「9 a.m.」
Lin Feng arrived at the photo studio with the babies. Seeing the four adorable infants, the studio owner immediately exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, what cute babies!"
"And the parents are very good-looking, too," he added, then asked a bit boldly, "May I keep a few photos of the babies for promotional purposes? I... I can give you a 30% discount, how about that?"
Seeing the owner's excitement, Lin Feng smiled and nodded. After all, the babies' commemorative photos weren't particularly private. Hearing someone else praise his children also made Lin Feng very happy.
When Lin Feng agreed, the owner generously threw in four sets of outfits for the photoshoot. After changing into their new clothes, the babies looked even more adorable. Complemented by their chubby little cheeks, they were irresistibly charming.
Before the official shoot had even begun, Zhang Yuxi had already pulled out her phone and was snapping picture after picture of the babies.
"Mom and Dad, please bring the babies into the studio," the owner called out enthusiastically. "We're about to get started..."
Lin Feng nodded. He and Zhang Yuxi then carried the four babies into the photography studio. This was the biggest order the owner had ever taken since opening his shop, and it was also his busiest day. After all, you couldn't find many sets of quadruplets in all of Huaxia.
Each of the four babies had their own unique charm. The photographer positioned them in various poses and began taking their individual portraits.
Looking at those cute little angels through the viewfinder, Zhang Yuxi's eyes grew misty. Lin Feng stood to the side, a tender smile on his face. He would protect and cherish these four babies for his entire life. He was incredibly grateful that heaven had blessed him with four such adorable angels. A sense of mission and determination suddenly filled his heart.
CLICK! CLICK!
After the individual portraits were done, the photographer raised his camera again for a group photo of the four babies. Seeing this, an envious expression appeared on the owner's face.
"Are you planning a half-birthday celebration for the babies?" the owner asked. "We also offer party planning services!"
Lin Feng smiled and politely declined. "The hotel said they would handle it."
The owner pursed his lips. "What does a hotel know? They just blow up a few balloons and hang a banner to make you feel like they've done something." As he spoke, he ran outside and returned with a thick photo album. The pictures inside showed other babies' birthday parties. They looked exquisite, clearly designed with great care.
"We planned all of these," he said. "We have all sorts of themes you can look at... If you have your own ideas, you can also share them with us, and we can design the party according to your vision."
Hearing this, both Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were intrigued. Zhang Yuxi flipped through the album, muttering, "These look really nice."
"Of course!" the owner exclaimed. "And on the day of the party, we can put all the babies' artistic photos into a slideshow and have it playing on a loop in the banquet hall. Wouldn't that be much more impressive than a hotel just putting up a few balloons and a banner?"
Zhang Yuxi was already imagining the scene.
The owner continued, "A baby's half-birthday might not be as grand as their first birthday, but it's still a very important milestone. After six months, babies change from one day to the next. So you have to capture their most beautiful moments and preserve the memory."
Zhang Yuxi looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded. "Alright, Boss. But can you give us a discount?"
The owner rubbed his nose and thought for a moment. "Seeing as how cute the babies are, I can give you a 20% discount!"
Zhang Yuxi quickly asked, "How much is that?"
"This much!" The owner held up two fingers. "Twenty thousand."
Zhang Yuxi's expression changed. She whispered, "That's too expensive. Can't you give us a better deal?"
"Ma'am, it's not that we're expensive!" the owner insisted. "It's that you get what you pay for! The banquet we plan will absolutely dazzle you! If you feel the quality doesn't match the price, you can come to me for a refund anytime. I won't say another word!"
The owner spoke with such passionate conviction it was as if he was baring his soul. "Besides, even at twenty thousand, I have labor costs, material costs, and all sorts of other expenses. When you add it all up, I'm really not making much..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Feng said decisively, "Fine, twenty thousand it is!"
The owner's face lit up with a huge smile. "You're very generous, sir! Don't you worry, I definitely won't let you down!"
The three of them sat down to discuss the plans. Zhang Yuxi went to be with the babies. "Honey, you two can decide. I'm going to check on them."
Lin Feng discussed it with the owner and decided on a fantasy theme, with pink as the primary color complemented by other shades. Once the theme was set, the owner asked, "Where are you hosting the banquet? We'll need to go over soon to start setting up."
"The Sheraton."
I was too hasty, the owner thought. I should have asked for a higher price. The Sheraton is a famous, high-end hotel in Yangcheng! This young man must not be short on cash.
After the babies' photos were done, the family prepared for a family portrait. Lin Feng changed into a suit, while Zhang Yuxi slipped into a white, strapless evening gown. She looked just like a bride. Lin Feng stared at her, transfixed, as a blush crept up Zhang Yuxi's pretty cheeks.
"Yuxi, I still owe you a wedding," Lin Feng said, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Zhang Yuxi nodded, a sweet smile spreading across her face.
CLICK!
The photo session was over. Next, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had to select their favorite shots from the massive pile of photos. Looking at the camera screen filled with images of their adorable babies, they both felt a bit overwhelmed.
The first baby, mischievous and honest-looking, was exceptionally happy. The second smiled sweetly, and the third had the smile of a little lady. The fourth blinked sleepily, looking utterly drowsy. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi started the careful process of choosing from the pile. They had thought they were just bringing the babies in for a quick photoshoot, but it turned out to be much more involved.
After leaving the photo studio, Lin Feng called the Sheraton. He told them not to worry about the decorations and to leave everything to the photo studio owner.
With all preparations complete, the babies' half-birthday celebration was about to begin.
「That evening.」
Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had a deep, intimate conversation. Exhausted, Zhang Yuxi soon fell asleep, while Lin Feng got out of bed and went to the next room to check on the babies.
Just then, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding!]
[For taking the babies for a family portrait and fulfilling your fatherly duties!]
[Reward: One "Emerald Lake Villa"!]
[Address: 88 Emerald Lake Road, Yangcheng]
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Feng's eyes widened dramatically.
Holy shit! That's an insane reward! An entire villa, just like that? I've been to the Emerald Lake Villas before when I was making deliveries. The environment is fantastic, built around the lake. Even though it's not in the city center, a villa there has to be worth at least ten million. To think that I'd actually own a villa one day… This feeling is incredible…
