《Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me》 Chapter 1: The Goddess Around Me Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Goddess Around Me Early morning, Lin Yi slowly woke up. The outside light was bright, and it was already well past sunrise. He expertly threw off the covers, intending to get out of bed. But Lin Yi was startled because he suddenly found a jade arm resting on his chest. This slender arm was like white jade, wless and perfect. The delicate skin against Lin Yi¡¯s body felt like the world¡¯s most exquisite silk, its cool touch sending his imagination running wild. After a brief stupor, Lin Yi jumped out of bed. His mind was in chaos, somewhat at a loss. Rubbing his temples forcefully, Lin Yi finally rememberedst night¡¯s events. ¡°Damn it, drunk and disorderly, what am I going to do now?¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mind raced, he had only gone to the bar to drown his sorrows after a breakupst night. But once he started drinking, he couldn¡¯t stop, and he vaguely remembered he was so drunk he couldn¡¯t even walk properly. It was a kindhearted girl who helped him to a nearby hotel to stay. After that, he couldn¡¯t remember anything, and the woman lying in the bed before him was most likely the girl who had helped him. What on earth had he done? Lin Yi looked at himself,pletely naked. And the woman on the bed seemed to be without her undergarments as well. Just a little thought, and Lin Yi roughly had an answer. Feeling guilty, he carefully searched the bed for his clothes. After covering himself briefly, Lin Yi found his trousers pressed under the woman¡¯s lower leg. Helplessly, he carefully held the woman¡¯s ankle, nning to lift it so he could retrieve his trousers. As his hand held the woman¡¯s ankle, feeling its springy touch, he couldn¡¯t help but let his thoughts wander again. ¡°Sinful, sinful,¡± Lin Yi chanted in his mind as he quickly pulled out his trousers. Before he had time to put down the woman¡¯s ankle, she was awakened by Lin Yi¡¯s actions from her sleep. Three secondster, a scream sharp enough to pierce eardrums rang out. Lin Yi looked towards the woman on the bed in panic; she had already retreated under the covers, leaving only herrge eyes flickering with fear as they scanned the surroundings. Lin Yi hurriedly put on his trousers. Extending his hand awkwardly, he tried to soothe the woman¡¯s emotions. ¡°Beautiful, don¡¯t yell, let¡¯s talk this over,¡± he said. Right then, Lin Yi could feel aches all over his body. It was evident that he had indeed overexerted himselfst night. It was unfortunate for this woman, who had kindly helped him only to be taken advantage of by him¡­ ¡°Sigh!¡± Lin Yi sighed, wanting to take responsibility for this woman. The woman rustled as she dressed under the covers, and finally, her face came into view before Lin Yi. The moment her face was revealed, Lin Yi, who had a bunch to say, was suddenly speechless. What kind of face was this?! Fair skin with a hint of blush, a pair of eyes that looked pitiful and at the same time revealed toughness. Below the eyes was a small and refined nose. Below the nose were soft, beautiful lips that didn¡¯tck definition. Only at this moment, the lipstick on her mouth was smeared a bit messily. Stray wisps of hair on her forehead were messily spread out, which instead of making her look unkempt, gave off azy vibe. ¡°Are you still looking, turn around!¡± she eximed. The woman¡¯s angry voice startled Lin Yi from his daze. ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯m turning around now,¡± Lin Yi quicklyplied, fearing the woman might be further agitated. The woman behind him was getting dressed, and Lin Yi sighed as he exined, ¡°Aboutst night, it wasn¡¯t intentional, but don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take responsibility.¡± That was his true inner thought, after all, he was a man. Having made a mistake in a moment of impulse the night before, he had to take responsibility for his actions. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the woman¡¯s voice came through like a startled oriole. ¡°Last night? Just pretend nothing happened! We¡¯re all adults here, you don¡¯t need to y the good, responsible man act.¡± Lin Yi was stunned,¡±Uh¡­¡± The woman¡¯s words left him speechless. He hadn¡¯t expected the seemingly frail woman to utter such strong words. Lin Yi thought for a moment, realizing that his own thoughts were indeed naive, as both of them had acted on impulse the night before. Neither party knew each other, so how could they possibly get along right away? Even if the two were to pay for their impulsiveness by starting a rtionship, such a malformed romance was unlikely tost. From this perspective, the woman¡¯s thinking was much more mature than Lin Yi¡¯s. Lin Yi continued, ¡°So, see, do you need me to do anything for you?¡± He genuinely wanted to make amends, but he couldn¡¯t think of an appropriate way to do so. ¡°Compensation? Do you think that will help?¡± her words made Lin Yi feel somewhat ufortable. ¡°I¡¯m leaving, let¡¯s pretendst night never happened!¡± After saying this, the woman headed towards the room¡¯s door. Lin Yi felt a bit of difort, yet he didn¡¯t quite dare to face the woman directly. The sound of the door opening echoed, but the woman didn¡¯t leave right away. ¡°You, turn your head!¡± the woman¡¯s voice reached Lin Yi¡¯s ears. Lin Yi¡¯s body tensed, and he slowly turned his head. The woman¡¯s eyes were sharp as knives, deeply embedding Lin Yi¡¯s image into her memory. Then she mmed the door and left. Lin Yi¡¯s tensed nerves rxed, ¡°What on earth is all this!¡± As he searched the bed for his belongings, the moment he lifted the covers, Lin Yi¡¯s hand froze. He wasn¡¯t foolish, he understood. ¡°Damn, I¡¯ve made a huge mistake,¡± Lin Yi felt endlesspassion for the woman. ¡°No, I can¡¯t just let her go like this. I wonder ifst night¡¯s bar surveince caught her face.¡± Last night, Lin Yi had gone to the bar alone to drown his sorrows. The reason was rather melodramatic, his recently ex-girlfriend had taken up with a rich man, and he had walked in on them. She had broken up with him because of rumors that Lin Yi¡¯s father¡¯spany was about to go bankrupt, prompting her to end things quickly. But in fact, Lin Yi¡¯s father did face a cash flow problem, which was resolved fairly soon after. Yet Lin Yi couldn¡¯t understand how his ex-girlfriend, who he was still upset about breaking up with, could have found someone else so quickly. His serious girlfriend turned out to be so mercenary, inevitably leaving Lin Yi heartbroken. It was just one trip to the bar to drown his sorrows that unintentionally led to a one-night stand. While Lin Yi was rummaging for his belongings, he suddenly spotted a student ID. The ID wasn¡¯t his, it belonged to the woman who had just left. ¡°She¡¯s a university student too?¡± Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised by the student ID. With this in hand, he wouldn¡¯t worry about not being able to find her! Chapter 2 - 2 Triplets Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Triplets ¡°` Picking up the student ID, Lin Yi looked at it carefully and found out that the other person was actually from the same university as himself! ¡°A senior in the Art Department, Han Xuewei?¡± Lin Yi murmured to himself. He had heard this name many times before. Because Han Xuewei was the recognized campus belle of their university! It never crossed his mind that the campus belle, the dream girl of tens of thousands, had just lost her virginity the night before. And to him, of all people?!! Lin Yi felt as if he were dreaming. Even though Lin Yi himself was quite handsome, whenever he waspared to the campus belle, he couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat inferior. Because Han Xuewei¡¯s beauty was not that of shy aesthetic, but rather one with a transcendent quality. Even when she walked towards someone, she emanated a sense of distance that made one dare not defile her. Lin Yi had never imagined that a mistake he made unwittingly had led to a night of intimacy with Han Xuewei. Soon, Lin Yi saw a line of small print on the back of the student ID. ¡°If found, please call: 135********¡± A wave of excitement washed over Lin Yi, as it seemed he had found Han Xuewei¡¯s phone number. He took out his mobile phone, but hesitated for a moment and didn¡¯t dial the number right away. Instead, he opened WeChat, searched for the WeChat ount linked to the phone number. After clicking to add as a friend, he sent the request and then Lin Yi waited for her to ept his friend request. But by the afternoon, Han Xuewei still hadn¡¯t epted his friend request. Out of options, Lin Yi exined his intent and tried sending the friend request again. ¡°I found your student ID.¡± This time, it wasn¡¯t long before Han Xuewei epted his friend request. Lin Yi quickly typed a message: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, where are you? I can bring your student ID to you.¡± The chat window showed that the other party was typing¡­ Lin Yi felt a bit nervous inside, as he also wanted to see Han Xuewei again. However, a momentter, Han Xuewei¡¯s message came back. ¡°Leave your student ID before 6 o¡¯clock tonight on the bench under the third trash bin on the right side of the school¡¯s main gate. I wille to get it, let¡¯s not meet again.¡± Reading the message from Han Xuewei, Lin Yi¡¯s heart sank. But if the belle didn¡¯t want to see him, he had no right to insist. Following her instructions, he left the student ID in the specified spot, then Lin Yi resumed his normal life. Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye three months had passed. Winter break was just around the corner, and Lin Yi knew that after this winter break, their college life would basically be reduced to internships. It wouldn¡¯t be long before all these senior students stepped into society. That day, in the city¡¯s maternity hospital, Han Xuewei was holding a B-ultrasound report with a pale face. In her other hand, she also held a medical report. In her mind, Han Xuewei was still reying the doctor¡¯s congrattions. ¡°Congrattions, congrattions, you are pregnant, and it¡¯s triplets at that! This is quite rare!¡± Without realizing it, tears began to slide down the corners of Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes. She never expected such an oue; originally, she just wanted one night of madness with the person she fancied. But she had never thought that she¡¯d end up pregnant, and with the rare urrence of triplets at that! ¡°` The cold reality left Han Xuewei feeling panicky and disordered. ording to the doctor, she had already missed the optimal window for an abortion, and forcing it now could likely affect her ability to bear children in the future. What should she do now? Should she keep the baby? She didn¡¯t dare tell her family about it, yet she couldn¡¯t handle it on her own anymore. Unable to stay calm any longer, overwhelmed by helplessness and despair, her hands trembling, she took out her phone. Han Xuewei, her face pale, dialed Lin Yi¡¯s number. ¡°Lin Yi, do you have time right now?¡± Once the call connected, Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t hold back her tears any longer, and she started to sob uncontrobly. Upon hearing Han Xuewei¡¯s crying, Lin Yi immediately became flustered. He asked anxiously, ¡°I have time, don¡¯t cry¡­ What happened? Where are you?¡± Instinctively, Lin Yi felt something wasn¡¯t right. Ever since that night of madness, Han Xuewei had never reached out to him first; she must be calling today because something serious had happened. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m at the city¡¯s maternal and child hospital,¡± Han Xuewei said between sobs. Lin Yi¡¯s head buzzed upon hearing this. Was Han Xuewei sick? And to go to the city¡¯s maternal and child hospital, of all ces¡­ but that shouldn¡¯t be possible; he was the very model of moderation in his daily life. How could she be sick because of him? Confused, Lin Yi hurriedly hailed a cab and rushed to the city¡¯s maternal and child hospital. Before long, Lin Yi, in a flurry, arrived at the hospital, where he saw Han Xuewei in the long corridor that smelled of disinfectant. She was curled up in a chair, crying incessantly. Lin Yi quickly approached and handed a tissue to Han Xuewei. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, how did you get sick?¡± Lin Yi asked softly. Looking at Han Xuewei in that moment, his heart genuinely ached for her. Han Xuewei, hearing Lin Yi¡¯s words, didn¡¯t say anything but instead handed him her ultrasound report. Lin Yi took the paper in a daze, and after staring at it for a full minute, he suddenly jumped up from his seat. ¡°This¡­ this is¡­ real??¡± Lin Yi stammered, pointing at the report in his hand, his face showing profound shock. Han Xuewei, who had been crying, was startled by his abrupt reaction. At that moment, with her lips quivering and her beautiful eyes lifted, she red at Lin Yi beside her. The look in her eyes made Lin Yi¡¯s heart race; it was as if she was peering into his very soul. It didn¡¯t take long for Lin Yi to regain hisposure from the initial shock. The report made it very clear, Han Xuewei was pregnant, already three months along. What¡¯s more, she was carrying triplets! No wonder Lin Yi had jumped up; naturally conceived triplets were almost as unlikely as winning the lottery. The report also clearly stated that choosing to abort this time could seriously harm Han Xuewei¡¯s body. At that moment, Han Xuewei kept her unblinking gaze fixed on Lin Yi. Despite feeling extremely fragile inside, she forced herself to appear resilient. She was eager to see what Lin Yi¡¯s stance would be regarding the three unborn babies. If Lin Yi was willing to take responsibility, then she would choose to give birth to the three children. However, if Lin Yi refused to take responsibility, then Han Xuewei would risk not being able to get pregnant again and get an abortion no matter what. Seeing Lin Yi still staring at the report without making a statement, the tears in Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes began to flow uncontrobly once again. Chapter 3: System Arrival Chapter 3: Chapter 3: System Arrival Watching the beauty in tears, Lin Yi realized that he had lost hisposure just now. So he quickly put away the medical report and sat next to Han Xuewei. ¡°Xue Mei, don¡¯t cry, I was just a little shocked for a moment,¡± Lin Yi exined softly. Han Xuewei started to speak, ¡°I originally thought I had an irregr period, and with the winter clothes being so thick, I didn¡¯t think much of it. Buttely, my belly has been growing, and I came to the hospital for a checkup, just to be sure, and the result¡­¡± As she spoke, Han Xuewei broke into sobs again. Lin Yi felt helpless; all he could do was gently pat Han Xuewei¡¯s back as a gesture offort. After calming down for a moment, Han Xuewei continued, ¡°Lin Yi, do you know? I¡¯ve actually liked you for a long time, ever since we first started school. It¡¯s just that you already had a girlfriend at the time, so I didn¡¯t interfere.¡± ¡°That day when you were arguing with your girlfriend outside school, I saw everything, and I also saw youing out of the barpletely drunk. I couldn¡¯t bear to see you so intoxicated on the street, so I helped you check into a room.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, I didn¡¯t want to deliberately disturb your life.¡± ¡°At that time I hadn¡¯t expected that I would get pregnant, let alone with triplets. Although I know this is unfair to you¡­ I don¡¯t want to miss the chance to be a mother. Lin Yi, what¡­ what do you think?¡± After Han Xuewei had spoken, she curled up like a wounded bunny. After hearing Han Xuewei¡¯s bold confession about her feelings for him, Lin Yi felt stupefied. Because he had never expected that the campus belle had been harboring a crush on him since her freshman year. At that moment, he could feel a warm current welling up in his heart. In fact, Lin Yi also had a clear fondness for Han Xuewei, except that his ex-girlfriend Li Jingwen had pursued him too persistently at the time. After all, it¡¯s always easier when a girl chases a guy. However, now, Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but think about the rest of his life when he looked at Han Xuewei. epting Han Xuewei meant that from this moment on, he had to take up the responsibilities of a husband and even a father. Although he did not resist the idea of starting a family with Han Xuewei, he really was not mentally prepared yet. Even though Lin Yi had his worries, he was very clear that aborting the pregnancy, especially triplets, would cause immense harm to a woman. If it were because of him that Han Xuewei lost her chance to ever get pregnant again, Lin Yi would never forgive himself. Especially a woman as beautiful as Han Xue, who could still be so pure, was one in a million in this world, right? So after much thought, Lin Yi decided he would take up this responsibility. As a man, how could he flee at the moment of truth? Although Han Xuewei took advantage of him while he was drunk, Lin Yi himself was not averse to her. To have such a beautiful campus belle as a wife and adorable triplets, Lin Yi suddenly felt his life was full of drive. ¡°Ding! Congrattions, host, on making the right choice and officially activating the Good Father System!¡± ¡°As this is the host¡¯s first time binding with the system, a special neer reward is provided: a luxury vi of four hundred square meters in the city center!¡± The moment Lin Yi made his decision, this somewhat mechanical voice rang directly in his mind. He was instantly frozen in ce. A system?? And rewarding him with a four hundred square meter vi in the city center? As someone who had been a bookworm for ten years, he naturally knew about the existence of systems. ¡°` But he had never imagined that one day he would be chosen by the system! And was the system¡¯s generosity too much? It had actually started off by gifting him a 400-square-meter vi in the city. Lin Yi was so shocked that he simply couldn¡¯t react. Then, a mechanical voice rang out again in Lin Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°Congrattions to the host for having triplet babies. I¡¯m the system¡¯s little assistant. If the host has any questions, feel free to ask me, okay?¡± This brought Lin Yi out of his astonishment. ¡°Is it really a system?!¡± He almost thought he was dreaming just now. Now Lin Yi could confirm that he had indeed been chosen by the system. Then Lin Yi quickly asked, ¡°Little assistant, where is the city vi the system gave me?¡± ¡°To answer the host¡¯s question, the city vi gifted by the system is located in Xianggui Garden, at the center of the city. All furniture and items have been arranged for you, the host only needs to move in with his bags.¡± Lin Yi was surprised when he heard what the system assistant said. Because he had heard about the great reputation of Xianggui Garden; it was an extremely luxurious location where only the rich and prestigious lived. Lin Yi felt a bit dazed; he had not expected that in just one day, not only had he suddenly acquired a wife and children, but he also owned a cheat-system! Doesn¡¯t this mean that his future life was destined for glory? He was also happy about the right choice he had made for himself. Now that he had a ce to live, Lin Yi needed to worry about money. After all, Lin Yi was no fool; he had already thought it through when he agreed to take on the three children. After the birth of the three little ones, they would definitely need a lot of money, so it seemed he had to work hard to earn money. After some deliberation, Lin Yi felt that, although he now had the system, it was still best to find a stable job first. Because he was unclear about the functions and reliability of the system, he couldn¡¯t simply wait and eat away his savings. Han Xuewei, such a wonderful woman choosing to be with him, he must not let her suffer with him. Then Lin Yi asked the system in his heart, ¡°System assistant, how can I receive rewards from you, like money and so on?¡± Lin Yi asked directly because it was directly rted to their little family¡¯s future living conditions. ¡°The host only needs to spend money on the children and wife to be able to receive corresponding rewards. After the tasks given by the system arepleted, the host will also have the chance to win special prizes, and the system can be upgraded as well!¡± The system assistant¡¯s words excited Lin Yi immensely. Then the little assistant of the system spoke again, ¡°A reminder for the host, you will have more opportunities to trigger rewards if you treat your wife and children better.¡± Lin Yi was somewhat pleased because, as it seemed now, the conditions to trigger the system¡¯s rewards weren¡¯t too difficult. Besides, Lin Yi had already decided that he would treat his wife and children with great love and care. Even without the system, he would have done so. Doesn¡¯t this mean that Lin Yi just needed to do his own part well, and the system would take care of the rest? Then Lin Yi embraced Han Xuewei, looking affectionately at her incredibly beautiful face. ¡°` Chapter 4 - 4 Lets Get Married Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Let¡¯s Get Married ¡°Xue Mei, I never expected you¡¯ve liked me for so long, why don¡¯t we get married?¡± At this moment, Han Xuewei had already wiped the tears from her face. Upon hearing Lin Yi¡¯s words, her body trembled slightly, then she looked at Lin Yi with disbelief. She never expected Lin Yi would suddenly propose to marry her! In Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes, tears began to shimmer once again. But this time, she wasn¡¯t crying out of grievance but out of joy! Thinking that the man she had admired for the past four years in university had personally proposed marriage to her made Han Xuewei feel it was almost unreal. Although she had asionally fantasized about this, she still felt somewhat overwhelmed when it actually happened. Only now did she finally understand that in this world, the saying ¡°a child brings blessings to its mother¡± really did exist. Han Xuewei was also very clear that it was only because she was carrying three of Lin Yi¡¯s babies in her belly. If she hadn¡¯t gotten pregnant that night, she and Lin Yi would probably have be strangers by now. In fact, Han Xuewei was being a bit pessimistic with these thoughts. Because after that night, Lin Yi had never really let go of Han Xuewei. He simply thought that Han Xuewei might not want him to bother her, which is why he had been refraining from contacting her. Now that they were together, it seemed like a serendipitous encounter, but in reality, it was a match made in heaven. It took a full three minutes before Han Xuewei woke from the wave of happiness. With hesitation, she said, ¡°Lin Yi, I don¡¯t want to use the child to threaten you, nor do I want to force you to break up with your girlfriend, maybe¡­¡± Lin Yi held Han Xuewei even tighter, feeling her frail body trembling in his embrace, he said softly. ¡°You haven¡¯t forced me, and you haven¡¯t been a third party. The time you saw us arguing, I had already broken up with Li Jingwen, I¡¯m single now.¡± Lin Yi informed Han Xuewei of the true situation immediately. Because he didn¡¯t want Han Xuewei to always carry an emotional burden. Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei¡¯s face showed an expression of surprise, ¡°Are you serious??¡± ¡°Of course, Xue Mei, you wouldn¡¯t be unwilling to marry me and have children, would you? I¡¯m not nning on forcing you either,¡± Lin Yi admitted, then added with a teasing tone. At that moment, Han Xuewei gazed earnestly at Lin Yi¡¯s face. The handsome and clean features were deeply etched in her heart. Without hesitation, she nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m willing, I¡¯m willing to marry you, have children, this has been my dream throughout university!¡± Lin Yi listened to Han Xuewei¡¯s heartfelt confession, he knew well how much courage it took for a woman to say such words. So he held Han Xuewei tightly and was reluctant to let go. ¡°Xue Mei, don¡¯t worry, since I¡¯ve said I¡¯ll marry you, I¡¯ll definitely not let you and our child suffer hardships. I will work hard to make sure you both have a good life,¡± Lin Yi said. This was Lin Yi¡¯s promise, as well as his own requirement. If it had been in the past, Lin Yi might have felt immense pressure. But now with the system, Lin Yi was filled with hope for the future. ¡°Okay, I believe you!¡± Han Xuewei finally extended her arms and embraced Lin Yi in return. In Lin Yi¡¯s mind, he had already started nning their future. Originally, Lin Yi had nned to go home during the winter vacation, but now with Han Xuewei and others, he felt it was necessary to first take care of the vi in the city. After sorting out the vi, Lin Yi intended to discuss the matter of getting married with the parents of both sides. His own parents were the easier part, having no doubt that they would wholeheartedly approve of him getting married right after graduation. The main issuey with Han Xuewei¡¯s parents. Although Lin Yi was aware that an unnned pregnancy before marriage would definitely make the girl¡¯s parents feel disgraced, Lin Yi had no other choice but to bite the bullet and convince Han Xuewei¡¯s parents. After taking Han Xuewei back to school, Lin Yi also returned to his own dormitory. In his mind, he was still mulling over how to proceed in the future. He felt that, for such a big matter, it was necessary to first get in touch with his parents. So he shared his thoughts with Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei considerately stated that she would follow Lin Yi¡¯s lead in these matters. Upon seeing Han Xuewei¡¯s response, Lin Yi felt a unique sensation rise within his heart. Because his previous girlfriend, Li Jingwen, had been a feisty woman who tended to be somewhat willful. Now that he had gotten to know Han Xuewei, he realized that this was how an excellent girlfriend should be. Not only was she beautiful, but in everything she did and said, she always prioritized Lin Yi¡¯s feelings, always filling him with a sense of happiness. That evening, Lin Yi picked up an express delivery that had been rushed to him. After opening it, he discovered it was the deed to the vi in the city. Holding the deed in his hand, he still felt a sense of unreality. Not long after receiving the delivery, Lin Yi¡¯s parents had also received his message and, unable to contain their excitement, they had left home and arrived directly at Lin Yi¡¯s school with their household registration book in hand. Lin Yi first arranged for them to stay in a hotel room. Intending to return to school, he was tightly held back by his parents, who wouldn¡¯t let him go. ¡°You rascal, is that how eager you are to leave? Tell us what¡¯s going on!¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother firmly grasped the sleeve of Lin Yi¡¯s shirt, refusing to let go. His father also spoke with heartfelt concern, ¡°Yes, Yi¡¯er, you gave us no warning and suddenly told us we¡¯re going to be grandparents. Now that we¡¯re here, aren¡¯t you going to exin?¡± Lin Yi sighed. He had foreseen this scene unfolding. It appeared that if he didn¡¯t rify everything today, his parents would not allow him to leave the hotel room. ¡°You little scoundrel, didn¡¯t you just say that you had broken up with Li Jingwen? Howe you¡¯re getting back together with her, and suddenly getting married now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let that girl fool you. You¡¯ve been apart for months, it better not be someone else¡¯s child, and she¡¯sing to hoodwink you.¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother, naturally a talkative woman, was even more like a machine gun now, speaking incessantly in the face of such a major event. Lin Yi, standing beside her, felt his head growing heavy. Finally, when his mother paused to catch her breath, Lin Yi found his chance to speak. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t rush, let me exin one thing at a time, alright?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood, the one I¡¯m going to marry is not Li Jingwen.¡± With that single sentence, Lin Yi brought his parents to silence. Chapter 5 - 5 Thank You, My Dear Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Thank You, My Dear After Lin Yi finished speaking, his mother was stunned for a good ten seconds before she snapped out of her surprise. ¡°You¡¯re saying the person you¡¯re going to marry isn¡¯t Li Jingwen?¡± Lin Yi nodded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been broken up with her for several months now, so how could I possibly suddenly decide to marry her?¡± ¡°Then¡­this person¡­who you¡¯re going to marry now, who is she?¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother felt her mind couldn¡¯t quite keep up at this point. His father, at this time, said with a grave expression, ¡°Son, are you perhaps rushing into marriage because thest rtionship hurt you too much? We¡¯re not in a hurry to be grandparents; you have to think carefully about your life.¡± His father¡¯s words were sincere, attempting to awaken Lin Yi to his situation. At that moment, listening to his father¡¯s concerns, Lin Yi was at a loss for words, struggling to articte his thoughts. After all, his first time with Han Xuewei hadn¡¯t exactly been conventional. If he were to reveal the whole truth, it might make his parents ufortable. So, he stammered, ¡°Dad, Mom, this is someone I got together with after breaking up with Li Jingwen, and it just so happened that she got pregnant, and now she¡¯s already three months along.¡± ¡°Oh, and she¡¯s carrying triplets.¡± Lin Yi glossed over the details of his rtionship with Han Xuewei, trying to shift his parents¡¯ focus onto the children. Sure enough, after Lin Yi shared this news, his mother¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°What¡­ triplets!?¡± She eximed in surprise, clearly both shocked and delighted by the news. At this time, she looked at her son in disbelief. She never could have imagined that her son, who seldom took any action, would suddenly bring home three grandchildren? Lin Yi¡¯s father, usually a veryposed individual, was also taken aback when he heard this. ¡°Yi¡¯er, are you serious?¡± Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated as he looked at his parents. He could guess what was going through their minds¡ªthey were probably already calcting the cost of milk powder, diapers, and education for three children. They were surely concerned about how he would manage financially in the future. However, Lin Yi was not worried. After all, he had the system, which had already granted him a vi in the center of town worth several million. Lin Yi knew that it would be difficult to convince his parents just by talking, so he directly took out Han Xuewei¡¯s medical reports and ultrasound results. Once the parents saw the official documents from the city¡¯s maternity and child care hospital, they began to believe that Lin Yi was telling the truth. Before they could fully recover from their initial shock, Lin Yi lied to them again. He falsely imed that he had been investing in stocks since his university days and that he had earned nearly ten million from stock trading. He also told them that he had already prepared a marriage house, and everything was ready, just waiting for the approval of both parents to proceed with the wedding. After hearing all this shocking news, Lin Yi¡¯s parents were left dumbfounded. They could never have imagined why Lin Yi, usually so quiet, had suddenly pulled off so many big moves? But soon enough, the elderly couple recovered from their shock. After all, Lin Yi was already considered a not-so-modest second-generation rich kid. His father¡¯spany often boasts annual sales of over one hundred million. Even when their family had yet to face tribtions, Lin Yi¡¯s yearly expenditures were around a million. This was also why Li Jingwen, the former pursuer, had spared no effort in chasing after Lin Yi. Having seen the world, the elders quickly epted Lin Yi¡¯s exnation. ¡°Son, well done,¡± his father said with gravity, ¡°but you must not be arrogant andcent, especially when ites to stock trading. You must not be hasty for quick sess and profit!¡± Lin Yi nodded, indicating he understood the advice from his father. Subsequently, the family of three discussed some of the uing events in detail. The important matter at hand was to inform Han Xuewei¡¯s parents, so both families could start discussing the details of the wedding. Lin Yi had sent the news to Han Xuewei early on. Han Xuewei told Lin Yi that her parents were already on their way to Xiangcheng and should arrive tomorrow. Therefore, Lin Yi nned to schedule the meeting of both sets of parents for tomorrow evening. He could also take everyone to visit the city vi he had just acquired. As for tomorrow during the day, Lin Yi intended to have Han Xuewei meet his own parents first, followed by a meal. He would also take Han Xuewei to buy some maternity items, all to be ced in the vi. After all, as it was the first time both parties were meeting the parents, Lin Yi still valued etiquette highly. Although his rtionship with Han Xuewei developed abruptly, Lin Yi was willing to ord her the highest level of attention. Finally returning to the dormitory, Lin Yiy on the bed still feeling unreal. He could never have imagined that in a single day, he not only had a wife and child, but also owned a vi worth tens of millions. This kind of thing, happening to anyone, would feel like a dream, wouldn¡¯t it? Lin Yi couldn¡¯t sleep, and since it wasn¡¯t toote, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Han Xuewei. ¡°Vivi, do you want to go out for somete-night food?¡± he texted. Han Xuewei hadn¡¯t slept yet; she always kept her phone with her and had set special notifications for Lin Yi¡¯s messages. Upon seeing Lin Yi¡¯s message and the nickname he used for her, Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but blush. After all, this was, in a strict sense, her first experience with love. Plus, Lin Yi was the man she had secretly adored for more than three years in college. Thinking of this, Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but smile with happiness. So after chuckling to herself for a moment, Han Xuewei sweetly replied to the message. ¡°Darling, I¡¯d like some grilled chicken, thank you,¡± she typed. After sending the message, she quickly covered her phone, as though afraid Lin Yi could somehow see her bashfulness at that moment. Now that she and Lin Yi were discussing marriage, even though they had just gotten together, Han Xuewei was confident that in the days toe, she could make Lin Yi wholeheartedly devoted to her. It was only about fifteen minutester that Lin Yi arrived with the grilled chicken at the dorm where Han Xuewei resided. He sent Han Xuewei a message, and before long, he saw her, dressed in thick pajamas,ing down the stairs. Her pregnant belly was slightly bulging, making her look a bit clumsy and somewhat like an adorable penguin. Even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful. Chapter 6 - 6 Rewards for a Happy Baby Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Rewards for a Happy Baby Although Han Xuewei tried to cover up, her outstanding beauty was recognized in an instant. Necks stretched one after another, their gazes rolling continually over Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. ¡°Did you see it clearly? That is our goddess!¡± ¡°Who is that guy? How does he have such clout?¡± ¡°Support me, guys, my heart¡¯s fatally shattered now that the goddess has a boyfriend.¡± They were all very curious, when had the famed campus beauty of Xiangcheng University gotten a boyfriend? At this moment, someone recognized Lin Yi. ¡°I remember now, that kid seems to be called Lin Yi!¡± ¡°Everyone still remembers Li Jingwen, right? The belle of the music department, she used to be this guy¡¯s girlfriend.¡± ¡°To be honest, this kid could be considered a rich second generation too, but his family fell on hard times, and his father¡¯spany is facing bankruptcy. Li Jingwen of course wasn¡¯t willing to ¡®hang from a single tree.''¡± ¡°After dumping him, she quickly found herself another boyfriend, also from a rich second generation.¡± The people around pressed in, discussing fervently. ¡°Who would have thought this kid has some moves, just got dumped by the department belle and in a turn, hooked up with the campus goddess.¡± ¡°Not a whiff of it was in the air, yet they¡¯re already out in the open.¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s face turned a slight red, ignoring the crowd¡¯s chatter, she nervously came forward and took thete-night snack from Lin Yi¡¯s hands. Daringly rising on her tiptoes, she gave Lin Yi¡¯s cheek a quick kiss, and said with a shy courage, ¡°What others say is not important, I have set my heart on you anyway.¡± ¡°In my eyes, you are unparalleled.¡± The surrounding people suddenly widened their eyes, scarcely believing what they saw. They had thought that Lin Yi was quite the operator to have snagged the aloof campus goddess. Looking at it now, it wasn¡¯t quite like that; it should probably be the other way around. What a rare spectacle indeed! ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°As the host has made the baby in his belly feel joy, a reward of 2 million has been granted. Congrattions to the host!¡± At that moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind. Lin Yi¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, well I¡¯ll be, a singlete-night snack had earned him a 2 million reward; wasn¡¯t this way of making money a bit too easy? ¡°Ding dong!¡± Without needing to check his phone, Lin Yi knew it was the 2 million just transferred into his ount. Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, he quickly stepped forward and embraced Han Xuewei in his arms, his expression filled with tenderness. What other people say doesn¡¯t matter; the most important thing is to protect his wife and children. In the long years toe, no one would be allowed to bully his wife and child, not even a little. In an instant, a chorus of screams erupted around them. Some even eagerly took out their phones, videos being recorded, photos being taken, busy as bees. In just a few minutes, the story of the two spread across the inte. ¡°Down-and-out rich second generation wees his spring!¡± ¡°The aloof campus goddess shows tenderness too!¡± ¡°The daily happiness of the aloof campus goddess and her dorky boyfriend.¡± Post after post spread rapidly online, instantly sparking a wave of followers. Below the videos, strings of text made brilliantments. The person who¡¯s had too much lemon just can¡¯t help but make snide remarks. After Lin Yi and Han Xuewei parted ways, they each returned to their own dormitories. In Lin Yi¡¯s dorm, each of his roommates waited excitedly for his arrival. The moment he opened the door, they surrounded him, with Wang Ziyi being the first to speak. He just couldn¡¯t wait to blurt out, ¡°President Lin, I didn¡¯t see iting. You¡¯ve nabbed the campus belle so effortlessly, you sly dog.¡± ¡°Spill the beans, when did it happen? Where? What did you guys do? Did you by any chance¡­ ¡± Yang Junchen leaned in a bit closer with a mischievous tone. Lin Yi couldn¡¯t be bothered with them, and went straight for the nearest chair, plopping down with ease, leaning backfortably, and let out a deep sigh. For him, today had too many events to count; he needed to take a moment to sort things out. But how could his roommates let him off so easily? They continued to crowd around him, chattering nonstop with questions. ¡°Y¡¯all don¡¯t need to be so curious, nothing major happened between us, it¡¯s just dating.¡± Pressed by everyone¡¯s questioning, Lin Yi finally said, somewhat impatiently. The others perked up upon hearing this, the look of gossips etched onto their faces. Han Xuewei, a rare beauty, the prettiest girl at Xiangcheng University, the goddess in everyone¡¯s heart. The guys in this dorm had long since fallen for Han Xuewei, and now seeing their goddess conquered by Lin Yi, they felt quite bittersweet. ¡°Well done, you snuck in without making a sound and cut off all our chances.¡± ¡°In the game of love, I¡¯ve always considered myself quite the yer, yet I didn¡¯t even stand a chance. Han Xuewei, the aloof campus belle, and she ends up with you, kid.¡± ¡°My curiosity is killing me; what did you do, a forceful conquest?¡± Everyone was abuzz withments. However, what Lin Yi said next made all the guys unable to remain seated. ¡°My brothers, the wedding arrangements with Vivi are already on the schedule, and if nothing goes wrong, we¡¯ll be getting our license soon. Once we¡¯ve hammered out the details of the wedding, I want every single one of you as my groomsmen.¡± What? The rest of them were struck with astonishment. Wasn¡¯t this moving a bit too fast? After a while, Gao Li¡¯an, the first to regainposure, asked incredulously, ¡°For real? You¡¯re not just shooting the breeze here, are you?¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t even graduated yet. Getting married right after graduation, aren¡¯t you rushing things?¡± Lin Yi nodded earnestly and said, ¡°I¡¯d prefer to keep it low-key too, but it¡¯s just not in my power. Our parents are already on their way here.¡± ¡°If all goes well, the arrangements for the marriage should be finalized during the winter break.¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s belly had already begun to show slightly, and it wouldn¡¯t be long before hiding it would be impossible, let alone the fact that she was carrying triplets. The marriage was now the most pressing matter. Before the child was born, he had to give Han Xuewei a legitimate status; this was the responsibility he must shoulder as a man. He just didn¡¯t know what Han Xuewei was thinking. Whether she could ept getting the license first and then holding the wedding ceremony after the baby was born. He also wondered what kind of choices Han Xuewei¡¯s parents would make after finding out about the pregnancy. All of this was beyond Lin Yi¡¯s knowledge. He could only wait for the parents from both sides to meet and discuss the matter. The other roommates didn¡¯t take Lin Yi¡¯s marriage seriously, thinking he was just talking big. Each of them readily agreed to be groomsmen. Theyughed and made a racket for a while, then went back to their own tasks. They didn¡¯t take the earlier conversation to heart at all, believing Lin Yi was just crazy about getting married. Chapter 7 - 7 Ex-Girlfriend Shows Up Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Ex-Girlfriend Shows Up Before they knew it, the next day had arrived. Lin Yi arrived early at the girls¡¯ dormitory building, waiting patiently for Han Xuewei to arrive. The two had already made ns to have morning tea with Lin Yi¡¯s parents. After a phone call, he learned that Han Xuewei was still getting dressed up. It was her first time meeting the parents, so it was understandable. Just then, Lin Yi¡¯s ex-girlfriend¡ªLi Jingwen¡ªappeared at the foot of the girls¡¯ dormitory building. It didn¡¯t look like she was passing by; instead, she seemed to havee looking for Lin Yi. ¡°Lin Yi, don¡¯t think you¡¯re something special just because you¡¯vetched onto Han Xuewei. A down-and-out rich second generation, what¡¯s so great about that? I really want to see what you have to offer to be with Han Xuewei,¡± Li Jingwen said disdainfully as she quickly approached upon seeing Lin Yi, her nose turned up in the air. Lin Yi sneered internally and repliedposedly, ¡°A down-and-out rich second generation? Who told you that my dad was going bankrupt?¡± ¡°Lin Yi!¡± At that moment, they heard Han Xuewei¡¯s voice from behind them. Lin Yi turned around, quickly walked up to Han Xuewei, and reached out his hand to her. With a shy smile, Han Xuewei ced her small hand into Lin Yi¡¯s. Upon seeing Li Jingwen, she stepped forward with a smile and extended her right hand, saying politely, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Han Xuewei, Lin Yi¡¯s girlfriend.¡± Li Jingwen snorted coldly, her expression souring as she red at Han Xuewei and said impatiently, ¡°Hmph! I really want to see how far you two can go!¡± After speaking, she briskly brushed off Han Xuewei¡¯s hand and stormed off. The onlookers began to murmur amongst themselves. They unanimously agreed that Li Jingwen was being unreasonable. She and Lin Yi had already broken up, and now she wasing back to get angrily involved, which waspletely unjustifiable. The rtionship between Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, after one night, had be public knowledge. With one being the beauty of the department and the other the belle of the campus, anyone with a little gossiping tendency couldn¡¯t help butment. ¡°Xue Mei, you must believe me, Li Jingwen is my ex-girlfriend, but I¡¯m clear of any wrongdoings with her, nothing ever happened between us.¡± Lin Yi quickly exined to Han Xuewei. As for a woman like Li Jingwen, Lin Yi felt no nostalgia. She jumped into someone else¡¯s arms and left the scene the second they broke up. Such a woman, Lin Yi didn¡¯t care for. Han Xuewei nodded, revealing a sweet smile, ¡°I know, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t care about your past, only about your future.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s hurry, we shouldn¡¯t keep uncle and auntie waiting; that would be really impolite.¡± Witnessing the lovely charm of Han Xuewei, Lin Yi¡¯s heart softened naturally, and he took her small hand, a trembling sensation passing through his heart. Soon, the two arrived at the hotel where Lin Yi¡¯s parents were waiting. As for those discussions in the background, they werepletely ignored by the couple, believing in walking their own path and letting others say what they will. Lin Yi¡¯s parents had some anxiety in their hearts, fearing that the two of them were rushing into marriage because of an unexpected pregnancy, which could make the marriage short-lived. That would be a considerable loss for both the young man and the woman. When the two appeared hand in hand in front of Lin Yi¡¯s parents, the elders exchanged a nce, understanding one another, and their worries subsided. As long as it wasn¡¯t a moment of impulse, emotional issues could be slowly nurtured. Han Xuewei subtly let go of Lin Yi¡¯s hand upon meeting his parents and put on a sweet smile, politely saying, ¡°Hello Uncle and Auntie, sorry to have kept you waiting!¡± Lin¡¯s father¡¯s tense nerves instantly rxed, feeling overwhelmingly affectionate and immediately started to fuss over Han Xuewei. Seeing Han Xuewei¡¯s well-behaved demeanor, Lin¡¯s mother felt extremely joyous. Without consideration for anything else, she quickly stepped forward, took Han Xuewei¡¯s hands, and said with delight, ¡°So you are Xue Mei! Such a good child!¡± Lin¡¯s mother and Han Xuewei hit it off right away, and in no time at all, they foundmon ground, chatting away happily. The father and son beside them, of course, were pleased to see this. The four of them sat together, eating breakfast and chatting about everyday family matters. Through their conversation, they each learned a lot about the others. Han Xuewei¡¯s family was financially well-off; her mother was a civil servant, and her father owned his ownpany. Her family¡¯s conditions were excellent, and she had received a good education from a young age. Lin Yi¡¯s parents became even more satisfied with Han Xuewei. As for the marriage arrangements, they would still need to wait for Han Xuewei¡¯s parents to arrive before they could discuss the specifics. After breakfast, just as Han Xuewei was about to put down her bowl, her parents called. ¡°Vivi, where are you now? At school or out somewhere? Immediately send us your location, we¡¯ve already arrived at Xiangcheng,¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s mother said with an urgent tone. ¡°Mom, how did you get here so fast? I¡¯m not at school, I¡¯m having breakfast with Lin Yi¡¯s mom and dad. Where are you right now?¡± Han Xuewei was quite surprised, not expecting her parents to arrive so promptly. Her family lived in the county town, which would typically require three to four hours to reach Xiangcheng. They had searched yesterday, but the high-speed train tickets were long sold out, and they had nned oning by bus. ¡°Cut the chit-chat. We¡¯ve just gotten off the highway. Quickly send the location, and we¡¯lle directly to you,¡± came the voice of Han Xuewei¡¯s mother again. Her mother¡¯s voice once again came through the phone. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sending the location right now. We¡¯ll wait for you here. I just didn¡¯t expect you to arrive so early; I thought it would be in the afternoon, but you¡¯re already here just after 11 o¡¯clock,¡± Han Xuewei said with a smile on her face, a bit of nervousness in her heart as she worked on her phone. ¡°My child, after hearing about your situation, how could your father and I just sit around? So, we got up early. Unable to wait for the bus, we simply took a fast car here,¡± her mother exined. ¡°We¡¯ve received the location. Don¡¯t move from there, just wait for us,¡± Han¡¯s mother said before quickly hanging up. Clutching her phone, Han Xuewei felt extremely nervous. She looked at Lin Yi and briefly exined the situation regarding her parents¡¯ arrival. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi¡¯s parents were grinning from ear to ear. They called the waiter over and decided to stay in their current private dining room to host a banquet in honor of Han Xuewei¡¯s parents. It wasn¡¯t long before Han Xuewei¡¯s parents arrived. Both families were exceedingly polite, exchanging warm greetings, and taking their seats with humility. ¡°Inws, you¡¯vee from so far; it must have been tiring, and we should have been the ones visiting you. Have you had breakfast yet? Shall we order some food?¡± Lin¡¯s mother asked warmly and generously. The leftovers from their earlier meal had been quickly cleared away by the staff. It would have been incredibly rude to greet the inws with remnants of a meal still on the table. The attentive waiter, upon hearing Lin¡¯s mother¡¯s words, promptly ced the menu in front of Han¡¯s mother and then stood quietly to the side, waiting. Han¡¯s mother, not standing on ceremony, nced at the menu and said directly, ¡°Let¡¯s have these few signature dishes. Anything else you¡¯d like to add?¡± Chapter 8: Talking about Marriage and Matchmaking Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Talking about Marriage and Matchmaking Lin Yi¡¯s mother said with a cheerful smile, ¡°Please enjoy your meal at your leisure, Mr. Lin and Ms. Han Xue. We just finished breakfast with Vivi, so just a few signature dishes will suffice.¡± ¡°Waiter, please add a serving of vegetables.¡± Ms. Han nodded without much formality and, after exchanging pleasantries, went straight to the topic at hand¡ªwedding talks and marriage discussions. ¡°Lin Yi¡¯s mom, I really want to know what your family thinks about this matter. The kids have reached this stage, and I¡¯m curious how you n to arrange things?¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s mother was the first to speak, her gaze sweeping over Lin Yi. This young man had made a favorable initial impression: poised yet shrewd, a dependable sort of person. ¡°Ms. Han, first of all, we are very grateful that your family has raised such an exceptional daughter-inw for us. You don¡¯t need to worry at all, I really like Vivi. If they want to live by themselves after marriage, I wholeheartedly approve.¡± ¡°If they want to live with us, we wee that too. As long as Vivi is happy, we have no objections. Vivi is pregnant with triplets, and she definitely won¡¯t be able to manage on her own.¡± ¡°When the timees, we¡¯ll take care of the nanny and baby form, and we absolutely won¡¯t let Vivi be wronged.¡± ¡°Besides, our son is here, and I see him as a responsible person. I believe he will also treat Vivi well.¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother eagerly put forth her sincerity. ¡°Auntie, please rest assured that as long as I¡¯m here, I absolutely won¡¯t let Vivi suffer the slightest grievance,¡± Lin Yi promised as he stood up. They had reached the stage of discussing marriage, so they were practically family. His wife and children would, of course, need his protection. Furthermore, his wife was famously the school beauty, talented and beautiful, gentle and caring towards him¡ªa rare find. If he didn¡¯t treat her well, who else would he treat well? Han Xuewei¡¯s cheeks reddened slightly and her heart swelled with sweetness. She cast a loving nce at Lin Yi. Ms. Han observed all this and let out a small sigh of relief in her heart. After a nce at Lin Yi and his parents, her worried mind was finally at ease. Still, there were questions in her mind that needed to be asked. She inquired, ¡°What about their marriage home?¡± Lin Yi smiled confidently and said, ¡°Auntie, I have already purchased the marriage home. It¡¯s in the central Xiangcheng City, in Fragrant Osmanthus Gardens, about 400 square meters. Even if our parents move in, there should be enough space.¡± ¡°If Vivi doesn¡¯t like it and wants to buy a new one, that¡¯s also an option.¡± ¡°Our family has a car, and when we get married, we¡¯ll buy a new one.¡± Upon hearing this, Ms. Han was pleased. The young man¡¯s family was reliable, with both a car and a home, and their financial strength was quite good. Most importantly, the inws seemed easy to get along with. As long as they had the approval of her parents-inw and found a husband who would dote on her daughter, her daughter¡¯s life would be settled and stable. Ms. and Mr. Han exchanged a look, both very satisfied with the marriage arrangement. As long as their daughter was happy, everything else was negotiable. The concern that had hung over them all night finally found resolution. They didn¡¯t seek wealth from the other family; as long as the husband¡¯s family was understanding, respected, and cherished their daughter, that was all they could ask for. The parents of both families met without many differences, quickly reaching a consensus. The young couple was filled with sweetness, which also reassured both sets of parents. The house that Lin Yi imed to have already bought was even unknown to his parents. After discussing it, they decided to go have a look to avoid any confusion when the timees to visit. After lunch, the six family members took a seven-seater car straight to Fragrant Osmanthus Gardens in the city center. Upon arriving at the destination, Lin Yi quickly jumped out of the car, opened Han Xuewei¡¯s door, and carefully helped her down, constantly reminding her to be careful of this and that. He was simply the epitome of a good husband. Han Xuewei¡¯s pretty face blushed as she felt the warmth from his palm, sweetly contented. Both sets of parents followed behind the young couple, looked at each other, and exchanged knowing smiles. As long as the young couple was living well, it brought great joy to their hearts as parents. The group of six people quickly arrived at the sales office. ¡°Good day, sir. Are you here to view properties? What size are you interested in?¡± The sales assistant approached them eagerly upon their arrival, professionally making her inquiry. Lin Yi gave her a smile and calmly pulled out the property deed, saying, ¡°Hello, could you find me the keys for this building? We¡¯d like to take a look in person.¡± The moment the sales assistant saw the property deed, she was shocked and quickly called the manager over without dy. Once the manager took a nce at the property deed, his face lit up with a smile, and he loudly said, ¡°Number 9, Xiang Gui Garden, this gentleman must be Mr. Lin! We received a notification from the higher-ups yesterday and have been waiting for a while.¡± ¡°I have the keys right here. Let¡¯s go!¡± The manager had been notified the previous night that a Mr. Lin woulde to view the vi today, and he had been instructed repeatedly to provide excellent service. The keys had even been delivered to him personally by the senior management. Seeing this, Han Xue¡¯s father and mother truly set their worries aside; now that there was a house, they knew their daughter¡¯s future would be secured. They initially nned that if needed, both families could discuss and jointly provide aplete set of housing assistance for the couple, to help them lead a more rxed life. Even if finances were tight, it would pose no issue for both families to cover a down payment. After the child¡¯s birth, with a little help here and there, the couple¡¯s life would still be manageable. Just graduated, without a house or car, and with three children to raise¡ªit wasn¡¯t a joke. They had not expected their inws to be so supportive and resolve the couple¡¯s problems so swiftly, allowing them to fully set aside their concerns. Looking at the 400 square meter detached vi, Han Xue¡¯s parents could not contain their happiness. ¡°Mr. Lin, the vi was renovated a year ago, using only world-ss materials, and it¡¯s ready to move in. Mr. Lin can rest assured that the materials used are high-end and environmentally friendly.¡± ¡°It¡¯s safe for both infants and the elderly.¡± The sales manager prattled on confidently. ¡°A vi in the center of Xiangcheng City, the price must be quite high, right?¡± Han Xue¡¯s mother asked. With a smile, the sales manager replied, ¡°Madam, you might not be aware, but house prices have skyrocketed within this year. Mr. Lin¡¯s vi was purchased a year ago.¡± ¡°Back then, the price was not even 1/20th of what it is now. The value of this house has increased dozens of times in just a short year.¡± ¡°Especially now, it¡¯s extremely popr, as all the surrounding amenities have been built up. From kindergartens to high schools, there are avable positions, making this location the top choice for many citizens.¡± Lin Yi listened, somewhat stunned. He truly didn¡¯t know when the house was bought; he only knew that he received the property deed yesterday. The renovation had beenpleted a year ago; by now, any potential harmful substances must have mostly dissipated, meaning even a pregnant woman wouldn¡¯t be greatly affected. With Han Xuewei¡¯s belly growing bigger, living in a dormitory was inconvenient, and taking care of herself was a challenge. It was best to move in earlier. Chapter 9 - 9 With the System in Hand, No Worries About Food and Clothing Chapter 9: Chapter 9 With the System in Hand, No Worries About Food and Clothing ¡°Mr. Lin, do you have any other business here? If not, I¡¯ll take my leave, so as not to affect your mood while looking at the house.¡± After the sales manager finished speaking, her gaze fell on Lin Yi, filled with inquiry. ¡°Thank you, sales manager; we¡¯ll be fine on our own, please don¡¯t mind us, and go ahead with your work!¡± Lin Yi said politely. The sales manager escorted them to the door of the house and notified the relevant staff members. She gave them a polite smile, turned around, and left to attend to her own business. ¡°Vivi, I think we should move in first! Your belly is getting bigger day by day, and I¡¯m really worried about you living in the dormitory alone.¡± ¡°If we live together, I can take care of you all the time, which is much more convenient.¡± Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei and said. Han Xuewei turned her head to look at her parents, then at Lin Yi¡¯s parents, trying to gauge their reaction. Both sets of parents, feeling her gaze, smiled knowingly but remained nomittal. Han Xuewei immediately made up her mind and spoke, ¡°You make the decision; I have no objections.¡± Han Xuewei felt very sweet inside; she always liked Lin Yi. What happened was just an ident. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi was not only mild-tempered and purposeful in his actions, but also particrly responsible. Regardless of the level of affection, he took great care of her. Lin Yi¡¯s performance made Han Xuewei very satisfied. Their parents, walking behind them, kept an eye on the two young people from the corners of their eyes. Seeing that they negotiated and agreed with each other, they werepletely relieved. As parents, they didn¡¯t ask for much; they just hoped their children could live safely and well, which was sufficient. After a while, Lin Yi¡¯s mother found the right moment to pull him aside and asked with concern, ¡°My good boy, please tell your mom honestly, where did all this moneye from?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t try to fob me off, kid. Even a year ago, the real estate prices there were definitely not cheap. I know how much money you have.¡± Lin Yi looked at his mother and smiled a little, patted her hand, and assured, ¡°Mom, you can rx; your son is not a scoundrel.¡± ¡°I can assure you, this money is absolutely clean, and there isn¡¯t the slightest illegal thing involved. Your son wouldn¡¯t touch that with even a ten-foot pole.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no point in hiding it from you now. Over the years, the pocket money you and dad have given me wasn¡¯t a small amount, I guess you also don¡¯t keep much track of it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been frugal and saved up, and I learned to invest in stocks and made quite a bit of money, only I never dared to tell you.¡± ¡°The money for this vies from there. But after buying this vi, there isn¡¯t much left. I¡¯ll need you and dad to worry and take care when I get married.¡± Upon hearing the money was legally earned, Lin Yi¡¯s mother¡¯s anxiety eased and she said, ¡°Regarding the wedding, bepletely reassured. Your father and I have been saving for it.¡± ¡°The only thing I¡¯m worried about is that you two have just graduated from college and have no jobs yet, and there are three children to support. As parents, we will definitely help whenever we can.¡± As for the future life, Lin Yi didn¡¯t worry at all. After all, his phone still had a full 2 million lying in it. Besides, with the system at hand, food and clothing are the least of his concerns. He was determined not to let his wife and children suffer even the slightest grievance. Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to his mother, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about this, your son isn¡¯t azy man. As soon as I get my diploma, I¡¯ll start working right away.¡± ¡°I will absolutely not let Vivi and the child suffer even a tiny bit. My wife is beautiful as a flower, and even if she wanted to endure hardships, I wouldn¡¯t have the heart to let her do so.¡± Han¡¯s mother, walking not far away, heard Lin Yi¡¯s words and felt very satisfied. She silently praised him, It seems this young man is quite responsible. My daughter has good judgment. Having a man like him to apany her for life is indeed a fortunate thing. But her own daughter hadn¡¯t finished university yet and her career was not settled, and now at such a young age, she was bing a mother, which filled her with regret. It seemed that she needed to take her annual leave soon ande over to help out. Han¡¯s mother explored the vi, which was quiterge. She was happy in her heart, thinking that her daughter had finally married into a good family. With a house and a child, she could still find workter on, and life would gradually get better. Now, with the help of both sets of parents, they probably wouldn¡¯t suffer too much. Thinking of this, Han¡¯s mother pulled Han Xuewei aside and said, ¡°Vivi, marriage is no trifling matter. You need to think it through carefully.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve thought it through. I like him, and spending a lifetime with him wouldn¡¯t be bad,¡± said Han Xuewei as she looked seriously at Lin Yi. Han¡¯s mother sighed softly and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve decided, I won¡¯t say more. I can see that your inws are quite easy to get along with.¡± ¡°But now, with the situation as it is, your studies can only be put aside. After all, you¡¯re carrying triplets. The further along you get, the more difficult it will be. You must be mentally prepared.¡± ¡°In terms of finances, both parents can lend a hand, but in daily life, we shouldn¡¯t get too involved. It¡¯s entirely up to you. From now on, you should prioritize your family and live your life well.¡± ¡°All those little tempers and impetuousness from before, it¡¯s time to curb them as well. Bing a mother means your life isn¡¯t just about romance and beauty, but countless heavy responsibilities.¡± Han Xuewei, moved by her mother¡¯s words, lowered her head, not wanting her mom to see her emotions, and could only reply softly, ¡°Please rest assured, Mom. I understand.¡± She looked up slightly and saw Lin Yi ahead, and breathed a sigh of relief. The man before her was the one she loved. To be able to walk through life together, and to have each other¡¯s children, was truly one of life¡¯s great blessings. It was definitely better than forming a family with someone ipatible. After the parents toured the vi, they decided on the spot that the marriage of the two kids would be handled after the birth of the child. Lin Yi¡¯s parents were very reasonable and immediately set the dowry at 288,000. They promised to prepare everything and decided not to let Han Xuewei suffer any grievances. As Han Xuewei¡¯s body became increasingly heavy ¨C though she was only three months pregnant with triplets, her belly wasparable to someone five months into a single pregnancy. That night, led by Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, both sets of parents rushed to the dormitory, hastily packed up their belongings, and moved them to the vi. A pregnant woman needed many things, and as mothers themselves, they had ample experience. They instructed Han Xuewei to rest well and hurried to the necessary ces to prepare everything needed. Before long, the living room was filled with all sorts of items. Everything prepared, the parents finally left. Chapter 10 - 10 Successful Proposal Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Sessful Proposal The parents of the Han family, citing inconvenience, declined the invitation from their future inws and the couple stayed in a hotel. They were nning to wait until the next day, after the two young people had received their marriage certificate and everything was arranged, before they could leave. Lin Yi saw the living room filled with things and his heart was brimming with endless emotion. Time really flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the big decision of his life had been made. Not only that, but he now had both a wife and a child. In an instant, he felt he had grown up, with heavy responsibilities weighing on his shoulders. Everything felt like a dream. Han Xuewei sat on the sofa resting, leaning back slightly in boundlessziness. Lin Yi looked up at Han Xuewei. He noticed that her face seemed fuller than before. In his memory, Han Xuewei always had a melon-seed face with a sharp chin. Probably because of her pregnancy, her melon-seed face had turned into an oval one, but it did not affect her beauty in the slightest. Compared to those beauties sculpted and made up through artificial means, Han Xuewei looked naturally graceful and strikingly regal. Han Xuewei had always been the most beautiful belle at Xiangcheng University. However, she was naturally cold and low-key, focusingpletely on her studies, and up to this point, had not dated anyone. With her natural beauty and slender figure, she became the goddess in the hearts of nearly all the male students at Xiangcheng University. But no one dared to get too close to her. Before he was pursued by Li Jingwen, Lin Yi had also been incredibly attracted to Han Xuewei. However, Li Jingwen had taken the initiative, wholeheartedly devoted to him, taking care of everything he needed. Lin Yi saw that she was notcking in looks and was devoted to him, so he agreed to be with her. But unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the wheel of fate had brought him and Han Xuewei together, and they had reached the point of discussing marriage. Moreover, due to a series of unforeseen events, they had ended up having three children together. Han Xuewei had always liked him and was the first to confess her feelings, which indeed surprised Lin Yi. He never thought that the unattainable flower of Xiangcheng University would end up in his own pocket. Han Xuewei snapped back to reality and noticed that Lin Yi had been staring at her, which made her a bit ufortable. Her cheeks turned slightly red as she extended her hands and touched her face, asking, ¡°Is there something dirty on my face?