Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Could it be that he wants to sleep here tonight?

After cleaning the babies' bottoms.

Xiao Fei couldn't resist the urge to go check on his car.

He carried the three babies back to the crib and said to Tang Yuxin, who was tidying up the bathroom, "Something of mine has arrived. I'll head downstairs."

"Okay."

Although Tang Yuxin was a little curious about what it was that had arrived for Xiao Fei.

She figured it was probably some kind of delivery and didn't ask further.

"Do you need me to pick anything up for you?"

Before leaving, Xiao Fei asked again.

"No, you go ahead!"

Tang Yuxin shook her head in response.

So, Xiao Fei put on his shoes and left the house.

Just as he closed the apartment door.

He took out a small bottle of pills and a car key from his pocket.

The bottle contained the Cleansing Marrow Pill, a reward from the system a while ago.

Not knowing what changes would happen after taking it, Xiao Fei decided to wait until bedtime to use it.

In a cheerful mood, Xiao Fei rode the elevator down to the underground parking lot of the residential complex and quickly found the system-rewarded luxury car—a million-dollar black Land Rover Defender.

The sleek black exterior and rugged lines made it look extraordinarily intimidating and striking.

Under the light, it reflected an eye-catching gleam.

Xiao Fei was momentarily awestruck.

Opening the car door, he saw that the interior was incredibly luxurious, with plenty of space.

This Land Rover Defender 130 was a seven-seater with a 2+2+3 layout. Compared to an eight-seater layout, the second-row passengers enjoyed a better seating experience, and it was easier for third-row passengers to get in and out.

Considering that now he was a dad with three kids.

Plus, his future wife Tang Yuxin and his parents—seven people in a car would be just perfect!

Xiao Fei sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the gas pedal.

The engine roared immediately.

The sound was absolutely pleasing.

On the front passenger seat lay a document bag filled with various certificates and papers.

Inside, there was one particularly exciting item.

A fuel card worth 100,000 yuan!

With this card, he wouldn't have to worry about gas money for the next few years!

The system really was thoughtful!

...

After organizing the documents properly.

Xiao Fei picked up the car keys and returned home.

At this moment, Tang Yuxin was sitting on the sofa, watching over the three babies.

Seeing Xiao Fei come back, Tang Yuxin greeted him with a smile.

But soon, she noticed the set of car keys in Xiao Fei's hand.

"What's this?"

"The car I bought has arrived."

Xiao Fei walked to Tang Yuxin's side, placed the keys on the table, and explained, "I made some money trading stocks earlier, so I ordered a car at the dealership. They delivered it today."

"Huh?"

Tang Yuxin looked at Xiao Fei in shock.

"You're still in college, and you already bought a car?"

"What kind of car is it?"

Tang Yuxin picked up the keys and glanced at them.

She didn't recognize the Land Rover logo.

In fact, for most girls, apart from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, car brands weren't really familiar.

"It's a Land Rover Defender, seven-seater version."

"It costs about a million."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxin became even more astonished.

"A million?"

"How much did you make from trading stocks?"

Tang Yuxin's eyes widened, her expression showing disbelief.

Xiao Fei thoroughly enjoyed seeing her like this. He reached out to pinch her cheek playfully and laughed as he said.

"Not that much, but as your man..."

"Feeding you and the kids is no problem at all."

Tang Yuxin's cheeks turned red as she swatted his hand away, saying in slight annoyance.

"You... stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. We already have kids—how could I not qualify as your man?"

Xiao Fei teased with a grin as he gazed at Tang Yuxin.

"Uh..."

Though what Xiao Fei said was true, Tang Yuxin still felt embarrassed and shyly lowered her head.

Seeing her adorable and bashful expression, Xiao Fei felt his heart skip a beat.

But he knew certain things couldn't be rushed.

Tang Yuxin hadn't truly accepted him yet.

So, he switched topics and said, "Honey, don't you think this house is pretty spacious?"

"Wha... what are you planning?"

Tang Yuxin suddenly took a step back, her body covered in goosebumps.

She stared at Xiao Fei with a mix of apprehension and bashful curiosity.

"Take a look."

Xiao Fei pointed to the three bedrooms inside the house. "I specifically rented a larger place with three bedrooms, so..."

So what?

Was he planning to stay here tonight?

Not sure why, Tang Yuxin suddenly felt panicked.

She certainly wasn't ready to consider cohabiting with Xiao Fei.

"No... no way..."

Tang Yuxin instinctively wanted to refuse.

But before finishing her sentence, she hesitated.

Though they had only known each other for two days, Xiao Fei's actions had completely exceeded Tang Yuxin's expectations, almost to a flawless degree.

Tang Yuxin could also tell.

Xiao Fei's feelings for her and the babies were genuinely sincere!

Because of this, she became a little unsure...

Seeing Tang Yuxin's hesitant demeanor, Xiao Fei approached her and spoke gently, "Don't worry, I want to stay here to help you take care of the babies."

"The babies are still so little, and you're looking after all three by yourself."

"You have classes during the day and feed them at night—it's impossible for you to get proper rest."

"That's why I want to stay and help look after them at night, so you can get a full night's sleep."

As he said this, Xiao Fei leaned closer to Tang Yuxin and gently touched the dark circles under her eyes.

Tang Yuxin's breathing instantly became uneven.

"Look at yourself—staying up late has caused dark circles. If you're not well-rested, how can you care for the babies properly?"

Now understanding Xiao Fei's intention to stay was purely to help care for the babies.

Tang Yuxin felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

But shortly afterward, she still found it somewhat inappropriate, waving her hand as she said, "No, you're still a student, and you have classes tomorrow for your third year!"

Saying this, Tang Yuxin furrowed her brows as if something came to mind.

"Listen... you haven't started skipping classes just because you made money trading stocks, have you?"

"I warn you, I'm a teacher, and I absolutely won't allow you to skip school!"

Seeing Tang Yuxin's stern expression, Xiao Fei playfully teased in response:

"What's this? Now you remember you're a teacher?"

"You..."

Tang Yuxin was flustered and annoyed.

She glared at Xiao Fei fiercely and scolded, "I'm not joking with you!"

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing this, Xiao Fei quickly surrendered, saying, "I promise I won't fall behind on my studies. If I score below 60 in any course on the next exams, I'll head back to campus and focus on studying!"

Hearing this, Tang Yuxin finally nodded in satisfaction.

"You said it yourself."

"If you lag behind in studies because of caring for the babies."

"Then you have to move back to campus to focus on school, no matter what—graduating is non-negotiable!"

From Tang Yuxin's words, Xiao Fei could tell she was genuinely concerned about him.

"No problem, honey!"

"I definitely won't let you worry!"

Xiao Fei replied with a cheeky grin.

"Who's your honey? Stop saying that!"

Tang Yuxin's face turned red as she hurriedly averted her gaze.

"It'll happen soon enough."

Xiao Fei muttered softly before adding, "Alright, I'm off to my dorm to move my stuff."

Then, he grabbed the car keys and left the apartment.
