238: Source of a sense of accomplishment

In less than an hour, Lin Zifeng served four dishes and a soup on the dining table.

Chen Yuqing brought the Little fellow to wash his hands, and then sat down at the table with Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng took three glass cups, poured a cup of milk for the Little fellow, then picked up a bottle of White Liquor and said, "Yuqing, shall we have a drink?

This is the first time the three of us have eaten alone together as a family. We should have some wine to celebrate."

Chen Yuqing glanced at Chen Haotian. Seeing that the Little fellow's attention was entirely on the Cola Chicken Wings, she gave Lin Zifeng a charmingly reproachful look and whispered, "Don't get carried away and start speaking carelessly.

You and Haotian are father and son, and we are mother and son, but we aren't exactly a 'family of three'.

If you get into the habit of saying that and let it slip in front of my parents or Yuxi, what would Yuxi think?"

"It was my lack of consideration. I was just excited and spoke from the heart. I'll definitely be careful in the future."

Lin Zifeng spoke while pouring the wine.

Chen Yuqing nodded slightly and took the wine glass. "The car ride here was a bit tiring, so I'll have a glass with you to relax! But you can't drink too much."

Her words carried a deeper meaning.

The two of them sat there, chatting quietly and sipping their drinks while taking care of the Little fellow during the meal.

Neither of them drank much, only one glass each. Once the Little fellow was full, the two adults were also finished.

Chen Yuqing went to play with the Little fellow while Lin Zifeng tidied up. He then found the pajamas he had prepared for the boy in advance, walked over to the mother and son, and said, "Yuqing, I'll take Haotian to bathe. These pajamas are new ones I bought a couple of days ago; I washed them yesterday."

Chen Yuqing smiled and said, "You're quite thoughtful. Haotian, go bathe with Maternal Aunt's Husband!"

The Little fellow chirped an agreement and stood up to take his large hand. Lin Zifeng led him toward the bathroom.

About half an hour later, Lin Zifeng, dressed in pajamas, walked out of the bathroom carrying the Little fellow, who was also in pajamas.

Seeing them come out, Chen Yuqing took her pajamas from the guest room and went into the bathroom.

Lin Zifeng carried the Little fellow into the bedroom and began telling him stories to coax him to sleep.

Half an hour later, the Little fellow was sleeping with steady breaths. Lin Zifeng turned off the light and tiptoed out.

Just as he closed the door, he saw Chen Yuqing walking out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

"Is Haotian asleep?" Chen Yuqing asked softly.

He nodded while walking toward her. Chen Yuqing's eyes held both anticipation and a hint of fluster.

Before she could make any reaction, Lin Zifeng pulled her into his arms.

"Yuqing, I'm truly grateful to you for giving birth to such a cute and sensible son for me.

Looking at our lovely son, my heart is filled with nothing but joy and a deep sense of fulfillment."

"Is your sense of fulfillment just from having a son, or is it also because I'm the one who gave birth to him?"

Chen Yuqing whispered into his ear, her warm breath tickling him.

That simple sentence ignited a fire in his heart. He immediately responded with action, bending down to scoop her up in a princess carry.

Seeing him urgently carrying her toward the bedroom, Chen Yuqing hurriedly whispered, "Zifeng, I can't get pregnant again. I have protection in my bag."

Hearing her words and knowing she had come prepared, Lin Zifeng turned and hooked the handbag she had left to the side with his finger.

He kicked the bedroom door shut, closing off everything else.

After three years, the two were together once more; everything was understood without words.

The next morning, the two appeared in the kitchen looking radiant. With smiles on their faces, they prepared breakfast together.

The way they looked at each other was filled with an inseparable affection.

"Zifeng, both Yuxi and I expected what would happen during my visit to Yushu County. This was also tacitly permitted by Yuxi.

Yuxi loves you to the bone, which is why she is so tolerant of you.

You've reached a high position at such a young age, and you'll face even more temptations in the future. I hope you cherish the affection we have for you.

In the future, try to have as little contact as possible with that Town Mayor Jiang! I don't have the right to persuade you to break it off with her completely, but I must remind you to know when to stop."

Chen Yuqing spoke with hidden meaning.

Hearing her words, Lin Zifeng knew that Chen Yuqing had sensed his relationship with Jiang Yufei. He didn't try to defend himself and simply nodded, saying, "I understand. I've been too greedy."

Chen Yuqing nodded and didn't continue the topic. Noticing some flour on his forehead, she stepped forward and reached out to wipe it off.

Seeing her tempting red lips so close, Lin Zifeng couldn't help but press his lips against hers.

Just as the two were losing themselves in the moment, Chen Haotian's childish voice came from behind them.

"Mommy, what are you and Maternal Aunt's Husband doing?"

The two pulled apart as if struck by lightning. Chen Yuqing said hurriedly and awkwardly, "Maternal Aunt's Husband got flour in his eye, so Mommy was blowing it out for him.

Doesn't Mommy blow in your eye when you get something in it?"

The Little fellow let out an "oh." Lin Zifeng quickly stepped forward to lead him away, saying, "Come, Haotian, I'll take you to wash up and change. We're about to have breakfast."

Watching the father and son walk away, Chen Yuqing patted her blushing face with both hands before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Lin Zifeng stayed home to play with Chen Haotian, while Chen Yuqing drove to the Office. She was going to take the Office staff to the Yingjianzui Scenic Area.

Chen Yuqing and Chen Haotian stayed for five consecutive days, only leaving on the morning of the 6th.

These five days were absolute bliss and happiness for Lin Zifeng, but he also knew that such days would be rare in the future.

Therefore, during these five days, he cherished every single second he spent with the mother and son.

If he were to remain perpetually caught up in romantic entanglements, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things in his official career.

To hold the power of the world in one's hand while waking, and to rest one's head on a beauty's lap while drunk—this is every man's dream. Ordinary men can only think about it secretly, but Lin Zifeng now had the opportunity. How could he not strive to make it a reality?

Thus, he quickly pulled himself out of the melancholy of the parting and went to work the next day full of energy.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had gone by. It was now late October.

At this time, a rumor had spread through the County Committee Compound: Wan Guoliang was about to be promoted to the Municipal Party Committee to serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

The staff in the compound were discussing privately who would serve as the new County Party Secretary after Wan Guoliang was transferred.

Everyone agreed that if the new County Party Secretary wasn't an outside appointee, Lin Zifeng had the highest probability of taking over the position.