¡± ¡°Why are you staring at me like that?¡± Lin Yi smiled tenderly, shook his head slightly, and said, ¡°Vivi, you are truly beautiful!¡± Han Xuewei was stunned on the spot, not expecting Lin Yi to be so direct. Her face blushed crimson, like a cooked shrimp. With just a few sinct words from Lin Yi, the distance between them had closed considerably, and Han Xuewei found herself reflecting on the past, amazed at how time flies. She looked up at Lin Yi, remembered that he had an ex-girlfriend, and felt a bit worried. She asked, ¡°Lin Yi, we¡¯re getting our certificate tomorrow, have you really thought it through?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not sure about marrying me, we can postpone the date to get our certificate.¡± Lin Yi was surprised and then thought of something. He grasped Han Xuewei¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Vivi, is it because everything is moving too fast? Is it hard for you to adjust all at once?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to feel that way. I¡¯m not without feelings for you. I was moved and felt emotions for you once, probably back in our freshman year, the first time I saw you, I felt my heart race.¡± ¡°But back then, you were so aloof that I didn¡¯t dare to approach you. As for what happenedter, I assume you already know, and I do not wish to bring it up again.¡± ¡°As for getting married, I have thought it over very clearly. You, Han Xuewei, are the one I, Lin Yi, have decided to spend my life with, the one I will cherish for a lifetime.¡± After hearing this, Han Xueweipletely forgot how she was supposed to react. Lin Yi¡¯s words had taken herpletely by surprise. She had never expected the man she cherished to have feelings for her all along. Could this be what they call mutual affection? In that instant, Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes sparkled with indescribable excitement. Feeling her excitement, Lin Yi immediately stepped forward, took Han Xuewei¡¯s hands, and then knelt on one knee. With the swiftness of lightning, he quickly took out the engagement ring he had secretly purchased and proimed, ¡°Miss Han Xuewei, may I ask if you would like to marry Mr. Lin Yi?¡± ¡°From this day forward, to support and cherish each other through sickness or health, poverty or wealth, until death parts you. Do you agree?¡± Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi, deeply touched by his proposal. She fiercely wiped the tears from her eyes, covering her mouth, fearing that she might start crying out loud if she wasn¡¯t careful. When Lin Yi didn¡¯t receive an answer right away, he spoke again, ¡°Miss Han Xuewei, please marry me!¡± ¡°Yes! Yes! I will!¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s tears fell like broken strings of beads as she choked out the words. Lin Yi stood up and embraced Han Xuewei passionately, gently patting her back andforting her, ¡°Silly girl, no more tears. Trust me, I will see things through to the end.¡± At that moment, a voice from the system suddenly echoed in Lin Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions, host. As you have made amitment and provided aplete family for the baby, the system has decided to award you with a 5 million marriage fund.¡± ¡°Ding dong!¡± The notification of the 5 million reward resounded on Lin Yi¡¯s phone. What the heck! There¡¯s even a reward for a sessful proposal, and it¡¯s 5 million all at once. Now, providing for his wife and child was no longer going to be a problem. Lin Yi was overwhelmed with excitement. At the same time, he resolved that after graduation, aside from apanying his wife, he would also find a respectable job. He was determined to ask the system how to trigger special tasks. Right now, making money was the top priority. The atmosphere between them was harmonious and warm. After a little while, Lin Yi tenderly asked, ¡°Vivi, you must be hungry after half a day, right? Shall I warm up the dumplings I brought back for you?¡± ¡°Mhm, thank you!¡± Han Xuewei felt a surge of sweetness and responded in a soft voice. Knowing that Han Xuewei was pregnant, Lin Yi had looked up relevant information on his phone and knew that expectant mothers could get hungry easily and needed better nutrition than usual. So during the meal at the hotel, he had purposely packed an extra portion of dumplings to bring back for Han Xuewei¡¯s supper. The tenderness and thoughtfulness of Lin Yi were beyond what Han Xuewei had ever imagined. Watching him busying around, waves of sweetness washed over her heart. The vi they lived in was fully furnished and required no additional setup; even the smallest decoration was already ced in its appropriate spot. In the afternoon, both mothers were very diligent and had cleaned out the master bedroom. They briefly cleaned the rest of the ce, making it just about suitable for living. Tomorrow, they would hire a home cleaning service for a thorough clean-up, after which they could move in with peace of mind. Chapter 11 - 11 This is the Rhythm of a House-Husband Chapter 11: Chapter 11 This is the Rhythm of a House-Husband Just in a little while, Lin Yi came out carrying a te full of dumplings and said with a smile, ¡°Vivi, eat up, but be careful, it¡¯s hot!¡± ¡°We¡¯re still missing a few things in the kitchen, I¡¯ll need to run to the supermarket tomorrow to stock up on the necessary daily items, and then we can live happily.¡± ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions to the host forpleting the task of making a midnight snack for your wife and child, and for acquiring the system reward of a set of High-Level Cooking Skills, plus 2 million in cash.¡± What? A herd of grass-mud horses galloped through Lin Yi¡¯s heart in an instant. Following the system¡¯s beat, could it be that it wanted him to be a house-husband? A man should prioritize his career; isn¡¯t it disgraceful to spin around the kitchen all day long? He nced down slightly and saw Han Xuewei¡¯s pregnant belly, sighed in his heart, and let it go. With a pregnant woman at home, this High-Level Cooking Skill would reallye in handy. Entering the kitchen for his wife and child wasn¡¯t something to be ashamed of. Han Xuewei, looking at the dumplings in the te, felt her appetite surge and said with a sweet smile, ¡°Thank you, it¡¯s so good to have you!¡± ¡°Silly woman, thanking your own husband over and over, it¡¯s really improper.¡± Lin Yi stretched out his index finger, gently flicked her cute nose, and said very affectionately. After speaking, he looked around and felt infinitely sentimental. Then, seeing Han Xuewei¡¯s happy expression, he was pleased and said, ¡°Vivi, this will be the home for our family of five from now on.¡± ¡°After we get the certificate tomorrow, we¡¯ll be legally husband and wife, so we must manage our little home well.¡± ¡°Mhm! I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s mouth was full of dumplings as she spoke, making her words somewhat muffled, yet utterly adorable. ¡°Lin Yi, you try some too; they¡¯re delicious.¡± At that moment, she picked up a dumpling and gently offered it to Lin Yi¡¯s lips. The dumpling,ing from the beauty¡¯s hand, surely had a special vor. Lin Yi, with eyes full of smiles, didn¡¯t refuse. He took the dumpling, along with her chopsticks, into his mouth. Amorous elements undted between them. The couple took advantage of thete-night snack to unabashedly flirt with each other. After a while, they finished theirte-night meal and went upstairs to wash up and get ready to rest. Everything prepared, Lin Yi felt a bit uneasy, picked up a nket, and said, ¡°I should probably sleep in the next room!¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s face flushed red, her eyes filled with reluctance. Seeing Lin Yi about to walk out the door, she anxiously grabbed hold of him, throwing caution and her shyness to the wind. ¡°Lin Yi, stay with me tonight!¡± ¡°We¡¯re getting our certificate tomorrow, and we already have the baby; we¡¯re legitimately husband and wife, so there¡¯s no need to sleep separately.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s¡­ let¡¯s just be natural about it.¡± As she spoke, Han Xuewei¡¯s cheeks were so red they seemed to bleed. The night they conceived the child, both of them had been drinking, and it was aplete ident. This time, it would be a truly meaningful sharing of the bed. Between them, there was an addedyer of shyness and difort. ¡°Vivi, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything improper. I may be young and vigorous, but I can still distinguish right from wrong,¡± Lin Yi promised, holding Han Xuewei¡¯s hand, reassuring her repeatedly. No sooner had he finished speaking than his gaze quickly drifted away, truthfully unable to linger any longer. His heart was in turmoil. A beauty of stunning grace stood before him, visible but untouchable, which man could endure that? Had Han Xuewei not been pregnant, Lin Yi would never have endured such hardship. But given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to bear with it. It was said online that the first three months of pregnancy were the most dangerous, and sexual intercourse could lead toplications. The ufortable couple both got into bed, their bodies stiff as theyy facing away from each other. Lin Yi, struggling greatly with the restraint, bored and in agony, took out his phone, ready to y a game. Just then, a sharp cry from Han Xuewei instantly clenched his heart. ¡°Vivi, what¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling ufortable somewhere?¡± Lin Yi quickly sat up, his voice filled with concern. ¡°Lin Yi, the baby moved. I just felt it clear as day, the baby moved inside my stomach. It¡¯s an indescribably wonderful feeling.¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes sparkled, her whole being radiated with joy as she spoke excitedly. Hearing this, Lin Yi, about to be a father for the first time, marveled at the miracle of life, and reached out his hand, saying, ¡°Vivi, can I feel it too?¡± He asked tentatively, the child in Han Xuewei¡¯s belly was his own flesh and blood; his excitement was irrepressible. Seeing the look on Lin Yi¡¯s face, Han Xuewei knew how much he cared about the child in her womb. She was instantly wrapped in a sense of bliss and rolled on her side to lie t. ¡°Lin Yi, put your ear close to my stomach. Then you can hear what our child is up to. It¡¯s such a happy feeling,¡± she said sweetly. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi quicklyy down, bowed his head, and pressed his ear to Han Xuewei¡¯s belly, quieting his heart to feel carefully. ¡°Good baby, move a little, let your handsome dad see what you¡¯re up to.¡± ¡°If there is anything you like or want, you can tell your handsome dad too. As soon as daddy graduates and starts working, no matter what nice things you want, we¡¯ll buy them all!¡± Lin Yi spoke to the little treasure inside Han Xuewei¡¯s belly. After a while, no movement was felt from the baby, but instead, a voice from the system echoed in his mind. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions host forpleting the tiny task of intimate contact with the baby and receiving a 200,000 reward from the system. You have three chances every day.¡± Upon hearing the system¡¯s voice, Lin Yi was immediately thrilled. As the child¡¯s father, closeness with the baby came naturally. With three chances a day to receive a reward, and at 200,000 each time, that was a total of 600,000. It looked like there was no need to worry about money for baby form and diapers in the future. In this way, even if there were not just three children but a dozen, providing for them would not be an issue. Han Xuewei looked at his silly expression and found it endearing, and couldn¡¯t help but let out a softugh. ¡°You should brush up on your general knowledge. Our baby is only three months old and definitely can¡¯t understand yet,¡± she teased with a smile. ¡°Vivi, you¡¯re wrong there. The baby is over three months old now, and ording to the information, at this stage, they are nearly fully formed. Fingers and toes have long developed.¡± ¡°The brain is one of the first organs to develop, and it should be getting more sophisticated by the day. Understanding their handsome dad¡¯s words is definitely not a problem. Don¡¯t move; let me talk to them a bit. It will be like prenatal education,¡± Lin Yi said earnestly. Han Xuewei was sessfully convinced and grabbed a pillow to prop behind her back, revealing her belly to continue letting Lin Yimunicate with the baby. The rtionship between them had grown much closer because of the little one in her stomach, turning the initial stiffness and embarrassment into nothingness. Both their faces were brimming with smiles of happiness as they continually fantasized about their soon-to-be boisterous family of five. Chapter 12 - 12 Lawful Spouses Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Lawful Spouses The two of them, having sessfully diffused an awkward situation, quickly embraced one another and entered thend of dreams. The next day came in the blink of an eye. Unable to wait, both sets of parents, as soon as dawn broke, hailed a taxi directly to the vi where they lived, urging them to hurry up in hopes of being the first couple to get registered. Both sets of parents were ready with their respective household registration books, waiting for the young couple to wake up and grab their ID cards. Supported by Lin Yi, arge group made their way majestically towards the civil affairs office. The overly excited crowd, upon arrival at the doors of the civil affairs office, suddenly realized that taking photos was necessary for marriage registration. And so, the parents dragged the two youngsters, bustling off to the photo studio and exining the situation to the staff. Seated together, Weiwei leaned in slightly. With a few clicks, the photos were taken. Picking up the photos and once again supporting Han Xuewei, they returned to the civil affairs office andid the photos, household registration books, and ID cards in front of the staff. The staff member looked up, nced over the group, and without further ado, entered various details, took out a red booklet, and put it into the printer. There was a series of noises, and then the red booklet was taken out, the official stamp whipped out, and with a couple of firm thuds, it was stamped. The booklets were handed over to them. From that moment on, these two youngsters were dered a legally married couple. Han Xuewei turned to look at Lin Yi, a sense of indescribable happiness spreading through her heart. Lin Yi stepped forward and took Han Xuewei¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Vivi, we¡¯re husband and wife from now on, please take good care of me.¡± His words made both sets of parentsugh. A party of six once again dashed to the relevant stores to procure everything the home wascking, cleaning out the inventory in one fell swoop. Inevitably, they carried bagsrge and small back to the house. Before they left, they contacted a domestic servicepany first, wishing to have thepany take advantage of the empty house to thoroughly clean it. At the same time, they instructed to avoid using too much disinfectant, to prevent any harm to the expectant mother. The Lin Family parents were even more thoughtful, moving their own nanny straight over to look after the young couple¡¯s daily meals and living needs. By the time they returned, the house had been scrubbed spotless; it was so clean and bright that it brought an instinctive sense of joy to everyone¡¯s hearts. Han Xuewei¡¯s mother, seeing all the arrangements made by the Lin Family, was extraordinarily pleased. She was moved beyond words, feeling that her daughter had indeed married into a good family. The marriage certificate had been obtained; they were officially a married couple, and there was nothing else to worry about. As for the wedding celebration, there was no rush; it could wait until after the child was born. At the moment, Han Xuewei was pregnant with arge belly, carrying triplets, and it was indeed inappropriate for her to exert herself, afraid that any bump or mishap would not be worth it in the end. The family sat together on the couch, basking in an atmosphere of warm conviviality. ¡°Vivi, this is the maid from our home, one of our own and very considerate. Now I¡¯ve brought her here to help you out. If you need anything, just tell her directly, don¡¯t be shy,¡± Aunt Wang said. ¡°Even though I wish I could, I simply can¡¯te over to take care of you because I¡¯m too tied up with work at home. I can only shamelessly apologize to you,¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother said, her face full of guilt, holding onto Han Xuewei¡¯s hand tightly, not wanting to let go. The Lin Family¡¯s original maid heard her introduction and looked towards Han Xuewei, smiling affectionately. Han Xuewei looked back at Lin Yi¡¯s mother and replied with a gentle smile, ¡°Thank you for the concern, Auntie. It¡¯s wonderful to have you here.¡± ¡°Silly child, you¡¯ve been pregnant for several months now, and still calling me ¡®Auntie?¡¯ You¡¯re going to make me sad.¡± Lin¡¯s mother struck a gesture as if clutching her heart like Xi Shi and deliberately said. Han Xuewei came back to her senses, her pretty face slightly red, and she whispered, ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Good child!¡± Lin¡¯s father was immediately so happy he couldn¡¯t close his mouth. The Lin Family of three looked at Han Xuewei with eyes full of intense affection and doting. Han Xuewei¡¯s mother, seeing her daughter being cherished both by the inws and son-inw, finally felt relieved and was also happy for her daughter. ¡°Vivi, I promise you, as soon as I have time, I wille over right away. If there is anything I can help with, I will certainly not dy.¡± ¡°At the same time, you also don¡¯t need to worry. As someone who¡¯s been through it, I definitely won¡¯t disturb the two of you. Young people, after all, need to build their rtionship, and that¡¯s a good thing,¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother said cheerfully. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, Lin Yi. Vivi has already started calling us as she should, and that calling fee can¡¯t just be dismissed. It¡¯s a matter of etiquette. Don¡¯t forget to send me Vivi¡¯s ount detailster, I¡¯ll transfer it as soon as I get back,¡± she continued. ¡°Vivi, the calling fee is a symbol of etiquette, you can¡¯t refuse it,¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother remembered the calling fee matter and said once more. Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t decide at all at the moment and could only look at her own mother with eyes seeking help. Mrs. Han nodded slightly, and then Han Xuewei continued, ¡°Dad, Mom, thank you!¡± ¡°Vivi, you can rest assured and give birth to the child. We¡¯re not that kind of irresponsible family. When ites to the wedding, whether it¡¯s the dowry or the three or five pieces of gold jewelry, we won¡¯t shortchange you,¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother said with a smile. ¡°On the contrary, you are our family¡¯s greatest hero, and your father and I truly adore you from the bottom of our hearts.¡± Seeing her inws being so generous, Han Xuewei¡¯s mother didn¡¯t want to fall behind and took over the conversation, ¡°About the car that we¡¯ve promised for the dowry, do you think we should buy it now or wait until the wedding?¡± Lin Yi promptly said, ¡°Since it¡¯s part of the dowry, then let¡¯s buy it when the wedding takes ce. Right now, the car isn¡¯t the most important thing.¡± ¡°What should be prioritized is Vivi¡¯s health. As long as she is well, everything else will surelyeter,¡± he added. Han Xuewei¡¯s parents heard this and were even more satisfied in their hearts, praising that their daughter hadn¡¯t chosen the wrong person. ¡°Aunt Wang, we¡¯ll leave this little household in your hands! We hope you can take good care of them. Although these two young ones are already parents, they haven¡¯t yet graduated from university and there¡¯s a lot they don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Or rather, they understand but don¡¯t really grasp it fully. When they are confused, we hope you can remind them and take good care of them,¡± Lin Yi¡¯s mother turned her gaze to the housekeeper and instructed. ¡°Sister Li, don¡¯t worry, I will do my utmost to take care of these two children. Seeing them well also makes me happy,¡± the housekeeper Aunt Wang said. Housekeeper Aunt Wang and Lin Yi¡¯s mother were from the same family and had a good rtionship. As Lin Yi¡¯s mother was slightly older than Aunt Wang, she was addressed as Sister. Lin Yi¡¯s mother¡¯s real name was Wang Li. Aunt Wang also had her own family; her husband managed a breeding business at home, and she worked at the Lin Family¡¯s house. Her children were also quite outstanding. The elder son had graduated from university and had just started working. The younger daughter was attending university in another city and needed a monthly allowance. Therefore, Aunt Wang had to continue working. As employers like the Lin Family were always considerate to her, she felt the warmth and naturally wanted to stay. Chapter 13 - 13 We Must Save on the Bride Price Chapter 13: Chapter 13 We Must Save on the Bride Price A group feasted beautifully on a family dinner at the vi before they each went their separate ways. With Aunt Wang in charge, who constantly reminded the two youngsters at home, Lin Yi¡¯s mother felt very reassured. Aunt Wang had been with their family for many years, and her temperament and working style were all too familiar. Thinking of the triplets in Han Xuewei¡¯s womb, a twinge of heartache rose in Lin¡¯s mother¡¯s heart. Other women suffered immensely just bearing a single child. But her daughter-inw was having three at once, the hardship she faced was undoubtedly multiple times that of others. Therefore, Lin Yi¡¯s mother decided toe over and help out at the young couple¡¯s home during her spare time, determined to take good care of their living situation. Now that their factory¡¯s operations had scaled down, it was no longer as busy as before, and Lin Yi¡¯s father could basically handle it on his own. Suddenly, Lin¡¯s mother turned to Lin¡¯s father, who was driving, and said, ¡°After we get back, let¡¯s carefully calcte the money we have on hand. In theing days, we must save wherever we can, and make sure to set the dowry money aside.¡± ¡°The inws are understanding and allowed the two kids to register their marriage smoothly, even offering a car as part of the dowry. We must not be ungrateful.¡± ¡°In my opinion, we should give as much as we can for the dowry money. After all, he¡¯s our only child, and in the end, isn¡¯t it all for them?¡± ¡°Besides, giving the inws face, giving our daughter-inw pride, can bring our families closer and foster harmony, giving us two old folks something to rely on. Why not do it?¡± ¡°Although the inws don¡¯t care and say that the dowry is just for show and any amount is fine, we can¡¯t be too excessive. If it reallyes down to it, let¡¯s use the emergency fund!¡± Lin¡¯s father gripped the steering wheel and agreed with a serious nod, saying, ¡°It seems that this time the emergency fund will have to be spent on our son and daughter-inw.¡± ¡°The original funds set aside for our son¡¯s marriage werepletely used up during thepany crisis. Fortunately, the emergency fund is substantial enough to cover the young couple¡¯s wedding.¡± ¡°As for money, if it¡¯s spent, we can earn it back. As long as everyone is happy and satisfied withpleting this matter, it¡¯s a cause for great celebration.¡± ¡°To be honest, when I first received the call from our son, I was a bit slow to react. We are so young and suddenly became grandparents; I bet not many people would believe it.¡± ¡°Vivi is a good girl, not only pretty and academically sessful but also has blessed us with triplets, increasing our family by three grandchildren. Compared to other families, who can boast such fortune?¡± Lin¡¯s father¡¯s face was brimming with excitement, making him look somewhat endearing. At first, he waspletely baffled and couldn¡¯t ept it, repeatedly muttering about being too young to be grandparents. But just the thought of having two or three little ones toddling behind him or sitting on hisp, pulling at his beard with their delicate hands and sweetly calling him grandpa, filled him with a wonderful feeling. Seeing Lin¡¯s father agree to the idea of using the emergency fund eased Lin Yi¡¯s mother¡¯s mind, which had been up in the air. The couple had agreed that this emergency fund should not be touched unless absolutely necessary. Following the crisis, their finances had taken a severe hit, leaving them with a preliminary estimate of about two million. But Han Xuewei was carrying triplets. Just the expenses for baby form and diapers alone would be a considerable sum. Their son and daughter-inw, not yet having graduated from university and still in internships, couldn¡¯t support themselves, let alone raise children. This heavy burden could only fall on the shoulders of the elderly couple. For a moment, the old couple felt like money was flowing away like water, gushing forward. Now, with the economy being tough, they could only just get by. Fortunately, their son Lin Yi waspetent right from the start and knew how to save money. He saved his pocket money, had a sharp mind, and was cut out for business. He went straight into investment, and a year ago, he settled the matter of his marital home. That greatly reduced their burden. Otherwise, with just the money they had on hand, it would have been difficult to even buy an apartment in the city center, let alone a vi. Lin Yi¡¯s mother, while speaking, took out her phone, found WeChat, searched for Han Xuewei among new friends, quickly added her, and, after waiting for the approval, she hurriedly sent some words expressing her concern. Immediately after, she transferred 300,000 yuan for the bride price and instructed Han Xuewei to rest, not to do any chores, to take care of herself, to exercise appropriately, and so on. Han Xuewei received the message and immediately sent back a smiley face, followed by a big bouquet of fresh flowers, sweetly saying, ¡°Thank you, mom, I promise to give you several healthy grandsons.¡± At that time, Aunt Wang invited Lin Yi to the living room on the first floor and said seriously, ¡°Lin Yi, tell Auntie honestly, are you and Vivi still sleeping together?¡± Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, his ears turned slightly red, and he arched an eyebrow in response, ¡°Yes, Auntie, Vivi and I are husband and wife, we sleep in the same bed, is there something wrong with that?¡± Aunt Wang looked up at the second floor, didn¡¯t hear Han Xuewei¡¯s voice, and then lowered her voice to say, ¡°Lin Yi, are you being foolish?¡± ¡°Vivi is only just over three months pregnant, if you two sleep together and you can¡¯t hold back, saying something that could hurt the children, that would be terrible.¡± ¡°Eventer on, when Vivi is further along, you still can¡¯t do that sort of thing. After all, she is carrying triplets, which is different from other pregnant women.¡± ¡°Lin Yi, you¡¯re a man, there are some things you should not indulge in, and you must take care of your wife and children.¡± Aunt Wang was very close to Lin Yi, and emotionally, she could be considered half a mother to Lin Yi. She came to the Lin Family when Lin Yi was not even five years old. Lin Yi¡¯s parents were busy with their business every day, and Lin Yi was not raised alongside Wang Yi. That¡¯s why she didn¡¯t hesitate to voice her concerns without any reservations. ¡°Auntie, rest assured.¡± ¡°I know all this. Do you think the Lin Yi you raised would be so irresponsible? If a man doesn¡¯t even care for his wife and children, what kind of man would that be?¡± Lin Yi came to his senses, understood what Aunt Wang meant, and quickly responded with a smile. Aunt Wang smiled happily and said, ¡°It makes me happy to hear you think this way. I know your character, and I trust you won¡¯t do anything reckless.¡± ¡°Besides, both of you are university graduates with ess to a wide range of information. You know well what should and shouldn¡¯t be done, so I won¡¯t say more.¡± ¡°I need to go down to the storeroom and organize the stuff we bought today so it¡¯s convenient when we need it.¡± ¡°Almost forgot, can you ask Vivi for me what she¡¯d like for supper tonight? So I can prepare.¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately perked up and said, ¡°Auntie, you¡¯ve been busy all day, take some rest. I can handle the supper.¡± Chapter 14: Unceasing System Rewards Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Unceasing System Rewards Making ate-night snack, Lin Yi was more than happy. He had already acquired high-level cooking skills, and the food he made, he was certain his wife and child would definitely love. Also, he could get rewards from the system, so why not? Aunt Wang felt veryforted, yawned, and said, ¡°Alright then, you guys take care of the night snack yourselves, I¡¯m going to check the storeroom and then go straight to bed.¡± Lin Yi agreed and walked towards the second floor, their child was already more than three months old, and it was very nice to start bonding with them early. In the bedroom, Han Xuewei was leaning against the headboard, holding her phone, and continuously checking it. Lin Yi walked in, went straight to her side, and said tenderly, ¡°Wife, what are you ying with? You¡¯re so focused.¡± The word ¡°wife,¡± filled with endless indulgence and magic power, made Han Xuewei unable to resist the desire to immerse herself in that tenderness and reliance. Although Lin Yi said it very smoothly, when Han Xuewei heard it, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a wave of sweetness in her heart. So she looked up slightly, and said tenderly, ¡°My parents are going back tomorrow, I¡¯m booking high-speed train tickets for them.¡± ¡°They could¡¯ve stayed a few more days with you, no need to rush, they coulde stay at our house tomorrow,¡± said Lin Yi. ¡°No need, there are a bunch of things to do at home. Moreover, my mom still has to work, she can¡¯t take too many days off, and she still needs to save some leave for her annual vacation,¡± said Han Xuewei, shaking her head. ¡°Alright then, what time is their train tomorrow? Let¡¯s go together to see them off,¡± Lin Yi said. Han Xuewei smiled sweetly and said, ¡°Okay! We can prepare some local specialties for them to take back, I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll like that.¡± ¡°Ah, I almost forgot about that. Mom just transferred the ¡®change of tongue¡¯ fee over, 300,000, that¡¯s really too much. I haven¡¯t epted it yet, I want to follow your opinion.¡± ¡°This is the proper courtesy, go ahead and ept it, why wouldn¡¯t you? If you don¡¯t, they¡¯ll really be hurt, feeling like you don¡¯t acknowledge them,¡± Lin Yi said with a smile. Han Xuewei¡¯s face turned slightly red, and she said bashfully, ¡°It really is too much, Mom even told me to send over my bank ount number, forrge amounts in the future, to go directly through bank transactions, saying it would be more secure that way.¡± ¡°They¡¯ve transferred so much money to me right after we got our marriage certificate, I¡­ ¡± ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? If Mom tells you to take it, just take it. My parents are so happy about having a grandson, they can¡¯t get enough of it. They said not to let you and the child suffer even a smidgen of hardship.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the hero in our family, from now on I won¡¯t dare to mess with you, knowing my parents¡¯ style, they¡¯re definitely the type to prefer the daughter-inw over the son,¡± Lin Yi joked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about those things, just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. Come on, let me listen to the baby¡¯s movements today, surely feeling the emotions will help the baby grow,¡± Lin Yi said. After speaking, Lin Yiy down, his ear against Han Xuewei¡¯s stomach, and listened intently. ¡°Daddy¡¯s good babies, are you happy in mommy¡¯s tummy? When can youe out and meet your handsome dad?¡± ¡°You must be good, okay? Mommy is already working so hard; don¡¯t you fuss.¡± Lin Yiy on Han Xuewei¡¯s belly, speaking with a face full of indulgence. Han Xuewei leaned against the pillow, propping up her head with her elbows, and seeing Lin Yi loving the children so much made her feel incredibly sweet. Her tender gaze fell on him. The man in front of her, she had liked him for many years, and now, not only could they be together and have a marriage certificate, they also had a baby on the way. At this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world. ¡°Ding dong!¡± The sound of Lin Yi¡¯s iing payment notification rang out. No need to look, Lin Yi knew it was the reward he had received for bonding with the baby just now. At this moment, Lin Yi saw a clear ount in his mind: three chances a day, ten thousand yuan as a reward for each time, which is a direct 9 million yuan a month. Providing for the family was no problem at all. A regr worker definitely couldn¡¯t make that much money in a year! Even for those who ran their ownpanies, there might be months when their businesses didn¡¯t do so well and they couldn¡¯t earn that much. Suddenly, a thought shed through his mind: virtualpanies and investments are really too illusory, and someday someone would see through it all. If worst came to worst, should he really start his ownpany to legitimize all these sources of ie? Even a family of five¡¯s needs could be met with dignity. However, there was no rush to start apany, regardless, it was better to wait until the child was born. At present, the most important thing was to take good care of his wife and child. As long as he had this omnipotent system at hand, providing for his family was no problem at all. The problem he was now considering was how to be a good husband and a good father, to care for his wife and child with meticulous attention, not allowing them to suffer the slightest grievance. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Just now the system detected the host¡¯s heart harbors the ambition to be a good father and a good husband, and the system has decided to reward the host with 2 million yuan in cash.¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Yi¡¯s mind. What? Lin Yi¡¯s eyes widened in surprise; he hadn¡¯t expected to receive a reward just for having that kind of thought. Good Lord, is money just a number to the system? ¡°The host has guessed right, to the system, money is just a number, meaningless.¡± The system¡¯s responding voice sounded again. Uh! This system is awesome, it can even answer the host¡¯s questions. Lin Yi stopped interacting with the system and concentrated on speaking,municating with the baby in Han Xuewei¡¯s belly, simply taking a book and reading it with cadence and emotion. At that moment, movement came from Han Xuewei¡¯s belly, as if the baby had turned over, brushing past Lin Yi¡¯s face, the sensation was very clear. Han Xuewei was also overflowing with excitement; she distinctly felt it. One of the babies in her belly, either turned over or gave a little kick, was quite noticeable. The young couple looked at each other excitedly, as if by prior agreement. ¡°Vivi, I felt the baby.¡± ¡°Yes, it seems like one of the babies turned over.¡± The couple wished they coulde together immediately, to discuss the wonder of this life. ¡°Vivi, we must buy a fetal heartbeat monitor so we can clearly hear the heartbeat of the babies.¡± ¡°At three months, they can turn over and make their parents feel the movement. I think their vitality must be very strong. Just thinking about their thumping heartbeats makes me uncontrobly excited.¡± Lin Yi said with a glowing expression. This magical feeling was something he was experiencing for the first time, and he felt that he had gotten one step closer to the baby. Chapter 15 - 15 Money is Just a Number Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Money is Just a Number ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions to the host and baby for the zero-distance contact, the system rewards you with a cash prize of 100,000 yuan.¡± At this moment, the system¡¯s voice came over again. While happy, Lin Yi made up his mind that after seeing off his inws tomorrow, he must go to the baby store and bring back all the necessary baby products. He washed them clean for future use to avoid anyst-minute rush. He looked up at Han Xuewei and said seriously, ¡°Vivi, I think we need to prepare some baby products, like bottles and little clothes.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve checked, and we must buy these things in advance, wash them, and get them ready. It¡¯ll make things much more convenientter on.¡± ¡°What time is the ticket you booked for Mom and Dad tomorrow?¡± With her fingers gracefully dancing on the phone screen, Han Xuewei said, ¡°About 11 o¡¯clock, we can totally sleep in a bit, no need to wake up early.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it perfect? After we see them off, we can join them for breakfast and then take them to the high-speed rail station¡ªnot toote at all.¡± Lin Yi turned tomorrow¡¯s schedule over in his mind and immediately made a n: after having breakfast with his inws, he would take them to the high-speed rail station. On the way back, head straight to the baby store and bag everything needed. The previous day, with both sets of parents around, everyone had forgotten about this, and everyday spices and things for Vivi were priority. Without realizing it, they could have neglected the babies. Having nned everything, Lin Yi said to Han Xuewei, ¡°Wife, after we drop off your parents, let¡¯s go buy the stuff straight away. After shopping, we can have lunch out, and then you¡¯ll have plenty of time to rest in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Of course, if you feel tired, staying home to rest is also fine. I can handle these tasks on my own.¡± Han Xuewei quickly agreed with a nod, the man she had adored for years, though they were now married, had not yet reached the depth of emotion she yearned for. How could she not seize such an opportunity to spend quality time together? ¡°No worries, you don¡¯t have to be anxious. It¡¯s only been just over three months, and my belly isn¡¯t fully showing yet. Besides, selecting the children¡¯s items, it¡¯s better if I do it myself.¡± Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi tenderly and said. ¡°Alright then!¡± ¡°The two of us, along with our three little treasures, will go shopping and bring back everything they need.¡± Lin Yi said excitedly while caressing Han Xuewei¡¯s belly. After speaking, he made yful faces at Han Xuewei, indulgent and gentle. Han Xuewei blushed, her heart filled with sweetness, like a little fairy who had just fallen in love. She thought Lin Yi¡¯s smile was warm and sunny, making it irresistible to get lost in it. For a moment, Han Xuewei was spellbound,pletely forgetting to respond, gazing at Lin Yi with endless love. In Lin Yi¡¯s eyes, however, it was a boundless temptation. Lin Yi¡¯s lips curved into an even brighter smile, and he said in a raspy voice, ¡°Wife, snap out of it, don¡¯t y with fire! I really can¡¯t resist this kind of extreme temptation.¡± Before Han Xuewei could react, he pounced, avoiding her belly and pressing down on her tightly, breathing heavily. Husband and wife, eyes locked. The ambiance of intimacy swiftly spread between them. A tendril of affection, unnoticed at first, enshrouded them, and an infinite sweetness surged in their hearts. The temperature around them gradually rose, showing signs of spiraling out of control. At that moment, Han Xuewei snapped back to reality and quickly stretched out her hands to protect her belly, trying to break free. Lin Yi felt Han Xuewei¡¯s struggle, knew the reason, and couldn¡¯t help but smile helplessly, gently stroking her hair as he looked into her eyes and said, ¡°Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Is your husband really that much of a scoundrel?¡± After he finished, his deep and pleasing voice echoed by Han Xuewei¡¯s ear. Suddenly, Han Xuewei stopped struggling, and with a swift move, she tightly hugged Lin Yi¡¯s neck, gazing at him with deep affection. Just as Lin Yi was sinking deeper, she quickly pecked Lin Yi¡¯s face with the speed of lightning. Boom! ¡°Silly woman, you started this fire; you¡¯re responsible for putting it out.¡± The strings in Lin Yi¡¯s mind snapped, disregarding everything else, he swiftly pulled Han Xuewei into his arms and domineeringly lowered his head, sealed her red lips without any exnation. Han Xuewei¡¯s mind was also nk, responding innocently, with an indescribable sweetness continuously rising from her heart. Lin Yi had long lost control of himself, his hands roamed ceaselessly over Han Xuewei¡¯s body, feeling the me inside growing even fiercer, wishing he could vent immediately. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions to the host for sessfully activating the special function and directly receiving a cash reward of 10 million.¡± As he was unable to extract himself, that slightly indifferent voice of the system entered his mind. Suddenly, Lin Yi shivered, came to his senses, and quickly jumped away, swiftly tidying Han Xuewei¡¯s clothes, looking intently at her as he immediately created some distance between them. ¡°Danger!¡± ¡°Wife, we can¡¯t yet, we must consider the safety of the child and your health.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, I really lost control just now.¡± The sober Lin Yi quickly turned his gaze away, apologizing. Meanwhile, he took deep breaths, telling himself to calm down, striving for the fire inside him to die down quickly. Han Xuewei¡¯s cheeks were as red as cooked shrimp. Thinking about the kiss they had just shared, her heart couldn¡¯t help but race. Lin Yi dared not look back, quickly got up, and rushed to the door, before managing to turn around and say, ¡°Let¡¯s sleep separately tonight! Sleeping together is simply too dangerous.¡± ¡°If you need anything, or if there¡¯s any problem, just call for me, I¡¯lle right over. I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll¡­ need to calm down a bit¡­¡± Seeing the retreating figure of Lin Yi, a slight smile yed on Han Xuewei¡¯s lips, her heart filled with sweetness. From the beginning, she had known that Lin Yi would never do such a thing. So there she sat on the bed, smiling foolishly to herself, reaching out to gently touch her own lips. The scene just now kept reying in her mind. She thought: This feeling is simply too wonderful. Is this what it feels like to be intimate with the person you love? The fleeing Lin Yi had just reached the doorway when Aunt Wang grabbed him, giving him quite a start. ¡°Aunt, why are you here? Didn¡¯t you say you were tired and went to rest?¡± Lin Yi asked in astonishment. Without a doubt, from the look on Aunt Wang¡¯s face, she had been eavesdropping, and she likely heard everything, which instantly made Lin Yi feel somewhat embarrassed. Chapter 16 - 16 Should Buy a Car Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Should Buy a Car Aunt Wang was far from courteous, directly reaching out to p Lin Yi on the head and starting her lecture, ¡°You little rascal, haven¡¯t I told you before?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a dangerous period right now, and you shouldn¡¯t act recklessly. It¡¯s only a matter of a few months, isn¡¯t it? Why can¡¯t you endure it? How many men have undergone this?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t listen to your aunt and continue to behave irresponsibly, you¡¯ll regret it.¡± ¡°Vivi is pregnant with triplets; we must be even more careful and not a bit negligent.¡± Lin Yi was caught betweenughter and tears, intively saying, ¡°Auntie, you are really making a mountain out of a molehill. We didn¡¯t do anything, just kissed, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°I think that shouldn¡¯t have any effect, right?¡± Aunt Wang gave a resigned smile and said, ¡°Child, don¡¯t me your aunt for being strict. All this is for your own good. If it¡¯s just a simple kiss, then there¡¯s nothing to criticize.¡± ¡°But what if during the process of kissing you can¡¯t help yourself? Being swayed by emotions and desires is only human. The difference between humans and animals is the ability to withstand our own desires.¡± ¡°Not to cause harm to others, that¡¯s what true skill is.¡± ¡°Your mother is smart to have sent me here to keep watch, otherwise who knows when disaster might strike.¡± Lin Yi was so embarrassed by the scolding that he repeatedly begged for mercy, ¡°Auntie, please spare me. You mean well, I know that. I promise I won¡¯t do that again, is holding hands okay at most?¡± Aunt Wang couldn¡¯t help but snort withughter at Lin Yi¡¯s words, not believing a single one, but there was nothing she could do as both kids were young and struggling to control themselves. It seemed she had to keep a closer eye on them in the future to prevent any irreversible issues from happening, now that would be a real regret. Aunt Wang made up her mind in her heart. ¡°Enough, as long as you are aware, you¡¯ve had a long day, go to sleep now!¡± Aunt Wang, looking at the child she had raised from young, felt a wave of pity and promptly said. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt as if he¡¯d been pardoned and immediately turned into a slippery fish, swiftly dashing into the guest room, closing the door, and with a leapnded on the bed, sprawling out in a starfish pose. His mind leaped to the special reward the system had mentioned, stirring his curiosity; up till now, he had received countless cash rewards, just not sure how to trigger this special reward. He only remembered that a simple kiss with Han Xuewei had inadvertently triggered the special reward. Could a kiss really fetch a special reward? Lin Yi was utterly baffled. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Host, please note, special tasks are randomly assigned by the system and there is no fixed pattern. When they ur, it is good if the host can seize the opportunity, there¡¯s no need to delve into it further.¡± Just then, the system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind again. Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. This lousy system really knew how to y games¡ªrandom, wasn¡¯t it all up to its whims? Definitely unreliable. However, Lin Yi vividly remembered at the same time that when the special task was triggered, they were indeed kissing, and that very moment, he received a reward of 10 million. By that logic, if they did something else? Or perhaps went a step further, could it trigger a special task, therefore getting even more rewards? Endless guesses swirled in Lin Yi¡¯s mind. It really was no use, they tried everything they could, and earning a bit more money was pretty good after all. At this thought, Lin Yi¡¯s mind suddenly filled with visions, and Han Xuewei¡¯s devilish figure lingered in his mind, an audacious n forming in his heart. The next day. The young couple got up almost at the same time, got ready, walked out the door, and took a taxi straight to Han Xuewei¡¯s parents¡¯ hotel. After having breakfast with Han Xuewei¡¯s parents, they took a taxi to the high-speed rail station, ready to see them onto the train. At that moment, Lin Yi felt an intense desire¡ªhe had to buy a car formuting. Without a car, it was extremely inconvenient, especially since Han Xuewei had a big belly and it was not convenient to take taxis, he had no choice but to apany her on foot. For a pregnant woman, it was just too hard. Aunt Wang, who shopped for groceries every day, had to take taxis everywhere, and it was very inconvenient to transport even a little extra. It seemed not only did the couple need a car formuting, but Aunt Wang, who shopped for groceries, also urgently needed one. Funds were not an issue at all, as up to now, Lin Yi¡¯s hands already held tens of millions, enough to buy any car he desired. The young couple nned to immediately go to the maternity store and purchase everything they needed after sending the parents off on the high-speed train. At the high-speed rail station, naturally, a scene of parting unfolded. Han Xuewei watched her parents gradually recede into the distance and couldn¡¯t help but feel an onset of sadness, even though the man by her side was her beloved, the bond of family was still irreceable. Han Xuewei sighed in her heart, everything had happened too quickly, as if just yesterday she was still a girl by her parents¡¯ side, and in the blink of an eye, she had to leave her parents and live her own life. ¡°Wife, don¡¯t be sad, it¡¯s not good for the baby. When we have time, we¡¯ll go and see mom and dad properly, or maybe when they have time, I¡¯ll bring them over to keep youpany,¡± Lin Yi said tenderly, holding Han Xuewei in his arms, constantlyforting her. Han Xue¡¯s mother, as she walked farther away, couldn¡¯t help but look back and see the young couple leaning on each other, feeling an endless sigh in her heart, but at the same time, she was able to let go. The girl had grown up; this step was inevitable, it just came faster than expected. Only when the backs of Han Xue¡¯s parentspletely disappeared did Han Xuewei wipe her eyes and allow Lin Yi to half-support and half-embrace her towards the temporary taxi stand. On the high-speed train. Han Xuewei¡¯s father was gloomy and sighed deeply. Han Xue¡¯s mother lifted her head to look at Han Xue¡¯s father and said, ¡°Lao Han, Vivi has found a good home, meeting such a family, we should be content. What¡¯s there to sigh about?¡± Han Xue¡¯s father sighed again and replied, ¡°I understand all that you¡¯re saying. I¡¯m happy for our daughter to have found such a person.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just, when I think about my daughter, whom I¡¯ve raised for so many years, my pearl that I held in my palm, in just a blink of an eye, she¡¯s married to someone else. It¡¯s honestly hard for me to ept this kind of drop in my heart.¡± Han Xue¡¯s mother smiled slightly andforted him, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Now that Vivi is pregnant, it¡¯s not good to fuss about the wedding dress. After the child is born, we¡¯ll still need to follow all the necessary rituals.¡± ¡°Luckily, the inws are understanding and considerate towards Vivi. We don¡¯t need to feel lost. With transportation so convenient, whenever we miss our daughter, we cane up to see her.¡± ¡°In a few months, I will have a few more grandchildren, we are going to be grandparents, we should be happy about it.¡± Han Xue¡¯s father gave Han Xue¡¯s mother a nk stare and said irritably, ¡°Enough, after all this talk, you still don¡¯t understand.¡± Chapter 17: The Inseparable Attachment of Parents Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The Inseparable Attachment of Parents Han¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes suddenly became vacant, not because she had never felt that way, but because she saw her daughter could be happy, that she had found a reliable family to marry into, and this was what finally eased her mind. Vivi was her only child, and the greatest concern of her life. Now that her daughter was getting married all of a sudden, to say her heart wasn¡¯t a bit heavy would certainly be a lie. But as a woman, Han¡¯s mother naturally knew where a woman¡¯s destinationy. No matter how much parents doted on their daughter, she couldn¡¯t stay at home for her entire life. Nowadays, there were no more stay-at-home sons-inw, and moreover, they were not easy to get along with. The parents-inw were understanding and reasonable, and the son-inw was extremely affectionate toward her daughter. Having children, they were indeed on the right track in life. As long as her daughter could lead a good life, no matter how much reluctance she felt, she could only keep it in her heart. Gradually, the tears of Han¡¯s mother uncontrobly started to spill from her eyes. Han¡¯s mother felt as if her heart was suddenly missing arge piece, hollow and unable to find a ce to lean on. ¡°Old Han, we who have raised daughters must eventually face this scene. As long as our daughter is happy, we can be at ease. Our daughter now has a home of her own, getting married and having children is a joyous asion, let¡¯s not be sad,¡± she said, lifting her arm to fiercely wipe her eyes, her voice choked with emotion. ¡°In a few years, I¡¯ll be able to retire. Then, you can close down yourpany, and we¡¯ll buy a small apartment next to our daughter¡¯s, settling down here for the long term, and we¡¯ll be able to see our daughter and grandchildren often,¡± she said. ¡°So, in these few years, we both need to earn more money to achieve this goal. Just thinking about being close to our daughter makes me feel settled,¡± she said, and as she spoke, she was the first tough, her heart filled with boundless anticipation. With a deep sigh, Han¡¯s father said, ¡°How can my pany¡¯ just be closed down like that? I still envy you government workers who can retire a few years earlier.¡± ¡°The employees in thepany have worked with me for most of their lives, relying on the business to feed their families. If we suddenly announce a closure, what will happen to their families?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t just think about ourselves andpletely ignore them,¡± he said. Getting old Han to close down thepany was just a pipe dream. Nobody could persuade him. At that moment, old Han was lost in thought. Suddenly, old Han raised his head, his eyes shining as he said, ¡°Wife, there¡¯s a good solution to this. We can hand thepany over to our son-inw to manage.¡± ¡°We have only this one daughter, and our entire fortune will ultimately be left to them anyway.¡± ¡°The staff are all long-time employees. I know their temperaments well. There¡¯s no need to be there every day, just manage asionally,¡± he said. ¡°Anyway, our son-inw hasn¡¯t found a job yet, so letting him manage thepany would be perfect. Once he gets on the right track, if he wants to expand on arge scale, thepany isn¡¯t far from here, and it can be done,¡± he continued. ¡°In this way, our son-inw can bnce family and career,¡± he concluded. Upon hearing this, Han¡¯s mother¡¯s face lit up with joy as she nodded and said, ¡°Old Han is the more thoughtful one, such an arrangement is indeed the best.¡± ¡°But how much money do you have on hand right now? I have about a million left here, and buying a small apartment there will require a substantial amount,¡± she said. After a moment of reflection, old Han said candidly, ¡°I have a few million on hand, but it¡¯s all in fixed deposits. I was nning to use it to buy an apartment for Vivi as her dowry when she married.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that now that the son-inw has be sessful, the matter of the wedding house has been resolved. There¡¯s no need to buy another house, as buying too many would be a waste of resources. Besides,pared to the son-inw¡¯s vi, any house we could offer as a dowry would just be a small witch seeing a great sorcerer.¡± ¡°So I n to give a car as part of the dowry, but even that will cost several million. Add to that some gold and silver jewelry, and it will pretty much use up the money I have saved in fixed deposits.¡± Upon hearing this, Han Xue¡¯s mother was also happy and said, ¡°Your n isn¡¯t bad, as long as our daughter lives a good life, everything else is a minor matter.¡± ¡°Our son-inw is a reliable and dependable man, and the inws are understanding and reasonable. I believe Vivi will have afortable and smooth life in the future. That¡¯s enough for us.¡± The couple on the high-speed train seemed to be warming each other up. Despite holding a thousand reluctant and helpless feelings in their hearts, thinking about their daughter¡¯s future allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling optimistic about what¡¯s toe. On Lin Yi¡¯s side. After sending off their parents, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei headed to the temporary taxi stand and took a cab to Xiangcheng¡¯srgest maternity and baby store¡ªXiangcheng Maternity & Baby. As soon as they walked in, a sharp-eyed salesperson noticed Han Xuewei¡¯s slightly bulging belly and then nced at their age and the hands tightly held together. She immediately understood that they were a newlywed couple, likely here to buy some items for their child due to the pregnancy. The salesperson eagerly approached them and said, ¡°Mr. and Mrs., are you here to prepare things for the child? Then you¡¯vee to the right ce. Our Xiangcheng Maternity & Baby store has aplete range of products, everything you could need.¡± ¡°For newborn babies, besides preparing their inner and outer clothes, other items like bottles, nipples, form, and such also need to be ready.¡± ¡°Moreover, our Baby City hasunched a promotion. If you participate in it, you can get a postnatal gift package, which will take care of all the things the Mrs. needs for childbirth.¡± The salesperson chatted enthusiastically, leading them and introducing them cheerily to various products. Lin Yi, with a smile, replied, ¡°Beauty, we¡¯re expecting triplets, so we need a bit more stuff. Could you prepare a trolley for us to stack what we like together?¡± Upon hearing this, the salesperson became visibly excited and eximed, ¡°Triplets? Mrs. is really amazing, and the Mr. is a lucky man, congrattions!¡± As the salesperson offered congrattions, she fetched a shopping cart for them. With her guidance, Lin Yi and his wife quickly selected a number of baby items. All the items Han Xuewei needed for childbirth had also been bought. They also purchased a variety of baby clothes. They nned to take them home and wash and prepare them beforehand to avoid ast-minute scramble. ¡°Sir, the total is 5,800 yuan. Will you be paying by card, WeChat, or cash?¡± the salesperson asked happily, looking at the many items. Lin Yi took out his phone and paid by scanning a QR code. Han Xuewei was ready to help carry some items, but Lin Yi refused. Lin Yi asked Han Xuewei to be careful walking and took all the bags himself. The salesperson said they could use the shopping cart to take the items out and she would bring the cart back after they had loaded everything into the car. Lin Yi and his wife expressed their thanks and, pushed by the salesperson, headed toward the exit of the store with Lin Yi supporting Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei looked at her husband beside her and then at the pile of baby items, feeling extremely sweet inside. Chapter 18 - 17 Another Reward Received Chapter 18: Chapter 17 Another Reward Received Just then, the voice of the system entered Lin Yi¡¯s mind again. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°As the host is buying baby items for the first time, the system has decided to grant the host a baby items fund, rewarding the host with 200,000 yuan.¡± Lin Yi was somewhat bewildered, never expecting that buying things for his child could also earn him a reward from the system. It seemed the system could do whatever it wanted. If he bought many things for his child in the future, did it mean he could get rewards until his hands were sore from receiving them? At this moment, the sales associate suddenly remembered something and said, ¡°Sir, please push the cart for a moment, I almost forgot. Our mall is having a promotion. If a couplees together and spends over 5000 yuan, they will receive a set of parenting books for free.¡± ¡°I was so busy talking just now that I forgot about it. I¡¯ll go get them for you right away.¡± After saying this, the sales associate parked the shopping cart to the side and quickly ran to the counter. In the blink of an eye, she came back holding a set of books, breathing somewhat heavily, lifted it in front of the couple, and ced it in their shopping cart, suggesting they look through itter. When they reached the taxi stand, a car happened toe by. Lin Yi hailed it and loaded each item from the cart into the taxi¡¯s trunk. Before they left, the sales associate hurriedly took out her business card and ced it in Han Xuewei¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Madam, here is my business card.¡± ¡°If you need anything in the future, you can call me. As long as you are in this city, we can deliver it right to your door. In theter stages, Madam will be heavier and needn¡¯t run back and forth for small items.¡± The sales associate knew very well that in this day and age, a family that could afford to have and raise triplets certainly wouldn¡¯t be an ordinary one. Moreover, a consumption of five or six thousand yuan didn¡¯t even make the gentleman blink. Young as he was, he looked just like a college student, but with such economic strength, he must eithere from a substantial background or a distinguished family. In either case, if handled properly, they could certainly be a big client for her. Han Xuewei nced at Lin Yi and, seeing him nod, she took the business card and put it away, thanking the sales associate once more. Then, the couple took the taxi and soon disappeared from sight in a trail of exhaust. At that moment, Aunt Wang called. Han Xuewei answered the phone and immediately Aunt Wang¡¯s voice came through, ¡°Vivi, are you nning to eat lunch out, or will youe back to eat?¡± Han Xuewei did not answer right away but turned to look at Lin Yi and whispered, ¡°Aunt is asking about our lunch n, where shall we eat?¡± Lin Yi looked at her with affectionate eyes and said, ¡°Where do you want to eat? As your belly grows, it won¡¯t be convenient toe out often.¡± ¡°I want to eat out before we go back,¡± Han Xuewei said directly. Lin Yi caressed Han Xuewei¡¯s hair indulgently and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s have the driver deliver our things back home while we go out for a meal before resting, just let Aunt know, and it will be fine.¡± Aunt Wang, on the other end of the phone, heard everything loud and clear. She smiled cheerfully and said briskly, ¡°You can have the driver send the stuff back to me first.¡± ¡°Go enjoy your meal with no worries!¡± ¡°Just remember that Vivi needs to be careful with her diet, make sure you eat healthy food.¡± ¡°Thank you, Aunt, we got it, goodbye,¡± replied Han Xuewei sweetly and then hung up. ¡°So where shall we go for lunch? This is the first time we¡¯re eating out together, it¡¯s kind of like our first date,¡± Han Xuewei said with sparkling eyes and a shy tone. Lin Yiughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. So we absolutely need something ssy. Just going to a random ce really doesn¡¯t show the sincerity of my love for my wife. What would you like to eat in your heart?¡± Han Xuewei replied, ¡°Anything is fine, as long as there¡¯s food. I¡¯m not picky.¡± Lin Yi rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, could it be that all women are like this? ¡°Let¡¯s go to Piaoxue Vi. I¡¯ve heard the scenery there is beautiful, and dining while enjoying the views, that¡¯s truly romantic. Moreover, the food is very delicious, I guarantee you¡¯ll like it,¡± Lin Yi continued. Han Xuewei looked a bit shocked as she said, ¡°Piaoxue Vi? Maybe we shouldn¡¯t? The consumption there is really high. There¡¯s no need to waste that much money.¡± Lin Yi sighed inwardly, wondering if all women were like this or if it was just pregnant women? ¡°It¡¯s just Piaoxue Vi; we can afford it. We¡¯re going there. Just think, this is our first date. No matter how expensive it is, we have to go,¡± ¡°In our lives, we can¡¯t have any regrets. That¡¯s settled then,¡± Lin Yi stated in a very assertive manner. Han Xuewei¡¯s heart instantly filled with sweetness, and without saying anything more, agreed with Lin Yi¡¯s reasoning. This was their first date for a meal, and it wouldn¡¯t feel right if it was too simple andcked a sense of ceremony. ¡°Driver, please take us to Piaoxue Vi first, and then you can deliver these things back to number nine, Guixiang Garden. Thank you for your troubles,¡± Lin Yi instructed directly. Before long, the young couple appeared at Piaoxue Vi. Piaoxue Vi, true to its name, was covered in a cloak of white, a stark contrast to the city of Xiangcheng. Upon seeing it, Han Xuewei felt naturally joyful, wanting to hop and skip around to admire thendscape, but Lin Yi caught hold of her arm. That¡¯s when she came back to her senses, btedly remembering she was a pregnant woman. So, supported by Lin Yi¡¯s arm, she walked slowly, admiring the endless beauty that was utterly refreshing. At that moment, a vi attendant approached and simply greeted, ¡°Mr. and Mrs., wee! Can I assist you with anything?¡± Lin Yi responded, ¡°We¡¯vee to eat. Show us your menu.¡± The attendant handed Lin Yi the menu and then introduced some dishes and arranged a private room. Lin Yi chose dishes ording to Han Xuewei¡¯s tastes, handed them to the attendant for preparation, and then leisurely supported Han Xue, soaking in Piaoxue Vi¡¯s breathtaking views. Lin Yi turned his head, looked at Han Xuewei, and felt an immense sense of wonder at how quickly time had passed. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, he had gone from being single to a husband and a father-to-be. A heavy responsibility weighed on his shoulders, apanied by a gentle sense of happiness that spread through his heart. ¡°Vivi, how do you like me to call you? Wife or Vivi?¡± Lin Yi asked with a smile. Han Xuewei gave a shy smile, lifted her head to look at Lin Yi, and said, ¡°Whatever you like to call me, I like them all. But can I call you ¡®husband¡¯ from now on?¡± The newlyweds, though together through unexpected circumstances, would feel somewhat distant if they still addressed each other by their full names. Lin Yi happily answered, ¡°However you¡¯d like to call is fine, though ¡®husband¡¯ is certainly the best.¡± Chapter 19 - 19 Is it because of the child? Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Is it because of the child? ¡°Alright, husband, I still prefer you calling me ¡®wife.¡¯ It shows that we are a married couple without any sense of distance,¡± Han Xuewei said somewhat shyly. Han Xuewei¡¯s body leaned gently against Lin Yi, enveloped in tender affection. Afterst night¡¯s incident, they felt even closer to each other. Like lovers who had just started dating, although notpletely open, they no longer felt strangers to each other. Han Xuewei could feel that Lin Yi¡¯s attitude towards her and their child had gradually be more tender from being stiff. ¡°Husband, have you told your friends and ssmates about our marriage?¡± Han Xuemei asked with a smile. Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, ¡°I haven¡¯t had the chance to tell anyone else, just mentioned it briefly in our dormitory. But those guys don¡¯t take it to heart, all thinking I¡¯m just blowing my own trumpet.¡± ¡°They all think you are the most beautiful belle of Xiangcheng University, and a goddess in every man¡¯s heart. They would never believe I¡¯d marry you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that no one could have imagined that the famous belle would end up in my hands, bing the treasure in my heart,¡± he added. Han Xuewei walked for a while, her beautiful form enwrapped as she turned her head to nce at Lin Yi¡¯s handsome face and leaned gently against him. Han Xuewei said, ¡°Even the most beautiful face is just a human skin. The school belle is also a person; it¡¯s not strange to have all sorts of feelings.