The three of them hit it off and decided to go out and look at storefronts.

Lin Feng was driving the same SUV as before.

"This car is so comfortable. When I have money, I'll buy one too."

Lin Feng laughed. "You don't have the money to buy one now?"

Lin Jiajun chuckled slyly. "I've saved up some money."

"Isn't it strange? Back when I wasn't making money, I spent lavishly without a second thought."

"But after I started earning, I became reluctant to spend and just wanted to save."

Now, he really couldn't bear to spend over a million on a car.

While they were talking, the three of them arrived at a shop.

The shop was quite old. After greeting the owner, they went inside to take a look. It was over three hundred square meters, previously a teahouse, but the owner simply couldn't keep the business going.

Lin Jiajun, smoking a cigarette, said, "I discussed it with An Min. If we can't find anything better, we should just find an existing place that only needs a little renovation before we can open."

Lin Feng shook his head. "That was a stroke of luck."

He then remembered something and asked, "Did your aunt have any success with her blind dates?"

Jiang Anmin shook his head. "Not yet. She's too busy, and her direct personality isn't what most guys are looking for."

Lin Feng actually had a pretty good impression of Jiang Anmin's aunt. Her demeanor and conversation were quite pleasant. But when it came to matters of the heart, who could say for sure?

Afterward, they viewed a few more storefronts.

Lin Feng wasn't satisfied with any of them.

Jiang Anmin and Lin Jiajun exchanged a glance, knowing that none had caught Lin Feng's eye.

"Well…" Jiang Anmin began, "how about I ask my aunt if she knows of any other suitable places?"

Lin Feng nodded. "There's no rush. We can take our time finding a shop. We don't have to open by the holidays; we can even wait until the New Year."

The three men sat on the steps in the shade of some trees as it was starting to get hot.

Lin Jiajun stood up. "What do you guys want to drink?"

"Iced black tea."

"Mineral water."

Lin Jiajun bought the drinks, and the three of them chatted while sipping.

They talked about the recently opened Yuhuali Mall, the largest commercial investment in Meicheng. Many shops had begun moving in, including, of course, some eateries. The city had previously planned to construct a first-class hospital behind Yuhuali, and construction had already started.

As they were talking, Lin Jiajun's phone rang.

It was a call from his third aunt.

After Wang Lu got home and took a nap, she started to feel unwell. When the pain lasted for more than ten minutes, she felt something was wrong and went to the hospital for a check-up.

She was already dilated to three centimeters and was about to give birth!

His third aunt was at the hospital and had already called Wang Lu's mother, who was rushing over. Lin Daan had some connections at the hospital, so a bed had been prepared in advance. Both Wang Lu and Du Yan had their first children at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, so she was back here for her second.

When Lin Jiajun and the others arrived, Zhang Yuxi and her group were already there.

It was a semi-private room with another expectant mother and her family in the adjacent bed. They were stunned by the sudden influx of so many people.

Zhang Yuxi whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Liu Bo and An Lan left… Rui and Yan left, too."

Lin Feng nodded. "I know."

Every woman's childbirth experience is different. Some can give birth in ten minutes, while others might take a full day. The doctor came to take Wang Lu for some examinations: an electrocardiogram, an ultrasound, fetal heart monitoring, and so on.

It was time for the rest of them to leave.

Lin Feng and Jiang Anmin were the last to depart, staying for a while to keep them company. By then, Wang Lu's pain had intensified, and a doctor was checking on her every half hour. Su Qiqi looked extremely nervous, her face pale.

Fearing it might leave a lasting negative impression on her, Jiang Anmin suggested, "Lin Feng, we should head out. I'll bring my aunt along tomorrow, and we can see if there are any suitable shops."

Lin Feng nodded. "Sounds good."

Seeing Wang Lu going through labor, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but think back to her own experience.

Those days had been painful, yet sweet. The arrival of her four little angels had banished all her fears and uncertainties.

"Honey, what was it like when you gave birth?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled faintly. "I had all my check-ups at that hospital, so when my due date arrived, the doctors and nurses were very responsible."

