The next day, Lin Feng got up to make breakfast.

The kitchen was twice the size it had been before, and Lin Feng couldn't have been happier. He hummed a little tune as he cooked for his wife and children and scheduled a time with the workers coming to install the security cameras.

After breakfast, Lin Feng and the kids started to set up the swing. He had bought everything from a local seller who also offered to handle the installation, conditions permitting. The tree they chose must have been several hundred years old; they didn't need to worry in the slightest about the branches breaking. After all, the main bough was as thick as an adult's leg.

After toiling all morning, the swing was finally ready to use!

Lin Feng waved his hand grandly. "Wait, let Daddy test its safety!"

He sat on it, swinging back and forth, back and forth…

Wow. He felt like a kid again. Swinging higher and higher, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

The four children stared. "..."

Uh, should we interrupt Daddy? But we really want to play too!

The quads hesitated, but the ever-sweet Second Treasure shouted, "Daddy, come down! You're too high! You might fall!"

At first, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi thought Second Treasure was just worried about him. But once Lin Feng came down, Second Treasure got on to demonstrate.

"Daddy, look, you have to do it like this, with a small arc…"

Then, her loud laughter echoed through the yard.

"Hahaha, this is so much fun! I feel like I'm flying!"

Seeing how happy Second Treasure was, the other children looked on with envy.

Fourth Treasure looked up. "Second Treasure, can I play for a while?"

Second Treasure gradually slowed to a stop. "Sure, let's take turns! Let Third Treasure go first!"

When Third Treasure got on, the swing wobbled slightly, and she let out a frightened yelp. "Ah!"

Fourth Treasure and First Treasure rushed to steady the ropes while Second Treasure helped Third Treasure get properly seated.

Second Treasure soothed her, "Don't be scared, Third Treasure, we'll go slow!" Then she told First and Fourth Treasure, "Let's hold her steady while you two push her gently."

Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng, who were planning the layout of the yard nearby, felt their hearts warm at this scene. With so many children, their biggest worry was that the little ones would fight amongst themselves. Because of this, the couple tried their best to treat every child equally. Fortunately, the siblings had always had a good relationship.

Third Treasure was still scared. After sitting for just a moment, she scurried back down.

As everyone was trying to encourage her, Lin Feng came over. "If Third Treasure doesn't want to play, the rest of you can go ahead!"

Whether at an amusement park or anywhere else, Third Treasure always clung to Lin Feng. She only dared to play when he was with her.

Lin Feng crouched down. "How about Daddy plays with you later, okay?"

Third Treasure hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Even First Treasure had a wonderful time on the swing. After they each had a few turns, none of them had had their fill and wanted to keep playing.

Just then, the security camera installers arrived.

As soon as the man saw Lin Feng, he smiled. "I didn't expect it to be you, sir!"

Lin Feng couldn't place him at first.

"I'm the one who installed the cameras for you at the Cuilake Villa. In the blink of an eye, so many years have gone by."

Lin Feng finally remembered. "Oh, it's you guys!"

He turned to Zhang Yuxi. "Honey, you and the kids keep playing. I'll go inside and see if they need any help."

"Okay."

He ended up being busy right up until it was time to eat. Lin Feng asked the kids to call the workers down for the meal.

Fourth Treasure trotted downstairs. "Daddy, the uncles said they're not going to eat!"

Second Treasure turned her head. "I'll go!"

A moment later, Second Treasure came back down with the three workers. Lin Feng was a little surprised. The dining table here was huge and could easily accommodate ten people.

The three men were clearly a bit reserved, only eating the food placed directly in front of them.

Lin Feng prompted them, "Don't be shy. Make yourselves at home. There's plenty of food, so please, eat up."

Second Treasure said with a grin, "Yeah, my daddy's cooking is the best!"

With her mouth full of rice, she added, "That's right! In the whole world, there's no food better than what Dad makes!"

Only then did the three men start helping themselves to the other dishes.

After the children finished eating, Zhang Yuxi took them out for a walk while Lin Feng went to help with the installation. They were busy until past eight in the evening, when the work was finally complete.

「And so, the day ended.」

Late that night, a thought occurred to Zhang Yuxi, and she drowsily asked, "Honey, since we've moved into a new house, should we invite everyone over? You know, as a housewarming celebration."

Lin Feng gently patted her back as if soothing a child. "Hmm, that's a good idea."

「The next day,」

Lin Feng started calling his close relatives and friends in Yangcheng, including Liu Qing, Jiang Chenchen and his father, and others.

