After they went upstairs, Zhang Yuxi asked with a mysterious look on her face, "Do you know… who I ran into today?"

An Lan excitedly rubbed her hands together. "Don't tell me yet, let me guess first."

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Okay."

An Lan thought for a moment. "For you to be this excited yet hesitant to speak, could it be Du Qian? What happened, are they breaking up? Is the wedding off?"

Seeing her gloating, Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "It's not that!"

An Lan raised an eyebrow. "Not that? Then what is it? Give me a hint."

Zhang Yuxi shook her head again. "If I give you a hint, you'll guess it easily. What fun would that be?"

An Lan nodded. "True, that wouldn't be a challenge for me, and that's no fun!"

She sized up Zhang Yuxi again and suddenly revealed a secretive smile. "Spill it. Did you meet Director Lin's ex-girlfriend?"

Zhang Yuxi was genuinely shocked, covering her mouth as she asked, "How did you guess that?"

An Lan clapped her hands. "Damn, I really guessed it? Hurry up and tell me, what does Director Lin's ex-girlfriend look like? Is she pretty?"

At the mention of this, Zhang Yuxi gracefully tossed her hair. "Are you kidding me? Who can compare to me? I'm a goddess descended to Earth, you know?"

An Lan was speechless. "…"

"Sis, even though that was a bit shameless, I have to admit you're right. So, what happened next?"

Zhang Yuxi then told An Lan all about the encounter with Wang Yao. Since the matter was already over, she might as well share the whole story.

Twenty minutes later, An Lan was filled with regret.

"My God, if I had been there with you guys, would that woman have even had the nerve to show her face? I would've skinned her alive!"

An Lan was so exasperated by Wang Yao's actions she had to laugh. Then a thought struck her, and she began to gloat.

"Right now, she must be kicking herself with regret, probably bawling her eyes out. I bet she's at home, beating her chest and stamping her feet. Tsk, tsk, tsk, serves her right!"

Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but laugh as well. "Honestly, I wanted to tear her apart. But I didn't want to leave Lin Feng with the impression that I was a harsh person. Besides, I could tell that Lin Feng truly has no feelings for her."

An Lan nodded. "That's true. If he had any lingering attachment, it's so easy to find someone these days. And besides, Director Lin is wealthy. Taking care of something like that under your nose would be a piece of cake for him."

Zhang Yuxi thought so too.

Deep down, she was actually grateful to Wang Yao. Without her being so clueless, how could she have ever met such a wonderful man?

An Lan sighed. "You two are really lucky. If you had ended up with Lu Boyu and Lin Feng had ended up with that green tea bitch, neither of you would have been happy."

Meanwhile, Wang Yao simply couldn't accept reality. After resigning, she returned to her rented apartment and used every connection she had to find out any news about Lin Feng, desperate to contact him. She was even willing to become a complete bootlicker.

The next day, Lin Feng learned from Jiang Anmin that Wang Yao had spent the previous night asking everyone for his contact information. It seemed she hadn't given up.

Lin Feng said nonchalantly, "I ran into Wang Yao yesterday."

With that single sentence, Jiang Anmin understood everything. "I get it. Leave this to me."

Lin Feng then asked curiously, "What do you have in mind?"

Jiang Anmin gave a slight smile. "I have a friend with some connections. If she keeps pestering you, I'll have him step in."

Lin Feng understood. "Thanks, brother!"

"We're brothers, so what's with all the thanks?"

These few days were when the duckling eggs were due to hatch. Having gone through this twice before with the chicks and quails, the children's excitement wasn't as intense as it had been. Yet, the moment they saw the fluffy little ducklings, they were happier than anyone. They were little yellow ducklings, unbelievably adorable as they waddled about. Fourth Treasure even tried to imitate them!

The chicks and quails had all hatched with strong vitality, and none had died in the days that followed. The children were all taking excellent care of their little babies.

San Bao even had a sudden insight. "Mommy, taking care of little babies is so tiring."

"Yes, it is. Because the babies are still small, they need careful nurturing to grow up quickly."

"Is it this tiring for you and Daddy to take care of me?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Yes, it's very tiring, but Mommy is very happy!"

San Bao hugged Zhang Yuxi and gave her a kiss. "Mommy, I love you!"

"I love you too, my sweet baby!"

「That night, in his sleep.」

The system's voice suddenly sounded.

DING!

[For enabling the host's babies to experience the birth of new life, thus fulfilling your paternal responsibilities, you are hereby rewarded!]

[Reward: One building of the Chuxue International Hotel at Donghae Resort!]

The next morning, Lin Feng was getting something from his bag when he remembered the system's reward from the previous night. He opened his backpack, which now seemed to function as a system inventory, and took out the file folder. After reading the documents carefully, Lin Feng was astonished. This reward was countless times greater than the previous one of an entire building floor.

Donghae was located in the country's far east, near the northern region. There, it was winter all year round with constant, heavy snowfall. As cities evolved, Donghae had also been developing at a rapid pace, becoming the nation's premier destination for ski resorts.

The area below the ski slopes was filled with four and five-star resort hotels, all boasting top-tier luxury amenities. So far, five hotels had been successfully established. Further construction was no longer approved by the authorities, and no amount of money could change that. Therefore, these five hotels had become the only designated accommodations in all of Donghae.

Naturally, the prices were stunningly high.

The hotel the system had given Lin Feng was named the Chuxue International Hotel. It was built later than the other four, but its facilities and amenities were beyond compare. The hotel's design was also different, offering three types of rooms:

One-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom at 62 square meters.

Two-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom at 84 square meters.

Three-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom at 128 square meters.

The first two types were more common. The third type, despite its description, was more akin to an ultra-luxurious presidential suite. The price for a single night's stay was nothing short of staggering. You couldn't get a room just by having money; you had to book half a month in advance.

This time, however, the system hadn't taken care of all the paperwork for him like it did with Xinghao International.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Lin Feng rubbed his chin. "It's nothing!"

He nonchalantly placed the file back into his backpack. "Let's go eat."

Since An Lan had left, Modu experienced its first heavy snowfall in years. It had been snowing for a week, and a thick layer covered the ground. Around noon, the children would put on their little gloves to roll snowballs and build snowmen together. This snow was nothing like the heavy, goose-feather blizzards of the north; they had to wait for a full day of snowfall to have enough to play with.

After lunch, Lin Feng suggested a trip to Donghae. If it hadn't snowed this year, the thought might not have crossed their minds. But because it had, giving them a taste of snow without truly satisfying their craving, the idea was incredibly tempting.

But… the price…

A trip to Donghae would mean staying for at least three or four days. The hotel costs and daily expenses would be no small sum. Zhang Fuyong had been there once before, and the memory of the bill still made him wince. It was a painful expense. Thus, he felt it was necessary to remind Lin Feng.

"The hotels there are expensive because of their exclusivity. And you have to book them half a month in advance."

Lin Feng was silent for a moment before he said, "Dad, have you heard of the Chuxue Hotel?"

"Yes, I have."

"I bought it."
