During the sentencing, I didn't go to watch. My lawyer handled everything for me. I heard that Pei Wen had become an orphan, and no family members were there to support him during the verdict. I watched the video my lawyer sent me, seeing Pei Wen in prison garb, handcuffed and shackled. I watched him cry and apologize, saying he understood his mistakes. As I saw Pei Wen being taken away by the guards, my heart felt utterly devoid of any emotion. The three years of our relationship came to an end just like that. In fact, Pei Wen had already become a stranger in my heart.
I sold everything I owned; anything that could be sold from my home was gone. My parents supported me through this; they suggested I come back home for a while. My lawyer was busy handling the divorce proceedings. Pei Wen and I got divorced, with him leaving empty-handed, while I remained free. On my way back, I saw Chen Duo. He waved at me, and I smiled back. We exchanged contact information. Pei Wen's chapter was closed. As for the person who tried to harm me, I would not let him off easily.
The day before handing over the house, I cleaned it thoroughly. Every corner was filled with memories as I tidied up with reluctance. In the end, I only took one thing with me. It was regrettable that I lost my child; I couldn't keep it during the third month of pregnancy. My parents were worried about my feelings; when they initially urged me to terminate the pregnancy, I had been angry with them. Now, they could only let me be alone in my room, not daring to disturb me.
I lay flat on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling until night fell, and the room remained dimly lit. In this quiet atmosphere, memories flooded back as I picked up the only memento I brought from "home." It was a black box. When opened, it revealed a pair of colored contact lenses—one blue and one brown. The pupils were tiny; wearing them made it seem as if they occupied only a quarter of my eyes, looking rather eerie. Now, these lenses lay quietly in the box, staring back at me in a rigid manner—just like before.
I discovered that Pei Wen had cheated on me. There was a lipstick mark on my clothes; somehow it had been imprinted without leaving any trace behind. But I knew Pei Wen must have prepared meticulously for this day. Sitting on the sofa, I found myself lost in thought for a long time. His actions were not just a betrayal to me but also a profound disrespect to our marriage. He even made me feel that his infidelity stemmed from issues with my taste and aesthetics. Yet I did not lose my composure; I would not divorce him in the way he expected.
I began to recall how our wedding had unfolded—my parents never pressured Pei Wen into buying cars or houses; they simply accepted thirty thousand in betrothal gifts from him, which they later gave to me for safekeeping. My parents purchased both the car and house along with my dowry, totaling seven hundred thousand. Over the years, Pei Wen took his salary and threw it all into his research under the guise of pursuing his career while leaving all living expenses and daily costs to me. Not only did he show no gratitude for this arrangement, but he also thought about using my money to support his mistress? How could there be such shameless people in this world? I absolutely could not get divorced just like that; otherwise, wouldn’t it mean splitting everything down the middle? What would happen to me and my child? After all these years of hard work, why should they benefit from it?
