Li Huaike kept looking at the calendar to calculate the time of his second child's college entrance examination.
With several days having passed since the college entrance exams ended and his wife still not back, he began to worry.
Zhao Qinglan deliberately didn't tell her family when they would be back, calling it a surprise.
The eldest and youngest children, knowing what they knew, unanimously supported their mother's decision. The second child, without much thought, simply supported her decision.
Just as Li Huai was wondering whether he should make a call to ask, Xiao Chu walked in with a pleasant surprise.
"Commander, Sister Zhao is back."
“Really.” He immediately stood up.
“It’s true, the guy on guard duty at the entrance of the residential area told me.”
Li Huai wanted to rush home immediately, but he was afraid of being accused of dereliction of duty, so he held back.
Now I'm a bit distracted at work, constantly checking the timetable.
Why does time seem to pass so slowly?
When Zhao Qinglan and the others entered the house, Sanwa was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
"Mom, eldest brother, second brother, sister, you're finally back." It's so lonely with just him and his dad at home every day.
Ding Yu and the others did not go into the family quarters this time.
After Zhao Qinglan opened several stores in Guangzhou, she had more employees and a place to stay.
Although Zhao Qinglan did not plan to move out, she did own property elsewhere.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan are now living in a house outside.
She can come over when she needs to leave the military compound.
Zhao Qinglan was unaware that Sanwa had already communicated with Dawa and Xiaoduo several times in private, asking Dawa and Xiaoduo to pack up their things, so she called her youngest son into the room.
"Sanwa, tell Mom the truth, did your dad behave strangely while I was away?"
Sanwa hadn't originally intended to hide it from her, but he had previously considered that Erwa's college entrance exam might be negatively affected.
Now, whenever Zhao Qinglan asks, he immediately tells the truth.
As her son recounted the story, Zhao Qinglan's expression changed several times.
She thought she was overthinking it, but it turns out so many things really did happen.
If her husband hadn't stood firm, who knows what might have happened.
Thinking of Tao Ailian and that Dr. Jiao, she sneered.
Fine, while she's away, I'll try to steal her away. I'll remember these two women.
It's fine that Tao Ailian isn't here now, but once she returns, I'll definitely go back and vent my anger. As for that Dr. Jiao...
She did have some recollection of it, but it wasn't deep.
The man who's after her? Don't think you're innocent just because you've pinned the blame on Tao Ailian.
Zhao Qinglan's man is not someone anyone can covet.
After leaving the house, Zhao Qinglan planned to go to the military hospital.
Knowing where their mother was going, the three children became nervous and excited. "Mom, what are you going to do?"
Da Wa and Xiao Duo also became nervous.
"Mom, why don't I go with you?" the eldest son suggested, worried that his mother might get taken advantage of.
Zhao Qinglan smiled. "No need, Mom isn't going to fight, don't worry. You all stay home and don't go anywhere. I'll be back in a bit."
After Zhao Qinglan left, Erwa was still completely confused.
"What are you talking about? Why is Mom going to the hospital?"
The eldest brother and the others looked at the second brother with some sympathy.
The third child was too lazy to repeat himself, so the kind-hearted Xiaoduo explained the situation to the second child.
Erwa's expression went through a rollercoaster of emotions.
Goodness, so many things happened in his family during his last month of preparing for the college entrance exam.
However, he didn't understand why his older brother, older sister, and younger brother were keeping it from him.
"How could they be so mean?" Erwa said angrily.
“That’s right, luckily our dad is still sensible,” Xiaoduo said.
“If Dad can’t figure things out, this will be a big problem,” the eldest son added.
"Yes, yes, if Dad dares to wrong Mom, I'll stand up for her," Erwa said firmly.
Coincidentally, we all thought the same thing, and the siblings nodded in agreement.
This shows Li Huai's status in the children's hearts.
Having already learned about Dr. Jiao's department, Zhao Qinglan easily found her.
Dr. Jiao initially thought Zhao Qinglan was a patient seeking his medical attention, but his expression changed drastically when he saw her sit down.
"You, you."
"What, are you surprised to see me?" Zhao Qinglan smiled.
Fearing that Zhao Qinglan had come to cause trouble, Dr. Jiao immediately stood up and said nervously, "Let's go outside and talk about it."
If Zhao Qinglan were to spread this word now, she wouldn't need to stay in the hospital any longer.
In recent days, she has regretted and reflected on her actions many times.
But what's done is done, and there's no use regretting it now. What she fears most is that Zhao Qinglan won't let her go.
“Okay.” Zhao Qinglan stood up.
She's not stupid; why make a scene? Otherwise, her whole family will lose face too.
She came only to vent her anger.
Even though she knew her husband had kept his secret, she was still angry at the thought that Dr. Jiao was coveting her man.
Dr. Jiao led her to a secluded flowerbed outside the hospital before stopping.
"Looks like you do know why I came." Zhao Qinglan said meaningfully.
Hearing her say that, Dr. Jiao felt ashamed and lowered her head, biting her lip, and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Zhao. I... I was out of my mind before. I know I made a mistake. Don't worry, I will never dare to do it again. Please, please let me go."
Zhao Qinglan chuckled, a laugh that sent chills down Dr. Jiao's spine.
"Knowing that you're after my man and causing all that mess, I'm really angry, Dr. Jiao. You're not bad yourself, so why do you have to keep eyeing married men?"
