My College Teacher is My Children's Mom
Chapter 292: Random Encounter with My Ex-Girlfriend from High School!
"Honey, I got these two outfits," she said. "One is for my mom, and the other is for your mom."
Since Zhao Lizhen was a bit on the plumper side, she had bought a larger size for her. Zhang Yuxi had gone shopping with her mother-in-law before, so she knew her measurements. To be honest, she truly enjoyed buying clothes for both her parents and her in-laws. She and her mother used to go shopping together all the time. More than that, she loved seeing the smiles on their faces when they received gifts; it filled her with happiness.
As they passed a men's clothing store, Zhang Yuxi was drawn to a coat on a male mannequin in the window. Seeing the coat, she instantly pictured Lin Feng wearing it.
He'd look so handsome he could fly!
An excited Zhang Yuxi pulled him toward the store. She said to an approaching sales associate, "I'd like to see the men's wool coat from the window display, please."
It was a pure black men's coat with a subtle, princely cut. The design was understated, hinting at a regal style without being ostentatious. It remained very reserved. A coat like this could only be pulled off by a man with a great physique. Anyone who was even slightly stooped, hunchbacked, short, overweight, or had poor posture simply couldn't do it justice.
As she'd expected, the moment Lin Feng put it on, he looked so handsome that Zhang Yuxi's knees felt weak.
She was internally shrieking with delight! Oh my god, how is such a handsome man my husband? What did I ever do to deserve him? Wow, having such a gorgeous man all to myself... I'm just too happy!
The sales associates, however, felt the complete opposite.
Oh my god! Oh my god! Why isn't a man like that *my* husband?! Why is he so handsome? It just goes to show, when people say a piece doesn't fit well, it's their own fault. For a man like that, we wouldn't care if he had a family or a wife! We'd do anything to be with him.
Lin Feng smiled in satisfaction. "You have great taste, honey!"
That single smile was enough to leave the sales associates completely infatuated, unable to pull themselves away. Zhang Yuxi immediately decided to buy two of the coats, so Lin Feng would have a spare.
Lin Feng took out the Black Gold Card.
The women wanted to cry all over again, shedding tears of bitter jealousy.
He's handsome, rich, and gentle. Where on earth do you find a man like that? Even if we're not as pretty as his wife, we'd lower our standards. We just want a man with a face like that! Money is irrelevant; his looks are everything.
Seeing the look of pure infatuation on his wife's face, Lin Feng's ego was greatly satisfied.
"Honey, from now on, I'm in charge of your wardrobe. I'll buy all your clothes!"
Lin Feng had no objections. Zhang Yuxi had excellent taste. The two outfits she had bought him for the New Year were both styles he loved. And this new coat… it definitely made him look even more handsome.
Passing by a jade shop, Lin Feng asked, "Should we buy a jade bracelet for your mom?"
Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "Better not. Something like a jade bracelet should be bought by an expert. If novices like us try to buy one, we're just asking to get ripped off! It's better to let her pick one out herself."
Here, Zhang Yuxi recalled a little story about buying jade.
"Once for my mom's birthday, I knew she liked jade, so I spent US$ 5,000 on a Maitreya Buddha pendant. My mom took one look and said it was worth one or two hundred dollars, at most."
At this, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Then my mom dragged me back to the store. Pretending she didn't know anything about jade, she gushed to the salesperson about how good and translucent the piece I'd bought was.
"Once the salesperson finished her own pitch, my mom verbally tore them apart, leaving them utterly speechless. In the end, they had the nerve to accuse us of causing trouble! But back then, my mom still had some social standing. The moment she mentioned who she was, they clammed up and gave us a refund."
In today's society, there are countless people who bully the weak, fear the strong, and look down on others.
"So what should we buy?" Lin Feng asked.
Zhang Yuxi thought for a moment. "Let's get bags. My mom likes Prada. We'll get one for each of our moms."
Around the corner was a row of luxury boutiques: Louis Vuitton, Prada, and more. Because of Zhao Lizhen's fondness for Prada, Zhang Yuxi was somewhat familiar with the brand and knew which styles her mother-in-law liked.
Upon entering the store, a friendly saleswoman immediately came to assist them. Zhang Yuxi quickly scanned the selection and picked out three handbags.
"You have wonderful taste, miss. These are from the new autumn and winter collection."
After comparing the three bags, Zhang Yuxi chose one with a slightly more vibrant color.
"I'll take two of this style, please."
A flash of surprise crossed the saleswoman's eyes before she smiled. "Of course. Please come this way to pay."
After paying, the couple left. The saleswoman who had helped them immediately started discussing Lin Feng with her colleagues in private.
"Did you see the man I was just helping? He's so handsome! Even more handsome than an A-list celebrity!"
"I saw him! And his wife is gorgeous, too. She has such great poise, like a model!"
"The two of them together are a match made in heaven!"
"He used a Black Gold credit card, right?"
"Yeah."
They'd seen plenty of rich men come in to buy bags, but they had never seen one so handsome. Recalling Lin Feng's face and physique, they couldn't help but fantasize.
Next to Prada was Louis Vuitton. Zhang Yuxi remembered An Lan telling her that LV had released many beautiful new styles this year. Since they were here, she might as well take a look.
Although Zhang Yuxi had grown up in a well-off family, she had never been the type to keep up with the Joneses. As she got older, she didn't have a particular obsession with luxury goods; if she liked something and it felt right, she'd buy it. In the past, she never looked at the price tag when she found something she liked. She'd buy a shirt for $19.99 just as readily as she had once bought one for ninety-nine thousand dollars. She had no real concept of money; there was only what she liked and what she didn't. Even now that her husband was wealthy enough for her to spend lavishly, her mindset hadn't changed.
However, after becoming a mother, while she hadn't exactly learned to be frugal, she had at least stopped spending money carelessly. Besides, Lin Feng was always incredibly supportive of her shopping. No matter what she bought, as long as she liked it, that was all that mattered.
She never would have imagined running into someone so familiar.
Walking toward them was none other than Lin Feng's ex-girlfriend, Wang Yao.
She was dressed in a sales associate's uniform, her makeup was exquisite, and her smile was perfectly polite. At first glance, Lin Feng didn't even recognize her.
Wang Yao looked at the devastatingly handsome man before her, her heart fluttering.
My god, how happy would I be with a boyfriend like that! So handsome, with such an amazing figure!
From the moment Lin Feng walked in, Wang Yao, a sucker for a handsome face, couldn't take her eyes off him. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. The Lin Feng before her now was vastly different from the one she knew. It had been many years since she'd last seen him, so it was natural that she couldn't place him right away.
Perhaps the Lin Feng of her past was just a penniless high school student who couldn't possibly support her. The one who, after high school, had to work in a bar to save up for college tuition. That was why she had chosen to dump him back then—to find a rich man while she was still young.
But now… the longer she looked, the more stunned she became. The two faces—the one from her memory and the one before her—began to merge into one.
Lin Feng was handsome, sure, but was he ever *this* handsome? Or had her memory betrayed her?
Uncertain and not daring to ask directly, Wang Yao could only inquire in a quiet voice, "Are you… Lin Feng?"
