"Honey, what name should we give the baby?"
"Let's call it 'Remembering the Bitter Past' and 'Appreciating the Sweet Present' instead."
Huo Beian gently kissed her forehead.
"good."
"Wife, no one can stop us from being together now. Wife, I love you, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life!"
"Thank you, my love, I love you too!"
The two embraced tightly and kissed...
...
Time flies, and six years have passed.
For the past six years, the two have been loving and respectful to each other, and are a model couple praised by everyone.
In the blink of an eye, Yiku and Sitian are six years old, the age to start first grade.
Now, Song Ning and Huo Beian are having a conflict over their child's schooling.
Huo Beian believes that letting children play more and having a happy and joyful childhood is the most important thing.
However, Song Ning felt that the current social competition is fierce and demanding, so she had to prepare in advance and enrolled her two children in various extracurricular classes.
Dance classes, painting classes, calligraphy classes, robotics classes, piano classes... In addition to kindergarten, children also attend various extracurricular classes, leaving them with no free time on weekends.
Song Ning personally takes care of everything, taking the children to various extracurricular classes.
Huo Beian immediately felt a pang of heartache. "Wife, the child is so young, and you're already so tired. It breaks my heart."
Song Ning sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Parents are very demanding these days. We can't let our children lose at the starting line."
“But I have the means to support my children, so they don’t need to work so hard.”
After all, Huo Beian believed that, given Lian Sicheng's status, he was the richest man in the country. The child of the richest man had more money than he could spend, so there was no need for him to embezzle.
Song Ning shook her head, "We can't let our child fall behind others!"
“We can spend more time with them in person and take them to see a wider world, instead of just confining them to various classes.”
“But all the other kids are getting their kids tested, and if we don’t, we’ll fall behind. We have to get tested.”
The two argued back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand.
Finally, Huo Beian gave up and decided to listen to his wife, since he believed that Song Ning, as a modern person, should be more aware of the current state of modern education.
Modern people value education much more than people did in the 1970s.
Because Song Ning is a public figure, she frequently attends charity events and invests in film productions, leaving her with limited time to spend with her child. Therefore, she hired a tutor to provide one-on-one tutoring at home.
The tutor's name is Lin Xiaowei. She is a graduate student at a prestigious university. She has a pretty face, speaks very gently, and is very patient in her teaching. Both children like her very much.
Seeing how well Teacher Lin organized the children's studies, Huo Beian also accepted this teaching method.
Sometimes, when the children are reluctant to let Teacher Lin leave in the evening, Song Ning will have Teacher Lin stay for dinner.
Lin Xiaowei got along very well with Song Ning's family, and they were all quite familiar with each other.
However, Lin Xiaowei's eyes would always follow Huo Beian subtly, her gaze filled with a mixture of admiration and longing.
After all, Huo Beian at this moment exudes the mature charm of a successful man, and he is tall and handsome, which makes him very attractive to young girls.
Huo Beian didn't notice at first, until one time when Song Ning wasn't home.
In the afternoon, after Lin Xiaowei finished tutoring the children, she took a cup of coffee into his study under the pretext of delivering the teaching plan.
"Mr. Lian, how about a cup of coffee to perk yourself up?"
Lin Xiaowei's voice was soft and gentle. When she placed the coffee on the table, her fingertips "accidentally" touched the back of Huo Beian's hand.
Huo Beian frowned almost imperceptibly, quickly withdrew his hand, and said in a distant and indifferent tone, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. Just leave the coffee on the table. I have other things to do."
Lin Xiaowei's smile froze for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Lian. But I'd like to talk to you about the children's recent situation..."
"You can discuss the children's education with my wife when she gets home. She's the one who makes the decisions in this family," Huo Beian interrupted her.
"Mr. Lian is so successful and so family-oriented. I really envy Miss Song." Lin Xiaowei said sourly.
"Song Ning is irreplaceable in my heart. My love for my wife is stronger than gold. There's no need to be envious. I believe that someone as outstanding as Teacher Lin will find an outstanding husband in the future. I have something to attend to, so you can go out now."
Lin Xiaowei's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she could only awkwardly retreat.
After this incident, Huo Beian suddenly felt that Lin Xiaowei might not be as innocent as she seemed. Hopefully, she was just overthinking it.
What happened next left him speechless.
One time, it was pouring rain. Lin Xiaowei didn't bring an umbrella.
Song Ning then let her stay at her home for one night.
As a result, after Lin Xiaowei finished showering, with her wet hair hanging down her shoulders and wearing a bathrobe, she deliberately went into Song Ning and Huo Beian's bedroom when she entered the room.
Just then, Song Ning was in the next room putting the children to sleep.
Huo Beian had just taken off his clothes, leaving him only in his briefs.
As a result, Lin Xiaowei walked right in.
She saw Huo Beian's muscular chest and immediately blushed.
Huo Beian thought it was Song Ning, but it turned out to be Lin Xiaowei, whose half-open bathrobe revealed a glimpse of her cleavage.
He immediately lowered his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lian, I went to the wrong place."
Lin Xiaowei deliberately finished speaking, turned around, and then slipped and fell to the ground.
At that moment, Huo Beian instinctively reached out and helped her up.
Lin Xiaowei clung to Huo Beian like a water snake.
"Thank you, Mr. Lian." Her voice was soft and gentle, and her body was limp.
The bathrobe almost slipped off.
Huo Beian blushed instantly and immediately released her, saying, "You should leave now. My wife might misunderstand if she comes in."
Instead, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest.
"Mr. Lian, I don't want to leave. I like you."
Hearing this sudden confession, Huo Beian felt at a loss and immediately pushed her away.
"Lin Xiaowei, watch your step. I am a married man. Please don't have any unrealistic ideas about me."
After saying that, he opened the door directly.
"Go out."
Lin Xiaowei had no choice but to leave.
Seeing that she had left, Huo Beian quickly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
After the children went to sleep, Song Ning came over. Huo Beian went straight to the point and said to Song Ning, "Wife, let's replace Teacher Lin."
Song Ning was somewhat surprised and put down the book in her hand: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with her teaching?"
“There’s nothing wrong with her teaching, but there’s something wrong with her.” Huo Beian hugged her tighter. “She has feelings for me. I can tell.”
After he finished speaking, he recounted what had just happened.
"Really? I really couldn't tell. I'll have my assistant contact the tutoring center tomorrow to change tutors." Song Ning was furious. Hiring a tutor, and they're trying to poach her?!
The next day, Song Ning swiftly dismissed Lin Xiaowei.
