Just as I was falling apart, a child’s voice sounded.

I jolted and turned to see a small figure running towards me!

My eyes widened, and I couldn’t believe my eyes!

“Qi… Qiqi?!” I exclaimed in surprise and hugged Qiqi tightly.

“Daddy, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come here alone. I made you and Mommy worried,” Qiqi said with a sob as he bent over my shoulder.

“No, no, no! It’s not your fault! It’s all Daddy’s fault!” I choked up and hugged my son tightly, afraid that he would disappear.

It wasn’t a dream!

I didn’t lose my son!

A delicate figure quickly walked over. It was Teacher Qin!

“I came from there and happened to see Qiqi sitting at the stone tablet over there. He said that he didn’t have the money to take a cab home and didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, nothing happened,” Teacher Qin said with a smile.

“Thank you, Teacher Qin! Thank you, Teacher Qin!” I thanked her repeatedly with tears in my eyes.

How embarrassing! How embarrassing!

To cry in front of a beautiful lady, my image had probably been ruined in her heart.

But I really couldn’t control myself!

If she hadn’t bumped into Qiqi, I might have really lost my son forever!

“Don’t cry anymore. Isn’t Qiqi fine now?” Teacher Qin didn’t mock me at all. Instead, she comforted me softly.

I tried my best to keep my emotions in check. It took me a while to recover. I wiped my tears, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Teacher Qin, sorry. I’ve embarrassed myself,” I said awkwardly.

“No one says that a man can’t cry. You cried because of Qiqi. I think you’re much better than many parents. This is a display of responsibility and duty,” Teacher Qin said gently. “No wonder Qiqi usually performs so well in class. Now it seems that he really follows his father.”

“My daddy is the best!” Qiqi struggled out of my arms and turned to me. His expression and tone were as if he was talking about the most indisputable truth in the world.

Teacher Qin and I couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing for a while, I pulled Qiqi aside and asked him why he was suddenly here.

Qiqi lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Daddy, you and Mommy have been fighting a lot lately. Grandma said a lot of awful things. I… I don’t want you two to fight again. Lingling said that as long as I come here and put on the universal locks, Daddy and Mommy will be together forever. That’s why I came here. Daddy, I’m sorry…”

I knew Lingling. She was my son’s classmate in kindergarten, and she was his best friend.

My heart melted. I couldn’t help but kiss my son’s face. “It’s okay. I don’t blame you. In the future, Daddy and Mommy will definitely take note and won’t quarrel any more!”

Qiqi was delighted and asked excitedly, “Can we go to the aquarium tomorrow?”

Seeing how excited he was, I couldn’t bear to refuse and immediately nodded with a smile.

“By the way, you haven’t told Qiqi’s mommy that you have found him, right? Quickly give her a call. Don’t let her be worried,” Teacher Qin suddenly reminded me.

“Bring Mommy here! Look at the locks I’ve hung there!” My son also cried out in excitement.

I was stunned.

However, I still took out her phone and called my wife.

After waiting for half a minute, the call connected. My wife’s voice came from the other end. “Zhang Teng, how is it? Did you find Qiqi?”

I thought of my son’s words and softened my voice. “I’ve found him. She’s at the Bridge of Hearts. My son has helped us to put a pair of universal locks. He hopes that we can have a harmonious relationship. Do you want to come and take a look?”

Unexpectedly, my wife on the other end exploded in fury. “Are you crazy! He’s running around alone. What if something happens? Why don’t you teach him a lesson? Why are you still looking at the locks?! All right, just bring him home!”

I froze as if I had been drenched in ice water!

That was her reaction!

My son couldn’t hear my wife over the phone. He pulled me close and asked expectantly, “Daddy, when is Mommy coming?”

My heart ached. Just as I was about to persuade my wife again, a weak voice sounded from the phone. “Why are you still talking? Do you still want to try this ring?”

Shockingly, it was the bald adulterer’s voice!

That person was obviously not close to her phone, so his voice sounded especially weak.

However, I definitely couldn’t have heard that voice wrongly!

It was definitely the bald man’s voice!

My wife’s voice turned into a whisper. “Right away. Wait for me for a few seconds. I’ll hang up after a few words.”

It seemed like she had pressed her hand against the phone’s speaker.

I started to tremble.

My wife wasn’t shopping with her best friend.

Instead, she was with the bald jerk!

She shopped until she forgot about our son and almost lost him!

Rage surged through my body!
