「On the other side.」
Lin Feng finished preparing dinner and was waiting in the living room for Zhang Yuxi to co ho. After a long wait, however, she still hadn't returned. He took out his phone to call her, but no one answered.
In the end, he had no choice but to call Tang Xiufen.
From her, he learned that Zhang Yuxi was with Han Wen. He then called Han Wen.
"Miss Zhang? We just parted ways a while ago. Hasn't she gotten ho yet?" Han Wen said. "At this hour, she should be almost there..."
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a car pulled up outside the villa. The source of th??s content is novelFirｅ
Lin Feng glanced through the window. "She's back. Miss Han, I'll hang up now."
"No problem, brother-in-law," Han Wen replied in a aningful tone. "Looks like you have your hands full tonight." Then, she hung up.
Lin Feng didn't give it much thought. Instead, he stood by the door, waiting for Zhang Yuxi to co inside.
Carrying a shopping bag, Zhang Yuxi walked toward the villa with heavy steps. The mont she entered, she saw Lin Feng standing in the living room with a deep frown, looking rather upset.
"Honey, what on earth were you doing today?" he asked. "I called you several tis, and you didn't answer!"
Zhang Yuxi hurriedly took out her phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from Lin Feng.
"Honey, I'm so sorry!" she apologized quickly. "I put my phone on silent for class today and forgot to turn the ringer back on."
Seeing her guilty expression, Lin Feng's heart imdiately softened. "It's alright. Just rember to check your phone next ti. When you don't answer, I get worried..."
Zhang Yuxi nodded and promised, "Okay, honey!"
"Co on, let's eat." Lin Feng took her handbag and the shopping bag from her.
The contents of this shopping bag... Why does it feel so odd?
"What's this?" he asked curiously.
Zhang Yuxi's face flushed. She quickly snatched the bag back and ran upstairs, leaving Lin Feng completely baffled. After stashing the items away, she ca back downstairs for dinner. Lin Feng didn't ask about the bag again, and Zhang Yuxi breathed a silent sigh of relief.
By the ti they finished dinner, it was nearly nine o'clock. Zhang Yuxi went upstairs to nurse the fourth baby, then ca back down, ready to wash the dishes.
Lin Feng stopped her. "Honey, co chat with
for a bit."
Although puzzled, Zhang Yuxi sat on the sofa and snuggled into his arms. Lin Feng gently stroked her back as he whispered, "Honey, I can earn money now. Even if you don't work, I can support you. If you're not happy at your job, you can just stay ho with the kids. I wouldn't say a word."
Zhang Yuxi looked up, a surprised expression on her face. "But I am happy, honey! Besides, Han Wen and Miss Tang are at the school, and I get along really well with them."
"Really?" Lin Feng countered. "Then why have you seed so preoccupied these past few days?"
"That's because..." Zhang Yuxi started to explain, but she quickly caught herself and clamped her mouth shut.
"Because of what?" Lin Feng pressed.
"Because I have to teach an extra class now, so I'm a little tired," Zhang Yuxi said, grabbing the first excuse that ca to mind.
Seeing her avoid his gaze, Lin Feng knew she wasn't telling the truth. But he didn't push it. If his wife didn't want to talk about it, he would let it be.
"If you're tired, then you should get more rest," he said, getting up. "I'll do the dishes."
"Okay!"
As he headed to the kitchen, his phone rang. It was Zhou Cuilan.
"Lin Feng, today is your birthday," his mother said. "Happy birthday, dear!"
Lin Feng put down the bowl in his hands. "Today's my birthday?"
"Yes! Look at you, forgetting your own birthday again!"
Lin Feng truly never paid any attention to his own birthday; Zhou Cuilan had to remind him every single year.
"By the way, Lin Feng, there's sothing else," she continued. "Rember how Wang Lu and the others saw your shop making money? Well, when they got back, they also rented a storefront to sell children's clothing. I heard from your third uncle that they spent over two hundred thousand yuan, including renovations. They made your third aunt watch the store and even left Little Wen there while the two of them went out to have fun. Your third aunt told
the store only brings in a few hundred yuan a day, which isn't even enough to cover the rent. Wang Lu and Lin Jiajun are regretting it horribly now and are planning to sell the business."
Lin Feng listened, nodding in agreent. In the current economic climate, you needed a unique edge to make it in business. He chatted with Zhou Cuilan for a little longer before hanging up.
The rest of the evening proceeded as usual, but Lin Feng was a perceptive man. He had definitely noticed that Zhang Yuxi was deliberately avoiding him.
What on earth is she up to?
Once the babies were all asleep, Zhang Yuxi got ready for bed. Lin Feng grabbed a towel, about to head into the bathroom to shower.
But Zhang Yuxi hurried over and pushed him out of the room, telling him to shower downstairs.
"Why?" Lin Feng asked, surprised.
"Your showers are too loud. I can't sleep..."
Lin Feng was flabbergasted.
Alright then... Maybe she's acting so weird because that ti of the month is approaching. But... no, the timing doesn't add up.
After his shower, Lin Feng stared at his handso face in the mirror, utterly baffled.
When he returned to the second-floor bedroom, he found that only a single bedside lamp had been left on. Zhang Yuxi was huddled completely under the covers, which struck him as strange.
"Honey? Aren't you feeling stuffy under there?"
He walked over and pulled back the covers.
Instantly, his eyes went wide.
Beneath the sheets, Zhang Yuxi was wearing an incredibly skimpy outfit. The style was audacious, and her ample bust, illuminated by the lamplight, looked exceptionally seductive. But what was truly fatal were her long, fair legs, now fully exposed to his gaze. He could even see the faint blue veins beneath her translucent skin.
Lin Feng couldn't stop himself from reaching out for a touch.
Just then, Zhang Yuxi lifted her head and let out a soft moan.
"Honey..."
A shiver ran down Lin Feng's spine. He understood her silent invitation and imdiately joined her under the covers.
