The next day, Zhang Yuxi drove her BMW Mini to school. Since her car was a top-of-the-line model valued at over three hundred thousand yuan, it was significantly different from an ordinary BMW Mini. When she arrived at school, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Many students were guessing if it was a teacher or perhaps some rich heiress who had bought the new car.

Tang Xiufen and Han Wen were walking along the road when they also noticed the car.

"Teacher Tang, look at that car! It's beautiful!"

"I wonder which teacher bought it. I'm so envious!"

"I've wanted a BMW Mini for ages, but sadly, I can't afford it."

The two stood still, with no intention of moving on. They wanted to see whether the car's owner was a student or a teacher. After all, Yangcheng University had plenty of second-generation rich kids who lived nearby, so it was quite normal for them to drive to school.

"What?!"

"It's... Teacher Zhang?"

Seeing Zhang Yuxi emerge from the car, both of them were stunned.

Zhang Yuxi, carrying her handbag, walked over amidst everyone's envious gazes.

Han Wen immediately went up to greet her. "Teacher Zhang, did you buy a new car?"

Tang Xiufen also looked shocked. "This car wasn't cheap, was it? It looks like a high-spec model."

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I don't know how much it cost. My husband bought it for me."

Upon hearing this, Han Wen's expression immediately turned to one of envy and jealousy. "Oh, my God! When will you ever bless me with a husband like that!"

Tang Xiufen was equally envious. Compared to Zhang Yuxi, her own marriage was a complete failure. She and her husband had met through a blind date. After more than a decade of marriage, there was no affection left between them. Forget showing public displays of affection; even a simple kiss would make her feel nauseous for a long time.

Han Wen sighed in Cantonese, "I guess it's true what they say, people's fates are just different... I'm so envious."

「In the office.」

"Teacher Zhang, are you alright? You seem distracted." Han Wen looked up at Zhang Yuxi. "Thinking about your husband?"

Zhang Yuxi nodded, looking troubled. "His birthday is in a few days, and I still haven't figured out what to get him. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Han Wen leaned close to Zhang Yuxi's ear and whispered something.

Zhang Yuxi's face instantly turned beet red.

"What's there to be shy about? You two already have kids, what haven't you done?" Han Wen couldn't help but tease. "Listen to me. I guarantee it'll make your husband howl with pleasure!"

Tang Xiufen happened to walk over and hear that last part.

"Howl about what?"

Han Wen covered her mouth with a laugh, refusing to elaborate. She just said, "Teacher Zhang's husband's birthday is coming up in a few days, and she was asking me for gift ideas."

Zhang Yuxi thought Tang Xiufen might have some good ideas, so she asked, "Teacher Tang, what do you usually give your husband for his birthday?"

"A watch, a tie, or a game console should all be fine." After a pause, Tang Xiufen added, "It depends on what your husband likes."

Zhang Yuxi took a moment to reflect. Lin Feng usually dressed very simply, and he wasn't fond of watches. He wasn't much for playing games, either. To him, it seemed that his life now revolved solely around the baby.

Seeing that Zhang Yuxi was still worried, Tang Xiufen said helplessly, "If all else fails, just cook him a nice meal as a treat."

Han Wen laughed. "With Lin Feng's culinary skills, you're asking Teacher Zhang to cook for him? Are you trying to reward him or punish him?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiufen shook her head helplessly. She was truly out of ideas now.

By the time the bell rang for the end of class, Zhang Yuxi still hadn't decided what gift to give Lin Feng. But with two days left until his birthday, she figured she still had time to think about it.

「In the blink of an eye.」

Two days had passed.

Zhang Yuxi was still distracted, worrying about the gift. While eating breakfast, she even held her chopsticks the wrong way around, using the thick ends to eat.

"Honey? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." Zhang Yuxi quickly covered it up. "Honey, I'm off to school now."

Seeing Zhang Yuxi's flustered appearance, Lin Feng grew suspicious.

What's wrong with her? She seems so absent-minded. Did she run into trouble at work? If so, maybe she should just quit and be a full-time housewife. With my current finances, I can easily support the family. I'll have to talk to her about it tonight.

"Teacher Zhang, have you gotten the gift ready?" Han Wen couldn't help but ask, seeing Zhang Yuxi's worried expression.

Zhang Yuxi frowned. "Not yet! I still don't know what to get him."

"Oh, why are you agonizing over it? Just do what I said before and give him a big surprise." Han Wen had an expression that showed she was enjoying the drama.

Zhang Yuxi blushed and shook her head. "No way!"

"But you can't just give him nothing. He's so young, and he's taking care of both you and the baby. He does so much for you. If you don't show your appreciation, what's he going to think?"

Zhang Yuxi felt conflicted upon hearing Han Wen's words.

"But, but..."

Han Wen narrowed her eyes. "But what? Is any other gift more important than your own sentiment?"

Seeing Zhang Yuxi's hesitation, Han Wen chuckled slyly. "After school, I'll take you to buy it!"

「Soon enough.」

The bell for the end of class rang.

Zhang Yuxi saw an opportunity to escape but was caught by Han Wen.

"Teacher Zhang, where are you going? Didn't we agree that I'd take you to buy the 'gift'?"

With that, Han Wen pulled Zhang Yuxi and ran outside.

Getting into Zhang Yuxi's new car, Han Wen pointed forward. "Let's go, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Yuxi hesitated. "I think we could pick something else..."

"Oh? You have other fun ideas in mind?"

"..."

Han Wen grinned. "Stop struggling, Teacher Zhang. Just drive!"

Left with no choice, Zhang Yuxi had to brace herself. Under Han Wen's coercion, she drove to a shop with flashing neon lights. The shop was filled with all sorts of provocative items, including a large selection of lingerie.

"Auntie, are you there?" Han Wen held Zhang Yuxi's hand, dragging her into the shop.

Hearing Han Wen's voice, a scantily dressed beautiful woman came out from an inner room.

"Wenwen, you're here!"

"Auntie, I want to buy some things... to enhance affection."
