The first rain of autumn went on for an entire day. It was expected to lighten up by night, but it turned out to only poured harder.
A thunderous roar, and the sky lit up briefly.
It felt like even the house shook a few times.
Yu Duo was leaning up against the headboard of the bed. She was reading and applying facial mask at the same time. The thunder outside didn't bother her a bit. In fact, she was so interested by it that she even grabbed her phone, pulled open the curtains and was going to take a few pictures to post on Weibo.
Coincidentally, another lightning struck down and lit up half the sky, and Yu Duo just happened to capture it all.
Yu Duo's handle on Weibo was "The Luxurious Life of a Wealthy Wife". A handle that nobody knew about but was quite fitting.
She had been posting her normal daily activities on Weibo from time to time. Something low key, nothing that would let others figure out who she was, but just enough to be able to tell that she really was some wealthy wife.
For that reason, she had accumulated also 200,000 followers in a three-year period.
As soon as she posted her pictures, she immediately received several dozens of comments, all of them grossly complimentary.
"OMG. That was a great picture! What a wondering lightning strike!"
"This is by far the best lightning I have ever seen!"
"Jie jie, do you live in City S? Me too! That was such a strong thunder and lightning! I am so scared! QAQ"
(T/N: jie jie - older sister. A nickname for any female around your age but slightly older.
QAQ - represents sad face)
"Such powerful lightning, are you not scared, jie jie?"
Yu Duo responded under the comment that asked whether she was afraid with, "But look at this lightning, it's bright and sparkly~"
Reading the comment that she had added, even Fu Sinian, standing to one side, squinted.
Afraid?
Did she look frightened at all?
He recalled the past. Every time there was a thunderstorm, Yu Duo would run to him frantically in her bare feet with her eyes reddened. She would come from the bedroom into the study and cling onto him, shivering and telling him how frightened she was.
Every time there was a thunder, she'd even let out a loud shriek and bury her head in his chest while wrapping her arms around him tightly and wouldn't let go no matter what.
She had seemed sooooo frightened back then. She needed to be comforted in order to fall asleep. Now that he was gone, not only was she not afraid of thunders anymore, she even had the mood to lift up the curtains and take pictures?
Did that mean she had been lying to him this entire time?
Fu Sinian's eyes darkened as he examined his wife in front of him that was nothing like how he remembered her to be.
He must find out how much more about her was fake!
After posting on Weibo, Yu Duo put down her cellphone and got ready for bed. That's when her stomach grumbled in a very embarrassing way.
In order to keep up with the appearance of being depressed and has a lack of appetite, she had barely eaten anything. Today was the day of the funeral service; she barely had two mouthfuls of rice before she said she had no more appetite.
Even though she was so hungry that she could feel her chest touching her back, she still forced herself to put the chopsticks down and returned to the bedroom mournfully.
This was payback time.
She was starving.
She looked at the clock, it's 11 o'clock.
She figured that Aunty Lian was probably already in bed; and there should still be food in the refrigerator!
Thinking of that, she crawled out of bed in her bare feet and gently opened the bedroom door. She stuck her head out and looked around, listening for any noises.
