MGASC -Chapter 133 Jealous, But Didn’t Get Any Cuddles with His Wife

One of the teachers held Zhang Qiao’s hand. “You two are the children’s parents, right? I’m Teacher Li, the fourth-grade homeroom teacher, and this is Teacher Feng, the third-grade homeroom teacher.”

Zhang Qiao and Lin Tianyue exchanged a glance.

“Hello, Teacher Li, Teacher Feng! How did the kids do? They didn’t embarrass the school, did they?”

“Embarrass the school? You two are far too modest—there’s no way!”

“Congratulations! Both children successfully passed the entrance exam! Their scores are excellent. Lin Xun got 98 in Chinese and 100 in Math. Lin Ran did even better—perfect scores in both Chinese and Math! Amazing! They really never went to school before? If they hadn’t, yet could achieve such results, these two kids are geniuses!”

Lin Jin quickly raised his hand. “Teacher, test me too! Test me! I’m definitely a genius too!”

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Zhang Qiao and Lin Tianyue felt a surge of excitement.

Especially when they heard that Lin Ran scored even better than his older brother—they were practically overflowing with pride.

Zhang Qiao nudged his little head. “Lin Ran, you were teasing me and your dad just now, weren’t you?”

Lin Tianyue pushed him from the other side. “Little rascal, trying to play tricks on your dad now!”

Lin Ran, feeling a little embarrassed under all the attention, cleared his throat in mock seriousness. “Relax, it was just normal performance. The questions were too easy. Brother, I’ll let you have it.”

Lin Xun: “……”

At that moment, Teacher Li, who would soon be Lin Xun’s homeroom teacher, kindly explained for him. “Lin Xun is actually very good too. He didn’t get a perfect score in Chinese because of the essay—you have to deduct a few points symbolically. But in my eyes, you’re already full marks.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun finally relaxed.

He gave a shy smile. “So I didn’t embarrass myself either, right?”

“Of course not!”

Lin Tianyue and Zhang Qiao said in unison.

Lin Ran: “Then… state-run restaurant?”

“Let’s go now!”

The three children smoothly completed their enrollment, and both homeroom teachers were extremely fond of them, reminding the parents of the stationery and supplies they would need. By September 1st, they could officially start school.

Leaving the school, the family felt refreshed and relieved.

Lin Tianyue, keeping his promise, planned to take the whole family out for a big meal. However, he thought the county’s state-run restaurants were boring and insisted on taking them to Jiangcheng, dozens of kilometers away.

Zhang Qiao and the kids were, of course, completely on board. Besides, she could also buy school supplies and backpacks for the three little ones.

The family arrived at the bus station to wait for the bus, and Zhang Qiao invited Yingzi along. The two women met and whispered conspiratorially for a while.

Lin Tianyue, taking care of the kids, didn’t ask much.

When the bus arrived, he carefully helped Zhang Qiao onto the step.

Originally, he wanted to sit with her, but Zhang Qiao had him sit behind with the kids and called Yingzi to sit beside her.

The two girls had endless things to talk about. Lin Tianyue couldn’t really compete for her attention and felt a pang of disappointment. He had wanted to chat with his wife on the way.

In the end, he could only sadly sit at the back with the three kids.

After an hour, they arrived in bustling Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is the provincial capital. This was Lin Tianyue’s second time bringing Zhang Qiao here; the first was to take the three kids to see a doctor.

“Qiao Qiao, where should we eat?”

Lin Tianyue stood on the city’s main street, seeking Zhang Qiao’s opinion.

Zhang Qiao just smiled silently, looking at Yingzi.

Yingzi winked mischievously. “Director Lin, I heard that Chunmei Restaurant is top-notch. Since we’re rarely in Jiangcheng, we might as well eat the best.”

Zhang Qiao: “I have no objections!”

The three little ones: “We definitely have no objections!”

Lin Tianyue: Good grief, what about Chen Gang? Doesn’t he educate his wife at all? How can someone be so bold about getting a free meal, immediately going for Jiangcheng’s most upscale restaurant?

Chunmei Restaurant is the highest-end state-run restaurant in Jiangcheng, affiliated with Chunmei Hotel. Lin Tianyue had only taken Zhou Junlin there once.

The environment is indeed nice, but the prices are jaw-dropping.

But at a critical moment, a man’s face cannot be lost.

Yingzi: “Director Lin, what do you think?”

Lin Tianyue gave a cold, sharp glance. “Lead the way.”

Thus, the six of them made a grand entrance at this very famous restaurant.

It was lunchtime, and the spacious state-run restaurant was already filled with diners.

They chose a spot, and Zhang Qiao called out three times before a server lazily brought the menu over.

She walked up and dumped the menus on the table, showing no service at all, as if everyone owed her money.

Lin Tianyue’s face darkened with displeasure, but Zhang Qiao smiled at him subtly, unbothered.

“Lin Ran, Lin Xun, Lin Jin, what would you like to eat?”

Zhang Qiao cheerfully placed the menu in front of the kids.

The menu was very simple, only listing dish names with no pictures. For the three little ones, unfamiliar with such fancy food, they looked utterly bewildered.

“Forget it, Qiao Qiao, you order,”

Seeing this, Lin Tianyue passed the menu to her.

Zhang Qiao: “Then I won’t hold back. What are your specialties?”

She asked the server sweetly.

The server snorted. “We have plenty of specialties: Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken, Premium Crispy Fish, Yu Zan Frog Legs, Lychee Crispy Duck, Golden Shrimp Pockets, Green Fish Stew, Braised Three Shreds, White Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables… They’re all our specialties. Nothing you can think of, we can’t make. But our dishes aren’t cheap. Check the prices carefully before ordering!”

Lin Tianyue’s dark gaze swept over her. “Do you think we can’t afford it?”

“Just a friendly reminder!”

Hmph, that tone still looked down on them.

Lin Tianyue had hurried out today. The family was neat and clean, but certainly not high-end. Most patrons here were businessmen in suits, hosting official meals.

Compared to them, the family was a bit plain.

Zhang Qiao put down the menu, speaking slowly and deliberately. “Then we’ll have one of each specialty you just mentioned.”

Yingzi felt a pang of pain in her heart for Director Lin, imagining the bill.

Lin Xun also nervously glanced at his dad. From a quick look at the menu, these dishes were indeed expensive.

“Aunt Qiao is crazy today,” he thought. “Even if the server tried to provoke us, we shouldn’t be so easily tricked.”

The server was also stunned by the family’s extravagance. Among all the guests, she had never seen anyone order all the specialties in one go.

Not to mention the price, six people couldn’t even finish it.

“Comrade, are you sure you want all of them? This will cost over a hundred yuan.”

At that time, over a hundred yuan was equivalent to several thousand in the 21st century. Ordinary workers in the city earned only a hundred or so a month.

Lin Tianyue looked up arrogantly. “Yes, exactly as she said!”

The server’s attitude immediately changed. “O…okay.”

“Now, can we have some tea?” Lin Tianyue leaned back in his chair, crossing his long legs with pride, speaking with the politest tone while showing his annoyance.

“Of course!”
