79: Chapter 79 Because of Laziness 79: Chapter 79 Because of Laziness The next day.

Accompanied by the sounds of birds chirping outside the window, drifting into the room through the glass.

Tang Yuxin opened her eyes early.

Turning her head to look at Xiao Fei lying beside her, Tang Yuxin leaned forward slightly and kissed his forehead.

After that, she slipped out of the warm blankets.

With the air conditioner running in the room, Tang Yuxin didn’t feel too cold.

She stretched lazily, walked over to the baby crib, and leaned down to look at the three babies still sound asleep.

With each passing month, the three little angels seemed to have developed a newfound love for sucking on their tiny hands.

Da Bao and Er Bao were currently sucking their fingers and sleeping deeply.

Suddenly, San Bao turned over, his little foot landing on Er Bao.

Er Bao let out a soft whimper but continued sleeping.

Tang Yuxin gently repositioned San Bao’s body, then walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

By the time she finished washing up and came out, she found that Xiao Fei was already awake, sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard.

“Honey, you’re awake?”

“Why are you up so early today?”

“Hehe~”

Tang Yuxin laughed and raised an index finger playfully.

“It’s my first time spending Lunar New Year at your house as a daughter-in-law, so I have to make a good impression.”

“Oh?”

Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows, and the gesture made Tang Yuxin’s heart flutter.

Ack, her husband always managed to charm her to death with these little, effortless moves.

“How do you plan to make a good impression?”

Tang Yuxin thought for a moment and counted on her fingers.

“For example, making three meals a day for your parents and you, doing a big cleanup before the New Year… In short, sleeping in is absolutely out of the question!

I definitely don’t want your parents to think I’m lazy.”

Seeing Tang Yuxin’s rare determination, Xiao Fei was happy to let her show off.

“Honey, you keep resting.

I’ll go make breakfast~”

With that, Tang Yuxin hummed a tune as she left the bedroom.

The very next second…

“So cold!!!!”

The living room, of course, didn’t have the air conditioning on.

Pitifully retreating back to the bedroom, Tang Yuxin dug through their luggage and pulled out a thick coat to wear.

At this moment, Xiao Fei suddenly spoke up, “Don’t make too much breakfast.

Dad, unless something unusual happens, will probably sleep until noon.

That’s his usual holiday routine.”

“Got it!”

Tang Yuxin replied, blowing a kiss to Xiao Fei.

She then flitted away like a butterfly floating among flowers.

Out in the living room, Xiang Zilan was squatting beside the automatic cat food dispenser.

Right on cue, the machine dispensed food in a cascade.

Xiang Zilan let out a soft “meow” and began nibbling delicately.

When Tang Yuxin entered the kitchen, the first thing she did was open the fridge.

She spotted frozen dumplings and sticky rice balls, making them her quick fix for breakfast.

She knew her cooking skills couldn’t compare to Xiao Fei’s in any way.

Before long, Xiao Fei—who had just finished washing up and changing into fresh clothes—walked in and saw Tang Yuxin returning from the kitchen.

“Honey, breakfast is ready~”

“I see.”

“Mom isn’t up yet.”

“No, no, no, she’s already awake.”

Xiao Fei shook his head.

“My mom wakes up really early every day.

At this point, she’s probably on her way back from the market.”

Tang Yuxin looked as if she’d been dealt a heavy blow.

“Wha…what?”

“Why do you look so shaken?”

“I thought I could wake up before your mom and look like a proper daughter-in-law…”

Seeing Tang Yuxin’s pitiful expression, Xiao Fei suddenly found her incredibly adorable.

“Come here.”

“Hm?”

“Let me hug you~”

“…!!”

Surprised, Tang Yuxin let Xiao Fei embrace her, then asked, “Why the sudden hug?”

“Just thought you were really cute, so I wanted to hug you.”

At that moment, a sound came from the living room as the door opened.

Tang Yuxin quickly wriggled out of Xiao Fei’s arms and dashed toward the door.

Just as the door swung open, Wang Fang stepped inside, carrying a bag of groceries.

“Eh?

Yuxin?

Why are you up this early?

Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”

“No, Mom.”

Tang Yuxin smiled sweetly and took the plastic bag from Wang Fang’s hands.

“Mom, breakfast is ready.

You should go eat.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Fang froze where she stood.

Her wide eyes seemed to reflect utter disbelief, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Though she was in her forties, she looked more like someone in her early thirties, and the clear, pure gaze of her eyes—reminiscent of a child’s—was filled with shock.

“Mom?”

Tang Yuxin waved a hand in front of Wang Fang’s face.

“Ah!”

Wang Fang suddenly exclaimed.

“Breakfast?”

“Yes, breakfast.”

“You mean the legendary meal before lunch, breakfast?”

Tang Yuxin felt like something was off.

“I haven’t…eaten breakfast in such a long time!”

Wang Fang donned an expression as though reminiscing about a distant, ancient past from thousands of years ago.

Tang Yuxin: “???”

“In this house, Xiao Fei’s father cooks better than I do.

I normally just make do with whatever’s convenient.

Gradually, at some point—when was it?—three meals a day mysteriously became two meals a day.

Breakfast just vanished!”

“Why don’t you just make breakfast for yourself?”

“Because I’m lazy.”

Tang Yuxin: “…”

Is this really something to say so proudly?

“Then why not go out and eat breakfast at a restaurant?”

“Because I’m lazy.”

Tang Yuxin made a decision right then and there.

From now on, the three babies must absolutely not be entrusted to Wang Fang!

After breakfast, Tang Yuxin pulled Xiao Fei into their bedroom, looking very serious.

“Honey, what’s up with your mom?”

“You’ve figured it out?”

With a mysterious smile, Xiao Fei said, “My mom is just too pampered by my dad.”

“Didn’t I tell you before?

Back then, there weren’t strict regulations.

My mom married my dad before she even turned 18.”

“She was spoiled by her parents before marriage, and protected by my dad afterward.

She didn’t need to work or worry about any daily life hassles, so even now, she’s still like a little girl.”

“Well…that’s certainly…a whole lot…of innocence, huh.”

After thinking for a long time, Tang Yuxin finally settled on the word “innocence.”

“You can just say she’s naïve.”

“Who calls their own mom naïve?”

Tang Yuxin shot Xiao Fei a sideways glance.

But soon, she couldn’t help but show an envious expression.

“Still, looking at Mom, I suddenly feel jealous.

Dad must really love her to let her live such a carefree, childish life all the time.”

Xiao Fei wrapped his arms around Tang Yuxin’s waist.

“You’ll be just like that too.”

Tang Yuxin pouted.

Honestly, she’d already started to feel that way.

Out and about, it was a different story—but at home, whenever she was with Xiao Fei, she felt like she was still his little baby.

Sure, it might seem embarrassing from an outsider’s perspective.

But for her…this feeling—it actually wasn’t unpleasant at all.

In fact, she quite liked it.
