The following day, after lunch, A Man was about to head back to Huahai. Before leaving, he pondered for a moment, pulled his wife into the room, and inquired once more about the chastity belt, implying that he could send the key back to her after he returned. However, Yuan Zhen refused without hesitation.
"This is my choice, and it's also for you. I will wear it for you, and wait for you to unlock it for me, because I belong to you and only you. Unless you dislike it, I will not take it off," Yuan Zhen said, her face turning rosy again, but her gaze was incredibly resolute.
Upon hearing his wife's response, A Man said nothing more and just hugged her tightly. After a long while, they parted, and he scratched his head, thinking about next week's matters, and said, "There's something else I want to tell you, I don't want to hide it from you." A Man thought for a moment, then continued, "Next weekend, I might have to go to Yanjing with a woman. She's asked me to help her evaluate a project."
After hearing this, a flicker of darkness crossed Yuan Zhen's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Is it her?" she asked.
"Yes," A Man replied, not wanting to hide anything, nor could he. He felt that only by being honest could he alleviate some of his guilt.
"Go ahead, I've said it before, as long as you love me, I won't ask about or interfere in other matters, as long as you're not being deceived," Yuan Zhen said.
A Man couldn't fathom why his wife was so tolerant and open-minded. Isn't love supposed to be selfish? If this were happening to someone else, he might even suspect that the woman didn't truly love the man. But over these days, Yuan Zhen's expressions of love for him were absolutely genuine. Just her willingness to wear the chastity belt for him was enough to prove her loyalty.
"By the way, can you send me the novel your classmate sent you?" A Man remembered the foreign classmate his wife had mentioned before, who had helped buy the chastity belt and seemed to have written the novel herself. A Man thought he should read it carefully.
"Oh, sure, just a moment, I'll get my phone," Yuan Zhen said, and fetched her phone. In front of her husband, she opened WeChat. A Man watched as his wife had changed; she used to use her phone only as a clock and alarm, but now she could use WeChat. However, he noticed that his wife had only one contact on WeChat, a person named Li Jing, and it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't have his wife's WeChat yet. Then A Man and his wife added each other on WeChat, and he received a novel titled "The Abyss."
After bidding farewell to her parents, Yuan Zhen saw A Man off to the edge of the village. As A Man was about to get on the car, he looked at his beautiful wife and caressed her delicate cheek.
"If it becomes uncomfortable, just let me know, and I'll send the key back," he said. But Yuan Zhen just smiled at him and shook her head gently.
