"Huang De Han had an unpleasant encounter with San Er, and when he returned home and saw Li Man, a surge of anger rose within him.
It was strange indeed. He had drugged Li Man, but she didn't show any signs of being affected. He suspected that he had bought fake drugs and went on to scold the person who sold them.
The person selling the drugs protested loudly, claiming that the drugs were genuine, but Huang De Han didn't believe him at all.
If the drugs were real, why didn't Li Man have any reaction after drinking them?
In reality, Li Man didn't know whether the drugs were genuine or not because she hadn't actually consumed them.
Ever since Li Man listened to the recording, she had been on guard against Huang De Han.
The night before last, Li Man was sitting on the sofa watching TV when Huang De Han suddenly brought her a glass of milk and said in a soft voice, 'Darling, I heated up a glass of milk for you. Drink it while it's hot.'
No good deed goes unpunished, and no act is innocent!
Li Man knew that there was something wrong with the glass of milk, but instead of exposing Huang De Han, she pretended to be deeply touched and said, 'Thank you, dear. I thought you didn't love me anymore, but I didn't expect you to still care about me.'
Huang De Han smiled awkwardly, scratching his head and said, 'What are you talking about? You're my wife, isn't it natural for me to care about you?'
'Yes, dear, you're right. We should be good to each other. I won't argue with you anymore,' Li Man said affectionately.
In his heart, Huang De Han rolled his eyes and silently thought, 'What a chatterbox! So much nonsense over drinking a glass of milk.' But on the surface, he smiled and said, 'Yes, we should be good to each other from now on. Drink up.'
'Okay,' Li Man brought the cup to her lips, about to drink it, but suddenly she put it down again and said, 'Honey, there are grapes in the fridge. Could you get them for me? Thank you.'
Seeing that Li Man was about to drink it, but then put the cup down, Huang De Han was getting anxious. Although he didn't want to get the grapes, he couldn't refuse either. He was afraid that if he refused, Li Man wouldn't drink it. Reluctantly, he went to get the grapes.
'Okay, I'll get them for you. Drink the milk while it's hot.'
While Huang De Han turned around to get the grapes, Li Man quickly poured the milk into the crevices of the sofa cushion. Their sofa was fabric, and it absorbed water quite well, so later she could just take it apart and clean it. After pouring it quickly, she held the empty cup to her lips and lightly sipped, leaving some milk residue on her lips.
Huang De Han came back with the grapes and saw Li Man placing the cup down, with a bit of milk stain on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the empty cup, Huang De Han was delighted. 'You finished it?'
'Yes, I finished it. Thank you, dear.'
Huang De Han didn't have a trace of suspicion. He sat down next to Li Man and engaged in a conversation with her, talking about random topics.
An hour passed, and Li Man appeared normal. She watched TV while eating grapes, without any issues."
Another hour passed, and Li Man finished all the grapes without showing any unusual signs.
Huang De Han couldn't sit still any longer and tentatively asked, "Wife, do you feel hot? Why do I suddenly feel so hot?"
"Hot? No, I don't feel hot. We have the air conditioning on, how could it be hot? If you feel hot, take a shower. You won't feel hot anymore after you shower."
"..."
Huang De Han reluctantly went to take a shower.
In fact, for the past few days, Huang De Han had secretly put drugs in Li Man's water kettle. But he found that Li Man seemed fine.
He felt puzzled and thought the dosage was not enough, so he increased it several times and put it in milk, personally handing it to Li Man to drink.
But even after Li Man drank the milk, she had no reaction.
Huang De Han felt like he had been tricked by the person who sold him the drugs. After taking a shower, he called and cursed the person out.
Every day, Li Man waited for Huang De Han to go to work before getting up. After washing up, she went out to look for work and didn't even have breakfast at home.
Every day, she ate outside and only came back home after finishing her meals.
She carried a thermos with her every day to get water from outside to drink. She stopped drinking the water at home after listening to the recording.
