Although Lin Feng was now fully capable of buying the necklace, the thought of suddenly spending tens of thousands of yuan still made him wince.
However, the moment he thought about giving it to Zhang Yuxi, he felt it was completely worth it. As long as he could move her and make her believe he was someone she could entrust her life to, nothing else mattered. Besides, with the system's help, earning money in the future shouldn't be difficult. It seemed, though, that the system only gave rewards when he was raising the babies. So, whether for the sake of his family or the rewards, he had to take good care of them!
After buying the necklace, Lin Feng also went to a nearby mall and bought several sets of cosmetics. By the time he came out, both his hands were laden with all sorts of bags, almost too many to carry.
When he returned to the dormitory, his roommates were stunned by the sight of all his purchases. Liu Bo, his closest roommate, was the first to speak. "Lin Feng, what's with all the cosmetics? Did you get a girlfriend?"
Lin Feng placed the items on his bed and nodded. "You could say that. I plan to give these to her tomorrow."
"Good grief! SK-II, Innisfree, and Lancôme... Lin Feng, did you strike it rich?" another roommate exclaimed, his eyes glued to the bags.
"You know about this stuff?" Lin Feng asked, surprised.
"Of course! My girlfriend talks about these brands all the time. I could probably recite them in my sleep!" the roommate replied, then continued, "You must have spent a fortune on all this, right?"
"Yeah," Lin Feng nodded. "It cost over ten thousand."
Hearing the price, Liu Bo did a spit-take with his soda. "Over ten thousand?! Lin Feng, are you being scammed?"
To them, it seemed Lin Feng must have just gotten together with this girl. Otherwise, they would have known about her by now. But how long could it have been for him to be buying her such expensive gifts? If that wasn't being scammed, what was?
"Hey, don't let your imaginations run wild!" Lin Feng quickly clarified. "We're not even together yet. This is, at most, a confession gift!"
He didn't want his roommates to gossip about his private life.
After all, Zhang Yuxi had given him four children; buying her some cosmetics was nothing in comparison. He had originally planned on buying something for the babies too, but he knew nothing about infant products. He would just have to wait for Zhang Yuxi to take him shopping tomorrow.
Hearing that it was a confession gift, Liu Bo and the other roommate relaxed. If that was the case, then it made sense to make a grand gesture.
Lin Feng woke up early. After washing up, he grabbed the bags of cosmetics and rode his bike out of the dorm.
He soon arrived at Zhang Yuxi's apartment and let himself in with his key. Seeing that the living room was empty, he headed straight for Zhang Yuxi's bedroom. But as he pushed the door open, he froze on the spot, his breath catching in his throat.
At that moment, Zhang Yuxi was inside, personally breastfeeding one of the babies.
Lin Feng couldn't help but swallow hard. A fiery heat seemed to rush up from his chest, making him feel feverish. His gaze fell upon her chest, and he nearly lost all self-control. She was wearing a flimsy nightgown that clung to her gorgeous figure, leaving little to the imagination.
Startled by his sudden appearance, Zhang Yuxi's face flushed red. She hastily pulled her nightgown together and snapped at him, "Get out!"
Her voice shocked Lin Feng back to his senses. He quickly averted his eyes and turned to leave the bedroom. He hadn't seen such an enchanting sight since that night two years ago, so a little nervousness was inevitable.
Zhang Yuxi's sharp tone had frightened the four babies, and they all began to cry at once.
"I'm sorry, babies, don't cry, don't cry," she cooed, quickly reaching out to gently pat their backs. "Mommy wasn't scolding you. Mommy was... scolding your daddy. Be good, sweethearts!"
Zhang Yuxi was clearly not yet used to referring to Lin Feng this way. Outside the door, however, Lin Feng was thrilled to hear her call him their daddy, interpreting it as her accepting him as her husband.
A moment later, Zhang Yuxi's voice came from inside. "Lin... Lin Feng!"
"I'm here. What is it?" he answered immediately.
"I... I don't have enough milk. Could you prepare some formula and bring it in?" she asked, her voice soft and shy.
Ordinarily, she would have just carried the babies out herself. But with Lin Feng in the apartment, she was too embarrassed to walk out .
"Okay!" Lin Feng nodded eagerly and rushed to the kitchen to prepare the formula. Thanks to his recent experience, he quickly mixed four bottles.
Carrying the warm bottles, he returned to the bedroom and knocked.
"Come in!" Zhang Yuxi's voice called out.
Lin Feng entered with the baby bottles, a grin on his face. "Honey, is this temperature okay?"
Zhang Yuxi had just finished dressing, but her shoulders were still bare, looking exceptionally enticing. She still seemed flustered from the earlier incident. She took a bottle and felt it with her hand. "Mhm," she nodded. "This temperature is fine. As long as you don't make it any hotter than this in the future, it'll be perfect."
"Alright!" Lin Feng smiled and nodded. He then walked over to the bed to admire the four adorable babies.
Just then, Zhang Yuxi suddenly asked, "By the way, have you thought of names for the children?"
"I have," Lin Feng said, his eyes still fixed on the babies. "The girls will be Lin Tuantuan and Lin Yuanyuan, and the boys will be Lin Pingping and Lin Anan. What do you think?"
"Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, Pingping and Anan..." Zhang Yuxi murmured the names softly, the implied meaning of "reunion" and "peace" not lost on her. She nodded. "They're lovely. Let's call them that from now on."
The moment she finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind.
[For naming the babies and fulfilling your fatherly duties, you are rewarded with 100,000 yuan in cash!] Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
[For preparing formula for the babies and fulfilling your fatherly duties, you are rewarded with the "Formula Identification" Skill!]
Hearing the system, Lin Feng felt a thrill of secret joy. Who would have thought that just naming his babies would earn him a reward? This was incredible! But what exactly was this "Formula Identification" skill?
He opened the system panel to take a closer look.
[Formula Identification: This skill allows you to identify the specific ingredients in baby formula and determine its authenticity.]
Excellent! Now I won't have to worry about buying fake formula for the babies.
At that moment, Zhang Yuxi was still softly repeating the babies' new names. She could feel that Lin Feng genuinely loved these four children and that his feelings for her were real. And so, Zhang Yuxi's gaze toward Lin Feng now held a deep affection.
