Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Is Xiao Fei Having an Affair?

Evening.

Yuxin was curled up in the living room, watching TV.

Xiao Fei, on the other hand, was occupied with the three little ones nearby.

As they played, the kids’ attention eventually shifted to Yuxin.

Yuxin was nestled on the sofa with her shoes off, hugging a bag of chips, munching away.

The toddlers waddled over to Yuxin, their tiny hands gripping the edge of the sofa, tilting their heads up to look at her. Occasionally, they even stuck their little tongues out to lick their lips.

"Mama..."

Er Bao was the first to speak.

Yuxin looked at the three little ones surrounding her, then at the chips they were eyeing so intently. Quickly, she licked her fingers clean and spread her hands out.

"Babies, it’s all gone!"

"Hmm..."

The little ones immediately looked pitiful.

Da Bao pouted and, in a babyish voice, complained, "Mama... you’re lying..."

Glancing at the remaining chips at the bottom of the bag, Yuxin swiftly finished them in one gulp. She spread her hands again and said, "Alright, now it’s *really* all gone."

"Hmm... wahhhh!!!"

Er Bao started bawling.

Tears rolled down his little cheeks like tiny golden beans.

Amused, Xiao Fei walked over, picked up Er Bao, and sat down next to Yuxin. Then, he scooped up the other two and placed them on the sofa as well.

"Alright, don’t cry, Er Bao. These snacks aren’t good for kids."

"Hmm..."

Er Bao wasn’t having it.

"Daddy... you’re biased... you like Mama... you don’t like us..."

Xiao Fei pinched Er Bao’s cheek lovingly.

"That’s not true. Daddy loves Mama, and I love all three of you too. You four are my absolute favorites."

At this, he threw a pointed glance at Yuxin. "And you, stop lying to the babies."

"Heh ~," Yuxin stuck out her tongue in an attempt to weasel out of trouble.

She quickly took out some baby-friendly, melt-in-your-mouth snacks prepared for moments like these.

"Babies, Mama was wrong earlier. I shouldn’t have deceived you. But really, you’re not allowed to eat those chips, okay?"

"Here, try these instead."

The little ones just wanted to eat something since they saw Mama enjoying snacks. It wasn’t like they absolutely needed to eat the same thing.

Seeing the snacks, their tantrums subsided instantly.

At this moment, Xiao Fei suddenly felt his phone vibrate.

He pulled it out and saw it was a message from Su Qingyan.

Subtly turning his body to ensure Yuxin couldn’t see the screen, Xiao Fei tapped on the message.

It turned out that Su Qingyan had sent a flurry of cosmetic recommendations.

[Do you think Yuxin might need these?]

[... Fair point. But seriously, how do you manage your wife? She’s ridiculously gorgeous!]

[That’s called natural beauty. (Proud.jpg)]

Su Qingyan was left speechless.

She quickly replied:

[Well, if giving her those won’t cut it, then...]

Thus began a tirade of suggestions from Su Qingyan, all of which were vetoed one by one by Xiao Fei.

Meanwhile, Yuxin noticed Xiao Fei staring at his phone for an extended period and blinked her eyes in curiosity.

What’s he up to?

From the looks of it... was he chatting with someone?

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"Oh, just checking stocks," Xiao Fei quickly replied. He discreetly set Su Qingyan’s chat to "Do Not Disturb" and switched to a stock app.

Yuxin leaned over for a peek and saw stock charts, so she didn’t think much of it.

However, a little while later...

She noticed Xiao Fei’s fingers dancing across the screen, clearly typing something.

That wasn’t stock research—that was texting!

Yuxin: "...!!!"

Instantly, scenes from *Temptation of Going Home*, *Unforgettable Moments*, *A Small Town Romance*, *Encircled* and other dramas began replaying in Yuxin’s mind like a marathon.

A strong sense of doom set in.

Was her husband... secretly chatting with someone?!

Did he have an affair?!

Could there be some sultry vixen out there seducing her beloved husband?

Yuxin was confident in her looks; few women could rival her beauty. But what if her husband had grown tired of her face after seeing it every single day?

As her mind raced, Yuxin turned to look at the three kids.

Hmm... kiddos, Mommy might just be losing Daddy’s attention...

Her thoughts spiraled, and Yuxin’s expression grew colder and colder.

The intimidating aura she usually reserved for outsiders reached an imposing two-meters-eight.

Xiao Fei paused, feeling the temperature around him drop suddenly.

He glanced up and saw his wife’s face, icy and serious.

"Honey?"

"Hmm~~?"

In a split second, the frosty expression melted away, replaced with a radiant smile beaming right at him.

Xiao Fei: "?????"

Was it just his imagination?

He had an odd feeling that something was off with his wife just now.

Watching Xiao Fei return his gaze to his phone, Yuxin felt her scalp tingle.

This was bad. Her husband really *was* having an affair!

But... something didn’t add up! Who openly chats with a mistress right next to their wife?

I have to trust him! Yuxin, no one can outshine you!

But still... ARGH! She really wanted to know what he was doing on his phone!

Was he chatting with some other woman or not?!

The urge to ask burned inside her.

But what if she ended up causing a misunderstanding?

A torrent of conflicting thoughts bombarded Yuxin’s mind, leaving her flustered and anxious.

Just then, she suddenly felt Xiao Fei wrap an arm around her waist.

Turning her head, she saw Xiao Fei softly pressing his forehead against hers.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The sincere concern in Xiao Fei’s eyes was undeniable.

It was that same gentle gaze that always made Yuxin’s heart melt and rendered her incapable of coherent thought.

"Honey..."

Yuxin suddenly felt emotional and hugged Xiao Fei tightly, nuzzling against him.

"Would you ever stop loving me?"

*Bonk!*

Xiao Fei gently knocked her on the head.

Realization dawned on him—was she suspecting him of cheating?

Seeing how despondent Yuxin looked, Xiao Fei’s heart ached.

He sighed, "Ah... what am I going to do with you? I was trying to keep a surprise from you."

"???????"

"Silly girl," Xiao Fei adjusted Yuxin’s posture. "Your birthday’s coming up. I was racking my brain over what to get you, so I had no choice but to secretly reach out to Su Qingyan for advice."

As he spoke, Xiao Fei brought up his chat with Su Qingyan for Yuxin to see.

Yuxin stared at the messages, her mood swinging wildly before her face began to flush.

She had... completely misunderstood!

Seeing her covering her face, her entire head seemingly about to steam with embarrassment, Xiao Fei chuckled and knocked her on the head again.

"Alright, now as for the specific plans, I’m not spilling any more details. Half the surprise is already spoiled. If I say any more, it won’t be fun anymore."

"Ahhh~~~"

Yuxin let out a playful whine, grinning as she snuggled closer to him.

"Stop it, I’m still in the middle of planning."

"I’m not peeking. I’ll just cuddle you with my eyes closed! Go on, do your thing! My eyes are shut!"