"The babies were all very cooperative; they didn't make me suffer for long. Our fourth baby, Si Bao, was born last and weighed less than three and a half pounds, so she had to stay in an incubator for a week before we could bring her home."

Thinking of Si Bao still made Zhang Yuxi shudder. When the baby was born, the look on the doctors' and nurses' faces changed. She was scared to death.

Such a tiny baby, with such a faint cry and a trembling body...

She burst into tears just looking at her. She would visit Si Bao every day to get updates from the nurses. The babies were all healthy, including Si Bao. Aside from the low birth weight, all her organs had developed normally. Now that she was a year old, Si Bao had become even more mischievous and was full of energy!

Lin Feng took her hand. "Honey, I owe you so much."

Zhang Yuxi shook her head. She had never blamed Lin Feng for a single thing regarding this matter. After that night, she herself had never expected to get pregnant, let alone Lin Feng.

"Honey, don't ever think like that again. It had nothing to do with you."

Zhang Yuxi sat on a bench in the corridor, leaning on Lin Feng's shoulder.

"I'm so happy now. With you and the babies by my side, I feel like the luckiest woman in the world."

She noticed that many of the fathers here seemed indifferent, ignoring their wives beside them while staring down at their phones. Very few husbands seemed to be eagerly anticipating their baby's arrival together with their wives.

Compared to them, Lin Feng was truly outstanding. So outstanding, in fact, that it made Zhang Yuxi feel a little insecure.

Wang Lu was taken to the delivery room.

Lin Jiajun sat down with them.

Lin Feng asked, "How are you feeling?"

Lin Jiajun answered honestly, "Well, I'm a little excited, but less so since we know it's a boy. I was hoping for a daughter. A boy and a girl would have been perfect."

Many men become fathers when they're young and immature. Are they happy? Not necessarily. More often, they're just confused and conflicted about life.

Lin Feng had been thinking of leaving, but since Wang Lu was already in the delivery room, he decided to wait a little longer.

Time ticked by. Lin Daan and his wife, along with Wang Lu's parents, were all waiting. Third Aunt held little Xiao Wen's hand. "Mommy is going to give you a little brother soon. Are you happy?"

But Xiao Wen replied, "I don't want a little brother! I want a little sister!"

"Well... Mommy and Daddy don't get to decide if it's a brother or a sister."

Xiao Wen fell silent.

After waiting for over an hour, a woman who had gone in after Wang Lu had already given birth. It was a little princess.

Lin Jiajun was green with envy.

Another half hour went by before Wang Lu gave birth to a healthy, seven-and-a-half-pound baby boy. When the nurse brought him out, everyone crowded around for a look. He was red and wrinkly, but adorable.

Wang Lu was helped out of the delivery room by two nurses, her face completely drained of color.

"You guys are still here." She managed a smile for Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi.

Zhang Yuxi felt a pang of sympathy for her. "We're leaving in a bit. You were amazing!"

Wang Lu smiled faintly.

After Wang Lu was settled in her room, they finally left.

Lin Jiajun walked them out. "Just give me a call about the shop."

Lin Feng asked, "Aren't you going to look after Wang Lu?"

"My mom's here, and I'll help take care of her too."

After leaving the hospital, Lin Feng drove back home.

The babies were all asleep, and the two mothers were discussing Wang Lu's delivery.

"You're back! Did Wang Lu have the baby?"

Lin Feng grunted in affirmation. "A seven-and-a-half-pound son."

Zhou Cuilan smiled. "They were really hoping for a daughter."

Zhao Lizhen asked, "Have you two eaten?"

"We have."

Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng returned to their room, where the babies were sleeping sweetly in their cribs. Lin Feng stood watching them for a while, overcome with emotion.

Time really does fly. In the blink of an eye, the babies are already a year old.

That night, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi shared an intimate moment.

Afterward, Zhang Yuxi lay in bed, her face flushed, thinking about the day's events.

"Honey, what if I get pregnant again?"

Lin Feng thought it was highly unlikely. He was always careful about protection, though there were occasional oversights.

He reassured her, "Don't worry about it. It won't happen."
