Chapter 125 - 123: Throwing Cold Water

Lu Heng frowned slightly, contemplating how to talk to Cheng.

The online audience, seeing this, got even more excited.

"Have you guys noticed? Whenever the master doesn’t speak immediately, it definitely means there’s a big twist coming!"

"Master, please hurry up, I can barely wait!"

"Bro, are you gonna log onto your main account too?"

"Sorry, I’m a little fairy who only consumes and never outputs!"

"How should I put it, Brother Cheng’s ordeal feels oddly familiar to me."

"Did your wife cheat on you too? Flirting with other men?"

"Could it be a task from the master?"

"Damn! Now that you mention it, I suddenly had an epiphany! Thinking about it, it sure does seem like it!"

"So, you’re saying that middle-aged man is Cheng’s wife’s boss?"

"Hiss... this world is too terrifying! I’ve imagined an adult game storyline already."

"Trash! I’ve managed to concoct a novel of three hundred thousand words!"

"Bro, you win! Please send it to me privately..."

Cheng stared at the barrage of comments on the screen, dumbfounded.

His expression shifted from dark, gradually turning white, then green, and finally back to black.

This damn thing hurts more than actual cheating, doesn’t it?

But on second thought, it kind of made sense.

As someone who had watched countless films, he couldn’t help but imagine a few adult film plots himself.

"Master, is my marriage with my wife really just a mission?"

Cheng asked in a slightly tearful voice, looking utterly devastated.

"Ahem!"

Lu Heng habitually coughed lightly, then shook his head and said, "Fear not, young friend. Your wife’s situation has nothing to do with any master’s mission!"

"Really?"

Cheng’s eyes widened instantly, finding it hard to believe.

At that moment, his mood was like someone diagnosed with terminal cancer suddenly being told the report was wrong and they’re actually fine.

A narrow escape!

The audience, on the other hand, frowned upon hearing this.

According to Cheng’s previous descriptions, the "master’s task" explanation seemed the most logical.

But the master denied it.

"If it’s not a master’s mission, then it’s just plain infidelity?"

"Probably! Looks like we’ve been watching too many dramas and got things mixed up."

"If it were straightforward infidelity, the master would definitely hesitate."

"The master just said Brother Cheng can temporarily rest assured. That ’temporarily’ is quite telling!"

"Could there be an even more thrilling twist?"

"Forget it, I won’t guess anymore; my head hurts from guessing."

"I can’t take it; my scalp feels itchy. Is my brain growing?"

"No, it’s probably piles! I suggest visiting a proctology hospital."

"I’m trembling with excitement, can’t wait to know the final answer!"

Lu Heng unhurriedly said: "Actually, the woman you saw isn’t your wife!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Cheng was completely dumbstruck.

"What do you mean the woman I saw isn’t my wife?"

His mind was on the brink of overheating, unable to figure out what this meant.

The audience was equally baffled.

"Whoa! I got it! That woman must be a bigamist!"

"Cheng’s wife married the middle-aged man first, then Cheng. Is that the sequence?"

"What for? Isn’t bigamy illegal?"

"Maybe she’s scamming for wedding gifts? I remember women back home did this to scam single men."

"This explanation sort of makes sense, but not really!"

"If she were a gift scammer, she’d take the money and run!"

"Is this woman planning a reverse harem?"

"Ahem... Married to three husbands? That’s kinda spicy!"

"Keep it secret, and husbands are everywhere!"

"This marriage method could be lucrative! If one husband contributes five thousand yuan, ten would make fifty thousand, a hundred..."

"A hundred? Can you handle it?"

"I get it! This is a shared wife situation!"

"666666! Should I start a shared husband project?"

"Please contact me! My nickname is ’Sai Lao Ai’, and I’m willing to contribute!"

"Rasputin of Dragon Country, self-invited!"

The online audience’s various speculations were quite a mixed bag.

And after discussing for a while, the topic started to drift away.

Cheng frowned, pondering over the audience’s guesses.

Bigamy?

Impossible, right?

If it really was bigamy, the marriage registry would have pointed it out!

Wedding gift scams?

Even more impossible!

Because he didn’t give any wedding gifts when they got married.

"Master, I just can’t figure it out."

"Please, enlighten me more!"

Cheng scratched his head, smiling bitterly.

Lu Heng nodded slightly but didn’t continue on the previous topic; instead, he asked: "Do you know your wife’s family situation?"

"More or less!"

Cheng nodded without hesitation and said, "My wife is an only daughter, her parents died in a car accident many years ago."

"Her relatives fought with her over the accident compensation, and the relationship was bad."

"During the wedding, few people from her family came, only a distant cousin of hers."

"I considered that back then, so I didn’t make a big deal out of it..."

After Cheng finished talking, Lu Heng shook his head and said, "Your wife lied to you!"

"Her parents indeed died in a car accident, but she’s not an only daughter."

"She has an elder sister!"

"A twin sister!"

"This..."

Cheng, hearing this, looked stunned.

Then his previously distressed expression quickly turned into a joyful smile.

"Master, I understand what you mean!"

"My wife didn’t cheat on me!"

"The woman I saw that day was actually my wife’s sister, right?"

After three days, he finally showed a genuinely happy smile.

Wife didn’t cheat!

He was overthinking!

The audience hearing this answer also felt a bit surprised.

But alongside the surprise, there was still lingering doubt.

"Congratulations, brother, you mistook the person; sis-in-law didn’t cheat!"

"Still doesn’t feel right! Why did sis-in-law say she was an only daughter during the wedding?"

"Yeah! Why hide having a twin sister?"

"There’s definitely something fishy about this!"

"The master hasn’t finished speaking, could Brother Ju be celebrating too soon?"

"I feel there’s still a twist to this story!"

"Maybe sis-in-law is hiding something, otherwise why not let her twin sister make an appearance?"

However, just as Cheng was filled with joy, Lu Heng suddenly threw a cold bucket of water over him.

"The night before, the person lying in the same bed as you wasn’t your wife either..."
