Han Wen stood frozen in place. After a long while, she finally realized something was amiss.

"If Lin Feng is your husband, how come neither of us noticed?"

Teacher Zhang gave a faint smile. "Because he always wore a mask when he came to school. He even disguised himself, so you didn't recognize him."

Han Wen had a sudden realization. "I knew Teacher Zhang's husband looked somewhat familiar, like a student from our class. But I just couldn't place him! Plus, since you're a teacher, it seemed impossible, so I didn't pursue it!"

Tang Xiufen added, "Teacher Zhang, there's really nothing wrong with this. It's natural for men and women to get married when they come of age. You and Lin Feng are old enough to be married. You have the certificate and you have children, so what is there to hide?"

Zhang Yuxi's expression turned bitter. "You know my situation. I'm so much older than him, and I have four children to raise. He's an outstanding student, and I didn't want to hold him back, so I decided to temporarily hide our relationship. That way, if Lin Feng couldn't handle the pressure and wanted to end things, it wouldn't affect his life. Besides, I didn't want to lose this job. Raising four babies is incredibly expensive, so I've kept it a secret until now."

"Now that our family's financial situation has improved a lot, I don't need this job to make ends meet. Since we've become friends, I'm sincerely asking you to please help me keep this secret. Lin Feng is about to leave for his internship, and I want him to be able to graduate without any trouble."

Being older than Han Wen, Tang Xiufen was naturally more considerate. She respected and understood Zhang Yuxi's perspective. A woman who overthinks things and carries heavy burdens is bound to be cautious.

Tang Xiufen smiled. "I'll help you keep the secret."

Han Wen also nodded in agreement. It wasn't anything shameful; everyone has their reasons.

Zhang Yuxi gave them a grateful smile. "Thank you so much."

Han Wen waved her hand dismissively. "It's no big deal, no need to be so polite. But your story is so romantic, it's like something out of a novel. Maybe it's destiny that you two should be together…"

Even Tang Xiufen found herself nodding in agreement.

Perhaps there really is such a thing as fate.

After revealing the truth, Zhang Yuxi felt a great weight lift from her shoulders.

Tang Xiufen laughed. "I saw you two together yesterday and didn't sleep a wink all night. I kept wondering if something was wrong. I had no idea you two were married; now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Upon hearing this, Han Wen suddenly exclaimed, "That explains it! I was wondering why you were so insistent on dragging me to find Teacher Zhang today."

With their relationship clarified, all the previously strange things now made perfect sense. The three of them couldn't help but exchange smiles.

"Alright, let's just let it go. We won't talk about it anymore."

Han Wen pulled Tang Xiufen along to tour the yacht. They left the deck and descended the stairs, and the space suddenly opened up before them. Before them lay a huge, lavishly decorated living room. Lin Feng was on the sofa, changing the babies' diapers.

Han Wen patted Lin Feng's shoulder. "Well, well, you little rascal! I never would have guessed! You put on such a good act, you had Teacher Tang and me running in circles."

Zhang Yuxi hurried over to her husband's defense. "It's not his fault. Actually, he wanted to announce our relationship from the start. I was the one who stopped him."

Han Wen looked at Lin Feng thoughtfully. "She told me everything about you and Teacher Zhang. You're a real man. You didn't shrink from the responsibility of raising four children and stepped up to the plate! Teacher Zhang certainly didn't misjudge your character."

Tang Xiufen also admired Lin Feng's boldness. Not everyone their age would have that kind of guts and courage.

Han Wen looked Lin Feng up and down. "And to think I tried so hard to call you 'brother-in-law'! You must have been secretly loving it, huh?"

Lin Feng shook his head in denial. "I never thought of it that way. Besides, every time you called me 'brother-in-law,' wasn't it because you wanted me to cook something delicious for you?"

"How can you blame me? If anyone's to blame, it's your amazing cooking! It makes me want to come over and freeload every single day. As a foodie, who cares about appearances? Food is what's most important. Fine, from now on, we'll be teacher and student in public, but in private, you're still my brother-in-law. And you still have to cook for me, not a single dish less, you hear?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked helpless. It seemed that for the sake of food, Han Wen really had no shame.

Lin Feng laughed. "Alright, whatever you want to eat in the future, I'll make it for you."

Only then did Han Wen stand up, satisfied, and went with Tang Xiufen to look around the yacht. It was then they realized that, aside from them, there was no one else on the massive vessel.

The yacht suddenly started moving, startling them. Is it leaving without waiting for anyone else?

Zhang Yuxi explained that Lin Feng had bought the yacht, which left the two of them completely stunned. They knew Lin Feng had made some investments and, with his savings, had bought a house. Then, in less than a year, he had also bought a villa and several storefronts. Now he even owned a yacht?

Given its luxury, this yacht must be worth several million, at least! Damn, he's a secret millionaire!

Han Wen couldn't help but sigh in amazement. "No wonder everyone wants to marry a rich man. Now I see why. This kind of life is pure enjoyment! If only I had a yacht, I could go wherever I wanted."

Tang Xiufen was also very envious. When she was younger, she too had dreamed of a wandering life, of finding herself, but in the end, she had been defeated by reality.

Han Wen was like a happy butterfly, flitting and calling out as she explored the yacht.

After sailing for three hours, the yacht finally arrived at a port near Mei City.

To surprise his family, Lin Feng didn't call Lin Dashan or Zhou Cuilan. Instead, he quietly led everyone back to the villa.

Tang Xiufen and Han Wen stared at the villa before them for a moment, stunned. Then again, it was to be expected. After all, someone who could afford a yacht wouldn't live in a dump.

The door opened, and Zhou Cuilan came out. When she saw Zhang Yuxi, her son, and her four adorable grandchildren, she froze. She never expected her son and his family to return!

Zhou Cuilan smiled, wiping her hands before taking off her apron. "What are you all doing here? Come in, come in. I've met these two before. They're Yu Xi's colleagues from the school, right?" she said with a smile as she welcomed the two teachers inside.

Han Wen said sweetly, "Auntie, we're sorry to barge in on you like this."

Zhou Cuilan waved her hand. "It's no trouble at all, not one bit."

She cooed as she picked up one of her little grandchildren. "Oh my, Grandma's little grandbaby! It's been a few months, did you miss your grandma?

"Grandma missed you to death! Watching you on video every day just wasn't enough. Now I can finally hold you.

"Mmm, you've gotten a bit heavier. Grandma likes you when you're nice and chubby and strong.

"You came at the perfect time. Grandma is making fish soup. I'll feed some to you later.

"Our second baby is getting prettier and prettier. You'll be a great beauty just like your mom when you grow up.

"And look at our fourth baby! Those little arms and legs are so plump and fair, I could just eat you up!"
