Chapter 169 A Thorn in the Heart

In the days that followed, the online buzz surrounding Shu Lin remained high.

After all, whether it was his recent situation or his one-in-a-million US-Class Omega status, either was a bombshell topic.

As everyone expected, Shao Chengxi calmed down and spent more time with Shu Lin.

These days, Shu Jingcheng stayed with Shu Lin, which made him feel very at ease.

However, inexplicably, after the change in his status, Shu Lin always seemed to have something on his mind.

Another day passed, and Shu Lin returned to the bedroom, seeing the busy Shu Jingcheng, and his heart stirred.

He walked over, sat down beside Shu Jingcheng, and softly called out, “Dad.”

Shu Jingcheng stopped sorting clothes and looked at his son, “Hmm?”

Shu Lin stared at his fingers and suddenly asked softly:

“Dad… my Alpha father, what kind of person… was he?”

He had asked this question before, but Shu Jingcheng had always avoided it.

Now, even though he has found happiness, he still wants to know.

Hearing this question, Shu Jingcheng’s fingertips paused slightly.

But quickly recovered, and casually said:

“Why are you suddenly asking about this today, Xiao Lin?”

“Is there any gossip going around again?”

“It’s just…” Shu Lin pursed his lips, “I suddenly thought that you had such a hard time back then… and that person didn’t even know I existed…”

Shu Jingcheng reached out and hugged his son, looking distressed.

There are always some regrets and pains in life that people are helpless to deal with.

For twenty-one years, he had deliberately avoided this topic, just wanting to completely drive that person out of their world.

He didn’t expect that person had always been like a thorn, buried in Shu Lin’s heart.

Shu Jingcheng reached out and gently stroked Shu Lin’s hair, just like when he was a child:

“Actually… you look a lot like him, but of course, even more like your aunt.”

Shu Lin suddenly raised his head, his pupils trembling slightly under the night light.

“His name is Cheng Yan.” Shu Jingcheng’s voice was very soft, “He was an S-Class Alpha, a popular figure at the university back then. When he played basketball, he always made all the Omegas in the school scream.”

Speaking of this, he raised a wry smile, “I was one of them.”

The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed gently, as if listening to this long-sealed story.

Shu Jingcheng and Cheng Yan were classmates in college, and they fell in love at first sight.

Back then, Cheng Yan was naturally flirtatious, but after meeting Shu Jingcheng, everyone said that his temperament had changed drastically.

He became devoted to Shu Jingcheng.

Shu Jingcheng thought so too.

And just like that, the two got married after graduating from university.

As a result, Cheng Yan couldn’t change his nature, relapsed, and ultimately ended their ten-year marriage with an affair.

“After you two divorced, did he really never come to see you and elder sister?” Shu Lin asked.

Shu Jingcheng met his gaze, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said truthfully:

“No. We were husband and husband for ten years. He knew my temper and knew that even if he came, I wouldn’t see him.”

“What’s more, he has already obtained the freedom he longed for.”

Seeing that his father really didn’t want to say more, Shu Lin couldn’t bear to ask any further questions.

For a period of time afterward, he never brought up this topic again.

Yes, it was meaningless.

Now, Shu Lingxiao and Shao Shiyan are married and have found their own happiness.

And he himself has a happy family.

They will take good care of Shu Jingcheng, and whether or not that person exists is no longer important.

Why bother dwelling on these things and creating unnecessary worries?

Shu Lin thought that he would never cross paths with that person again in this lifetime.

However, he never expected that he would finally meet his Alpha father in that way.
