Liu Yanbo didn't explain the story of the antique mobile phone, and Yin Hanruo didn't question further.
The room was hot and humid, like a steamer.
Liu Yanbo had many weird habits, and not turning on the air conditioning was one of them.
“What do you drink?” Liu Yanbo opened the refrigerator. After drinking alcohol all night, he was inevitably extremely thirsty.
Yin Hanruo sat in an armchair and said: “I’m not thirsty, thanks.”
‘Gulp, gulp’ Liu Yanbo finished an entire bottle of mineral water in one breath, then grabbed another one, unscrewed the cap, and gave it to Yin Hanruo. “The weather’s quite hot, you can drink it later when you feel thirsty. But first, put it aside for a while until it warms a bit, drinking ice water at night isn’t good for your stomach.”
Yin Hanruo took the bottle, rolled her eyes, and said: “Then why are you drinking so much?”
"In my line of work, working every day from dawn to dusk, it’s hard to find any time to eat or drink. So I’m already used to eating anything, cold or raw." Liu Yanbo sat on the floor and seriously said: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I’ll try my best to answer."
“Don’t you already know?” Yin Hanruo raised her eyebrow.
Liu Yanbo's statement made her a little dissatisfied. At any rate, they were still husband and wife, although they weren’t close, they shouldn’t be distant to this extent.
I already know?
Liu Yanbo embarrassedly smiled and scratched his neck, but didn’t answer.
He could roughly guess what Yin Hanruo wanted to ask. Something that must never be known to anyone besides himself, or at least he would never admit it himself.
Seeing a smile bloom on his face, Yin Hanruo felt an immense desire to slap him.
This stinky man can't take anything seriously, he only knows how to laugh.
The two didn’t speak anymore, and the air became somewhat dull and awkward.
After about ten minutes, Yin Hanruo couldn’t take it anymore and shouted: "Liu Yanbo..."
The main topic was coming.
“Hmn?” Liu Yanbo replied.
Yin Hanruo looked a little nervous. She squeezed her hands tightly together, and after glancing at the time, carefully asked: “Where did you go yesterday, early in the morning?”
“Where could I go?” Liu Yanbo smiled: “I was sleeping in my room of course!"
"You’re lying!" Yin Hanruo said with a calm face, "I came looking for you last night."
Liu Yanbo didn’t hear wrong that night. Yin Hanruo had indeed turned off the lights to go to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
She thought of some details about the formula and wanted to come over and ask him, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response.
At first, she just thought he was sleeping too deeply, so she didn't think much of it.
Until lunch at noon yesterday, when Yin Hanruo heard the news that Jiu Ye had been killed. Then, Pan Yuyi went to Ruomeng Group, found her, and asked where Liu Yanbo was last night.
Actually, Yin Hanruo didn't know whether he was at home or not. That night, she had knocked on the door for a long time, but she didn't use a key to open the door and confirm it.
When facing the police officer, she helped Liu Yanbo without hesitation, saying that he didn’t leave home last night.
But that didn’t mean that Yin Hanruo believed it herself.
Despite being slightly surprised, the smile on Liu Yanbo’s face didn’t change. He blurted: “Why were you looking for me last night?”
"Liu Yanbo, don't change the subject." Yin Hanruo sternly said: "You must explain this to me."
The rumors on the Internet were already raging. Although it was true that Liu Yanbo beat Xue Long, there were only speculations with no evidence, but Yin Hanruo couldn’t help but doubt him.
Yin Hanruo also had no solid evidence to indicate that Liu Yanbo did this, but she believed that her suspicions were more based.
Lin Xue was very important to Liu Yanbo, more important than anyone he knew and more important than even himself.
Yin Hanruo knew this very well, so after Liu Yanbo brought Lin Xue back that night, she knew that he would never give up.
What she never expected was-
If he really did it, this revenge was too terrible.
Could it be that the man who had been living under the same roof as she was a demon from hell?
Thinking of this, Yin Hanruo couldn't help but shudder and drank a sip of water to relieve her suddenly dry mouth. She pursed his lips: "Who are you? What kind of past did you have?"
Liu Yanbo's 23 years-long blank past was like a drug, hard to withdraw from.
"Fine! I'll be honest." Liu Yanbo shrugged, saying, "My parents died early, so I didn't have any money to buy books to read. I dropped out of school when I was thirteen and went to work as a child laborer in other places. Later, I was sold to Africa by my corrupt boss. I only returned to China three years ago. As for the blanks in my household registration information, that’s probably because young sir Bin thought I was dead a long time ago, so he canceled my household registration. But I’m not too sure either."
