Trajectory 2: entangled curves

After returning home, Shen Chengkun was absent-minded and tossed and turned. After reading a book with his two children, he did not return to the bedroom immediately, but went to the study. This was not the first time he did this, but his wife, who was watching TV series and touching her phone, did not care at all.

Shen Chengkun's wife's family is very wealthy. Although Shen Chengkun's family has always been well-off, there is still a big gap compared to their family. The house they live in now was his wife's dowry, and the luxury car worth over a million yuan they drive now was also her dowry. His current business also borrowed 100 million from his wife's family at the beginning, which was considered a good start. Although he worked hard to turn his small business into a big business on his own, he was grateful and treated her well as much as he could. Her family held a 30% stake in this big business with the original investment, and his wife did not have to do anything and still got a 30% stake.

But he didn't care about these things. He was satisfied as long as he had something to do and had done it well. What he cared about was that even now, her family always acted superior to him, and his wife acted arrogantly in front of him.

He can tolerate his wife's princess temper, and he has always been able to do so. Although there is an aunt at home now, he often cooks, just because his wife and children like his food. Needless to say, when the aunt is gone, after a busy day outside, he still has to take care of all the housework when he gets home.

Since the birth of the child, his wife didn't want to breastfeed, so after the confinement aunt left, he was the one who made milk every night and woke up in the middle of the night when the child cried. This was the case for both children.

When the children were older, his wife took care of the children occasionally, chose what training sessions the children took, bought things for the children, and provided other tutoring for the children. He was also responsible for picking up the children when his wife was unwilling to go, reading with the children at night, and coaxing them to sleep.

In addition, even if he has some free time, he will give his wife a foot bath and massage.

It's not that he didn't resist this inequality, but after an argument, he was the one who finally compromised due to pressure from her family and his wife's long-term dominance.

Later, his wife and her family took some classes to help with family harmony, and he became busier at work, so his aunt was replaced by a more capable one who had a driver's license and could pick up the children. When he was not working, he would play ball with friends and go fishing, which were all very healthy hobbies.

Apart from these times, as long as he is at home, he still does everything the same as before, without any complaints. But this is indeed very different for Shen Chengkun, with less time at home and more free time, he always has a time and place to release and seek a moment of quiet.

He and his wife finally reached a certain balance.

But this balance was broken by the appearance of Zhuge Qinuo. He knew that he shouldn't have that special feeling for her. He had the responsibility of being a husband, and she had her happy family. But since his eldest son went to kindergarten and saw Zhuge Qinuo, it seemed that he was destined to be unable to escape.

It was the first parent-teacher meeting for his eldest son’s kindergarten. She arrived late but completely captured his attention.

She wore a polo shirt, tight pants, white sneakers, a ponytail, and an oval face. She was thinner than she is now. Compared with other well-dressed mothers in the class and the heavily made-up wife sitting next to her, she didn't look like a mother at all. She looked like a college sister who came to attend a meeting for her younger brother instead of her mother.

She was alone and chose to sit in the corner of the back row.

The parents' meeting hadn't started yet, and everyone was talking about their children and the smallness of the world. When Shen Chengkun occasionally talked to his wife, he would glance at Zhuge Qinuo out of the corner of his eye.

She was so different. While others were actively socializing, she was the only one who was quietly standing aside, fiddling with her phone. Her hands were typing rapidly on the phone. If it weren't for the fact that the phone was held vertically, Shen Chengkun would have suspected that she was an internet addict.

After the parents' meeting, the parents did not leave. They were busy trying to communicate with the teachers, hoping that the teachers would pay more attention to their children in their future campus life. Only she slipped out the back door as soon as the meeting was over.

Later, his wife got pregnant. Needless to say, Shen Chengkun was basically in charge of the child. He would pay special attention to every pick-up and drop-off, as well as class activities. But she didn't show up for the entire semester. He even really wanted to believe that she was just there to help with a meeting.

It was not until the second semester that the class elected a parent committee. At the parent committee meeting, the kindergarten teacher directly reserved a position of "Cultural and Entertainment Minister + Deputy Minister" for a stranger parent - Han Cheng's mother.

This person didn't even come to the meeting, but was represented by her husband, Han Cheng's father.

The appearance of Han Cheng's father helped everyone to identify the person, and it turned out that he was the parent of the outstanding child in the class.

After the meeting, everyone was still discussing whether this person had any particularly strong background, or had any special relationship with the head teacher, and even discussed how much benefits the head teacher had received from her.

For some reason, Shen Chengkun felt that the person was her, the unique her.

It's been another semester since we last met. Just when Shen Chengkun was about to forget about that shadow, she appeared.

At the parent committee meeting, she wore a dress with long lantern sleeves, a short top, a slim-fitting fishtail skirt that reached her calf, and a pair of waterproof high heels. The dress was either loose or tight, and with the high heels, it flattered her figure very well. She had her hair down and wore light makeup. She looked more mature than when we first met.

The class teacher then solved the mystery of the disappearance of this mysterious Minister of Culture and Entertainment and Vice Chairman. The class teacher said that she disappeared because she was pregnant and had a baby, but this did not affect her attention to the child's education and class activities. In fact, she was the one behind many activities.

She didn't know that the head teacher had reserved a position for her in the home committee. She apologized and formally introduced herself at the meeting.

Shen Chengkun confirmed his previous guess that she was Han Cheng's mother; he also knew her name, Zhuge Qinuo.

Later, she wrote plans and did the planning for class activities; she represented parents in kindergarten activities to give speeches and perform classical dances; later, the head teacher directly made her the president of the class parents' committee. At every meeting, she would listen to everyone's opinions, summarize well, and control the rhythm.

She and her husband picked up Han Cheng from school, holding their infant son in their arms; then she would take their toddler son to participate in class activities together; even her wife became a good friend of hers in the class, and their two families would often have extra meals together with a few other close families.

When the eldest son graduated, his youngest daughter was actually assigned to the same class as their youngest son Han Xin. But obviously, Zhuge Qinuo and his wife were busier and less involved in the affairs of their youngest son's class. But the harmonious love between the couple and the excellence of their children are still obvious to all.

Shen Chengkun saw all kinds of her, but there was one thing he had never seen before: he had never seen Zhuge Qinuo yelling at the two children.

She is completely different from his wife. Although Zhuge Qinuo would also say with a smile that it is common for children to be disobedient, and he would definitely get angry, but usually at home, no one can see it. But in Shen Chengkun's eyes, she is the kind of gentle wife and mother. She is the image of the lover he wants but cannot get.

In her, Shen Chengkun saw different aspects of women, wives and marriage.

So, he didn't know when he got used to looking for her in the crowd and paying attention to her. Watching her talk and do things, he felt like he was bathed in spring breeze.

She appeared less and less often, but his heart became more and more out of control.

So much so that every time she appeared, he wanted to get closer, closer, and become a presence that she could not ignore.

Although he knew that this was childish, perverted, and irresponsible as a husband. And she was so happy, not to mention doing anything for him, even a little more care, or even a little more attention, it was not necessarily there. He knew that there would be no result between them, he had always known it.

Perhaps, this is what is called "what you can't get is the best." But as if it were a joke, he fell madly in love with her in an unimaginable way.
