My husband comes home from a business trip and blames me for not calling? I smiled: "Yes, but the person who picked up the phone is my girlfriend." My husband had just come home from a business trip and angrily pulled the suitcase in and threw the bag on the floor.

"During the fifteen days I was on a business trip, you didn't even call me once. Do you still have me in your heart?"

I sat on the sofa and leisurely took a sip of tea.

"You called."

"Not just calling once."

"The person who answered the phone was my little girlfriend, and there was also their three-year-old son."

His raised arm suddenly stopped in mid-air. The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot. Her lips trembled, but she still couldn't utter a single word. I smiled slightly, calmly pushed the prepared documents on the table towards him.

The "big gift" I prepared for you... it's time to receive it.

Zhou Kaiming has returned. He was dragging his suitcase, and as soon as he entered the door, he threw the bag in his hand on the ground. A loud noise immediately rang out. He roared at me.

“Fifteen full days!”

“I was on a business trip for fifteen days!”

“And yet you didn't make a single call!”

“Do you still have this husband in your heart?”

I sat on the sofa, raised the cup of tea in front of me, and leisurely took a sip. This is premium Longjing tea. The first taste is a bit bitter, but then leaves a sweet aftertaste on the tip of the tongue. I put down the teacup and calmly looked at his face contorted with anger.

“You called.”

My voice was extremely calm.

“Why didn't you call?”

He was stunned. It seemed unexpected that I would react like that. In his imagination, it must have been a landslide argument. Or I will cry bitterly in front of him.

“You called?”

He suddenly raised his voice, as if trying to hide his guilt.

"Why didn't you receive it? Your phone is on twenty-four hours a day!"

I nodded slightly.

“Maybe I was too busy at that time.”

I picked up the phone, opened the call history and turned the screen towards him.

"Look. The call was made at nine-fifteen p.m., three days ago."

“The call duration is three minutes and twenty seconds.”

Chu Khai Minh's eyes were immediately glued to the series of numbers on the screen. That's his private phone number. A phone number that has never left your side before. His face began to change. From anger to confusion, then panic.

“No way!”

He blurted out a denial.

“That night I was receiving guests, my phone was on silent mode, I couldn't receive a call!”

I took the phone back and smiled slightly.

“But the call was actually connected.”

“The person who picked up the phone is my gentle girlfriend, Bach Nguyet.”

“She also told me you were taking a shower.”

Chu Khai Minh's arm was raised, intending to continue criticizing me, but suddenly stiffened in mid-air. His whole body felt like it had been struck by lightning. The air in the living room immediately froze. Only the ticking sound of the wall clock echoed steadily. Every hour. Articulate. It was like tapping straight into his heart. His lips began to tremble. The blood on his face immediately drained away, leaving only a pathetic white look.

“What…what did you just say…”

He wants to say something. But my lips trembled so much that I couldn't utter a single word complete sentences. I didn't pay attention to that absent-minded appearance, I just continued calmly.

“Ah, that's right.”

“Before the call ended, I heard a child's voice.”

"Young voice, call me dad."

“If you calculate the time, you should be about three years old, right?”

“Same age as my son.”

“What a coincidence.”

Chu Khai Minh's body shook violently. He had to quickly put his hand on the shoe cabinet next to him to keep from falling. There was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. His eyes looked at me like he was looking at a stranger. Or a demon just crawled out of hell. I laughed. Extremely gentle smile. Then, I reached out and pushed the "big gift" that had been prepared a long time ago on the table in front of him. It's a kraft paper folder.

“It's a gift I prepared specifically for you.”

“Fifth wedding anniversary gift.”

Chu Khai Minh's hand trembled. He stared at the kraft paper clipboard on the table. It's like looking at a poisonous snake. I don't even dare to touch it. His voice was hoarse, mixed with pleading.

“Let me hear your explanation first…”

“There must be a misunderstanding between us…”

“Explain?”

I interrupted him.

“Just see what's in there first.”

“After that, we will talk slowly.”

Seeing that I was unmoved, he finally reached out his trembling hand. Take the file. Turn the first page. What caught his eye were five huge words. DIVORCE AGREEMENT As if his hands were burned, he almost threw the entire file on the ground. He looked up at me, his expression filled with surprise.

“You want to divorce me?”

“Just because of a misunderstanding?”

I don't answer. Just gently signal with your eyes, telling him to continue watching. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the waves rolling in his heart. Then turn to the second page. It's a stack of photos. In the photo is him, Bach Nguyet and a boy. Three people went to an amusement park together. Eat together at a restaurant. Standing together under an apartment complex that I have never been to. They smiled very happily. It looks like a real family. Chu Khai Minh's breathing began to accelerate. The hand holding the photo was clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He quickly turned to the third part. It's a stack of bank statements. Each money transfer is clearly recorded. Money is transferred from the couple's joint account. To a person with an unfamiliar name. Bach Nguyet. The first amount was transferred three years ago. 500,000 yuan. Final clause. Transferred half a month ago. 1,000,000 yuan. On the same day he packed his suitcase and left home to go on a business trip. That day, he also said the company needed money to turn around capital. Is turning to another woman's bed. Total amount: 12,730,000 yuan. Zhou Kaiming completely collapsed. He leaned against the shoe cabinet and then slid down to sit on the floor. Files were scattered everywhere. His happy smile in the photos is a bitter contrast to his face as white as ashes now.

“It's not…”

He muttered.
