57: Chapter 57 The Dean’s Invitation 57: Chapter 57 The Dean’s Invitation At the same time Xiao Fei was taking the three kids to his company…

Meanwhile, back at school.

Having just finished a class, Tang Yuxin stood at the podium, tidying up her lesson plan.

After leaving the classroom, she headed straight for the office.

Along the way, she could clearly feel the eyes of many students and teachers on her.

She understood that this was all due to last night’s school anniversary performance.

Her own dear husband’s dazzling performance on stage.

Even she, his wife who sees him day and night, had been stunned—let alone the rest of the school community.

Listening to the chatter around her, Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride in her heart, though her exterior remained calm and composed.

Before long, she arrived at the faculty office, her high heels clicking with each step.

As soon as Tang Yuxin entered the office, she noticed a seldom-seen figure present there.

“Professor Liu…?”

The elderly man, hair white as snow, gave a gentle smile when he saw Tang Yuxin walk in.

“Teacher Tang, you’re here.”

“Professor Liu, were you waiting for me?”

Quickly, Tang Yuxin invited Professor Liu to sit across from her.

“I’m so sorry, Professor Liu.”

“I didn’t know you were here waiting for me.”

“No need to apologize; this old bag of bones came on his own accord.”

Professor Liu seated himself opposite Tang Yuxin’s desk before getting straight to the point.

“Teacher Tang, I came to speak with you today primarily regarding Xiao Fei…”

“I understand you two are a married couple, correct?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Tang Yuxin’s cheeks flushed with a hint of rosy embarrassment.

She had already somewhat guessed the reason Professor Liu sought her out.

After all, Professor Liu was the dean of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Music Academy.

While Shanghai Jiao Tong University is world-renowned in disciplines like mathematics, journalism, clinical medicine, and economics, its music and arts programs have historically been less outstanding.

After all, not even the most prestigious universities can excel uniformly in every field.

Even so, as the dean of the Music Academy, Professor Liu holds significant influence in China’s music world.

He has long aimed to expand and elevate the university’s music department.

“Here’s the thing,”

The elderly professor carefully selected his words and spoke in a measured tone.

“Last night, Xiao Fei’s performance was nothing short of spectacular.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that, with his level of skill, he has the potential to become a titan in the world of traditional Chinese music.”

“So… I’d like to ask if Xiao Fei might consider transferring to our Music Academy?”

“If he agrees, I’d personally guarantee his full progression to a doctoral degree.”

“Well…”

Without a doubt, Professor Liu’s sincerity was evident.

But Tang Yuxin couldn’t make such a significant decision on Xiao Fei’s behalf.

“I’m truly sorry, Professor Liu, but I can’t decide this for Xiao Fei.”

“That’s quite all right.

If you could discuss it with him at home and let me know his thoughts, that would suffice.”

“I can absolutely do that, Professor Liu.”

Receiving Tang Yuxin’s assurance, Professor Liu left the office pleased.

After Professor Liu departed, the office immediately erupted into lively chatter.

Jiang Yu appeared as if materializing out of nowhere.

“Teacher Tang, what sort of godly being is your husband, really?”

“You’re calling him a god—how would a mere mortal like me know?”

Jiang Yu: “???”

“Woman, I suspect you’re just showing off—and I have solid evidence!”

Rendered speechless by Tang Yuxin’s remark,

Jiang Yu awkwardly slunk back to her own desk.

That afternoon.

When Tang Yuxin returned home, she immediately told Xiao Fei about the matter.

“Hubby, what do you think?”

“Not interested.”

When it came to the elderly professor’s invitation, Xiao Fei showed no particular enthusiasm.

“Tomorrow, you can just tell that professor my aspirations don’t lie in that direction.”

“Alright.”

Tang Yuxin nodded, gazing at Xiao Fei with a face full of admiration.

“But hubby, you’re truly amazing!”

“Professor Liu is an incredibly well-respected figure in the music world, and even he was full of praise for you!”

Amused, Xiao Fei gently tapped Tang Yuxin on the nose.

“No matter how great I am, I’m still your husband, aren’t I?”

“Mmm… true.”

Tang Yuxin thought for a moment, then burst out laughing like a giddy fool.

“No matter how amazing, you’re still my husband… haha…”

And with that, she flopped onto the couch, laughing silly on her own.

That evening,

Tang Yuxin sat cross-legged on the sofa, munching on snacks while watching a variety show on TV.

Whenever something funny happened, she would burst into hearty laughter.

From the side, Xiao Fei paused the anime playing on his laptop and turned to look at her.

Beside Tang Yuxin sat Er Bao, staring intently at the bag of chips in her hand, his little arms flailing desperately, as if he too wanted a taste.

Noticing that his mom was ignoring him,

Er Bao let out a frustrated series of coos and babbles.

“Er Bao, do you want some too?”

“Sorry, sweetheart, but you’re not old enough to eat this.”

Tang Yuxin pinched Er Bao’s chubby cheeks playfully, speaking with a smile.

Then, she went back to watching her show.

Unbeknownst to her, Er Bao was still waving those little arms persistently.

He had officially declared a vendetta against the bag of chips in Tang Yuxin’s hands.

The little one wriggled and squirmed, inching along until he suddenly tumbled off the sofa!

Xiao Fei reacted with lightning speed, catching the tiny escape artist just in time.

Tang Yuxin was startled, discarding her chips as she rushed to take Er Bao from Xiao Fei’s arms.

“Er Bao… I’m so sorry!”

“It’s Mommy’s fault for not noticing you… I’m so sorry…”

Tears seemed on the verge of spilling from Tang Yuxin’s eyes.

The earlier close call had been far too alarming.

If not for Xiao Fei’s quick instincts, who knew what might’ve happened to Er Bao?

Meanwhile, Er Bao appeared blissfully unaware of any danger, waving his little hands and babbling happily, as if this had all been a fun game.

Xiao Fei gently patted Tang Yuxin on the back.

“It’s okay.

It wasn’t your fault, so don’t feel bad.”

“Hubby…”

Tang Yuxin felt deeply saddened.

“I’ve realized that I don’t pay as much attention to the babies as I used to.”

Xiao Fei mimicked her earlier action, pinching her cheek teasingly.

“It’s not your fault.

I’ve been the one caring for the babies most of the time anyways.”

“But… I suddenly feel like I’m not a very good mom.”

“Who says so?”

Xiao Fei straightened his face, his words full of reassurance.

“Back when I wasn’t around, you took care of all three kids on your own.

Didn’t you do a great job then?

You’re a perfect mom.”

“Sniff…”

After some comforting words from Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin’s mood gradually improved.

Wiping her mouth, which still had some crumbs of chips on it, she leaned in to kiss Er Bao lovingly.

Xiao Fei looked down at Er Bao.

Though this little one had just had a near-miss, she had at least successfully learned how to roll over.

With Da Bao and Er Bao now having mastered rolling, it wouldn’t be long before Sanbao would follow suit, would she?

Xiao Fei’s gaze shifted to Sanbao.

She might not be as lively as Da Bao, but compared to Er Bao, Sanbao was far more calm and quiet.

No crying or fussing.

Surely, she’d grow up to be a refined and gentle little princess.
