Seeing Lin Feng standing there dazed with an odd smile on his face, Liu Bo quickly ran over. "Bro, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

"I'm... I'm fine." It was only after hearing Liu Bo's voice that Lin Feng came back to his senses.

Just then, a foreign couple who appeared to be newlyweds approached the store. They didn't look like they were from America. As soon as they spoke, Lin Feng recognized it instantly—French!

He understood them perfectly.

"The things in this store are so lovely. Should we buy some clothes to take back with us?"

"Sure. It's so crowded in here, the quality must be excellent."

Lin Feng hurriedly went to greet them, speaking in fluent French from his first word. "May I help you with anything?"

Hearing their native language, the couple at first thought they had run into fellow countrymen. But when they turned around, they saw the speaker was an authentic Huaxia native.

"You speak French?" the woman asked, surprised.

"Did you major in it? Your pronunciation is perfect!" her husband added.

Lin Feng smiled. "I'm self-taught."

The couple was floored. "You must be a genius! Many locals in France don't speak as correctly as you do." The wife continued, "I'd like to buy some clothes for my child. Do you have any recommendations?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Of course."

Seeing Lin Feng chatting at the entrance with two foreigners in some incomprehensible language, Liu Bo was completely flabbergasted.

"May I ask how old your baby is?" Lin Feng asked the couple.

"Almost six months old."

"What a coincidence! My babies are also almost six months old."

The couple was shocked yet again. "You look so young to already be a father!"

Lin Feng nodded and returned the compliment. "You two look very young as well, like you could be my classmates."

The couple laughed. "Are you a doctoral student? We're nearly thirty."

Lin Feng felt a bit awkward. He hadn't expected foreigners to be so direct. They didn't look particularly young, but he had just been making a polite remark as a part of good salesmanship. To ease the awkwardness, he walked into the store and picked up a baby outfit.

"This set is one of our best-sellers," he said. "It's perfect for a six-month-old."

The couple came inside and examined the clothing.

Lin Feng continued, "And is your baby a boy or a girl?"

The couple's eyes crinkled as they smiled. "We have twins!"

After congratulating them, Lin Feng said, "I have quadruplets."

"Quadruplets?" they exclaimed. "Wow, that's amazing!"

Lin Feng pointed toward the break room. "My babies are sleeping in there."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of gurgles and coos came from the room. He could now identify each baby just by their sounds.

Fourth Baby! This little lazy pig is always sleeping. What's making him fuss now?

"Excuse me for a moment," Lin Feng said. "I'll go check on my baby."

He entered the break room and found that the fourth baby had pooped his diaper. He skillfully changed it and wiped the baby's bottom clean, earning a happy smile from his son. When the couple saw the chubby little baby, their hearts melted.

"Oh my goodness, he's so adorable!"

"And he's wearing that same outfit."

"If your own child wears it, the quality must be excellent..."

As soon as Lin Feng emerged from the break room, the couple rushed over to him.

"Sir, we'll take four sets of that outfit," the husband said. "Two for a boy and two for a girl."

"And the toys and accessories in here are just beautiful! We'll take two of each of those as well," the wife added.

A short while later, the couple left the store laden with bags. It was as if they had bought one of everything in the shop, and in duplicate!

Liu Bo came over, his eyes full of admiration. "Bro, you're incredible! If you hadn't been here, we wouldn't have had a clue how to handle them." This had been a huge sale, likely netting them several thousand yuan in profit.

Lin Feng himself was surprised that he had gotten to use his newly acquired eight-language proficiency so soon.

"Bro, where were they from?" Liu Bo asked.

"France."

"Then how do you know French?"

"I learned it in class."

Liu Bo was speechless. We were in the same classes, so why don't I know French?

「Meanwhile」

Zhang Yuxi took An Lan to wander through a nearby mall. Seeing the various designer bags and brand-name cosmetics, An Lan's eyes lit up, itching for a shopping spree. Zhang Yuxi, however, clutched her wallet tightly, completely unwilling to spend money on her friend.

An Lan pouted, instantly displeased. "So stingy!"

Zhang Yuxi feigned indifference. "My husband works hard for his money. Of course I have to be careful with it!"

"Fine. Can you at least buy me a milk tea?"

Zhang Yuxi glanced at the menu and ordered the cheapest original-flavor milk tea.

An Lan blew her top. "Miss Zhang! Could you *be* any stingier?"

In response, Zhang Yuxi turned to the clerk and said, "Sorry, we'll cancel that."

