Chapter 34: She Was With the Bald Adulterer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

My wife’s voice sounded from the phone again. “I still have something on. I can’t talk anymore. Quickly bring our son home. Don’t lose him. If you lose my precious son, you can’t even pay with your life!”

Hearing her commanding voice, I almost fainted from anger!

It was clearly her who almost lost our son. Now, it seemed like it was my fault!

“Wait! Honey, I thought you went out to find our son just now?” I grit my teeth and blurt out, “Where are you now?”

“Zhang Teng, what do you mean by that?! Of course, I was looking for my son! I went to his favorite places and ran around until my legs were about to break. And now you’re accusing me of not looking for him? Are you even human?! Do you have a heart?” My wife on the other end of the line acted as if I had lit a fuse and she became agitated.

“Just tell me where you are now!” In front of my son, I could only suppress my anger as I asked softly.

“Are you suspecting me? I’m at the drinks shop he loves to go to on Sky Road. Do you want me to show you a video to prove that I’m really here? Zhang Teng, don’t go too far!” my wife yelled angrily.

I almost screamed at my phone!

However, looking at my son and Teacher Qin, I finally overcame my anger and said, “It’s fine. Let’s leave it at that. I’ll bring my son home.”

Without waiting for her to respond, I hung up the call.

I immediately opened the locator app to locate my wife.

She wasn’t at Sky Road.

Shockingly, she was still at the same place as before, the huge shopping mall in the city!

I had no more doubts and I almost vomited blood from anger!

She had never looked for our son!

Instead, she had been shopping with the bald jerk!

Could it be that for this adulterer, she wouldn’t even care about her son?

Initially, I suspected that Qiqi was the son she and her adulterer had together.

From the looks of it, I was probably overthinking.

If Qiqi was the bald man and her child, how could she be so unfeeling?

Qiqi’s voice interrupted. “Daddy? Is Mommy coming?”

I snapped back to reality and turned off the app. I suppressed my emotions and forced a smile at Qiqi. “Qiqi, Mommy is busy with something important right now. She can’t come here. Why don’t you bring Daddy over to take a look?”

Qiqi revealed an obvious look of disappointment.

Beside him, Teacher Qin interjected, “I want to see it too, is that okay?”

Qiqi was a child after all. He forgot his disappointment immediately and happily pulled me with one hand and Teacher Qin with the other. He jumped up and down the bridge.

I felt a little embarrassed.

In the eyes of others, wouldn’t they misunderstand that Teacher Qin was Qiqi’s mother and my wife?

I stole a glance at her and noticed that although her face was slightly red, she didn’t reveal any unusual expression.

If I were to mention this matter now, it would seem a little intentional. I had no choice but to pretend not to notice and follow my son to look at the locks.

Looking at the locks covering the bridge, I suddenly had an urge.

I wanted to flip through all the locks on the bridge to see if my wife and the bald man’s names were among them!

But even if that was true, so what?

I smiled bitterly.

If it wasn’t mine, then nothing was going to happen.

After leaving the Bridge of Hearts and returning to the nearby parking lot, I said to Teacher Qin, “Teacher Qin, I’m really grateful to you this time. I made you travel so far.”

Teacher Qin pursed her lips and smiled. “How many times have you thanked me so far? I’m a teacher. Of course, I can’t let anything happen to my students. This is my duty.”

I can’t help but think wistfully.

Such a teacher was probably more responsible than the numerous teachers in school. She was too rare!

She was wise, kind, and generous.

If I had met her instead of my wife back then, then…

I quickly threw that thought out of my head.

How many what-ifs do people have in life?

Life wasn’t like a game. Once you made a mistake, you couldn’t start over.

No matter how arduous and difficult the path one had chosen, one could only continue walking it!

Rumble…

There was a sudden rumbling sound.

Teacher Qin and I looked at Qiqi in surprise.

Qiqi said shyly, “Daddy, I’m hungry…”

Teacher Qin and I glanced at each other and we laughed at the same time.

Indeed, it was almost past noon.

My son had rushed over here after class, and all his pocket money had been spent on buying locks and taking a cab. He definitely hadn’t eaten yet, so of course, he would be hungry.

He wasn’t the only one. Now that my anxiety had disappeared, my stomach growled.

He wasn’t the only one that hadn’t eaten yet. Teacher Qin and I also didn’t eat anything as we rushed to find him.

Teacher Qin suddenly clapped her hands and said, “Ah, why don’t we do this? Since everyone is hungry, why don’t we find a restaurant and have lunch?”

Since she had helped me to find Qiqi today, it made sense for me to treat her to a meal. I immediately said, “Sure, there’s a restaurant at Third Ring Road. It’s very good. My treat!”

Teacher Qin smiled sweetly. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I want to have a good meal today.”

Seeing her sweet smile, I couldn’t help but feel relaxed and happy. “It’s my honor to treat Teacher Qin to a meal. Normally, who knows how many people would wish to treat you to a meal..”