¡± ¡°From the moment I saw you in our freshman year, I was attracted by your handsome face, and couldn¡¯t help my heart beating faster. Your abilities are outstanding, a rare talent, so from that time, I started to like you,¡± she confessed. ¡°It¡¯s just that because of my personality, I¡¯m not good at expressing myself, which is why I missed out on a few years. Just¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­ if you¡­ you¡­ liked me too?¡± Lin Yi smiled tenderly, pulled Han Xuewei tightly into his embrace, and said, ¡°The answer is for sure, I also started liking you from that time.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no doubt about this answer. Between us, we even have a child; you mustn¡¯t think too much, I have you in my heart.¡± In Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes, a flicker of destion crossed as she said with a sense of loss, ¡°I understand. You chose to marry me because of the child, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Yi knew this little woman was overthinking and quickly pulled her close, hands on her shoulders, gazed at her intently and seriously. ¡°Vivi, I won¡¯t allow you to think like that, nor doubt my feelings. If it were only for the child, at my young age, I could have simply chosen not to,¡± he said firmly. ¡°Or after you gave birth to the child, I could just provide arge sum for child support, so why would I need to marry you?¡± ¡°The child is indeed a bond in our marriage, but the reason I chose the opportunity is because of my fondness for you in my heart, and that is undeniable.¡± ¡°You must firmly believe in your heart that your husband loves you! We are like entering our dating phase¡ªwe need to sincerely develop and maintain our feelings for each other. Suspicion is the greatest killer in a marriage,¡± he said with conviction. Lin Yi spoke with unwavering certainty. Han Xuewei smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Husband, all this stems from myck of confidence. I always feel you¡¯re so outstanding, scared that one day you might disappear from my life.¡± ¡°Despite the title of school belle, I have never truly been with a man, immersed in my studies and never fallen in love.¡± ¡°In my heart, I always worried that you would disappear from my world before I had the chance to turn around.¡± Lin Yi looked into Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes, no longer able to hold back, pulled her into his arms, their heads resting against each other, and he spoke deeply, ¡°Silly girl, don¡¯t worry, I will never leave you.¡± ¡°My love for you will only grow with time, never diminishing.¡± Lin Yi clearly felt that at the beginning, he indeed married her because of the child, but he also had affection for her. Being with Han Xuewei, Lin Yi felt extremely lucky, having married the woman of his dreams, as one can imagine. However, after spending these few days together, he realized that not only was Han Xuewei beautiful and of good character, but she also treated him with tender dependence, which in turn made his feelings for Han Xuewei soar rapidly. Most importantly, there was Han Xuewei¡¯s deep affection for him. Gradually, Lin Yi found himself slowly falling in love with Han Xuewei, naturally responding to her love, and everything fell into ce effortlessly. The couple, embracing in the snow, followed their deep gaze at one another with a tender hug. Both sides expressed their feelings for each other. In an instant, the veil that had been between them was ripped to shreds. Two young hearts drew close together tightly. At that moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out again in Lin Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Due to the host¡¯s heartfelt confession to the female lead, and mutual affection, a special system task has been triggered. Now awarding 2 million yuan in cash as a love fund.¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was overjoyed. The system was really interesting, as if there were rewards everywhere, including ones rted to the child, and also for the wife. It seems that when he gets back, he needs to find some time to study it thoroughly. He might find some patterns indeed. The two embraced in the snow, filled with tender affection, reluctant to part. At this moment, the waiter came over and told them that all the dishes had been served and asked them to go and eat immediately. The couple walked to the private room arm in arm, and seeing the exquisite and delicious food on the table, they immediately felt famished. ¡°Wife, don¡¯t be polite with me. Eat to your heart¡¯s content. Right now, you need to eat for several people. Your husband is rich and you don¡¯t need to worry at all.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, we¡¯ll order more, money is not a problem,¡± Lin Yi said indulgently and extravagantly. ¡°Okay, thank you, husband!¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly as she quickly expressed her gratitude. The couple sat together, feeding each other, and it felt a bit like they were dating, with something called ambiguity rapidly spreading between them. ¡°Wife, do you think my parents are easy to get along with? You must tell me the truth, so I know how to handle it,¡± Lin Yi asked. ¡°Your parents are really nice, they are easy to get along with and they¡¯re good to me too. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know how I might seem in the eyes of those upstairs,¡± Han Xuewei said while eating. ¡°My parents really like you, they keep telling me to live well with you, and to always see the challenges you face, never allowing me to be willful and reckless,¡± Lin Yi smiled, then continued, ¡°What about your mom and dad? Do they have even the slightest fondness for me?¡± Han Xuewei turned with a smile that dazzled Lin Yi¡¯s eyes, and she said, ¡°My parents really like you; they think you¡¯re a dependable man.¡± ¡°Now, I feel especially happy, from the initial fear and confusion to the current bliss and fulfillment.¡± Chapter 20: The Divine Skill of Eidetic Memory Goes Online Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Divine Skill of Eidetic Memory Goes Online ¡°My mom thinks I will definitely be happy in your family.¡± ¡°With loving and doting inws, and a husband who is also very good to me.¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m the happiest woman in the world.¡± Han Xuewei said blissfully. Lin Yi was overjoyed and moved forward to embrace Han Xuewei. ¡°I also feel very happy!¡± ¡°To have married the goddess of my heart.¡± ¡°And those three little babies who are about to be born.¡± Han Xuewei also spoke with a blushing face, ¡°You¡¯re very handsome too, and you¡¯re also in my heart.¡± Lin Yi, seeing Han Xuewei¡¯s shy and expressive eyes, suddenly became a bit restless. He hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, wife. Let¡¯s eat first! Otherwise, I really can¡¯t hold back¡­ ¡± Han Xuewei smiled happily, feeling that their rtionship had grown even closer. They ate lunch outside and then took a taxi straight home. Lin Yi¡¯s desire to buy a car grew stronger; it seemed necessary to find some time to go look at cars with Han Xuewei. One for him to drive, another for slight driving, and one for Aunt Wang to use for grocery shopping, all these were essential. He just didn¡¯t know how much it would cost to buy these cars. But now Lin Yi was not short of money¡ªhis ount still had tens of millions lying in it, so buying these cars surely wouldn¡¯t be an issue. Han Xuewei, heavy with child, tired easily. As soon as she got home, she immediately went to the bedroom to rest. Han Xuewei always felt she could never get enough sleep and was verynguid all day long. It was as if bing pregnant had made herzy all over. Lin Yi, bored, remembered the set of child-rearing books the salesperson had given them and hurried to find them. Lin Yi went straight to the study, opened his hands, wanting to take a good look. The salespeople really were reliable, knowing exactly what this young couple needed and delivering it right away. Scientific child-rearing was indeed an essential matter. As the father of triplets, Lin Yi knew many things would have to be paid attention to after the children¡¯s birth. Lin Yi opened the book, and all his thoughts immediately immersed in its content; he had to study it well to avoid being flusteredter on. After the birth of the children, there surely would be many things to take into ount. If he did not prepare in advance, he would undoubtedly be at a loss, which would not be good for the children¡¯s development. Moreover, taking care of a pregnant woman was another big issue. Knowing exactly how to manage her nutrition intake and diet was also crucial. This knowledge was aplete mystery to Lin Yi at present. Lin Yi took a deep breath, stopped his idle thoughts, and closely focused on every word in the book. Just then, the voice of the system echoed in his mind. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°As the host is dedicated to solving his wife and child¡¯s problems, he has triggered the system¡¯s special skill. The system has decided to reward the host with the Divine Skill of Photographic Memory.¡± Lin Yi was taken aback; this system really was interesting. It seemed as if anything rted to his wife and child could earn a reward. For instance, he received a reward when he decided to marry Han Xuwei and have children. Latterly, making Han Xueweite-night snacks, buying dumplings, hearing the baby¡¯s fetal movements for the first time, and making the first purchase for the baby¡ªall of these had garnered system rewards. He just didn¡¯t know how to use this Photographic Memory skill yet. No sooner had Lin Yi thought of this question than the system immediately provided an answer. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Report to the host, this Divine Skill is truly extraordinary and easy to use. The host only needs to agree to activate it.¡± ¡°In future studies or daily life, the host can use this Divine Skill.¡± ¡°Does the host wish to activate the Divine Skill now?¡± Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but admire internally, the system was really fucking impressive. If he had this Divine Skill, what would he ever have to worry about forgetting? ¡°Alright, start now,¡± Lin Yi said. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions to the host, the activation is sessful, and the host can now use it.¡± The voice of the system once again transmitted into Lin Yi¡¯s mind. He took a deep breath, wanting to test out how effective this Divine Skill was. So Lin Yi picked up the book again and found that his focus was much more concentrated than before! Reading now felt extremely rxing and enjoyable. Even when he read the Later Stages of the content, he could still rey the Earlier Stages clearly in his mind. Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but marvel internally: This Divine Skill really is awesome. If he had this Divine Skill in high school, perhaps he could have chosen any world-ss university at will. Lin Yi stopped these various thoughts and started reading the book seriously. This set of scientific parenting books, from the time a mom-to-be is pregnant until the child is 12 years old, clearly outlines what the child should be doing at each stage. The entire set took Lin Yi merely one hour to finish reading. And regarding the content, he hadmitted to memory every page thoroughly. This left Lin Yi even more shocked; this photographic memory Divine Skill was truly formidable. If he had had it back when he was in school, he would undoubtedly have been an extraordinary top student. Lin Yi shook his head and quickly dismissed other messy thoughts. All of that was in the past; the most important thing was to seize the present. ording to this set of books, before the child is born, form and clothing, as well as some wrapping items, must all be prepared in advance. Baby products must be sterilized before use, to avoid harming the baby¡¯s skin. The care for pregnant women is exined even more in detail: diet must be nutritionally bnced, eat less sweets, and consume more whole grains and fruits. In the Later Stages of pregnancy, the sleep quality will decline, and this is when the husband¡¯s help is urgently needed. After a woman bes pregnant, because of the instability in her hormones, her temper may also be irritable. Therefore, the family of the pregnant woman must be extra considerate, to ensure her mood is as pleasant as possible, which is beneficial for the baby¡¯s health. After the baby is born, in addition to preparing the essentials for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, one must also master certain life skills. When holding a newborn baby, there are specifics to consider, from the posture¡ªusing both hands, holding them close to an adult¡¯s chest, providing the baby with enough sense of security. The book details extensively, providing excellent guidance on what caregivers should do at each stage for the baby. Even novices, after learning, can do it just right. The book also mentions the process of morning sickness for expectant mothers. After bing pregnant, due to the invasion of a foreign entity, the body starts showing a series of rejection responses. Added to this are the hormones secreted by pregnant women in the early stages, which can cause morning sickness. When morning sickness urs, there¡¯s no need for panic, as this is all within the normal range. If the morning sickness is too severe, one can also use certain foods to adjust. Of course, all this depends on the health foundation of the expectant mother. After reading it, Lin Yi¡¯s heart was filled with deep emotion. Chapter 21 - 21 Im the Chef Chapter 21: Chapter 21 I¡¯m the Chef After organizing the content of the books, Lin Yi reflected on how Han Xuewei usually behaved in daily life. Lin Yi found that Han Xuewei had never really shown any unusual tendencies, except thatpared to other women, she seemed to be a bit sleepier, taking just a few extra minutes to rest. There was a slight change in her dietary habits; her appetite seemed to have improved quite a bit. Beyond that, Lin Yi hadn¡¯t noticed anything special. ¡°This is good too, suffering less is always better. Otherwise, if she were carrying triplets again, that would be excessively hard,¡± Lin Yi thought to himself. Suddenly, Lin Yi remembered that the book also mentioned that it was essential for pregnant women to exercise. Not only would it help the baby¡¯s development, but it¡¯s also particrly beneficial for the expectant mother. ¡°In theing days, I should sign my wife up for a prenatal yoga or swimming ss,¡± Lin Yi immediately thought to himself. ¡°Let her exercise well to keep herself and the four of them healthy.¡± ¡°Of course, all of this still depends on whether Han Xuewei is willing. If she doesn¡¯t like it, then never mind,¡± he added. It was not until the afternoon that Han Xuewei came out of the bedroom. As Han Xuewei passed the study, she saw Lin Yi engrossed in writing and drawing. She noticed several books and a mobile phone in front of Lin Yi, and he was holding a notebook in his hand. Han Xuewei walked in through the door and hugged Lin Yi from behind, asking softly, ¡°Husband, what are you doing?¡± Lin Yi turned around with a tender smile and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t that salesperson give us a set of books yesterday?¡± ¡°I took them out to study and make some notes, so it¡¯s easier for you when you look at them.¡± ¡°You need to learn some of this child-rearing knowledge too. For the baby¡¯s and your health, it¡¯s good to understand more.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve written down the key points from the books in the notebook. You don¡¯t have to read such a thick book; just look at the content I¡¯ve summarized.¡± ¡°This way it¡¯s easier for you.¡± After finishing his sentence, Lin Yi handed the notebook to Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei took it and opened it to find that the notebook was filled with meticulous notes on various cautions for pregnant women and babies. The considerate Lin Yi had even used different colored pens for annotations, which greatly moved Han Xuewei. Through the lines, Han Xuewei could feel Lin Yi¡¯s deep love and painstaking effort. She remembered being mesmerized by Lin Yi¡¯s sunny and cheerful presence from the first time she saw him in college. For a while, wherever Han Xuewei went, she heard other girls discussing Lin Yi, their lively expressions making her envious. It went without saying that, in those days, Lin Yi had be the dream lover of many girls. Sometimes paying attention to Lin Yi, Han Xuewei realized over time that she had quietly fallen in love with him. On the night of the unexpected event, Han Xuewei didn¡¯t feel any panic or unease, but rather a hint of relief. As a girl, she thought it was a great fortune to give the most precious part of herself to the man she loved the most. Later, when she discovered she was pregnant, a wave of joy couldn¡¯t help but surge in Han Xuewei¡¯s heart. She had been prepared to bear the consequences alone, but still felt somewhat reluctant. To provide aplete home for her child, Han Xuewei decided to take a gamble. The responsibility andmitment shown by Lin Yi once brought tears of joy to Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes, making her feel she had not loved the wrong person. Lin Yi¡¯s agreement to marry her and give their baby a home was more than enough for Han Xuewei to feelpletely satisfied. Han Xuewei had made up her mind that even if Lin Yi only loved the child and not her after marriage, she would ept it. Nowadays, many couples are together in name only, staying married for the sake of giving their child aplete home, with little love between them; only the bond of the child and a paper certificate remain. Han Xuewei thought to herself that entering into marriage was merely an early start to the kind of life where only a paper certificate and a child remained, and she was ready to ept it. She had never expected that Lin Yi actually had feelings for her as well, which made Han Xuewei feel extremely happy. As she looked at the densely packed notebook, a wave of happiness swept through her heart. Han Xuewei lowered her head and gently kissed Lin Yi¡¯s cheek. ¡°Husband, thank you!¡± Han Xuewei said happily. ¡°By the way, it¡¯s time for afternoon tea now, what would you like to eat? Just tell me what you want, and I¡¯ll make it for you right away,¡± Lin Yi said tenderly. ¡°Husband, you can cook?¡± Han Xuewei asked in surprise. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lin Yi, somewhat disbelieving. ¡°Of course! To take care of my wife and child, even if I didn¡¯t know how, I¡¯d have to learn.¡± ¡°Besides, you can rest assured, your husband here is of high-level international chef skill, top-notch in cooking techniques.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, today I¡¯ll let you see for yourself.¡± Lin Yi patted his chest confidently. The smile on Han Xuewei¡¯s lips grew even sweeter. An inexplicable and indescribable feeling spread from within her heart. Could this be what they call love? Lin Yi¡¯s face was filled with vitality, nning a piece of cake for himself. With the system in hand, he had everything! His high-level cooking skills were a special reward from the system, certainly nothing to scoff at. Not to mention a simple afternoon tea, evenpeting with chefs from several-star hotels would be a breeze. ¡°That¡¯s great, since my husband is so enthusiastic, as your wife, I would be rude to decline.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about time, let¡¯s skip the afternoon tea! I¡¯ll just have some fruit to tide me over.¡± ¡°However, tonight I expect a feast to witness your international chef level skills,¡± Han Xuewei said with augh. ¡°Not a problem at all, then I¡¯ll start by making you a fruit sd,¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs, you can eat the fruit sd and watch TV, have a bit of a rest, and the feast will be served in the evening,¡± Lin Yi said. Lin Yi followed Han Xuewei¡¯s small hand, walking towards the downstairs. Once downstairs, Lin Yi asked Han Xuewei to wait a moment while he himself went into the kitchen. In no time at all, a colorful and fragrant fruit sd was brought to the table. ¡°Husband, you¡¯re amazing! Just looking at this fruit sd makes one¡¯s mouth water,¡± Han Xuewei eximed excitedly. ¡°Wife, you eat the fruit sd first, I¡¯m going to start preparing the dinner feast right away,¡± After speaking, Lin Yi arranged for Han Xuewei to sit on the sofa in front of the television, with the delicious fruit sd ced on the coffee table. He and Aunt Wang then busied themselves in the kitchen. After finishing the sd and ying with her phone for half the day, Han Xuewei felt a bit bored and thought about getting up and moving around, but she found herself toofortablyzy to do so. Therefore, Han Xuewei reclined gently on the couch and soon fell into a deep sleep. Chapter 22 - 22 Lin Yi Cooks Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Lin Yi Cooks By the time Han Xuewei woke up, the dining table was alreadyden with several delicious dishes. Even from a significant distance, the enticing aroma could be perceived, irresistibly luring out countless cravings. ¡°Honey, what delicious food have you made?¡± ¡°Why does it smell so good?¡± Just awakened, Han Xuewei¡¯s eyes were slightly bleary,zy and enchanting. ¡°Go and have a look, and you¡¯ll know.¡± ¡°Come, I¡¯ve already served the soup.¡± Lin Yi said with a smile, his voice gentle. Supported by Lin Yi, Han Xuewei made her way to the dining table and felt overwhelmingly hungry at the sight of it, her appetite was unprecedentedly stirred. On the table were two bowls of aromatic soup¡ªSausage and Winter Melon Soup and Hakka Sanqi Chicken Soup with Pig¡¯s Stomach. Beside the soups were several small dishes that were both colorful and fragrant, particrly the Dry-Fried Mandarinfish which looked extraordinary. ¡°Husband, I feel so blessed. I didn¡¯t expect you could actually cook!¡± ¡°These dishes look so delicious!¡± Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but express her joy. Lin Yi chuckled and ced the already served soup in front of Han Xuewei. Lin Yi said, ¡°Wife, try it and see how it is.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll go make something else right away.¡± Moved, Han Xuewei smiled sweetly and said with emotion, ¡°Husband, I can already smell it. It¡¯s a vor I really love.¡± ¡°I never imagined your cooking would be even better than mine, being able to make such vorful, aromatic, and visually appealing dishes. You¡¯ve made me feel so blessed.¡± Lin Yi¡¯s face was filled with a doting smile. He had indeed put a lot of effort into this table of dishes. From choosing the ingredients to incorporating the herbal medicine, every detail had been meticulously attended to. The diet of a pregnant woman should be primarily light, yet nutritious. Pregnancy greatly depletes the mother¡¯s body, and not paying attention canpletely wear her out, with loss outweighing the gain. Reflecting on all these considerations, Lin Yi had taken great action. Looking at the table full of dishes, Han Xuewei felt a rapid surge of happiness, realizing the soup was almost ready to drink. She picked up a small bowl and took a delicate sip. In an instant, the mild fragrance of the winter melon spread across her lips and teeth, refreshing her soul. Unable to resist, Han Xuewei continued to sip gently. Watching her, Lin Yi felt an immense sense of satisfaction. This must be what love is all about! He couldn¡¯t help but think to himself. ¡°Husband, this soup is so delicious! It¡¯s light yet leaves a lingering taste that makes one reluctant to put down the bowl. I didn¡¯t expect your culinary skills to be so remarkable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s certainly on par with the soups from star-rated hotels.¡± ¡°I¡¯m truly blessed!¡± Enjoying each sip, Han Xuewei looked up and spoke happily. ¡°Aunt Wang,e and drink with us.¡± ¡°Try Lin Yi¡¯s craftsmanship. You¡¯ve really been working too hard.¡± As Han Xuewei looked up and saw Aunt Wang still bustling around not too far away, she quickly called her over. Aunt Wang responded with a smile and walked over, her face beaming. Honestly, she was also curious about the dishes Lin Yi had prepared. They looked good, but she wondered how they tasted. In Aunt Wang¡¯s experience, Lin Yi rarely stepped into the kitchen. Approaching the table, Han Xuemei served her a bowl of soup, enthusiastically saying, ¡°Aunt Wang, give it a try.¡± ¡°Oh my, just take care of yourself; I can serve myself.¡± Aunt Wang, slightly overwhelmed by the pampering, spoke as she saw Han Xuewei serving her the soup. Under Han Xuewei¡¯s urging, she picked up the small bowl and gently took a sip, her face immediately filled with disbelief. These were clearly ordinary ingredients, so how did they be so extraordinary after Lin Yi¡¯s touch? This vor, Aunt Wang felt, didn¡¯t have any additional ingredients, but rather fully brought out the essence of the food, creating a wonderful blend that was indescribable. Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and began to eat heartily. Seeing this, Aunt Wang quickly urged her to eat slowly. She sat by the table, unable to resist reaching out for each dish. This kid is really skilled at cooking, it seems he has truly grown up. Aunt Wang couldn¡¯t help but feel at ease seeing the child she had brought up being so considerate to his wife. She believed Lin Yi would definitely be a good husband, a good father. Lin Yi sat close to Han Xuewei, asionally serving her dishes, taking care of her perfectly. Soon after Han Xuewei finished eating, she looked even morezy and contented, like an adorable big kitty. ¡°This food is really too delicious!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a vor I¡¯ve never tasted before.¡± ¡°It¡¯s in no way inferior to those star-level chefs,¡± Han Xuewei said happily. ¡°What¡¯s so big about that? As long as you like it, I¡¯ll cook for you every day in the future, and make sure to fatten you up,¡± Lin Yi said with great indulgence. Han Xuewei smiled sweetly, her voice tender, ¡°How could that be? In no time at all, I¡¯ll probably be as fat as a pig.¡± Lin Yi gently stroked her hair and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine to be a little fat, I like it either way, and definitely won¡¯t despise you.¡± ¡°Still, it¡¯s not okay. Being too overweight during pregnancy is hard to reduce and not good for the health,¡± Han Xuewei quickly shook her head. Lin Yi cracked a slight smile, clearly aware of a girl¡¯s strictness with her own weight. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Congrattions Host, you have received a cash reward of 500,000 from the system.¡± At that moment, the system¡¯s voice reached Lin Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Another 500,000 bonus?¡± ¡°The system¡¯s awards aren¡¯t small, just wonder why it is.¡± Lin Yi asked in surprise in his mind. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Because the host cooked for his wife, a reward was granted.¡± The system¡¯s voice came again. Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but feel an inner burst of joy, just for cooking a meal for his wife, he could get a 500,000 reward. Did that mean that as long as he took care of his wife and children in the future, he would be able to receive such generous rewards? If that was the case, then he¡¯d get tired from epting rewards. Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei with a tender smile and said, ¡°Then alright! We¡¯ll do everything your way. But making you a meal once in a while is still a must.¡± ¡°You¡¯re carrying triplets in your belly, so the supplement of nutrients is extremely important. Don¡¯t neglect your health over worries about your weight.¡± ¡°Only by ensuring your health can we ensure the children.¡± Hearing this, Han Xuewei¡¯s heart immediately filled with endless anticipation for life. She spoke in a soft voice, ¡°Having a husband who is a chef of supreme level, I don¡¯t have to worry about nutrition and taste, it¡¯s so good to have you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m a bit scared that in the future I won¡¯t be able to resist eating a lot, and if the weight keeps going up and then can¡¯te down, what then?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be fat!¡± Han Xuewei said, pouting her lips adorably as she spoke. Seeing Han Xuewei like this, Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat infatuated. Chapter 23 - 23 Are You Playing Hide and Seek with Daddy? Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Are You ying Hide and Seek with Daddy? After a sumptuous meal, the couple snuggled up on the sofa, chatting and catching up on a drama series. ¡°Wife, I¡¯ve noticed that getting around isn¡¯t very convenient for us, and it¡¯s only going to get more difficult once you start showing. So I was thinking, maybe we should buy a car as our means of transportation. Will you apany me to pick one out?¡± ¡°By the way, wife, have you got your driving license?¡± Lin Yi suddenly remembered something and asked. Han Xuewei nodded and replied seriously, ¡°I just got it this semester, but I¡¯ve never actually driven on the road¡­¡± Lin Yi smiled and touched her forehead, saying, ¡°No worries, then I¡¯ll be your personal chauffeur, and I¡¯ll take care of the driving. Will you join me tomorrow to choose our future ride, or would you rather sleep in at home?¡± Without a second thought, Han Xuewei immediately agreed, of course, she wanted to go with Lin Yi. Their rtionship was heating up rapidly, even faster than any other couple in the throes of love; they just wanted to be glued to each other day and night, without ever getting tired of it! ¡°Then I¡¯ll go with you! But you have to wake me up tomorrow. These past few days, I¡¯ve been unusually sleepy for some reason. I always feel groggy, wanting to sleep as soon as I¡¯ve eaten and getting hungry the moment I wake up. If this keeps up, I might turn into a little pig, right?¡± ¡°Hahaha, is that what you¡¯re worried about? So what if you did? Even if you became a little pig, I¡¯d make sure you¡¯re the happiest little pig in the world!¡± Lin Yi said, looking at her with adoration and pulling Han Xuewei into his arms. After some sweet cuddling, Han Xuewei began to feel her eyelids fighting each other, a wave of drowsiness washing over her. ¡°I¡¯m getting sleepy again¡­ I¡¯ll rest first, hubby.¡± Lin Yi immediately leaned in after hearing this, ¡°Don¡¯t rush, give me another two minutes. I want to listen for any activity from the little baby in your belly. Look, I even bought a fetal heart monitor especially for today!¡± Lin Yi was surprised to find he was already addicted to interacting with the baby every day. To further savor this delightful experience, he had specifically purchased this monitor. ¡°By the way, wife, when buying the monitor today, I saw some equipment for prenatal checkups. So I was thinking, it¡¯s about time we went for a checkup, right? And I¡¯ve heard that you need to file with the maternity and child health care office before the birth! We should also take care of getting a birth permit; there are quite a few things we need to do¡­¡± Lin Yi began to recall all the information he had learned these past days and started to make a simple n in his head. It¡¯s safe to say, Lin Yi had spent a lot of thought on his wife and child recently. ¡°That¡¯s right! If you hadn¡¯t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. It¡¯s time for a prenatal checkup!¡± ¡°They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and I feel like I¡¯m already getting there. I have no idea what I¡¯m thinking about every day; I nearly forgot such an important thing¡­¡± Han Xuewei said, suddenly waking up from a daze and quickly sitting up as Lin Yi mentioned it. ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ll apany you for that!¡± Lin Yi also instantly perked up. ¡°Should we postpone the car shopping, then?¡± Han Xuewei asked. ¡°There¡¯s no rush for that, what could be more important than my wife¡¯s prenatal checkup?¡± Lin Yi had no objections and immediately decided on the checkup for the next day. ¡°Good thing I set up my medical card when I went for a health check, so I can make an appointment in advance today ¨C no need to queue!¡± Han Xuewei hurriedly opened the app to make an online appointment. Maybe it was the belly, but Han Xuewei could feel that neither sitting nor standing werefortable anymore, so the thought of queuing was definitely troubling. After some tapping and swiping, she finally said, ¡°Appointment sessful, but since we waited until thest minute, there¡¯s only a ten o¡¯clock slot avable for the checkup. Is that okay?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can take some extra rest. Let¡¯s take a ride-hailing service! Although it¡¯s not asfortable and convenient as having a private car, I don¡¯t want to rush you,¡± Lin Yi said. After saying this, he eagerly pulled out the fetal heart monitor he had purchased. Han Xuewei had also noticed the changes in her body over the past few days. Aside from changes in her diet and sleep, her belly had grown significantly, and sometimes, she would wake up to find her belly had risen so high! Her situation wasn¡¯t like others¡¯, after all, she had three little ones in her belly! Sometimes, expectant mothers with only one baby feel very ufortable, let alone now with three babies inside! So this also led to a significant increase in her appetite and sleep quality in recent days! Seeing Lin Yi running over excitedly, she first propped up her back with a pillow, then shyly lifted up half of her nightgown, revealing her bulging belly, which was indeed more noticeable than it had been a few days before. Lin Yi began to study the so-called fetal heart monitor, getting a bit flustered for a moment. Han Xuewei took one look and immediately remembered the examinations she had at the hospital. She realized the monitor worked on the same principle as the ultrasound and began to patiently instruct him. ¡°Honey, try to aim the probe here at the belly¡­ No no, you should first apply that gel to the probe¡­¡± After a long while of studying, they finally made some progress. Once Lin Yi understood the principle, he began to try it eagerly. ¡°My dear babies, Daddy is going to listen to your heartbeats now!¡± Lin Yi carefully aimed the probe, operating it somewhat clumsily. As soon as the monitor was turned on, it began to respond. Han Xuewei felt a coolness on her belly, causing her to shiver involuntarily. ¡°Hm? Are the three little ones hiding? Where have you all gone?¡± Lin Yi earnestly searched, as if ying a game of hide and seek with the children. Han Xuewei watched Lin Yi, who was acting like a child himself, with a warm feeling in her heart. At that moment, she felt like the happiest mother in the world, reassured that her babies could have such a father! Just then, as Lin Yi¡¯s attention was still focused on Han Xuewei¡¯s belly, there was a slight anomaly on the monitor! The chaotic, irregr noise in the monitor became very regr, and a series of beeping sounds disrupted their train of thought. Lin Yi was startled by the sudden noise, and his hand holding the instrument shook uncontrobly. But at that moment, a system prompt sounded in Lin Yi¡¯s mind! ¡°Ding¡­¡± Chapter 24 - 24 Fetal Heart Rate Monitor Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Fetal Heart Rate Monitor ¡°Ding! Congrattions to the host, you have sessfully captured the heartbeats of three babies and earned a reward of two million!¡± He no longer cared at all about the amount of the reward! Everything seemed to have turned into floating clouds! Lin Yi was now only focused on intently listening to the activities of the three babies, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness! ¡°Haha! Daddy heard it! Heard you guys stirring!¡± ¡°Is this voice the eldest¡¯s, or is it the two younger brothers?¡± Lin Yi¡¯s expression had be extremely tender at this moment, his eyes squinting joyfully into slits! At this moment, Han Xuewei also got quite a start from the sudden activity just now, and she suddenly realized how miraculous all this was! So this was what the nurturing of life was like! It really was so fascinating! However, not long after, the beeping sound from the monitor gradually dissipated, reced by a flurry of noise. Han Xuewei smiled and said softly, ¡°Looks like the babies are ying hide and seek again. This time, make sure to hide well!¡± For the first time, Han Xuewei felt so close to the babies; she could also sense the little ones wriggling around in her belly! Perhaps sensing that mom and dad were ying a game with them, they seriously hid themselves again. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei exchanged looks, their faces covered with sweet smiles, a warm feeling naturally welling up between them. It was their first time experiencing such parental joy! What a blissfully happy family this was! Everything had be so warm and sweet! At this point, even Aunt Wang, who had been peering through the doorway for a while, nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Lin Yi had indeed grown up a lot! He had started to take care of his own family! Doting on his wife, cherishing his children, he had even learned to cook meals out of nowhere! Aunt Wang didn¡¯t want to disturb the couple, so she carefully retreated to rest in her room. The next morning, when Lin Yi got up, it was almost nine o¡¯clock, and he noticed that his wife was still sleeping soundly. He gently stroked her forehead, then gave her a kiss, and without causing much disturbance, went to wash up alone. In fact, after using the fetal heart rate monitor yesterday, Lin Yi had been deeply moved; it was the first time he had experienced life so delicately, so he had some trouble falling asleep! The rm clock he had set in advance went off several times early in the morning but failed to wake Lin Yi from his sleep, which was why he got up sote today. After a simple wash, he went downstairs, nning to make a loving breakfast for his still-slumbering wife, but to his surprise, he found Aunt Wang already busy, so he had to go back to the bedroom to wake Han Xuewei. ¡°Dear wife, time to get up! We have a prenatal check-up soon.¡± ¡°Mmm¡­ I want to sleep a bit more; I can¡¯t wake up¡­¡± mumbled Han Xueweinguidly, rolling over. She had intended to sleep a while longer but suddenly remembered the day¡¯s agenda and sprang up from the bed! ¡°We have a prenatal appointment today! We can¡¯t bete for that! I almost missed a big deal!¡± With that, Han Xuewei got out of bed. ¡°Honey, we¡¯re not going to bete, are we?¡± Han Xuewei asked Lin Yi worriedly. Looking at Han Xuewei¡¯s sleepy eyes, Lin Yi affectionately stroked her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s only half past nine. I wanted you to get some more rest, that¡¯s why I woke you up at this time. Go freshen up! Aunt Wang has already prepared breakfast, and the car we booked will be here soon. Trust me, we won¡¯t bete today!¡± ¡°Then you go downstairs first, I¡¯ll be quick ande down right after freshening up!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xuewei hurriedly ran out. Seeing her hasty retreat, Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but smile helplessly. After getting ready, the couple sat down at the dining table and savored the nutritious breakfast Aunt Wang had prepared. Shortly afterward, they hurried out the door and directly into the car they had booked in advance. They didn¡¯t forget to hold hands as they left, affectionately chatting all the way. It wasn¡¯t long before the car gently stopped at the entrance of the maternity and child health hospital. They quickly made their way to the prenatal checkup room, only to find a long line at the door. Clearly, there were quite a few people waiting, so they asked a nearby nurse about their appointment. The nurse had them fill out forms and supplement their information. After a lot of hustle and bustle, they finally received a booklet. Lin Yi apanied his wife while she had her blood pressure taken and got weighed, then quietly waited by her side. It wasn¡¯t long before the nurse called her name. Upon seeing the doctor, the very young doctor looked at Han Xuewei in surprise, and almost shouted with astonishment! ¡°This youngdy, I know you! I helped you with yourst checkup! It¡¯s really rare to see someone pregnant with triplets on the first try!¡± ¡°This gentleman, he must be your¡­ He looks quite handsome! You two are a really good match,¡± the doctor continued. Han Xuewei responded with a shy smile and a nod of her head, saying softly, ¡°Yes, we are husband and wife.¡± ¡°Come on, let me see your booklet!¡± said the doctor, taking the prenatal examination sheet, checking the information on it, and then starting to calcte the days of pregnancy. ¡°You¡¯ve been pregnant for quite some time now! It¡¯s almost four months. However, your physical condition isn¡¯t very good. Your blood pressure is obviously low, but don¡¯t worry, these are all normal physiological responses. In a few days, you¡¯ll need to start moving around every day. You can¡¯t sit for too long or lie down all the time.¡± ¡°If you have time next week, you will need toe for another check-up, preferably with an appointment like today. By the way, do you have medical insurance?¡± ¡°Your situation is different from that of other expectant mothers; you¡¯re carrying three babies! You need to be extra careful! Try to avoid crowded ces, and in a few days, you¡¯ll start to experience even greater changes in your body.¡± ¡°The babies are going to grow rapidly soon. For your diet, it¡¯s best to consult experienced elders. Diet is very important. You need to ensure a bnce of nutrients and food while not consuming too much sugar.¡± The young couple listened earnestly, wishing they could take notes on the spot. After all, this husband and wife had no experience, and they hadn¡¯t been neglecting their three babies at all. After finishing, the doctor smiled and said slowly, ¡°I must say, your husband is a very responsible man. It¡¯s rare nowadays to find a man who apanies his wife to prenatal checkups!¡± The two exchanged smiles, and Han Xuewei¡¯s face overflowed with happiness. ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s my good fortune to have met someone as wonderful as him. He is not only a qualified dad but also a qualified husband.¡± For Han Xuewei, praising her own husband was like giving herself apliment. Chapter 25 - 25 Lets buy two cars then Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Let¡¯s buy two cars then ¡°What a loving couple you are! Here¡¯s to wishing your family of five even more happiness!¡± Lin Yi and Han Xuewei exchanged smiles, then said to the doctor, ¡°Okay, thank you doctor. We¡¯lle for the check-up on time next week.¡± When the two of them left the hospital, it was almost midday. Han Xuewei checked the time and asked, ¡°Is there still time to go pick out a car now?¡± Lin Yi nced at his watch, then said, ¡°It feels like there isn¡¯t much time left. Choosing a car can take a while, let¡¯s wait until tomorrow! It can¡¯t interfere with your afternoon rest today, especially since I still want to make dinner for you with my own hands! So, we only have the morning to choose a car.¡± Hearing such meticulous arrangements made Han Xuewei a bit shyly say, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go to so much trouble, and I can wait at home. You can go pick one alone. After all, it¡¯s just for getting around, and I don¡¯t have any specific requirements.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s what you think, then I won¡¯t drag you all over the ce. It¡¯s not good for your health either. Today I¡¯ll go alone to have a look first. By the way, what kind of car should we choose?¡± Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then said, ¡°Here¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking, our family will have five people, and we¡¯ll need to hire a few nannies to take care of the three babies. The car can¡¯t be too cramped, so we should choose one with more space.¡± ¡°If we n it like that, we might need two cars! One just right for our family of five, since we won¡¯t always bring the babies with us on every outing.¡± Lin Yi paused, then continued, ¡°It¡¯s perfect to get another car for the nanny, one with bigger space. That¡¯d be more convenient for traveling, especially when taking the babies for check-ups. Do you think that¡¯s a good idea?¡± Lin Yi had been studying his duties as a father these past few days. He had read plenty of parenting books, and he knew all the essential things by heart, like when to do prenatal checks, when to take the kids for physical exams, and what sorts ofplementary foods the babies should eat¡ªhe knew it better than anyone else. Han Xuewei looked at him with admiration, saying, ¡°Wow! Honey, you¡¯re so thoughtful!¡± ¡°But, if we¡¯re going to buy two cars, we probably don¡¯t have that much money, right? However, it doesn¡¯t matter. I was thinking of contacting my parents, they could contribute some, and originally there was supposed to be a car for my dowry¡­¡± ¡°No no no, that won¡¯t do. You don¡¯t have to worry about these things, dear. I¡¯ve got some savings!¡± Thankfully, these past few days, with the aid of the system, he had umted quite a bit of savings. His wealth had grown to nearly ten million! Two cars were not an issue¡ªbuying two more houses would be no problem either! ¡°I¡¯ve bought quite a few stocks and made a lot of investments, so you don¡¯t need to worry about money on my ount. Let your parents keep their money! We can rely on ourselves entirely.¡± Even though Lin Yi said this, as his wife, Han Xuewei was still somewhat worried, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll give you the bride price I received to help with buying the car.¡± Immediately after hearing this, Lin Yi rejected the idea, ¡°That won¡¯t do, we must keep things separate. That¡¯s the bride price your parents gave, and from now on, that¡¯s your spending money¡ªyou can only use it for yourself!¡± ¡°Right, honey, speaking of spending money, it just urred to me. We¡¯re legally married now, but I¡¯ve never actually given you an allowance! A good husband shouldn¡¯t be like that!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll transfer some money to you right now. Go buy whatever you want. Treat yourself to some good food and drinks, and if you see clothes you like, don¡¯t hesitate¡ªour wardrobe at home is still pretty empty!¡± No sooner had he finished speaking, Lin Yi transferred two million to Han Xuewei on the spot! Han Xuewei was stunned. She had been thinking about using her bride price to help him buy a car, but Lin Yi not only declined, he also gave her such a generous amount of spending money! She was momentarily at a loss, bombarded with a multitude of questions. What kind of investments had her husband made to have so much money? Not long ago, she had heard that his family¡¯spany had suffered significant economic impacts and his worth had shrunk, so how could he suddenly afford to give away two million like it was nothing? Although Han Xuewei had a million questions, she was naturally very reassured to have such an outstanding husband. ¡°Honey, how do you still have so much money? I had heard that your family¡¯s ie had reduced dramatically. Are those rumors?¡± ¡°Seeing you now able to take out so much money, I almost feel like I¡¯ve married into wealth¡­¡± Han Xuewei said it in jest. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about money matters anymore, just focus on nurturing yourself! And I guarantee, everything at home I have earned with my own abilities! And I will earn even more in the future!¡± After all, he had the reward system. Since it was bound to him, all the money he earned was thanks to his capabilities. Wasn¡¯t it fair to say that? Han Xuewei smiled contentedly, no longer overly worried. Since all the money was earned by her husband¡¯s abilities, she couldn¡¯t be happier! Marrying such a husband who loved and cared for her, attentive to the family, and capable of earning money, must be a blessing from a past life, right? Han Xuewei knew she wasn¡¯t equipped to manage finances and didn¡¯t care much about money normally. After getting married, she was even less involved with financial matters! Now that she had a husband who was adept at managing wealth and making investments, there was nothing for her to worry about! Seeing Han Xuewei still somewhat dazed, Lin Yi patted his chest and said with sincere earnestness, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, every month I¡¯ll give you an allowance! Spend freely, don¡¯t feel like you have to save for me. If you see something you like, just tell me, and I can buy it for you!¡± Lin Yi knew one thing for sure: A wife is to be cherished, to be spoiled! Now that he had a wife, he needed to double down on pampering her! ¡°Anyway, I can still earn more, so this money is for you to spend. Don¡¯t think too much about it! Understand?¡± Lin Yi fervently instilled this idea in Han Xuewei, urging her never to shortchange herself. As long as it made her happy, there was nothing Lin Yi wouldn¡¯t do for her! Han Xuewei dived into Lin Yi¡¯s arms filled with happiness and whispered, ¡°Thank you, honey. Thank you for loving me so much!¡± Lin Yi embraced her waist, his other hand gently stroking her hair, and said, ¡°Silly girl, why say thanks? From now on, no more formalities, we¡¯re husband and wife! Isn¡¯t loving you the most natural thing? Besides, if not you, who else would I love?¡± Chapter 26 - 26 Spend Your Pocket Money as You Like Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Spend Your Pocket Money as You Like The two of them hit it off, and Lin Yi decided to go car shopping alone. After all, his wife was now pregnant, and it wasn¡¯t too convenient for her to go anywhere with a big belly. Lingering around with him would only make her tired; it would be better for her to go home and rest well. ¡°By the way, honey, I¡¯ve been thinking, we should both take a semester off from school. Nothing is more important than your health. Right now, you should just focus on nurturing our baby peacefully, and after your confinement period is over, we can go back to school. How does that sound?¡± ¡°Otherwise, you would have to go to ss with a big belly every day, and resting in the dormitory is definitely not asfortable as home. It¡¯s also inconvenient for us to take care of you. As long as you and the baby¡¯sfort and safety are ensured, nothing else matters.¡± These past few days, Lin Yi had been thinking about this and decided to consult Han Xuewei for her opinion first. After hearing his thoughts, Han Xuewei was very puzzled and asked with a confused look, ¡°Actually, I can just take a leave of absence myself. It¡¯s convenient for you to take care of me at school!¡± Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly after hearing this and replied, ¡°How can that be possible? I wish I could be by your side every day! Besides, I want to present a united front with my wife. We¡¯ll take a break together, and then we can graduate together. Later on, we can bring our babies to the graduation ceremony. How about that?¡± ¡°Mm, hubby, you¡¯re so good to me.¡± Han Xuewei buried her head in Lin Yi¡¯s chest, her face brimming with a happy smile. Just at this moment, Lin Yi¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was a call from Aunt Wang. ¡°Ah Yi, I¡¯d like to take some time off. I have to go home for a couple of days. My son and his fianc¨¦e areing to see me. Will you and Vivi be alright? I¡¯m still a bit worried. I will be back soon.¡± Lin Yi said, ¡°Aunt Wang, please go home without worrying! Vivi and I will definitely be fine. Stay a bit longer this time, we will need your help even more in the future.¡± Aunt Wang: ¡°Then take good care of Vivi. Have her pay more attention to her health. If you have any questions, just ask me anytime. I didn¡¯t have time to cook today, so you two should grab something to eat before heading back!¡± ¡°Alright! Aunt Wang, have a safe trip!¡± After finishing the call, Lin Yi kissed Han Xuewei¡¯s forehead and said affectionately, ¡°Honey, Aunt Wang has some family matters to attend to and needs to head back. It looks like I¡¯ll be a full-time husband these days! I¡¯ll take good care of you. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯re satisfied with every meal! Let¡¯s go buy some of your favorite food!¡± Han Xuewei, linking arms with Lin Yi, nodded and said, ¡°Mm! Let¡¯s go grocery shopping!¡± Life is just like that, a couple together through daily meals and seasons. For Lin Yi, there was nothing more blissful than this! The young couple hailed a taxi and headed to the supermarket closest to their home. Thanks to living in the upscale Xiangcheng district, they had ess to very well-appointed infrastructure nearby. The supermarket and shopping centers near their home were among the best in Xiangcheng. Since they usually didn¡¯t do much grocery shopping, they just browsed casually, trying to pick out the freshest ingredients. As soon as they entered the supermarket, they headed for the fresh meat section, determining what the main dish of the day would be before choosing the side dishes, and then they would buy some fruits and snacks. Faced with an array of products, the two of them discussed their options. ¡°Here we have Ribeye steaks. I¡¯ll cook steaks for you!¡± Lin Yi said as he picked out a few from the steak section. ¡°Anything is fine¡­ after all, it¡¯s you who¡¯s cooking, hubby. I love whatever you make.¡± Han Xuewei revealed a serene smile. After they picked the steaks, they chose a Jiangtuan fish, as Lin Yi nned to make a paper-wrapped fish for his wife that evening. Having chosen some of Han Xuewei¡¯s favorite side dishes, Lin Yi was ready to take his wife home. But at this moment, Han Xuewei suddenly grabbed Lin Yi¡¯s arm with some anticipation, ¡°Wait, husband!¡± ¡°We¡¯re already living in our new house, but there are still many necessities that we¡¯re missing. Why don¡¯t we go to the dedicated area and pick out somemon household items? I want you to help me choose.¡± Lin Yi was slightly puzzled after hearing this, thinking to himself that his parents had already purchased things like toothpaste and chopsticks a few days ago. Could there be anything else they werecking? Actually, Lin Yi didn¡¯t really care what they bought. He was just curious about what Han Xuewei had said. Since he was idle anyway, he might as well go shopping with his wife. Plus, as long as he could apany his wife, he was willing to do anything. Without giving it much thought, he readily agreed, ¡°Sure! Then I¡¯ll go with you and pick out some household items.¡± And so, the two of them walked slowly towards the household section. Han Xuewei immediately picked out a pair of slippers with a strange design and asked Lin Yi with a smile, ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Yi found it strange, thinking they were men¡¯s slippers! Why would she choose men¡¯s slippers? Could it be because she was worried that her figure would change during thest few months of pregnancy and that regr slippers would be ufortable? But that still didn¡¯t justify buying men¡¯s slippers directly! Wasn¡¯t that a bit too exaggerated? Just as Lin Yi was filled with doubts and about to ask. He heard Han Xuemei say with a smile, ¡°I think they look really nice, and you would look good wearing them!¡± Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment and said, ¡°Me wear them? But I already have slippers.¡± Han Xuewei, however, was excited and continued enthusiastically, ¡°Take a look at this pair. It¡¯s suitable for both of us to wear. My taste isn¡¯t bad, right? I want to wear the same as you, so we both have to match!¡± When it came to couple items, Han Xuewei also had a whim toe and check them out. Of course, apart from slippers for daily use at home, they also had couple¡¯s pajamas, mugs, and even hoodies for going out, among other things. Indeed, it could further close the gap between them and make the young couple seem even more loving! Plus, after their three babies were born, the family of five would also need matching outfits! Just thinking about it made Han Xuewei uncontrobly excited! At this point, Lin Yi also understood his wife¡¯s little idea, and of course, he was fully supportive of her suggestion! Following that, Han Xuewei picked out another pair of slippers that looked rather pink and girly with a hint of light blue trim, asking, ¡°Husband, I think this pair is so pretty! Plus, I really like pink with light blue.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she began to pout her lips, seemingly not quite satisfied. Lin Yi was amused by this scene and let her choose as she pleased! In the end, he wasn¡¯t particr, whatever his wife chose, he would use! Indeed, using some couple items in life could greatly enhance their rtionship. ¡°The pink series isn¡¯t bad, at least I can ept it. If you really like it, then we¡¯ll just wear this from now on!¡± After hearing this, Han Xuewei looked at him in surprise and asked, ¡°Ah? Husband, are you really willing to wear it?¡± Chapter 27 - 27 Pink Slippers Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Pink Slippers Lin Yi shrugged nonchntly and said, ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s just to wear at home. I don¡¯t have to wear it out every day, so as long as it¡¯s chosen by my wife, I will dly ept it!¡± Han Xuewei¡¯s expression instantly became very joyful, ¡°I knew it, you are the best, hubby!¡± Lin Yi, of course, loved hearing his wife¡¯s praise; his heart swelled with pride every time he heard it. After that, the two of them went to the clothing section and carefully picked out matching couple¡¯s hoodies for going out. Then, things got out of control. From toothbrushes and water cups to pajamas and underwear, the young couple almostpletely switched to matching couple¡¯s items. Seeing the smile on his wife¡¯s face, Lin Yi felt very content. After all, as a man, this was the first time he had gone shopping with a woman other than his mother! Even Lin Yi himself felt that this was the first time he had been so patient while shopping with a woman. After about two hours of shopping, their cart was almost full, and the couple pushed it to the self-checkout area. Scan to payplete! Just as theypleted the checkout, the system notification chimed in again! ¡°Ding! Congrattions, host. The hidden task of taking your wife to the mall has beenpleted. You will now receive double the amount of your bill! Please sign for it!¡± The next second, Lin Yi¡¯s phone received a text message! Good Lord! It¡¯s the rhythm of spending a thousand to get back two thousand! This hidden task is really cool! Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but wonder, will he ever be able to spend all this money? When Lin Yi walked out of the supermarket carrying loads of stuff, he finally realized that their family urgently needed a car! After leaving the supermarket, the two noticed it was alreadyte, even past lunchtime, and it was almost 2 p.m., so the n to go home and cook was clearly not feasible anymore. Therefore, the young couple went to a nearby Chinese restaurant, had a quick meal, and then nned to go back home for a beauty sleep! So, until the sun set, Han Xuewei was still immersed in her dreams, while Lin Yi got up early, nning to make a romantic candlelight dinner for his wife with the ingredients they bought today! Lin Yi busied himself in the kitchen alone,pletely unaware that Han Xuewei, at some point, had already changed into the matching couple¡¯s outfit they bought today and was now in the kitchen. ¡°Honey, does this matching couple¡¯s outfit we bought today fit me well?¡± Urged by his wife, Lin Yi slipped on the pair of pink and blue matching slippers. This was his first time wearing slippers of these colors, and he felt somewhat unustomed to it at first. He indeed hadn¡¯t expected to ever use anything pink in his life. The wife was clearly satisfying her girlish dreams! Lin Yi obediently put on the matching couple¡¯s outfit and pinched Han Xuewei¡¯s cheek, which was pink with excitement, ¡°My wife looks good in anything! I¡¯ve never tried this color before! Isn¡¯t it too pinkish?¡± Seeing the slightly strange color, the couple couldn¡¯t help butugh. After all, Lin Yi was a man of staunch straight-forwardness; who would have thought that he would one day be wearing clothes in shades of pink! Thinking about it, although strange, was indeed very warm and cozy! Believing that one of life¡¯s greatest happinesses is to live and eat with the person you love, wearing couple outfits and experiencing life together! Han Xuewei had been a bit nervous before, worrying that Lin Yi wouldn¡¯t wear the pink slippers! But unexpectedly, her husband had changed into them without any hesitation, so warmth flooded her heart as well. Han Xuewei also noticed the savory aroma drifting from the kitchen and asked with widened eyes, ¡°Darling, what¡¯s this delicious smell? It smells so good!¡± ¡°This is the candlelight dinner I made especially for you. It¡¯s only partly ready. Go and do something else for now, and I¡¯ll call you to eat in twenty minutes!¡± ¡°Wife, how done do you want your steak? These marinated steaks cook quickly¡ªit¡¯s the highlight of tonight¡¯s dinner.¡± Moreover, Lin Yi had already prepared a corn and radish pork bone soup that was about to be served. This soup with nourishing effects was very nutritious and was often made by Aunt Wang. Half the sd was already prepared. Now all that was left was to wait for the soup to be served, fry two steaks, and the candlelight dinner would be a great sess! It was undeniable that this system of his was simply incredible, enabling him to easily learn high-level cooking! Now, give him any ingredient and he could create delicious dishes! It was just like cheating! Lin Yi, with one hand holding the sd bowl and the other gently pushing his wife out of the kitchen, kept saying, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything right now, go watch TV! Don¡¯te in while I¡¯m cooking, okay? The fumes from frying the steaks are strong, and that could be bad for your health or even make you nauseous. Just wait for me to call you to eat!¡± Thus, Han Xuewei was pushed by her husband onto the couch and forced to start watching TV as Lin Yi alone headed to the kitchen, as if heading into battle! About fifteen minutester, everything was ready! Lin Yi brought all the dishes to the table, and of course, Han Xuewei couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of the aroma and hurried over to the dining table! ¡°This is fantastic! It smells so good!¡± Han Xuewei immediately locked her gaze on the two pieces of steak on the table, full of admiration! No wonder her husband had been so secretive and hadn¡¯t let her help. He was preparing thisvish dinner! For a moment, her eyes brimmed with tears, emotionally saying, ¡°Dear, you are really too good to me!¡± ¡°I suddenly realize that I am really so lucky! I married a husband who loves me deeply!¡± Lin Yi, smiling, stroked her forehead and softly replied, ¡°All right! I know! You have to eat even if you love me! Wait for me for a moment, and I¡¯ll bring thest dish!¡± Once they took their seats, Lin Yi thoughtfully cut the steak for his wife, ceremoniously lit the candle, and then brought out a bottle of red wine. ¡°Wife, I won¡¯t pour you any red wine, okay? After all, you are pregnant now¡ªjust drink this warm lemon water! Here¡¯s a toast to our beautiful life!¡± Han Xuewei picked up the lemon water and toasted to a happy life! ¡°I will love you well and fulfill my duties as a wife¡ªcheers!¡± Lin Yi, looking at the dishes on the table,ughed and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been waiting for a long time, haven¡¯t you? My little glutton must be impatient by now¡ªlet¡¯s dig in!¡± Han Xuewei, chuckling, replied, ¡°That¡¯s because my husband¡¯s cooking skills are amazing! Darling, do you know? The food you make is even tastier than that of a five-star hotel!¡± Chapter 28 - 28 Candlelight Dinner Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Candlelight Dinner Lin Yi was of course very happy after being encouraged by his wife, and with joy in his heart, heughed and said, ¡°Alright, alright! I¡¯ve heard you say it so many times. Let¡¯s dig in!¡± Han Xuewei looked at the table full of delicious dishes and couldn¡¯t wait either, after all, who could resist such avish feast! She really couldn¡¯t control her appetite anymore! The two of them didn¡¯t exchange another word and started eating! Han Xuewei tasted each dish and couldn¡¯t stop praising them, not even taking time to talk. After enjoying their meal and wine, Han Xuewei gathered all the bowls and chopsticks, ready to wash them, but Lin Yi quickly interjected, ¡°Wife! How can you do such chores? You are pregnant now! Which husband in the world would sit idly by and watch their wife, with a big belly, do the dishes!¡± ¡°Be good! Listen to me. Now, all you need to do each day is rest, and leave the rest to your husband!¡± While they were talking, Lin Yi pushed Han Xuewei in front of the TV and onto the couch, and even peeled an orange for her. It had to be said, Han Xuewei was really being spoiled like a pampered little wife! Her heart was incredibly excited. She couldn¡¯t help but gaze at the matching couple¡¯s slippers they both wore! The scene looked incredibly lovely! It was in this moment that Han Xuewei¡¯s happiness soared through the roof! She felt like the happiest person in the world! As she thought about this, Han Xuewei¡¯s tears almost spilled over! It felt like every day with Lin Yi brought different surprises! She knew how lucky she was to have a man like this in marriage¡ªwhat happiness! There were too many husbands who neglected their families after marriage, not willing to even do household chores, let alone cook a good meal like Lin Yi! Just as Lin Yi had settled Han Xuewei on the couch, the system in his mind chimed in again! ¡°Ding! Congrattions to the host! By pampering your wife and increasing her happiness, you have sessfully earned a reward of two hundred thousand!¡± As soon as the voice ended, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated twice. Good gracious!!! Is this even possible? A reward just for increasing my wife¡¯s happiness? So this is how it works! Alright, I¡¯m beginning to get familiar with this system inside of me! The next morning, Lin Yi gave up the chance to sleep in and climbed out of bed with enthusiasm! After a simple wash, he started preparing a loving breakfast in the kitchen. Only after he finished, did he go to the bedroom and wake Han Xuewei, and by then it was already half past eight. From the parenting knowledge he had crammed, he knew that it was best for expectant mothers to have breakfast before nine o¡¯clock, which is beneficial for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. So he purposely set the time, waking Han Xuewei at half past eight. But before he could enter Han Xuewei¡¯s bedroom, she herself pushed the door open. Perhaps it was because she drank too much lemon water yesterday and went to bed quite early, so she naturally woke up early in the morning and went to the bathroom. The couple exchanged nces at the bedroom door and bothughed. At first, Han Xuewei always avoided going to the bathroom in front of her husband. Though they were married, there was still a bit of unfamiliarity, and some things should be approached with caution. But after so many days of affectionate togetherness, their rtionship had grown stronger by the day, practically bing inseparable. Thus, Han Xuewei didn¡¯t mind going bare-faced and encountering her husband face-to-face. After a quick freshening up, the two of them sat down together at the dining table for breakfast. As soon as they finished eating, Lin Yi¡¯s mobile vibrated once more, notifying him that he had received a reward for doting on his wife! Lin Yi couldn¡¯t have been happier. Taking care of his wife was naturally his duty, yet now he was being rewarded for doing what should be done¡ªit couldn¡¯t get any better! ¡°Dear wife, it seems we don¡¯t have other ns today, why don¡¯t we go choose a car?