After Escaping My Paranoid Wife's Control - Chapter 4
Still stuck in traffic on the Second Ring Road, Song Yu looked at the flashing name “Lunatic” on her phone screen. She raised an eyebrow slightly and swiped to answer.
Ji Mingsui’s voice was gentle, “Didn’t you say you were sleepy?”
“Why did you drive out again?”
She expressed her considerate concern for Song Yu, “The temperature drops at night, and it’s easy to catch a cold. Don’t stay out playing too late.”
Song Yu said nothing.
Back then, she had been deceived by Ji Mingsui’s gentle and considerate demeanor, stepping step by step into the golden cage Ji Mingsui had meticulously crafted for her.
Who could have known that Ji Mingsui was not harmlessly gentle at all, unlike how she appeared on the surface.
When they were together, Ji Mingsui was entirely a paranoid, twisted lunatic with an extreme desire for control.
“Wife, why are you ignoring me again?” Ji Mingsui’s voice carried a hint of a smile, sounding as if she were acting coquettishly, but in reality, she was expressing her dissatisfaction. “You snuck out in the middle of the night to watch DJ Mei Ling’s performance, and I didn’t even get angry with you. Yet, you’ve gone and gotten angry with me first.”
Song Yu was stunned to hear this, “What DJ Mei Ling?”
“Who is DJ Mei Ling?”
Ji Mingsui asked in confusion, “Weren’t you stuck on the Second Ring Road in the middle of the night just to go see DJ Mei Ling’s performance?”
Song Yu replied, “I don’t even know who DJ Mei Ling is.”
She frowned and questioned back, “Why on earth did you think I went to see DJ Mei Ling’s performance?”
Ji Mingsui had been with Song Yu for 11 years and understood Song Yu’s personality perfectly. If Song Yu had even the slightest bit of a guilty conscience toward her, her tone wouldn’t be this completely righteous and confident when questioning her back.
It seemed she had indeed misunderstood Song Yu.
“Tonight, DJ Mei Ling has a performance at the Wander Bar.”
Ji Mingsui explained to Song Yu, “It’s precisely because DJ Mei Ling has too many fans that the Second Ring Road is jammed like that in the middle of the night.”
She seized the opportunity to complain, “You’ve been staying up late recently to watch internet celebrity livestreams. I thought you were also a fan of DJ Mei Ling, so…”
Song Yu interrupted Ji Mingsui, “I watch gaming livestreams, not beautiful women livestreams.”
Song Yu took a deep breath, anger rushing straight to the top of her head.
In the past, Ji Mingsui had managed her extremely strictly and checked her phone very frequently. Whomever she sent a message to, whomever she called, what brand of clothes she bought, how many rounds of games she played a day…
Ji Mingsui knew everything like the back of her hand.
But look at how things were now; Ji Mingsui didn’t even know whether she was scrolling through gaming livestreams or beautiful women livestreams before going to bed each night.
Hearing this, Ji Mingsui blinked guiltily.
For the past six months, in order to handle those few cross-border M&A projects, she had indeed put a considerable portion of her mind into her work.
However, her working overtime every day was also to make more money and provide Song Yu with better living conditions.
Could it be that Song Yu had been throwing a tantrum with her these past few days because of this?
Resenting that she had been too busy lately?
That shouldn’t be the case.
No matter how busy she was, she would still carve out a few hours every day to accompany Song Yu.
Furthermore, she and Song Yu went on dates every week, went camping every month, and went on vacation every year…
Out of guilt, Ji Mingsui was anxious to win back a round, so she blurted out, “When you play games, you always order gaming companions.”
Sometimes, she would order three for a single round.
“I order technical companions,” Song Yu told Ji Mingsui, “The kind that protects my dog life and carries me into the final circle.”
She emphasized, “Not entertainment companions!”
Ji Mingsui blinked.
It was over.
Blame her anxiety to win back a round.
Now look at this; not only did she fail to win it back, but she had lost two rounds in a row.
“Then what did you run out for in the middle of the night?” Ji Mingsui very smartly shifted the topic.
Song Yu told Ji Mingsui, “I want to leave you and escape to a place where you can’t find me.”
“So you can never control me again.”
As it turned out, her luck was terrible. She ran right into DJ Mei Ling’s performance tonight, so her escape had failed.
Ji Mingsui was surprised, “Ah?”
“Stop playing dumb.” Song Yu suppressed her anger.
She said bluntly to Ji Mingsui, “I don’t love you.”
“I don’t want to be with you at all.”
Ji Mingsui finally understood the situation.
Song Yu had run away from home again.
“You don’t love me?” Ji Mingsui let out a cold laugh.
“Song Yu, how could you possibly not love me?”
She questioned, “If you don’t love me, how did you manage to do me for 6 hours in a single night?”
This single interrogation instantly took the fire out of Song Yu.
She raised her hand to scratch her nose, “That time…”
“That time was because I was drunk.”
“Heh.” Ji Mingsui let out another cold laugh.
“Fine.”
“That time you were drunk.”
She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Then when you weren’t drunk, how many hours a night did you do me?”
Song Yu, “…5 hours.”
