Seeing the smug look on the jerk of a livestreamer's face as he boasted about his recent triumphs, my expression instinctively turned much gloomier.

I looked at the uncensored username and avatar in the center of the screen, and the sweet face of Liu Huan flashed in my mind.

"Let me tell you, this girl sent a message to the wrong person, and it ended up with her male best friend. Their chat history was super awkward."

The atmosphere in the livestream room was harmonious, with even some people asking the host about his experience during his escapades.

I silently followed the streamer, took a screenshot of the live page, and forced myself to suppress the anger boiling inside me.

I really didn't want to think negatively, but the uncensored avatar and username undeniably belonged to my girlfriend, Liu Huan, including the chat page he accidentally revealed. Just from looking at the words, I could even imagine Liu Huan's tone.

As my mind was in a whirl, Liu Huan's call came in.

I hesitated for a moment but still pressed the answer button.

On the other end came a slightly breathless and flirtatious voice.

"Honey, why has your business trip been so long? I miss you."

Normally, hearing this voice would stir my heart, and I'd wish I could sprout wings to fly back home.

But knowing I'm not the only man who's heard this lovely voice, I couldn't help but feel nauseated.

"Honey? Is the signal bad there? Why can't I hear you?"

Liu Huan asked in a puzzled tone.

"Oh, maybe the signal's a bit weak. I hear you're out of breath. What are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Liu Huan hurriedly explained, "I'm out for a night run. Since you haven't been home recently, there's no one to keep an eye on me. I haven't managed my figure for quite some time. Now that you're coming back soon, I need to present my best state to you!"

She was saying sweet words, and at the same time, a faint sweet voice also came from the livestream room.

The streamer glanced to the left and laughed with the viewers in the room, "Brothers, remember, if you're on a business trip and call your girlfriend feeling something's off, don't think you're overthinking. Otherwise, you'll never know how many green hats you'll be wearing!"

"Oh come on, the streamer isn't joking. What he says comes from experience!"

"That's how love is. Everyone talks about the seven-year itch, but how many couples can really resist the temptation and truly love each other for seven years?"

"Click!"

I suddenly turned off the livestream room, and my mood hit rock bottom.

On the phone, Liu Huan kept joking with me, chatting about what she'd seen and heard recently, just like usual.

But now, hearing her voice only makes me want to vomit.

"Honey, when you come back, should we pick a time to travel? How about choosing Yunjiang City? What do you think? My best friend said it's really fun there!"

Yunjiang City?

I sneered and searched the company this streamer signed with on the search engine. The address shown was unsurprisingly in a district of Yunjiang City.

"Honey, are you too tired? Why aren't you answering me?"

I looked at my phone, recalling the sweet words Liu Huan had said to me before.

Liu Huan, do you really take your boyfriend of twenty years for a fool?

At that moment, when I saw the message from Liu Huan, I felt something was amiss. She habitually called me hubby, but this time she added the word "you," which she never used in our chats before.

I thought I had just read too many chaotic stories online about being cheated on, and had become overly suspicious.

But now it seems, this wasn't a misunderstanding at all.

Liu Huan indeed cheated on me!

Realizing this, my chest heaved with anger. If I had sufficient evidence in my hand, I would demand an explanation from Liu Huan right now about what's going on!

Scenes from our past moments together flashed in my mind, and a dull pain throbbed uncontrollably in my heart.

Liu Huan and I were childhood friends, growing up together. Since I can remember, she always followed me around, calling me brother sweetly, and constantly saying she wanted to marry me.

During my naive adolescence, I fell for a girl in school who was like a goddess. I often sought to impress her. Just as we were getting closer, Liu Huan found out. I still remember how she pitifully stood before me, softly asking, "Brother Chen, I heard you're getting a girlfriend?"

"Didn't we promise each other since childhood? You'd marry me when we grew up, and if you marry someone else, wouldn't I be left to grow old alone? Can you bear seeing me live my life alone?"

At that time, I didn't take it seriously, just patted her head, grinning, "What's all this about marrying or not? Life is long, who knows how we'll turn out?"

In high school, I had my first girlfriend. I clearly recall Liu Huan being very upset, crying that she'd lost her chance, that I would never marry her in this lifetime.

Later on, in college, we officially got together. Liu Huan was over the moon, glued to my side all day, unwilling to be anywhere else.

I never thought this Liu Huan would one day have an affair, betray me, sleep in another man's bed, and even lie so smoothly while discussing our future together.

I tightened my grip on the phone, letting Liu Huan chatter away on the line, while I remained silent.

Finally, Liu Huan sensed my odd behavior.

"Hubby, what's really wrong with you today?"

"Is work too exhausting? Or are the collaborations not going well?"

"Tell me, maybe I can help ease some of it for you."

I took a deep breath, replying coldly, "No need, it's just fatigue. I'll be fine after some rest."

"Okay then, hubby, I'll hang up and let you rest well."

Not long after Liu Huan hung up, the scumbag streamer's broadcast also ended.

I sat on the sofa, filled with mixed emotions. Logging into the mobile banking app, I reviewed her expenditures for the past year.

This bank card, although linked to my account, was a birthday gift I gave to Liu Huan, with fifty thousand in it. I used to trust her completely, never checking where she spent the money.

Now logging in, I discovered she'd been buying a high-speed rail ticket to Yunjiang City nearly every month since last year.

The implication of buying train tickets to Yunjiang City was clear as day.

Staring at the spending records in the account, my stomach churned violently, almost causing me to vomit on the hotel bed.

Earlier, in order to finish work quickly and come home to see Liu Huan, I forcefully cut my originally month-long business trip in half, planning to end the schedule early and give Liu Huan a surprise.

The surprise hadn't been delivered yet, but shock did first, however, since the work was completed, I had no reason to stay in this city any longer. After packing my luggage, I directly bought a high-speed rail ticket for that day, returning to Tianlin City overnight.

After returning to the small villa that Liu Huan and I lived in together, I found she wasn't home. The house was exactly the way it was when I left it, clearly indicating that during these two weeks of my business trip, Liu Huan was never home.

After getting the answer, my excited emotions actually calmed down. I first gave Liu Huan a call.

"Husband?"

Liu Huan's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

"Why are you calling me suddenly? Are you planning to end work early?"

Though she sounded surprised, I still sensed she was