Liu Yanbo's words were half-true and half-lies. Yin Hanruo also didn’t believe it entirely either. After thinking for a while, she asked: "Then how did you get your current account?"
"With money, of course! Is there anything that money can't do in this world?" Liu Yanbo sighed, and then said: "But it's infuriating to talk about, I was at least a millionaire when I first came back to China, but a hukou* ended up screwing me over, and made my ten years of suffering abroad worth nothing."
*registration of an individual in China
It sounded a bit like a joke, but Yin Hanruo couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
It was a time of peace, society was dominated by economic development, and having money meant having anything.
Buying a hukou was not impossible.
Since Yin Hanruo couldn’t tell apart the truth and the false, she had no choice but to treat it as true. She took a deep breath and asked the question she was most concerned about once again: "Then where did you go last night?"
This time Liu Yanbo didn't answer right away, but rather lazily asked, "Do I really have to say?"
“Yes!” Yin Hanruo decisively affirmed. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll call that Pan officer right now and tell her that you weren’t home last night.”
Liu Yanbo sneaked a glance at Yin Hanruo, and then weakly said: If I tell you, promise that you won't hit me.”
Yin Hanruo grabbed a cushion and threw it on Liu Yanbo, and clenched her teeth: "If you keep pussyfooting, I'll beat you to death right now."
Liu Yanbo caught the pillow, moved his butt back, and said in a low voice, "To be honest I did I sneak out last night, but I didn't really do anything shameful, I just went for a drink and then..."
As he spoke, Liu Yanbo blushed and paused for a while before continuing, his voice lighter: "Then I went to talk to a beautiful woman about life."*
*Usually indirectly implies to meeting a prostitute.
Liu Yanbo spoke very tactfully, using the code words that were very popular on the internet nowadays.
Yin Hanruo didn't pay attention to those nonsense code words, but she didn’t live under a rock, she could still guess the meaning.
"Liu Yanbo, you bastard." When Yin Hanruo reacted, she directly grabbed the mineral water bottle that was by her side and threw it at him.
"Hey, why don't you keep your word, woman? You agreed not to hit me!" Liu Yanbo was quick to catch the mineral water bottle and angrily said, "Can I be blamed for this? Look at me, I'm still a healthy young man, so it's no surprise that I have some normal physical needs, right?"
Liu Yanbo shamelessly continued: "If you want to blame it on someone, blame yourself. We've been married for so long, but except for the time your mother was here, you haven't even let me touch your hand once. So tell me, is there any wife that treats her husband like this other than you?"
"I'll kill you, you stinking pervert!" Yin Hanruo finally exploded and rushed to Liu Yanbo, punching and kicking him with no mercy.
“Not my face!" Liu Yanbo protected his head with both hands and fell to the ground with miserable shrieks.
The originally dreary and depressing room was suddenly chaotic. Fortunately, the soundproofing of the high-class villa was excellent, or else Liu Yanbo's shrieks would definitely attract Mrs. Huang and Lin Xue, who lived on the first floor.
After venting for a while, Yin Hanruo finally got tired of hitting him. She fixed her somewhat disheveled hair and angrily sat back on the sofa, still unsatisfied. As for the doubts she had, they had all been long thrown away by her.
In this vast, big world, was there anything worse than getting cheated on by your own husband?
Not only did he cheat on his wife, but he went to a prostitute!
How dare you say in front of your own wife that it's not something shameful, do you still have the shame?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her heart was already full of resentment.
"Big sister, can’t you just let this pass?" Liu Yanbo sat up again. “If you want a horse to run, but you don’t give him any grass to eat, then fine, he can look for grass himself. But if not even that you let him, that’s outrageous, isn’t it?”
Yin Hanruo's beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely and she snapped, "You’re still going?!"
Liu Yanbo shrank his neck and quickly shut his mouth.
Yin Hanruo was really pissed off. Although the two had already agreed not to interfere with each other's private lives, when it came to this kind of thing, what was the point of caring about that?
Just because she was only a wife in name meant that she didn’t have pride?
Luckily she didn't have a knife at hand, or she might have had to castrate Liu Yanbo.
Yin Hanruo walked away.
Regardless of whether what Liu Yanbo said was true or not, his excuse was reasonable enough to believe and succeeded in disgusting Yin Hanruo, who now didn't even want to look at him.
Just as Yin Hanruo was about to walk out of the door, Liu Yanbo put away all his exaggerated expressions and seriously said, "Don't worry, I won't become a murderer."
"That's a matter for the police." Yin Hanruo took a slight pause in her steps and said, then finally left without looking back.
