Elsewhere, An Lan drove all the way to Unity Road. There was a storeroom in her shop, and she called Liu Bo inside.

Seeing her grim expression, Liu Bo's heart clenched with anxiety.

"An Lan, don't be angry..."

Before he could finish, An Lan unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on him.

Liu Bo stood perfectly still, sensing that in that moment, An Lan truly wanted to beat him to death.

"You bastard! You men are all worthless!"

"Are you satisfied now? Happy?"

"Damn it, this must have been your plan all along! It must have been!"

"You used such a despicable trick! Liu Bo, I completely misjudged you."

An Lan's blows were quite heavy, but to Liu Bo, they felt like little more than scratching an itch.

Did I do something to make her angry? I've been so well-behaved lately!

An Lan grew tired. The air in the storeroom was stuffy, and she needed to get out for some fresh air immediately. Liu Bo followed behind her, stammering, "An Lan, can you please tell me what I did wrong?"

"I'll be better next time, okay?"

An Lan sat down. "Tell me, what am I to you?"

Liu Bo readily replied, "You're my darling, you're my baby, you're my queen!"

"Always have been?" An Lan asked.

Liu Bo nodded. "Always!"

An Lan shot him a look of disgust. "A man's mouth is nothing but a pack of lies!"

"..."

An Lan yawned. "There's something in my bag. See for yourself," she said through gritted teeth.

Liu Bo opened her bag, and an ultrasound report immediately caught his eye. He pulled it out, scanned it rapidly, and his gaze finally landed on the two words: "Early Pregnancy."

He asked in disbelief, "You're pregnant?"

An Lan was stunned for a moment. "Yeah!"

I can't believe it either. But then again, what's there to be shocked about? Damn it! He's a man, doesn't he have a clue?

Liu Bo calculated the dates. "It must have been around the time we got drunk. That has to be it..."

"And?" An Lan asked coldly.

Liu Bo blinked. "It's not my fault. You said you had a 'cold womb' and couldn't get pregnant, and you were the one who told me to take it off..."

An Lan's face darkened. "So, it's my fault? Is that it?"

If this damn man dares to say yes, I'm definitely not keeping this child!

Liu Bo shook his head frantically. "No, no! What I mean is, we have to pay for our mistake!"

An Lan was about to explode. "Pay?"

"So, let's have the baby, okay?" Liu Bo said cautiously. He moved closer, speaking with a mix of excitement and trepidation. "I may not be as rich as Brother Feng, but I'll love our child just as much!"

"I won't let you down. I'll treat you well for the rest of my life!"

"You see? This wasn't some scheme I plotted. It's a beautiful twist of fate!"

An Lan snorted. "Getting married and having a child isn't out of the question, but let's get one thing straight."

"If you treat me and the child poorly after we're married, or if you do anything to wrong me, we're getting a divorce!"

Liu Bo hastily swore, "I swear, that day will never come!"

An Lan lifted her chin. "Alright, then! Let's get the wedding over with quickly. A big belly doesn't look good in a wedding dress."

"What kind of wedding would you like?" Liu Bo asked, overjoyed.

An Lan thought for a moment. "Nothing too big or too expensive. Just make sure it's presentable and not shabby."

Goddamn it, I haven't even married him yet and I'm already trying to save money for this family. I really am a good woman!

「」

Just as Zhang Yuxi predicted, An Lan decided to keep the baby. When their parents heard the news, they were overjoyed. Although Liu Bo's family wasn't as well-off as An Lan's, he was a good person, and the fact that he could rein in their daughter was a huge plus.

The wedding was set for December, giving them two to three months to plan. The An Family couldn't let their daughter's wedding be too shabby.

After the last day of class at the end of the month, the long vacation would begin. Teacher Li sent a long list of reminders in the parent group chat and handed out a paper notice for parents to sign and return. The class had to collect all the signed slips.

After a month of school, only a handful of parents were consistently active in the group chat and enthusiastic in person. One of them was Shen Tiantian's mother, a very high-profile woman who was always clad in designer brands. Whatever she said in the group, one or two other parents would always chime in to flatter her. This time, she was asking the other parents about their vacation plans.

