Promise You a Prosperous Life - C49

In the evening, Yu Mo went to take a shower and casually placed his phone on the tea table in the living room. I hesitated for a moment before taking it with me. When I tried to open it, I found a password.

I tried to type in his birthday, but the password was incorrect. After a moment of hesitation, I typed in my birthday, but this time, the phone was turned on.

From the setting of the code, Yu Mo Yi truly loved me, and was not on guard against me. If there was even a trace of it, he would not have done so.

Yu Mo Yi’s honesty made me feel a little ashamed of myself. I felt like an extremely narrow-minded person who would always treat others with narrow thoughts, but the reality was completely different.

I had the thought of giving up for a moment, but my curiosity was like a black hole, and once inside, it was hard to pull away. In the end, I clicked on Yu Mo Yi’s WeChat from the page.

After checking my contact list and photo album, I wasn’t suspicious of anything else. I was completely relieved at this turn of events, and confirmed that Hu Jinjin’s’ secret ‘was completely nonsense. What’ substitute ‘was, was just a bunch of nonsense from her.

I hate myself. I was completely on guard against Hu Jin, and I was still tricked by that little girl, Hu Jin. There really is a father and a daughter.

At the same time, I secretly swore that this was the first and last time I would look at Yu Mo Yi’s cell phone. If I had another phone, I wouldn’t be worthy of being his wife.

Because of my thief-like behavior, when Yu Mo came out of the washroom, I welcomed him with great enthusiasm, as if I had made amends for my work. Yu Mo could not believe it, but he was flattered, and he acted very brave.

After that, Yu Mo Yi hugged me tightly and whispered into my ear, “Wife, you did well today. We’ll continue in the future.”

There was guilt in my heart. I was so ashamed that I didn’t even dare to raise my head. I lay in his embrace and awkwardly let out a single syllable. “Heh.”

Another day later, when Yu Mo mentioned that we were having a social meetup at night and wouldn’t be going home to eat dinner, I didn’t mind because it was inevitable that the company would grow, so I invited myself to have a simple meal.

Shortly before midnight, the doorbell rang. I was puzzled. Yu Mo had the key, so why didn’t he open the door himself?

When he opened the door, he found that Lu Gang was there as well. He was struggling to support Yu Mo Yi, and his current state could be described as drunk like mud.

At this point, I still did not think much of it, it was normal to go out and get drunk, and I even felt a little sorry for Yu — he was simply putting his health at stake for the sake of his company.

Lu Gang and I helped Yu Mo into the sofa, and thanked him for bringing the drunk Yu Mo home. Lu Gang looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but when their eyes met, he didn’t say anything. He used his old tone to remind me of some things I should take care of when I was drunk, and opened the door and left.

I brought hot water, grabbed a towel, and began to wipe Yu Mo’s hands and feet. Looking at Yu Mo Yi, who was lying at my disposal after I fell asleep, I felt a warmth in my heart. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and just as I was about to leave, Yu Mo Yi’s arms came over and tightly wrapped around my neck.

Just as I was about to leave, Yu Mo Yi’s lips moved, then he called out, “Lan,” and at first I couldn’t believe it, I thought I had heard wrongly, but then Yu Mo Yi repeated his words, and when he was about to hug me again, I came out from under his arm.

Yu Mo fell asleep, but the towel fell from my hand.

It was said that when one thought of someone when awake, they would automatically show some reaction after drinking wine. It seemed that the person that Yu Mo was concerned about was not me, but Lan’er.

From the name, Lan’er was definitely a woman, but who was she? I couldn’t help thinking about Hu Jinjin’s “secret” story. Could it be that all of this was true? Am I really a “substitute”? And the original owner was this “Lan”?

However, there were no clues in Yu Mo’s phone. Was he overthinking it? After a while, I snapped out of my daze and laughed. Yu Mo Yi must have noticed the change in my phone and deleted any suspicious information.

The scariest thing would never be that the person would no longer appear on the phone, but would always be remembered by those who thought of her.

I didn’t know how to wipe off the ink, or how to get rid of the dirty water. All night long, my mind was in a mess.

The next day, after I finished breakfast, Yu Mo walked into the dining room drowsily. When I saw him for the first time, I had the urge to ask him who “Lan” was. However, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

If his conjecture was true and Yu Mo Yi hadn’t mentioned it for such a long period of time, then he definitely didn’t want me to know about it. Even if he forced it out, he would have tried to cover it up with drunk words.

If it was just my excessive anxiety, wouldn’t I be looking down on myself and causing trouble? This kind of silly thing is better not to do it, so I try to put my breakfast away as calmly as I can.

But in the end, I wasn’t someone who kept things to myself. After a short while, I still wasn’t able to control myself and changed my way to ask about it.

I said half-jokingly, “Last night, you were drunk. Did you eat with a beauty? “Drunk to confess?”

Yu Mo was drinking some rice soup when he paused and said, “It was a female customer who had to drink a few more cups in order to get the business done.” Then he looked at me and asked casually, “Did I speak nonsense?”

My heart thumped. If what Yu Mo said was true, he wouldn’t have said those last few words. But now, he is obviously feeling guilty.

“Yes,” I said, holding my heart back.

As expected, Yu Mo immediately tensed up. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, “What did I say?”

I was even more certain of my thoughts and had the urge to ‘poke my head out’ once again. However, I still had the same misgivings. Yu Mo Yi wouldn’t admit to it just because I was drunk.

“You said that drinking is a double-edged sword, and when you’re drunk, you feel very comfortable, but when you wake up, you feel as if your skin is being peeled and your intestines are turning green from regret. You also said that you have to stop drinking in the future and will never drink again.”

Yu Mo Yi’s tense expression relaxed completely after I finished speaking. He stood up and walked over to me, placing his hand on my arm as he spoke in a solemn voice.

“Wife, I swear on my character that no matter how drunk I am, I will never confess to another woman, and I will never do anything that would let you down.”

Looking at Yu Mo Yi’s shining eyes and the solemn expression on his face, I couldn’t tell which situation was the real one.

However, once doubt arose, it was very easy for it to take root in the river of love. From that day onwards, this matter would remain in his heart.
