Chapter 4 New Clothes
The next morning Jiang Yu acted as if nothing had happened.
He showed no sign of remembering the night before.
I watched him carefully.
"Is there trouble with the business?"
"No."
His answer was short.
I pressed again.
"Then what is wrong? Why did you drink so much?"
He looked at me for a long moment.
"What about you? Are you hiding something from me?"
I shook my head.
"I have nothing to hide."
His face darkened at once.
He gave a cold laugh and left, slamming the door behind him.
That night he returned with a new haircut and several shopping bags.
Without a word he opened the closet and threw out the clothes I had bought him.
"I don't like these colors."
"From now on, I'm going to be myself."
I stared at Jiang Yu like I had seen a ghost. Had he been possessed?
These clothes were all ones he had begged me to buy for him. He wanted me to dress him up according to my taste and make him look handsome.
He even joked back then, “A man should not only make money to support the family, but also be beautiful like grass. Otherwise, how can he keep his Wife’s heart?”
I replied at the time, “Wild grass can never smell as good as the grass at home.”
Jiang Yu loved that answer.
Now he was acting completely out of character. I seriously suspected he was treating me as a Stand-In!
The more I thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
So I posted on the internet for help.
Title: [What should I do if I suspect my husband is possessed by something dirty?]
The post exploded the moment it went up.
All kinds of enthusiastic netizens rushed in to help.
After reading my description and their detailed analysis, they reached one final conclusion—Jiang Yu had a woman outside.
I refused to believe it.
Jiang Yu loved me so much. He would never change his heart.
The netizens kept talking, each with their own theory.
Someone said no one could escape the seven-year itch.
My heart sank.
We had dated for two years and been married for five. That made exactly seven years.
Compared to believing Jiang Yu was cheating, I would rather believe he had simply grown tired after so long.
But I couldn’t stand his coldness toward me.
He used to treat me too well. I couldn’t accept such a huge gap.
Other netizens came out to refute and analyzed it with clear logic.
Suddenly loving looking in the mirror, working out, and paying attention to his appearance? He was getting ready to court someone.
New hairstyle, new style of dressing. He changed it all according to the other woman’s preference, right?
Staying out all night meant he was accompanying her.
Getting drunk and crying in his dreams? He got dumped.
Sleeping in separate rooms? He was staying pure for her now.
They told me to wake up and divorce him. Others warned me not to fall for his trap.
The comments kept getting more and more ridiculous.
I still didn’t want to believe Jiang Yu would betray me.
But the netizens’ analysis was so convincing that I couldn’t help but start to doubt.
Jiang Yu was handsome and rich. Over the years, countless women had thrown themselves at him. Any other man would have given in long ago.
Although he had rejected all of them and reported everything to me, what if none of those women were his type, and now someone who truly suited his taste had appeared? Could he really hold back?
I closed my phone with complicated feelings.
