make me lose all the initiative. When my wife and children do not belong to me, what else in this family belongs to me? Car? House? Savings? Over the years, I have been accustomed to giving all the money I earn to Jiahui to manage. On the one hand, I think this is a man’s responsibility, and on the other hand, it is a compensation for her wholehearted care of this family.

But if my wife has already had two hearts for me and treats me as a spare tire that can be abandoned at any time, then when the showdown comes, I will instantly lose everything I have worked hard for! I can’t do such a stupid thing!

The best way to deal with it is to conduct a secret investigation and never show the slightest sign of abnormality in front of your wife!

Chapter02

With years of hard work, my income naturally increased. After Xiaobao was born, in order not to affect my work and to better take care of the child, Jiahui simply quit her job and became a full-time housewife.

To be honest, I once really enjoyed the feeling of having someone prepare breakfast for you as soon as you opened your eyes, the house was always clean and tidy, and you never had to wash your clothes by yourself.

However, ever since he began to doubt his wife, the gratitude in his heart has slowly turned into an indelible depression.

It was almost dawn when I opened the door and walked into the house. The light in the bedroom was still on. It was obvious that Jiahui was waiting for me.

“Honey, why are you home so late today? Did you drink?”

I tried my best to control my inner anger, and loosened my tie and took off my shirt.

“Is Xiaobao asleep?”

My wife rubbed her eyes and moved slightly on the bed, her long, beautiful legs faintly visible under her nightgown.

She patted the bed sheet and said coquettishly, “I went to bed a long time ago. You only know how to socialize and don’t care about your own son at all~”

Under the light that exudes an ambiguous atmosphere, the wife’s expressions, movements, demeanor, and tone of voice create a charming and erotic painting that is very arousing.

She is undoubtedly a very capable woman who knows what men like most. If it were in the past, I would have instantly turned into a hungry tiger, pounced on the prey in front of me, and feasted on it. But today, I had no interest in the woman in front of me. I finished the matter in less than the time it took to smoke a cigarette.

“Husband, are you too tired today and not in good shape?”

My wife, who noticed something was wrong, poured me a glass of water and asked me with concern.

“Today is the project celebration party. I drank a little bit of wine and my stomach is not feeling well, which affects my performance. Let’s do it another day. It would be bad if it wakes Xiaobao up.” I made up an excuse.

“Oh, my period will come in a few days…” My wife sighed. Jiahui is very open in her married life. On the day we confirmed our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, she said, “Let me make it clear first. I’m not the obedient girl in your mind. If you’re not good in bed, we won’t be able to go to the end.”

At that moment, I was thinking that the “beauty on earth” that men like most might be this kind of woman.

Fortunately, my health has been good for a long time, but today, I am not in the mood to score a second goal.

“Wife, let me ask you something. Did you get your double eyelids cut later? I have a colleague who asked me to…” I pretended to be nonchalant and asked the question in my mind. Halfway through the sentence, my wife’s face showed displeasure.

“Why, you don’t like it?”

Jiahui interrupted coldly. She was a woman who was very confident about her appearance, and she did not show any guilt even though her secret was discovered.

Jiahui acquiesced. What her colleague said was right, which meant…

My heart was pounding so hard that I didn’t dare think any further. My brain forced me to stay calm.

“Oh, don’t be angry. My wife is so beautiful, how could I not like her? By the way, can you tell me more about the birth of our son?” I hugged Jiahui in my arms and changed the subject.

“What else could have happened? I was in the hospital about to give birth, and you were still thousands of kilometers away on a business trip. If it weren’t for the help of my mother and my colleagues, you might have been remarried by now!” the wife said angrily.

“I mean, was there anyone else in the delivery room at the time? Do you think there’s a chance that our son was taken away by mistake?”

“Mr. Liu, are you out of your mind? Or have you watched too many TV dramas? I’m staying in the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital! It’s not a small clinic. One moment you’re asking me if I had plastic surgery, and the next moment you’re suspecting that the child was taken away by mistake. It’s so annoying! Go to bed!” The wife angrily pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself tightly.

A night in silence.

The next morning, I got up at 8:30 as usual. Jiahui prepared ironed clothes and breakfast as usual, but she didn’t say a word. It was obvious that she was still angry about my behavior last night.

After going downstairs and getting in the car, I sent a WeChat message to my boss asking for leave. I didn’t expect that my boss, who always ignored me and was easy to talk to, would not agree to my leave application this time: “Come to the company first, and we’ll talk later if there is anything.”

Something is not right…

I took a long breath and started the engine, with a strong feeling of uneasiness lingering in my heart.

The storm is coming.

I drove to the company building and parked my car. I didn’t rush in. I called my subordinate Xiao Sun and asked, “What happened in the company?”

“Boss, there are changes in the company!” The subordinate’s tone was particularly serious.

“Explain clearly?”

“The boss is about to give up his position. A new leader has arrived from headquarters and he specifically asked for you!”

“Looking for me?” I felt suspicious.

“Who knows what that person is thinking? He specifically asked to see you. Maybe he is just a new official. He is not a good person. You should be careful, boss!” The workplace is like a battlefield. Sometimes a little negligence can make people lose more than ten years of hard work. As a trusted subordinate who has been with me for many years, Xiao Sun is of course thinking about me. I understand this.

“Just do your job well and don’t worry too much.” After hanging up the phone, I straightened my tie and walked into the office building with my head held high.

When I walked into the boss’ office, I found him packing his belongings with a gloomy look on his face. I couldn’t help but frown: “Boss, are you really leaving?”

Although my leader’s business ability is average, he is very tactful in dealing with people and is not too harsh towards his subordinates. He has an excellent reputation.

The boss threw me a cigarette and said self-deprecatingly: “Liu’er, times have changed. The workplace is now full of young people pushing forward the old ones. An old hand like me can’t do it anymore~”

“Is that new guy trying to mess with me?” I said bluntly without beating around the bush.

“Young people should be more aggressive.” The leader flicked off the ash from his cigarette, his face full of reluctance. “I was the one who built up the company’s business department. I have been working with it for more than ten years and I don’t want to see it fall apart. You are the newcomer I think the most and I was planning to have you take over in a few years. I called you here today for no other reason. I advise you to be as tolerant as possible towards the new boss and give him enough face. You hold nearly 70% of the company’s customers and projects in your hands. Even if Lin Hai wants to mess with you, he is powerless.”

“Wait, what’s your new boss’ name?!”

Seeing my extremely shocked expression, the leader looked stunned: “Lin Hai, what’s the matter, did you know each other before?”

I was startled. It couldn’t be such a coincidence!
