Chapter 182: Chapter 182: I’ve Been Scorned!

Seeing Xiao Fei walk in.

The babies immediately started chirping, "Ba ba," "Ba ba."

Xiao Fei responded with a sound and walked over.

Skilfully, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a soft candy that’s always ready for little kids to eat and dissolves immediately, then slipped it into Er Bao’s mouth.

This soft candy is sweet but contains very little sugar. As long as you make sure the kids don’t eat too much, their teeth will be fine.

Then, Xiao Fei played with Sanbao while simultaneously handling Da Bao’s barrage of questions.

"Ba ba... why..."

"Because..."

"Then, mama..."

"That’s because..."

Tang Yuxin stood nearby, utterly dumbfounded.

Her husband... is amazing!

How does he even do it?!

Is her husband a superhero?

Tang Yuxin rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t imagining things.

Xiao Fei was genuinely managing three kids at once with complete ease!

She massaged her forehead, leaning against the wall.

The scene in front of her felt too surreal.

When the babies were first born, Tang Yuxin took care of them herself. Back then, they cried either because they were hungry or needed a diaper change, and that was it.

Though the frequency was high and she was constantly unable to eat or sleep properly, resolving these issues was straightforward, and the babies were relatively easy to appease.

But ever since Xiao Fei stepped in, Tang Yuxin hadn’t worried about the kids at all, leaving them entirely in Xiao Fei’s care.

Now, this rare moment where Tang Yuxin wanted to lighten Xiao Fei’s burden, she was suddenly faced with three one-year-olds who could talk, ask questions, and demand playtime with her—and she realized she had no idea what to do.

So this is how her husband has been managing all along?

Tang Yuxin’s gaze gradually became dazed.

If... she had never met Xiao Fei, and had been the one taking care of the kids all alone, she might’ve gone completely mad by now, right?

Once Xiao Fei had calmed the kids down and they began entertaining themselves, only then did Tang Yuxin leave the nursery with him, leaving Xiang Zilan and Little Bei behind to watch over them.

Back in the study, Tang Yuxin gently hugged Xiao Fei.

"What’s wrong?"

"Hubby..."

Nuzzled in his embrace, Tang Yuxin spoke in a muffled voice.

"...Have you always handled the kids like this?"

"What do you think?"

"Is it exhausting?"

"Not really. You know I’m full of energy... especially at night."

"I’m being serious!"

Tang Yuxin blushed and delivered a playful headbutt to Xiao Fei.

Then, she led him to the desk to sit down and began massaging his shoulders.

"Hubby, you’ve been working so hard. Let me pamper you—this is a special service from your wife!"

"Alright, alright."

Xiao Fei closed his eyes and enjoyed the shoulder rub for a moment, then brushed her hands away. "You were with the kids earlier, so go rest."

"No way!"

Tang Yuxin clenched her fists and snorted with determination.

"I’m a mom! Moms don’t give up when faced with the challenge of raising kids! Since you’ve managed this all on your own for so long, I can do it too!"

"Then good luck~"

Xiao Fei gave Tang Yuxin an encouraging look.

"Just you watch!"

Tang Yuxin proudly raised her head and marched away.

Back in the nursery, Tang Yuxin summoned her courage and sat amongst the kids.

"Come, babies, Mommy will play with you now!"

Da Bao lifted his head to glance at Tang Yuxin, then let out a melancholy sigh.

"Sigh..."

Tang Yuxin: "...?"

Da Bao, what’s the meaning of this?

Are you looking down on Mommy?

"Da Bao, why did you sigh?"

Da Bao pouted slightly.

"Mama, you’re silly."

Tang Yuxin instantly fumed.

Silly?

She is a high-achieving scholar who studied abroad and graduated years ahead of schedule with a doctorate?!

And now, she’s being called silly by a one-year-old toddler?

Even if this toddler is her kid, it’s still unacceptable!

"Da Bao, Mommy is very smart! If you have any questions, just ask!"

Da Bao gave her a wistful look and then replied, "Not~ a~ thing~."

