Chapter 382: 387 Love requires mutual respect_1

"It’s not that easy, right?" Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "By the time he makes something of himself, he will probably be in his forties or fifties, ready for retirement. No matter how you look at it, it’s a waste of talent! He was doing quite well in our school, a very steadfast and dependable person, I really believe he could be a good teacher!"

"Hmm, that’s not bad either. One’s life value cannot be measured by wealth, don’t you think?" Qin Muchuan spoke with a tone of someone who has seen through it all.

Lin Xiangwan shook her head again. "That’s because you already have everything. Cash in your hands makes everything easier. For people without money, the worst thing is not having money. The best thing is having money!"

Qin Muchuan felt sorry for the male student and asked another question. "Are you still in touch with him? If all else fails, he can come work at Huatai. I can offer him a salary that would allow him to get by in B City and then see how he performs?"

Helping others to the extent possible is always a good idea, after all.

This is something he learned from her.

"If I wanted to find him, I could. However, he probably already got used to living in the countryside. As I heard, he’s married and even has children!" Lin Xiangwan said.

"Oh..." Qin Muchuan understood. "Young people in the countryside do tend to get married early!"

Lin Xiangwan blinked, tilting her head and studying him intently. "Did you see your own reflection in him? I’m not talking about money, but how you think about women!"

As she spoke, she began to laugh, a laugh that was full of intrigue. "So you kindly want to offer him a job?"

"Ha-ha..." Qin Muchuan let out a strange laugh. "You’re really treating me like I’m a busybody! Me seeing my reflection in him? Where would I see a reflection? My situation is completely different from his!"

"What’s so different about it? He fell in love with a student while being a student himself, you fell in love with a student while being an instructor!" Lin Xiangwan retorted.

"Hehe--" Qin Muchuan laughed again, then fell silent.

Perhaps he did feel somewhat tongue-tied, remembering being charmed by Zhou Ziqing’s casual and carefree nature back then.

In retrospect, that was probably the very reason he liked her at the time.

Most men tend to share a common thought pattern: they assume that carefree girls must be kind-hearted.

It took him many years to realize this was not necessarily the case.

"Look at you, all out of words to say!" Lin Xiangwan was somewhat jealous, as he used to like someone else.

Women can be awfully petty.

Unwilling to be the butt of her jokes, Qin Muchuan quickly retorted. "Why is it different? Back then, I was in the military, and my time with her was extremely limited. If I could have been around her daily like you students, I wouldn’t have been blind to the fact she turned out like this!"

"Oh well, let’s just say you, the innocent soldier, were fooled back then!" Lin Xiangwan’s words were a way of letting go, both for him and for herself.

"Innocent soldier?" Qin Muchuan repeated the words, sounding quite offended.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan laughed.

Qin Muchuan still felt the need to explain himself. "Just to clarify, I was not some innocent soldier, I was quite clever. Otherwise, our kid wouldn’t be so clever, right?"

"Our child takes after me!" Lin Xiangwan emphasized again.

"Of course, he’s like his father!"

"No!" Lin Xiangwan continued to argue the point with him, and this point had indeed been debated many times. "Haven’t you watched American popular science videos? Scientists have done the research, kids get their EQ from their fathers and their IQ from their mothers!"

"Really? Find it and show me one day!"

Lin Xiangwan rolled her eyes at him. "Doesn’t the truth prove it? Why are the kids I give birth to so smart, but that other..."

What was once an amicable atmosphere grew cold as she misspoke.

"Sorry, I overstepped again!" Lin Xiangwan stuck out her tongue!

Qin Muchuan chuckled. "It’s okay!"

The car continued to move forward, and they were almost home.

Lin Xiangwan suddenly laughed. "You say that things can’t always be seen from the bright side, but I still want to say, maybe things are good, maybe one day you will discover, the child is not yours!"

Qin Muchuan pursed his lips tightly. "I hope so!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at his expression, then continued. "However, even if Duoduo is not your daughter, in case anything happened to that child, we should help. We’re doing it for the child, not the adults, as children are always innocent. Especially when little Duoduo smiles at me, my heart feels heavy!"

Qin Muchuan laughed at her straightforward kindness. "Thank you for saying that!"

"Your words hold true that we shouldn’t cling to the past. If you ever face a problem, I’m here to overcome it with you. But, I have to emphasize that you can’t go behind my back and deal with Zhou Ziqing, I couldn’t bear that!"

"Don’t worry, you respect me this much, how could I not respect you!" Qin Muchuan freed one hand and pulled her closer to him.

With a wife like this in his life, what other regrets could he have?

His only feeling was probably happiness!

"Alright...

.........

No sooner had Zhou Ziqing seen off Qin Muchuan and Lin Xiangwan, she received another call. It was the same man from last time.

"What more do you want?" She asked impatiently.

"I miss you, come out!" The man on the other end of the line said defiantly, as if Zhou Ziqing was his possession.

"But the child is home alone, I really can’t go out!" Zhou Ziqing replied.

The man on the phone wasn’t willing to let her off the hook and asked another way. "In that case, would you like me to come up?"

Zhou Ziqing glanced at the time, it was after ten in the evening.

Feeling rather lonely, she said. "Since you want to come up, then come on up, as long as you’re not afraid of your wife catching you!"

"Why would I be afraid of that old hag? Wait for me; I’ll come up and keep you company, you little temptress!"

And with that, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Ziqing put the phone down, her face expressionless.

It wasn’t their first time together anyway. If he wanted to come up to see her, then why not?

Soon enough, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Ziqing opened the door, and the man barged right in.

As soon as the door closed, he embraced her and pecked her cheek. "You see, it would have been great if you had let me in sooner, instead of sneaking around and booking hotel rooms!"

Zhou Ziqing glanced at him, clearly irritated. "What, are you worried about spending money on hotels now?!"