¡± Lin Yi asked softly. ¡°But I can¡¯t give you any good advice. I don¡¯t know much about cars, I can¡¯t even recognize the models¡­¡± Han Xuewei hesitated. ¡°No problem, as long as you think the interior is nice and it¡¯sfortable to sit in, let¡¯s buy it! We¡¯re not short on money!¡± Hearing this, Han Xueweiughed and teased, ¡°Listen to you, buy it if it¡¯sfortable? We don¡¯t even know if we have enough money. What if I pick one that costs tens of millions? What then?¡± ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. Of course, we¡¯ll buy it! As long as my wife likes it, we must have it! If really necessary, we can just take out a loan!¡± Lin Yi said generously. Worth tens of millions? If his wife liked it, then he must buy it, especially since he could afford it! ¡°A loan? That won¡¯t do. I¡¯ve heard that the interest on car loans is extremely high,¡± Han Xuewei said as she shook her head repeatedly. She knew that Lin Yi¡¯s family was wealthy, but money still needed to be saved. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to pick a car today! We don¡¯t need to buy anything too expensive, something economical will do. We¡¯re only going to use it for transportation, so we don¡¯t have high requirements, how does that sound?¡± She wasn¡¯t aware of how much her husband had in savings, but then again, they were both university students and buying their house must have cost a lot. Not to mention, his family¡¯s business wasn¡¯t doing well, so they wouldn¡¯t have much saved. The sensible Han Xuewei naturally didn¡¯t have high demands for a car. In her view, a car was merely a means of transportation; excessive luxury served no benefit. Practicality andfort were sufficient. Lin Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this and then said, ¡°I¡¯ll listen to my wife, so I wanted to take you with me to help me decide, to consider your opinion! Otherwise, I might get carried away and buy something too expensive, which wouldn¡¯t be good.¡± ¡°After much consideration, I n to buy three cars at once, one for the two of us, one with more space for the nanny, and thest one as a dedicated shopping car for Aunt Wang. Considering this, the budget should be a few million, right?¡± ¡°That much? Hubby, three cars would need at least two million, right? You¡¯ve made such a huge budget? I really think you are so good at making money!¡± Han Xuewei was genuinely surprised after hearing this. How could an average family just decide to pick up cars on the spur of the moment? Especially three at once! Buying a car isn¡¯t a trivial matter; routine maintenance and various insurances are significant expenses. This is about three cars! The monthly expenses could easily run into several thousand yuan! And Lin Yi had actually prepared such arge budget to buy cars? Han Xuewei was also puzzled, wondering how much would be left after purchasing the cars. If all the money was used up in the beginning, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to raise a child! The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 29: 29: Picking Up My Beloved Car You should know, there are three babies in her belly! In today''s society, raising just one child is a lot of pressure, what with countless invisible expenses, not to mention triplets! Seeing the astonishment written all over Han Xuemei''s cheeks, Lin Yiughed and then said, "You don''t have to worry about these things at all, wife. Your husband can afford this money, and besides, our family really isn''t short on cash!" "Let''s head out now! If possible, we''ll pick up the car today, choose a good one and drive it right off the lot! Without a vehicle for transportation, it''s really too inconvenient! We spend quite a lot of time on the road every day, having a car would make things a bit easier!" Han Xuewei couldn''t help but smile seeing how excited her husband got at the mention of buying a car. It seems that men are very interested in buying cars! It''s like they have endless things to say as soon as cars are mentioned. Maybe every man has a dream of driving his ideal car in his heart! Seeing his dream about toe true, such emotions are truly rtable! With that, Lin Yi took his wife out, and the two of them went directly to the most famous dealership in Xiangcheng - Lao You Dealership. Lin Yi had checked all the car dealerships in Xiangchengst night and found that this Lao You Dealership had a very good reputation. They had all sorts of models, from sedans to SUVs, be it domestic, joint-venture, or even imported cars, so he was confident that buying a car here would be the right choice! Moreover, he had researched many models yesterday, and today he mainly wanted to experience the test drive effects! And the selection of interiors, as well as thefort level for his wife, had to be experienced in person for them to make a choice. After all, his current bnce was in the tens of millions! Unless he customized every singleponent inside and out, his savings would be more than sufficient! "Husband, did you pick out any model yesterday?" Upon arriving at Lao You Dealership, this couple faced a dazzling array of car brands and for a moment, were a bit overwhelmed by the choices. Han Xuewei especially, who had never looked into car brands before and had just gotten her driver''s license, was unfamiliar with some of the brands she saw! Lin Yi smiled and said to her, "You pick first. If you see something you like, we can take it straight away!" Most of the cars in this dealership were mid-priced, not very expensive. Given the savings he had now, it wouldn''t be an issue to pick up several million-dor cars all at once, so his confidence was understandably high. As soon as his wife liked one, they would take it! Seeing her husband''s generous attitude, Han Xuewei didn''t think too much and started to take her selection seriously. Choosing the general type of car by herself should be fine, right? As for the price, it was just a few hundred thousand, as long as it didn''t exceed the budget. From the budget her husband had prepared in advance, cars in the few-hundred-thousand range werepletely fine. After looking around for a while, Han Xuewei stopped in the BMW section and casually pointed to a BMW Mini next to her. "If we''re going to get a nanny car in the future, then I should choose something more moderately priced. A car like this would also be more convenient to drive around." Indeed, this BMW Mini model was particrly suitable for women, and parking it around town was convenient as well. Moreover, Han Xuewei wasn''t too picky about cars; the most she would do was to take the kids out for fun, so this car was more than enough to meet their needs. "Isn''t that model a bit too small? I don''t think it''s quite right. When we have three children, asionally taking them out or going to the mall to shop, the space in this car won''t be enough. Let''s pick one with a bigger space!" The salesperson, listening in on the couple''s conversation, couldn''t help but light up; it looked like they hadnded a big client today! Suddenly energized, the salesperson started introducing more suitable models with greater earnestness. They showed the couple almost every brand avable. After pondering for a moment, Han Xuewei finally spoke without a second thought, "Some cars look cool, but they don''t seem right for us. Let''s pick something that looks more low-key! I think the Mercedes GLB is not bad." After several selections, Han Xuewei ultimately settled on this model, feeling that it appeared quite imposing yet remained subdued. Compared to various sports cars, this was the most suitable choice. Han Xuewei was just that type of person. As the beauty of the school, she was very low-key on a regr basis. The top-level configuration of this car she had chosen was only in the four-hundred-thousands, and it felt quitefortable to sit in. Lin Yi was still pondering something and then said, "Wife, this price is a bit low. I wanted to choose a car over a million for you. The interior would be more luxurious, the ride morefortable, do you want to pick again?" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no, husband, I don''t want to look anymore. I''m a bit tired after walking for so long, let''s just go with this one!" As soon as he heard his wife say she was tired, Lin Yi hurried forward to support her, worrying about her getting fatigued, with a look of concern he asked, "Wife, are you alright? Then let''s not shop anymore and just go with the car you liked! I''ve chosen a car with a lot of space, considering we have to take our whole family out for fun! I''ll go with the Land Rover Range Rover Sport!" "We''ll get a BMW Mini for Aunt Wang, as you were looking at earlier. You can also drive it out for fun sometimes, and it''s pretty convenient for everyday travel." Han Xuewei was surprised and said, "Huh? Are we really going to buy three cars at once? But you said we''re also getting a car for the nanny, isn''t this spending a bit too much?" Lin Yi just smiled faintly,forting her, "This expense is manageable. After all, this money isn''t being wasted, it''s all for improving the quality of our daily life, it''s okay." Upon hearing this, the salesperson''s eyes nearly bulged out of their head! Good grief! They had nearly met their sales target for the month! They had never imagined someone woulde in and buy three cars at once! Who wouldn''t be thrilled? With enthusiasm, the salesperson invited Lin Yi and his wife to the VIP room to process the paperwork and even brewed them a pot of fine Longjing tea! Lin Yi, of course, knew that his pregnant wife shouldn''t drink tea, so he got her a ss of water instead. The salesperson brought the materials and started to tally them up. "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, what configurations were you looking at for the cars you just selected?" Lin Yi didn''t even need to think about it and confidently said, "Of course, the top configurations would be best. We came for the experience, so equip them all with top specs." Lin Yi had actually nned this all along; the three cars werepletely different models, suitable for their family of five plus their nanny, Aunt Wang, to travel infort. Chapter 30: 30: Return Twice the Amount? "Okay, Mr. Lin!" After speaking, the salesperson opened the calctor and began to calcte the full-equipped prices of the three models. "First is the BMW Mini, the top configuration is priced at 370,000; the Mercedes GLB top configuration at 400,000; the Range Rover Sport you selected, fully equipped, requires 1.9 million, totaling 2.67 million." "Mr. Lin, this price..." The salesperson turned to Lin Yi after finishing the calction, trying hard to suppress his excited tone. If this deal was made, hismission would be substantial! It wasn''t an exaggeration to say that themission alone could afford him a new car! It must be said, when this couple first walked in, the salesperson didn''t think they would go for high-priced cars, as they were dressed simply and seemed to be here for cost-effective models. But unexpectedly, they went straight for three cars without a second thought! The total value was nearly 3 million! "Does your dealership have any promotions?" Although Lin Yi had plenty of money, he wasn''t one to waste it and naturally knew such high prices could be squeezed. Besides, haggling is quite normal when shopping! The wealthier the person, the more meticulous they are. Those who don''t bargain are the real nouveau riche or tycoons! On the topic of promotional policies, the salesperson didn''t have much authority, so he immediately went out to invite the manager. As soon as the manager learned that a major customer had arrived, he dropped his work right away and quickly followed the salesperson to the VIP room. Upon entering, he greeted the couple with a smile stered on his face. "Mr. Lin, the total price for the three models you''ve picked today is a bit high. Are you nning to pay in full or choose to finance?" "I''ll pay in full," Lin Yi replied calmly. The three cars totaled just over 2 million, and he had more than enough in his ount to cover them without needing to finance. After hearing this, the manager, with a standard smile, courteously said, "Our dealership is offering substantial discounts at the moment. Since you''ve chosen the high-end models, and since you''re such a good customer, we won''t be stingy. We''ll give you a direct discount of 100,000, a total of 2.57 million. Can you ept this price?" Wow! A one-off discount of 100,000! The profit margins in the automobile industry must be really high! After hearing this, Lin Yi couldn''t help but be tempted, though he continued to maintain a cool demeanor. He turned his attention to Han Xuewei, asking, "Wife, can you ept this price?" Han Xuewei was initially stunned by the total quoted price for the three cars, not expecting them to be so expensive! This price seemed a bit too high... "This... I''m fine with it! Husband, I''ll go with your decision," Han Xuewei said, still in shock and also extremely impressed that Lin Yi could afford to buy cars in such a manner. After all, in her view, there weren''t many who could go to a dealership and pick up three cars at once, let alone young people like her husband! To put it non-exaggeratively, this should count as young and sessful, right? "Is there any other paperwork that needs to be done? I want to drive one of the cars away today," Lin Yi sincerely looked at the manager. "As long as you swipe your card and sign this contract, you can take the car immediately!" thetter replied with a smile. "Let''s process it now! My wife shouldn''t stay out too long; we need to go back and rest," Lin Yi said calmly as he took out his bank card. After all the paperwork was done and the card had been swiped, a notification tone from the system echoed in Lin Yi''s mind! "Ding, congrattions to the host! You have sessfully picked up a car for your wife and child! The expenses for today''s car purchase will be returned to you double!" Lin Yi was momentarily startled when he heard the news. Good Lord! His blood pressure instantly skyrocketed! Such good news, why didn''t you say it earlier? Double the return? Is there really such a good deal? If he had known about the double return earlier, he would have specifically chosen the more expensive options to buy! Look at themotion this has caused! A momentter, Lin Yi received a text message notification, informing him that the amount for the double return had been deposited into his ount. That was over five million! About an hourter, all the paperwork was sorted out, and Lin Yi was directly driving the top-of-the-line Range Rover Sport he had selected. The other two cars would be delivered to his house by the dealership staffter. When the couple returned home, Han Xuewei hadn''t snapped out of her surprise yet. A car worth millions, and they just got in it like that? Howe it feels so effortless, as if this is all a dream? Is this the lifestyle of the wealthy? Han Xuewei couldn''t help asking, "Husband, I never realized you were so rich before!" Up to this point, her life still felt like a dream, having married such a money-making husband, living in a 400-square-meter mansion, and having three cars delivered to their home at once! And ording to what Lin Yi said on the way home, there was still a deposit of tens of millions in their bank ount! "Just focus on taking care of your pregnancy. You don''t need to worry about anything else, especially money matters. Just tell me if we''re ever short on cash," Lin Yi said, his voice involuntarily lowering as he spoke, since after all, the money was easily obtained from the system, which made him feel somewhat guilty. Lin Yi realized at this moment that he urgently needed to find a proper upation to make his savings seem legitimate. Now all he could say to others was that he made some money from investing before, but as for what specifically he invested in and how, he really couldn''t say. For now, he just had to make do with vague responses verbally. After listening, Han Xuewei nodded and said, "Don''t worry, husband, I trust you! I also trust that I haven''t misjudged you, you must be a very capable husband!" With that, she stepped forward and hugged Lin Yi tightly. The man before her was her husband, as well as the father of the three children in her belly; no matter what, she would stand by Lin Yi''s side. In a few days, they would have to visit the hospital for another prenatal checkup. Aunt Wang, upon returning home, twisted her foot due to fatigue, rendering her movement inconvenient. To recover better, she had no choice but to take two weeks off until her legs were well enough for her to return to work. Lin Yi didn''t have much to be busy with each day; his primary task was taking care of his wife. However, in his spare time, he had already started considering hiring a maternity matron and a nanny for after his wife gave birth. With three babies on the way, the household was sure to be hectic, making a nanny and a maternity matron necessary. Besides, with his significant savings, spending on his wife and children was only natural and right. One morning, Lin Yi got out of bed early and went straight into the kitchen. Chapter 31: 31 Another Prenatal Check-up As always, he prepared breakfast and then went to wake Han Xuewei up. Lin Yi had noticed in the past few days that his wife''s love for sleep had grown even worse; if she wasn''t woken up in the morning, she might sleep all the way until noon! Moreover, his wife would asionally act like a child and was quite dependent on him. After all, his wife was still a young girl, so he could tolerate all her little tantrums. The most important thing for an expectant mother during pregnancy is care, which Lin Yi, understanding this well, provided to his wife without a trace of negligence. In just a few days at home, Lin Yi had received a system reward for his meticulous care for his wife and child, amounting to a total of three million. By this calction, the savings in his ount were about to break through the twenty million mark! This also brought him a continuous motivation to care for his wife and child. He had already done the math in his heart; earning money was now most important. Not to mention the expenses for the three children as they grew up, just the cost of baby form and diapers alone was a significant investment! Not to mention hiring a nanny and maternity matron¡ªeach month that''d cost quite a bit as well! Of course, having just one nanny was undoubtedly not enough! Just by doing the math, one could tell this expense was substantial! In this day and age, raising children really is something that piles up money! Only grown-ups know how embarrassing it is to be penniless! After hastily finishing breakfast, Lin Yi drove his wife to the hospital; by now she was six months pregnant and it was obviously harder for her to walk, her waistline had grown quite a bit from two weeks ago. They had made an appointment for an ultrasound today to check on the fetal heartbeat. Lin Yi carefully supported his wife, truly afraid that she would feel the slightest difort. It would have been even more inconvenient if they hade to the hospital in the first or second month of the early morning. Han Xuewei also carefully protected her swelling belly. Her waistline was nearly the same as someone who was eight months pregnant, making her feel very ufortable when walking. She could even predict that when she reached eight months, going out might be a problem! Weren''t the signs of pregnancy with triplets way too obvious?! In fact, more than this, Han Xuewei''s biggest concern was whether there would be any dangers when she gave birth to these three babies? After all, there are many unforeseen situations during childbirth, especially for a mom like her who is expecting triplets at once. Han Xuewei''s worries were not superfluous, seeing as it was her first pregnancy, and every mother must psychologically ovee this difficult barrier. Faced with all the unknowns, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but hold her husband''s hand tightly. The couple arrived at the door of the ultrasound room and were soon called in by a nurse. The consulting doctor was still the one who had examined Han Xuewei a few days ago. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Han Xueweiy down quietly waiting for the examination. Lin Yi also stood by, obediently. The doctor was also very careful with the probe, aiming it at Han Xuewei''s belly. As the probe moved back and forth, Lin Yi had already taken out his camera and started recording a video at the side. He wanted to use this camera to personally document each and every beautiful moment from the prenatal check-ups to the children''s growth and create a video collection. This way, it would be a very, very precious memory for both him and the children when they looked back on this video in the future! "The babies are developing very well, they are so obedient!" the doctor, after staring at the screen for a long while, said softly. "Let''s give your body a check to see, what is this little one hiding in the corner doing?" the doctor asked Han Xuemei to lie on her side, then ced another instrument against her belly. At that moment, a strong, rhythmic heartbeat sound emitted from the equipment in front of them. It sounded vigorous and was incredibly melodious. This heartbeat was clearer and stronger than the one Lin Yi had heard a few days ago with the fetal heart monitor he had purchased. Both husband and wife felt a surge of joy in their hearts. "This heartbeat is from the baby on the far left... Listen, this one is from the baby in the middle..." the doctor gently moved the probe, whispering to them. It was as if making any loud noise would startle the three children. "Thest baby is the shyest, always hiding in the corner, so the sound is a bit soft," the doctor said, diligently moving the probe and continuously applying coupling gel in an attempt to hear more clearly. "There it is! That''s the sound..." After a moment, the doctor finally found the optimal angle. The heartbeat became much clearer. "Hmm, you can rest easy now, all three babies are very healthy! Their heart rates are very steady." As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he picked up another probe and, smiling, said to the couple, "Now let''s check the developmental state of the three babies. Their limbs are very clear now!" But as the probe kept moving, the corresponding images appeared on the screen, showing the babies sleeping quietly in the amniotic fluid. The doctor had Han Xuemei turn slightly, and after some searching, a baby''s cheek finally appeared on the screen. "Look quickly, the nose is already very clear, it looks like a baby with a high bridge of the nose! Very much like your husband!" Lin Yi, standing by, was earnestly taking a video. Hearing what the doctor said, he couldn''t help but smile, his heart filled with irrepressible joy, yet he dared not speak. He didn''t want to miss a second of the recording; he wanted to capture every moment perfectly! After all, these videos would be the most precious memories in the future! "Both of you have high attractiveness, I believe the babies that are born will also be very cute." No sooner had the doctor spoken than Han Xuewei felt a kick from the baby in her stomach! The doctor holding the probe also felt a tremor. She couldn''t help but smile and said, "The little one can hear us talking!" After a simple examination, the young couple sessfully received the printed results. Since Han Xuewei had been there for check-ups before, the doctor was very familiar with her condition. In fact, all the doctors in the department now recognized Han Xuewei. It''s rare to see triplets, after all! The doctor responsible for the prenatal examination was named Sun, and Dr. Sun took out the printed report, studied it, and began to exin it carefully to the couple. "You must be very tired, right, Mommy? It''s good to persist, and fortunately, the babies'' development is going well now, but you need to pay more attention to your diet, focusing on light foods, as what you eat now will directly affect the baby''s weight. If they be too heavy, it will greatly impact your daily life." "Especially sugary desserts with a lot of energy, it''s best not to eat them." Chapter 32: 32 I Love Only You "There are still many things to be aware of. Now that you''re at this stage, if you feel tired every day, you don''t need to exercise anymore. Let''s skip the post-meal walks too. It''s time to start thinking about the delivery. It''s best to book a private hospital bed in advance because the triplets are likely to be born by cesarean section. When the timees, you can juste straight to the hospital." "Your abdominal circumference will continue to grow, and your belly will get even bigger. Natural childbirth is not good for both the baby and mother. So you need to be mentally prepared." Lin Yi was worried about this very thing, and after hearing the doctor''s advice, he decisively booked a private delivery room in advance. After all, with a big family and many people, he had to provide the mostfortable rest environment for his wife and babies. Han Xuewei just sat there silently, patiently waiting for her husband toplete the procedures. She now had trouble even walking, and would get tired if she moved around too much. Aside from resting, she refrained from thinking about anything else. Hearing what the doctor had just said, it seemed like the hard times were still ahead! If she gave birth to the three babies by cesarean section, there would be a long scar on her stomach, and maybe even stretch marks! They say those are very ugly and that the skin on the stomachpletely loses its sticity. Moreover, giving birth to triplets might have greater side effects than just having one child! Thinking of all these unpleasant things, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but sigh and her eyes began to well up with tears. At this moment, she wondered, what if her husband started to despise her because of these things? Han Xuewei also suddenly realized that she had been having some strange thoughtstely, always considering her husband and child''s well-being. The more she thought, the sourer her heart felt, and her nose stinged with emotion. Han Xuewei was even a bit worried that she might be suffering from what is called depression, which she heard is most likely to ur postpartum. That''s why she was being very careful in everything she did. When Lin Yi finished the procedures and came back to her, Han Xuewei shared her thoughts with her husband. He too was very concerned upon hearing this. This was definitely an issue that needed attention! Fortunately, Han Xuewei had shared her worries, otherwise, having her dwell on these problems alone could have indeed led to depression. Lin Yi began to reflect on his behavior as well, realizing that in recent days, he had been overly concerned with the babies in the womb, possibly neglecting his wife''s feelings. It was clear that he needed to change. His wife was the most important, and while taking good care of the three children, he needed to keep her at the center and care more about her feelings. Lin Yiforted his wife with great care, whispering, "Wife, please be assured, I will always love you just like now! How could I despise you? You''ve been so good to me, even made me a father. If I did despise you, everyone would condemn me! That kind of behavior would be utterly inhumane, wouldn''t it?" "Husband will continue to dote on you as always, I won''t allow you to think of these things anymore! Don''t worry, in this lifetime, I only love you! Also, the car we bought is registered in your name, and tomorrow I will add your name to the property deed as well. And let''s sign an agreement that if I ever do anything bad to you, I will leave with nothing! Not a single penny!" Han Xuewei immediately covered Lin Yi''s mouth with her hand, stopping him from saying more. "Don''t say such things, I''ve never thought about any of this. Maybe I''m just... thinking too much for a moment; there''s no need for you to worry too much." "Then I''ll stop talking about it, wife. You now need to pay attention to rest properly and can''t have these negative thoughts anymore! I need to give you enough sense of security. How could I disregard you when you''re about to give birth to our three lovely babies?! I would never do something so outrageous!" Lin Yi consoled her with a concerned look on his face, fearing even the slightest instability in his wife''s emotions! After all, depression is no joke, especially when a pregnant woman suffers from it. Whether before or after birth, it''s very detrimental to both mother and baby! Lin Yi still had a lifetime to spend with his wife. How could he bear to let her suffer the torment of illness? About a few dayster, Lin Yi''s parents, as well as Han Xuewei''s parents, rushed over to apany the couple. The parents also discussed taking care of the formalities for the couple to take a leave of absence from school since the school required parents to handle the procedures, and Han Xuewei, with her pregnant belly, was already finding it inconvenient to go out. The leave of absence was arranged for one year, so after the baby was born, Han Xuewei could have a peaceful postpartum confinement period, and the couple could spend a few more months with their child. A few dayster, Aunt Wang also recovered from her foot injury and came back early to take care of them. Life for the couple became much morefortable. Now, the big family was thoroughly reunited, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful with everyone together! The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Han Xuewei''s phone began to ring. She was woken up from her sleep, rubbed her bleary eyes, and slowly picked up the phone that was charging on the bedside table. The doctor had specifically instructed her to get enough sleep and to put her phone on airne mode while sleeping, but evidently, she had forgotten to do so the previous night. Looking at the screen, she saw dozens of missed calls and quite a few unread WeChat messages! Upon closer inspection, she realized that all these messages were from her college friend, Qin Xiaoxu. Feeling puzzled, Han Xuewei wondered why Qin Xiaoxu would be in such a rush to contact her so early in the morning, calling and messaging. Without overthinking it, she immediately returned the call. "Vivi! Thank goodness, I''ve finally reached you! Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Qin Xiaoxu''s excited voice came through the phone, though her tone seemed somewhat angry. Han Xuewei asked anxiously, "What''s happened? You scared me to death. Seeing that you had called me so many times, I hurriedly called you back after I saw it." On the other end of the phone, Qin Xiaoxu started yelling, "Such an important matter and I have to chase you down for it? I am very, very angry! And I don''t want to hear your exnations!" "How could there be secrets between best friends? Why didn''t you tell me right away that you were pregnant? I didn''t even know you were married!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei was also startled and asked in surprise, "You already know I''m pregnant? How did you find out?" Listening to Han Xuewei''s response, Qin Xiaoxu was so angry she could hardly contain herself. "You''ve done a great job keeping it a secret! Well, you certainly didn''t expect that someone from our school saw you going to the hospital with a man, and you even entered the ultrasound room! They also saw you wearing a diamond ring at the time!" Chapter 33: 33 Everybody Knows "I heard you two even went car shopping and bought a luxury car, right? Other students have said they''ve seen that guy! He''s from the same school as us!" "With you not returning to school for such a long time, of course, you wouldn''t know how much this has blown up! The confession wall and forums are all buzzing about you two! I heard both of you have taken a leave of absence from school!" "At first, I didn''t believe it, but then all signs began to point towards it being true! You haven''t been back to school for so long ¨C you couldn''t possibly be showing with a big belly, ready to give birth, could you?" Han Xuewei was listening to her best friend''sints while washing up, soon joining Lin Yi at the dining table for breakfast. Seeing his wife on the phone all morning, Lin Yi quietly asked, "Who is it?" He was met with his wife''s smile in response. At this time, only Lin Yi and Han Xuewei sat at the dining table. Lin Yi''s parents had stayed only a few days after helping their son with his school hiatus before returning home to prepare for handing thepany over to him, nning toe back the month before the baby''s due date. Han Xuewei''s dad also returned home due to rted matters, while her mom stayed behind with Aunt Wang to take care of her, and the two were currently off to the market to shop for groceries. Han Xuemei lowered her voice and then, with a smile, confessed to her friend on the phone, "They''re right, I''m with Lin Yi, and I''m actually almost due to give birth." Her admission left Qin Xiaoxu silent for a long while before he finally said over the phone, "You don''t mean that time you said you were going out and then didn''te back in the evening..." Han Xuewei blushed and whispered back, "Mhm." With a heavy sigh, Qin Xiaoxu pressed on, "Why the sudden marriage? Didn''t you guys have a wedding ceremony? Isn''t something missing?" Han Xuewei walked slowly to the living room and leaned against the sofa while patiently exining, "It''s not as you think. I have triplets in my tummy, so right now, I can''t exert myself; we''ll make up the wedding ceremony after the children are born. Lin Yi has promised me that we won''t miss out on anything." "Besides, we are very much in love. He really loves me a lot, so you don''t need to worry! When have I ever been at a disadvantage? The husband I chose for myself is definitely without issue," Han Xuewei confidently assured her best friend while not forgetting to nce at Lin Yi. After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help but exim, "What? You''re carrying triplets? How are you so fertile, like a little guinea pig?!" Han Xuewei, irritated by her friend''s words, retorted, "Humph, you''re the guinea pig! May all your future children be guinea pigs! My triplets are adorable! I will give birth to them no matter what!" Qin Xiaoxu replied helplessly, "s, it''s a shame, our beautiful flower has plunged into the cow dung! And you''re about to have three babies for him!! From now on, don''t hide anything from me like this again! I insist on being godmother to the three little ones!" Laughing softly, Han Xuewei said, "Speaking so poorly of Lin Yi isn''t right; I think he''s quite handsome, and indeed the type I like. He''ll make a handsome dad, and the kids will definitely be beautiful. And as for the godmother, you were always going to be it; I wouldn''t have it any other way!" Qin Xiaoxuughed and asked, "Aren''t you tired of staying at home for so long? Don''t you want to go out and have some fun? It would be nice to chat with you. If it''s inconvenient, I''lle over. By the way, did he buy you a marital home? You both are still students; surely you didn''t struggle to buy a house, right? Or did you just settle for a small ce? Especially since I heard his family''s business isn''t doing well this year, almost like they''re going bankrupt ¨C it''s not too dire, is it?" Han Xuewei replied, "Actually, it''s not really bankruptcy ¨C some people are just spreading rumors. Lin Yi used the money he earned from stock investments to buy a house, in fragrant Osmanthus Garden''s Building Nine." "The house is pretty big, our parents from both sides can move in without a problem. His parents think highly of me, especially since Lin Yi is an only child. By the way, you shoulde over to keep mepany. We can chat and catch up. I''m so bored being alone, and now with the baby growing, it''s getting harder to get around." Qin Xiaoxu was very surprised, "Xianggui Garden, Building Number Nine! Vivi, you''re not living in a vi area, are you? I''ll find time to visit you. Take good care of yourself. I want to see what a big vi is really like! And let me know if you need anything; I''ll bring some stuff for you. I will fulfill all your little wishes!" "Hmm!" "Alright, I have to get back to studying for an exam! Let''s talkter. If you get bored or upset, just send me a WeChat message, don''t let our expectant mother be alone and bored!" After chatting briefly, the two girls went back to their busy lives. After Han Xuewei hung up the phone, she looked up and noticed that Lin Yi was staring at her. "Hmm? Husband, what''s up?" Thetter replied helplessly, "I could hear every word of your conversation from all the way over here. Does the whole school know we''re married by now?" Han Xuewei nodded and answered, "I heard some students even saw us going for a prenatal checkup. And it seems like everyone is talking about us; opinions are all over the ce." Suddenly, Lin Yi asked, "So, wife, do you want everyone to know about this?" Han Xuewei looked puzzled, "Why do you suddenly ask that?" Lin Yi said, "You''ve always been the school belle, the focus of attention in our school. I''ve never had much presence there. The news about us being together is bound to have an impact on you. I''m a bit worried about you..." "Lin Yi, I won''t allow you to think like that! We''re married now, and any problems we face, we face together. Besides, I feel that being with you was the right choice. I''ve been very happy with all the time we''ve spent together! I think you''re the best choice for me!" Han Xuewei had never confessed so boldly before. As soon as she finished speaking, even her cheeks became slightly red. At that moment, the same thought crossed both their minds, and they made a deep and firm resolution... Suddenly, Lin Yi''s phone also received a message. Upon checking, it was from the dormitory group he belonged to. Lin Yi gently kissed Han Xuewei''s forehead, then took out his phone to check the message. "Lin Yi, do you guys already have a child? The whole school knows that the school belle is pregnant. You better not tell me this is just a rumor!" Chapter 34: 34 Welcoming a Close Girlfriend "Holy moly! I said Han Xueweies from a good family too, seems like they''re also loaded! A bona fide rich second generation, huh! You must have built up a ton of good karma in yourst life to have married her!" "Is that even a question? Our school''s beauty would be anything less than amazing? Not only is her family well-off, but she''s also stunning. All the good stuff falls into yourp!" "Brother Lin! I want to learn from you! How can one marry such a goddess? To marry a beauty with both brains and bucks, that''s what I call reaching the Peak of life!" "Hahahaha, I think you should save your effort, Lin Yi''s family conditions were already pretty good. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, what can you, a total loser, evenpare to him? Forget about those dreams... " "Pffft, that''s spot on, you''ve got nothing on Lin Yi." When Lin Yi saw these guys, each one tirelessly brownnosing, he was instantly speechless! Since when were these guys such experts in brownnosing? He replied in the chat group with utter calm. "I already told you guys before, we were definitely going to get married, did you all just not take it seriously? Now we are legally married, we''ve had the marriage certificate for months." Lin Yi''s words quickly caused a stir in the dormitory chat group! "My God! Back then I thought you were just kidding, but you actually managed to win over our school beauty? Nice one!" "Dude! Was everything you said the other day true? But we never saw any signs of you two dating at school! How on earth did you end up together out of the blue? You''re saying you got the certificate in less than two months???" "So, do you really have kids already like everyone''s been rumoring? I''ve heard plenty of those whispers. And I''ve heard Han Xuewei''s belly is already big, she''s about to give birth, right?" "Yeah! Howe you''ve got a baby so quickly? The timing doesn''t quite add up, dude. You better not have just taken over someone else''s problem just because you fancied her looks... We men have got to have some dignity..." ??? Lin Yi responded with a string of question marks, not knowing how to handle this barrage of questions from his friends! What is this ''taking over someone else''s problem'' nonsense? He''s not sick! Why would he take over anything? He, Lin Yi, could proudly say he was a real man! "Don''t believe the nonsense people tell you. When I disclosed the news, Vivi was already pregnant. The child is indeed mine, so I thought it best to take responsibility quickly by marrying her. Us guys have to keep up appearances; I would never take over someone else''s problem!" The group fell silent for a moment, and everyone went quiet. "Holy smokes! You''ve been making a fortune in silence, man! Silently scoring the school beauty like that... I would''ve never guessed!" "Seriously impressive, I have to admit that! When are youing back, so we can get together?" "Yeah man, you''re married now, and we''re waiting to attend your wedding! When will it be?" "Whatever you say, we have to celebrate for you! Waiting for your return to throw you a feast!" Lin Yi helplessly said, "I also want to have the wedding as soon as possible! But now Vivi is about to give birth, pregnant with triplets no less, so it''s not very convenient for her to travel. Don''t worry though, we''ll definitely make up for the wedding, and you guys have to be there!" "Besides, when I have time I''ll treat you guys to a big meal." Lin Yi got along very harmoniously with his dormmates, and they had a great rtionship, so he wanted to find the time to treat them. After seeing Lin Yi''s response, the three brothers in the dormitory finally understood the truth and stopped pressing the matter, waiting for Lin Yi to treat them to a feast. Lin Yi took a long breath, set his phone aside, and finally settled down. He turned his gaze toward his wife next to him and happened to catch Han Xuewei''s expression, which seemed a bit odd. He instinctively leaned in and asked, "Wife, what are you looking at?" To his surprise, she picked up her phone with a flustered look and stammered, "Ah? Nothing, not looking at anything..." Lin Yi immediately noticed her panicked demeanor and knew she must be hiding something. "Do you have something on your mind, or is there some secret? Why hide it even from your husband?" Lin Yi smiled, intentionally moving closer to her and whispered. "There''s nothing... really, nothing at all..." Han Xuewei''s eyes kept darting around, clearly showing her guilt. But at that moment, Lin Yi''s phone suddenly vibrated, bombarded with a barrage of messages! Still looking at Han Xuewei with an adoring face, heforted her, "Let me finish up what I''m doing, and then I''ll see what big secret my treasure is hiding." As soon as he said this, he opened the unread messages. These numerous messages were also from the dormitory group chat, where a roommate had sent dozens of photos into the group. After seeing the photos, his eyes lit up, and he started flipping through them one by one. Every photo was of Lin Yi and Han Xuewei together. There were everyday snapshots of the two at home and casual photos taken while out shopping. The photos even included the big diamond ring Lin Yi had bought and their couple outfits. Each of these photos was sweeter than thest! And it wasn''t until the end that he realized his wife had posted all of these pictures on the campus''s official confession wall! It was practically an official announcement! And the caption added, "Finally waited for you, my Mr. Lin! Please take good care of me for the rest of our lives!" It truly was an official announcement. Lin Yi had been nning in his heart to officially announce their marriage today, he had talked to his roommates for a while and then put it to the back of his mind! Yet, he hadn''t expected his wife to have the same idea and to have beat him to the punch with a confession wall post! More importantly, their thoughts were exactly the same! He excitedly showed his phone to Vivi beside him and quickly asked, "Wife... I''m your husband, and as a man, I should be the one to announce it first. But just now I got distracted, and you posted it first..." However, Han Xueweiforted him with a smile, "It''s okay! I saw that many ssmates were discussing this, and some people even confessed to me. I was just anxious to announce our rtionship. We are legally married, after all; we should acknowledge it openly! Let everyone know that we deeply love each other!" Seeing his wife so serious, Lin Yi''s heart nearly melted, and he felt a pinch in his nose! He really did marry a wonderful wife! He suddenly thought of something and without a second thought, started typing ament directly beneath Han Xuewei''s announcement. After carefully crafting his response, he left a message. "To hold your hand and grow old together with you! May our lovest forever!" Chapter 35: 35: A Real Eye-Opener Apart from that, thement section also disyed blessings from other people. But aside from those, there was another person looking at the official announcement who was clenching her teeth in anger! That was Lin Yi''s ex-girlfriend, Li Jingwen. Lin Yi gently hugged Han Xuewei and said earnestly, "Wifey, I can understand how you feel but this kind of thing should be dealt with by me because I need to be more responsible." "Mm." Han Xuewei looked at her husband''s serious face and responded with a smile. A few dayster, her close girlfriend, Qin Xiaoxu, specially came over to see her! Lin Yi had just arranged to take his three roommates out for a big meal, which also gave thedies some space to themselves. "Oh my! I''ve never seen a mansion of four hundred square meters! I wonder if I''ll ever have such luck! Even theundry room is so big! Wow, is the balcony really this spacious? A balcony is enough to dry clothes for the whole family!" Qin Xiaoxu eximed with amazement as she followed Han Xuewei around, looking here and there with surprise all over her face! "It''s actually alright. There''s a small garden behind the house and a garage on the side. Though it''s said to be over four hundred square meters, the actual area is just barely four hundred," Han Xuewei demurred. "That''s already a lot, okay? This vi has several floors! Your living space is definitely more than four hundred square meters!" Qin Xiaoxu said excitedly. "My goodness! I really can''t believe it¡ªsome people are even saying that Lin Yi went bankrupt at home! Nowadays, people really say anything, and it had me worried about you! I was afraid that you''d suffer, that you married for love but ended up wronging yourself! But I never expected that, after all this time, my worries were totally unnecessary!" Watching her friend struggle to calm her emotions, Han Xuewei soothed her while leading her to the living room. Aunt Wang brought them afternoon tea, and then went off to clean. Just then, Han Xuewei''s mother came downstairs with a smile and said, "Xiaoxu is here? You really should be thanked for taking such good care of our Vivi all the time. She always talks about you, and my, how beautiful you''re growing up to be!" Qin Xiaoxu smiled and replied, "Hello, Auntie!" Han Xuewei''s mother didn''t linger long; after a short chat, she went to water the flowers on the balcony. The two girls hadn''t seen each other in a long time, and today, sitting together, they surely had endless topics to catch up on! "I just can''t imagine it, Vivi, is your mom here just to take care of you?" Qin Xiaoxu asked enviously. "Yes, both my parents and Lin Yi''s parents are going to move in. They''ve been a bit busytely but wille over a month before the due date to take care of me. I''ve picked out the bedrooms for the babies and decided to let them stay on the second floor for convenience. The room next to it is perfect for the nanny, and the maternity matron will need one too. Then, we''ll clear out two rooms on the third floor for our parents," Han Xuewei exined. "I can''t believe it! Really, poverty limits one''s imagination! Your whole family is moving in!" Qin Xiaoxu was struggling to control her emotions! "With the financial resources you have, when the three children grow up, wouldn''t it be nothing to buy each of them a house?" "We''ll talk about that when the timees. I''m only focused on the present right now; I have not thought that far ahead," Han Xuewei said. While she spoke, Han Xuewei''s face was overflowing with a joyful smile, and beside her, Qin Xiaoxu was beyond envious. "What does Lin Yi do for work? Or is he just staying at home with you? Let me tell you, you can never let him live off his parents! It''s better to use your own money rather than your parents''. Men must have the ability to make money! As his wife, you must make sure he starts his own business to make money!" After listening to her, Han Xueweiughed and replied, "Don''t worry! Lin Yi isn''t like what you described; he has never lived off his parents, and he paid for this luxury house himself without even asking his family for money!" "I heard that he had already bought this luxury house a year before we got married. I just moved in with my bags." After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was shocked, her face incredulous, "Ah? He really bought it? Your husband is so amazing! I can''t believe he made so much money while studying in university; truly it''s in his genes,ing from a family that owns apany¡ªthe superior genes determine everything! Right, what does he do exactly? How can he afford a luxury house!" Qin Xiaoxu suddenly became very interested, and in her view, it seemed an unbelievable thing, as most college students nowadays are still asking their parents for living expenses, yet here someone had bought a luxury house himself! "I only know he''s into investments, buys and sells stocks and stuff like that, and he has made quite a lot during that time. Plus, his dad already owns apany, and although business was affected recently, it didn''t go bankrupt as everyone has been saying." As Han Xuewei talked, her expression turned a bit proud. She was proud because she had married a good man! Which woman wouldn''t be proud that her husband can make money? "Alright, alright! Your face is about to split with all that smiling," Qin Xiaoxu said, feigning annoyance. "By the way, why did you two suddenly decide to get married? Who was the one to bring it up first?" Qin Xiaoxu suddenly recalled something, and asked. "He was the one who proposed," Han Xuewei said, a bit shyly. She had nothing to hide from her close girlfriend, and so she narrated the whole story, from beginning to end. The story left Qin Xiaoxu stunned, and she couldn''t help saying, "When luckes, nothing can stop it! If it had been some other scumbag, the oue might not have been the same! Aren''t you worried? Fortunately, this guy took responsibility for you, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!" "Come on! Don''t be so loud, neither of our parents know about this yet, you absolutely mustn''t let my mom find out," Han Xuewei hurriedly covered her friend''s mouth, making a shushing gesture. Thetter caught on, and her gaze lingered on the diamond ring on Han Xuewei''s finger. The ring looked quite conventional, with a moderate size, and was very beautiful; it was the ring Lin Yi had used to propose. Since that day, Han Xuewei had always worn that ring, buttely she had been gaining weight quite rapidly, her fingers had also grown thicker, so the ring felt a bit tight. Han Xuewei noticed her friend''s look and extended her hand to show off, "Look, this is the engagement ring he bought for me. Lin Yi even said this one isn''t enough; after the baby is born, he wants to pick out a bigger one to serve as a wedding ring. Looks nice, doesn''t it? He bought it himself without telling me, and it looks so pretty." Qin Xiaoxu clicked her tongue, "Our campus beauty is blinded by love! I didn''t expect her to hang herself on a single tree before seeing the whole forest..." Chapter 36: 36: Go to the Hospital Early "Let''s talk about his parents. Now that you have three little treasures in your belly, are his parents treating you well?" Qin Xiaoxu asked in a hushed voice, gently inquiring. She had watched too many urban dramas filled with various mother-inw and daughter-inw conflicts, so she was quite worried about her best friend possibly being gued by simr issues, which is why she casually asked. "His parents are really nice, they value me a lot. I can feel that his family really likes me and also hopes that the two of us can have a better future. Luckily, his entire family is easy to get along with, so don''t worry about me. I am sure I won''t be treated unfairly," she said. As soon as she spoke about this, Han Xuewei''s face was once again brimming with a happy smile. All the good things seemed to have happened to her. Not only does she have a capable husband who''s tender and caring towards her and good at earning money, but also her inws are very kind to her. Now, I am already quite content," she added. The two close friends chatted back and forth, so engrossed in conversation that they almost forgot about time... It''s uncertain how much time had passed when Lin Yi returned home at that moment. After parking his newly bought Range Rover in the garage, he came to the yard just in time to see Han Xuewei and her best friend taking a walk. Today, Lin Yi had treated his roommates to a big dinner. Since he had to drive home, he didn''t drink a drop of alcohol. He also took the opportunity to drop Jiang Shan off at his dormitory before hurrying back home. Qin Xiaoxu happened to witness the moment Lin Yi got out of the Range Rover, and her eyes nearly popped out. Is this the high-end version of the Range Rover?! The price of this Range Rover Sport isn''t low, right? Lin Yi is actually driving such a nice car! A student can hardly afford a car worth nearly two million, can they? Not to mention how exquisite the interior is. Qin Xiaoxu, who was quite familiar with cars and generally knowledgeable about them, was unspeakably shocked at this moment! Upon seeing the two taking a walk, Lin Yi approached with a smile and greeted them. "Wife! Is this your good friend Qin Xiaoxu? Thank you for always taking care of Vivi," Lin Yi said courteously. Qin Xiaoxu replied generously, "Hello! My name is Qin Xiaoxu!" "I''m so envious of you two! And you''re really lucky as well! Vivi is the most popr beauty at our school!" The two had seen each other at school a few times and were not strangers, so they quickly started chatting. "Hahaha, indeed I''m lucky. By the way, stay for dinner tonight!" Lin Yi invited proactively. "Then I won''t be polite! I came today especially to mooch a meal and drinks!" Qin Xiaoxuughed as she said. Lin Yi considerately asked, "What would you two like to eat? I''ll go get the ingredients now." "Wow! Lin Yi, I didn''t expect you to actually go and pick up the ingredients yourself! This means that you can also cook, right?" Han Xuewei took Qin Xiaoxu''s hand, smiling as she said, "The dishes he makes are so delicious. I''ve never tasted such vorful food before. You''re in luck today because you get to try it!" Then she turned to Lin Yi and said, "I didn''t expect you toe back so early; I thought you might y tillte tonight." Lin Yi said with an adoring face, "I feel restless not seeing my wife for even a second, I miss you too much!" "Alright, cut it out! Stop showing off your love in front of me, okay? I''m not eating this dog food! I''m really asking for it, huh? Ie for a meal and get fed dog food; I protest!" Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly tried to intervene. But little did she know, her protest not only had no effect at all, but it even increased the nauseating affection between the two! The good friend Han Xuewei went directly to Lin Yi''s side and took his arm, sweetly calling him husband. Lin Yi also wrapped his free hand around Han Xuewei''s lower back; because his wife''s belly was big, hugging her was not easy anymore. At the same time, he gently kissed Han Xuewei''s forehead. Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t bear the scene in front of her, and she screamed as she made her escape, determined not to get her fill of dog food before even having dinner! However, thinking about it, her best friend having such a blissful married life truly made her happy, and she sent her heartfelt blessings. At dinner time, the couple invited Qin Xiaoxu to join them. Lin Yi prepared avish dinner for them, and since they both loved seafood, he made a total of eight dishes. They should have invited Qin Xiaoxu to dine out at a fancy restaurant, but with Han Xuewei''s condition making it inconvenient for her to travel, Lin Yi personally took charge of the cooking, trying his best to do well. It must be said, his culinary skills were no less than those of a professional chef. When the dishes were brought to the table, Qin Xiaoxu''s eyes went wide with excitement; for any food lover, this was indeed paradise! "I''m starting on it first! A seafood feast!" eximed Qin Xiaoxu. Without further ado, she began to devour the king crab on her te. While eating, she didn''t forget to caution Han Xuewei, "Oh right, Vivi, I looked it up specifically, pregnant women shouldn''t eat too much seafood, it can greatly affect the baby!" As she spoke, she continued to heap praise on the dishes on the table. After hearing this, Han Xuewei looked towards Lin Yi, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said with a smile, "It''s okay! My husband has already done his research on this, so my meal is different. Take your time eating, there''s plenty of food here! If you''re not busy, why not stay over tonight? It would be greatpany for me, especially since I''m bored." Qin Xiaoxu replied, "That won''t work, I''ll be starting my internship immediately after exams. Even though I''d love to enjoy the feast, time just won''t allow it!" ...... Not long after, Han Xuewei entered her eighth month of pregnancy, and she was clearly starting to feel the strain. ording to the prenatal checkup data, the weight of each of the triplets in her belly was around four pounds, with the strongest weighing five pounds. Although this seemed to be good news, Han Xuewei suffered quite a bit. Lately, she had noticed an increase in her nighttime trips to the bathroom and a decline in the quality of her sleep; she was always listless, her body suffered from edema, and overall, she was ufortable all over. Seeing Han Xuewei''s suffering, the family began discussing the possibility of checking into the hospital early to see if they could opt for a cesarean section, which would provide her some relief. After the discussion, Han Xuewei also agreed with the idea, so the family made their way to the maternity and child health hospital. Lin Yi had previously nned to hire several nannies and maternity matrons, thinking three maternity matrons would be necessary, but now that both sets of parents were there, hiring two would suffice. Han Xuewei was thus admitted to the hospital early, and two maternity matrons arrived, ready to start work at any moment. With two experienced maternity matrons on hand, there would be no need for panic when the time for delivery arrived. Lin Yi had also been reading up on various childcare knowledge these days, so he was very attentive to many things. Chapter 37: 37 Safe and Sound Mother and Child Moreover, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei were both only children, so their parents were especially excited about the arrival of new lives into the family, and even started to feel nervous. On the day of the cesarean section, everyone''s faces were filled with tension, pacing anxiously outside the operating room door. Lin Yi still held a package in his hands, which contained the maternity towels prepared in advance as well as baby supplies. "Family of Han Xuewei, is the family of Han Xuewei here?" The door of the operating room suddenly opened, and a nurse stepped out, shouting to the crowd. "That''s me! I am Han Xuewei''s husband," Lin Yi quickly stood up and responded, "Nurse, how is the situation now?" Seeing the nursee out, Lin Yi couldn''t help feeling timid and hurriedly moved forward to greet her. The nurse beamed with joy, "Congrattions, you''re going to be a father! It''s twins, one daughter and two sons, the mother and babies are all very safe." After hearing the nurse''s words, the whole family finally let go of the anxiety they had been holding! Safe, as long as everyone is safe, that''s good! "Since it was triplets, the situation is special, two of the babies are underweight and we need to send them for a checkup now. If the checkup results confirm the babies are healthy, then there will be no problem. You need to sign here, and there''s also the admission notice," the nurse patiently exined. Lin Yi couldn''t help feeling nervous and quickly asked, "There shouldn''t be any major issues, right? We had all the checks before the cesarean and also consulted the doctors." The nurse spoke cautiously, "We can''t be certain of these situations now, as there are many unexpected urrences during childbirth. We need to wait for the checkup results to have a further conclusion. But don''t worry, the babies'' crying is very loud, which generally means there shouldn''t be any problems, so rest assured!" Lin Yi was now feeling uncertain, worrying about the health of the children, but the nurse''s words calmed him down, so he signed his name first, then watched as the nurse returned to the operating room. Soon after, the three babies were wheeled out, and everyone immediately gathered around to see them. Upon seeing the three babies, Lin Yi''s gaze immediately softened; a feeling he had never experienced before arose in his heart, perhaps that was a sense of responsibility! But at that moment, the system''s prompt sounded in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for meeting your three babies, awarding the host three million to buy baby form!" In Lin Yi''s eyes, no amount of rewards seemed important anymore. From the moment he saw his children, Lin Yi''s only wish was for them to grow up happy and safe. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s parents hurriedly took out their cameras, eager to take photos with the babies and record the moment the three babies arrived in this world. Lin Yi turned his gaze back towards the operating room, asking the nurse with some urgency, "How is my wife doing now? Why hasn''t shee out yet?" That nurse exined, "The dose of anesthesia we used earlier was somewhatrge, so we need to observe your wife''s condition a bit longer. You need to find a maternity matron to apany me in taking the three babies to the pediatric ward!" Han Xuewei''s parents asked worriedly after hearing the news, "Oh dear, nurse, is our daughter doing okay? Is there any problem? She must not have any idents, we can''t be without our daughter, and the children can''t be without their mother..." The nurse exined, "Auntie, please don''t worry, there are so many doctors here, there won''t be any problems. What we''re facing now are just minorplications. Using anesthesia is just a precaution, this is all normal." Relieved by the nurse''s exnation, Han Xuewei''s parents sighed, "As long as she is fine, we hope for peace and safety..." Apanied by his parents, Lin Yi took the babies to the pediatric department, while Han Xuewei''s parents patiently waited for their daughter to be brought out of the operating room. About two hours passed before Han Xuewei was wheeled out, but she looked pale and weary, not in good condition. Lin Yi had also returned to the entrance of the operating room by then and seeing his wife in such a state, his heart ached immensely. "Vivi, are you feeling any better?" "Doctor, how is my wife?" Lin Yi was now quite agitated, fearful that something unexpected might happen to his wife. "Mr. Lin, please be assured, the anesthesia hasn''tpletely worn off yet, there are still some side effects, so Miss Han Xuewei is breathing a bit heavily. In a little while, her body might start to tremble slightly. Thesemon side effects won''t have any impact on her health, so you need not worry too much. What is important is that she takes good care of herself in the next few days." Following that, they were led by a nurse toplete the hospitalization procedures, and then Han Xuewei was taken to her hospital room. However, at that time, Han Xuewei still had very heavy breathing and seemed extremely ufortable. Not long after, her body began to tremble incessantly, just as the nurse had mentioned earlier. The two Maternity Matrons who had been arranged in advance quickly stepped forward to help andforted everyone present by saying, "Everyone, don''t worry. Mrs. Han''s current condition is normal. Other expectant mothers have experienced simr symptoms before. Once the medicinal effects wear off, she''ll recover quickly. It''s crucial to keep the expectant mother warm, absolutely do not let her catch a chill." The Maternity Matron surnamed Ji, whileforting everyone, also thoughtfully pulled the nket around Han Xuewei to ensure it covered her more snugly. By then, Han Xuewei had regained some consciousness. While her body shook, she asked with difficulty, "What about the babies? How are they doing?" No sooner had she finished speaking than she gasped for air heavily, as if that short sentence had exhausted all her strength. Lin Yi hurriedly knelt beside his wife and soothingly said, "Wife, don''t worry, our babies are safe now. The doctors have taken them for a check-up; they will be back soon. You need to focus on getting better quickly!" Lin Yi was also anxious, but in order not to worry his wife, he could only reassure her that everything was fine with the babies. Knowing that his wife had juste out of surgery, she could not withstand any setbacks now, so it was imperative to maintain a positive mood. Moreover, the results of the babies'' examinations were still unknown, so Lin Yi chose to give only the good news while keeping any worries to himself. Seeing Han Xuewei lying on the bed, Lin Yi''s parents'' faces were also filled with worry. After all, she was their daughter-inw and had been a great help in the family. Seeing her in such difort, the elderly couple also felt a deep unease. In this manner, while Lin Yiforted his wife, he also reassured the four elders, "Dad, Mom, please don''t worry! Since the doctor has said it''s nothing serious, it will soon get better!" Chapter 38: 38: The Babies Video The two maternity matrons were also touched by the warmth of this big family, smiling as they watched the harmonious scene unfold. After nearly two hours of waiting, Han Xuewei''s condition finally improved slightly. Her breathing became smoother, and her face had regained some color. Seeing their daughter pull through atst, her parents wiped away their tears beside her. Who wouldn''t feel pain for their own child? Now, everyone began to worry about the three babies. As long as the babies were safe and sound, it would truly be a happy ending for all! Lin Yi could feel his emotions nearing copse, but still, he forced himself to peel fruit for his wife, saying, "Don''t worry too much! A check-up and she''ll be back." Han Xuewei nodded upon hearing this and said, "At that moment, I heard the babies crying very hard. They must be fine, but I just can''t help worrying." Lin Yi spoke softly, "The doctor has instructed that you can''t eat anything before you pass gas. I''ve asked Aunt Wang to prepare porridge in advance, and it will be delivered soon. You don''t need to think about anything other than recovering. Get some sleep first." "Just now I saw all three babies, and they were looking at me too. Each one was so cute, but I was taken away by the nurse before I could get a good look. However, we took a photo together with the babies; do you want to see it?" On hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately perked up, "There are photos of the babies? I want to see them! I want to see the babies!" Lin Yi smiled, then picked up his wife''s phone from the bedside and opened a group chat named "A Happy Family Together." This group chat was created by Lin Yi''s mother, a ce for the family to chat and share photos. Everyone had also sent photos of the three babies to the group, including a video from soon after the cesarean delivery, where the babies were crying loudly. Seeing the three adorable babies, each brimming with vitality, Han Xuewei couldn''t help butugh through her tears. It was apparent that the children were doing well, certainly nothing to worry about. Han Xuewei repeatedly opened the video of the babies crying loudly, watching it over and over as if the sound of their cries could bring her more peace. After all, she was overly worried about the children. Before they knew it, night had fallen. Since the hospital room wasrge enough, the entire family stayed there. The next morning, Aunt Wang brought over the nutrition-packed morning porridge for breakfast, not daring to prepare anything else. After all, these were the doctor''s orders; other than porridge, nothing else was allowed. The family could see that Han Xuewei was very hungry, as porridge alone wasn''t enough to maintain her nutrition. When the doctors started their rounds in the morning, they checked on Han Xuewei''s condition and, at the same time, gave everyone a shot in the arm. "The results of the babies'' checks are out, and they are all doing very well. They''ll be brought over soon to stay in the same room as their mother." Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately ecstatic! Now, it was indeed joy for everyone! The babies were safe and sound! The entire family''s burden was finally lifted, and after finishing her porridge, Han Xuewei fell into a deep sleep once more, much more restful than the night before. When she opened her eyes again, the three children had already been brought into the room and ced in their separate little beds. The whole family gathered around, curiously observing these three little lives. The babies had been bathed before being brought in, so they were sleeping very soundly! Lin Yi''s dad didn''t talk much usually, his personality rather reserved, but when he saw the three adorable grandkids, he couldn''t help smiling, looking from the left to the right, as if he couldn''t get enough of them. While looking, he also asked, "Say, wife, look at our sweet granddaughter, her eyes are so much like Lin Yi''s when he was just born!" Hearing this, Lin Yi''s mom hurriedly made a shushing gesture, "Don''t make noise, the kids are still sleeping! People say girls grow up to resemble their fathers, looks like it''s true." She then turned her gaze towards the two grandsons, smiling and saying, "The two dear grandsons really do resemble Vivi a bit, the more you look, the cuter they get, really too adorable. And have you noticed? Our three darling grandchildren have high foreheads, they are bound to be very smart when they grow up!" Han Xuewei''s mom also joined in with a smile, "I also think the more you look, the more they resemble, the two grandchildren and our Vivi seem as if they were cast from the same mold, my little darlings, they be even more precious the more you look at them!" The gazes of the two moms were filled with affection, and they weren''t willing to leave the three babies for even a minute. The three little ones, while asleep, kept putting their hands in their mouths, constantly sucking. Han Xuewei''s mom, looking at this scene, couldn''t help but ask, "Are they hungry? Do they need to be fed now?" The Maternity Matron replied, "After bathing, the little ones will generally sleep, and this is when they sleep mostfortably. However, if they haven''t been fed beforehand, they will wake up after a while. If they are hungry, they will start to cry loudly. Does Mrs. Han have breast milk? You could feed the babies breast milk, but if it''s only breast milk, it might not be enough for the three of them, and this is when you would need to use form." Han Xuewei had also woken up by now, and she felt very gratified looking at the three babies in the crib beside her. Enduring the pain in her body, she gently tugged Lin Yi''s arm, whispering, "Honey, I want to see our children." Seeing the pained expression on his wife''s face, Lin Yi hurriedly said, "Wife, don''t move, you can''t get out of bed right now, I''ll bring the baby to you." Getting out of bed and walking around carelessly might cause the surgical wound to reopen, Lin Yi naturally didn''t want Han Xuewei to move at all. "It''s okay, the doctor also said I should try getting out of bed and walking around, a little pain doesn''t matter." "How can that be? What the doctor says isn''t always urate, I''ve read quite a few books on the subject, you should still wait until the third day after birth to get out of bed! You want to see our children, I''ll bring them to you right now." Since her husband said so, Han Xuewei of course didn''t insist, after all, she had never experienced this pain before, and she somewhat couldn''t adapt to it for a moment. The doctor had touched her wound during the examination in the morning, which made her feel even more pain. Lin Yi carefully picked up his sleeping daughter and slowly walked over to his wife''s side. Just then, a system notification echoed in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions host! You have acquired a reward for your first close contact with your baby! Five hundred thousand!" Han Xuewei gently kissed her daughter on the face, her expression bing exceptionally tender and loving at that moment. This was her own child! Her own flesh and blood! Han Xuemei smiled, she smiled so happily, yet gradually, she burst into tears of joy. Lin Yi was startled by the scene, hastily asking, "What''s wrong? Wife? Why are you crying? The three babies are all fine!" Chapter 39: 39 Happy Tears Han Xuewei spoke inly, "These are tears of happiness! I''m so touched, I have babies now! Three adorable babies! There are three of them!" When Lin Yi saw the three new lives joining the big family, his heart was also deeply moved, but he didn''t have the maternal emotions that Han Xuewei disyed. He just instinctively thought that these vibrant lives were magical. But the next second, he distinctly felt a warm current in his hand, followed by a foul smell in the air?! Lin Yi''s hand froze in ce. That feeling... Did it get on my hand? Lin Yi looked down and saw his daughter''s face had turned bright red, and then she began to cry with soft yelps. Han Xuewei also saw this scene, and then she saw Lin Yi''s bitter face, which made herugh. "Oh my! This smell is too foul, isn''t it? Honey, did you smell that? How can it stink so much?!" Having said that, Lin Yi brought his little daughter even closer to Han Xuewei, who quickly covered her nose and shouted, "Quick, change the baby''s diaper!" The parents from both sides, as well as the maternity matrons present, couldn''t help butugh at this scene. Every time Han Xueweiughed, her own wound would hurt along with it, and she said with a pained expression, "Aiyaya, I can''tugh anymore, the wound is so painful!" After hearing this, Lin Yi also started to worry and stopped joking with his wife. "Does it hurt a lot? Honey, I won''t tease you anymore." Han Xuewei waited until the pain in her wound slowly subsided before she slowly said, "Hurry up and wipe our daughter''s butt! This is her punishment for you, who made me hurt so much?" Since it was still March, the weather in the north was still a bit chilly, so the heating was generally not turned off. The nearby maternity matron said patiently, "If the child pooped, it''s best to deal with it as soon as possible, as bacteria can grow easily in a warm environment. You need to use warm water to clean it thoroughly, and cleaning a girl requires even more attention to detail than a boy." Han Xuewei then understood what the nanny meant. Her husband was a big man, definitely inexperienced, who would know how to help their daughter wipe her butt? So she quickly said to the maternity matron, "Please, Nanny Ji, help him with it." Nanny Ji hurriedly took the child from Lin Yi''s arms, while another maternity matron helped run hot water in the restroom. Lin Yi said apologetically, "If my sons pooped, let me take care of it as their father! That would be my punishment. After all, we have two sons, so double the punishment! Hahaha..." Lin Yi was very earnest in tucking in the nket for his wife, but he hadn''t finished being busy when farting sounds came from the other two cribs... Could it be??? It''s really such a coincidence?? Both sons pooped at the same time!!! "Oh my God, did you guys plot this together? Giving your old dad such a hard time!" Lin Yi looked helplessly at his two sons in front of him. Meanwhile, Han Xuewei tried her best to suppress herughter, but her silvery giggles could still be heard. Lin Yi''s mother was alsoughing uncontrobly, saying, "Do you think it''s easy to be a dad? Your dad and I had our fair share of wiping your butt and changing diapers back in the day! We''ve been through the same." "From now on, you''ve got kids too, and no matter what you do, you''ll have to work even harder because raising three children isn''t that easy." "Okay, Mom, don''t you know me? I always work hard at everything I do... Okay, okay, I''m off to change the kids'' diapers..." As Lin Yi spoke, he approached the two cribs and rolled up his sleeves. He hadn''t expected fatherhood to feel like this. Since hecked experience, he was somewhat clumsy with changing diapers, and it was only under the joint guidance of the two moms that he managed to get the job done. It wasn''t as smooth as he had imagined; Lin Yi not only dirtied his hands but also the baby''s nket. With no other choice, he had to rece it. With this experience, he figured he would be much more adept at changing diapers for his sons in the future. Even though his two sons were twins, telling them apart wasn''t too difficult. Since the eldest son''s weight was normal and the younger son''s weight was on the light side, he could feel the difference as soon as he picked them up. Looking at it this way, the eldest had hogged all the nutrition from his little brother and sister! In the future, he''d have to take on the responsibility of protecting his siblings! Since Han Xuewei had undergone a cesarean section, she still needed a stitch removal surgery. The whole family stayed by her side, waiting for the surgery to be done before they all went home together. So every day, Aunt Zhang prepared meals for everyone, and Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s dad took turns bringing the food from home to the hospital. Actually, Lin Yi had also thought about staying with his wife at the confinement center for a while to recuperate, but then he realized that since they had hired a maternity matron, staying at home would be more spacious. Moreover, the maternity matron they had hired was highly capable and had an excellent reputation, as well as being a kind person. In addition to looking after the babies, she would also give Han Xuewei professional massages and work on every acupoint on her body every day. During this time, Lin Yi had even found one of the bestctation consultants in the city online and could even arrange for her toe home to inducectation. Everything was taken care of, and he had thought of everything for Han Xuewei. Lin Yi had often seen how some women ended up with health problems because they weren''t taken care of properly during their confinement period. No matter what, such a thing could not happen to his wife! A few dayster, as Lin Yi entered the hospital room, he saw Han Xuewei breastfeeding their daughter. Han Xuewei''s face immediately turned red, and Lin Yi also felt somewhat at a loss. Although the two of them were husband and wife, and had been close before, Lin Yi had had too much to drink that day, which didn''t mean much. It was the first time he had seen Han Xuewei so shy, and for a moment, he also felt embarrassed. Both dads would take a walk downstairs every day at this time, straightforwardly avoiding the scene, whereas the two moms and the maternity matron were already used to it. Lin Yi paused, then said softly, "Maybe... I''ll take a walk downstairs for a bit..." Nanny Ji, whose surname was Ji, couldn''t help butugh when she saw this and said, "Mr. Lin, you two are husband and wife, how can you still be shy!" As soon as she finished speaking, the other few people alsoughed. What she said was indeed true ¨C what was there to be shy about breastfeeding a child? With that being said, Lin Yi was even more at a loss, unsure whether he should leave or not. Han Xuewei offered a way out, "It''s okay, just sit on the sofa and wait, I''ll be done soon." Chapter 40: 40 I Can Carry It Due to Han Xuewei''s unfamiliarity with breastfeeding, she even seemed a bit stiff holding the baby. Lin Yi just sat down honestly on the couch next to her, his mind somewhat elsewhere. He hadn''t expected that after so many days of trouble, he had suddenly be the father of three babies, and the feeling of growing up overnight was truly wonderful. Since he had be a father, he must be more mature, and he had much more to shoulder! Lin Yi, watching Han Xuewei breastfeed their daughter, felt a warm surge of affection in his heart. He would be a family man from now on, with a wife who loved him dearly and three adorable babies¡ªhe was content with his life. The only thing left to do was to take good care of his wife and children and to make sure he earned enough money to raise the kids properly! Thinking of these things, Lin Yi couldn''t help but let out a long sigh. A person''s life is nothing but a few major events: establishing a family and developing one''s career. Lin Yi already had a family, and what he needed to do next was to develop his career! He was the father of two sons, and the pressure in the future would indeed be great. Only through his own efforts could he provide a good life for his children, and he also hoped his children would be the wealthy second generation! Moreover, he wished for Han Xuewei to experience the feeling of being a young mistress. A few dayster, the family apanied Han Xuewei as she was discharged from the hospital. Before leaving, Lin Yi wrapped his wife up tightly, not allowing a whisper of wind to pass through! Otherwise, she could catch a cold, and if it got serious, it might leave lingering health issues¡ªamon risk during the postpartum period! Finally arriving at home, Lin Yi carried his wife princess-style from the garage straight to the bedroom, leaving the three babies in the care of the elders. Aunt Wang also hurried down to help carry things. The housekeepers and maternity matron, who were new to the mansion, were shocked by the sight before them, a scale of wealth and triple-car garage that ordinary families couldn''t afford. They had worked in the vis of rich people before, but only in upscale neighborhoods with high prices for goods and property; they had never seen a mansion thisrge! It seemed they were in for an eye-opening experience. When Lin Yi finally brought Han Xuewei to their room, she smiled and said, "Husband, I can walk by myself, my wound has almost healed." Lin Yi decisively replied, "How could I let you walk up the stairs by yourself? You''ve only had the stitches out for a few days. If the wound splits open, that would be bad." With a face full of happiness, Han Xuewei burrowed into Lin Yi''s embrace and said with augh, "I shouldn''t be very heavy now, right? After giving birth to the babies, I weighed myself¡ªI''m nearly 130 pounds." "That''s nothing at all. Even if you were as heavy as you were during pregnancy, I wouldn''t mind! Silly girl, I don''t care about your weight at all!" replied Lin Yi with deep affection. "I remember now, the doctor instructed me not to forget to change the dressing every day. I might need¡­ your helpter¡­" Han Xuewei said, her face turning red, looking very shy. Because changing the dressing involved a particrly sensitive area, Han Xuewei had to lift up arge part of her clothes, which inevitably made her feel embarrassed. Though they were husband and wife, the two had not yet had an intimate rtionship. "Mm, how should I change it? Just teach me, and I''ll be able to do it," Lin Yi said with ease, "Do you want me to change it for you now?" "Not now, wait until tonight! The nurses have already changed it during the day, butter you''ll need to go to the pharmacy to buy some gauze, cotton swabs, disinfectant, and remember to get the iodophor specified by the doctor, which doesn''t sting when you use it." "By the way, wife, how''s the wound recovery? Does it hurt a lot?" Lin Yi asked with concern. "If I don''t move too much and just do some routine exercise and walking, it''s fine. The wound should heal in a few more days, but it''s been feeling itchy these days." "Then I''ll go to the pharmacy! I''ll buy everything we need right now. You reminded me¡ªwe really don''t have medical supplies at home. Leave it to me!" "Mm, thanks, husband! Be careful when you go out." Lin Yi saved the list of items his wife said they needed to his phone''s notes, told his parents, and then drove off. After arriving at a nearby pharmacy, Lin Yi walked in and asked directly, "Do you have things like gauze and cotton swabs?" A clerk stepped forward and replied, "Hello, sir, which type do you need?" "It''s like this, my wife just had a cesarean section a few days ago, and I need to buy some medical supplies for dressing her wound, like gauze and cotton swabs." After hearing this, the clerk asked, "I understand, these gauze and cotton swabs are specially made for postpartum women who have had cesarean sections. How much do you need?" Lin Yi was taken aback upon hearing this. He indeed didn''t know how much he needed or how many days they''d be required. Lin Yi hastily answered, "Just give me twenty or so of those, bring me threerge packs of those special cotton swabs, and pack some extra iodophor as well, I''ll pay by card." Lin Yi took quite a lot of everything, and then, with a look of surprise on the clerk''s face at the local pharmacy, he walked out with big bags in his hands. "Ding! Congrattions, Host, for caring for your wife daily, you receive a system reward of two hundred thousand!" Lin Yi was somewhat helpless at this moment, thinking perhaps there was some problem with the system? All day he had been tired from carrying his wife around and got no reward, yet now, after just buying a few things, he was splurging money. How did it just hand out rewards like that? It feltpletely random. Lin Yi was somewhat confused but still epting, considering everything he did to earn rewards involved caring for his wife and child, and this he could most certainly aplish. When Han Xuewei saw her husbanding back with a big bag of medical supplies, she couldn''t help butugh. "You might as well have moved the pharmacy home! The things you''ve bought willst us several months. My wound will heal in a few more days, and we won''t need so many bottles of iodophor. Usually, just a little bit is enough." "I was worried we''d run short, I thought we''d need to sit out the full month of confinement, so I bought enough for a month. But no worries, we can also use these supplies at home. With these specially made gauze, you can change them more frequently¡ªit''s better for the wound. Should we change it now?" "Ah? No, no, no, not now, let''s wait for tonight, we can change it tonight..." Han Xuewei stammered her refusal. Even though her husband was extremely meticulous in his actions, he truly treated her well. Lin Yi was indeed a reliable and good husband! It seems she can rx from now on. Chapter 41: 41: The Unique Milky Fragrance As evening approached, everyone nned to give the babies a warm bath. Lin Yi picked up his daughter from the cradle, his gaze fixed tightly on the tiny, fair-skinned child in his arms, his paternal love rising like a tide within him. He really wanted to give this little one a big kiss! But he couldn''t do that now! The baby''s immunity was at its weakest now, and they carried many germs. Kissing the baby would transfer the germs onto her! Lin Yi could only bury his head into his daughter''s nket instead. The scent of milk swept over him in an instant! That milky scent was indeed veryforting! It even made his head spin a little! And this scent was somewhat simr to that of his wife! At that thought, Lin Yi paused for a moment! Perhaps it was because the baby had been breastfeeding? These past few days, he had noticed that whenever he got close to his wife Han Xuewei, he could clearly smell that unique milky scent on her. Both sets of grandparents were there to help bathe the babies now, and the maternity matrons were busy adjusting the water temperature! He sniffed at the scent of all three babies and still felt that his daughter''s fragrance was the richest and most pleasant. As the saying goes, a daughter is a daddy''s warm jacket, and he still loved his daughter. Not like those two little guys who seemed to have conspired to give him trouble together. Whenever Lin Yi thought of his sons'' behavior that day, he couldn''t help butugh and cry. After the hot water was ready, and the clothes for the babies were taken out, everything was prepared, ready to give the three little ones a good wash! But he never expected that bathing the little babies wouldn''t be as easy as he imagined. When he started undressing his youngest son, he encountered a small problem; the baby began to cry loudly halfway through. Hearing the crying, the eldest son also cooperatively joined in, and soon, their cries formed a duet in the room! The two brothers seemed to bepeting with each other, each cry louder than thest. Lin Yi''s mother quickly picked up the second son and startedforting him, rocking him in her arms and singing a luby, "Be good, obedient, don''t be afraid when grandma is holding you. There, there." Han Xuewei''s parents also picked up the eldest son andforted him with much tenderness. Only Lin Yi''s daughter was lying quietly in her father''s arms, her little eyes moving around, observing everything with a look of intense curiosity. Han Xuewei soon took notice of the babies'' crying and said with augh, "Look at how the two sons are crying all of a sudden! They cry as soon as they''re undressed, seems like they have quite the temperament." Lin Yi smiled and said slowly, "This temper might note from me, right? But as long as they are my babies, I don''t mind any temper they have!" Han Xuewei leaned in too, gently poking her daughter''s chubby little cheeks with her finger, "Little treasure!" Then, she turned her gaze to her sons, who had finally calmed down, and said with a smile, "Look how well-behaved your sister is, you two should learn from her." Mr. Lin''s mother said to Han Xuemei, "Vivi, you can''t touch this water, it''s warm water. It''s not good for you toe in contact with it too much during your confinement period." Han Xuemei smiled and replied from the side, "I know, Mom. I''m just taking a picture of the babies. I''ll send the photo of the babies bathing to our group chatter, so everyone can see." As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xuewei excitedly turned on her camera, trying out various angles to take pictures of the babies. The three adorable little fellows were thus ced in the water, and Lin Yi also started to y nursery rhymes nearby, hoping to make the bath time pleasant for the babies. The water temperature was just right! At least it was perfect for the babies, who started to slightly close their eyes as soon as they touched the water, clearly filled with sleepiness. But at that moment, a prompt in Lin Yi''s mind interrupted his thoughts. "Ding, congrattions to the host, you''ve sessfully bathed the babies and provided them with a sense offort, earning a reward of two hundred thousand!" Lin Yi was no longer surprised by this, especially since the reward was entirely within his expectations. After just a few short minutes, the three adorable babies were out of the water, as bathing infants doesn''t require too much time, otherwise it could harm their skin. One must know that the skin of infants is very delicate. Han Xuewei was holding her phone, capturing every moment from start to finish - taking photos and recording videos of the babies, not wanting to miss any splendid moment. As soon as the little babies were taken out of the water, their bodies were quickly dried, but they still made cooing sounds and didn''t stop sucking on their fingers, seeming veryfortable. Not long after putting on clothes, they fell asleep again. Because they didn''t know whether the babies would be boys or girls before birth, they prepared three sets of boy clothes and three sets of girl clothes, so there was no need to worry about not having enough clothes. Han Xuewei sent the photos to the group, and then went back to her room to rest. However, she hadn''t been asleep for long when all three children started crying simultaneously. The sister''s cry was clearly different from her two brothers'', sounding like a little kitten, very pleasant to the ear. Lin Yi was especially fond of his little daughter; once he picked her up, he couldn''t bear to put her down again. Watching her big eyes twinkling, he found his heart unable to settle for a long time. A daughter is truly a delight, not only smelling sweet but even her cries are so melodious. He believed that his daughter would grow up to be even cuter and more affectionate! Just then, the Maternity Matron brought over two bottles filled with high-quality baby form specially prepared for the babies. "Mr. Lin, children can''t eat as regrly as adults, they need to eat many times a day, and they must be hungry now, it''s about time to feed them." Lin Yi quickly agreed, "Okay, I''ll go call Vivi to prepare." Since all three children needed to be fed, just relying on breast milk waspletely insufficient, so the little ones had to take turns, and the other two had to make do with form. However, the form that Lin Yi picked for the babies was extremely expensive and considered premium; it was even imported, and its nutrition wasn''t inferior to breast milk at all. Filled with joy and excitement, Lin Yi picked up his daughter and headed towards Han Xuewei''s room. As he slowly pushed open the door, he froze on the spot, his eyes glued to the scene inside, swallowing his saliva uncontrobly! He actually saw Han Xuewei pumping milk! Lin Yi''s eyes nearly popped out! And Han Xuewei immediately noticed Lin Yi, who entered directly without knocking. Seeing her husband staring nkly at her, she stopped her hands! Slow to realize, she quickly came to her senses, then she instantly turned halfway around! Han Xuewei immediately said, "Ah... honey, you... you should remember to knock!" Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. "I... I''m really sorry! I got a bit too excited..." Chapter 42: 42 Feeding the Baby Lin Yi quickly reacted and then retreated, making sure to close the door behind him. In recent days, everyone in the family had to knock before entering Han Xuewei''s room, for fear of inconveniencing her. Lin Yi, too excited, had forgotten to do so. A momentter, Han Xuewei called out to the hallway, "Come in!" Only then did Lin Yi carefully push the door open, his heart sighing with relief. Han Xuewei''s mood didn''t seem to fluctuate much, and her flushed face gradually returned to normal, indicating she didn''t me him much. Han Xuewei turned her head and said, "Just hand me the daughter." Lin Yi nodded in response, his expression still slightly awkward. He nodded vaguely, uttering an agreement. Immediately after, he passed the daughter to his wife''s embrace, the thick scent of milk assailing his nose; it was identical to the one emanating from his daughter, truly intoxicating! Lin Yi tiptoed out of his wife''s room and gently closed the door. Yet the image he''d seen when he opened the door kept reying in his mind. Lin Yi shook his head quickly, dismissing all thoughts that had arisen at that moment, and returned to the room where his two sons were sleeping. When Lin Yi returned, the two boys were already feeding, their eyes half-closed, looking utterly content. "Come on, let me feed them." Lin Yi tried to take the older son from his mother''s arms, but the younger son, seeming to pick up on the movement, stopped feeding, whimpering and iling his tiny hands. Seeing this, his motherughed and said, "You can''t favor one over the other, can you? Look, the younger one is unhappy. You have to hold this one too." Lin Yi offered a wry smile and pretended to be upset, "You two little guys are trying to wear your dad out!" But even as he said this, his actions betrayed him; he took both children in his arms, each in a different arm, while Han Xuewei and the Maternity Matron helped by holding the milk bottles at the ready. Only after being held like this did the little ones feed properly again. They made satisfied "mmm" sounds, clearly relishing their meal! The two mothers were smitten by the charming children, adoringly watching their babies. As Lin Yi busied himself feeding, the system''s notification chime sounded in his head! "Ding, congrattions host, you have sessfully fed the babies and have received a reward of two hundred thousand!" Lin Yi''s mother-inw joked at that moment, "Lin Yi, if you get used to it, maybe the babies will only want to feed when you''re holding them!" Lin Yi replied, "Then I''ll just keep on feeding! Maybe I''ll be a full-time stay-at-home dad from now on. As long as my children aren''t wronged, I''m up for anything." His statement made everyone burst intoughter. What is happiness? Being together is a form of happiness. It''s an atmosphere not easily achieved, so this precious sense of joy is priceless. Feeding his own babies, Lin Yi was filled with a sense of achievement. And during this time, he hadn''t even been to work, yet he received several system rewards each month, each for no less than two hundred thousand! Could there be anything better than this in the world? He had just received a two hundred thousand reward for feeding the babies, and by that count, he would have to feed them four or five times a day! That easily came to over a million¡ªeffortlessly! Where else could he find a job more rxing than this? Of course, he didn''t have to feed her the milk every day by himself as sometimes there were other things to take care of; however, if calcted as once a day, the ie for a month was quite substantial! So, after everyone had dinner together, Maternity Matron Auntie Ji specially prepared warm water in a wooden bucket in the washroom, and then went to Han Xuewei''s room. "Mrs. Lin, ording to the schedule, you can wash your hair now. The water temperature is just right, and I''ve also added ginger slices to the bucket, which is effective." Han Xuewei asked, "Then, can I use shampoo? It''s been a long time since I''ve washed my hair." Maternity Matron Auntie Ji said with a smile, "Of course you can." "Then Auntie, you go rest, I can do it myself." Han Xuewei stepped forward to bring the items into her room, indicating she would wash by herself. After hearing this, Maternity Matron Auntie Ji hesitated a bit and said, "Mrs. Lin, are you sure you can do it alone? I''ll be outside then, just call me if you need anything." With her help, Han Xuewei set up the waterproof protector. At that moment, Lin Yi walked in, saw what was happening, and naturally picked up the shampooing items, simrly telling Maternity Matron Auntie Ji, "Auntie, I''ll help her!" Han Xuewei was slightly startled when she saw this, her expression revealing a trace of surprise. She hadn''t expected Lin Yi to offer to wash her hair. Han Xueweiy down naturally, and Auntie Ji patiently exined to Lin Yi. "This is waterproof, you must drape it properly, otherwise the clothes will get wet, and you might catch a cold." "Also, try to keep the time under ten minutes. Definitely don''t wash too long or you''ll catch a cold and it might even lead to a headache." After giving all the instructions, Maternity Matron Auntie Ji returned to her own bedroom. Only the husband and wife were left in the room. Lin Yi took out Han Xuewei''s hair clip and gently parted her thick, ck hair with his hands. He carefully wet the ends with water, then gradually poured it up along the hair. Then, he squeezed some shampoo into the palm of his hand and began massaging her hair. Even though it was very quiet, with neither of them speaking, a sweet sensation naturally arose, filling the entire room. At that time, Han Xuewei slowly said, "Lin Yi, you''re so good to me!" Lin Yi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and asked with a smile, "Haven''t you always called me ''husband''? Why have you changed today? It sounds a bit unfamiliar." Lin Yi deliberately asked with a chuckle. "Alright, from now on, I''ll always call you ''husband''!" A radiant smile of happiness spread across Han Xuewei''s face. Deep down, she knew she had married the right person. Lin Yi was not only a good husband but also apetent father! She felt like meeting Lin Yi was the luckiest thing that ever happened to her in her lifetime! But at that moment, her expression suddenly turned very serious, and she said slowly, "Husband, you might not know, but I was terrified during childbirth. I thought I wouldn''t make it off the operating table." Lin Yiforted her, "Silly girl, how could you think like that? All that''s behind us now, don''t worry needlessly." "Yes, I know. But I was panicked and scared then. The doctor told me I was resistant to anesthetics. If that were true, the sess rate for a cesarean might not have been high, and we would have had to resort to other methods." Chapter 43: 43 Han Xueweis Memories "The situation was very serious, and the anesthesiologist was out of options, so they could only slightly increase the dosage for me. I felt like I was having trouble breathing. But at that time, the doctors did everything to keep me awake. When I turned my head, I saw the heartbeat rate on the machine steadily getting lower, and I was truly afraid!" "Worried that I might not make it out of the OR safely, that my baby might end up without a mother, or worse, never even having seen me... that''s why I kept forcing myself to stay awake..." Lin Yi could hardly bear to hear more and instantly hugged Han Xuewei''s trembling body. "Wife, you should have told me about this sooner! I had no idea things were so critical at that time!" Lin Yi couldn''t help but feel a pain in his heart, and it was at that moment he also noticed several conspicuous bruises on Han Xuewei''s chest. The bruises tugged at his heartstrings even more, prompting him to reach out gently to touch them. To his surprise, Han Xuewei pped his hand away, feigning anger, "Don''t take advantage of someone in a weak state! Focus on shampooing properly!" Only then did Lin Yi realize, with an embarrassed face, he shampooed his wife''s hair. "Just feeling sorry for you! Seeing those bruises made me feel distressed." Han Xuewei whispered, "I''m only telling you this, okay? I''m just sharing my innermost thoughts with you, and you mustn''t tell anyone else. Mom and Dad would worry if they heard..." Lin Yiforted her earnestly, "Don''t worry, I won''t let you take any risks anymore! We''re not going through this again. Having triplets at one go, we''re already very content!" Lin Yi made a silent vow to himself that he would always protect his wife in this life, so she would never have to endure any hardship! He needed to be apetent father, apetent husband, ensuring the whole family stayed healthy and happy! Lin Yi timed it perfectly and quickly finished washing his wife''s hair, then dried it bit by bit with a towel as the Maternity Matron had instructed. After everything was taken care of, the couple went to the nursery. It was now almost ten o''clock at night, and the whole family had already gone to bed early. There were nannies and the Maternity Matron looking after the nursery. The two of them crept over quietly and saw their sleeping babies were well-behaved. They seemed to have no habit of crying loudly at night and would sleep quietly after their feed. Thankfully, they were mostly awake during the day, so they slept soundly at night. Babies like these were indeed a relief for the parents! Upon closer thought, aside from crying during feedings, the three of them didn''t seem to cause much trouble for the adults at other times. Today was the first time the babies were sleeping at home, and they slept very well, meaning no one else had to be disturbed. When they were all apanying each other in the hospital room, despite choosing a private room, the hospital environment was still somewhat noisy. Sometimes, not only the babies but also the adults found it hard to get a good night''s sleep. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei slowly approached the crib, watching their three lovely little ones, and for a moment, neither wanted to leave. The little ones sometimes sucked on their fingers, sometimes stretched their arms or yawned, just too adorable for words! At this moment, Han Xuewei also felt sleepy and gently tugged on Lin Yi''s arm, whispering, "Husband, it''s gettingte, let''s go back and rest! Besides, the babies still need to be fed tonight." With his wife''s call, Lin Yi reluctantly withdrew his adoring gaze, put his arm around his wife''s waist, and they both returned to their room. After Han Xueweiy down, she yawned and said, "I''ve been so tired these past few days! I''ve been longing for the day when I could finally return to my own little bed. It feels so much better to be at home, the sleep is sweeter, and breastfeeding is much more convenient." Lin Yi also sat down and spoke, "I was actually nning to take you to a postnatal care center to rest up properly, but now it seems unnecessary. With the nanny and the Maternity Matron here, it''s indeed quite convenient at home." "I never told you, but changing environments can make it hard for me to sleep. Apart from that day when I was knocked out from the overdose of anesthesia, I haven''t been resting well at all, feeling listless every day!" "Alright, then get some rest quickly!" Lin Yi also climbed into the covers and naturally wrapped his arms around Han Xuewei. But at that moment, thetter suddenly said, "I can''t sleep yet! Hubby, there''s something very, very important we need to do!" "Hmm? What''s the matter that can''t wait until tomorrow?" Lin Yi asked with some confusion, but as soon as he finished his question, he pped his forehead, "Ah, if you hadn''t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten! I almost forgot to change the gauze! To apply the medicine!" "Yes, I need to clean the wound before I can sleep!" Han Xuewei quickly said. No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Yi hurriedly got out of bed, grabbed a bag from the table in one swift motion, and after rummaging through it for quite a while, pulled out some gauze and specialized cotton swabs, and proceeded to open a bottle of iodine. At that moment, Han Xuewei was ready, slowly removing the gauze and waiting for Lin Yi to clean her wound. She was feeling very shy at this time. Moreover, Han Xuewei thought her wound was really unsightly and was worried that Lin Yi would be frightened by the sight of it. However, there was no ripple in Lin Yi''s heart as he gently peeled off the tape from the gauze. Since the tape had been on for so long, it had be very tight, and removing it had left Han Xuewei''s delicate skin slightly red. As the tape was slowly peeled off, Han Xuewei endured it silently, but she knew that applying iodine near the wound would hurt even more. Seeing his wife''s furrowed brows, Lin Yi hurriedlyforted her, "Does it hurt a lot? Then I''ll go slower." Han Xuewei quickly responded, "No! Please don''t do that! Just tear it off quickly, the longer it takes, the more torturous it is. It''s better to get it over with quickly!" Lin Yi couldn''t help butugh, "Alright, alright, I''ll listen to you. It''s my first time doing this, just bear with it a little longer, it''ll be over soon." Han Xuewei was surprised by her own words, realizing that unconsciously, the rtionship between them as husband and wife had be even more delicate. Lin Yi gave her a look and said, "I''ll count down, and at one, I''ll tear it off right away!" "One!" Lin Yi pulled it off abruptly while she wasn''t paying attention. "Ah..." Han Xuewei bit her teeth firmly. Just when Lin Yi felt proud for sparing his wife some pain, his gaze quickly settled on that prominent scar! Although it was stitched up nicely, one must admit, it was a cut! And it was several centimeters long! Who wouldn''t feel heartache looking at it? And upon closer inspection, you could see that the wound was slightly reddish and swollen, as if the tiny blood vessels would burst at any second. Chapter 44: 44 Lin Yis Silence Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed as he asked, "Does it hurt?" Han Xuewei was slightly startled, and hurriedly said, "Ah... It''s actually not that painful, it just asionally tugs when I walk, it''s almost ten days now, and the wound is healing at the moment. Besides the itchiness, there''s nothing else." Lin Yi said, "It''s good it''s not that painful." With that, he slowly twisted open the bottle cap of the iodine, soaked a cotton swab for a while, and then gently wiped Han Xuewei''s wound. Lin Yi knew in his heart, saying it didn''t hurt was just a lie. This cut was at least 15 centimeters long, it must have needed quite a few stitches when it was sewn! Lin Yi wiped the wound very carefully, and from time to time he would blow on it gently. Han Xuewei looked at her husband with deep affection, deeply moved by his actions. As she watched, she even asionallyughed out loud. These past few days, she had always told herself that she truly married the right person! Not only had she found a good husband, but she also had such wonderful inws! And not to mention how adorable the three babies were! She even had this feeling that she was the happiest person in the world! After cautiously finishing cleaning the wound, Lin Yi wrapped it with gauze. "Wife, the gauze is changed," Lin Yi said with a serious face. "Okay!" Han Xuewei instinctively responded, then quietly watched as Lin Yi helped her pull up her pants, adjusted her clothes properly, and then thoughtfully covered her with the nket. "Wife, do you feel a bit tired breastfeeding the babies during this time?" Lin Yiy down next to her and asked in a soft voice. "Not particrly tired, sometimes Ick enough sleep, but actually, I really enjoy breastfeeding. I really like the process." "Oh? Really?" Lin Yi became curious. "Yes." Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then finally said what he had been thinking for a long time, "Wife, what I''m thinking is, should we stop breastfeeding for a while? The babies can actually be fed form because I see you getting up in the wee hours every day to feed them. I always feel you''re working too hard, and I hope you can get some good sleep, at least rest well every day." Han Xuewei quickly exined, "Husband, don''t worry about me, I''m really not very tired. And even if we only had one baby, I would insist on breastfeeding. By now, I really love the little ones, so I want to let them have more breast milk, to be closer to me." "It doesn''t matter if I''m a bit tired. As long as the babies are well, no matter how hard or tiring, I will ept it." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Breast milk indeed is irreceable! It truly is the best choice for the babies'' development. Even though the babies'' immunity is improved, watching you work so hard day and night to feed the three of them, not even getting enough sleep, makes me feel bad!" Lin Yi paused, then continued, "I understand the principle, but I still don''t want to see you suffer or get overly tired. Promise me, no matter what, your health is the most important. I must find a way to help you recover as soon as possible." "And I still want to hold your hand and go back to campus with you! To attend the graduation ceremony!" Han Xue smiled and said, "I''m very happy that you care for and look after me so much. But husband, perhaps you can''t understand a mother''s genuine love for her children. It''s this profound love that strongly drives me to want to breastfeed. Even when I''m feeding them, I feel not that tired at all, any bad mood just dissipates." "And didn''t you say that we would only want these three babies? We won''t have any more after this. If that''s really the case, then I want to cherish the opportunity to breastfeed them." Lin Yi leaned closer to his wife and then wrapped his arms around her, saying, "I''m all ears to you! As long as you''re willing, I will definitely agree to your requests. The reason I don''t want more babies is that I''m afraid it''s too exhausting for you. But if you really love little babies and want to have another one in a few years, I will still support your choice, okay?" Suddenly, the room was filled with an intimate atmosphere. The couple embraced each other, discussing whether or not to have more babies in the future while under the covers, and it must be said that this scene certainly led to some fanciful thoughts. With such a beauty with a stunning appearance lying next to anyone, who could resist? Lin Yi couldn''t help but take a deep breath, trying to control the desire he felt for his wife. But just then, Han Xuewei took the initiative to move closer, gently kissing Lin Yi''s lips! Lin Yi instantly felt warmth in his heart, his entire body seemingly electrified, and in the quiet surroundings, I could hear his thunderous heartbeat. "Wife, don''t be naughty!" His wife had just given birth not long ago, and she was in her postpartum period now; he couldn''t do anything impulsive! No matter what, it was absolutely not negotiable! This was an immovable line! But if his wife kept teasing him like this, it would be hard for him, a grown man, to guarantee he could always keep under control! What should he do? Lin Yi kept reminding himself in his heart that he must not act recklessly! "Okay, I''ll stop teasing you!" said Han Xuemei, and she then hugged Lin Yi''s arm tightly. Lin Yi didn''t dare to say a word, just looking at his wife, afraid that saying a few more words might really cause him to lose control! Hey quietly, allowing his wife to hug his arm tightly; he could already feel his wife''s soft body pressed closely against his. My goodness! Who could endure this? Having a virtuous and upright beauty with a goddess-like face and a svelte figure lying next to oneself while sleeping! Nobody would be able to control themselves, right! Okay, okay, I can''t keep thinking about this!! Lin Yi tried to calm his restless emotions and honestly held his wife as he drifted off to sleep. In the middle of the night, Han Xuewei also woke up several times from her dreams, going to the bathroom as well as to store milk for the baby. Then she returned to the bedroom, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep once shey down. Lin Yi was very affectionate towards his wife¡ªthe truth is, he sincerely didn''t want Han Xuewei to be so tired every day, and the baby form he bought for the child was top-notch, so there was no worry about nutritional issues. However, Han Xuewei insisted on breastfeeding, perhaps to fulfill her maternal responsibilitiespletely! Moreover, it''s been said in books that breastfeeding is good for both the mother and baby. If a mother breastfeeds her child, it helps her figure return to its pre-pregnancy state in a short time and is also beneficial for the uterus. Chapter 45: 45 A Complete View By the next morning, the three little ones had woken up the entire family bright and early with their cries, just as punctual as roosters. The two maternity matrons were bustling about, swiftly wiping down the babies'' bodies before getting busy with feeding them again. Han Xuewei got up on time as well, as she had to breastfeed the babies first thing in the morning, or else she would suffer from engorgement. Today it was her eldest son''s turn to be breastfed, but before she could even finish halfway, the little guy unexpectedly pooped right into his diaper! Han Xuewei, who was practically smoked out by the poop in the diaper, twisted her head away, covered her nose with one hand, and began shouting, "Husband! Come help, please! Our eldest son needs his diaper changed!" Lin Yi rushed over at the sound, but found Han Yilin still in the act of breastfeeding; his eyes couldn''t help but wander, taking in the expanse of her whiteness. Lin Yi froze on the spot. It was then that Han Xuewei suddenly remembered she should have lifted the baby away first. The two of them locked eyes, falling into a mutual silence. Han Xuewei immediately turned halfway around and also lifted her son away from her chest. After she adjusted her clothes, Han Xuewei then handed her son over to Lin Yi. However, it seemed the baby wasn''t full yet, and the moment he was picked up, he started to cry a little. Lin Yi quickly took his son into his arms and rushed to the nursery not far away, singing nursery rhymes and soothing the child while swiftly getting the diaper ready. The brother and sister had already finished eating, but the eldest son still hadn''t had enough! The longer the diaper change took, the louder he cried. "Don''t cry, don''t cry. Listen to Daddy, once we''ve changed your diaper, we''ll eat right away! As long as we clean you up and wipe you down, you can have your milk¡ªjust hang in there!" While Lin Yi was uselesslyforting aloud, he was also busily changing the baby''s diaper. The brother and sister had weighed just over four pounds when they were born, while the eldest had reached five pounds. After many days of everyone''s careful attention, the brother and sister had gained a good amount of weight, and the eldest had grown bigger as well. These days, it was noticeably more strenuous to pick them up! They must have put on maybe two more pounds already, right? Lin Yi quickly finished changing the baby''s diaper and then swiftly brought Da Bao back to Han Xuewei''s arms. "I didn''t expect Da Bao to have such a temper, it''s getting harder and harder to change his diaper, but as soon as you hold him, he seems to stop crying..." Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Han Xuewei hastily took the baby, gently rocking him in her arms, and consoled, "Sweetheart, be good, don''t cry." Da Bao was quite clever, as if sensing his mother''s scent and realizing there was milk to be had, he soon stopped crying and began to coo and babble. "You little rascal, so you were just picking on your dad when you had me all to yourself!" Lin Yi said, finding the situation both frustrating and amusing. Laughing, Han Xuewei added from the side, "The baby didn''t do it on purpose, honey. He just wants to eat. If you fed him with a bottle, he wouldn''t cry either." Seeing his wife turn halfway around and start to feed Da Bao, Lin Yi felt it wasn''t right to stay any longer, so he turned and left. At the lunch table, Lin Yi''s father suddenly spoke up, asking the couple, "Speaking of which, the baby has been born for so many days now, have you both thought of a name yet?" Lin Yi suddenly looked up, puzzled, and said, "We haven''t thought of a name yet, but that shouldn''t be urgent, should it?" His father shook his head and said, "How can it not be urgent? When you get the birth certificate, you''ll need to register the child''s residence, and logically, all three babies should have had their names picked out on the day they were born. If not now, then when?" After listening, Han Xuewei''s fatherughed and said, "Hahaha, my dear friend, don''t me him. After all, it''s his first time being a dad; it''s understandable that he doesn''t get these things. Do you have any good names in mind?" Lin Yi''s father smiled and said, "I''ve been struggling, too. I''m torn between several names. Does anyone else have any good ideas? Let''s talk and discuss them together." Han Xuewei''s parents also fell into deep thought. At this moment, Lin Yi''s mother said to everyone, "A name is for life, we can''t be careless about it. For the three babies'' names, let''s all name them together!" "Lin Dad and I will name the eldest brother, Vivi''s parents can name the second brother, and the couple can name the little sister! After we agree on the names, we can share them with each other for reference. Does that sound good?" Han Xuewei eagerly pped and praised, "That''s a good approach! It will make it much easier to name the babies, and it won''t take too much effort to think. I wholeheartedly agree." Han Xuewei''s mother smiled and slowly said, "It indeed is a good idea. Let''s all think together! Surely, we can find suitable names for the babies." "How about this! We use the afternoon to think, and we can discuss it together at dinner. It will be like our big family''s first family meeting!" Lin Yi''s father quickly set an example. "Vivi, my dear inw, our Lin Family has never been strict with names, so don''t hold back. As long as it sounds good and has a good meaning, we can all ept it," Lin Yi''s mother added. Han Xuewei''s parents also smiled and responded, "That''s even better; there''s nothing for us to worry about then." After enjoying lunch together, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi went back to their bedroom, nning to take a good afternoon nap. Once back in the bedroom, Lin Yi picked up a dictionary and started flipping through it page by page, hoping to find the right characters for his daughter''s name. There''s no denying he was a responsible and good dad! Han Xuewei often couldn''t resist the urge to nap after lunch, so she had formed the habit of taking an afternoon rest, but today she found herself with engorged breasts, so she sat at the head of the bed and used a breast pump. Seeing how serious Lin Yi was, she didn''t have the heart to disturb him. Han Xuewei''s health had been goodtely, and perhaps she naturally had a good constitution, such that now her milk production was almost enough for two babies every day. So looking at it this way, it was possible that in a little while, the babies could be fed exclusively on breast milk. This detail also implies that Han Xuewei''s bust must be quite sizable, right? asionally, when she was breastfeeding and Lin Yi walked in, he would end up staring and daydreaming, which made Han Xuewei feel embarrassed for a while. After expressing the excess milk, she stored it in a bag and then casually ced it in the bedroom fridge. Chapter 46: 46 Naming the Baby The small refrigerator ced in the bedroom had only one purpose, and that was to store breast milk. On Han Xuewei''s vanity, there was another fridge of the same model, which was used exclusively for storing skincare products. Han Xuewei also gradually noticed that the physical contact between her and her husband had been increasing recently. Perhaps in a few days, they would interact even more naturally with each other. They might live like a normal couple then, feeling less and less embarrassed about things. At least for now, many things between them felt awkward, but with more contact, it would be natural. Take what had just happened, for example. Lin Yi had noticed Han Xuewei''s movements early on and knew what she was going to do, so he couldn''t help but sneak peeks in her direction. Despite Han Xuewei turning her body slightly away, Lin Yi couldn''t stop his wandering thoughts. After searching the dictionary for a long time, Lin Yi finally found a name that sounded suitable and hurriedly asked Han Xuewei what she thought of it. "Wife, I''ve found two incredibly beautiful names, one is Jing and the other is Yishu. Which one is better?" Han Xuewei pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Both are quite nice." At that moment, Lin Yi was overjoyed. Surely everyone would get excited when naming their own baby! "This Yishu means gentle and restrained, delicate and subtle. These two characters alsoe from the Book of Songs, very wonderful. Jing stands for someone with temperament, intelligent, having lofty aspirations. But none of these words can represent what I hope for my daughter, which is for her to be happy and healthy every day as she grows up!" Indeed, every parent hopes their child will grow up happy and cheerful. After all, health and happiness are what matter the most. Han Xuewei shared the same thoughts. She wanted to be with her baby every day, watching her grow day by day. That was the happiest thing for every parent. "Both meanings are good. It feels like either would be suitable." Lin Yi started to struggle, muttering to himself, "Lin Yishu! Lin Jing? They both sound pretty good. Which one should I choose?" After pondering for a long time, he finally turned his gaze back to Han Xuewei: "Wife, what do you think?" Han Xuewei silently pronounced the names, and after a moment, stated confidently, "Lin Yishu sounds nicer. Let''s go with this one!" "Then I''ll listen to my wife, Lin Yishu, Lin Yishu! Not bad, not bad at all! Indeed very catchy!" Lin Yi repeated the name several times in a row, jubntly saying, "Now we also need to pick a nickname! Let me think, let''s call her Mengmeng! She''s just too cute, and so sensible. Truly my girl, hahaha!" But just at that moment, the system prompt echoed in Lin Yi''s mind again! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for choosing the baby''s name yourself! You have received a system reward of two million!" Good grief! To get such a reward just for naming a child? If he had known it was like this, he would have taken the names of all three children! But upon reflection, this was already quite enough. After all, he couldn''t be too greedy and needed to give the parents a chance to name their babies too! And with these two million, he was very content! Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt an intense excitement in his heart, plunging into dreams of a wonderful future life. He even fantasized about his daughter putting a coat on him when it was cold, cooking for him decades from now. At the thought of this scene, Lin Yi couldn''t help but break into a goofy smile once again. Han Xuewei felt very content at this moment. Lin Yi truly loved, deeply loved this family, and he valued her a lot. This was the epitome of a husband''smitment to family care. Seeing her husband''s goofy smile, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but giggle softly as well. As long as a couple is harmonious, then their family is sessful, and it will develop better and better. Moreover, they now have both a son and a daughter, which is the envy of many families! Lin Yi and Han Xuewei chatted for a while, discussing some household matters. Seeing that his wife''s eyelids were starting to droop, Lin Yi suggested she go to rest early. After a nap, Han Xuewei had no choice but to feed the babies again. Now, almost ten days had passed since the start of her confinement, and she only went downstairs for necessary activities such as eating, let alone going out. This cloistered life seemed to involve nothing but eating and sleeping outside of meal times, and Han Xuewei distinctly felt she had little to do every day. Even tasks like bathing the babies or taking turns changing diapers didn''t require her intervention - Lin Yi eagerly took them on, with the additional help of the Maternity Matron. Yet, even with staying at home every day and not doing anything, Han Xuewei''s weight continued to drop. Perhaps this was one of the advantages of nursing! It''s said that breastfeeding can help a mother recover her figure quickly. Now, Han Xuewei''s weight had already fallen below 120 pounds, and she didn''t look overweight at all, almost back to her size during her school days. In the past couple of days, Han Xuewei had removed the belly band, which had always been a bit ufortable. She nned to stay home for another half-month and then sign up for a yoga ss, aiming to further improve her figure. During her period of confinement, her good friend Qin Xiaoxu frequently came to visit. After all, she was the godmother to the three children. It was only right for her toe to see them, and she also gave each of the babies a generous red envelope! Probably no one in the whole school knew about the triplets except for Qin Xiaoxu, right? Lin Yi also hadn''t told his dorm mates. He hoped that after Han Xuewei finished her confinement and it was confirmed she could travel, he would then invite everyone out for a big meal! And that would be the perfect opportunity to tell everyone about their ns to hold a bted wedding ceremony. Plus, he would be inviting his good brothers to be groomsmen! So, no matter what, it was important for everyone toe together and have a good gathering. And whenever Lin Yi thought about holding the bted wedding with his wife, he would get carried away by his fantasies, envisioning all kinds of scenarios. