This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 350 A Lively Family

Tang Xiaorui walked forward confidently, while Tang Xiaofu lagged slightly behind, her expression still somewhat tense.

Lin Feng then pointed to Su Wan: "This is Su Wan, the counselor at Jingjing Strange School."

From now on, we won't have to worry about our children's education at all.

Su Wan, supporting her pregnant belly, nodded slightly to the two of them and smiled gently: "Hello."

Lin Feng then pointed to Vivian: "This is Vivian, the medical officer of Abyss Prison. She has exceptional medical skills."

"Whether it's an adult or a child, if they ever have a headache, fever, or feel unwell, we can rest assured with her around."

Vivian waved to the two of them, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "From now on, we're sisters. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

Tang Xiaorui spoke first, her voice clear and crisp: "Hello, both of you! My name is Tang Xiaorui, and I am an illustrator."

She blinked, a hint of pride in her voice: "That... the illustrations in 'The Forest Fairy Tales' were drawn by me."

Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward slightly: "What?! 'The Collection of Ghostly Fairy Tales'?"

She held her pregnant belly and walked quickly towards Tang Xiaorui, grabbing her hand in one swift motion:

"Did you draw the illustrations in that book? I love them so much!"

"Especially that fox under the moonlight, and that herd of deer in the forest—oh my god, I've been looking at that book every day for prenatal education lately, the illustrations are so soothing!"

Tang Xiaorui was a little embarrassed by her enthusiasm:

"Really? I'm glad you like it!"

"Of course I like it!" Su Wan pulled her towards the sofa. "Come, come, sit down, let's have a good chat..."

Vivian stepped forward and extended her hand to Tang Xiaofu.

"Hello, Xiaofu." Her voice was gentle, carrying a reassuring strength. "Welcome home."

"From now on, we're sisters. Feel free to tell me anything."

"We're all easy to get along with, so you don't need to be nervous."

Tang Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the hand extended in front of her.

She hesitated for a second, then reached out and gently shook hands with Vivian.

"Hello," she said softly.

The moment their hands clasped, Vivian's eyes narrowed slightly.

She didn't loosen her grip; instead, she tightened it slightly, her gaze falling on Tang Xiaofu's face as she scrutinized her for a few seconds.

"Xiaofu," she said softly, a hint of seriousness in her voice, "have you been sleeping poorly lately, waking up easily?"

Tang Xiaofu was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"

Vivian smiled and released her grip: "I'm a medical officer, after all."

"Your blood and qi are a bit weak, probably because you've been too stressed lately."

"I'll take care of you and make you some soups, and you'll gradually recover."

Looking at the woman with the warm smile in front of her, Tang Xiaofu felt a tension in her heart subtly ease.

"Thank you." This time she was more sincere.

Vivian patted her hand: "We're family, no need to thank me."

Over there, Lin Feng had already picked up Xiao Zhixia from the sofa.

As soon as the little guy was held in his arms, he reached out his chubby little hand, grabbed his nose, and giggled.

Lin Feng's nose stung from being tugged, but he smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling: "Little Zhixia, did you miss your dad?"

"Eeya! Aba aba!"

Xiao Zhixia waved her other hand, uttering a string of syllables that no one could understand, but her big, dark eyes stared straight at Lin Feng, shining like two little stars.

"Wow, you've learned so much!" Lin Feng smiled and kissed her cheek. "Great job."

Little Zhixia giggled as she was kissed, her little hands flailing in the air.

Suddenly, she turned her head and her gaze fell on Tang Xiaofu, who was not far away.

The little guy tilted his head and looked for a few seconds, then stretched out his little arm and reached out towards Tang Xiaofu, making urgent "ah ah" sounds.

Lin Feng followed her gaze and smiled.

"She seems to like you." He looked at Tang Xiaofu, a smile in his eyes. "Want a hug?"

Tang Xiaofu was stunned, somewhat at a loss for words: "I...I've never held such a small baby before..."

"It's okay, she's very well-behaved." Lin Feng walked over and carefully handed Xiao Zhixia to her. "Support her here, yes, support her bottom with your other hand, just gently hold her."

Tang Xiaofu stiffly reached out and, following Lin Feng's instructions, took Xiao Zhixia.

The little one's soft body fell into her arms, warm and tender, with a faint milky scent.

Tang Xiaofu froze, too afraid to move.

Little Zhixia lay in her arms, looking up at her with her little face, blinking her eyes, and then—

She grinned, revealing her toothless little mouth.

That smile was like a ray of sunlight shining into a frozen lake.

Tang Xiaofu looked down at the soft, cuddly little one in her arms, at her innocent smile, at her little hand waving at her...

A crack quietly appeared in a hard place in my heart.

A touch of warmth seeped in through the crack.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly; although the curve was small, she was indeed smiling.

"She...is so cute," she whispered.

As if she understood, Xiao Zhixia called out "Aba aba" twice more, and grabbed one of Tang Xiaofu's fingers with her little hand, holding it tightly.

Tang Xiaofu looked down at her fingers that were being held, feeling the small, warm touch, and a sense of warmth gradually spread through her heart.

Tang Xiaorui had somehow come over and leaned on her sister's shoulder to look at Xiao Zhixia, her eyes sparkling:

"Sis, she's so soft! Like a little dough ball!"

Su Wan also walked over with a smile, one hand on her waist, her gaze gently falling on Xiao Zhixia:

"In the future, if your children are just as cuddly, our family will be so happy and lively, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Tang Xiaofu held the soft little one in her arms, listening to their words, her gaze falling on Xiao Zhixia's innocent little face.

A lively and cheerful family...

A scene suddenly flashed into her mind—

In the spacious living room, children ran around, their laughter filling the air. Several women sat together, drinking tea and chatting. Lin Feng was overwhelmed by the children's constant pestering...

The scene stirred a strange warmth within her.

Tang Xiaofu lowered her head, looked at Xiao Zhixia in her arms, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up.

Perhaps... such days are not bad.

At that moment, a black hovercar silently stopped outside the door.

Before the car door was even fully open, Dian Dian had already rushed over, wagging its tail, its single eye gleaming with excitement, circling the car door.

Xia Ning was the first to jump out of the car and immediately saw Lin Feng standing at the door.

"husband--"

Her eyes lit up, and she ran over with outstretched arms like a bird returning to its nest.

Lin Feng smiled and stepped forward, catching her steadily the moment she jumped.

Xia Ning skillfully wrapped her legs around his waist and tightly hugged his neck with both hands.

Lin Feng picked her up and spun her around three times.

"Smack."

He casually patted her buttocks lightly, causing Xia Ning to snuggle closer to him.

"Honey, I missed you so much." She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice muffled, with a coquettish tone at the end.

"Me too." Lin Feng tightened his arms around her, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "The zoo incident, you and Mengmeng were behind it, weren't you?"

Xia Ning was about to look up and deny it—

I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight.

Xia Ning swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, burying her face even deeper, a blush creeping onto the tips of her ears.
