Over here, Lin Feng had already begun preparing the ingredients for dinner. He planned to make a spicy dry pot duck. The babies' meal would be golden fried rice with bass, lotus seed and beef tripe soup, and a side of two vegetable dishes.

Lin Feng started busying himself in the kitchen, calling the babies over to help him with various small tasks. The four children gathered around the dining table, working as Lin Feng instructed. They played and laughed as they worked, and Shen Yuqing came over to help as well. Seeing how clumsy he was, it was clear he had never set foot in a kitchen before. Even his own daughter, Tian Tian, looked at him with disdain.

"Daddy, you're supposed to do it like this! You're so clumsy!"

After Lin Feng finished preparing the duck, the babies had also finished prepping the side dishes.

"Thank you, my little cuties!"

"You're welcome!"

As the babies played together, Shen Yuqing sat in the living room feeling a bit out of place. After a moment's hesitation, he went into the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help with?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "I'm almost done here, there's nothing left to do."

An embarrassed Shen Yuqing walked away. With nothing to do, he could only go and play with the babies.

Before long, the doorbell rang. The babies stood up in perfect unison and ran toward the door. Shen Yuqing followed them.

Zhang Yuxi and Liu Qing had returned.

When Shen Yuqing saw Zhang Yuxi, a flash of admiration flickered in his eyes.

The fourth baby said excitedly, "Mommy, Tian Tian's daddy is here!"

Zhang Yuxi hugged her fourth child. "Is that so?"

It was part of their homecoming ritual. She had to hug each of her precious children and kiss their foreheads.

Liu Qing picked up her daughter and asked with a smile, "Were you a good girl at Auntie's house today?"

Tian Tian nodded obediently. "Yes!" Then she pointed at Shen Yuqing and said happily, "Daddy's back."

When Liu Qing looked at her husband, her smile slowly vanished. "Oh, you're here."

Lin Feng's voice called out from the kitchen, "Dinner's ready!"

Shen Yuqing wanted to say that he shouldn't impose and that his family would go out to eat. But when he saw his daughter's eyes light up at the mention of food, he said nothing and quietly followed them to the table.

The babies were having bass, so the task of deboning the fish naturally fell to Lin Feng. In no time at all, he had meticulously separated the fish from the bones and placed the meat in a small bowl. While he worked, Lin Feng had the babies drink their lotus seed and beef tripe soup. Each baby got a small, mildly flavored bowl, which was just the right amount for them. It was a taste they could accept.

After finishing their soup, it was finally time for the main meal.

When Lin Feng returned to the adults' table, he found that everyone was waiting for him to take the first bite. The spicy dry pot duck he made was, of course, delicious beyond words. Liu Qing had initially felt a bit embarrassed about freeloading a meal. But for the sake of Lin Feng's culinary skills, what was a little shamelessness? Eating was what mattered most!

After a brief greeting upon her return, Liu Qing hadn't looked Shen Yuqing directly in the eye again. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, however, were as lovey-dovey as ever.

"Honey, here's a duck foot!"

"Honey, here's a duck wing. I saved a whole one just for you."

"Honey, this is a duck leg, with the skin still on!"

Liu Qing was speechless.

For some reason, this scene is just heartbreaking to watch!

Shen Yuqing silently found the other duck wing in the pot and placed it in Liu Qing's bowl.

Liu Qing was speechless.

In any case, the meal eventually came to an end. After cleaning up, Liu Qing's family of three headed home.

Before leaving, Liu Qing asked, "Director Lin, Yu Xi, if you know of any suitable housekeepers, please let me know."

There was still over a month until school started, and with the New Year approaching, it would be even harder to hire someone. For a person like her, who was used to having a housekeeper, life without one was quite difficult.

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Sure, I'll keep an eye out."

Shen Yuqing spoke very politely and apologetically. "I'm sorry for all the trouble we've caused you these past few days."

Zhang Yuxi waved her hand. "It was no trouble at all. We're friends, and fellow townspeople at that."

Watching the family of three leave, Zhang Yuxi sighed.

Lin Feng wrapped his arms around her from behind. "What are you sighing about?"

Zhang Yuxi didn't answer directly, instead saying, "Honey, I have the day off tomorrow. Do we have any plans?"

Lin Feng hadn't really thought about it. "What did you have in mind?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I want to spend some quality time with the babies! Take them out to have some fun."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Then let's go to Disneyland."

He had originally planned the trip for the New Year, but he moved it up because he knew it would be far too crowded then.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi grew excited. "Wow, that's great! I haven't been there in years!"

Lin Feng smiled as well. "Me neither."

He had gone once when he was a child. But as he got older, he lost interest in such places. Besides, there was no Disneyland in Yangcheng. You had to go to Modu for that. This would also be a good opportunity to visit Yu Zheng in Suzhou and Hangzhou. After all, Lin Feng still hadn't visited their new home since they moved.

Overjoyed like a child, Zhang Yuxi shared the exciting news with the babies. Her announcement was met with a chorus of delighted screams.

"Honey, let's go pack!" Zhang Yuxi shouted, then urged the children, "Quick, quick, let's go pack our things!"

Lin Feng shook his head and chuckled to himself. He opened an app to check for flights. It was just past seven o'clock, and there were plenty of flights from a big city like theirs. There were direct flights after nine, after eleven, and even at one in the morning, not to mention the countless flights with layovers.

Lin Feng purchased tickets for the eleven o'clock flight and booked a hotel near the airport. The hotel offered a shuttle service, which would make it easy for them to get there. His plan was to stay one night and then visit his aunt the next day. He also decided to take Chuan Chuan along with them.

Packing was left to Zhang Yuxi and the babies, while Lin Feng took Dabai and Feifei to the same pet boarding service they had used before. He hurried back, shut all the windows, and turned off the water and gas. Then he called property management to let them know he was going on a trip and asked them to keep an eye on the place.

By the time he finished, it was already past eight o'clock. Zhang Yuxi had not only packed their luggage but had also gotten everyone dressed and ready to go.

Lin Feng put on his coat, wrapped his scarf around his neck, and gave the luggage a quick final check. Everything was in order. They were ready to depart!

After a flight of over two hours, they arrived in Suzhou-Hangzhou. The hotel had already sent their shuttle service to pick them up. Once they settled into their room, the exhausted babies fell asleep the moment they hit their beds. By then, it was already past midnight.

The babies slept soundly and didn't wake up until almost noon the next day. Lin Feng had called Sun Rou well in advance, just to make sure she wouldn't be out when they arrived.
