This was not flattery. She was gentle and beautiful. There would definitely be a long queue of men wooing her.
Wait. No, wait. She was so pretty. She shouldn’t be single now.
Most likely, some brat had already gotten lucky!
Moreover, she lived in Blossom Garden District, which wasn’t a place she could afford with her salary. Most likely, it belonged to her boyfriend or husband.
A faint red blush appeared on Teacher Qin’s face. “There isn’t.”
Qiqi added, “Every time I go to class, I see someone sending flowers to Teacher Qin!”
Teacher Qin patted his head gently and pretended to be angry. “Qiqi, how could you spill my secret?”
I quickly picked up Qiqi and changed the topic. “Let’s go! We’ll starve if we stay here any longer.”
When we reached the restaurant I frequented, I made up my mind and asked for a private room.
Since it was a treat, I might as well splurge.
Especially since Teacher Qin helped to find Qiqi, I had to treat her to something good.
Fortunately, I still had the remaining money from Xu Xiaomei. I could still afford a meal for three.
“One set of braised prawn, one set of fortune platter, and roast meat…”
After entering the private room, I looked at the menu the waiter had brought over and started ordering.
Unexpectedly, after ordering three dishes, Teacher Qin’s face suddenly fell. She closed the menu in her hand and interrupted me. “Qiqi’s daddy!”
I was stunned. “What is it?”
The sweet smile that seemed to have been carved on Teacher Qin’s face naturally disappeared at this moment. “Do you think that the more expensive something is, the more I will like it?”
I used to patronize this restaurant when I was doing business.
The prices were indeed not low. The meal would at least cost thousands of yuan.
Because I was grateful to her, I had the intention to bring her here. All the dishes I had ordered were expensive signature dishes. Just the prawn dish alone cost 2888 yuan. The first three dishes added up to nearly five thousand yuan!
According to my estimation, the three of us would order four to five dishes. I could still afford to pay eight thousand yuan.
Teacher Qin shook her head gently. “I know. You might think that I helped you, so you can only express your gratitude by ordering expensive dishes. However, gratitude is never expressed through money!”
Although she was criticizing me, her voice was calm and composed. She didn’t sound agitated, and I didn’t feel angry. Instead, I felt comfortable.
Right at this moment, Qiqi suddenly said in all seriousness. “Teacher, don’t blame my father. He’s insensible. I’ll teach him slowly.”
Her words made the three people in the room, including the waiter, burst into laughter at the same time.
Fortunately, when he interrupted, Teacher Qin laughed again. After a while, she regained her composure and suppressed her laughter. “Then, for Qiqi’s sake, I won’t fuss about it. However, I have to order the dishes.”
I quickly nodded. “Okay! I know my mistake! I’ll listen to you.”
In the end, she ordered four dishes and a soup. Together with the room fee, it only cost more than 600 yuan.
After the meal, we left the restaurant. Teacher Qin bade us goodbye and left.
Watching as Teacher Qin drove away in her brown car, Qiqi suddenly said, “Daddy, I forgot to tell you something. When I grow up, I want to marry Teacher Qin!”
I almost choked to death!
This little guy acted as if he was old enough to “inform” me. Did he really think that he was my father and I was the son?
I slapped his forehead. “When you grow up, Teacher Qin and her children will already be in high school!”
Qiqi shook her head. “Impossible! Teacher Qin said that she would wait for me to grow up!”
I chuckled. “She was just kidding!”
Of course, Teacher Qin was only joking. When a child talked about marriage, it wasn’t as complicated as an adult. It was purely because she was a good person and she treated Qiqi very well. That was why my son had such thoughts.
Teacher Qin was a gentle and kind teacher, so naturally, she couldn’t reject him.
Just like when I was young, I liked my math teacher too. I thought about marrying her when I grew up.
However, it was ultimately just an idea. As one grew older, one would naturally realize how childish they had been in the past.
Thus, promises made in childhood were usually broken.
After sending my son home, I rushed back to the construction site.
Before we went for lunch earlier on, I called Wang Zhongtian to inform him.
After returning to the construction site, I immediately looked for him and thanked him.
He waved his hand. “There’s no need to thank me. Your problem is my problem.”
My heart warmed and I was about to speak when my phone rang.
When I saw the number, it was Teacher Qin.
Wang Zhongtian gestured to me before he left to do his job..