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Lin Yi was very clear in his heart that Han Xuewei yearned for an unforgettable wedding! Because that''s every girl''s dream, isn''t it? Which girl wouldn''t hope for a grand wedding feast with her Prince Charming? Lin Yi checked his ount bnce and then pinched his fingers, estimating the rough expenses. It seemed that the wedding would require at least ten million! Alright, let''s not think too much about it for now, it''s still early days for that! As evening approached, the whole family neatly gathered around the dining table. Chapter 47: 47: Nicknamed Mengmeng Lin Yi''s father anxiously asked, "How has everyone been doing with thinking up names?" Han Xuewei''s father said, "We havee up with several names, but we''d like to see the ones you''vee up with." "Then let''s discuss it while we eat." Lin Yi''s father didn''t ask Lin Yi for his opinion at all, and Lin Yi even believed that his dad probably had a name ready for the third baby already! Saying that they are all his own grandchildren, with his father''s personality, it wouldn''t be impossible for him to do such a thing! Soon everyone sat down at the dining table, and Aunt Wang carefully brought several tes of fruit, taking care to prepare Han Xuewei''s portion. Lin Yi''s father, brimming with excitement, took the lead and said, "I don''t know what everyone else has been thinking?" Lin Yi quickly answered, "We have already chosen a name!" Tuition-Wei''s father also said in a hurry, "I have also chosen a name for the child on my end." Lin Yi''s father said, "My wife and I have named our eldest son Lin Zhiyan. How does this name sound?" After hearing this, everyone began to ponder. "The reason we chose this name is that we hope that Da Bao will grow up to be erudite and a distinguished schr. That''s why we specially picked these two characters." Lin Yi''s mother, true to her profession as a teacher, even chose names with such depth! After hearing this, Lin Yi quickly raised his hand and said, "This name is indeed good, I am the first to support it! Wife, do you have any suggestions?" Han Xuewei nodded and said, "This name is indeed good, I have no objections." Having the name he chose unanimously approved by the family before Lin Yi''s father had time to rejoice! "Then let''s go with this name! We have also thought of a nickname for the child, and we''ll just call him Da Bao!" Of course, the host had no objections. At this time, Han Xuewei''s mother also said to everyone, "If we''re naming him that, then the second baby should be called Zhiyu, right? It implies a spirited and dignified bearing. How about it?" "This name is great! It''s a good name! I support it!" Han Xuewei''s father quickly expressed his approval after hearing it! It must be said that the two names did suit the brothers very well, and everyone showed satisfied smiles. Lin Yi''s mother asked the young couple, "How about this name? Lin Yi, Vivi, do you have any good suggestions?" Han Xuewei shook her head and said very sensibly, "This name also sounds good." Lin Yi slumped his shoulders a bit and said, "Of course, I have no objections, as long as it''s a name you all chose, I''m definitely reassured!" In fact, Lin Yi''s father had always been worried about one thing, whether his inws would insist on one child taking the Han surname. After all, they had only one daughter, Han Xuewei, and if the Han family had this wish, he would understand it. However, to his surprise, the inws had never brought this up from the beginning to the end, which showed great magnanimity. This made them think highly of Han Xuewei''s parents. Seeing that everyone had agreed, Han Xuewei''s mother said with a smile, "Then it''s decided! The little brother''s name will be Lin Zhiyu." Clearly, everyone showed their agreement! At this time, Lin Yi also hurriedly said, "We havee up with a very meaningful name for our daughter, Lin Yishu. What do you think of this name?" "Lin Yishu? That really is a good name! It not only sounds pleasant but also has a deep meaning! Our little darling will surely grow up to be an elegant and sunny girl!" Lin Yi''s mother eximed. True to a teacher''s knowledge, she understands these characters from the Book of Songs almost like the back of her hand! After hearing the names, everyone also expressed their approval. "These names! Not bad at all, I didn''t expect you two toe up with such great names!" Lin Yi quickly added, "We''ve even thought of a milk name¡ªMengmeng! Our little Mengmeng is the most adorable and cutest!" Han Xuewei also covered her mouth and startedughing, "Okay, okay! Everyone knows now, that your daughter is the most adorable, all right?" Everyoneughed heartily upon hearing this, and the children''s names were thus happily decided. Tomorrow, Lin Yi could go to the hospital to handle the birth certificate for the babies using these three names and then directly register their residence. By the next morning, Lin Yi got up early, saved the names in the memo app on his phone, and took all the necessary documentation needed to handle the babies'' paperwork. Seeing that the babies would be a month old in just a few days and that it would soon be time to take the little ones for their vinations. Lin Yi could only imagine what his three little cuties would look like crying then. When he arrived at the designated department in the hospital, he found the ce was just as crowded as the times he''d attended prenatal checkups with his wife. He had waited in the hallway for nearly half an hour before it was finally his turn. The nurse nced over his documents and then looked at him with a very surprised expression. "So you''re the father of the triplets? The whole hospital is talking about this! You''re very fortunate!" The nurse said with envy. "Ah? Is that so¡­ haha." Lin Yiughed. "You may not believe this, but your triplets are the first in Xiangcheng in nearly fifty years! It''s really rare! Especially naturally conceived triplets, which are very umon!" "Have you already chosen the names for the babies?" The nurse asked with a smile. "Yes, I nned to register them today and have all the required documents prepared," Lin Yi said. "We''ll have the birth certificates ready shortly. However, since you need three at once, it will take a little more time," the nurse exined. Those waiting at the door overheard Lin Yi''s conversation with the nurse and were all amazed! "Wow, having triplets in one go? How impressive is that?" "Twins are already rare, but someone actually had triplets! They must be so blessed!" "Hey buddy, do you have dragon triplets or phoenix triplets?" a curious onlooker asked. Lin Yi answered with a smile, "Two boys and a girl." "So you do have dragon and phoenix twins! You''re very lucky to have both a boy and a girl!" the person eximed in surprise! "I too would love to have dragon and phoenix twins; the joy of having both a son and a daughter must feel great!" Lin Yi just kept smiling and nodding his head. "Buddy, taking care of three kids must be tough? It must be hard to manage!" "And the cost of form for three babies is no small amount! A can of form must be finished in one day, right?" Lin Yi scratched the back of his head andughed, not knowing how to answer everyone''s numerous questions. He just responded casually to one or two of them. Chapter 48: 48: Do I Have Shares This Time? About ten minutester, the nurse came out with the birth certificate and handed it to Lin Yi. At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for processing the birth certificates for three babies, you have earned ten percent of the shares in the mother and baby brand ''Fuwa Baby'' as a system reward." Lin Yi had already grown ustomed to receiving rewards easily after doing something for his wife and children, but this was the first time he had received a reward that wasn''t cash! Could it be shares in apany? He quickly checked out the so-called Fuwa Baby brand to find out how much it was worth! But as soon as he nced at the numbers, he waspletely bbergasted! Was it really that exaggerated? This turned out to be a mother and baby brand worth 20 billion dors! If he really got ten percent of the shares, that would mean he had instantly earned two billion dors! The kind you couldn''t spend in a lifetime! However, Lin Yi would definitely not sell his shares for cash lightly, as it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity. He was counting on these shares to reassure his family about his abilities! Even though he wouldn''t cash out the shares, just leaving them there would still mean receiving an annual dividend from thepany! By that calction, his ie would be much more stable! This was absolutely a huge cause for celebration! He had truly made a fortune! Instantly, Lin Yi was immersed in a sea of joy. After a moment, he packed up the babies'' birth certificates and headed towards the underground parking garage. He had to hurry and register the babies for household registration! No dys were tolerable. Upon arriving at the registration hall and seeing the long queue there, he waited for a long time, and finally, it was his turn! Just as the staff member stamped his family register, the system notification rang in his mind again! "Ding, congrattions to the host, as you have processed the household registration for three babies, you will soon receive a 900-square-meter vi located at No. 3 Xinjing Garden! You will receive the property deed and keys via courier in the near future." Upon hearing this notification, Lin Yi''s pupils constricted, and he was plunged into deep surprise! What kind of ce was Xinjing Garden? He had heard that many wealthy people lived there, real tycoons with fortunes over a hundred million! And there were quite a few celebrities too! The residential area was quite special, with vis as well as high-endmunities. He had heard that the annual property management fees amounted to millions! Lin Yi had never imagined having the chance to live in such a ce! The vi he currently lived in was located in the suburbs, and it took half an hour to drive into the city, but Xinjing Garden was different! The vis there were right in the center of the city! Wow! The estate must be worth over a billion by now, right? A 900-square-meter mansion¡ªwho could imagine that? Just how many rooms are inside? Other than allowing him and Han Xue''s parents to move in, each of the three children could have their own room. Even the nanny and the Maternity Matron could have separate rooms. He could hardly imagine such a life! But at that moment, Lin Yi suddenly paused and asked directly, "That, I wanted to ask, is my name on the property deed of that mansion?" Lin Yi had actually wanted to give Han Xuewei a piece of property, and now there was a mansion up for grabs¡ªwasn''t that perfect? So now was the time to get Han Xuewei''s name on the property deed. "This mansion is jointly owned by both husband and wife, so there are two names on it." "Is it possible to make a change?" Lin Yi asked straightforwardly. "The host can directly make changes." "Change the name to Han Xuewei, I want only her name on the property deed." "Receiving new instructions, change in progress," the system didn''t ask further but simply acted ording to Lin Yi''s instructions. Only then did Lin Yi feel at ease. After dealing with the matter at hand, it was nearly noon, and Lin Yi managed to find time to visit his parents''pany. By the time he got home, everyone had finished lunch. By then, Han Xuewei had also returned to the bedroom for a noon rest. Aunt Wang had specially set aside a portion of the meal for Lin Yi on the table. Lin Yi''s parents were also making time to go to thepany these days. They were currently nning to relocate thepany! Lin Yi''s mansion was in the eastern part of the city while theirpany was located in the west;muting to work took nearly two hours each way! Back and forth, it was too much trouble¡ªso they considered moving headquarters closer. That way, even if they were busy, they could still spend time with their grandchildren. Moreover, the construction of the mansion area was excellent; their whole family could take walks here every day or y badminton. They could even bring the grandchildren to y here in the future! However, Lin Yi''s parents had been busy selecting a new site for thepany these past few days because the rent nearby was still very high, so they had to make a careful decision. Lin Yi wolfed down his lunch when his mother happened to walk out of her room and came silently to her son''s side, starting to chat about this matter. "Lin Yi, you now have a family, with a wife and children depending on you! But you haven''t gone out to work¡ªdo you have any thoughts? Your father and I have discussed it and are considering handing over the family business to you. You''ve grown up, and we feel reassured." After listening, Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Mom, you don''t think I''m incapable of supporting my family, do you?" Lin Yi''s mother replied, "The expenses for three children are not small! Moreover, you can start from scratch with the familypany, and we will all support you. The stock investments and such you talked about before surely won''tst long. A man still has to engage in real business!" "And I am not ignorant about these matters. You may have made some money, but there are risks involved. It would be better to start learning in the familypany sooner rather thanter, considering you have three children to support! This burden will eventually fall on you, and you''ll need to shoulder it as soon as possible. Your father and I are not old yet, but in a few years, we can only help with the kids¡ªwe won''t be much help with anything else. Sooner orter, it will be up to you to carry the g." Listening to his mother''s advice, Lin Yi nodded continuously; he understood the reasoning, but what young man doesn''t want to carve out his own path? And he really wanted to apany his children as they grew up, not wanting to spend every morning buried in his parents''pany dealing with various matters. After all, babies grow up better with their parents''pany. However, looking at it from another angle, taking over the family business in a hurry had its benefits: at the very least, he could let his old man rx, no longer needing to tire himself out every day. Aside from spending time with grandchildren, his father wouldn''t need to worry about anything else! Chapter 49: 49 Maternal and Infant Brand This has always been something Lin Yi struggled with, he wanted to spend more time with his baby as they grow, yet he didn''t want his parents to work too hard every day. But now he couldn''t just ask his dad to put thepany projects on hold, could he? He knew his father had built thepany from the ground up, so it was his life''s work! Thepany might not be very big, but after all, it had experienced many difficulties and challenges, and had weathered many storms! Although thepany was facing some difficulties, Lin Yi still couldn''t make certain decisions for his dad. Lin Yi replied without hesitation, "Mom, I understand everything you''re saying, and I take it all to heart. But before we go any further, there are some things I need to tell you, and then you can help me decide." He paused, then said very earnestly, "Mom, I''m now a shareholder in a mother and baby brand, holding as much as ten percent of the shares! And as you know, the industry is doing quite well these days with an overall upward trend, so I''m not worried about not making money." "Which mother and baby brand? Does Mother Lin know?" asked Lin Yi''s mother curiously. "Fubao Baby," Lin Yi blurted out. "Ah?" His mother was startled upon hearing this, "Fubao Baby? How could I not know about it? Its market value is in the hundreds of billions!" "Do you really hold ten percent of the shares???" "As far as I know, Fubao Baby is a brand that has risen rapidly in recent years. The state has introduced policies to support the three-child policy, lifting some enterprises. It is one of them!" "So, are you saying you started investing in this enterprise while you were still in college?" At this point, besides being astonished, Lin Yi''s mother remained astonished! Ten percent of the shares! What did that entail? At a conservative estimate, that''s worth at least a billion, right??! A billion! To put it mildly, that''s more money than she and Father Lin could earn in their entire lifetime! Even if they sold all their family assets, it would only be a drop in the bucket! After hearing his mother''s words, Lin Yi suddenly felt panicked, not expecting his mother to be so knowledgeable! His brain whirled rapidly, his speech mumbled and unclear. "Ah? Well... I started a business with some friends at the beginning, there were just a few of us, but over the past few years, we''ve grown and be a team. The performance of recent years has been pretty good, with arge initial investment,ter on, many people approached us for partnerships and franchises. We''ve made tens of millions just from franchise fees alone!" "With so many franchises, business became easier; everyone needed to get their supplies directly from us, and then it just got bigger and better, with annual profits exceeding my expectations. Now, my personal dividends have already reached over a hundred million!" In order not to let his mother realize that he had made up his entrepreneurship history, Lin Yi spoke vaguely, and business was like that after all, apart from relying on one''s own hard work, so much depended on opportunities, and he believed his mother would understand him. Besides, the ten percent of the shares he now held were solid and beyond any doubt. As for the process of his own entrepreneurship, that was not so important. Therefore, he said he hadn''t been heavily involved in the whole process, and it was his good friends who had been supportive. After listening to her son''s exnation, Lin Yi''s mother pped her thigh and eximed, "I see! You should have told us about it earlier! At that time, our business was on the rise, and we still had some money, much better than now. Well, thinking about it, the future belongs to the young. The methods your dad and I used to start our business were bound to be obsolete. It''s for this reason that your dad has been wanting you to take over, considering this as well." Lin Yi nodded and said earnestly, "I understand, Mom. But you don''t have to worry about me being jobless now; my ie is very stable, and I have enough energy to raise the baby. If you or Dad''spany faces any issues, you cane to me anytime. If there''s a need for money, I can provide it, drawing out tens of millions at a time is not a problem." "Oh, and I bought a vi for Vivi. Just bought it today." Lin Yi''s mother''s face showed surprise once again, "Ah? You bought another vi? But this one is really good! It''s enough for the whole family to live in, why another purchase?" It seems Lin Yi''s mother hadn''t had a heart-to-heart in a long time and waspletely unaware of how capable her son had be, now a billionaire with even two vis to his name! Lin Yi nodded and said slowly, "Although we already have a vi, I thought it would be nice for our whole family to live together in the future, where the kids could have their own bedrooms, right?" "Moreover, the new vi is muchrger than this one, almost 900 square meters!" Lin Yi''s mother''s eyes widened once again as she asked, "Ah? Over 900 square meters? That''s huge! Son, when did you be so rich? Tell me, where have you chosen this vi?" Lin Yi smiled and said mysteriously, "You might not believe it if I tell you; I chose the New Vista Gardens, number three!" Mother Lin was suddenly at a loss for words! New Vista Gardens??? That''s a residential area teeming with wealthy people! To own a vi there, especially one that''s 900 square meters, would likely cost over a hundred million! "You sneaky kid! If it weren''t for our chat today, you would still be keeping this from me! You''ve actually made so much!" Mother Lin covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes full of unspeakable emotions! "Oh, Mom, there''s still so much you don''t know! My investments are not few, this is just a part of them, but I can''t reveal everything for now." "Ah? You''ve made other investments too?" Mother Lin was now overwhelmed with excitement! Now that Lin Yi had exined his work and financial status to his family, and with more rewards from the system toe, he decided to hold back some information forter. Besides, after counting his savings, he figured he had at least tens of millions, which certainly bolstered his confidence. "So now, I just want you and Dad to understand my situation, bottom line¡ªI''m not short on money. And if you both need anything, I can transfer funds anytime to help Dad''spany through this crisis. You''ve never been clear about the issues thepany has been facingtely, so I thought you and Dad had solutions and didn''t step in to help. But I''vee to realize recently that the situation is different from what I assumed." Chapter 50: 50 Find a Reason Lin Yi could only lie and evade the question, saying he wasn''t clear about his family previously being in dire need of money, otherwise, his mother would think he was unwilling to help! After a long time, Mother Lin managed to calm down and then spoke very seriously, "You don''t need to worry about this side, your father and I will definitely find a way. In fact, what we are most concerned about is you. As long as all the money you make is legitimate, your father and I won''t pry too much. Those of us in business must always remember that dirty money is not to be touched!" Her worries were not without reason; many wealthy families'' greatest concern was education. A lot of kids, once they have money, start doing whatever they want, and may even on a whim cross the legal line, which is not eptable. Moreover, their own child was now worth nearly a billion, so they had to constantly remind him to be proactive in preventing problems! "Okay, I understand what you mean, but rest assured, I''ve only made some investments without telling you and Dad, and they''re all legitimate, with no breaches of discipline orw. I think a big part of today''s sess is down to luck!" Lin Yi was not exaggerating with his words; all his earnings were indeed the result of luck. With billions of people in the world, why was he the one chosen by the system? Without the system''s help, there would be no today for him. Otherwise, he would have had to rely on his parents to support his three babies. Even with exhausting work every day, he''d be lucky to rake in ten thousand a month¡ªa tight fit to feed a family of five! The other option would be to follow in his father''s footsteps and take over his father''spany. But business had been tough for his father in the past two years, and the monthly take-home pay hadn''t been much better. If that really had been the case, he would have to think about providing for his family the moment he opened his eyes every day! It was anything but easy! After much thought, Lin Yi finally realized how vital the system was. Everything he had today was given by the system! How could he alone bear the burden of supporting a family? Mother Lin found the conversation with her son satisfying and knew her child had his dreams and ambitions, so she and her husband no longer insisted on involving Lin Yi in their business. "You run a maternity and baby brand, so you should use that brand''s baby products for our family''s Da Bao! As a major shareholder, you can purchase through internal channels, right? That definitely would save a lot, considering the daily expenses for the baby aren''t small!" "Do you know how expensive the baby form the babies are eating now is? The brand seems to be called Zhenyingbao, an imported brand. The three babies go through it so fast! Sometimes, a can of form is finished in just one day, and less than a monthter, two boxes are already gone! These days are just about time for us to buy more form, so I wanted to ask if your maternity and baby brand does any distribution?" "Besides the form, there are diapers too. Each baby uses about four or five pieces a day, and we''ll soon need to switch the small size for the little brother and sister to medium, and switch Da Bao''s torge size. You wouldn''t believe how this big chubby guy has gained a pound in just a few days, his little belly bulging out!" The moment Mother Lin started talking about the three lovely babies, her face would almost bloom into a smile. After lunch, Lin Yi washed the dishes himself. He had been busy since morning and was now quite tired, not to mention he had woken up many timesst night to feed the babies, so he hadn''t had a good rest all night. But when he heard that the baby''s form was running low and they needed to change diaper sizes, he decisively got in the car and drove out again. Lin Yi vaguely remembered seeing a brand called Fuwa Baby in the maternity section when he went to the supermarket to buy couple items with Han Xuewei. They had shopped around there. Han Xuewei had picked out plenty of maternity and baby items at that time, and he had even signed up for a VIP membership card. This store''s VIP consumption was a bit unique, with each customer''s spending contributing towards umting points that could elevate their VIP level. The higher the level, the bigger the discount when shopping. Undoubtedly, this kind of discount model was innovative and could entice customers who liked the brand to receive more significant discounts, increasing the business''s revenue markedly. But since he now owned shares in this brand, the size of the discount didn''t matter much anymore, since he was certainly not short on money! He rummaged through his wallet for a while and finally found the business card handed to him by the store manager the day he bought maternity and baby items, never thinking it woulde in handy one day. Making a special trip seemed inconvenient; he didn''t feel like going out now, so he could ask the manager to send a salesperson over. If all went well, he should receive the goods in about an hour. Lin Yi took out his phone, entered the number from the business card, and pressed the call button directly. It happened to be the store manager who answered, and Lin Yi recognized the familiar, somewhat sweet voice, "Hello, wee to Fuwa Baby chain stores. How may I assist you?" Lin Yi got straight to the point, "I''ve shopped at your store before and kept your business card; I need to repurchase some items but really can''t make it out. Do you offer home delivery services?" It was almost noon, right after lunchtime, so the mall wasn''t very busy, and they could provide home delivery. The female associate replied very respectfully, "May I have your surname, sir? We can provide home delivery service. Please let us know what products you need." "No need for formalities, my surname is Lin. Does your store carry Fuwa Baby brand form? And I need some diapers too, do you have medium andrge sizes in stock?" "Hello Mr. Lin, we have all of these items. How much would you like?" The associate asked while preparing to jot down the details. "Let''s start with five boxes of form. I need five packs of medium-size diapers and five packs ofrge-size diapers!" As Lin Yi spoke, he calcted inwardly. The children hadn''t yet reached a month old; the three babies could consume half a can of form a day. When the little ones grow a bit more, not even a whole can might be enough for a day''s supply! It wouldn''t hurt to buy more form all at once¡ªat least 30 cans with five boxes. It had to be said, this stash of form shouldst a month. People say you have to earn the money for kids'' form, don''t they? Because form is so expensive, costing hundreds per can, and just the monthly expense for form alone is quite a substantial sum. Chapter 51: 51 Online Procurement The figure was indeed a bit hefty for some ordinary families, and some could only afford to buy regr form for their babies, which wasn''t as expensive but still cost at least a hundred. Any cheaper, and they really wouldn''t dare to feed it to their children! Some mothers who were in their postpartum confinement still hoped to breastfeed their babies, using form only as a supplement, which also helped to save a bit on expenses! Diapers, although not as costly as form, got used up very fast. Each pack had about 50 pieces, and with two little ones like brother and sister, each would use at least five or six a day, so a pack wouldn''t evenst a week. As the babies grew past their first month, they would continue to grow, and by that time, they would needrger diapers! So just to be safe, he didn''t buy too many medium-sized ones. Since bing a father of three, Lin Yi hadn''t worried much about family expenses, but he paid close attention to other details, like how much milk the babies drank each day, and how many diapers they used; he kept a mental note of it all! The shop assistant was secretly thrilled after hearing his words! It seemed today was her lucky day, as she''dnded a big order! "Alright, Mr. Lin, we will get your items ready for delivery right away. May I ask where to send these goods?" "Fragrant Osmanthus Garden, number six." ???? That ce was a vi district! The female shop assistant instantly keyed into the crux of the matter; her pen flew as she jotted down the address, silently thinking to herself, "This turns out to be a big client! I must offer the best service no matter what!" The shop assistant on the phone said, "Mr. Lin, please wait at home for a moment. I will have the items you need ready right away and delivered within an hour. May I know how to enter the residential area? Do I need a gate card? Without a gate card, won''t I be unable to deliver the goods to your home?" Lin Yi also immediately thought of this issue; security was indeed very good in his vi district. He pondered for a moment, then said on the phone, "Well, in that case, I will inform the guards at the entrance about the situation. After you arrive, just report my house number, 3A6, and they will let you in." The shop assistant quickly agreed. After they finished the call, Lin Yi promptly exined to the security guard about his online purchase and then headed straight to the second floor of his home. In the past few days, Lin Yi found that if he was away from his wife and children for just a few hours, he couldn''t contain his anxious feelings. He rushed excitedly to the second floor, and as he climbed the stairs, he heard the piercing cry of a baby! He was familiar with this voice; it was his eldest''s! He walked towards his and his wife''s bedroom, the crying growing louder and louder. Slowly pushing open the bedroom door, he saw his wife holding Da Bao, seemingly ready to feed him. Han Xuemei smiled and asked, "Back atst, did everything go smoothly today?" Lin Yi moved closer, watching the baby il its arms and cry loudly with its mouth wide open, and replied, "Everything went very smoothly; the babies'' household registrations are all sorted. After you finish feeding, I have a very, very important thing to tell you." Han Xuewei nodded, saying, "Then wait a few more minutes, please. The eldest is too impatient; if we don''t feed him quick, he''ll cry even louder!" Han Xuewei skillfully started feeding the baby, while Lin Yi stepped outside, closing the door behind him as he left. He immediately headed for the baby room, intending to check on his two other little darlings! "Babies, Daddy''s back! Did you miss Daddy at home?" Upon hearing the sound, his daughter Mengmeng reacted; she seemed to quickly recognize Lin Yi''s voice. Her little mouth, with a pacifier in it, moved, and her small hands began to wave about, making a soft humming noise for the first time today. Zhiyu, the second child, also turned his head in a very coordinated manner, as if he were looking toward Lin Yi. It must be said that this scene made Maternity Matron Ji and the nannyugh involuntarily. "These two little ones are really clever! Hahaha, they are just like little elves." Watching his two adorable babies, Lin Yi felt a surge of joy and immediately picked up both of them, one in each arm. After picking up the children, he could clearly feel they had gained a good bit of weight. He remembered that when they were first brought home from the hospital, neither of them weighed even five pounds, but in less than a month, both babies had surpassed six or seven pounds! Moreover, these days, they had started trying to support their bottles with their small hands while feeding! The matrons were right; they indeed were little elves. After the babies finished feeding, Lin Yi stayed by their side, coaxing them to sleep. Only when they were sound asleep did he tiptoe out of the baby room. In recent days, the babies had begun to establish their own circadian rhythms. After feeding, they took a short nap, and once they gradually woke up, what awaited them was afortable bath and then some ytime. This routine was excellent for the babies. They slept soundly during the day and, upon waking, spent their energy by bathing and ying, meaning they didn''t fuss at night and sometimes could even sleep through till dawn. This was also great for the adults, who at least didn''t need to get up in the middle of the night. Newborns were growing more quickly than Lin Yi had expected, and he soon became concerned about their nutrition. He seemed to recall from a book that infants also needed to intake trace elements and that it was also appropriate to supplement with calcium as needed. In any case, they were due for a full-month health checkup in a few days, and he could take that opportunity to consult with the doctor to inquire about the most efficient way to supplement the babies'' bodies. Of course, all this had to be based on a thorough health check of the babies first, and the supplementation would be tailored ording to their physical condition. He walked gently out of the baby room and headed for the bedroom. Once inside, he found his wife had soothed the baby to sleep in her arms. With a hush sign, Han Xuewei stood up and went to the baby room, cing the child back in the crib. Lin Yi followed her from start to finish. After she came out of the baby room, she asked Lin Yi, "Honey, what did you want to tell me? Is it important?" Lin Yi chuckled, then went around behind Han Xuewei and pushed her back into the bedroom, saying as he did, "Of course it''s very important! Come on, let''s go to the bedroom." "Because this is a gift for you, I want to tell you very formally." Sheughed upon hearing this and then asked, "It feels very mysterious, having to go to the bedroom to tell me." Lin Yi said, "Because it''s a piece of very good news! I''m worried you''ll be so happy when you find out that you might make noise and disturb the babies." Chapter 52: 52: The Big Surprise for You Lin Yi feigned mystery at that moment, slowly getting close to Han Xuewei''s ear and whispered, "I''ve prepared a big surprise for you, a vi. The property deed only has your name on it." Han Xuewei''s reaction waspletely within Lin Yi''s expectation. When she learned that her husband wanted to give her a vi, and even the property deed only had her name, Han Xuewei froze, too surprised to say anything for a long time! "Ah? You... you''re giving me a vi? It''s for me?" She stared at Lin Yi, her wide eyes filled with disbelief. "Yes, it''s for you, and our whole family will move there in the future. Just don''t mind it, okay! Hahaha." Lin Yi finished speaking and burst intoughter. "Why does the whole family have to move there? Isn''t it nice where we live now?" Her watery big eyes were full of confusion. "Well... that''s because the vi is much bigger than our current ce! The kids will each have their own room, and we''ll have much more living space, about 900 square meters, I guess." Lin Yi said with a serious face. Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei became even more shocked! 900 square meters? That big? It''s almost five timesrger than the vi we live in now! "Hu, hubby, where have you buried the vi?" Han Xuewei tried to calm herself down and continued to ask. At this point, Lin Yi got even closer to his wife, pushing her back to the edge of the bed. "The location is quite good, right in the city center, Xingjing Garden, Building No. 3. You will soon receive the property deed and the front door keys. Once I get them, I''ll hand them over to you. I''m not joking with you, nor would I ever lie to you." "No... I know you wouldn''t lie to me, and I wouldn''t doubt what you say to me..." Han Xuewei had no way out as Lin Yi steadily closed in, and she eventually sat down at the edge of the bed. Lin Yi seized the opportunity to get on the bed too, pinning his wife beneath him, observing her very attractive face flushed with surprise and joy, feeling an indescribable love in his heart. Although he pinned his wife down, he still propped up his body, not daring to touch her. At this time, the shock on Han Xuewei''s face had not dissipated, and her cheeks became flushed. Lin Yi lowered his head slightly, whispering in her ear, "You have to ept it no matter what, because this is my love. My love is like this, never hanging on my lips, expressing my feelings through real actions. I don''t make empty promises. So, are you satisfied with your husband?" Han Xuewei''s face was nearly red to her ears, and Lin Yi''s incredibly maic voice, slightly husky, made her somewhat intoxicated, her body trembling slightly. Could this be what they call being audio controlled? When Han Xuewei first took an interest in Lin Yi, part of it was because of his unique and maic voice. Sometimes she found listening to him talk was also a pleasure. She slightly closed her eyes, then gently said in Lin Yi''s ear, "Mm, I''m satisfied, super satisfied! I love you to death!" As soon as she finished speaking, her arms naturally wrapped around Lin Yi''s shoulders, causing him to be slightly taken aback at that moment. He had only intended to yfully tease his wife, but he didn''t expect this silly girl to take it seriously. Oh no, what should he do now? Lin Yi instantly became worried, as he could clearly feel that he... was reacting!! "Vivi..." The air suddenly became incredibly charged, Lin Yi''s heart pounded wildly, and he quickly grabbed Han Xuewei''s hands, softly calling her name. Han Xuewei also responded in a soft voice, her voice bing somewhat hoarse... Suddenly, Lin Yi grasped Han Xuewei''s neck with one hand, without any hesitation, and kissed her fiercely! Han Xuewei responded in kind, and the married couple passionately kissed, just as Lin Yi''s hand slowly reached out towards Han Xuewei! A knock on the door interrupted their next move! In an instant, they sprang apart! The next second, Lin Yi''s mother slowly opened the door. Seeing the two of them with strange expressions and standing awkwardly, she quickly understood and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, I''ve disturbed you, I''m so sorry!" As she spoke, Lin Yi''s mother quickly closed the door. She had initiallye to bring her daughter-inw some sliced fruit, but she did not expect to open the door to see them both blushing. Lin Yi''s mother didn''t know what to do! But no matter what, she had to intervene! After all, Han Xuewei was in her postpartum care period! Even if the young couple were burning with passion and couldn''t wait, they should not engage in that kind of activity! Health is the key! Han Xuewei''s well-being had to be prioritized and taken care of! No, she had to take charge of this matter no matter what! With this thought, Lin Yi''s mother hurried downstairs and sent a message to her son, asking him toe down for a moment. After Lin Yi''s mother left, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei sat on the bed in a daze, still not having recovered from the shock they''d just experienced! The knock on the door was just too sudden! No, they had to lock the door! The same thought urred in both of their minds. Lin Yi looked down at his phone and said with an awkward tone, "Wife... My, my mother said she wants me to..." "Mhm," Lin Yi hadn''t finished speaking when Han Xuewei quickly responded. At this moment, Han Xuewei already knew why Lin Yi''s mother was looking for him. "Then I''ll go downstairs to talk to her, I''ll be right back, don''t overthink..." After soothing Han Xuewei for a while, Lin Yi hurried downstairs. As soon as he stepped out, reaching the staircase, he saw his mother standing there, muttering something under her breath. Lin Yi hurried forward and asked, "What''s wrong, Mom?" Lin Yi''s mother quickly pulled her son aside and asked in a whisper, "What were you two doing just now? If I hadn''te in when I did, you would have caused a big problem. It''s not that I want to scold you, but Vivi is still in her postpartum period! No matter how anxious you are, it''s not okay! Health is the most important thing! She''s your wife." "And with a cesarean, the body is really hurt, and you need to take good care of her during this period. If something untoward were to happen, the damage would be permanent!" "No matter what, you have to wait another two months! Even after those two months, you can''t skimp on the necessary precautions! Remember, she cannot get pregnant within the two years following a cesarean!" Chapter 53: 53: Do Not Act Rashly "The Vivi family had a cesarean birth for three babies! So, it''s even more important to focus on postpartum uterine recovery. If by any chance she gets pregnant again, the consequences would be unimaginable! We might be forced to terminate the pregnancy, which is very harmful to her health!" "They are really young after all, so thoughtful too!" Mother Lin educated her son, believing deep down that her daughter-inw was exceptionally beautiful and captivating, making it understandable for her son to struggle with self-control. Her intervention aimed to make her son aware of the risks and ensure he wouldn''t act recklessly in such matters. Mother Lin truly adored her daughter-inw, not only for her beauty but also her sensibility, gentle nature, and inherent grace; she felt like ady from a stately family. Where else could they find such a splendid daughter-inw? She was indeed a blessing for the Lin Family! Based on the genes of this young couple, she believed their babies would grow up to be handsome boys and beautiful girls! However, Lin Yi suddenly eximed in protest, "Enough! Mom! Stop it! You''re worrying over nothing! Although what you just saw... might have been a bit intimate, I would never do such a thing while Vivi is in her confinement!" "I wouldn''tmit an act only a beast would do. You can rest assured, I know my limits. I''ve endured through the ten months of pregnancy, so can''t I manage a few more months?" "Mom, you can put your mindpletely at ease! Don''t you know what kind of person your son is? I would never do something to hurt Vivi and will stay away from anything that could!" Mother Lin, observing her son''s serious demeanor, finally chose to trust him, but still made him give a verbal promise before letting the matter go. After all, being experienced herself, Mother Lin knew her son well enough to trust that he wouldn''t likely do anything to harm Vivi. At that moment, Lin Yi''s phone suddenly rang; the iing call was from the infant supplies store clerk. "Mr. Lin, good afternoon. I have arrived at the entrance of your building with all the items you requested," she said. On hearing this, Lin Yi rushed towards the front door: "Understood, wait a moment, I''ll be right there." The moment he reached the door, he saw the female clerk looking around at their vi with a surprised gaze. Even if such a vi wasn''t situated in the city center, it wasn''t something an average person could afford! It was clear without saying that this person must be a wealthy boss! Seeing Lin Yi emerge, the clerk hurried forward to greet him: "Mr. Lin, here are the form and diapers you requested." Lin Yi noticed a taxi parked beside them with the trunk lid wide open, filled with baby supplies. The female clerk, having spoken, went back to moving items around, and the taxi driver simply sat silently in the car watching, showing no intention to help. Lin Yi stepped up to lend a hand, cing all the items at the doorstep, and then asked, "How much do I owe for these items? I''ll transfer the money to you." The clerk produced an invoice and addressed Lin Yi: "The form is priced at 3,000 yuan per case, and you''ve purchased five cases, making it 15,000 yuan. The medium andrge diapers are 97 yuan and 117 yuan each, and you bought five packs of each size, totaling 1,070 yuan. So, your total for the infant supplieses to 16,070 yuan, but we can offer you a discount of 8.8%, reducing the final price to 14,141 yuan." Lin Yi looked over the invoice briefly and asked indifferently, "How shall I pay?" The clerk pulled out a payment QR code and said politely, "You can just scan the code to make the payment, and I''ll upload your points to the system once I''m back." After scanning the code, Lin Yi immediately entered 14,500 yuan and transferred it without hesitation. "Ah? Mr. Lin, it seems you''ve sent the wrong amount. Only 14,141 yuan is needed." "You have worked hard; use the extra money for your taxi fare back and forth! You have worked hard," Lin Yi said to the clerk with a smile. Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately became excited and hurriedly thanked him, "That''s really so kind of you! I wish you a joyful life!" The female clerk''s excitement was naturally beyond words. She had made a decentmission from this order, easily close to a thousand, and the taxi fare here was less than 50. However, she had not expected Lin Yi to be so courteous, which touched her. "This man is really too kind. If such a person doesn''t be wealthy, it would truly be an injustice in this world!" After the female clerk left by taxi, Lin Yi went up and down the stairs several times, moving these items into the storage room. While moving the milk powder, he found that its weight was beyond his expectations, certainly not light! He even found it somewhat challenging to move! After spending quite a bit of time finishing this task, he returned to the bedroom. He gently pushed open the bedroom door and saw Han Xuewei already taking a nap. He tiptoed over to her side and kissed her forehead. In fact, Han Xuewei wasn''t fully asleep at that moment; she was pretending! The instant Lin Yi kissed her, Han Xuewei''s heart started to throb wildly. The rtionship between this married couple was like that of young lovers in the throes of romance. When kissed, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but clench her hands together, even preparing for the next step. Lin Yi''s gaze became a bit intense as he began to scrutinize the beauty in front of him, d in a dressing gown and looking very attractive. At that moment, Han Xuewei involuntarily blushed, Though she didn''t open her eyes, she could sense that Lin Yi was there beside her, not leaving her side. All of a sudden, Han Xuewei opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed as she said, "Why keep staring at me?" "I knew you were pretending to sleep! I didn''t believe you could have fallen asleep so quickly. Haha." Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei lying down and said cheerfully. "So you were purposely teasing me?" Han Xuewei smiled as well. "What''s wrong with teasing my own wife? Besides," he said, nting another kiss on Han Xuewei''s forehead. "Hubby, I really appreciate you!" Han Xuewei''s eyes suddenly filled with deep affection as she spoke sincerely to Lin Yi. Thetter ced his hand on Han Xuewei''s slightly messy hair, smiled, and said earnestly, "My little treasure, what''s there to be formal about with me? Your husband has many more gifts for you! And I''ll definitely make you very, very happy!" Chapter 54: 54 Another Wave of Rewards But just at that moment, Lin Yi''s mind suddenly recalled the system notification! It was that familiar voice again! "Ding! Congrattions, host! You''ve received a reward for your daily care of your wife, two million has been credited to your ount!" Lin Yi was also startled after hearing this! It seemed that the old ancestor''s advice was all correct! The saying that ''a wife brings wealth, never mistreat her, otherwise wealth will not enter your home'' is true! As a man, being good enough to one''s own wife, hence rewards keeping one after another! He even vividly remembered that the system appeared when he had made up his mind to be with Han Xuewei and had decided to have the baby. This inference wasn''t wrong at all! Han Xuewei snuggled into Lin Yi''s embrace, just softly murmuring an agreement, then she pulled Lin Yi over, and the two of them slept together. Han Xuewei at this moment was also deeply touched, they as a couple had never officially dated, directly stepping into the pce of marriage and giving birth to three adorable babies. Looking just at this affection, Han Xuewei was very proactive. Indeed, she did suffer from insecurity, but with the half-year foundation of their rtionship, Han Xuewei felt the sensation of being in love at every moment. She believed she had chosen the right person, living each day in bliss. This must be a dependable good husband, right? Lin Yi was also startled by Han Xuewei suddenly pulling on him like this and quickly said, "Vivi, not now." Lin Yi immediately turned his gaze to Han Xuewei, his expression bing somewhat odd. Thetter just smiled faintly, teasing on purpose, "Of course I know that, just want you to lie beside me, get some good rest. You also didn''t sleep wellst night. And you got up so early today, you''ve been busy until now, you must be tired, right?" "Also, what did mom talk to you about when she asked you to step out?" Han Xuewei couldn''t help but be curious. "What could it be, she just said... cough cough, just let me not rush things, to wait for another month or two, wait for you to regain your strength," Lin Yi said, scratching his head embarrassedly. At his words, Han Xuewei''s face turned red once again. It was indeed awkward just now, who would have thought to be interrupted by her mother-inw during an intimate moment with her husband. Could there be anything more embarrassing than this? Seeing that Han Xuewei''splexion was off, Lin Yi knew she also felt uneasy talking about this matter, so he smiled and stroked her head, saying, "It''s okay, mom was just giving a kind reminder, there''s no other implication, after all, she''s also very concerned about your recovery." "And she was right, I just now indeed almost... lost control of myself," Lin Yi expressed with relief. Fortunately, mom came in just then, otherwise, he really might have lost control, and the consequences would be truly frightful! The most important was the irreversible damage it could have caused to his own wife! Ah, it was all because his wife was just too beautiful, her slightly plump figure during the nursing period was precisely his ideal type! Who wouldn''t be tempted by that? Han Xuemei blushed and buried her face in Lin Yi''s chest, saying shyly, "Husband, it''s all my fault, I won''t dare to tease you like that again." After hearing that, Lin Yi was surprised and thought, how could this be? They were a couple, after all; isn''t it normal to have a bit of fun like that? Not flirting with each other, how could that be right? He didn''t like that at all! No, he had to make sure his wife kept up this good habit, no matter what! It was rare for her to be so enlightened! Not only should he flirt with her in the future, but he should flirt more, and even better, focus all the flirting on just him! Which man doesn''t like it when his wife takes the initiative? Such a life would be so much more interesting! It would be even better if they could y role-ying games and explore all kinds of different stockings... life would definitely be more fun! Lin Yi''s mind began to wander with endless thoughts. After all, he had learned quite a bit from some enlightening movies, so he had a lot of fantasies about things he was interested in! So Lin Yi suddenly sat up and eximed, "Don''t do that! Honey, I really like it when you flirt with me!" After hearing this, Han Xueweiughed and said, "Who would have thought? Seems like guys really do like it when girls take the lead!" When Han Xuewei and Lin Yi were together, she had been worried about theirck of emotional foundation, so she had looked up many tips on love online, and discovered that the top-rated advice was: the more proactive the woman, the more hooked the man! However, this principle came with a premise, which was that the girl had to be pretty enough! With Han Xuewei''s looks, surely every man who saw her would be smitten, right? Yet she had always been quite conservative, and if Lin Yi didn''t take the initiative, she''d be hesitant to show her other side. Looking back now, she realized how much courage she mustered up that night they spent together¡ªit was almost crazy! Lin Yi looked at his wife, whoy in his arms still giggling, and hugged her even tighter, "Why are you taking pleasure in my misery? Are you really not afraid... not afraid that I''ll lose control and make a mistake?" To his surprise, Han Xuewei kept onughing and said, "I''m not afraid of you. If you get too carried away, I''ll just call Mom over!" Lin Yi was left without aeback, and after a while of cooing and cuddling together, they fell asleep. Even in sleep, they held each other very tightly, and it was actually their first time sleeping this way! After all, Vivi had been pregnant until not long ago, sporting arge belly every day, and it was tough for her to sleep well, not to mention that hugging wasn''t very convenient, and their rtionship hadn''t been this intimate before. But after spending days together, they had grown much closer, and being in the throes of love, their actions towards each other had be much more intimate, with not a hint of awkwardness. Han Xuewei clearly sensed this very delicate rtionship with Lin Yi, and she was quite happy about it. Seeing Lin Yi deeply asleep by her side, Han Xuewei nned to snuggle up in her husband''s arms for a solid night''s rest; she really loved sleeping embraced like that. But just at that moment, cries suddenly came from the baby''s room! The baby had unexpectedly woken up! Since the baby was awake, Han Xuewei had no choice but to get up from bed! There was no helping it; once you be a mother, this is just how life goes. Han Xuewei sighed deeply, fully aware that raising a baby meant tough times followed by sweet ones, and she was willing to endure it. To avoid waking Lin Yi, she gently got out of bed, quietly left the room, and after closing the bedroom door behind her, she quickly went to breastfeed the baby in the nursery. At night, Aunt Wang generally helped take care of the baby, because maternity matrons were busy during the day handling many things, so when evening came, Aunt Wang would take over to let them rest. Chapter 55: 55 Considerate Daughter-in-Law Upon hearing the baby''s cries, both mothers hurried out. Han Xuewei''s mother, seeing her daughter rush over, asked, "I thought you were asleep, did you wake up so soon?" "Yes, I came over as soon as I heard the child crying," Han Xuewei replied. Han Xuewei''s mother-inw handed Er Bao to her, saying, "Today is it Zhiyu''s turn to breastfeed, isn''t it?" Han Xuewei took the baby and said to Er Bao with a smile, "Yes, it''s our Er Bao''s turn today." This little guy was very well-behaved, and even more sensible. As soon as Han Xuewei held him in her arms, he would immediately quiet down, which waspletely different from Da Bao, who previously was just like an adorable little cat in grandma''s arms. Han Xuewei looked over at the other two cribs and noticed the other two babies were still sound asleep. She then pulled over a small stool and sat beside the crib, openly breastfeeding the baby. Mother Lin asked anxiously after seeing this, "Is Lin Yi sleeping in the bedroom?" Han Xuewei typically wouldn''t breastfeed in front of others; she would usually take the baby into the bedroom, which is why everyone was surprised by her nursing like this. But she just smiled lightly and continued, "Lin Yi has been busy for a long time today, he was especially tired, and fell asleep as soon as hey down." Han Xuewei''s mother also added, "Yes, I saw him leave early in the morning, he came back at noon famished and devoured his food." Mother Lin also said with a smile, "Vivi is really considerate!" Seeing her daughter-inw be so caring and attentive to Lin Yi, Mother Lin was quite moved in her heart. Needless to say, she couldn''t be more pleased with her daughter-inw! Although she had not interacted with Han Xuewei very much overall, Mother Lin, who had climbed the ranks as a merchant over many years, was certainly not wrong in her judgment. From their first meeting, she had noticed a unique quality in Han Xuewei, and found her to be very adept in dealing with people. Moreover, after meeting Han Xuewei''s parents, she found them to be quite elegant and polite, understanding and reasonable, so it made sense that they raised such a well-mannered daughter! So Mother Lin''s satisfaction with her daughter-inw was heartfelt. Blushing slightly upon hearing her mother-inw''spliments, Han Xuewei shyly responded, "It''s all part of my duty, after all, he is my husband, and I will certainly take good care of him in the future." Mother Lin and Han Xuewei''s mother exchanged a look and both smiled, the whole family basking in a happy atmosphere. After spending these days with Lin Yi and his family, Han Xuewei''s mother had gained a general understanding of them. She too had noticed that her inws were very adept in social etiquette, as expected of seasoned merchants who had weathered many storms. They were all very kind to Vivi and also very courteous to her and her husband. The Han family had only one precious daughter, of course, they hoped she had married the right person! Now that her daughter had happily married a son-inw whom she was very satisfied with, she was naturally much reassured. And her husband, Old Han, had more than once mentioned to her how sensible their son-inw was, could she be anything but pleased? If falling in love involves two people, then marriage involves two families. In today''s society, it''s rare to find someone capable like Lin Yi, who also cares deeply for his family. Watching the young couple so affectionate every day, the parents from both sides are quite happy. And so, time passed day by day, and nearly half a monthter, Han Xuewei finally concluded her confinement. Lin Yi, having read books on the subject, was determined to let his wife rest for a full two months of confinement, especially since she had given birth to triplets, which greatly impacted her health. In a short while, the maternity matron they had hired would leave, and when that time came, the responsibility of caring for the three babies would fall on the three families. On the day the babies turned one month old, Lin Yi, remembering the instructions of the medical staff, needed to take the three babies to get vinated. To prepare for this day, Lin Yi bought a very high-end stroller especially for the babies, making traveling much more convenient. Each family could take care of one baby, making it manageable for everyone. However, Lin Yi had been busy with family affairs these past few days and hadpletely forgotten to arrange a car for the nanny. Without a doubt, he had to quickly provide the nanny with a car, preferably a spacious one, so they could go out with one less vehicle in the future. After Lin Yi''s parents exined, the whole family came to know about the achievements Lin Yi had made throughout his years of entrepreneurship. With this in mind, everyone had a better understanding of his current wealth and were not surprised anymore. Han Xuewei''s parents were, of course, very happy upon learning the truth and couldn''t be more fond of their son-inw. Lin Yi originally wanted Han Xuewei to take a good rest at home today and not join them, but his wife insisted on going along. "That won''t do," she said. "Today is the first time the babies are getting vinated, and as their mother, I can''t miss this important moment. I can''t miss any important moments! Plus, I''ve been in confinement for a month, and the wound has mostly healed. Going out for a while is like getting some fresh air¡ªI''m about to suffocate staying at home all the time! It''s better to go with you and watch the babies get vinated." "My dear husband, I know you''re the best. I just want to go..." As she spoke, Han Xuewei even began to act coquettishly, and Lin Yi was helpless against it. He had no resistance to a woman''s coquetry, especially when his wife was looking at him with big, longing eyes. Lin Yi, feeling quite helpless, conceded, "You can go, but you must dress warmly, especially your head must not be exposed to the wind, or confinement illnesses can be really ufortable." After much pestering by Han Xuewei, Lin Yi had no choice but to take her along. Today''s outing was, after all, the babies'' first glimpse of the world outside and also thergest family outing since the beginning of confinement. Lin Yi drove his Range Rover, with Mother Lin holding the eldest, Han Xuewei''s mother holding the second child, and Vivi holding the youngest daughter in the back row. Lin Yi''s father drove his own car, taking Han Xuewei''s father and Aunt Wang, and off the whole family went to get the babies vinated. Before departing, they checked all the things they needed to bring and got up especially early for today. Lin Yi had also learned online about the precautions for vinating babies in advance. Chapter 56: 56 Vaccination Avoid going for vinations on Saturdays and Sundays as it is particrly crowded then, since many parents work during the week and only have time to take their babies for vinations on the weekend. Moreover, vinations need to be scheduled in advance. Lin Yi had booked the babies'' vinations early. Although he had to take all three babies at once, it saved time having them done together. The whole family drove there and in no time, arrived at the service center. After getting there, they discovered that quite a few cars had already parked. It seemed that there were many babies getting vinated today! They finally found two parking spots and were able to settle in. The three dads hurried down from the car, propping up the strollers. The triplets had already been fed milk at home and changed into fresh diapers, now they were sleeping soundly. They carefully ced the babies into the strollers and made their way towards themunity service spot. Lin Yi filled out the necessary information, having memorized the kids'' ID numbers by heart. After finishing, a nearby nurse told everyone, "You can go to the third floor for the vination shots." With that said, the nurse looked at the group with a slightly strange expression. "Okay, thank you," Lin Yi responded without saying much, and directly lead everyone to the elevator. Lin Yi noticed the nurse''s peculiar gaze, but had nothing to say about it, as he knew exactly what the nurse was thinking at that moment. Soon they reached the third floor, and upon the elevator doors opening, they saw the vination processing area; the hall was already crowded with hardly any vacant seats. Many parents were still holding their babies, standing in the corners of the hall¡ªand even standing by the elevator entrance, you could hear the cries of children being vinated in the rooms across. The cries were heart-wrenchingly loud! Seeing this scene, Lin Yi knew they had left home a bitte today; it was almost eleven o''clock now, which was nearing peak vination time. ording to other people''s suggestions online, it was best to arrive before ten o''clock; otherwise, you''d end up waiting a long time. Lin Yi quickly took three numbers from the ticket dispenser and estimated that fifteen or so other babies needed their vinations before it would be their turn. Besides, after the babies were vinated, they had to stay there for half an hour as the medical staff would observe their conditions during that time, which meant there were still a lot of people lingering in the hall. As soon as Lin Yi and the others stepped out of the elevator, many eyes in the hall turned towards them¡ªall because they were carrying three babies! It seemed they had triplets! Therefore, wherever they went, many eyes followed. The onlookers began to talk amongst themselves. "Looks like the whole family''se along!" "It seems so bizarre; did they have triplets all at once, or did the old couple have a second child? I''ve been staring for a while and still can''t figure it out." "I reckon it''s probably a second child. The two-child policy was put forward and has been fully implemented, but judging by their age, the couple must be in theirte forties, right? Would they still choose to have a second child? That''s really bold! I truly admire them!" "Right. I also heard that person call her ''mom.'' It''s definitely the whole family. But didn''t you think it''s unnecessary to be so crazy for the second-child policy? Wouldn''t that make her an older mother?" "Indeed, it''s unusual. I can also understand that young man''s feelings¡ªjust as he''s starting his own family, his parents have another child. Anyone would be overwhelmed, right?! It would be maddening!" The volume of these discussions wasn''t loud, but Lin Yi had good hearing and wasn''t far away, so he clearly heard their conversation! Really, what does someone else having a second child have to do with you? Besides, if you''re going to discuss others'' affairs, shouldn''t you at least know the truth beforehand? Why talk nonsense about things you know nothing about? After hearing this, Lin Yi''s father couldn''t help but re at those people, but Mother Lin tugged at him, consoling him, "Don''t listen to them. There are all sorts of people who will say anything these days. Don''t stoop to their level! Really, what does it matter to them if others choose to have a second child? It''s not like they''re eating their food!" Han Xuewei''s parents, being very cultured individuals, didn''t bother arguing with these people. Compared to this chatter, the two sets of grandparents were still reveling in the joy of having grandsons and granddaughters. While waiting, Lin Yi started to chat with everyone, turning the conversation towards buying a new car. "Here''s what I''m thinking. I want to buy another car, preferably one with more space, considering ourrge family. Whether it''s for family outings or other matters, it''s inconvenient to drive too many cars. It''s better to just pick one big car right away. A camper van is quite affordable, and so are dedicated nanny-vans." Lin Yi''s father was surprised to hear this, "I know about camper vans, but nanny-vans are new to me. Some cars, despite appearing to have a lot of space, are not at all economical¡ªit''s important to be cautious with such purchases! It''s best to prioritize cost-effectiveness. After all, we won''t use it a lot, so the depreciation rate must be considered..." Upon hearing this, Mother Lin joined the discussion, "I rmend buying a camper van! I''ve seen many people find it convenient to drive. However, the only downside is that the vehicle is somewhatrge. But it must be veryfortable." "And even the smallest camper van has a bed inside, which is a major convenience. During travel, the kids can rest directly on the bed, and if we put some toys there, it will be more fun than sitting in a car seat. That''s why I think camper vans are morefortable." Han Xuewei''s mother also smiled and added, "I agree with you, mother-inw. We also considered getting a camper van before, but it seemed like a waste for just the three of us. Now that our family has grown, it''s very convenient for cooking or heating milk for the children on the go, and parking isn''t a worry either." "Right, one person can drive while others y with the children. Tired drivers can take turns, which is ideal for road trips," added Han Xuewei''s father, showing his agreement. After thinking for a while, Lin Yi''s father realized that there was indeed some truth to this. After careful consideration, he finally said slowly, "That seems reasonable, butpared to nanny-vans, camper vans are much more expensive!" "Expensive has its advantages, and you don''t need to worry about it¡ªwe''ll let our son handle it," Mother Lin said with a smile to her son, "No problem, right son?" Lin Yi gave a helpless shrug and looked at his dad, "Did you alle to a consensus so quickly? I was thinking that a nanny-van would be more convenient for traveling. Take the Alfa, for example; the model is quite nice." Chapter 57: 57 Buy a motorhome? "I think the Alfa is not as convenient as the Land Rover Range Rover you drive. In two or three years, when the baby gets naughty, they definitely won''t be willing to just sit quietly in the car! If that''s the case, it might be better to buy a motorhome; the kids can y inside, and it''s very safe. Don''t you think so?" Lin Yi''s mother started encouraging her son again. She now clearly understood that when it came to selecting a car, her son no longer needed to worry about the price. As long as it was genuinely convenient, the cost was irrelevant. After hearing the suggestions from the elders, Lin Yi finally nodded and said, "You''re right, since everyone thinks a motorhome is good, I''ll stand on your side! Let''s go car hunting together after some time, and try to get the car within this month. It will be much more convenient for travel in the future." Lin Yi''s parents nodded in agreement, "Yes, a motorhome is indeed convenient. Today, it took forever to find two parking spots." "In this era, almost everyone has a car, and our big family traveling in one vehicle will be much faster," Han Xuewei''s father added, nodding. "After getting vinated, let''s find some time to go to the dealership, and we must choose carefully. The space arrangement in different motorhomes varies," Lin Yi said earnestly. "If you''re buying the car, then you guys go. I don''t really understand these things, and I can just stay home to watch the kids," Lin Yi''s mother suddenly said. Today, one of the maternity matrons had left, so Lin Yi''s mother needed to invest more effort in taking care of the children. Moreover, Han Xuewei''s mother hadn''t retired yet and was about to return to work in a few days, so Lin Yi''s mother had to focus all her attention on the family. She had recently handed over all her duties to Lin Yi''s father, and visiting thepany once a week was enough. She spent the rest of her time at home with the children. Han Xuewei''s mother also said hurriedly, "I don''t need to go, do I? I really don''t know much about cars, after all. You guys choose, and I''ll just stay home, no need for me to go." Men have a great interest in cars, and every man has a dream of owning a luxury car! A car is a man''s pride, and if you have a beauty by your side and can drive a luxury car, you''re really a winner in life! Seeing that his mom and mother-inw weren''t too keen on going, Lin Yi had no choice but to have his dad and father-inw go with him. "Tomorrow''s Saturday, and we''re free anyway, let''s go together. How about it, inws? Do you have time tomorrow?" Lin Yi''s father asked with a smile. Ever since Han Xuewei''s father moved in, he had been busy helping take care of the children. In the past few days, he had been bustling about, even going to Xiangcheng by himself to buy baby form and diapers. Still, he had to visit thepany every now and then. Han Xuewei''s father said with a smile, "I happen to be free tomorrow, but I have an important meeting on Monday, so I need to get back at least by Houtian." Lin Yi replied directly, "No worries, it won''t take too long. In that case, let''s go take a look tomorrow." If they were nning to take the car home the same day, they definitely needed to visit a big dealership. Small dealers often don''t have vehicles in stock, let alone specialty motorhomes with a small target audience! After chatting for a while, they heard their number being called on the loudspeaker. "Number 99, pleasee to register." Upon hearing his number called, Lin Yi quickly reached into his bag and pulled out the vine books and went to the front desk to register. The person at the desk was taken aback when he saw three books, his gaze toward Lin Yi turned a bit strange. He then looked at the babies'' birth dates and seemed even more surprised. "Wow! They are triplets!" The staff member couldn''t help but be curious; triplets were indeed rare, at least in her more than ten years on the job, she had never seen them! Lin Yi simply smiled politely, then said, "Yes, they are my babies." The staff member''s voice was loud, and many people turned their eyes towards them. After hearing the term ''triplets,'' everyone suddenly realized with a start of surprise that after talking for so long, they hadn''t expected that the family had had triplets all at once! The staff, unable to hide her curiosity, said with a smile, "That''s really impressive! Your wife is amazing too, the triplets were conceived naturally, right? That''s so rare, I''ve worked here for so long and have never seen triplets!" Lin Yi "hmm"ed in response, without saying much; that was his answer. He didn''t want a lot of people gossiping about his family and his children behind his back. The person smiled and took the vination booklet, wrote some things in it, then ced it under the printer. Afterpleting these tasks, she smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Each baby needs to be vinated twice. I''ve registered you now; you can hold the babies and line up at that entrance, it will be your turn soon." After retrieving his booklet, Lin Yi nodded politely and said, "Okay, thank you." Then, therge family proceeded majestically to the designated area and began to queue up. There weren''t many people ahead in line, and judging by the rate things were moving, they would be able to get the vinations in about fifteen minutes. But while they were waiting, their eldest baby suddenly woke up¡ªperhaps the noisy environment was too much for him, and feeling uneasy, he began crying as soon as he awoke. Lin Yi''s father immediately took the child from his wife''s arms and soothed him, "There, there, it''s alright, grandpa is here, don''t cry, oh, oh..." Guided by the tears of the eldest son, the other two children also woke up. Perhaps it was because the three babies were usually on the same schedule, they tended to sleep and awake at the same time. This kept the entire family busy. This situation had its pros and cons. At least they weren''t in a situation where after calming one baby down, another would wake up and cry¡ªthat would be a real headache. Having the same schedule meant the whole family was either busy all at once or rxed all at once. Parents who have had twins certainly share this sentiment. Han Xuewei''s father swiftly took the younger brother out of the stroller, "Don''t cry, Zhiyu is good, grandfather is here, there you go, grandfather will hold you." Lin Yi instinctively took his daughter, who had not yet started to cry, into his arms, and said, somewhat gleefully, "Our little Mengmeng is the well-behaved one, Mengmeng is the best-behaved! Mengmeng, won''t you cry? Daddy is here!" After such amotion, the people lining up in front turned around to look. After hearing their address, they finally understood¡ªso the two older couples were the grandparents and maternal grandparents of the babies? The busybodies who were previously chatting couldn''t help but marvel; it was a misunderstanding, and the family had had triplets! But then, those people started a new round of discussion! "Wow, isn''t that so rare? This is the first time I''ve seen triplets! And there are two boys and one girl! It feels so magical!!" Chapter 58: 58: The Focus of Discussion "It''s rare enough to see twins, but to encounter triplets today! Indeed, it''s quite miraculous." For a moment, everyone''s faces were filled with astonishment. It''s believed that wherever these triplets go, they''ll surely be the center of everyone''s attention! Everyone was profoundly moved by Han Xuewei''s greatness. It must not be easy being the mother of triplets! Those who were initially babbling nonsense hadpletely forgotten that they were just joking about theirrge family! As for Lin Yi, he was just holding and soothing the baby, not caring at all about what the people around him were saying. That''s life, as long as you take care of your own, that''s enough; the rest doesn''t matter! "Treasure Body had some milk beforeing out, so why is he suddenly crying? Could it be that he is hungry again?" Lin Yi''s mother asked anxiously as she watched her well-behaved grandson crying so loudly. Han Xuewei said to her, "Mom, today Da Bao had breast milk, but he didn''t eat well when I fed him and fell asleep soon after, so he must be crying because he''s hungry. Let me try feeding him now." Upon hearing this, Lin Yi''s mother quickly looked around and pointed to a room, saying, "Then you should take the baby there, that''s the nursing room." Lin Yi, ready to carry the baby over, said, "Should I apany you? Because you won''t be able to feed the baby when it''s time for the vination." Han Xuewei took her daughter and then said, "It''s not convenient for you to go, you still have other moms feeding their babies here, I can go by myself." After hearing this, Lin Yi didn''t know what else to say. He had wanted to apany his wife, but he had overlooked that there were other moms nursing their babies inside! Lin Yi''s mother hurriedly said, "Then I''ll go with you, Lin Yi can wait here." Without another word, Lin Yi''s mother promptly took Han Xuewei and the baby and headed towards the room. Just at that moment, the woman who had registered the three babies happened to pass by and casually asked, "I noticed you didn''t have any medical reports in hand when I saw you earlier. The babies are just a month old, do you have their medical reports?