There was a supermarket just outside the villa complex, so a round trip didn't take long.
When Lin Feng returned, he noticed that Zhang Yuxi had dressed up a bit. Her delicate features and fair skin radiated beauty. Feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Feng's appreciative gaze, Zhang Yuxi cleared her throat softly.
"Honey, you look gorgeous," Lin Feng said, his face full of admiration.
Just then, Second Treasure ran over, wearing a new dress.
"Daddy, what about me? What about me?"
Lin Feng picked her up and gave her a kiss. "Our little princess, Second Treasure, is beautiful too!"
Looking at his daughter's slightly curly hair, he felt a bit puzzled. Wasn't her hair in a bun when I left?
"Um... when I was changing Second Treasure's clothes, her bun came undone..." Zhang Yuxi explained. "I tried to redo it, but nothing looked right..."
Hearing her explanation, Lin Feng understood. He sat Second Treasure on his lap, took a small comb, and began to gently brush her hair.
"Second Treasure, tell Daddy if it hurts."
Second Treasure nodded.
This time, Lin Feng wove her hair into adorable four-strand braids. Third Treasure watched him eagerly. Lin Feng knew what she wanted, so as soon as he finished with Second Treasure's hair, he called out, "Come here, Third Treasure!"
Third Treasure was incredibly cute, and Lin Feng had always wanted to give her bangs. He hadn't found the right opportunity yet. Next time they have a bath, I'll give both of them bangs. They'll look so adorable.
Once everyone was ready, Lin Feng checked the time and started cooking.
「Meanwhile」
Jiang Chenchen's parents went to the market and bought all sorts of fruit. They also picked up some toys, along with a fish and a chicken. Mrs. Jiang held her son as they rode on their electric scooter, with the bags hanging from the handlebars.
"Honey, do you know the address?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
"Yes, Cui Lake Villas," he replied.
Mrs. Jiang was surprised. "Cui Lake Villas? That's an exclusive neighborhood."
Mr. Jiang hummed in agreement. "I heard Mr. Lin is wealthy. It's not surprising for rich people to live in villas."
Mrs. Jiang frowned. "Are the gifts we bought enough? It feels like it's not much."
Mr. Jiang thought for a moment. "It'll have to do for now. If we see something suitable on the way, we can buy more. We're already late as it is."
Mrs. Jiang could only relent. "Alright, but please ride slowly."
"You just hold onto our son tight. Put your helmet on, too. We'll get fined if they stop us," her husband said.
"I know, I know. Don't worry about us, just 'drive' carefully," Mrs. Jiang retorted.
Her husband chuckled as he rode. "'Drive'? You'd think I was in a car."
Mrs. Jiang slapped his back. "Just ride and quit your chattering."
After riding for a solid half hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Cui Lake Villas. The guard on duty stood ramrod straight, staring ahead without any intention of opening the gate for them. Mr. Jiang had no choice but to call Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was in the kitchen, so he had Zhang Yuxi answer the phone.
"Okay, I'm coming out to get you now!" Zhang Yuxi said.
Zhang Yuxi, leading a grand procession of four children and a dog, went to the main gate to greet them. Seeing her children about to rush toward Jiang Chenchen, Zhang Yuxi quickly called out, "Don't get too close! Your uncle is still on the scooter!"
Mr. Jiang lifted his son off the scooter.
Dabai went over to sniff him. Jiang Chenchen was both excited and scared.
Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Don't be afraid. He's very gentle with children."
The children couldn't wait to play with Jiang Chenchen. They eagerly led him back toward the house, with Zhang Yuxi following them.
"Run slower, be careful not to fall," she called out.
She wasn't so worried about them falling, but about the cars in the neighborhood.
Zhang Yuxi turned back. "Mr. Jiang, please follow me. I'll lead the way."
"Okay, okay."
Mrs. Jiang looked around in awe. "Wow, this is my first time inside a neighborhood like this. It's so different from the others."
Her husband said, "Honey, once I make enough money, I'll buy you a villa to live in too."
"That would be wonderful!"
She paused, then added, "But Mrs. Lin is so beautiful, just like a movie star. No wonder their kids are all so good-looking." Then she gasped. "Oh no! Weren't we supposed to buy something else if we saw it on the way? We didn't get anything!"
"Don't worry about it," Mr. Jiang comforted her. "We're visiting with a sincere heart. That's what matters, not what they think. Besides, they aren't short on money. They probably won't care about a few small gifts."
Hearing her husband's reasoning, Mrs. Jiang felt it made sense and dropped the subject.
「In no time, they arrived at a three-story villa.」
The main gate was open.
"You can just park in the yard," Zhang Yuxi said with a smile.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the imposing villa before her and felt a bit conflicted.
But then again, everyone has their own life. There's no need to compare. There are plenty of people richer than us, and plenty more who are worse off. It all comes down to whether you're content with what you have.
Thinking this, Mrs. Jiang felt much better.
At the entryway, slippers had already been laid out for them. Lin Feng had even bought a pair for Jiang Chenchen when he was at the supermarket.
When Zhang Yuxi saw Mr. Jiang laden with bags, she took them from him. "You really didn't have to buy all this. We have plenty at home."
Mr. Jiang chuckled. "We couldn't possibly come to visit empty-handed."
Zhang Yuxi smiled. "We really don't mind. Please, make yourselves at home. Don't be formal. I'll go cut up some fruit for you."
"Oh, no, please don't trouble yourself," Mrs. Jiang said quickly.
Zhang Yuxi went into the kitchen, where Lin Feng was already slicing fruit. She waited beside him.
"They brought fruit, a fish, a chicken, and some toys," she told him.
Lin Feng remarked casually, "They're being too polite." He handed the fruit platter to Zhang Yuxi. "Have the children wash their hands and eat some fruit."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had been pulled away by their son to look at the toys. In the living room's play area, the contents of seven or eight toy baskets had been dumped out by the children.
Fourth Treasure declared magnanimously, "You can play with all of them."
Second Treasure held up a doll for Jiang Chenchen to see. "Isn't this one pretty?"
Jiang Chenchen didn't care much for dolls, but the one in Second Treasure's hands was truly exquisite, with very fine craftsmanship. He nodded. "It's pretty!"
There were so many toys. He eagerly showed them off to his parents, as if they were precious treasures.
Mr. Jiang whispered, "Son, it's okay to look, but don't break any of your friend's things, okay? Put them back when you're done, understand?"
Jiang Chenchen nodded and turned to play with the other children.
Next to the play area was the indoor playground Lin Feng had built. It had a slide, a small basketball hoop, a swing set, a ball pit, and more. Little Jiang Chenchen was suddenly overwhelmed with choices, torn between the toys and the playground.