By afternoon, Lin Feng was busy playing the role of a master chef, while Zhang Yuxi and the children decorated the new house to make it look more festive.

Ever since the yard had gotten bigger, Da Bai and Fei Fei had been ecstatic. Their favorite thing to do was bask in the sun, living a life of pure bliss.

Doing a quick headcount, there would be An Lan's family of five, including her mother; Liu Qing and her daughter; Lin Jiajun's family of four; and Jiang Chenchen and his father. There was also Tony, Ming Guang, Qin Xiaoan, and a few others. All of them were on good terms with Lin Feng and were his acquaintances in Yangcheng.

An Lan was the first to arrive, and she started screaming the moment she walked through the door.

"Damn you, you bought a new house and didn't even tell me! So much for loyalty!"

Zhang Yuxi said with a smile, "I didn't know either. I only found out after Lin Feng had already bought it. We've been so busy with the new house these past few days we didn't have time to let you know!"

An Lan pulled Zhang Yuxi by the arm. "Come on, show me around!"

An Lan would be lying if she said she wasn't envious. Everyone wants to live a good life.

Standing on the enormous third-floor balcony, An Lan gazed out at the view, her heart filled with envy.

"Wow. When will I ever have enough money to buy a house here?"

In her eyes, the villa at Cuilake Villa was already incredibly nice. In recent years, property values there had risen rapidly due to all the surrounding development. Setting aside its value, the layout of that villa had been An Lan's favorite, but now she was seeing this place.

Damn it, it's so good to be rich! There's no best, only better!

Zhang Yuxi said with a laugh, "We have a large family, and the kids will be in fourth grade after the summer break. They're getting bigger every day, so the Cuilake Villa was getting a bit tight. I'd wanted to buy a new house for a while, but places this large are rare. It's all thanks to Lin Feng's resourcefulness!"

An Lan's tone was sour with jealousy. "Yes, yes, your husband is the most amazing! He's incredible, out of this world!"

A look of pride washed over Zhang Yuxi's face. "Of course he is!"

From the day they got married until now, she'd had almost no worries; Lin Feng solved every problem with ease. For a woman, marrying Lin Feng was both lucky and a true blessing.

An Lan rubbed her chin. "The decorations in this house are so luxurious. A place like this must have cost tens of millions, at least."

Zhang Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't really have a concept of money anymore."

An Lan reached out and pinched Zhang Yuxi's cheek. "Have you no shame? Seriously? That kind of talk is pure Versailles literature!"

Zhang Yuxi was being completely serious with her humblebrag.

"I really don't have a concept of money. Lin Feng buys me everything. If I had to buy something myself, I feel like I could afford anything I set my eyes on."

An Lan glared at her. "Rich lady, take me in! I'm really easy to take care of!"

Zhang Yuxi asked, "What can you do? Do you have any special skills?"

"Eating, drinking, and having fun. Does that count?"

"Then forget it."

"Hey, don't be like that! I can act cute, and I can whisper sweet nothings to cheer you up!"

"Forget it. You're not as cute as my Third Treasure, nor are you as good at coaxing people as my Second Treasure! Raising you wouldn't be very useful."

"Get lost, you're useless!"

"Call me Mom!"

"Mommy!"

Zhang Yuxi looked at An Lan in shock. "…You're really something else!"

"Mom, hurry up and give your daughter a few million to spend!"

"Not even if you call me Ancestor!"

"Damn it, I was careless and let you take advantage of me! Get lost!"

An Lan often felt that her life wasn't what she wanted it to be.

But upon reflection, Liu Bo was a good man, full of responsibility and love for her and their child. For the many years of their marriage, he had cherished her like a treasure. Even so, every time she woke up in the middle of the night, or when she was taking care of the child alone, she felt like something was missing—an empty void inside her.

Staring straight ahead, the answer finally dawned on An Lan.

So, it was jealousy. She was, of course, happy that her best friend was living a good life. But once she got married herself, their similar lives became a point of comparison, and the darker side of human nature gradually began to surface. However, she now saw things with sudden clarity! Liu Bo could never become a man like Lin Feng, and she could never have a life as good as Zhang Yuxi's. That being the case, when she re-examined her own life, it was actually quite wonderful!

"Yuxi?"

"Hmm?"

"If one day, I'm completely down and out, would you take me in?"

"Of course! You're my best friend, after all!"

An Lan grinned and said nothing more.