An Lan ground her teeth in frustration before finally admitting defeat. "You're ruthless!"

In the end, Zhang Yuxi did buy her the plain milk tea. As they sat and drank in the shop, An Lan brought up a sensitive topic.

"Yuxi," she began, chewing on a tapioca pearl. "Have you thought any more about contacting your mother?"

Zhang Yuxi stared at her bubble tea, saying nothing.

"You're doing well now, and Lin Feng is a great guy," An Lan continued. "If you just let your mom know, she can stop worrying about you. When it comes down to it, you were both at fault. If you can each take a step back, you can have a mother-daughter reunion. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Zhang Yuxi frowned, thinking it over seriously. Finally, she bit her lip as if making a momentous decision. "Alright, I'll call her tonight."

A relieved smile spread across An Lan's face. "That's more like it!"

She then grabbed Zhang Yuxi's hand and pulled her toward the top floor of the mall, which was filled with luxury boutiques like Gucci, Prada, Givenchy, Bulgari, and Chanel. Seeing them, An Lan froze in her tracks.

"Yuxi, let's just go in and look!"

Zhang Yuxi clutched her wallet. "I don't have any money, so don't even think about me buying you anything."

"Geez, I can buy things for myself, you know!"

Zhang Yuxi followed her into a Chanel boutique. Both were stunning beauties who commanded attention wherever they went. Zhang Yuxi's delicate, flawless face in particular would make anyone gasp in admiration. An Lan was equally captivating, exuding a cool, sexy vibe in a low-cut minidress. Men who passed by would pretend to casually glance in her direction, sneaking peeks at her chest.

A true connoisseur would have recognized An Lan's dress as the latest season's model from Prada, retailing for 80,000 yuan. Her accessories were also luxury items, the cheapest of which cost at least 20,000. Her entire ensemble was worth no less than 500,000 yuan.

Because of this, when they entered the store, the sales associate's attention was focused squarely on An Lan. Zhang Yuxi, apart from her ring, didn't appear to be wearing anything of value.

The sales associate warmly greeted An Lan the moment she walked in. "Hello, how may I help you?"

"Where is your new seasonal collection?"

"Right this way, please follow me."

As the associate led An Lan away, Zhang Yuxi plopped onto a sofa and said impatiently, "Hurry up."

An Lan rolled her eyes. "I know, I know!"

Coming out of the dressing room, An Lan admired herself in the mirror while speaking to Zhang Yuxi. "Yuxi, I just remembered something. That Du Qian is always showing off her relationship on social media. It's hilarious. A few days ago, she bought a bag for less than 20,000 and posted about it for days straight. It almost made me sick!"

"If it disgusts you, why do you look?" Zhang Yuxi replied distractedly.

"I blocked her on my main account! But I added her on my alt account just so I can curse her out in the comments every day. Hahaha..."

Zhang Yuxi was left speechless.

In the end, An Lan bought two items of clothing, totaling 60,000 yuan. Hearing the price, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but frown.

An Lan retorted dryly, "Miss, what are you frowning about? You used to spend way more on clothes than I ever did. Besides, your family is richer than mine. If you'd just go home, you could be living the high life." Pausing, she then asked, "Does Lin Feng know about your background?"

Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "No, I haven't told him anything."

"Oh," An Lan said, before grabbing her friend's arm. "Come on, you buy something too! I'll help you pick!"

"No, look at the time! I have to get back to the babies. They must be awake by now."

As Zhang Yuxi hurried out, An Lan chased after her, muttering, "Married women are terrifying. They have nothing on their minds but their husbands and children."

Zhang Yuxi shot her a look over her shoulder. "Who was it that saw my babies yesterday and was crying about how badly she wanted to get married?"

"I... That was a slip of the tongue..."

「Back at the store」

Business was still booming.

"You're back." Seeing the two women return, Lin Feng hurried over to greet them.

An Lan spoke first. "She is! Yuxi is so stingy now! She wouldn't buy me anything, not even a decent milk tea. She had to pick the cheapest one."

Lin Feng noticed the two Chanel bags in An Lan's hands, clear evidence of a successful shopping trip.

"Honey, you didn't buy anything?" he asked his wife.

Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "No, the clothes there were too expensive."

"What do you mean, too expensive? If you like something, you should just buy it! My wife is gorgeous. It would be a crime not to dress her in beautiful clothes."

Hearing this, An Lan nodded vigorously. This guy gets it! He's willing to spend money on his wife. Not bad at all!

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Okay, next time I see something I like, I'll buy it!"
