"Alright, the baby's finished feeding. Can you watch them for me while I go change?" Zhang Yuxi said, turning toward the door.
"Hold on, honey!" Lin Feng called out.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Zhang Yuxi asked, turning back to face him.
Lin Feng handed her a jewelry box he had prepared. "This is for you!"
When she saw the jewelry box in his hand, Zhang Yuxi froze for a moment. But she quickly shook her head and refused. "I don't want it! Didn't I tell you yesterday I can earn my own money? You don't need to waste it on me and the baby!"
"I earned the money for this necklace myself," Lin Feng said, a mix of amusement and touched emotion in his voice. "I didn't take any from my family."
"You earned it yourself?" Zhang Yuxi asked, looking at him doubtfully.
"I do," Lin Feng said with a nod. "You know I'm a literature major. I write things online in my spare time to earn a little extra."
"Really?" Zhang Yuxi still seemed somewhat skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Feng chuckled. "Otherwise, why do you think I said I could support the baby yesterday? It's because I have the means to. From now on, you don't have to worry about money."
Zhang Yuxi hesitated for a moment. "This... alright, then." She finally took the jewelry box and opened it.
After all, Lin Feng was just a student; he couldn't be earning that much. The jewelry he was giving her was probably only worth a few hundred yuan, so accepting it wouldn't be a big deal.
But when she opened the box and saw the exquisite necklace inside, she was completely stunned.
As a woman, she of course knew the Cartier brand. And this necklace is their latest release, from the Ocean collection! Even the cheapest one is worth 38,800 yuan!
She hadn't expected Lin Feng to give her a necklace worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"This..." Without a second thought, she tried to push the box back into his hands. "I can't accept something this expensive!"
Her tone was firm. No matter what he said, she was not going to accept this necklace.
Seeing this, Lin Feng gave a helpless smile. He took the necklace out of the box. "To me, no matter how valuable this is, it's not as important as you and the baby. You've worked so hard for our baby these past two years. Just think of this as my way of making it up to you."
"No, you're being far too extravagant..." Zhang Yuxi insisted.
To her, this was just a reckless splurge! Even if he had earned some money, he shouldn't be so lavish. After all, they had four babies to raise! This money could buy enough formula to last for years.
Lin Feng, of course, knew what was on her mind.
"Darling, I know what you're thinking," he said gently. "But every woman deserves at least one nice piece of jewelry. I earned this money myself, and I'll keep earning more to support you and our children. Please, just relax and accept it."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi's lips trembled, and her eyes began to well up with tears. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
She had thought the only reason he wanted to take responsibility was that she was the mother of his children. She thought his feelings for her weren't genuine. But if that were true, he would have no reason to give her such an expensive gift, or to do all of this...
At this, Zhang Yuxi was at a loss, unsure how to refuse him.
When Zhang Yuxi still didn't take the necklace, Lin Feng smiled helplessly, picked it up, and fastened it around her neck himself.
Zhang Yuxi shivered slightly at the cool touch of the metal against her skin.
"It's beautiful," Lin Feng said with satisfaction, his gaze full of affection. "Yuxi, do you know? For the past two years, I've never forgotten that night. My longing for you hasn't faded one bit with time... I want to take responsibility. From now on, let's raise our babies together and build a real family. Okay?"
At his words, Zhang Yuxi's body trembled, and tears finally spilled from her eyes. His confession struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her feeling dazed.
She burst into sobs and threw herself into his arms.
Lin Feng gently patted her back. "Yuxi," he whispered, "say yes, okay?"
"Mhm!" Zhang Yuxi nodded vigorously.
Overjoyed that she had agreed, Lin Feng pulled her into a tight hug, as if afraid she might change her mind.
It was a long while before they both calmed down.
Lin Feng was the first to speak. "Come on, honey. Let's go buy something for the babies. Consider it a first gift from me."
"Okay," Zhang Yuxi said, wiping away her tears. "We're almost out of the baby's formula anyway."
「Half an hour later.」
Sister Wang arrived for work as usual.
With Sister Wang there to look after the babies, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi could leave the house without worry.
Lin Feng remembered there was a boutique supermarket near their complex. So, with Zhang Yuxi on the back, he drove his electric scooter toward it.
Arriving at the supermarket entrance, Zhang Yuxi hesitated.
"Lin Feng, everything in here is really expensive. Let's go somewhere else."
Lin Feng shook his head. "Honey, when it comes to things for our babies, it's worth spending a little more for quality. Besides, you get what you pay for. What if we bought fake formula by mistake? It could harm them."
Lin Feng knew Zhang Yuxi was just trying to save money for him. But with the 200,000 yuan from the system, he was full of confidence. He wouldn't bat an eye even if he had to spend tens of thousands on formula.
Who knew, maybe the system would give him another reward for it!
With that thought, Lin Feng took Zhang Yuxi's hand and headed straight for the supermarket.
Zhang Yuxi was startled when he took her hand. Her face flushed, and her heart began to race. She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
"Don't move," Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Zhang Yuxi's face turned even redder, and she looked around frantically.
"Let go! We're too close to the school. What if some students see us?" she said nervously.
"You're my wife," he said, pulling her into the supermarket. "Why can't I hold your hand?"
Zhang Yuxi's heart was touched, but she still felt it was inappropriate. "You can't!" she insisted.
Lin Feng was perplexed. "Why not? Do you think I'm too poor? That I'm not worthy of being your husband?"
Zhang Yuxi quickly shook her head. "No... that's not it! I'm just worried that if people find out about our relationship, the school will definitely fire me. Then the pressure on you would be even greater..."
Hearing this, a brilliant smile spread across Lin Feng's face. "So you were worried about me, huh?"
Zhang Yuxi's face went bright red. She turned her head away and muttered, "Of course I was. Did you think I was some kind of gold digger?"
