Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Discussing the Wedding
「Evening.」
Second Treasure and Third Treasure ca ho together, only to be t with a furious assault from Little Treasure.
"I didn’t have any sumr howork at all! You lied to , you lied to !"
"Waaah! Am I not your little darling anymore? How could you bully
like this..."
Lin Feng sipped his water, leisurely watching the scene unfold.
Little Treasure was throwing a huge tantrum this ti, the kind that no amount of coaxing from Second Treasure and Third Treasure could fix.
Out of options, Second Treasure imdiately threw Fourth Treasure under the bus. After all, he was out of town, so taking a little extra heat wouldn’t hurt.
Little Treasure let out a wail and called Fourth Treasure, who, sensing her fury, decisively sold out Third Treasure.
She then went howling after Third Treasure, who apologized profusely while imdiately ratting out First Treasure.
In this family, there were two people Little Treasure feared most: one was First Treasure, and the other was her mother, Zhang Yuxi.
But this ti, Little Treasure was in the right, so she wasn’t scared!
She wailed furiously into the phone at First Treasure, accusing him of being unfair. How could he sche against his own little sister?
First Treasure had anticipated their ruse would be exposed, but he never imagined he’d be the one left holding the bag.
Then again, he was First Treasure for a reason.
"Your big brother is busy right now. I’ll call you back five minutes after you’re done crying."
"...BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP."
Little Treasure’s tears hung on her cheeks as she sniffled, feeling utterly wronged.
Seizing the opportunity, Second Treasure and Third Treasure ca over to coax her again.
Her mood had mostly settled by now. Pouting, she crossed her arms and turned away, making it clear she wanted nothing to do with them...
Second Treasure decided to just buy her happiness.
"Alright, na your price!"
"Hmph, you think money makes you so great."
Second Treasure laughed. "Money really is great. Go on, na your price. Anything."
Now it was Little Treasure’s turn to feel embarrassed. "You can just give
whatever you think is fair."
Second Treasure decisively handed her a single coin. "Is this enough?"
Little Treasure’s tears burst out once more. "You’re so an! So an!"
In that mont, the house was filled with a unique kind of joy as the two older sisters and their younger sister wrestled playfully.
In the end, Second Treasure paid a fine, and Third Treasure compensated Little Treasure with a new princess dress.
A little while later, they called First Treasure back.
"Are you done crying?" he asked.
Little Treasure sniffled. "Mhm, I’m done."
First Treasure sighed. "We bought those workbooks hoping that you wouldn’t forget what you’ve learned while you were having fun on your sumr break."
"And don’t get arrogant just because you scored perfectly on your tests this ti. You need to keep working hard, understand?"
In any case, the matter concluded with First Treasure promising to bring her back a toy.
Before bed, Lin Feng had a video call with Zhang Yuxi. When she heard about what happened, she couldn’t stop laughing.
"Oh, Little Treasure, that poor thing... Did she really not notice sothing was wrong?"
Lin Feng chuckled. "She probably never expected her older siblings to pull a stunt like this."
Zhang Yuxi had been just as puzzled as Lin Feng at first, thinking Little Treasure had suddenly beco sensible. It turned out the poor girl was simply clueless.
「」
Sumr vacation passed in the blink of an eye, and school started in September.
This term, they were in the third grade; the children were another year older.
The kids grew older and more sensible with each passing year. Little Treasure had always matured faster and knew more than other kids her age, and her attitude toward her studies remained positive this term.
In mid-September, Third Treasure returned from abroad for a short trip. After months of hard work, her music studio in Yangcheng was finally established. The first job she landed was producing a music video album for a popular, highly talented singer.
Third Treasure was taking advantage of so free ti to co back and grab a few things. Lin Feng owned a house in Yangcheng, which is where she was currently staying.
After the family had dinner that evening, the couple sat down with Third Treasure for a chat. The gist was for her to take good care of herself, hire a housekeeper or a part-ti cleaner if she got too busy, never suffer in silence, and to ask the family for money if she ever needed it.
All four of their older children were out on their own, independent and perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. The couple really didn’t need to worry.
But no matter how old their children got, they would always be children in their parents’ eyes.
Lying in bed, the couple talked about their kids.
Now, both Second Treasure and Third Treasure had boyfriends. Sooner or later, they would get married and leave...
"We still have Little Treasure with us. And when she grows up and leaves ho, you’ll still have ," Lin Feng said, squeezing his wife’s hand with a smile.
"Darling, you have more and more of that mature man’s charm now. You look so handso," she complinted.
In the past, Lin Feng was simply handso, his appeal resting entirely on his looks. Now, he had not just the looks but also substance, exuding charisma with every move.
Zhang Yuxi was becoming less and less confident. No matter how well a woman maintained her appearance, her youth would eventually fade. Though grace may be tiless, what good is elegant bone structure in the end?
Would any young man fancy a sophisticated lady in her forties or fifties? But young girls certainly fall for elegant n in their forties or fifties!
One look and Lin Feng knew Zhang Yuxi’s mind was wandering. He cupped her face in his hands. "What are you thinking about?"
"I’m your husband. Alive or dead, I’ll always be your husband," he reassured her.
Zhang Yuxi retorted lodramatically, "Who knows for sure!"
Lin Feng rolled over. "Co here, let
prove it to you."
Deep in the night, under a hook-shaped moon, everyone was asleep. The day’s activities ca to a close.
Upon waking, they would all be busy again, greeting a new day.
After having breakfast with her family, Third Treasure took a plane and left Yangcheng.
September passed, and the long October holiday approached. Qin Jiang was coming to i City.
Third Treasure had originally planned to go abroad to et up with Shao Yang, but since the family was heading to Jingcheng to discuss Second Treasure’s marriage, she had to wait for another opportunity.
Shao Yang imdiately changed his own plans and flew to Jingcheng instead. He wanted to observe and learn; after all, he was hoping to get engaged to Third Treasure soon, too!
Qin Jiang’s visit was rather sudden, but fortunately, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were well-prepared, having already gathered all the gifts. For the won, there were skincare products, jewelry, and herbal redies with beautifying effects. For the n, there were health supplents, fine teas, calligraphy, and paintings.
Each item had been carefully selected by the couple. Their goal wasn’t just to give the perfect gifts but to show their sincerity and ensure both families left with a good impression of one another.
Second Treasure was cheerful and imnsely confident, a woman who believed there was nothing she couldn’t achieve through hard work. More than that, she was a social juggernaut.
Having t many influential figures, established herself as a powerful businesswoman, and enjoyed the status of being a billionaire’s daughter, her confidence was bone-deep. Every glance and smile radiated her bold, vibrant beauty.
However, this ti, she felt anxious. One mont she was affirming herself, the next she was filled with doubt. She considered herself perfect in every way, but what if Qin Jiang’s parents didn’t think she was good enough? Especially his mother—the relationship between a wife and her mother-in-law was a classic dilemma for a reason. If his parents disapproved of her, would he still stay with her?
She was worried but didn’t let it show on her face, continuously reassuring herself instead. If they didn’t approve of their relationship and he chose to break up over it, then he wasn’t the man for her anyway. Society wasn’t lacking for n; there were plenty to choose from, and many of them were high-quality. Both First Treasure and Fourth Treasure knew so exceptionally outstanding n. Even among her current suitors, many ca from excellent families. Missing out on one Qin Jiang wouldn’t be the end of the world.
