Xia Wen did not speak in the car on the way home. He stood calmly outside his house and stared at the very familiar door. This should be a place that made him feel warm inside, but instead, it had become the most unfamiliar place in the world. It was not the physical location that felt unfamiliar, but the person who lived with him.
As soon as he pushed open the door and entered the house, Xia Wen saw clothes and bags strewn all over the living room. There was even a 40-inch color television. All these things were new. Tan Jing had bought them after he left. There was no need for Xia Wen to ask her about the whereabouts of the money. The answer was very obvious.
Tan Jing stood in front of the mirror to admire her new clothes. This was the first time Xia Wen had seen Tan Jing so happy. He realized that Tan Jing had not smiled brightly ever since they got married.
"What… are you doing?" Xia Wen asked.
