Self-blame

During the time when Pei Di was not at home, I took care of my sick mother-in-law wholeheartedly.

In my heart, I always thought that Pei Di would definitely come back to be with me after he finished dealing with the company's affairs.

With my careful care, my mother-in-law was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.

I kept comforting her every day, telling her not to worry and that we should believe in Pei Di's ability to handle the problem.

However, as the days passed, there was still no news from Pei Di.

I began to feel uneasy and anxious, and my anticipation gradually turned into disappointment.

Whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I always shed tears silently, missing Pei Di who is far away.

My mother-in-law saw it all and felt pain in her heart. She patted my hand gently and told me to be strong.

But I really don’t know how long I can hold on. The days without Pei Di feel like years.

That day, the doorbell suddenly rang and I went to open the door excitedly.

As expected, I was not disappointed. Pei Di came back. Seeing Pei Di, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, I excitedly rushed up to hug him.

I was so excited that I completely forgot that my mother-in-law and father-in-law were still there.

After a moment, I let go of Pei Di somewhat awkwardly.

He smiled, touched my head, and then greeted my parents-in-law.

During dinner, everyone was very happy and I felt the warmth I had long missed.

After dinner, Pei Di and I returned to the room, and I couldn’t help asking him whether the company’s issues had been resolved.

He said lightly that everything had been taken care of and asked me not to worry.

Then he hugged me tightly and kissed me passionately, and I could feel his love for me.

That night, we talked a lot and almost made up for the days we had been apart.

Although there are still many unknowns in the future, I know that as long as we support each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties.

In the days that followed, we lived a simple and happy life.

Pei Di also worked harder, hoping to give me a better life.

However, one night, Pei Di received a mysterious call.

His face became serious, and after hanging up the phone, he told me that the company had encountered some troubles.

He needs to go on a business trip for a while to solve this problem.

Although I was a little worried, I still chose to support him.

I told him that I would take good care of myself and my family at home and that he could focus on his work.

When Pei Di was on business trips, I would call him every day to ask about his progress.

Although we are far apart, our feelings are getting stronger.

Pei Di had originally agreed to take me on the business trip, but later for various reasons, he had to go alone.

In just one month, Pei Di was always on business trips, either on a business trip or on his way to a business trip.

During the first few days of my business trip, he contacted me every day, but later on, we contacted each other less and less.

I noticed something was wrong, but I just couldn't tell what was different.

I told my mother-in-law about my concerns.

My mother-in-law comforted me and said that Pei Di might be too busy with work and asked me not to think too much about it.

But my woman's sixth sense told me that things were not that simple, so I decided to investigate secretly.

I hired a private detective to follow Pei Di, and soon got a report on his recent whereabouts.

The report showed that he did not go on a business trip abroad, but had been active locally.

Moreover, he had close contact with a strange woman.

Seeing this, my heart sank to the bottom. Did Pei Di betray me?

I didn't want to believe this fact, so I decided to go to him in person to find out.

Early that morning, I got myself ready to go to Pei Di Company in person to inquire about the situation.

Just as I walked to the front door and opened it, Pei Di just happened to come back.

He looked so haggard that I felt so distressed, and all my previous resentment disappeared instantly.

I hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Di shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay, just a little tired."

I looked at his tired appearance and a surge of tenderness welled up in my heart.

Maybe I am too suspicious, I told myself secretly.

However, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of the lipstick mark on his collar, my mood instantly hit rock bottom.

I took a deep breath, tried to keep myself calm, and asked, "What have you been busy with these days? Why did you lie to me?"

Pei Di's eyes flickered, he lowered his head, not daring to look me in the eye.

After a long silence, he finally said, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't go on a business trip. That woman and I..."

He paused, then continued, "We are just business partners, but I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I lied."

I sneered and interrupted him: "Business partners will stick together every day? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

After saying that, I turned around and prepared to leave.

Pei Di quickly pulled me back and explained, "It's not what you think. Let me explain..."

At this time, a luxury car drove over, the window rolled down, revealing the face of the strange woman.

She looked at us with a smug smile on her face.

I glared at her, broke free from Pei Di's hand, and walked away without looking back.

Tears blurred my vision, and my heart ached as if it was torn apart...

Pei Di hugged me tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

This is the first time I've seen him cry in all the years I've known him.

"Wife, listen to me. I am having a hard time. You have to forgive me. This was not my intention."

"I assure you, there is really nothing between her and me. We are just simple business partners."

"You are the only one in my heart. Apart from you, I will never find someone who loves me so much. You must have faith in our relationship."

"The company is facing a huge financial problem this time, and that is not a small amount of money."

"In order not to worry you and my parents, I chose to take on everything."

Pei Di explained to me helplessly.

"Husband, we are a legal couple. If you have any difficulties, you should tell me so that we can face them together."

"What do you mean you took on all the responsibility by yourself? Do you not trust me or do you not want me to share the responsibility with you?"

I said to Pei Di with heartache.

"Wife, I know you've been wronged by me all these years, and I don't want you to continue to wrong yourself."

"I am a man, and I should take responsibility for these things. Fortunately, everything was resolved as expected."

"Wife, I'm so tired. Don't you know how I managed to get through these days when you were not around?"

Pei Di said to me with pretended affection.

"Honey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. It's my fault." I apologized.

At this time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law came over after hearing the noise, and when they saw my father-in-law, I quickly let go of his hand.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you two worry." Pei Di said with a haggard face.

The parents-in-law felt very distressed when they saw their son with a stubbled beard.

Go take a shower and have a good sleep first.
