Hearing this, Zhang Fuyong, who was drinking tea, sprayed it everywhere. His eyes widened as he stared at Lin Feng in utter shock.

"What did you just say?" he sputtered. "You bought back the Chuxue Hotel? Are you kidding me?"

"Do you have any idea what that hotel's market value is right now?"

"It's not as if they'll sell it just because you want to buy it!"

Lin Feng paused for a moment before replying, "Dad, I'm not kidding. I really did buy the hotel."

Zhang Fuyong was dumbfounded. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that..." This is unbelievable.

He knew his son-in-law was wealthy. After all, his tens of billions made him a magnate even in a place like Modu. But even for people at that level, the hotel wasn't something one could buy just because they wanted to.

"Dad, I'll go pack our things," Lin Feng said, changing the subject.

After that, he told Zhang Yuxi the news. Zhang Yuxi always went along with Lin Feng's plans, so the couple began packing together.

"Honey, should we invite An Lan's parents to come with us?" she asked. The two families were incredibly close, and they had been a huge help this time around.

Lin Feng smiled. "Mom's already calling to invite them."

Zhang Yuxi looked a bit wistful. "An Lan already left. If she knew about this, I wonder how much she'd regret it."

Zhao Lizhen was on the phone with An Lan's parents, inviting them to join the family on a trip to Donghaidao.

An Lan's mother hesitated for a moment before saying with a polite smile, "The two of us will pass. Your family should go and have a wonderful time."

Zhao Lizhen knew her friend well. "Oh, come on. It won't cost much for the two of you."

"Besides, it's so rare for all of us to be free at the same time. If we don't go on a trip together now, when will we?"

An Lan's mother sighed. "If it were just you and Old Zhang inviting us, I'd agree in a heartbeat. I'd even offer to pay for everything! But since your son-in-law is the one making the invitation, it would be awkward for us to tag along."

Zhao Lizhen frowned slightly. "What's awkward about it? It was Lin Feng who asked me to call and invite you both."

But An Lan's mother was firm. "Lin Feng is a good kid, and I appreciate the thought, truly. You all have a great time!"

Ultimately, she was just worried about the expense and felt it was inappropriate since she wasn't immediate family.

Zhang Fuyong, who had been listening nearby, held out his hand. "Give me the phone. I'll talk to her."

Zhao Lizhen raised an eyebrow as if to say, Oh, so you think you have a way?

Zhang Fuyong took the phone and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the cost at all. Lin Feng said he already bought the Chuxue Hotel! It's our family's property now."

Zhao Lizhen stared at her husband in horror.

On the other end of the line, there was a sharp gasp.

After he hung up, Zhao Lizhen finally found her voice. "What did you just say?"

Zhang Fuyong chuckled, teasing her like a child. "Didn't you hear me? Are those ears of yours just for show?"

She swatted his hand away. "Stop messing around and talk to me properly!" she demanded, her eyes shining.

Zhang Fuyong grinned like a fool. "Our son-in-law... he bought the hotel!"

"That can't be true. Are you sure he wasn't scammed?"

"I saw the documents myself. It's real."

"But... he's been with us all day! When could he have possibly done this? And for something so huge, why didn't he mention anything to us?"

"Our kids are all grown up. It's normal for them to have their own ways of doing things."

Zhao Lizhen was speechless for a long moment. Finally, a smile spread across her face. "Tell me, how is our son-in-law so incredible? He's so much more capable than you were at his age!"

Zhang Fuyong glared. "Hey, I wasn't so bad when I was young! How else do you think I managed to win you over?"

Zhao Lizhen snorted. "I was probably blind back then. I guess our daughter just has incredibly sharp judgment when it comes to people!"

「The next day」

When they arrived at Donghaidao, the world was a vast expanse of white. The babies, bundled in colorful little down jackets that made them look like chubby, round balls, excitedly sprawled out on the snow, their eyes sparkling with delight.

Zhang Yuxi was as excited as the children. Looking at the cable cars, she exclaimed, "Honey, honey, we have to ride that!"

Lin Feng glanced over. "Alright."

Hearing their mother's excitement, the babies were convinced it must be something wonderful and clamored to go. Er Bao, who loved being part of the fun, shouted, "Mommy, I want to go too!"

Si Bao, who had been too distracted by the snow to hear her mother at first, quickly chimed in, "Mommy, Si Bao wants to go too!"

Da Bao, the chubbiest and cutest of the bunch, tilted his little face up and panted, "Da Bao... Da Bao wants to go too!"

Meanwhile, San Bao quietly hugged her father's leg and said timidly, "Wherever Daddy goes, San Bao will go."

Lin Feng smiled helplessly. "Alright, alright!"

When their car reached the base of the mountain, Lin Feng pointed to a cable car gliding overhead. "Are you sure you want to go up?"

From the babies' perspective, these things could just move through the sky. So cool! This thought made them even more eager to go up and take a look.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, they were struck by an immediate sense of luxury. The manager and his staff were already waiting, lined up to welcome Lin Feng's group respectfully—a scene straight out of a television drama. Even Zhang Fuyong and Zhao Lizhen, who had seen their share of the world, felt a little flustered inside, though they managed to keep their composure.

Lin Feng gave a casual wave. "You can all go back to what you were doing."

The manager was a foreigner, but he spoke Lin Feng's native dialect with a flawless accent. "Director Lin, I have arranged this staff for you. They are at your service 24 hours a day. Whatever you wish, they can handle it for you."

Lin Feng nodded. "Thank you."

The man looked genuinely flattered. "You are too kind, Director Lin!"

Afterward, they were led to their suite. The hotel was comprised of three buildings—A, B, and C—each with different suite layouts. Their suite was in Building C. Although it was the farthest, it had the best location, offering magnificent views of both the sunrise and sunset. The vantage point was simply perfect.

Lin Feng's family had their own private suite, which was not available to the public. Upon entering, they saw that the décor was incredibly luxurious. Each of the three bedrooms even had its own private hot spring. The one in the master bedroom was enormous, easily large enough for the entire family of six to soak in together.

What truly captured their attention, however, was the massive floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, which offered an unobstructed, panoramic view of the snow-covered landscape.

There was another striking feature: a huge, built-in aquarium, where colorful fish swam back and forth.

The babies immediately pressed themselves against the glass, squealing with delight.

"Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma..."

"Come look! There are so many pretty little fishies here!"

"Yeah, yeah, hurry, come look!"

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi went over, followed by Zhao Lizhen and the others. The tank measured about 1.8 by 2 meters and was beautifully decorated; it was no wonder the children were so captivated.

After watching with the children for a while, the others went to unpack, leaving Zhang Yuxi with them. The more time she spent with her children, the more childlike she became herself.

"Wow, look at that one," she said, her voice filled with wonder. "What kind of fish is that? It's so beautiful!"

The babies' eyes sparkled like stars.