She felt utterly, completely dismissed by Da Bao.

Tang Yuxin was hit by a deep sense of defeat.

At that moment, Sanbao wobbled over and cuddled into Tang Yuxin’s arms.

"Mama, can you play duckie with me?"

Yes! Excellent! Sanbao is a good girl! Mommy will play games with you!

Tang Yuxin immediately brightened up. Despite Da Bao’s disdain, Sanbao was still sweet and wanted Mommy’s company to play!

A few minutes later...

"Mama... that’s wrong..."

Sanbao stared at Tang Yuxin holding a toy duck and crawling it around on the floor alongside her own duck, then shook her head hard.

"This... duckie... it flies!"

Tang Yuxin: "???"

Tang Yuxin, completely perplexed, earned herself Sanbao’s saddened gaze.

After hitting a wall with Sanbao, Tang Yuxin turned to Er Bao.

Er Bao was busy directing Little Bei.

Wherever her finger pointed, Little Bei would flap and fly over, followed by a resounding "Quack!"

Er Bao was utterly engrossed in her play...

She didn’t seem to need Tang Yuxin at all.

After taking a look around, Tang Yuxin realized she had failed completely again.

A bit later, the babies suddenly stopped playing, each turning their heads, staring fixatedly at Tang Yuxin with wide eyes.

Their expressions made Tang Yuxin squirm.

"What is it, babies?"

"Class..."

Da Bao said flatly.

"Huh?"

Class? What class?

Er Bao gestured with her hands and tried to explain: "Ba ba... every day... class... quack!"

After struggling to communicate with the kids for a long time, Tang Yuxin finally understood that Xiao Fei had been doing early education with them every afternoon after playtime.

Over time, the babies had grown accustomed to it.

Tang Yuxin patted her chest and announced loudly, "Today, Mommy will do it!"

Early education? Piece of cake!

Educating little kids is not difficult at all! Just sing some songs, dance a bit, and play games!

She’s a university lecturer, for heaven’s sake!

About ten minutes later.

Tang Yuxin, emitting a terrifyingly dark aura, pushed open the study door like a defeated zombie barely hanging on.

Xiao Fei looked at her, startled, as if she were teetering on the brink of exhaustion.

"What happened, honey?!"

Tang Yuxin saw Xiao Fei and tugged weakly at the corners of her mouth.

"Hubby... I don’t think I’m cut out to be a teacher."

"Huh?"

"Did you try to teach the kids early education?"

Tang Yuxin nodded, then was overcome with sorrow.

"I was humiliated! The babies... the babies actually called me immature! I was singing nursery rhymes for them, and they looked down on me...!!!!"

"Who told you to sing nursery rhymes?"

"Isn’t that what early education is about?"

Xiao Fei sighed.

"Each of them needs to be taught differently. Da Bao has peculiar interests and is unusually precocious. With him, you just need to tell some stories suitable for children aged around five to six years old. He specifically enjoys listening to historical tales."

"I’ve even been thinking of starting to teach him phonics soon."

Tang Yuxin couldn’t believe it.

A one-year-old toddler likes this kind of thing? Can he even understand it?

"Sanbao’s imagination is especially whimsical. She likes stories too, but she prefers fairy tales. I usually embed some basic knowledge and principles into the fairy tales. Sanbao might not fully understand, but she enjoys them."

"What about Er Bao?"

Tang Yuxin was puzzled. First Da Bao, then straight to Sanbao—what about Er Bao?

"Er Bao is trickier. Maybe it’s connected to her grabbing the paintbrush during her one-year-old grab test, but she likes drawing."

"Right now, it’s mainly messy scribbles, but every time she finishes, Er Bao insists on having you discuss it with her. You need to decipher her style, which resembles Picasso chugging ten bottles of baijiu, closing his eyes, gripping a pen with his feet, and sketching madly. Afterward, she demands feedback and encouragement. If your interpretation doesn’t match what Er Bao had in mind, she throws a fit..."

Tang Yuxin swallowed hard.

She wasn’t sure whether to describe the babies as geniuses or her husband as otherworldly.
