"This question, it saddens me every time it's brought up." Chu Wei's smile faded, his face adding a few traces of hardship. "You see, judging by my qualifications, you wouldn't believe I'm unmarried. I'm married, but I had an unhappy marriage. That's the darkest side of my life I can't bear to face..."
Chu Wei spoke slowly, discussing with Lin Weiwei how dull and aggravating his wife was, how tenacious and tolerant he was as a man.
A younger woman might have been moved by his words, sympathizing with his misfortune, trying to console and comfort him.
Chu Wei waited expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Weiwei remained completely indifferent, coldly sipping her coffee, as if listening to a soap opera plot.
Behind Lin Weiwei, Bai Xiaosheng drank his coffee, barely concealing his amusement.
