I pulled the corners of my mouth, subconsciously thinking of rejecting.

But considering the fact that my husband was going to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with another woman, I suddenly felt indignant: "Alright, wait for me."

Hanging up the phone, I drove the coolest off-road vehicle in the garage to my best friend's house. After picking her up, we headed to the bar she owned.

Li Zimu teased, "How come you are willing to come out today?"

My heart felt bitter and I replied indifferently, "Don't mention it, it's all because sister-in-law had something to do, so my husband went to help."

"Let loose tonight!"

Li Zimu understood what I meant and reserved a private seating area for me, opening a few bottles of good wine.

I opened a bottle and started drinking, and as the alcohol kicked in, I grabbed the guy next to me and headed to the dance floor.

In the dim light, the bewildered look in my eyes was like a hazy phantom, completely out of control.

After a song finished, I sobered up a bit, returned to my seat and began scrolling through my social media feed on my phone.

I looked at the latest post, a picture of my sister-in-law, Cui Yilian, gently smiling with a big bunch of fresh and tender lotus flowers, looking like life was good. Her caption read:

【I have a special love for lotus flowers.】

She even left a comment in the section:

【Thank you, brother, for remembering that I like lotus flowers.】

It seemed like a tiny thorn lightly pricked my heart, fleeting but the pain spread throughout my body, making my hands and feet cold.

I squeezed the phone so hard that my fingers turned white, and I didn't even hear Li Zimu calling me.

It wasn't until she snatched my phone that I snapped out of it.

Li Zimu couldn't help but blurt out, "Your husband is really clueless, huh? He actually gave your sister-in-law lotus flowers?"

"Your sister-in-law is indeed living up to her name, a hypocrite."

I didn't say a word, my throat felt like it was filled with cotton, unable to swallow or spit it out.

Without hesitation, I grabbed my phone and took a picture of the lively dance floor, posted it as a social media update with the caption:

【The carnival of Chinese Valentine's Day.】

After this operation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Zimu gave me a thumbs up.

I bitterly pulled the corners of my mouth, so the bunch of lotus flowers was also left over to be given to me?

Afterwards, I decisively turned off my phone and focused on drinking.
