Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

Zeng Li has an announcement to make tomorrow; she'll be flying to Shanghai to attend one.

In the room, Zeng Li reluctantly bid farewell to Qin Sheng, pulling her suitcase, before going downstairs to get into the company's van and preparing to head to the airport.

After Zeng left, Yuan Quan was the first to smile.

Because Zeng Li has been so busy lately, she has been secretly taking on a lot of the blame for him.

So now is the time when you've tasted the marrow and become most addicted.

In front of the sofa, Yuan Quan squeezed in next to Qin Sheng and sat down close to him.

Then she looked at Qin Sheng with a pair of alluring eyes, a half-smile on her face.

"How so?"

Yuan Quan has now figured out Qin Sheng's patterns.

His reservoir fills up every two days.

When it's full, you want to drain it.

If he lets Zeng Li have water, he won't bother with him anymore.

If I hadn't given Zeng Li any leeway, he would have readily agreed to the invitation if I had made the offer myself.

Zeng Li has been extremely busy these past few days, coming home very late every day.

I pressed my ear against the wall and listened, but I didn't hear anything.

This means that Qin Sheng's reservoir is now full.

I'll definitely give myself some money.

Sure enough, Qin Sheng nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave a little later."

Yuan Quan placed her hand on Qin Sheng's chest.

"Ah Li isn't home, are we really going to go to a hotel? We might as well just stay home."

Qin Sheng shook his head seriously.

"No, we have to go to the hotel."

"Why? If you're worried about being exposed in the master bedroom, you can come to my bedroom. Surely nothing will go wrong in my bedroom."

Qin Sheng still resolutely shook his head.

"No, we have to go to the hotel."

Qin Sheng naturally couldn't tell Yuan Quan that in his previous life he had an experience where his girlfriend went on a business trip, then suddenly returned, leaving him stranded at home.

In any case, every cautious move I make now is a lesson learned from the blood and tears of my past life.

Yuan Quan couldn't refuse Qin Sheng, so she had no choice but to go back to her room to change her clothes.

This was also Qin Sheng's request.

If you're going to a hotel, you need to be discreet and disguise yourself. Don't wear your usual clothes, and make sure you have a hat, mask, and sunglasses.

After waiting for more than an hour to confirm that Zeng Li had definitely arrived at the airport, the two, having changed their clothes, finally went out.

Qin Sheng hailed a taxi at the entrance of the residential area and gave the name of a hotel five kilometers away.

He specifically chose this hotel and made special arrangements for it; it didn't require him to register his identity information, so it was relatively safe.

We arrived at our destination a little over half an hour later.

Qin Sheng paid the fare and got off the bus with Yuan Quan.

Once they were away from their own neighborhood, Yuan Quan became noticeably bolder and affectionately took Qin Sheng's arm.

Qin Sheng didn't refuse, and the two of them walked close together toward the hotel lobby.

Go inside, and there are two couples registering ahead of you.

Qin Sheng wasn't in a hurry. He quietly took Yuan Quan's arm, dressed completely covered up, and stood in line behind her.

At that moment, across the street from the hotel, Zeng Li's nanny van was parked right there on the side of the road.

What a coincidence.

Zeng Li's flight was canceled due to weather conditions and was rescheduled for tomorrow.

So she had to take the nanny van back to the city.

Assistant Zhang thought everything would be fine after Zeng Li left, so she arranged with her husband to pick up their son from school today.

Now that the itinerary has changed, Sister Zhang panicked and finally had to bite the bullet and beg Zeng Li to make an exception and let her pick up the child.

Zeng Li was indeed beautiful inside and out; she asked the driver to change routes without saying anything.

As luck would have it, the kindergarten where Sister Zhang's son attends is right across from the hotel where Qin Sheng came from.

And so this coincidental scene unfolded.

Qin Sheng took Yuan Quan to a hotel across the street, while Zeng Li waited for them in his car on this side.

Zeng Li, sitting in the car, was actually in a good mood.

The flight rebooking means she can spend the evening with Qin Sheng.

Thinking of Qin Sheng, Zeng Li couldn't help but smile.

He'll definitely be startled if I suddenly appear at his house, right?

Sister Zhang is almost done picking up her child.

Zeng Li turned his head listlessly, glancing casually at the street scene through the car window.

When Zeng Li's gaze swept across the hotel lobby across the street and he saw a familiar outfit, his breath hitched.

In the lobby of the hotel across the street, a man was wearing the same clothes that Qin Sheng at home rarely wore!

Although she had never seen Qin Sheng wear this outfit before, she had been in charge of household affairs and knew exactly what clothes Qin Sheng owned.

This is definitely Qin Sheng's style of clothing!

Could it be Qin Sheng?

How did he end up here?

After a closer look, unfortunately, the other person was wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, so Zeng Li couldn't see them clearly.

As the view widened, it became clear that the man dressed in Qin Sheng's clothes was accompanied by a woman.

Zeng Li wasn't so familiar with Yuan Quan's infrequent clothing choices.

Therefore, upon first glance, they did not recognize that this might be Yuan Quan.

Seeing the two holding hands, Zeng Li's heart tightened instantly.

Qin Sheng...with another woman?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Qin Sheng loves me so much, how could he possibly be with another woman...?

But then, Zeng Li became somewhat dejected.

She was well aware of how popular Qin Sheng was among the girls at the company.

She wouldn't be surprised at all if Qin Sheng could get dates with other girls.

So, is the man holding another girl's hand in the hotel lobby, about to check into a room, really Qin Sheng?

Zeng Li was extremely nervous.

She wanted to confirm whether it was Qin Sheng or not.

But he didn't dare to confirm whether it was Qin Sheng or not.

If that's true, what should she do?

The queue in the hotel lobby started moving.

Seeing that the man dressed in Qin Sheng's clothes was about to enter the hotel, Zeng Li gritted her teeth and decided to confirm.

She has a way to confirm it.

After he became rich, Qin Sheng bought her a cell phone.

She could easily call Qin Sheng right now.

If the call goes through and the man on the other end also answers his phone at the same time, then that's irrefutable evidence.

With trembling hands, he opened his shoulder bag and pulled out a brand new Motorola phone.

Then, with trembling fingers, she pressed the number she knew by heart.

"Beep—beep—"

Zeng Li held her phone while keeping a close eye on the man's movements across the room.

In the hotel lobby, the man picked up his phone.

The moment the call connected, Zeng Li could no longer hold back her sadness, hung up the phone immediately, and burst into tears.

After crying for a while, the phone rang again.

Zeng Li picked it up and glanced at it; it was Qin Sheng calling back.

Looking up at the opposite side, he saw Qin Sheng standing in the corner of the hotel lobby, making a phone call to himself.

He quickly wiped away his tears, coughed, and tried his best to stop crying.

After confirming that her voice had returned to normal, Zeng Li answered the phone.

"Hey, Ali, what's up with your call?"

Zeng Li watched as the girl next to Qin Sheng moved closer to him, and Qin Sheng took her hand in return.

She was about to burst into tears again.

But she managed to hold back, no matter how hard she tried.

He spoke softly, trying to keep his voice calm: "It's nothing, I just accidentally pressed the wrong button."

Okay, that's all for now, you go ahead and do your work.

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

The call ended with a beep.

Seeing Qin Sheng put down his phone and go to queue for a hotel room with the girl again, Zeng Li could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
