My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 791: Even if She Gained Weight, She’s Still a Beautiful Woman
Er Bao, who was verbally sparring with Si Bao, gave a thumbs-up when she saw the dishes San Bao had ordered.
Turning around, she rattled off several more dishes without even needing the menu.
Si Bao repeatedly said that was enough. "Don’t waste food. We have to clean our plates, you know?"
Er Bao waved her hand dismissively. "Relax, I’ll definitely finish everything today, no problem. I’ve already taken my digestive tablets, HAHAHAHA."
Si Bao gave her a thumbs-up, unable to hide his admiration.
"Second Sister, you’re ruthless!"
Cupping her chin, Er Bao said with a grin, "Nonsense. It’s not often you treat us to a meal, so of course I have to eat until I have to brace myself against the wall on the way home."
Si Bao laughed and cursed, "You’ll burst! Aren’t you supposed to be on a diet? How are you going to lose weight eating like this? You’ll be whining again once you’ve gained it all back. Don’t take this chance to gorge yourself only to turn into a big fatty. It’s not worth it!"
With a look of indifference, Er Bao flicked her long hair. "I’m naturally beautiful. Even if I get fat, I’ll be a beautiful fat person. I’ll still be able to sweep a whole crowd of young hunks off their feet!"
Si Bao giggled. "You only act tough in front of us. If you have the guts, say that to your husband and see how he deals with you."
Er Bao scoffed, retorting stubbornly, "Him? You think I’m afraid of him? What a joke."
Si Bao slammed his hand on the table. "I dare you to say that again. If you do, you’ll have my respect."
Er Bao scoffed again and decisively repeated what she had just said, adding a sentence at the end. "He was just won over by my beauty. Besides, plenty of other handsome guys are infatuated with me."
Then, she heard Si Bao’s unrestrained laughter.
Xiao Bao held back his own laugh. "Sister Er Bao, Brother Si Bao just recorded that and sent it to your husband."
Er Bao’s face filled with shock. "You little thief, you’re trying to get me in trouble!"
Si Bao fiddled with his phone. "Tsk, you’re all talk. Just wait until your husband gets back and see how he deals with you."
Er Bao fell silent for two seconds, then laughed again. "Whatever. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Why worry about it now?"
Just then, the dishes began to arrive one after another.
Er Bao said, "Big Brother and Sister Cai Xia didn’t come today, and my husband isn’t here either. You have no idea how much money I’ve saved you."
Si Bao called for everyone to eat. He was a naturally fast eater with a huge appetite. He stood up, posturing as if he were about to devour the food like a whirlwind. "Eat more, talk less."
Er Bao yelled, "AHHH, you don’t play fair, you bastard! That one is mine!"
Xuan Jiayi and San Bao, long accustomed to this, simply served some food to Xiao Bao. In front of her future husband, Xuan Jiayi even said, "Your Brother Si Bao is getting crazier by the day. Don’t mind him."
San Bao’s expression was calm, as if nothing could ever faze him. It once led Xiao Bao to wonder if he had facial paralysis. I even naively asked Lin Feng to take San Bao for a check-up. What if it was facial paralysis? Better to discover it early and treat it early.
Ever since his older brothers and sisters had moved away, Xiao Bao had rarely spent time with them in person, mostly just chatting with them online. Even when they did eat together, Er Bao and Si Bao had never been this outrageous. Maybe it was because Mom and Dad were around before. Or maybe Brother Si Bao really is getting crazier.
Xiao Bao thought with a grin, I’d better eat faster and get some more, too. He then took out his phone and recorded the scene of the two eating like ravenous wolves, planning to show it to their parents later.
Finally, Er Bao admitted defeat. She couldn’t compete with Si Bao, who was naturally a much bigger eater, and waved her hands in surrender. "I... I can’t eat anymore... I’m done..."
Si Bao looked at her with contempt. "Pathetic."
Er Bao retorted, "Oh yeah? Well, you’re just slightly less pathetic, that’s all!"
They hadn’t ordered a huge amount, and since Er Bao had already eaten once before, there were two dishes left over. Si Bao waved a waiter over to pack them up. "These two will taste even better after they’re reheated."
Er Bao took a packet of digestive tablets from her bag and smiled at Si Bao. "Our little brother Si Bao is quite the homemaker now, isn’t he? Not even married yet, and you already have the thriftiness of a married man."
Si Bao laughed. "Of course. Our family is different from yours. We’re poor, and I’m not particularly capable, unlike you, the CEO, making tens of millions... hmm, hundreds of millions a year. Last year, you even made it onto the Forbes list, HAHA. We can’t possibly compare to you."
Er Bao tossed her head, looking proud. "Of course. I’m going to be a queen and make loads and loads of money, HAHAHAHA..."
Si Bao chuckled. "What for? What do you need all that money for?"
"Of course to find..." Er Bao caught herself just in time and yelled at Si Bao, "None of your damn business!"
Er Bao and Si Bao had loved to fight and argue since they were little. Since Er Bao could never win a physical fight against Si Bao, her verbal sparring skills had never lost a bout. Now in their thirties, they still acted like children whenever they met.
San Bao reminded the two, "Watch your language. Xiao Bao is still here."
Er Bao quickly added, "Xiao Bao, forget everything I just said. I’ll take you out to play later, and our family will have dinner together tonight. Since Big Brother isn’t here, it’s my treat."
Because Da Bao was too busy, Er Bao was usually the one responsible for keeping in touch with the siblings and organizing their get-togethers.
「 」
Meanwhile, after lunch, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi discussed the marriage arrangements with Cai Xia’s parents.
They didn’t ask for an excessive bride price, keeping it in line with the standard rates in Jingcheng. As for the dowry, Cai Xia’s parents already had a plan. On the groom’s side, Lin Feng also drew up a list of betrothal gifts, which both sets of parents reviewed with great satisfaction.
Both families were well aware of each other’s background and financial situation. If the Lin family only had Da Bao as a child, his marriage to Cai Xia would have been a match of equals. But the Lin family had several children, each one a dragon among people, so their family’s social standing was a bit higher. It made it seem like Cai Xia was marrying up, which was, in fact, the case.
Consider Er Bao’s in-laws, San Bao’s boyfriend, and Si Bao’s girlfriend from the Xuan family—any one of them would be considered a perfect match. What was truly impressive was that all these relationships were born from love, not arranged marriage alliances. What did this imply? It showed that the children were outstanding enough to know what they wanted and that the family was free of messy, troublesome affairs. Marrying into the Lin Family came with multifaceted benefits. Moreover, many families in Jingcheng hoped for their daughters to marry into the Lin family.
"I’ll host tonight. Let’s call all the kids over for dinner together."
That evening, they would be eating out.
Xiao Bao sat next to Lin Feng. He was still full from lunch, on top of all the snacks Er Bao had bought for him while they were out. He wasn’t hungry at all now and poked at his food for a few bites before putting down his chopsticks.
"Dad, I have something to show you."
Lin Feng leaned in to look. It was a hilarious video of Er Bao and Si Bao fighting over food at lunch.
"Send it to me. I’ll save it." It had been a long time since he’d seen a scene like that. Thinking about it made him feel quite nostalgic.
