Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Tang Yuxin’s Solitary Life

After Xiao Fei left the house.

At home.

Finally, it was Yuxin’s long-awaited solo parenting time!

After sending Xiao Fei off, Tang Yuxin returned to the living room and looked at the three little angels playing by themselves in the baby play area.

Hands on her hips, Tang Yuxin was full of energy.

Although Xiao Fei usually took care of the three babies alone, Tang Yuxin believed she could handle it as well.

Don’t forget, before meeting Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin had managed it this way too!

At that time.

Even though Auntie Wang, the nanny, helped out during the day, she would always go home at night. When the babies cried and fussed at night, wasn’t Tang Yuxin always the one who had to run around taking care of everything?

So she was quite confident in herself.

She could definitely manage!

Sitting on the plush carpet, Er Bao raised her head to look at her strange mama, tilting her little head.

"Mama...?"

"Eh! Er Bao, sweetheart~~~"

Tang Yuxin quickly ran over, picked up Er Bao, and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Er Bao was delighted, and her tiny palm promptly smacked Tang Yuxin’s face.

"Mama!"

"Eh!"

"Mama!"

"Eh!"

The mother-daughter duo were happily engaging in playful banter.

Da Bao and San Bao were also being well-behaved, not crying or creating a fuss.

Focused, they were playing with their toys nearby.

The scene was harmonious, to say the least.

However.

After playing for a while, Tang Yuxin gently put Er Bao down.

Blinking, she fell into silence.

The clock on the wall ticked steadily.

"Oh right!"

"With my husband out, dinner will be up to me to handle tonight!"

Only when her stomach let out a hungry growl did Tang Yuxin belatedly realize.

She had grown accustomed to a life where she simply relaxed, ate and drank, played with the babies, and enjoyed her husband’s pampering without needing to worry about anything.

With Xiao Fei suddenly absent, Tang Yuxin was caught a bit off guard.

She walked into the kitchen.

"Apron... apron, where’s the apron..."

"Ah! It’s here!"

She found the apron and put it on.

Opening the refrigerator, Tang Yuxin scanned its contents and found a variety of food ingredients stocked in abundance.

"It’s been so long since I cooked for myself. Let’s prepare a delicious meal!"

Determined, Tang Yuxin stared at the fridge for a moment distractedly.

After a while, she sighed.

She wasn’t really in the mood to cook...

I’ll just make some quick noodles to get it over with.

But...

"Noodles... noodles... where are the noodles?"

Closing the fridge door, Tang Yuxin went back into the kitchen.

Soon enough, she was stumped.

Not only couldn’t she find the noodles, but she also had no idea where the basics like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were stored.

After hunting around for ages, she finally gathered the necessary seasonings and ingredients. Just as Tang Yuxin was about to heat some water, Er Bao’s crying suddenly erupted from the living room.

And so.

She had to dash back, pick up Er Bao, and inspect her—no dirty diaper.

So, hungry?

"Formula... formula..."

Tang Yuxin hurried off to prepare milk formula for Er Bao. Once the bottle was ready, she returned to feed her.

The living room was very quiet, aside from the soft sounds of Er Bao sucking on the bottle and the occasional babbles from Da Bao and San Bao.

With Xiao Fei gone, even his familiar scent seemed to have faded away.

After feeding Er Bao, Tang Yuxin suddenly felt no interest in dinner—her hunger seemed to have waned, as though she had starved past the point of feeling it.

She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and clicked into her chat thread with Xiao Fei.

"..."

She felt so lonely.

Looking at the time, it had only been about an hour since Xiao Fei left.

Could it even be possible to feel lonely after such a short separation?

Tang Yuxin shook her head furiously but couldn’t stop her fingers from typing a message, inserting a "Too lonely, might die!" emoji sticker into the input box.

At the last second before sending, Tang Yuxin caught herself, blushing furiously as she hurriedly deleted it.

No way, no way! Her husband rarely got the chance to go hang out with his classmates, she couldn’t disturb him!

As a good wife, she should let him enjoy himself without any worries.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuxin picked up San Bao and nestled into the sofa.

San Bao leaned snugly against Tang Yuxin’s chest, lifting his tiny head to look up at her.

"Mama...?"

Tang Yuxin kissed San Bao’s forehead.

As if sensing his mom’s low spirits, San Bao gently patted Tang Yuxin’s delicate cheeks with his little hand.

Comforted by the child’s sweet gesture, Tang Yuxin’s mood lifted slightly.

She set San Bao down and stared at her phone again.

Should I... send my husband a message after all?

[Have fun, okay...]

After typing the message, Tang Yuxin hesitated for ages before ultimately deleting it.

Come to think of it, surely enough time had passed—her husband must be coming back soon?

Tang Yuxin checked the time again.

Only ten minutes had passed since she finished feeding Er Bao?!

Why did it feel like hours?!

Arghhhhhh!

If only her husband would send her a message voluntarily right now!

This is so annoying!

Going out to play and leaving his wife at home—doesn’t he care at all?!

Doesn’t he miss her? At all?!

She was practically dying from missing him back at home, unable to gather the energy to do anything!

Pouting, Tang Yuxin began to stew in silent anger.

And yet rationality kept whispering to her that she was just throwing a tantrum for no reason.

Suddenly...

Ding...

WeChat’s notification tone chimed.

Tang Yuxin grabbed her phone the instant it sounded and glanced at it.

[Have you had dinner at home?]

[Sorry, I left in such a hurry—I didn’t prepare anything for you.]

In the blink of an eye, all her grievances and loneliness vanished.

Curled up on the sofa, Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but let out a silly laugh.

[I ate, of course!]

[Don’t worry, enjoy yourself! I’ve got this with the babies!]

She quickly replied to Xiao Fei.

And soon, another reply popped up on the screen.

[Thank you, my hardworking wife. I’ll be back soon.]

[Alright! Love you!]

After finishing their exchange, Tang Yuxin didn’t put her phone down. Instead, she stared blankly at their chat record.

"Hehehe... hehe..."

Nearby, Xiang Zilan lay atop the cat tree, watching Tang Yuxin behave like she had regressed into a child. With a roll of her eyes, the cat let out a disdainful sound.

"Meow..."

The mistress of the house seemed utterly clueless sometimes.

Ultimately, maintaining this family’s sanity still depended on Xiang Zilan and her owner.

Life’s hard—for cats too, apparently.

Having sacrificed so much for this household, Xiang Zilan flicked her tail, jumped down from the cat tree, and sauntered over.

Right on cue, a cascade of kibble spilled out from the automatic feeder.
