My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 734: Straight Man Behavior

The L City Education Bureau had many problems. If anyone else had been assigned, they would have found the situation incredibly daunting. Being capable didn’t necessarily mean one could make a clean sweep of all the major challenges. But Zhang Yuxi was different. No one dared to provoke her. This was precisely why the higher-ups had sent her here. As long as she handled this matter beautifully, a better future would be waiting for her.

Lin Feng cooked braised fish, stir-fried a vegetarian dish, and made a clear soup. Xiaobao was a growing girl and didn’t put her chopsticks down for the entire meal, constantly praising how delicious her father’s cooking was.

"Dad, after we finish eating, can you take me out for a ride?"

"On the electric scooter?"

"Yeah."

"You’re getting addicted to it, aren’t you?"

The weather was gradually warming up, making an evening ride on the electric scooter quite refreshing. Winter, on the other hand, had been a different story.

After dinner, Lin Feng told Xiaobao to go wash the dishes. He would check her homework while her mom was busy with work calls.

"Go on!"

Xiaobao pouted. "Dad, can you help me?"

Lin Feng refused firmly. "No. You’re a big girl in third grade now; you can wash the dishes by yourself." He added, "Your older brother and sisters learned to do housework at your age!"

Bringing Xiaobao with them this time was not only for a family reunion but also to teach her some responsibility.

Xiaobao pursed her lips and reluctantly went to the kitchen. A moment later, they could hear the sounds of her busily at work. To make things easier for her, their plates and utensils were all made of unbreakable stainless steel. When it came to their children’s education, Zhang Yuxi was always supportive. She peeked into the kitchen, then turned to Lin Feng and perfectly imitated their daughter’s sour expression.

Lin Feng held back a laugh and gestured for his wife to let her be. Worst case, I’ll just wash them again myself later.

"I’m going to get changed."

It was only a few dishes, but Xiaobao took a full half hour to wash them. When she emerged, her clothes and sleeves were soaked. Lin Feng told her to go find Zhang Yuxi. "Let Mom get you changed, and then we’ll head out."

Once everyone was ready, Lin Feng took his wife and daughter out for a ride on the electric scooter. Xiaobao had a phone watch and was quite busy, fielding calls from her classmates one moment and her older siblings the next.

"Honey, I’d like some milk tea," Zhang Yuxi said.

"I just saw a shop. Let’s go!"

Zhang Yuxi only drank milk tea occasionally. Now that she was reaching a certain age, she paid more attention to her health. She had no choice. Her husband was so young that she felt she had to work hard to keep up. Her arsenal was now filled with all sorts of anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and antioxidant skincare products.

Xiaobao wanted one too. "Daddy, I want a mango and strawberry one!"

Milk tea was incredibly popular these days, and even this small shop already had a line. Lin Feng parked the scooter to the side, and Zhang Yuxi and Xiaobao sat on a bench to wait while he went to queue.

He stood out conspicuously in the line. Nearly everyone who passed by did a double-take. The two young women in line behind Lin Feng were clearly there for him.

"Excuse me," one of them said sweetly. "Hi. Could we possibly cut in front of you?"

Hmm, she’s quite pretty and knows how to do her makeup. Not bad overall, Lin Feng thought.

He politely replied, "No."

The two young women were speechless.

The young man standing behind them couldn’t help but chuckle at Lin Feng’s bluntness, which made the two women even more embarrassed.

The girl who had spoken before wasn’t discouraged. "Hey, are you buying that for yourself or for your girlfriend?"

Whenever Lin Feng went out alone, he was bound to get hit on. He was used to it. He answered coolly, "I’m buying it for my wife and daughter."

His one sentence left the girl with nothing more to say.

Soon, it was Lin Feng’s turn. The young woman at the counter stared, stunned, for a good two or three seconds before finally processing his order. She had sold milk tea for a long time and had seen plenty of handsome guys, but this was the first time she had seen someone *this* handsome.

Lin Feng left with the milk tea. The two young women, having made their purchase, followed him with their eyes. When they saw the stunningly beautiful and elegant Zhang Yuxi, they both felt a pang of jealousy. Then, they watched the family of three ride off on their electric scooter. For some reason, the sight brought them an odd sense of comfort.

One of their boyfriends came over, his jaw dropping at Zhang Yuxi’s looks. "Wow, that woman is gorgeous!"

His girlfriend gave him a smack. "She’s already married and has a kid. In your dreams!" She then mentioned their failed attempt to talk to the man.

The boyfriend cried out in regret. "Wait, I know who they are!"

"Who?"

"He’s the richest man in the country, Lin Feng!"

The two friends froze on the spot. The one who had tried to talk to him stared wide-eyed. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am! Why would I lie? Haven’t you seen the news?"

They had, but they’d only thought he looked vaguely familiar. They never would have imagined that the nation’s wealthiest man would actually show up in L City.

Now that he was middle-aged, Lin Feng had started sporting some stubble, otherwise his wife would tease him about how young he looked. But once he grew it out, damn, the stubble only added to his mature, masculine charm. This left Zhang Yuxi feeling even more helpless. All she could do was trust her husband. What other choice did she have? Trying to fend off admirers day and night would be utterly exhausting.

The little episode quickly passed, and Lin Feng took his wife and daughter for a stroll through the L City night market. It was surprisingly lively. Although the goods for sale were things you could find anywhere, the atmosphere was perfect. The night markets in Yangcheng were basically just long food streets. Besides things to eat, there was only the commercial street built in the city center. It lacked the vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere of L City’s market.

A family with such exceptionally good looks was the center of attention wherever they went. It didn’t take long for people in the crowd to recognize them. After all, Xiaobao was a minor celebrity in her own right. But next to Lin Feng, Xiaobao’s fame was nothing.

When this year’s list of the wealthiest people came out, everyone was left scratching their heads. It was as if they were all wondering, "Besides having several incredibly gifted children and a beautiful wife, when did Lin Feng get so rich?" Add to that the fact that he was handsome and looked so young. Compared to the others on the list, the disparity in human attractiveness was stark.

The family had wanted to enjoy a pleasant stroll through the night market, but they found themselves stuck in the crowd, unable to move an inch. People were snapping photos and asking for autographs.

Xiaobao was suddenly reminded of that year, that day, that very moment... A sense of dread washed over her. I don’t want any more practice books! I don’t want anything!

"Daddy, let’s go home! Quick!" she urged.

Lin Feng’s smile was becoming strained. He had the same idea. "Let’s go, let’s go! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late." He could already see several people making calls, likely to spread the word.

When they got home, he checked Weibo. Sure enough, they were trending.

After washing up and getting ready for bed, Lin Feng called Tri Bao to ask how she was doing. Tri Bao had made the firm decision to move abroad and live with Shao Yang. She had even moved her entire Yangcheng studio over there.

It was daytime on her end of the video call, and she was having breakfast: milk and toast. Lin Feng’s heart ached seeing her simple meal. "You should hire an auntie who can cook," he said.

Tri Bao laughed. "Shao Yang already hired one, but she had to take a half-day off for personal reasons. She’ll be back at noon."

Lin Feng was a little more satisfied. "Where’s Shao Yang?"

"He’s at work," she said with a smile.

Lin Feng asked a few more questions about her daily life, and Tri Bao assured him everything was fine. She said there were some things she wasn’t used to at first, but she had already adapted.

All of the quads, except for the fourth, had experience studying abroad. They were serious students who went to learn, not just to get a diploma for show, so they had certainly learned how to endure hardship.