The families who could send their children to this school were all quite well-off, so taking a vacation, even an overseas one, was not an issue.

Parent A: It's too hot and crowded for a vacation. I don't feel like going anywhere. What about you, Mrs. Shen?

Shen Tiantian's Mom: If you're worried about the heat, just go somewhere that's like spring all year round. I'm planning to take my child to Hawaii or Bali. Anyone want to form a group and go with us?

Parent B: Hawaii and Bali? We'll pass. We'll probably just take the kids to an amusement park.

Parent C: It's too crowded. I don't want to go anywhere, and I'm not as wealthy as Mrs. Shen.

Shen Tiantian's Mom: Going to places like Hawaii doesn't cost that much. It's only about ten thousand yuan each time. I take my kid there almost every year.

That afternoon, when they picked up the children, the long holiday would begin.

Zhang Yuxi glanced at the group chat. "Honey, should we take the kids abroad for the holiday?"

Lin Feng was preparing dinner. "Sure. Where should we go?"

Zhang Yuxi thought of the chat. "How about Hawaii or Bali?"

Lin Feng had no objection. "Either is fine. We can ask the kids later."

There was a parent-teacher meeting right before the vacation began. The children played on the playground while the parents attended the meeting inside. Teacher Li once again went over vacation safety and gave the parents and children two assignments.

First, during the holiday, each child had to grow a potted flower. Any kind of flower was acceptable, but it was best to start from a seed. They would later label the pots with their names and display them in the classroom.

The second task was to collect ten different leaves and create a scrapbook, labeling where each leaf came from to help the children learn more about nature.

After giving out the assignments, Teacher Li clapped her hands. "Alright, on behalf of myself and all the other teachers, I wish all the children and parents a happy holiday!"

"Now, if you put your little chairs back properly, you can go home with your moms and dads!"

Waving goodbye, Teacher Li sent the children out of the school one by one.

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi left, holding their children's hands.

Lin Feng asked them, "What tasks did your teacher give you?"

The second child rushed to answer, "Collect leaves and plant flowers!"

The fourth child quickly added, "I want to grow an apple tree!"

The eldest was taken aback. "An apple isn't a flower, is it?"

The third child said with certainty, "An apple is a fruit!"

The fourth child argued, "But apple trees have flowers too!"

The second child, nestled in Zhang Yuxi's arms, declared, "I want to grow the prettiest flowers!"

Just then, a little girl called out to the fourth child. As luck would have it, it was Shen Tiantian.

Shen Tiantian had previously been the fourth child's deskmate, and she too was a mischievous little girl. When they sat together, they had a blast playing. Teacher Li had moved Shen Tiantian to sit with the quiet third child. Coincidentally, the third child sat between the eldest and the second. The new arrangement put Shen Tiantian right next to both the third and second child.

The third child couldn't be bothered with her, so she quickly bonded with the second. With the second child being so loud, Shen Tiantian's seat was changed yet again. Their seats weren't fixed; the teacher had them switch around randomly.

Over the past month, by some strange twist of fate, Shen Tiantian had sat with all four of the Lin family's children. Wherever Shen Tiantian was, there was sure to be a commotion. Even if her deskmate was a quiet person like the third child, she still had the students in front of and behind her. She could always find someone to talk to.

She got along best with the fourth and second children—one was as talkative as her, the other as mischievous. However, she was closest to the fourth child. That was because the second child was too pretty; Shen Tiantian couldn't compete.

Lin Feng had learned from his second and third children that whenever Shen Tiantian got a new skirt, new clothes, or new shoes, she would invariably show them off.

Why call it showing off and not sharing? Lin Feng judged it to be so because of the way his second child would imitate Shen Tiantian's tone of voice.

Shen Tiantian was very pretty, and her mother was quite beautiful as well. As for what her dad looked like, Lin Feng still hadn't seen him in the month since school had started.
