Mo Xiaoxiao’s panicked expression caught Zhong Teng’s eye. He ignored her, patted the part of his sleeve she had pulled and strode away.
It was time for Mo Xiaomo to get off work again. Zhong Teng drove to the hospital early and waited at the door. He looked at the beautiful figure coming out.
When he was about to get off and greet Mo Xiaomo, Mo Xiaomo trotted off to the flower bed and hugged a gentle man.
Zhong Teng felt that his heart was torn a bit at that moment.
Who’s that man?
Zhong Teng watched angrily, clutching his aching heart, as Mo Xiaomo followed the man into the car and gradually disappeared.
“Bang!” he banged the steering wheel and started the car to follow, to see where she and the adulterer were going.
On second thought, with the child in his hand, did she dare to go behind her back and have a love affair with another man?
Zhong Teng’s face fell and he turned around to head home.
When the clock struck 9, Zhong Teng took Qingbao back to his apartment, but Mo Xiaomo still did not come back, without even a phone call.
Zhong Teng watched the clock tick on his phone, his face getting more and more sullen.
The familiar bell finally rang. Zhong Teng sat down and pressed the answer button hastily, but he pretended to be calm and indifferent.
“What’s up?”
“Is Qingbao asleep?” Mo Xiaomo’s voice was low and thoughtful. It seemed that she was worried about something.
“You still know you should care about your son?” As soon as he said it, Zhong Teng felt like a dissatisfied housewife.
“Put him on the phone…” Mo Xiaomo recognized Zhong Teng’s unhappiness but she didn’t want to make any explanation.
“Come back if you want to say anything. Qingbao is asleep!” Zhong Teng said in disgust, ready to hang up.
But Qingbao, who had been playing Transformers in the room, was already outside, Shouting “Mommy” into his phone. Zhong Teng had no choice but to hand the phone to Qingbao reluctantly.
“Mommy, why aren’t you home yet?” Qingbao was not happy.
“Oh… Really?” Qingbao was excited.
“Ah… well!” Qingbao surprised.
“Okay, Qingbao knows.” It was heavy.
“Good-bye, Mommy!” Qingbao was quiet.
Zhong Teng pricked up his ears to distinguish what was on the phone, but he still couldn’t hear clearly. Seeing Qingbao’s expression fluctuated, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Daddy, Qingbao will be leaving you for a few days.” Qingbao’s voice was very sad.
“Why? I don’t want to leave Qingbao!” Zhong Teng was stunned, like a child.
“Qingbao is going to City Z with mommy tomorrow, maybe for a few days…” Qingbao touched Zhong Teng’s face as if to comfort his dad.
“What are you doing in City Z?” Asked Zhong Teng, frowning as his heart sank deeper and deeper.
“Daddy’s back. We’re going with Daddy.” There was a light flashing in Qingbao’s clear eyes, but in a flash, it became heavy.
“What??” Zhong Teng jumped up straight from the sofa.
That man Mo Xiaomo was hugging this afternoon is Qingbao’s daddy?
His number one rival in love has turned up!
“You don’t want me?” Zhong Teng watched Qingbao anxiously, an unspeakable emotion running through his chest.
Qingbao looked at Zhong Teng with a puzzled look. Then he put his little arms around Zhong Teng and said firmly, “Qingbao and Daddy will be together forever, but Qingbao must go home with that Daddy.”
Qingbao didn’t tell Zhong Teng the reason why he should leave for several days so Zhong Teng didn’t ask.
As the sky darkened, Qingbao was sleeping peacefully, while Zhong Teng was sitting in the living room without a trace of sleep.
Why isn’t that woman back?
It was not until the dawn came that the door creaked.
Zhong Teng rubbed his swollen eyes and stared at the door like a hunter.
Mo Xiaomo tiptoed in, groped for her shoes, and was about to go to the bathroom to wash. The lamp beside the sofa snapped, and the dark living room suddenly became bright.
“Did you stay up all night, or woke up too early?” Startled, Mo Xiaomo raised her hand to block the light.
Zhong Teng’s tall figure was already close to her, but he paused as he pushed Mo Xiaomo against the wall.
“Come back with the smelling of a man’s cigarette. Mo Xiaomo, did you have a good night?”