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi became anxious, "Do we need medical reports, too? Does vination require so many things?" At that point, Han Xuewei and several elders cast surprised nces at him. Seeing everyone''s stunned expressions, the woman shrugged helplessly and said, "Is this your first time here? You certainly wouldn''t know about these things. A medical check-up is indispensable, and if the medical report shows the baby is fine, then they can be vinated. That''s why many parents have their babies checked in advance at the maternal and child health center. Didn''t the doctor tell you all this?" At this moment, Lin Yi pped his forehead, feeling helpless, "I really did forget... But now... we''ve already queued for such a long time..." Lin Yi''s father hurriedly thanked the staff member, saying, "Thank you so much for reminding us, otherwise we would have wasted so much time here." The staffer said matter-of-factly, "It''s all part of the job, but don''t worry. We also have a clinic here where the babies can be checked. You''ll just need to queue again and take a number over there!" Lin Yi looked towards the nursing room not far away and asked, "Our turn is almost up to be called, if we go for the check-up now, will we be able to get back in time to continue with the injection??" The woman nced at the long queue and then said, "Let one person stay here in line, and the others can take the baby for the check-up! It''s also better to rejoin the line from the end. There are almost 20 babies ahead, and each baby takes about three minutes, so you have an hour." After thinking for a moment, the staff member continued, "And at this hour, the clinic should be empty, so you''ll get the results quickly. However, you can only get a routine examination. If you want a moreprehensive one, you should take the baby to the maternal and child health hospital!" Lin Yi expressed his gratitude, "Alright, thank you so much. Otherwise, we would have been busy for nothing." "Given your special circumstances, you can also let the staff inside know in advance that you''re taking the baby for a check-up and will be back quickly. When your number is called, they can wait a bit or let the others go first. These are not major issues. However, the one-month check-up for the baby is absolutely essential. Although our clinic can only give a general check, it''s important because some babies are not suited for vinations so early on. Discuss this among yourselves, I have to get back to work." Lin Yi said with an apologetic tone, "I''m really sorry for taking up so much of your time, but thank you!" The woman replied kindly, "Don''t worry, it''s part of my job." After that, she returned to her post. Lin Yi had been really negligent when he came, forgetting such an important matter. He wasn''t even clear on what the medical check-up for the baby would involve. But now there was no time to worry about that; he just had to wait patiently for Han Xuewei to finish feeding the baby. Just then, Lin Yi''s father remarked, "I didn''t expect that a vination for the baby would require a medical check-up. It seems my general knowledge isn''t sufficient!" For their generation, they indeed had little concept of such things; when they were young, not to mention vinations, there wasn''t even enough milk to drink. Even Lin Yi, who was raised by his mother while his father was busy with work, had little involvement in other childrearing tasks. Therefore, Lin Yi''s father,cking in parenting knowledge, naturally didn''t know about the medical check-up requirement for a one-month-old baby before vination. He had even had to practice for a long time to learn how to hold his grandchild properly, and in Lin Yi''s mother''s eyes, he was seen as rough and certainly not delicate enough to care for babies. Lin Yi himself shook his head helplessly, saying, "I was negligent too; the doctor clearly exined it to me." He felt some regret; although he had a remarkable memory for reading or watching videos, it never urred to him that he could forget something the doctor said. From now on, he resolved that for anything rted to his baby, he would have to switch on his "skill." Moreover, the one-month medical check-up for the baby was indeed extremely important. Seeing Lin Yi''s self-reproach, Han Xuewei''s motherforted him, "Don''t worry, we found out in time, and it''s not toote. If needed, we can just go to the maternal and child health hospital. It won''t be a hassle, so there''s no need to me yourself." Chapter 59: 59: "Pregnancy Brain" for Three Years Lin Yi''s father was also very optimistic, "Indeed, since we''re free this afternoon, it might as well be the perfect time to take the treasures to get a check-up. If it really doesn''t work out, we cane back first thing tomorrow morning for the vination. It''s quite convenient to make an appointment online, and none of this is a big deal." Lin Yi still shook his head and said, "I was actually nning to spend tomorrow morning selecting a motorhome." Han Xuewei''s father added at this point, "Then let''s take the kids to the maternal and child health hospital for a check-up in the morning! The RV can wait until the afternoon. As long as you choose one, I''ll pay for it; consider it a wedding gift for my daughter. It''s a good chance for me to show my support." Han Xuewei''s father was very generous, having long since made this decision without any ambiguity. After all, there were already three cars in the family, and they had previously agreed to use a car as a dowry. Now was the time to make good on that promise, especially since the children had just had their first month celebration, making it the perfect time to buy the vehicle! Seeing Han Xuewei''s father''s earnestness, Lin Yi could only smile and say, "Then I shall graciously ept! Thank you, Father-inw!" Even though Lin Yi was now very wealthy, he knew that he couldn''t refuse this gift. It was a gesture from his father-inw, not only meant for him but also for his daughter and grandchildren. He couldn''t meddle; he would have to find other ways to slowly return therge sum to his father-inw''s pocket. Just like that, everyone quickly reached an agreement on what to do the following day. Less than ten minutester, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi''s mothers came out holding the babies. Lin Yi hurried forward and said, "Mom, honey, we only found out just now that the baby needs a check-up before getting vinated. I''m going to go to the check-up room and get a number!" It was then that Han Xuewei suddenly remembered, "Oh my, I just remembered too, the doctor had reminded me before. Sigh, I''m bing more forgetful. Is this the so-called ''pregnancy brain'' thatsts for three years?" While holding his daughter, Lin Yi didn''t forget tofort his wife, "Ha ha ha, turning into a little silly?" Upon hearing that, Han Xuewei''s cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment, but when she looked up, she saw the elders smiling at her, leaving her nowhere to hide. She yfully said to Lin Yi, "How could you say such a thing, not even avoiding people!" At that moment, Han Xuewei was quite shy. She felt that such sweet nothings should be whispered between spouses, not announced loudly in front of others; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. Upon seeing this, everyone elseughed and quickly turned their heads, "Alright, alright, let''s pretend we didn''t hear anything." After the joking subsided, Lin Yi carried the children toward the check-up area. Since there weren''t many people there, they were able to get a number straight away. Even before the number was securely in hand, the loudspeaker called out for that very number. It seemed their luck was good; no one else was waiting. The whole family followed along, bringing the three babies inside. The doctor was stunned to see so many people arrive at once. "How did you... line up ande in? I just called one number." Seeing three babies being brought in all at once would baffle anyone, and no one would guess that the three were from the same litter! "We only called one number just now, so those behind, please don''t rush. Stay outside and wait; it will be quick," the doctor said as he stood up to start directing. However, Lin Yi immediately exined, "Doctor, the number called was mine, but we are all one family." The doctor seemed very puzzled, "One family?" Lin Yi''s father quickly said, "We are a family. I am the baby''s grandfather." Han Xuewei''s father also hastened to say, "I am the baby''s maternal grandfather. We are all together. These three babies are all ours." After hearing this, the doctor suddenly understood, his expression revealing a touch of surprise, "Ah, triplets!" Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, we have triplets." The doctor''s eyes showed envy as he eximed, "That''s really rare! Even twins are umon nowadays, and here you have triplets. You are truly blessed! Then, bring the babies over." Hearing the doctor''s words, everyone quickly brought the babies over to the doctor, who carefully put each little one on the baby scale to be weighed. After quite a bustling process, the height and weight of the three babies were all measured. Han Xuewei was on the side, diligently recording the data. The doctor also carefully checked the babies'' limbs, followed by their mouths. Although it was a tedious process, the examination waspleted in less than ten minutes. Logically, the next step would be to proceed with the vinations. Afterparing the recorded data with theputer, the doctor said very responsibly, "The babies are in good shape, but since they''re only a month old, I rmend doing a detailed check-up, especially aplete blood count and tests for bone calcium; these are very important for the babies." Lin Yi replied, "Then, thank you very much." And with that, Lin Yi grabbed the three A4 papers with the babies'' health check information, and after everyone thanked the doctor, they all returned to the main hall. By now, the queue for vinations had dwindled, and looking around, the hall was nearly empty of waiting patrons. Lin Yi checked the time; it was already approaching noon, and the ce would be closing soon. In a little while, they would stop taking numbers. It seemed that the morning had not been enough. Lin Yi led everyone to some empty seats to rest for a while. "Everyone, please take a seat. Honey, you sit too. Are you tired from today?" Lin Yi quickly offered his wife a seat. Then he said to the two elders holding babies, "Mother-inw, Mom, please sit down and rest! You''re holding the babies, after all." Since there weren''t many seats left, after the mothers settled down with their babies, the others had to stand. But the remaining group was all men, and it was natural for them to give up their seats for thedies. Han Xuewei''s motherughed, "You must be tired from running around, right? We can squeeze in; there''s room to sit." "Ah, don''t mention it. Standing for a bit doesn''t bother me, Mengmeng is light, and I''m not tired at all. You all just sit down," he dismissed. Chapter 60: 60 Vaccination Han Xuewei''s mother could only sit down and say, "Let''s rest for a little while then, the babies will start crying again soon enough, and there will be no chance to rx." Lin Yi''s mother suddenly said, "I also remember when our Lin Yi was little and went to the hospital for vinations, he cried his heart out, and no one could calm him down." Han Xuewei''s mother smiled and said, "Did he cry fiercely? I remember Vivi was pretty okay as a child, she just whimpered and shed a couple tears during vination, and she was fine soon after." "In my opinion, our eldest grandson''s temperament is simply too much like our Lin Yi''s!" Lin Yi''s father added from the side. "The little grandson and granddaughter do indeed resemble our Vivi, both very well-behaved." Lin Yi''s mother continued, "In a few years when the babies are a bit older, we absolutely must not let the hot-tempered elder brother bully the other two little ones!" "Yes, education is most important, we need to tell him early on that as an elder brother, he must be responsible and always protect his younger brother and sister. Judging from his current weight, our Da Bao will certainly be big and strong, a chubby little fellow indeed." The whole family chatted away as they waited for their turn, and when they brought up the story of Lin Yi''s vinations as a child, he was the first to burst intoughter. After a short wait, the baby''s name came through the speakers. "Please Lin Zhiyane to the examination room to prepare for your appointment." Everyone was a bit surprised to hear the name so soon and quickly picked up the babies and headed for the examination room. The nurse responsible for vinations, seeing so many people pour in, said loudly, "Don''t bring in so many people, those who haven''t been called, please wait outside." "Our baby is a set of triplets, we''re all one family." "Yes, nurse, we''re the baby''s grandparents, they are the maternal grandparents, and these two are the parents of the three babies." At this moment, only Aunt Wang stood in the hall, looking after the baby stroller and other personal belongings outside. The nurse and a nearby doctor, upon seeing this big family and the three adorable little ones, had looks of astonishment on their faces! "They''re really triplets?" Lin Yi replied calmly, "Yes, they are triplets." The nurse took out three syringes, while busily informing everyone, "Triplets are really rare these days, and to have two boys and one girl at that!" Lin Yi responded with a polite smile, but said nothing more. "We need to wake all three babies up, we can''t inject them while they''re asleep, otherwise it could cause a fright," said the nurse. Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei''s mother quickly began to gently wake the babies, "So that''s how it is. I thought it would be easier to soothe them if they were asleep. Sweetheart, wake up,e on, wake up." Lin Yi''s mother also hurriedly picked up Da Bao, attempting to gently get the baby to wake, but after a long while, it was in vain. It looked like the little guy wasn''t done sleeping. After aimlessly turning his head a few times, he was fast asleep again. Han Xuewei quickly took out her cellphone and started recording the scene beside them, intending to capture the three babies'' first vination. The nurse, seeing this scene, came over to help and gently fiddled with Da Bao''s ear, hoping to wake the baby from sleep, but the little one merely twitched a few times and then fell back asleep. The nurse was somewhat helpless about this and could only gently pat the baby''s little hand. After a few pats, Da Bao quickly woke from his sleep and then began to cry uncontrobly. Upon witnessing this scene, everyone started tough. The nurse also revealed the syringe in her hand and signaled to Mother Lin to open the baby''s clothes to expose an arm. Since two shots were required, both arms would have to endure a prick this time. Surely the little one would cry terribly, right? Indeed, as everyone expected, the nurse and doctor each held a syringe and injected them one after the other. The little one was already crying fiercely, and after receiving the second shot, he let out a high-pitched scream! After both shots were done, the nurse said with a smile, "Every baby cries a lot when theye for vinations. You should press down on the wound." Lin Yi''s mother, holding the baby in her arms, watched as therge needle pierced her baby''s tender skin and felt incredibly heartbroken! Her baby''s cries made her even more anxious. Although she had anticipated this and even prepared herself mentally, she still couldn''t help feeling upset at that moment. Even a long while after the shots were finished, Da Bao''s cries were still loud, with his face and neck turning red¡ªarge area. It seemed the little one''s temper was much worse than they had expected. Although other people''s babies also cried when getting shots, it wasn''t this intense, was it?! Next, it was the turn of the younger brother and sister to get vinated, and they both cried for a long time, just not as loudly as their brother. Especially little sister Mengmeng, who whimpered a bit and shed a few tears before stopping. To everyone''s surprise, Da Bao kept crying for a very long time afterward, who would have thought that apart from having a bad temper, he was also such a crybaby! By the time all three babies were vinated, it was already 12:32 PM. The family returned to the car, and Lin Yi asked Han Xuewei sitting beside him, "Wife, can you check on your phone if we can schedule a check-up for the babies after 2 PM today?" Han Xuewei immediately responded, "Mhm, I''ll look it up right now." No sooner had she finished speaking than she took out her phone and started checking the infant health check-up section on a mobile app, only to find that the afternoon slots were already fully booked, not a single opening was left! "There are no more slots avable today. Should we schedule one for tomorrow morning? Although the slots we can get are a bitte, only after ten o''clock. What should we do now?" Lin Yi thought for a moment and then said directly, "Just make the appointment! The check-up should be done as soon as possible. It''s okay if it''s a bitte." Han Xuewei operated on her phone and got the babies registered. "Then let''s all take the babies to the maternal and child health hospital again tomorrow. Don''t forget to bring the check-up booklets," Han Xuewei instructed. Lin Yi smiled and replied, "Mhm, alright." However, the next second, an important question popped into his head, and he quickly asked, "Vivi, you should also have a postpartum check-up after your confinement period, right?" Mother Lin jumped in to exin, "There''s no need to do it so early. The postpartum check-up should be done 42 dayster, and that''s when you''ll also have to take a bath." Mother Lin had experienced these things at least once, so she knew a bit more. Chapter 61: 61 Postnatal Check-up Han Xuewei''s mother hurriedly added after hearing this, "Should we make some more soup to nourish her properly? I remember the Maternity Matron also advised that chicken and fish soups are the best." Han Xuewei shook her head and said, "Mom, I''m fine. I''m already out of confinement, and my body has almost recovered. I can go to the hospital for a check-up after forty-two days." Lin Yi, hearing his wife say this, naturally wasn''t worried. The two mothers looked at each other and finally nodded, saying, "Then we''ll just wait for the time toe!" The group finally made it home, where the three little ones seemed to still feel pain in their arms from the vinations, or perhaps they were scared during the shots as they asionally cried, which made Han Xuewei very worried. Han Xuewei''s mother reassured her, "Don''t worry, it''s very normal for a one-month-old baby to be like this after getting vinated. Just hold them more, and they will be better by tomorrow. It''s okay." Lin Yi''s mother added, "Yes, our Mengmeng has been very good, barely crying after her vination. Today, it was Da Bao who cried the most. Hold him more; he might even wake up crying in the middle of the night. You have tofort him properly to make the baby feel safe." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei took it more seriously and hurriedly nodded. She was very worried about the baby. It seemed he was indeed frightened today, and she couldn''t help feeling a pang of heartache. Moreover, today she was supposed to breastfeed her younger brother, and Han Xuewei had specifically fed her older brother tofort him. After dinner in the evening, Han Xuewei began to settle the babies, and by the time the three children fell asleep, it was already nine at night. She finally had time for herself and returned to her room. As soon as she pushed the door open, she found Lin Yi already lying in bed. It seemed he was waiting for her! Han Xuewei immediately sensed Lin Yi''s intentions, no wonder he seemed a bit unusual tonight. Without thinking too much, she gently closed the door andy down on the bed. When Lin Yi saw his wife enter and push the door, he quickly closed his eyes, entering a state of resting with his eyes closed. As Han Xuewei got into bed andy beside him, Lin Yi''s heart skipped a beat. He then took a deep breath. He calmed himself down, his mind going nk. A few secondster, he suddenly turned over and directly pinned Han Xuewei under him! "Vivi, I..." At that moment, Han Xuewei finally understood why Lin Yi had asked her on the way home when she would have her postnatal checkup! It seemed he really couldn''t control himself! Why so eager? But when she thought about it, it did seem reasonable. It was much better than those men who cheated during their wives'' pregnancies. Lin Yi indeed took care of her by her side, always letting her spend her pregnancy with peace of mind. For a long time, nothing had happened. It must be said that Lin Yi had indeed controlled his desires well, which wasn''t easy when she thought about it. But now she had just finished her confinement, and her body was still somewhat ufortable. Wouldn''t it be somewhat inappropriate for that kind of thing? Han Xuewei tried to struggle out of Lin Yi''s embrace, but Lin Yi held himself firmly on top of her, leaving no room for movement. After several unsessful attempts, she could only suppress her embarrassment and whispered softly, "Why... are you suddenly acting like this..." Lin Yi lowered his head, his eyes staring intently at his charming and slightly shy wife beneath him. He leaned close to Han Xuewei''s ear and murmured, "Acting like what? Surely you know what I want to do, right?" Han Xuewei cleared her throat; faced with Lin Yi''s teasing, she also found it hard to resist, especially when she heard Lin Yi''s maic voice, which left her utterly defenseless! It seemed Lin Yi knew his wife liked this kind of y, so he moved even closer and kept breathing heavily. Han Xuewei had never been teased like this before and suddenly felt her entire body soften considerably. She whispered softly, "But¡­ we can''t yet¡­ We have to wait for the check-up after 42 days¡­ Just hold on a bit longer¡­" But unexpectedly, Lin Yi didn''t seem to want to stop and simply smiled faintly, whispering into Han Xuewei''s ear, "Silly girl¡­" These two were already husband and wife and had even shared the intimacy of skin; they even had a baby together. But the only contact between the two of them was that night, and since then, they had not had a deep conversation. Even that special night had been initiated by Han Xuewei, making their rtionship very delicate. Even though, at this moment, Han Xuewei wished to be closer to Lin Yi, her body clearly hinted that it wasn''t possible yet. Seeing Lin Yi like this now left Han Xuewei at a bit of a loss. No matter how she felt, her body wouldn''t cooperate! Lin Yi gently kissed her cheek,ughed right next to her ear, and at that moment, Han Xuewei''s cheeks turned crimson, her face heated, and her body softened even more. Lin Yi just smiled and then said, "Silly girl, I won''t do anything until your body has recovered. Besides, matters between a man and a woman should certainly be consensual. How dare I be reckless now? Silly girl, stop overthinking." After hearing this, Han Xuewei finally let down her guard; thankfully, Lin Yi thought this way. Otherwise, if he had been forceful, she might have truly sumbed. With a weight lifted from her heart, Han Xuewei finally closed her eyes in relief. Seeing her like this, Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Why are you so scared? I was just teasing you." After saying that, Lin Yi rolled on his side andy t, with one hand under his head and the other arm wrapped around Han Xuewei. After a while, Lin Yi spoke slowly, "Speaking of the night we spent together, do you remember it? It seems I''vepletely forgotten." After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s heart began to race even faster as she remembered that beautiful night. Her face turned a deep shade of red, and she clenched the corner of the nket tightly, uncertain of what to do. Of course, she remembered that intimate night very clearly! It was etched in her memory! Back then, Lin Yi seemed to be venting a kind of indescribable rage, and that night, Han Xuewei was also drenched in sweat. Until the next morning, she felt so weak in the legs that she had some difficulty walking. She even hurriedly fled the hotel, and once she reached the street, people would stare at her with strange looks. She had no choice but to go to Qin Xiaoxu''s ce, where she rested for two or three days before returning to her dormitory. Otherwise, with the condition she was in, if she had returned to school, the gossip would have spread across the entire campus! Chapter 62: 62: In-depth Communication At this moment, Han Xuewei didn''t know how to respond to all of Lin Yi''s questions. Now, the couple was lying on the same bed, speaking words that made cheeks flush and ears burn. Could it be that he really wasn''t afraid of a fire starting? Although the two of them hadn''t formally dated or experienced a passionate love affair, Han Xuewei felt she knew very little about boys. However, she often heard her close friend Qin Xiaoxu talk about some matters between men and women, and sometimes Han Xuewei would blush listening to her on the side. Seeing Vivi lying beside him not willing to speak for a long time, Lin Yi slowly turned to his side andforted her, "There''s nothing to be nervous about. I''m actually just reminiscing about that day..." The recollection process? Of course, it was to reminisce about my manly pride! However, Lin Yi only thought thest sentence to himself. His wife was truly too shy and extremely bashful; some things shouldn''t be said too explicitly. Lin Yi even clearly remembered that when he woke up that day, he saw a smudge of blood on the bed sheet. He immediately realized that the school beauty had shared a beautiful night exclusively with him, Lin Yi. This was something that made him feel fortunate and also gave him a great surprise! As Lin Yi was thinking about this, he hugged Han Xuewei''s hand even tighter. "It''s okay, we are husband and wife after all. We have so much more to understand about each other, to enter into each other''s hearts. You don''t have to be shy; I will respect your..." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he fell silent. Han Xuewei also understood very clearly that a husband and wife shouldmunicate more, even more in-depthmunication. Without more profoundmunication, even the most harmonious couple would gradually grow cold. Han Xuewei truly loved Lin Yi from the bottom of her heart. Of course, she didn''t want their rtionship to be perfunctory and cold, but rather like that of a normal couple, hopefully growing more and more loving. As long as Lin Yi had simr requests like tonight in the future, she would definitely agree. Otherwise, her husband would grow distant from her, unwilling tomunicate, and such a development trend would not be beneficial for their rtionship at all. At this time, Han Xuewei took the initiative to hug Lin Yi, and said with some shyness, "I... I''m not ready yet, and my body hasn''t recovered these past few days..." Thetter indulgently soothed her in return, softly saying, "Don''t take it seriously. Just now, your husband was just teasing you. And I will wait quietly until you are willing, is that okay?" Han Xuewei hugged Lin Yi''s hand tighter and whispered her agreement. After a moment, the young couple fell asleep in this position. The next day at dawn, the couple awoke at the same time, but today Han Xuewei seemed a bit tired. She hadn''t rested well the night before because the baby had been quite scared while getting vinated, which led to a lot of fuss. Especially their eldest son, who would even wake up crying from sleep as if he had a nightmare. This was Han Xuewei''s first time as a mother, so her excessive concern was understandable. Last night, she was even woken up by the baby''s crying and got up to soothe the child. Compared to their eldest son, the younger brother and sister were a bit better, at least they didn''t wake up crying in the night, and if there was any difort, both sets of parents and Aunt Wang could take care of them. An old saying goes well, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure! At this time, Han Xuewei finally understood the meaning of this saying, realizing that the four elders of her family indeed shared a lot of their burdens and offered much help! Sometimes arge family is just like this, both good and bad are bidirectional, as long as you consider others, they will consider you too! Some people, after getting a daughter-inw, always want to put her in her ce right away or elevate their own status. But life should not be like this; deliberate actions by some can only make things moreplicated, and if not careful, resentment may grow. Some outrageous behaviors might even be the talk of the town, turning into a joke among the neighbors. There are even those who go too far, only wanting their daughter-inw to produce grandsons, not granddaughters. The mindset of favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted; if a granddaughter is born, they don''t show up or help at all during the daughter-inw''s confinement. Perhaps these people have never considered that one day when they get old and need care themselves, whether they might be met with indifferent responses from others? Therefore, there''s an old saying that goes, "You can''t hold grudges during confinement, or they will be remembered for a lifetime!" After all, a daughter-inw is at her most vulnerable during confinement, and if you upset her, she may never forget your ill treatment. Many things in life are reciprocal; as long as you treat others with kindness, they will respond in kind. This applies to strangers and even more so among family members. Lin Yi''s parents were also reasonable people; all they hoped for now was that Han Xuewei would take good care of her health every day. They even feared that sometimes they might be too busy or not attentive enough, which is why they had Lin Yi invite his inws toe and live with them. Han Xuewei was really tired today, feeling utterly drained, so she could not apany the baby to the hospital check-up. She only asked Lin Yi to take several videos during the babies'' check-ups, as she wanted to watch them at home. After everyone finished their tasks, they set off with the three babies. Today it was Lin Yi and his father driving, and therge family set off towards the maternal and child health hospital once again. On the way there, Lin Yi even thought that he must hurry to change the car; getting a motorhome sooner would be better, as traveling would only be less convenient otherwise. He had also thought about itst night; a motorhome would be much more baby-friendly. For example, heating a bottle of milk on the road or changing a diaper temporarily would be quite convenient. They arrived at the maternal and child health hospital just on time, as per their appointment. There were still quite a few people in the queue ahead of them, with babies crying in chorus. These babies all looked very young, the oldest being only around one year old, and there were also those like their three family babies who had been brought in for a check-up at one month old. Overall, the scene was somewhat chaotic. Lin Yi managed to find some open space for the family after some effort, and the names of their three babies appeared on the disy screen. It seemed their turn woulde before long. And with the three little babies, only one number was disyed, which seemed quite convenient. As long as they handed over this number, all three babies could be examined together. After waiting outside for about ten minutes, their number began shing on the disy, almost exactly on schedule with their appointment. The entire family marched grandly into the examination room, where the doctor couldn''t help but frown at the sight. But after checking the number and seeing three names behind it, he quickly realized. Chapter 63: 63: Heaven and Earth are vast, but the wife is the greatest "So it''s triplets! Ever since you all leftst time, my colleagues have been talking about these three babies." The doctor greeted everyone warmly. Lin Yi was also very polite to the doctor, "The babies have just turned one month old, and we''ve brought them for aprehensive check-up." Lin Yi''s mother hurriedly brought over her eldest grandson and handed his health check book to the doctor, then said with a smile, "This one in my arms is Lin Zhiyan, he''s the older brother." The doctor picked up the stethoscope with a smile, "Well then, let''s follow this order, with the big brother setting a good example." "You might not know, but there are still quite a few people in the hospital talking about these three little babies. Many of my colleagues are so envious! They say they can''t even have twins, let alone triplets, Your family really has great fortune! Moreover, the children are very healthy, meeting all standards, and didn''t even need an incubator after birth, which is already considered a miracle!" Lin Yi''s mother of course was all smiles upon hearing the doctor''s words, as everyone loves gettingpliments! And it''s all thanks to the daughter-inw''s efforts! Truthfully, their daughter-inw suffered a lot for these three babies. Without Han Xuewei''s hard work, the Lin Family wouldn''t have such great luck! It seems I need to remind Lin Yi to always treat his wife well, no matter what. The world is big, but the wife is the greatest! Lin Yi probably didn''t expect that he would be receiving advice from his elders again. Lin Yi''s mother hurriedly said to the doctor, "We also owe a lot to the babies'' mother! Women are naturally tender, but fierce when they be mothers. My daughter-inw is really great, she''s the biggest hero and has worked the hardest." The doctor agreed wholeheartedly and slowly said, "As a doctor, I''m naturally aware of the difficulties of having triplets. It''s no small feat that each baby is at a healthy weight. You must pay close attention to the mother''s health. She needs proper postpartum recovery." The doctor''s words struck Lin Yi like a revtion. How had he not thought about getting Han Xuewei postpartum recovery services! He had been concerned about his children from the start, and at most had shown concern for his wife''s confinement, but hadpletely overlooked the need for postpartum recovery! Lin Yi quickly assured, "Thank you for the reminder, I will take my wife for recovery services." Lin Yi, not wanting to forget this matter, had already triggered his photographic memory and had firmly decided to take Han Xuewei for postpartum recovery no matter what. "By the way, doctor, I wanted to ask which ce is better for postpartum recovery?" The doctor, while examining the baby, said to Lin Yi, "Our maternal and child health hospital can do it as well. Just go to the postpartum department when you register. However, you should consult beforehand since not every aspect requires recovery. It varies from person to person!" "Mm-hmm, I''ve got it," Lin Yi replied. The three little ones quickly finished their checkups, which were all pretty routine. The doctor slowly spoke while entering data into theputer, "I''ve taken a brief look, and everything like the babies'' weight and heart rhythms are very normal. Next, we''ll do aplete blood count ¡ª that''s important. Then we''ll move on to a bone density test. There are quite a few simr tests to go through. Once I''ve written up the orders, you can go and pay. It looks like your family will be busy this morning. Haha." "Oh, and after all the tests are done,e back with the report, and I''ll take a look at the results. If everything''s alright, you can go home." Lin Yi quickly agreed, "Got it, I''ll go pay right now." Lin Yi''s mother and Aunt Wang were each looking after a brother, who had already started crying during the earlier heart check by the doctor ¡ª it''s hard to tell if the little ones were scared. Fortunately, the sister Mengmeng was doing a bit better; she mainly just squirmed around without any other reactions. Having received the written orders, Lin Yi went to the front desk to pay the fees all in one go, and then took the babies to have theplete blood count done. Although the blood sample was collected quickly, the report would take about half an hour to be ready. All three little ones were crying fiercely during the blood test as their small hands got pricked and the nurses held them tightly to make the blood flow more easily. This was something the babies had never experienced before, turning them all into weeping messes. But there was no other way; with the advancement of technology, theprehensive physical examinations for babies had be more thorough. It''s only through suchplete checkups that any issues can be detected earlier and treated sooner. While waiting for the blood test results, everyone took the babies to undergo other examinations. Luckily, there were not many people in line, so they got through the tests quite quickly. About half an hourter, they had all the test results in hand and went back to the doctor''s office. The doctor examined the results for the three babies very carefully, then addressed everyone, "Please have a seat and wait; I need to go through these one by one, which might take some time." Lin Yi gestured for his family to sit down. While he was worried about the babies, he was also thinking that they had been fed milk, given water, and had their diapers changed before leaving home, so there were no dys during the checkups. After being there for a total of an hour, it looked like they were just about finished with the physical examination. Afterparing the data to the benchmarks, the doctor concluded, "The babies are healthy, but there is one minor issue ¡ª their bone density is not quite up to standard. However, please don''t worry as it''s quitemon in infants and toddlers. Just supplement calcium and vitamin D promptly, and they should improve soon." Lin Yi''s mother quickly asked, "So what medication should the babies take? Can you prescribe it directly?" "Our hospital can prescribe vitamin D for the babies, but for calcium, you can buy the supplements at a pharmacy near your home. Of course, the liquid form is best, as it can be added directly to the milk the babies drink." Lin Yi nodded, "We''ll get the vitamin D here at the hospital, and I''ll check out the calcium when I get back home." "Actually, they don''t need too much ¡ª 0.5 grams daily per baby is enough. One box per baby should suffice. One box is just one course of treatment. Oh, and once you get the calcium tablets or liquid calcium, remember to also give some to the babies'' mother, because their deficiency is fundamentally due to a deficiency in the mother." After hearing this, Lin Yi quickly said, "Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you, doctor. Please prescribe an extra couple of boxes of vitamin D for my wife to supplement as well!" Chapter 64: 64: The Reward for the Physical Examination Lin Yi, holding the prescription, took the whole family to get the medicine, aiming to do so before the maternal and child health clinic closed for the day. By the time they retrieved the medicine, a familiar system notification sound rang out in Lin Yi''s mind. "Ding, congrattions, Host. You''ve earned a reward for taking the babies for a health checkup, one million yuan for each baby." Lin Yi was no longer greatly surprised by the system''s rewards; everything was as expected. Besides, he now had at least tens of millions in savings¡ªthere was no need to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life! After collecting the medicines, they returned home. When they arrived, it was already twelve in the afternoon. Han Xuewei''s mother and Lin Yi''s mother were both readying lunch. Today, Han Xuewei''s mother took the initiative to cook. After preparing several dishes, she said with a smile to everyone, "My cooking skills aren''t the best; I just stir-fried a few dishes. The meals are ready for everyone, but it seems there was no time to make Vivi''s." After consoling the babies, Lin Yi went to the kitchen: "Mom, let me cook for Vivi! You go ahead and eat. I''m not very hungry right now. I can just have the nutritional meal I make for Viviter." Even when they had a maternity matron, Han Xuewei''s daily meals were prepared by Lin Yi, as his culinary skills were certainly much better than the maternity matrons''. But since the maternity matron''s departure, it had been a bit too much for him, and sometimes the responsibility of cooking had fallen on Aunt Wang. Lin Yi also realized it had been days since hest made a nutritional meal for his wife. Today was a good day to cook. Although his wife had alreadye out of her confinement period, most people''s lives would return to normal after it was over. Lin Yi, however, continued to carefully prepare nutritional meals for her, as she needed more time to recover from the birth of triplets. He prepared a veryvish meal for his wife. By the time he finished, everyone had just finished eating, and Lin Yi served himself and Han Xuewei a bowl each, then took them upstairs together. Gently pushing open the bedroom door, he found Han Xuewei still sound asleep. Lin Yi couldn''t bear to wake her up, especially since she really hadn''t rested wellst night, and the little ones had another health checkup during the day¡ªthey might fuss again tonight! To ensure Han Xuewei got enough sleep, Lin Yi decided not to wake her for the time being. Unexpectedly, just as he put down the food on the table, she woke up on her own. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice hoarse, and asked bewilderedly, "Honey, did you finish the baby''s checkup so soon?" "Yes, wife. How did you sleep today?" Lin Yi was about toe forward to help her when suddenly, the sound of crying came from the nursery. Han Xuewei''s mother and Aunt Wang were right there in the room. Han Xuewei hurried out of bed and ran with Lin Yi towards the nursery. "Mom, did the babies get a scare today?" Han Xuewei asked with concern. "Nothing to worry about, they are probably hungry by now. We left early today and they haven''t had their milk since. It''s noon now; they must be starving." "Yeah, we''ve been out with the babies non-stop, and even we adults are this hungry, let alone the kids," Lin Yi said. Even if the babies had been fed before leaving the house, that was a long time ago, so they must be crying now because of hunger. Han Xuewei quickly picked up Da Bao, who was crying the loudest, and said, "Today, I''ll breastfeed my brother. Lin Yi, you prepare the form milk for the younger brother and sister." Lin Yi was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, because mixing form was something others had done before; she had only breastfed the babies and had never made form milk. Now that it was her turn, she didn''t quite know how to proceed. "Um... I''ll give it a try," Lin Yi replied without giving it much thought and agreed at once. ``` No, we can learn again. Han Xuewei carried her eldest son back to the bedroom while Lin Yi turned to ask his mother-inw and Aunt Wang, "I''ve never made form before, how do I do it?" Aunt Wang quickly exined, "Here, you hold little Mengmeng, and I''ll handle the form. You just watch from the side, you''ll learn after seeing it once." However, Lin Yi stated inly, "It''s fine, Aunt Wang, leave making the form to me. You can guide me from the side, that way I''ll learn faster." At that moment, Lin Yi was also calcting in his mind, he had never prepared form for the baby before, and if he were to do it himself today, he would definitely get a reward from the system. Furthermore, it wasn''t a difficult task, and once he had learned, he would have to make more form for the baby in the future. "The water in the baby''s special warmer kettle is always kept at a constant temperature. Water at 45 degrees can be used directly to make the form. For every scoop of form, add 40 milliliters of water. The little brother and sister don''t eat much each day, 120 milliliters ispletely enough. But since the baby is very hungry today, make 160 milliliters!" Lin Yi listened very carefully and started to do as Aunt Wang had instructed, even cing the bottle on the table and reading the measurements to get exactly 160 milliliters. Seeing the water was about right, Lin Yi added four scoops of form. Han Xuewei''s mother, seeing Lin Yi''s serious demeanor, was also very satisfied. Such a good son-inw, you couldn''t find one even if you searched with antern! She liked the look of him more and more. After Lin Yi finished adding the form, he screwed on the bottle cap and picked up the bottle to start shaking it. But after just one shake, both Han Xuewei''s mother and Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped him, "No, that''s not the right way to shake it." Lin Yi was also taken aback by the two of them speaking up at the same time, saying, "Don''t worry, I won''t let it get foamy inside, I''ve done my homework and won''t make a mistake." Lin Yi first stirred it a couple of times and then slowly began to shake it. Only after being sure that both bottles of form were ready did he smile and say to them, "All good now! Though I''ve never made form myself before, I''ve read quite a few informative books on it!" Lin Yi''s actions also satisfied them both, clearly nothing had gone wrong. Han Xuewei''s mother came forward to take the bottle, finally at ease, "Yes, it''s ready to be eaten." After all the hustle and bustle from the three of them, the two little ones finished the 160 milliliters of milk in no time. The little brother and sister had better routines than their older brother; they fell asleep soon after their feed. Just as Lin Yi was putting away the bottles, the prompt in his mind rang out on time. "Ding, congrattions to the host for sessfully making form for the babies, reward: two hundred thousand!" After hearing this, Lin Yi also revealed a hint of a smile on his face, this was all part of being a dad! After washing the babies'' bottles, he ced them in the sterilizer cab and finally had some free time, so he went back to the bedroom. ``` Chapter 65: 65: Let Me Feed You At this moment, Han Xuewei was still facing away from the door, breastfeeding Da Bao. Lin Yi walked over to the table, nced at the meals prepared over the past few days, and asked softly, "Vivi, you must be quite hungry by now? I''ll feed you, or else the food will get cold." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei was slightly taken aback. Didn''t Lin Yi realize she was breastfeeding the baby? If he came over to feed her, her chest would be seen! Han Xuewei immediately said, "No, I''m not that hungry." After speaking, her gaze drifted to the two full bowls of rice, and she asked, "Did you bring up all the meals? Didn''t you skip lunch too? Why did you serve two bowls?" Han Xuewei figured out that Lin Yi must havee up to apany her for the meal. Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn''t have lunch either, and now I''m very hungry. Besides, you need to breastfeed Da Bao, which uses more energy, so you must be hungrier than I am. I''ll feed you lunch now; being hungry for too long isn''t good for you." As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, without waiting for a response and not caring what Han Xuewei had just said, he picked up her bowl and began feeding her with a spoon. Though he didn''t look directly, a nce caught a full view of Han Xuewei''s chest. His heartbeat couldn''t help but speed up, but he still looked quite calm, steadily feeding her. If he showed any other expression right now, Han Xuewei would surely feel embarrassed. Lin Yi urged with seriousness, "Quick, take a bite. If you get too hungry, you will lose your appetite." Han Xuewei''s face turned red instantly, and her head shook like a bobblehead. This is going to be tricky!How will he deal with the fact that his wife gets so easily shy, like a maiden experiencing her first bloom...? However, under Lin Yi''s insistence, she took a few sips of soup in small gulps; before long, half the soup in the bowl had gone. But at that moment, Han Xuewei''splexion suddenly changed. Lin Yi noticed this and asked anxiously, "Wife, what''s wrong?" With an embarrassed face, Han Xuewei exined, "Could you find a nursing pad over there? I feel like... it might be... leaking a bit." Lin Yi quickly put down the bowl and stood up to search for the nursing pad that Han Xuewei mentioned. "You can just tear it open for me and leave it beside me; I can put it in myself." Lin Yi thought to himself, "How could a husband help with that!" His hands moved fast; after unwrapping the nursing pad, he ced it in Han Xuewei''s hands. She took it, holding Da Bao with one hand while trying to stuff the pad in ce with the other. Lin Yi said softly, "You eat lunch first. Didn''t we agree yesterday to pick out an RV today?" Lin Yi replied. "It''s okay; these things are trivial. It won''t matter if it''s dyed for a day or two. Right now, I''m just worried about you being hungry. You can''t go hungry during the postpartum period; it could harm your stomach." Han Xuewei then said, "I''ll be done breastfeeding soon, and I''ve already had some soup, so I''m not that hungry right now. You eat your lunch first." Seeing Han Xuewei''s persistence, Lin Yi didn''t say much and started eating his lunch quietly on the side. And judging by Han Xuewei''s movements at the time, she must have just finished breastfeeding and was getting ready to take the baby back to the nursery. But all of a sudden, the system''s voice rang out once again. This time, there was no warning at all. "Ding, congrattions to the host, you''ve sessfully triggered a hidden task by feeding your wife while she was breastfeeding, and have earned a reward: the (True Love Baby) series diamond, valued at 888 million." And at the same time, a card seemingly appeared out of nowhere beside Lin Yi. He picked it up and examined it for a while, realizing it was inscribed with the "True Love" brand, and the golden card was dazzling with the gleaming VIP in big letters! This was a gold card! And it was made of pure gold! Lin Yi was stunned by the card and quickly inquired, "My goodness, could this be a wedding gift from the system?" "This is not a gift, it''s simply the reward the host has obtained." After hearing the system''s response, Lin Yi said no more as his gaze was deeply attracted to the pure gold VIP card, which was exquisitely made, not to mention, quite heavy. Holding it in his hand, he weighed it for a moment, almost as heavy as his car keys! But this was merely a VIP membership card after all, it really cost a pretty penny! However, thinking it over, it made sense; after all, having spent nine hundred million, if thepany didn''t spend tens of thousands to make a VIP card that could stand to be seen, wouldn''t it be too stingy?! Lin Yi did some quick calctions on his fingers and estimated that just during his wife''s postpartum confinement period, the rewards he had received were already around thirty million. And if you added the rewards from before the wife gave birth, it would be at least forty million by now, right? His calctions ounted just for cash and did not consider the shares he''d received, since he had no intention of selling his shares in the near future. Firstly, the mother and baby industry was trending well, the whole sector was on the rise, and he owned as much as ten percent of the shares. Every year he would receive an end-of-year bonus from thepany. With this in mind, just the dividends alone should bring in a hefty sum, possibly even seventy or eighty million ¨C no problem! There were probably not many industries that could boast such good returns nowadays! Lin Yi wondered when the end-of-year bonus would be deposited in his ount, and nned to ask the systemter to confirm the timing. At this moment, Han Xuewei had already taken the baby into the nursery, and Lin Yi, while thinking about the good news, continued eating his meal. When Han Xuewei came in and saw Lin Yi with a smile on his face, she couldn''t help but smile and ask, "What are you thinking about? You''reughing sneakily! Did something good happen?" Lin Yi quickly replied, "I have a gift for you!" No sooner had he spoken than he pulled the "True Love" VIP card from his pocket. It had to be said, this pure gold card already qualified as a super VIP. He handed the card to Han Xuewei and said with a smile, "Let''s find a time to give it a try! See if there''s a style that suits us. We''ll need it for the wedding. What others have, we should notck ¨C and we should have even better! It''s time to discuss wedding arrangements. I promise to give you a grand wedding that will make you the most cherished bride in the world!" Looking at the card, Han Xuewei didn''t know it was made of pure gold, but when she heard they were going to n the wedding, she quickly agreed, "Okay, I want my mom toe with me. Let''s go pick it out when she''s free this Sunday!" Han Xuewei knew her mother would definitely be selecting a dowry for her, so she wanted to bring her mother along to check it out. Lin Yi said with a smile, "Then it''s settled." The couple continued to chat and began to have their lunch together. Chapter 66: 66: Company Dividends Han Xuewei, upon seeing the baby''s used diaper, immediately remembered that some items were running low and hastily said, "Honey, we''re almost out of medium-sized diapers and there''s only one box of form left. Let''s find some time to buy more." Lin Yi nodded and replied, "Let''s buy them today, though it might be a bitte. This afternoon, I''m taking the dads to pick out an RV, since the need to take the baby out is bing more urgent." "Well, it''s not that urgent, it doesn''t have to be today. We can just take some time in the next couple of days to stock up," Han Xuewei said. Lin Yi was relieved to hear this. Thankfully, he had kept the contact information of that sales clerk fromst time, so he could just ask her to deliver what they needed again. Lin Yi nodded, "Yeah, once the RV is ready, traveling anywhere with the whole family will be much more convenient!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei smiled and picked up a piece of meat from her bowl and gave it to Lin Yi. Lin Yi saw his wife putting food on his te and hurriedly stretched out his mouth, biting down on her chopsticks. After eating, he even blew a kiss. If it weren''t for the grease on his mouth, he would have been all over her by now, wouldn''t he?! His wife''s move made Han Xueweiugh as well, and Lin Yi also picked up a piece of lean meat from his bowl and fed it to his wife. Han Xuewei felt a bit shy, but she still ate the piece of meat. For a while, the two of them found joy in feeding each other, turning a meal that could''ve been finished in ten minutes into a half-hour affair. After finishing the meal, Lin Yi started to go downstairs to wash the dishes, but just then, his phone received a text message. Since he was busy with the dishes, he didn''t have time to check the message, but Aunt Wang came over to help, so he wiped his hands and took out his phone. As soon as he saw the message, Lin Yi couldn''t help but get a huge shock. His heart started racing faster and faster, feeling like it was about to jump out of his chest! Lin Yi stared in disbelief at the text message, his eyes almost popping out of his head! The message was from the bank, concerning a deposit that had been made. It clearly indicated that the payer was the "Fuwawa Baby Products Company"! Looking at the string of digits, Lin Yi began to count. "One, ten, hundred... hundred thousand, million!" A total of ny-seven million had been credited! Good heavens! To have that much money?!? Lin Yi''s eyes widened in disbelief. If he remembered correctly, the dividends from thispany were distributed quarterly, and shareholders could receive a payout every six months. This was just half of it! There was almost an equal amount of dividends toe in the second half of the year! With only ten percent of the shares in his hands, he hadn''t expected to receive such a considerable dividend. The profits of the baby product industry were unimaginable! Moreover, now that the two-child policy ispletely rxed, and people''s living conditions have improved a lotpared to before, who wouldn''t want to buy good things for their baby? Whether it''s the daily milk powder orplementary foods, you have to choose the healthy ones that are suitable for the baby''s physical development. Not to mention the things they use, from the baby''s toys to water bottles and utensils, even the diaper needs to be of better quality! There is no doubt about that! After all, times are progressing! Free-range parenting is sost century, nowadays, every family''s baby is precious, aren''t they all spoiled by two generations? As a result, the maternal and child industry is bing more and more profitable, so there are noticeably more maternity and baby stores on the streets. Lin Yi looked at the text messages on his phone and couldn''t help but giggle, at a loss for a moment. Just then, Lin Yi''s dad came out to pour tea and, seeing his son standing at the kitchen doorughing like that, he casually asked, "What''s got you so happy? It''s the first time I''ve seen youugh like this." Lin Yi hurriedly showed his dad the text message, excitedly saying, "Dad, look how many zeros there are! Just receiving this much in dividends for ten percent of the shares for this quarter, and the second half of the year is definitely only going to bring more! I never thought it would be so much!" Lin Yi''s dad took the phone, counted the zeros, and was also somewhat astonished. "Based on this, the dividends you''ll get in two years could catch up to the market value of mypany! Just the other day your mom was nagging at my side, saying you made an investment and now you have made money, and in the future, we won''t have to worry about you. I didn''t take it seriously, thinking she was exaggerating. But I never expected, your quarterly dividend would be so substantial!" "Indeed my son! Each generation gets stronger than thest, well done, well done!" Lin Yi''s dad patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly. He had never thought that one day his son would achieve such great sess. He had full confidence in his son''s abilities. He was equallyforted, it seemed he could finally rest easy leaving thepany in his hands to manage. The scale of his ownpany was not veryrge, during its most brilliant time, the market value nearly broke one billion, but these past two years the industry has been sluggish, and thepany experienced losses, with market value halved, leading to rumors in the industry that the Lin Family''s business might be on the verge of bankruptcy. But looking now, it seems the blue is outshining the indigo. His era had passed, but his son was still very promising! The future belongs to the young, and he feels pride in having such a son! What he hopes for now is that his son can take thepany he founded and grow it further, for the son to continue the father''s legacy, and create an even better future! At this time, Lin Yi quickly said, "Dad, Mom mentioned that the relocation has been quite costly these days. I''ll transfer a sum over right now for you to use, and if it''s not enough, just let me know." Lin Yi''s dad quickly shook his head after hearing this, "No, no, no, keep the money you''ve earned for yourself, you will have many more expenses in the future, your dad can get by for now." Although Lin Yi''s dad said this, they had only prepared five million for their son''s marriage. If thepany''s development continued as before, the wedding gift could possibly have reached hundreds of millions. Lin Yi''s dad may not yet know that his son has given his daughter-inw a vi. If he knew that his son could afford a 900-square-meter vi in the city center, he would certainly be shocked! They, as a couple, had once nned to buy a five-bedroom, two-living-room house for their son as a wedding home, but ns don''t always keep up with changes. They did not expect their son to marry so early, nor did they foresee thepany''s development slump in these two years. If Lin Yi hadn''t made it clear that he had bought a vi already for the wedding home, they probably would have had to borrow money even for the down payment on the son''s house! But after hearing his dad''s words, Lin Yi just smiled lightly and continued, "Dad, you don''t have to be polite with me, this is just a token of my feelings, and you can rest assured with the money. Plus, you know my financial situation, I have more than enough to spare right now. " Chapter 67: 67 Repurchase As the father and son were still talking, Lin Yi''s mother came over. "What''s the matter? I heard you two arguing from the second floor. Don''t wake the babies; their sleep is so light," Lin Yi''s mother said as she came down. Lin Yi said, "Mom, I wanted to transfer some money to Dad, but he just won''t ept it." When Lin Yi''s mother heard this, she quickly asked in response, "Oh, making big money again, son?" It was the first time she had ever seen the father and son disagree about money. And it was about the son wanting to give his father money, and the father refusing to take it. After hearing about it, Lin Yi''s mother also smiled, but deep down she was veryforted. Her son had finally grown up, not only making big money but also understanding the importance of filial piety. Lin Yi quickly showed his mother the text message on his phone, hastily exining, "Mom, this is the quarterly bonus from thepany, paid out twice a year, and this time it''s ny-five million! I wanted to give Dad ten million to use for emergencies. That''s reasonable, right?" "Besides, all three babies are so young, they don''t need much money right now, so is it okay to transfer some to Dad?" When Lin Yi''s mother saw the huge amount in the text message, she too was very surprised and eximed, "So much money? Son, is yourpany really doing that well? To have such arge quarterly bonus! Listen, Mr. Lin, our son is capable now and he wants to express his filial piety, so just ept the money. What''s there to refuse?" It was only when Lin Yi''s mother heard this that she realized her son had received hispany''s quarterly bonus and was giving his father a sum of money; of course she was happy as a mother. The next second, Lin Yi continued, "Mom, let me also send you some money. You''ve been working hard these days. You must ept this ten million." Without a second word, Lin Yi immediately transferred another sum to his mother. Since WeChat transfers couldn''t handle such arge amount as ten million in one go, it had to be split into several transactions. Lin Yi made sure his parents clicked through each transfer, confirming that they received the money before he rxed. With ten million each for both parents, that should be enough. Next, Lin Yi sent a WeChat message to his wife, saying he didn''t have her parents'' bank ount details, and wanted to give the two elders and her some living expenses, so he transferred it all to her in one go and asked Han Xuewei to distribute it to them. However, he didn''t specify how much in the WeChat message. Momentster, Han Xuewei received a transfer notification, the money going straight into her bank ount! It was a full thirty million!!! Han Xuewei was stunned when she saw the amount! She was still in shock even after her phone screen turned off. She quickly sent a text to Lin Yi, "Honey, why did you send so much money all at once?" Lin Yi immediately took a screenshot of the text message he had received and sent it to Han Xuewei, then added, "Wife, thepany just handed out a quarterly bonus, so I wanted to reward you guys a bit." After learning where the money came from, Han Xuewei finally rxed and replied with a happy emoji, "Love you, husband, thank you!" Lin Yi replied with a mischievous emoji, "Need a kiss!" Upon seeing the emoji, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but blush, but she also replied with a very cute "muah" emoji. Lin Yi didn''t let it rest and continued, "I need a real kiss..." Han Xuewei didn''t know how to respond for a while, and after a long time, she finally sent, "Then tonight..." Seeing his wife''s message, Lin Yi immediately felt energized, as if he had boundless energy within him! Ever since his wife was pregnant until she gave birth and now havingpleted her confinement period, Lin Yi was constantly concerned and caring for her, afraid that she would feel insecure. After all, they didn''t have the opportunity to cultivate their feelings before marriage, and now that they were truly in love, he wanted to be the best protector. For so long, Lin Yi had been holding back his expression of love for Han Xuewei, even avoiding quick kisses, for fear of going too far. Anyway, one must always be careful in everything. Remembering the matter of the baby form and diapers, Lin Yi quickly took out his phone and called the number of the female shop assistant who had made the delivery. "Hello, this is Lin Yi, yes, the one who asked you to deliver the other day. I need more of the same form and diapers, but what about this afternoon?" After hearing this, the shop assistant immediately replied, "I''m really sorry, Mr. Lin, the items you need are currently out of stock, but we should be able to restock by tonight. I can deliver them to you before nine o''clock tonight." "That will be perfect. I''m going out this afternoon, so when the goods arrive, just bring them over then! By the way, does your store carry calcium supplements for the baby and the mother? The doctor said our baby needs calcium," Lin Yi added. The shop assistant immediately said, "We have it, and this type of milk calcium has been a best-seller for a long time. It''s imported from Europe and is suitable for both baby and mother." "What''s the price?" The shop assistant replied, "Each bottle is 199 yuan, containing 120 pills. Would you like some?" "Then let''s start with four bottles." "Alright, Mr. Lin, how many boxes of the form would you like delivered today? How many of both the medium andrge size diapers do you need?" the shop assistant asked. Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "The baby''s weight has been increasing quickly thesest few days, and he''s consuming a lot of form, so this time bring three more boxes of form. For the diapers, take three more packs of each size thanst time." Lin Yi knew the shop assistant would probably need to take a taxi to deliver these items, which wouldn''t be especially convenient, otherwise he would have asked for even more! "Hearing you say that, it seems the baby has a great appetite! So, he will grow even faster," the shop assistant said. "I think so too. In a little while, we won''t be able to use the medium size anymore, and all three babies will probably need therge size!" Lin Yi said. Upon hearing this, the shop assistant also became interested, "You have three babies! That''s really fortunate. Are they all boys or girls?" The shop assistant wondered to herself, usually, in wealthy families, they hope to have a son to inherit the family legacy. But having several children wouldn''t matter either, as they could afford it. For such families, raising children was never about money, but whether they were willing or not. Chapter 68: 68 The Bonus for Aunt Wang Lin Yi replied with a smile, "Three babies, two boys, one girl, and the girl is the youngest." Upon hearing this, the female clerk excitedly said again, "Wow! Mr. Lin, you really are blessed! To have triplet babies and both sons and a daughter, anyone who hears this would be envious!" Lin Yi politely responded, "Mmm, thank you. Did you get everything I need written down?" The clerk promptly answered, "Everything is noted down. Is there anything else you require?" Lin Yi caught a glimpse of the bottles in the sterilizer cab and said, "I could use some suitable nipples. Six would be enough." The clerk noted it down on the paper beside her and said while writing, "The better nipples here are thirty yuan each, and they are durable even when the babies start teething." Lin Yi said, "Then I''ll take those ones! I need to go out for a moment, just contact me after you''ve delivered them." The clerk hurriedly replied, "Of course, happy shopping." Lin Yi hung up and then set out to choose a motorhome with his dad and father-inw. Read engaging stories on m vl-em|p-yr However, at this moment, his father-inw hurriedly said to him. "Oh Lin Yi, why did you transfer so much money all at once? We really can''t ept this." Looking at his father-inw so agitated and insisting on returning the money to him, Lin Yi was very calm as he said, "I sent this money to Vivi. It''s for her to allocate. If you truly don''t want it, just return it directly to Vivi." This move by Lin Yi was indeed savvy, putting the responsibility squarely on Han Xuewei, indicating that the money was now hers, and that how she chose to use it was her prerogative. He wouldn''t interfere or have a say in it. The situation had turned into their daughter showing filial respect to her parents, leaving Lin Yi''s father-inw speechless, though he still insisted on giving the money back. Lin Yi added, "Dad, you should keep the money. No matter what, it''s a token of your daughter''s affection, and besides, I''ve also transferred some to my own parents. If my mom and dad have theirs, then my wife''s parents should too, right?" "Ah? Both Vivi''s mom and I have it? You transferred it to the both of us?" Surprise was written all over Han Xuewei''s father''s face. After all, the profits from thepany he ran were only a few million per year, asionally hitting ten million in a good year. But he hadn''t expected Lin Yi to just send ten million to each member of his family of three. Wasn''t that a bit too much? Even going as far as to call it pocket money! Han Xuewei''s mother, who had been ying with her phone in her room, suddenly received a message about the money transfer from her daughter. After running to her daughter to ask about it and learning it was Lin Yi''s idea, she hurried downstairs looking for him. Upon exiting the room, she happened to see her husband talking with Lin Yi in the living room and quickly approached to inquire. "Lin Yi, you transferred a lot of money, didn''t you? We really don''t need it, you should take it back!" Han Xuewei''s father also added, "Our son-inw transferred thirty million to Vivi in one go and told her to share it with the three of us. We really can''t ept this money, how can we take our child''s money?" Lin Yi helplessly spread his hands, and his father quickly stepped in to help out, "Don''t be shy, it''s all the kid''s good intentions. This boy has earned quite a bit of money this year!" "Thepany just distributed a dividend today, ny-five million, and that''s only the quarterly dividend. There will be another one in the second half of the year. Dear inws, please rest assured, from what Lin Yi means, all four of us as the elders have a share. So just ept it, and even if we don''t use it ourselves, buying some things for the grandchildren asionally isn''t out of the question, right?" Hearing what Lin Yi''s father had said, Han Xuewei''s parents also had no choice but to ept the money. Although they felt somewhat embarrassed, the father-inw had spoken up, and it would seem quite inappropriate to refuse. "Now that you''ve put it that way, it''s really difficult for us to refuse. We won''t squander the money; it will eventually end up in the hands of our precious grandchildren sooner orter." Lin Yi hastily said, "Dad, you really shouldn''t do that! You should use the money I gave you, don''t hesitate to spend it, especially since I''ll make even more money in the future! Vivi is your only daughter, and I will always treat you two like my own parents. So you and my mother-inw are also my parents, and we, as one big family, absolutely shouldn''t split things so distinctly. When I make money, the whole family makes money, so how can I differentiate between you and my mother-inw? Right?" "Oh my, I have to say, dear inw, Lin Yi is really filial! You''ve done well in raising him; he is both capable and sensible," praised Han Xuewei''s mother generously. Meanwhile, Lin Yi was calcting something else: he needed to talk to Aunt Wangter and give her a raise, and absolutely give her a big bonus! Aunt Wang had been taking care of him since he was little, and of course, he took her many years of hard work to heart. Now, with three babies of his own, Aunt Wang rarely got a good night''s sleep, and her efforts were not insignificant. Before Lin Yi left with the two fathers, he had a private chat with Aunt Wang, telling her that he would increase her sry next month by at least double, and he also transferred a bonus of fifty thousand yuan to her then and there as a token of appreciation. Aunt Wang was quite happy to hear about the sry increase, but she initially refused the money no matter what. After much persuasion from Lin Yi, who imed that thepany he invested in had distributed dividends, she finally epted it. "Lin Yi has grown up; he''s even more impressive than your dad!" Aunt Wang had watched him grow up, and she was, of course, immensely gratified. For many years, Aunt Wang''s sry had always been directly transferred by Lin Yi''s mother, totaling more than nine thousand each month. Lin Yi told her that starting next month, he would be handling the transfers himself, amounting to neen thousand a month, which of course included holiday allowances, year-end bonuses, and the like. After giving instructions to Aunt Wang, Lin Yi quickly took the two fathers out the door and drove his Land Rover Range Rover to a big car dealership. This dealership was the same one where he had purchased three cars in one transaction previously. The staff member standing at the entrance recognized Lin Yi immediately and hurried over to greet him without a second word. After all, Lin Yi''s face was one he could never forget! "Oh! You''re here? Mr. Lin!" The staff member greeted with a smile, "We''ve just gotten a batch of fine tea leaves, quickly brew some for Mr. Lin." He instructed a younger staff member next to him. While talking, he cheerfully invited the two men following Lin Yi. "Ah, these must be the uncles, right? Please, directly into the VIP room, wee, wee." Chapter 69: 69 Choosing a Motorhome Lin Yi said to the sales assistant, "These two are my dad and father-inw. We mainly want to pick an RV because we have quite a few family members, so functionality will do." "Of course, of course! Our dealership has a wide variety of models, and we''ll make sure you find one that satisfies you!" The assistant led the three men to the VIP room and served them tea. "The price of an RV will definitely be higher, Mr. Lin, do you have a budget? Or were there any specific models you had in mind in advance?" the sales assistant inquired. "We haven''t set a budget and haven''t looked at any models in advance. Let''s just see what''s avable today! If we find the right one, we won''t care about the price," Lin Yi said with great confidence, obviously a man of means. Lin Yi''s dad also added, "The most important thing is that it has to be suitable. It might take us a while to choose, does your dealership have the RVs in stock?" The assistant quickly replied, "We do have RVs in stock! We''re one of the top threergest dealerships in Xiangcheng, with a significant inventory! If you find the right one, taking it home today won''t be a problem at all! Let me take you all to have a closer look at the RV interiors!" The assistant made a point to wait until the three valued customers had finished their tea before standing up to lead them to the showroom. "We have a great variety of brands here too. Do you have a particr brand in mind? Whether it''s Hyundai, Ford, SAIC, or others, it''s no issue. We carry over a dozen brands!" Lin Yi''s dad responded, "Let''s start by looking at the SAIC ones. Then we can see how the Hyundai models are, and I''ve heard good things about Geely as well." After hearing this, Lin Yi also said to the assistant, "After looking at those three brands, let''s take a look at Mercedes! After all, with a name like that, nobody would believe they''re not up to par." The assistant perked up upon hearing this, "Mr. Lin, if you''re really considering the Mercedes brand, why don''t we head over to look at those models now? Our dealership only has one model of Mercedes RV, so after you''ve seen that, we can look at other brands." "Alright, let''s start with Mercedes then," both elders agreed. And so, they walked towards the Mercedes section, passing by other brand-specific areas, and saw a variety of RVs, somepact, and some incrediblyrge, just like buses. "The interiors of theserger RVs must be very spacious, but they seem a bit too big; driving and finding parking spaces would be inconvenient," Han Xuewei''s dadmented upon seeing therger RVs. Lin Yi''s dad also added, "Such arge vehicle isn''t quite right for us. We''re buying an RV for convenience. Our baby is still small and we can''t go far, just around the city area. So, something thisrge and bulky doesn''t make much sense." Lin Yi nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I had also considered this type, but in the end, I thought it would be better to wait until the kids are older and we go on family trips. Then we could sell the old one and get something bigger, more spacious for the whole family. For now, when choosing a model, we should aim for practicality! After all, we won''t drive it all the time." The assistant started to give an introduction, "Let me give you all a brief overview! We have all sorts of RVs here in our dealership." "These RVs to our left are the economical models, very popr among the younger crowd for traveling, and they''re quite affordable too, costing less than 400,000 yuan to drive off the lot." "And these RVs are not too bulky, maximizing the use of space. Small butplete, you know. Although they''re about the same size, some have two beds, some only one, and the number of seats also varies, so it''s up to you to decide what you prefer!" After listening, Lin Yi''s dad nodded and said, "We hope for more seats, as it''s certainly more secure to sit holding the baby." "Yes, I agree with that," Han Xue''s dad also nodded in approval. "As for the size, it would be nice if it''s slightly bigger than an ambnce and, of course, it needs to befortable," Lin Yi added. After looking around with the sales assistant for quite some time, they found that all the RVs were bigger than they expected. Money was no object for them; what they truly wanted was practicality. After touring with the assistant and trying out various ssic models, Lin Yi still hadn''t found one to his satisfaction. Some were the right size but had an interioryout he didn''t like, or the inside was too low. In short, after looking for a long time, not one of the models caught their eye. Ever since Han Xue''s dad started receiving pocket money from his son-inw, he had begun to pursue quality and practicality, not caring about the price at all! After all, the money was spent on the family, so naturally, he wanted something better. "This model is by Geely, unlike other RVs, as it''s a new energy vehicle. However, it is slightly longer, which makes finding a parking spot difficult, almost impossible on the side of the road," the assistant exined. "But just so you know, many RVs have long bodies, which is something you should consider." "This Ford T is rtively smaller in size, but still takes up an entire parking space. If the space is small, it''s not easy to park. Would you consider a business vehicle?" the assistant turned and inquired. Continue your saga on m-vl-e-mpyr "We''ve discussed this before we came out; we don''t really want a business vehicle, because of the baby." The reason they chose an RV was that it''s convenient when out and about to feed the baby, and even making up a bottle of milk is very easy. Even folding three strollers is not an issue, and when the baby grows up and needs more stuff, the RV has enough room to amodate everything. The family had already made ns, and both fathers agreed. "So, are we still interested in the Mercedes, or shall we go directly to the Ford?" the assistant turned and asked. "Your dealership has the cars in stock, right? Can we drive one home today?" Han Xuewei''s dad suddenly asked. "Yes, we canplete the paperwork in under ten minutes, and after payment, you can take the car," the assistant answered with a standard smile, very respectfully. Last time, Lin Yi bought three cars in one go, shooting his sales for the day up to several million! He also won the sales champion of the month! And from today''s situation, he had to sell an RV, no matter what. Since themission on RVs was high and these customers were not short of money, he might as well try to sell them something a bit more expensive! Chapter 70: 70 Mercedes-Benz C-Class ``` No matter whether he sold a Ford or a Mercedes, he could earn amission of tens of thousands! So the more expensive the car they bought, the better! "May I take you to see the Model B RV? The space is sufficient and the performance is quite good, would you consider it?" It was at this moment that Lin Yi''s father and Han Xuewei''s dad started discussing. "We''ve been looking so long, it seems all these RVs are about the same; there''s not much difference. Should we just go for the most expensive one?" "Yes, I feel the same way. After all, we''re not concerned about the price, the more expensive ones must have better performance. Otherwise, a bunch of small issues might crop up, and we better choose quickly and head home to see the kids. I have to go back to thepany tomorrow, I don''t know when I will see these three little ones again." "Haha, I''m also eager to get home to spend time with my grandkids. I''ll be very busy in the next few days." Hearing the two fathers talk, Lin Yi immediately understood their thoughts. He had originally thought that these two would try out various models and select carefully. Lin Yi did not expect them to be so eager to get home to the kids! But their thinking was correct, continuing like this was not the solution. Although they had already been looking for quite some time, they had not covered even half of this dealership! It must be said that the dealer''s owner was really impressive, rightfully one of the top dealerships! Upon hearing the conversation of the two fathers behind, the salesperson couldn''t be happier. The more expensive the purchase, the higher hismission! Lin Yi, seeing the two who were so intent on getting home to the children, turned to the salesperson and said, "You know our requirements for choosing a car, so you rmend one! The price should be higher, assuring quality andfort, and take us to see it now; I''m a bit busy." "Sure, sure, leave it to me, please rest assured. Let''s have a look at the Mercedes models now! The Model C RV, its performance is all OK." The salesperson couldn''t help but quicken his pace, leading them through numerous RVs, finally stopping in front of that particr model. He briskly stepped forward to pull open the car door and began to introduce it skillfully. "Listening to your needs, personally, I think the Model C RV is indeed a good choice. Especially this Sprinter, whether for family use or business purposes, there are no problems! The chassis of this vehicle is lower, giving a very prestigious appearance, and the power is also substantial, don''t worry about the performance at all! After all, the Mercedes brand speaks for itself, both external and internal are nearly perfect!" "Since you are mainly buying the vehicle for family use, the equipped air conditioning, refrigerator, water heater are all imported and are assured in terms of quality, likewise symbolizing the owner''s status!" "The three of you can take a seat and feel it for yourself, every inch of the leather is veryfortable!" The salesperson hastily invited Lin Yi and the two fathers to board the vehicle and experience the interior furnishings. Visit m,v le,mpyr today "The doors of this RV are quite luxurious, featuring mosquito bite prevention technology and are also very durable." "This RV is positioned as a high-end model, mainly for business use, so on top of beingfortable, the luxury factor has been elevated. The sofa is made of genuine leather, and the floors are of the same type used in high-end yachts. It offers an elegant environment while also ensuring your travel is more pleasant!" "We can have a close feel of this leather sofa now; the touch is very substantial and even if the elderly have ufortable backs, they will not feel difort when sitting on it. Plus, it''s very breathable, and since the table is height-adjustable, the space inside is also quiterge. If the beds are not enough, you cany another bed here!" After listening to the introduction, Lin Yi''s father and Han Xuewei''s father expressed satisfaction, and Lin Yi himself also thought it to be quite nice after hearing the introduction. "We''ve designed a charging port here; you can connect a power strip, you have a baby already, right? The vehicle has a built-in induction cooker, which is very convenient for heating milk for the baby when traveling. And it doesn''t affect the space at all; the fridge also has a capacity of 200 liters, quiterge but not energy-consuming, the battery is very energy-efficient!" "By pulling down the back of the sofa, there''s a storage box which can also serve as a sterilizing cab, offering a great sense of space." The salesperson became quite talkative, and then led them into the driver''s cabin. "The driver''s seat is also veryfortable and breathable, and offers a broad view while driving. The overall color palette is soft and exudes a feeling of elegance and grandeur!" Han Xuewei''s father nodded after hearing this, adding, "It seems you''re quite familiar with your business. Nicely exined!" Lin Yi''s father alsomented, "You exined everything in detail; we listened with rity." The salesman responded modestly, "You''re too kind, Uncle. This is all part of my job." "Lin Yi, what do you think about this car?" Lin Yi''s father suddenly asked his opinion. "It looks pretty good, the interior seems very high-end as well." Lin Yi looked around and spoke slowly. "This spot is veryfortable to sit in; it''s my favorite part!" Lin Yi''s father said as he sat on the sofa, "I''ve already figured it out; I''ll just sit right here. The dte can be lowered, and the overall space is quite spacious! Very nice." Han Xuewei''s father added, "Yes, I also think this design is very good, and this is an advantage not found in other RVs." It had to be said, the more Han Xuewei''s father looked at the vehicle, the more he liked it. Hearing their opinions, Lin Yi naturally had nothing else to say, so he turned to the salesperson and stated, "We''ll take this one! I also think it''s very nice." "By the way, Dad, should I take a photo and send it to the family group chat? Let Vivi and Mom, Mother-inw have a look, see what they think?" "Alright, alright, you guys sit there; I''ll take a photo, it''s more referential this way." Lin Yi''s dad took out his phone, snapping photos of every area, not missing any detail. Han Xuewei''s father, ying the role of a tour guide, even spoke directly in the chat about the advantages of this vehicle. Just like that, the family chatted excitedly in the group chat. After some discussion, everyone felt that the RV was very good, so Lin Yi followed the salesperson to start the paperwork. He still enjoyed the usual discount; the total price of the vehicle was 1.6 million. The paperwork took a long time, with signing and various tedious processes involved. Lin Yi''s father and Han Xuewei''s father sat in the VIP lounge waiting patiently. ``` Chapter 71: 71: Acquiring a Plot of Land So they waited for about ten minutes before the two elders began to grow impatient, "Lin Yi, why don''t you go ahead andplete the paperwork? When you''re done, you can drive the RV back. Xue Mei and I are heading home to spend some more time with the baby before I have to return to the office." Seeing how these two were constantly preupied with their grandson and granddaughter, Lin Yi could only agree, "Alright, then you two take my car home first. I''lle back as soon as I finish the paperwork." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he handed the car keys to his dad and had the staff escort the two of them out. With plenty of time on his hands, Lin Yi had the staff give him a detailed exnation of the vehicle''s operating system. They were quite enthusiastic, even going through the manual button by button. Lin Yi activated his photographic memory skill and firmly memorized all the operations. Discover stories at m|v|l|e|mp|y|r After that, the familiar notification sounded in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions, Host, for acquiring a new skill for the babies! You have received a hidden reward!" "The reward is 1,800 square meters ofnd in the city center. The area is well-equipped with nearby facilities." Lin Yi was startled upon hearing this and immediately asked, "Are you talking aboutnd in the city center? The reward is a plot ofnd! And it''s 1,800 square meters at that! This reward ispletely unfounded! Could it be random? Could learning one skill reallye with such a huge reward?" "Replying to the Host, each reward is randomly selected by the system." Lin Yi was instantly dumbfounded! He waspletely overwhelmed! No wonder! He had long noticed that the rewards he received were always unpredictable, sometimes gaining great rewards for a trivial action! Lin Yi, very excited inside, drove the newly purchased RV home. By the time he arrived, it was already evening, close to dinner time. He parked the vehicle in the garage, and the whole family immediately came to take a look, entering the RV to admire it. Meanwhile, Lin Yi took the opportunity to grab Han Xuewei''s slender hand and whispered, "You promised me today that tonight..." Han Xuewei''s face turned red immediately, and she yfully scolded him, "Oh, stop it..." Her coy voice made Lin Yi''s heart unable to calm down for a long time. The family admired the vehicle for quite a while and unanimously expressed their satisfaction. Lin Yi then made dinner for everyone to celebrate the new acquisition. After they finished eating, Lin Yi contacted the female sales associate. "Hello, you have all the items I need in stock, right?" The sales associate on the other end sounded very busy, with Lin Yi hearing a noisy background before she hurriedly responded, "We''ve already packed everything and will deliver it to your house right away!" "Okay, great." After helping Aunt Wang with the dishes, Lin Yi received a call from the sales associate, informing him that all the baby products were delivered to the front door. At the same time, he also received the baby walkers. Two in blue and one in pink. "Mr. Lin, these are gifts for the babies, specially instructed by our store manager as a thank you for your long-term support of our store." By the time Lin Yi got to the front door, several boxes of form and many bags of diapers were neatly ced at the entrance. And unlike before, this time the driver also got out of the car to help move things. Seeing the color of the baby walker, Lin Yi felt that the store manager was quite attentive. Lin Yi epted the gift and said very politely, "Yourpany is really too kind, thank you so much! Just leave the things at the door; I can move them myself!" Lin Yi saw that the female clerk wanted to help him move the things inside, so he kindly refused. Actually, he was quite particr about letting others into his home, and besides, there weren''t many items; he couldpletely handle them on his own. After the clerk heard this, she quickly agreed and then said to the driver, "Honey, there''s no need to move them upstairs then." It dawned on Lin Yi that these two people were a couple. It seemed that the female clerk had learned her lesson, grown wiser; if the driver she calledst time wouldn''t help, then she had to get her own husband to step in. After asking about the price, Lin Yi transferred some money as usual, and still, as always, sent a few hundred more. The clerk thanked him very politely, then left with her husband. Lin Yi moved the items one by one to the storeroom. At this time, Lin Yi''s dad and Dad Han were taking care of the baby in the nursery! After all, they would leave early the next morning, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with their dear grandson and granddaughter. Lin Yi finally moved everything to the storeroom and then returned to the bedroom. He said to Han Xuewei, "Vivi, I have a big surprise for you! Let''s go have a look in a bit!" "Ah? What kind of surprise? Didn''t you just give me a gift not long ago? And you already sent so much money, I really don''t need anything else." "Ohe on, just go out with me for a bit. Walk with me, it''s just a little surprise. Also, make sure to bring the card I gave youst time." Lin Yi actually wasn''t clear about what kind of jewelry the brand called "True Love" had sent, so he just told his wife it was a little surprise. "Well... I''ll go with you then. Fortunately, I had a good rest at noon, so I feel quite energized. I''ll go upstairs and get dressed, then we can go out together." After finishing up what she was doing, Han Xuewei got up and went upstairs to the walk-in closet. But after trying on clothes for quite a while, she found she nearly had no suitable clothing left! It turned out that her figure had changed during pregnancy, and now there were almost no suitable clothes for going out, except for maternity wear. Lin Yi waited outside for quite a while, and seeing that his wife hadn''te out yet, he gently knocked on the door and asked, "Vivi, are you done changing?" Han Xuewei, feeling quite embarrassed after hearing her husband''s prompting, replied, "I can''t fit into many clothes anymore, especially pants. I can''t squeeze into them; now I can only wear maternity outfits." Han Xuewei couldn''t help but remember how she weighed less than 100 pounds before her pregnancy! Now that her figure had changed like this, what was she to do? "Ah, I''ve been negligent, overlooking this. Since we''re going out today, let''s buy you more clothes. I haven''t gone shopping with you in a long time. Make sure to buy anything you like, okay?" Han Xuewei softly hummed an affirmation from inside, then changed into a piece of maternity wear. With that, Lin Yi also noticed the changes in his wife''s figure. Before the pregnancy, Han Xuewei was known as the school beauty not only because of her good looks but also her impable figure! She was 167cm tall, but her weight was less than 100 pounds, a truly enviable figure! Chapter 72: 72: Super VIP Membership Card ``` But now, her chest and hips had obviously grown a lot, and her face also seemed fleshier than before. "I just remembered, if we need to go out, I should pump milk in advance; otherwise, it''ll be very ufortable after a few hours, with the milk engorgement." Han Xuewei had alreadypleted her confinement. He milk supply was ample, and sometimes she could satisfy both babies at once. If there was any excess milk, she had to pump it out and store it in the refrigerator. Han Xuewei had breastfed the baby before dinner, and not much time had passed since then, but she needed to pump before leaving the house, or else she would feel engorged in another two hours, which would be very ufortable. And since it would be inconvenient to pump milk while out, she had to finish all these tasks before leaving. Lin Yi also knew that as long as the baby regrly breastfed, the milk supply would increase, but if engorgement urred frequently, her milk supply would decrease over time. Han Xuewei tried her best to prevent engorgement at all costs, not even once, because she wished for each baby to have breast milk every day. Thinking of this, she quickly ran back to the room and started pumping with a breast pump. Lin Yi found his cute wife rushing around a bit amusing, but after all, Han Xuewei was a verypetent mother and truly loved their babies. Maybe this was the essence of the saying, "Women are fragile by nature but turn strong for their children." Lin Yi waited at the door for a while longer before he saw Han Xuewei carrying a bag of milk, which she then ced in a small refrigerator. She quickly came out, took Lin Yi''s arm, and said, "Let''s hurry out. Aunt Wang can help me with the rest." "Sure, no problem. You can just leave the breast pump out, and I''ll help you wash it when wee back!" With that, the couple informed others and then got into the car together and left. This was the second time the two of them had gone out for shopping together since the pregnancy, spending sweet time in their own little world! The mothers of Lin Yi and Han Xuewei saw them leave and couldn''t help smiling as they both headed for the nursery. The responsibility of taking care of the grandchildren then fell on their shoulders. The young couple was very affectionate every day, and the whole family got along harmoniously. Which parents and elders wouldn''t be satisfied with such a scene? Lin Yi drove the Range Rover and chatted with his wife about how the weight of the three babies had been increasing continuously these days. After more than half an hour, the car slowly stopped in front of one of the most prestigious shopping centers around. Qianda Shopping za. Han Xuewei, arm in arm with Lin Yi, walked in. They took the elevator to the second floor and headed straight for the "True Love" diamond counter. An extremely morous counter attendant quickly came forward to greet Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, "Good evening, are you here to select a diamond?" Most of the young men and women who came here were there to choose wedding rings, but this consumer group generally didn''t spend more than twenty or thirty thousand on a diamond, so the sales figures weren''t particrly high. The attendant simrly had no intention of selling high-value diamonds and promptly guided them towards the lower-priced area upon greeting them. But Lin Yi did not answer her directly. Instead, in the next second, he calmly asked Han Xuewei to show her VIP card. When the attendant saw the glittering gold card, she was instantly bbergasted! ``` He stood there stunned for a long time, at a loss for what to do. Lin Yi slowly said, "I ced an order for a set of jewelry in your store previously, and I came specially today to pick it up." The female staff member, aware of how esteemed the customer before her was, quickly took the VIP card and said with great respect, "Right away! How should I address you, sir? I will call the manager right now." Every employee who starts working here must recognize this card on their first day! Only the most honored VIPs can obtain this card! Moreover, this card is not obtained through application, but one must umte purchases amounting to six hundred million for thepany to specially customize this pure gold VIP card for the customer! Six hundred million!! What kind of concept is that?!! Some people might not earn that much money in their entire lifetime! So just with this dazzling golden VIP card, the counter staff was utterly dumbfounded! Without another word, she turned and ran into the store to look for the manager! The manager of this store, surnamed Guo, was instantly alert when she saw the dazzling golden card in the staff member''s hand. After all, throughout Xiangcheng, there must be very few people who possess this card, let alone on a national scale, possibly less than ten! After all, those who can spend around six hundred million on diamonds and gold are incredibly wealthy magnates! Such super-members are considered prime clients of the entire brand, and it is every manager''s duty to receive them well. So, upon seeing the gold card, Manager Guo did not dare to dy, and she came rushing over in a fluster. She paused for a moment to adjust her appearance, then approached Lin Yi and Han Xuewei with the brand''s signature smile, and warmly asked, "Good evening, how may I address the two of you?" "My name is Lin Yi, I''ve ordered a full set of diamonds here before, the True Love Baby series, and I''vee especially today to collect them," replied Lin Yi. The manager was even more astonished upon hearing this, because just a few days ago, in an afternoon, thepany had gathered all the managers for an important meeting. The content of the meeting was straightforward - the True Love Baby diamond set had been purchased by a wealthy businessman at a premium price! This wealthy businessman''s name was Lin Yi!! Looking once more at the young man before her, who imed to be Lin Yi, along with the super VIP gold card in his hand, everything was clear, Lin Yi''s status was right there before her eyes! "Mr. Lin, I apologize for our indiscretion as this is our first meeting. Please forgive ourck of respect," said the manager. Lin Yi indifferently replied, "It''s fine." "Thank you so much for your understanding," the manager said with a persevering smile, then asked, "Would you like to take the custom-ordered True Love Baby diamond series now? We temporarily cannot produce the diamonds you ordered at this branch, but please don''t worry. We will send someone to thepany''s warehouse to retrieve them right now. Please wait a moment, it will be in your hands within twenty minutes. Mr. Lin, would you be willing to wait a bit?" The manager maintained the very emblematic smile on her face throughout. After hearing this, Lin Yi didn''t react much, simply nodding faintly, "Alright then, we will take a walk nearby. I will leave my number; you can call me directly when the diamonds arrive." He thought it would be a good opportunity to stroll in the vicinity with Han Xuewei and pick out a few fitting clothes for his wife. Chapter 73: 73 The Womens Clothing Store The manager also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, she had thought this VIP customer might get angry because of the long wait. But to her surprise, the young man before her was so easygoing! Lin Yi left his mobile number, discussed the timing with the manager, then put the VIP card into his pocket, and walked out of the jewelry store with Han Xuewei. They headed towards the floor specializing in women''s clothing. They entered a very prestigious women''s clothing store, where even from the outside, they could see many beautifully designed garments. All of the clothing in this store was the work of a domestically well-known designer, and Han Xuewei was deeply attracted to the clothes here. Because,pared to the stylesmonly seen on the streets, every piece of clothing in this store was handmade and required customization! While ensuring quality, this also ensured that each piece of clothing was unique! It must be said, this sales method was quite distinctive. As a result, this First Grade brand had some renown in the country, with a considerable annual sales volume. Read more exciting tales at m-vl-e-mpy-r The brand was named LZZ, after the designer Liang Zhizhong. Lin Yi saw that Han Xuewei''s attention was entirely captured, so he led his wife straight into the store to start picking out clothes. Han Xuewei casually picked up a price tag: "Oh my God! The clothes here are so expensive! These pants alone cost two thousand five hundred!" Pants worth over two thousand on disy in the regr area, then how much must those premium suits in the luxury section cost? Although Lin Yi had given her ten million as pocket money, Han Xuewei was not the type of person to spend money like water! The education she received also didn''t allow her to do so! Even though Han Xuewei''s father was a business owner with a significant yearly ie, this didn''t stop him from instilling the right values in his daughter. From a young age, the clothes Han Xuewei wore were not necessarily expensive; as long as they fit well and werefortable, that was enough, and the most expensive would only be a few hundred yuan. Even if she had to attend events that required more formal attire, she would pick out a gown. However, that gown cost only two or three thousand, and she had been wearing it for several years. Many girls spend a lot on their clothes, evenpeting with others, but Han Xuewei was not such a girl. Although she had delicate features and a good figure, widely recognized as the school beauty, she did not like to mingle too much with those girls who wore heavy makeup. So much so that many ssmates thought Han Xuewei was very unusual, or rather, had the image of a high-and-mighty goddess. At this moment, Han Xuewei looked at the price tag on the pants and started to feel conflicted. She admitted that she liked the cut of the pants, but spending so much on a single pair didn''t seem worth it to her. In fact, Han Xuewei was not very familiar with this brand; it seemed niche to her, so she thought the clothing would be moderately priced. Even if it were more expensive, it couldn''t be pricier than those branded fashion stores, right? But the reality was not as she expected; the price of a pair of pants made her hesitant. Indeed, Lin Yi was very wealthy, and a couple thousand was nothing to him, but Han Xuewei just couldn''t persuade herself to spend that much on a pair of pants. Lin Yi saw his wife eyeing these pants for a long time, asionally checking the price tag; he could guess what she was thinking. It seemed she must have found the price unreasonable and thought the pants weren''t worth it. Then, Lin Yi said to Han Xuewei, "Wife, it''s been a long time since we''ve gone out shopping together. If you really like them, then let''s buy them. You don''t have much time to shop usually, so let''s just go ahead and buy, okay? Don''t worry about the money." Han Xuewei turned her gaze towards him: "Ah, but I¡­ still feel these pants are a bit too expensive, and the material doesn''t seem that special¡­" Lin Yi hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I think these pants look good, and they''ll definitely suit you. If you think they''re okay, then let''s buy them. I''m willing to buy them for you! As the saying goes, ''you can''t put a price on willingness''." Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi with a gentle gaze: "Thank you, husband; then, I''ll pick what I like!" Actually, she had thought about checking out other stores; after all, good things don''t have to be expensive. But this store indeed had clothes whose styles attracted her, and since Lin Yi kept reassuring her, she changed her mind. Actually, Lin Yi also greatly appreciated this aspect of Han Xuewei. It''s known that some women, when shopping with their partners, want to buy whatever they like without considering if the price is within their range or even sparing a thought for their partner. Sometimes, a single shopping trip can leave the partner needing to cut corners for a long time to recover from the expenditure. When the two entered the shop, a female sales associate quietly followed them; naturally, their conversation also reached her ears. The sales associate thought: "Haven''t sold a single item in the past two days, but this couple seems promising! Maybe they''ll really buy a few pieces. If so, I''ll make sure they spend a few tens of thousands more, or they won''t leave so easily!" Usual shoppers here were, of course, wealthy people, so in the sales associate''s view, it wasmon for customers to spend tens of thousands of yuan. However, there were also some who stumbled in by mistake; these people typically didn''t recognize the high-end brand and would walk away dejectedly upon seeing the prices. To such people, the eagle-eyed sales associate could spot at a nce. However, from her perspective, Han Xuewei seemed to be that type of customer, obviously troubled upon learning the price and even discussing it with her boyfriend. Most of the young female customers who shopped here understood well; they never looked at prices and would pay immediately after choosing what they liked. But Lin Yi''s words instantly brightened the sales associate''s mood. He was encouraging his girlfriend not to worry about prices, to freely buy what she liked, so the sales associate could be sure that today''s business was a done deal! The sales associate approached them with a smile on her face and suddenly said, "My, you''re really blessed, aren''t you? Your boyfriend must love you very much!" Lin Yi corrected her, "I''m her husband; we''re already married." The sales associate couldn''t help but feel a hint of surprise. The couple was quite good-looking and seemed young, almost like students, so she assumed they were a couple in the throes of passionate love. However, to her surprise, they were actually married! Chapter 74: 74: The Fitting Room Kiss However, the next second, the female clerk quickly corrected herself, "Oh, that really is congrattions, congrattions, I didn''t expect you two to be so young and already have found true love! I''m really envious of you, how lucky! And this miss is both beautiful and good at running a household!" The words spoken by the female clerk were indeed sincere, as she genuinely felt that Han Xuewei was a good girl. After all, she had worked here for such a long time, and her judgment of people was quite urate. Many girls as beautiful as Han Xuewei woulde here, not even looking at the price tags; they''d choose clothes they liked and have theirpanions buy, buy, buy! It was unexpected that these two had married so early, and that this girl would save money for her husband. Every time Lin Yi openly said they were husband and wife, Han Xuewei''s heart would feel a secret delight. Upon hearing the praise, she smiled and nodded, expressing her thanks. Lin Yi also nodded politely to the clerk without saying much. The clerk started to introduce the more fashionable items in the store to Han Xuewei and, at the same time, kept praising how Han Xuewei had married a good husband who was very caring. Throughout it all, Han Xuewei''s cheeks were slightly red; although she agreed with the point, she still couldn''t help but feel shy due to other people''spliments. Lin Yi was now focused on apanying his wife shopping, buying her clothes she liked, picking styles that suited her, and matching them with beautiful bags. This was, after all, the first time he hade out with Han Xuewei specifically to pick clothes and bags! In the past, their shopping mainly centered around baby stores, asionally looking at clothes they passed by, or they were apanied by their parents the whole time, without any space for themselves. Today was a good opportunity to firmly remember everything his wife liked! Whether it was the brands or styles of clothes. As they shopped, Han Xuewei looked at a dress and then turned to ask Lin Yi, "Honey, how about this one?" Lin Yi thought the dress was quite nice, so he smiled and said, "Try it on! It looks pretty, let''s see if it fits well." Han Xuewei saw the eager expression on the clerk''s face and looked at Lin Yi''s eyes, so she nodded, "Then I''ll give it a try." The clerk led Han Xuewei into the fitting room and waited at the door for her to change into the dress. Outside, Lin Yi was busy picking out a lot of clothes for Han Xuewei, all of which were inrger sizes. It was at that moment that Han Xuewei called out from the fitting room, "Husband, can youe in now?" Hmm? What does she need at this moment asking me toe in? Lin Yi was also taken aback for a second. But he couldn''t hesitate as the fitting room door was slowly pushed open a crack. Lin Yi, holding the clothes he had chosen, hurried through the door and had to admit the interior was quite spacious, fitting three or four people at a time. As soon as he entered, he saw Han Xuewei with her back to him. She said, "Honey, I can''t zip up this dress, please help me." Lin Yi ced the clothes Han Xuewei had picked out and the ones he had chosen for her on a bench, then went over to help. After zipping up the dress, Han Xuewei walked to the mirror to take a look, then smiled at Lin Yi, "Wow, this dress really looks good on me, and the size I chose is just right. I purposely picked two sizesrger just now." Sighing, she said, "I was quite slender before pregnancy, but now I need two sizesrger when buying clothes." Lin Yi didn''t say much else and instead directly embraced Han Xuewei in his arms. "Who says you''ve gained weight? I think you look great like this, healthier than before, and there''s more of you to hold. I like it this way, and I don''t care about your looks at all, it''s you I love. If you really do mind your current figure and want to get back to how you used to be, then let''s go for a slimming treatment! We''ll go to a good beauty salon. Postnatal recovery is definitely helpful." Lin Yi, looking at his incredibly cute wife, continued, "Postnatal recovery was rmended by the doctor before, and it''s highly encouraged for women to do it, otherwise it can greatly impact your health. Since even the doctors suggest it, let''s go for it with confidence!" Han Xuewei leaned her head on Lin Yi''s shoulder and quietly said, "Okay, sure." Lin Yi then said, "So whatever clothes you like now, I''ll buy them for you. Don''t worry about the price at all." Han Xuewei nodded gently, agreeing softly. Lin Yi was very satisfied with this response, then pointed to the clothes he had picked out and said, "These are chosen ording to my taste. Try them on one by one. It won''t take long, and if you like them, we''ll buy them right away." Han Xuewei stood on tiptoes and kissed Lin Yi''s face, saying, "Thank you, hubby." "What''s there to thank your hubby for? Isn''t this what I should be doing? Besides, isn''t it my duty to love you properly?" With that, Lin Yi took Han Xuewei''s head in his hands and ced a deep kiss on her red lips, leaving a kiss mark! They kissed for a good while in the fitting room before stopping! And if it hadn''t been for Han Xuewei being short of breath and pushing Lin Yi back, he would have been reluctant to stop! "Oh no, that won''t do, I''m out of breath, and people wille in to change soon." Han Xuewei hurriedly urged Lin Yi to wait outside. "Okay, I''ll wait for you out here. Take your time changing, no rush." Although Lin Yi verbally agreed, he couldn''t help listening for her a bit longer. Who could me him when Han Xuewei attracted him like Magic Power in every way! Read further on m_vl em,pyr Lin Yi, looking at Han Xuewei''s blushing face, smiled and said, "Once you''re done changing, we can go out together." "You''ve been in here so long, people outside are bound to get the wrong idea." As Han Xuewei spoke, she couldn''t help feeling shy. After all, the stories about certain fitting room incidents had already gone viral on the inte. So if a man and a woman stayed in a mall fitting room for too long, misunderstandings were bound to arise. And so they both walked out of the fitting room. The female store clerk wasn''t waiting at the entrance of the fitting room; instead, she had gone directly to the cash register. Seeing this, Han Xuewei also breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing the clerk wasn''t waiting outside; otherwise, how embarrassing that would''ve been! Moreover, they were in a public ce, and they had to be more mindful of their behavior. Han Xuewei pretended to beposed as she straightened her dress, admiring it in front of the mirror. Lin Yi came to her side and stood quietly as well. Looking at Han Xuewei, Lin Yi said with a smile, "How about we pick out a matching couple''s outfit next? The clothes in this store are indeed nice, and I''ve already got my eye on a set for us." Chapter 75: 75 All Wrapped Up The cashier at the counter, upon hearing their request, led the couple to the couples'' clothing section and started showcasing the store''stest matching outfits. Lin Yi even apanied Han Xuewei in trying on many styles, and even received a call from the jewelry store while fitting. He simply asked them to wait for a moment. Han Xuewei was of course very happy trying on the couples'' outfits. This scene reminded her of thest time they went shopping together, and a sweet feeling naturally emerged, as if they were deeply in love. After trying on clothes back and forth for over half an hour, Lin Yi picked out the ones he felt were suitable and looked better on them, then directly said to the female cashier, "Pack up all these in our sizes, please!" Han Xuewei immediately tried to dissuade him upon hearing this, "Isn''t this too much? One or two sets would be enough; we can''t wear all of these." Lin Yi, however, appeared nonchnt, "If anything, we can just wear a different set every two or three days, no problem." Seeing Lin Yi''s stubbornness, Han Xuewei had no choice but to watch the cashier pack up all the selected couples'' outfits and her own clothes. After some calctions, the cashier quoted the couple, "Sir, all your clothes are packed, and you''ve been automatically enrolled as a member, enjoying a 20% discount. The total is 310,000. Will you be paying by QR code or card?" Without a second thought, Lin Yi pulled out a card from his wallet and handed it over, "Card, please!" The cashier was momentarily taken aback when she saw that Lin Yi had produced just a regr bank card, but after swiping it, the screen immediately disyed the word "Sess!" 310,000, swiped just like that! And without using a credit card! He paid directly with a debit card! Could this be what wealthy people are like? The cashier promptly handed over all the packaged clothes to Lin Yi, very respectfully saw them off, and then watched them take the esctor towards the jewelry specialist floor. The envy in her eyes was unmistakable! Watching the couple''s retreating backs, the cashier mumbled, "I wonder when my Prince Charming will show up. Good men like this are truly rare..." After her moment of reflection, she returned to the store and got back to work earnestly. No sooner had Lin Yi stepped out of the store than he heard the system''s notification in his mind. "Ding, congrattions host, you''ve sessfully increased your wife''s joy level, earning one system reward g entry ticket." "A g entry ticket? What kind of g entry ticket?" Lin Yi was slightly startled upon hearing this and expressed his confusion. "Charity ball." Hearing this, Lin Yi was even more puzzled. Weren''t these system rewards a bit too random? Could it be the system was hinting that he should take Han Xuewei to attend? It would be a perfect opportunity for his wife to wear this beautiful set of diamonds. If that was indeed the case, then he should take his wife to choose a gownter on! With this in mind, Lin Yi carried several shopping bags from the mall, leading his wife towards the Zhen Ai Baby Jewelry store. As soon as they entered the store, they noticed the presence of not only the previously encountered Manager Guo but also several other department managers. At the same time, there were many more security guards in the jewelry store. With a 890 million diamond in hand, anyone would enhance security measures. To say one wasn''t anxious would be lying. ``` Seeing Lin Yi enter the store, those people quickly came forward to greet him. "Mr. Lin, the True Love Baby series diamond you ordered has arrived. Please confirm and sign here after checking." Lin Yi nodded and replied, "Hmm, okay." On Manager Guo and his party led them straight into the VIP room, while the security guards stood honestly by the door, with others waiting outside. Just at this moment, a woman happened to pass by the entrance of the jewelry store. She was Lin Yi''s ex-girlfriend¡ªLi Jingwen! However, Li Jingwen didn''te here alone, at this moment she was clinging to a man''s arm, inadvertently walking into this store. The store clerk at the entrance, seeing the stylistic appearance of the two, greeted them quite enthusiastically. "Good evening to you both." Li Jingwen didn''t bother to respond to the approaching clerk, instead, she directly lifted her hand to check the ring on it, then said, "Do you have any five-carat diamond rings here? If so, bring them all out. Let me see what styles you have." The man apanying Li Jingwen had been ying with his phone, head down, ever since he entered the store, seemingly uninterested. As soon as Li Jingwen walked in, she caught sight of Lin Yi being ushered into a room, swarmed by a group of people, and couldn''t help but look over several times. Right after that, she leaned into the ear of herpanion and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the manughed contemptuously, "Humph, even if he hasn''t gone bankrupt, my family''s assets are probably miles ahead of theirs!" This man was also an alumnus of theirs. He came from a wealthy family and was quite ostentatious, which made him a well-known figure in the campus. His name was Yang Fan. His family was indeed rich, with total assets exceeding two billion yuan. Yet even so, looking at the whole of Xiangcheng, the business his family ran could only be considered ordinary, ssified as third-rate in the industry. Lin Yi''s father''spany was, before its decline, roughly equal to Yang Fan''s family business. When Lin Yi''s familypany began to falter, Yang Fan had known early on; since then, he looked down on Lin Yi quite a bit. However, what surprised Yang Fan was that Li Jingwen had mentioned that Han Xuewei, the recognized campus belle, was also with Lin Yi! After hearing this, Yang Fan suddenly felt infuriated! After all, he was once one of Han Xuewei''s suitors! Moreover, from freshman year he had pursued her relentlessly, but as the four years of university were about to draw to a close, he still hadn''t won her over. As a rich second-generation, Yang Fan didn''t stick to his original intention of pursuing only Han Xuewei; he also dated other girls, even more than one! Han Xuewei always saw Yang Fan with different girls by his side, so she never had the slightest bit of affection for this rich second-generation from the start to the end. Li Jingwen, noticing the obvious change in her boyfriend''s expression after hearing the news, asked, "What are you thinking about?" Yang Fan said coldly, "Why is today so unlucky? I didn''t expect to run into her! Han Xuewei!" Li Jingwen, after hearing this, shrugged indifferently and then said, "What''s so surprising? I''ve long heard the rumors that these two have already had a child together! They''re on a break from school now! I just can''t understand, when did the two of them start an affair? It hasn''t been that long since I broke up with Lin Yi, has it? Howe they already have a child now? They sure move fast!" ``` Chapter 76 Running into an Ex-Girlfriend Upon hearing this, Yang Fan''s anger surged uncontrobly, knowing that he had pursued Han Xuewei for nearly four years without ever receiving a warm response from her; she hadn''t even given him the chance to be alone with her. Yet, unexpectedly, Lin Yi, the young upstart, had picked up such a great deal! How could Yang Fan remainposed? At that moment, in the VIP room, Han Xuewei mentioned she wanted to go to the restroom, so Lin Yi apanied her out. After spotting them, Yang Fan immediately took Li Jingwen by the arm and quickly walked over toward the pair! The corners of Li Jingwen''s mouth curled up slightly. Her efforts to stir the pot on the side were bearing fruit! "Oh, I was wondering why that face looked so familiar. It''s Lin Yi, isn''t it? We haven''t seen each other for a while, have we?" Li Jingwen was the first to greet Lin Yi, but she didn''t give Han Xuewei a nce at all from beginning to end. Lin Yi recognized the neers but silently chose not to acknowledge them. Manager Guo, who was apanying them, became very alert upon seeing someone approaching, and the security guards in the lobby also started to walk slowly in their direction. Curious, Han Xuewei asked, "Eh? Yang Fan? What are you doing here?" Hearing his wife mention the name of Li Jingwen''s boyfriend, Lin Yi grew a bit curious. In a low voice, Han Xuewei whispered to Lin Yi, "His name is Yang Fan, and he has been pursuing me since our freshman year, but he hasn''t bothered me in recent months. It turns out that he''s been dating Li Jingwen." Lin Yi nodded slightly, saying nothing further. It seemed that Li Jingwen had quickly found a new boyfriend after breaking up with him, and this person was undoubtedly Yang Fan. Seeing Li Jingwen''s hand tightly linked with Yang Fan''s arm, looking very intimate, it was clear that the two of them were likely in the throes of a passionate romance. In Lin Yi''s previous rtionship with Li Jingwen, he had never seen her take such initiative! The two had known each other since their freshman year, and the rtionships they had back then were very serious. However, as Li Jingwen experienced more of life, her standards continued to rise, and so did her desires for material things. So, during thest year of their rtionship, Li Jingwen always demanded that Lin Yi give her a variety of handbags, along with diamond and gold jewelry. Lin Yi didn''t think such requests were excessive and considered them quite normal, after all, it''s no big deal to give gifts to a girlfriend while dating. At that time, Lin Yi''s family business hadn''t begun to decline, and he received tens of thousands in living expenses each month, though arge portion went to Li Jingwen. Even now, the bags Li Jingwen carried were birthday gifts from Lin Yi, each valued at over ten thousand. However, their rtionship did not have a happy ending. Upon hearing that Lin Yi''s familypany was on the brink of bankruptcy, Li Jingwen coldly broke it off with him. Realizing that Lin Yi''s living expenses had drastically reduced and that she could no longer gain anything more from him, she decisively cut ties with Lin Yi and resolutely started dating Yang Fan! Lin Yi took Han Xuewei to the restroom, while Yang Fan led Li Jingwen directly into the VIP room. The proud Yang Fan ignored everyone around him, only waiting for Lin Yi and Han Xuewei to return. A short whileter, the pair returned to the VIP room, led by Manager Guo. Yang Fan looked at the manager and then at Lin Yi, letting out a sneer, and said, "You really surprise me, you know? Your family is almost bankrupt, and yet you dare to bring a woman to such a fancy ce? Are you not afraid of emptying your pockets?" Manager Guo and the other staff noticed that Lin Yi seemed to know the two people who had juste in, so they didn''t dare to interrupt from beginning to end. At this moment, a staff member brought over a very delicate safety box, which was also kept aside by Manager Guo, simply to avoid disturbing Lin Yi and his conversation. It truly was a diamond worth several hundred million! Even the safety box for the diamond was so exquisite! Upon hearing their conversation, Manager Guo couldn''t help but murmur to himself, "Why did these young people have to show up at this critical moment? And they even dare to be aggressive towards our VIP guests, what kind of background do they have?" Despite his vast experience in judging people, the manager was at a loss for a moment upon seeing how strongly they were disparaging the buyer of the diamonds. Han Xuewei saw that Lin Yi was unwilling to speak, and even ignored Yang Fan, so she shifted the topic by asking Yang Fan, "Are you here to buy a diamond ring?" Yang Fan, hearing the question from the goddess he had long admired, gave a faint smile and then said, "More or less, just buying a little gift for my girlfriend." Li Jingwen saw that Lin Yi had been silent from the beginning and gave him a contemptuous nce before immediately picking up on Han Xuewei''s thread of conversation. "Right, a gift for my girlfriend! Our Yang Fan always brings me to these kinds of jewelry stores to buy gifts, unlike some people, who didn''t even bother to buy a ring after being with me for so long!" Lin Yi lifted his eyes slightly and replied indifferently, "That''s right, I can''t afford rings. Some people currently carry a bag that is still a gift from me though! That bag costs at least fifty thousand, right?" Upon hearing this, Li Jingwen was upset and quickly retorted, "That''s nonsense! This isn''t a gift from you! I bought this bag with my own money!" "Heh," Lin Yi merely let out a coldugh and said no more. Li Jingwen''s family ran a fruit shop, and their annual turnover was barely a few hundred thousand. How could she possibly buy such an expensive bag? At this moment, Lin Yi couldn''t be bothered to pay her any more attention! He didn''t want to haggle over every detail with such people in public! Otherwise, it would make him look cheap! However, Li Jingwen became even more aggressive, "Hmph, I''m not like certain people who don''t understand their own limits. You can barely keep your ownpany from going bankrupt, and yet you bring a woman to a ce with such high consumption? Who are you trying to fool? With the little pocket change you have, buying a two-carat diamond must be tough, right?" Li Jingwen, having said these words, did not show a friendly face either, and after finishing her sentence, she crossed her legs arrogantly and rolled her eyes dramatically. Han Xuewei couldn''t listen any longer at this point. She hadn''t expected Lin Yi''s ex-girlfriend to be so hypocritical! "Li ssmate, what we buy is a matter between husband and wife and has nothing to do with you two. If you''re here to shop, please go outside. Sitting here, you are only disturbing me and my husband!" "Disturbing? Ha! You¡­" Li Jingwen got even more excited upon hearing this, "I want to hear exactly how we are disturbing you?" Yang Fan sat silently on the side, not saying a word. He wanted to see what these two people were going to do now! Seeing Han Xuewei arrive, Lin Yi reached out and pulled her to his side. He didn''t want his wife involved in this dispute because it was clear that Li Jingwen''s intention was to target him! Chapter 77: Chapter 78: The Invaluable Pink-Purple Diamond Because the True Love baby series of diamond jewelry features extremely high carat diamonds that are wless, without a single impurity! Li Jinglei and Yang Fan had veryplex expressions on their faces when they saw this, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion! How could this be possible? How could Lin Yi afford such expensive diamonds?? Where did he get so much money from? Both of them simply couldn''t believe their eyes! Beneath their indescribable emotions, Lin Yi opened the safe and ced the diamond ne, the size of a chicken egg, around Han Xuewei''s neck, and it must be said, it looked incredibly exquisite! It also suited her perfectly! Han Xuewei watched in shock as Lin Yi put a ne worth hundreds of millions around her neck, and she couldn''t react for a long time. She instinctively stepped back and said, "This... This is too expensive! I can''t ept it!" But she couldn''t escape, as Lin Yi grabbed her firmly, "This is a surprise your husband is giving you, you can''t refuse! No matter what, you have to wear it!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei became even more anxious and said, "But you''ve already given me a gift, the vi you gave me earlier was enough! And we''ve just bought clothes worth more than 300,000, I can''t ept such an expensive gift again!" Lin Yi, however, shook his head seriously and said, "We are husband and wife, mine is yours, and giving you gifts is verymon! You don''t have to be polite at all, it''s what a husband should do, it''s my duty." Hearing these words, Han Xuewei of course felt overwhelmed with favor. She knew that all the things Lin Yi had given her added up to a total value of more than ten billion! As the couple talked, everyone around them heard their conversation. Li Jinglei felt even more surprised upon hearing this. Lin Yi even gave Han Xuewei a vi? And at their feet were so many shopping bags from the mall, and now there was arge box of diamond jewelry! ...¡­ Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a regret medicine in this world, and right now Li Jinglei almost turned green with regret! If only she hadn''t broken up with Lin Yi back then, she would be Lin Yi''s wife today! Wouldn''t everything Han Xuewei was talking about be hers? But looking at Yang Fan beside her, the best he could probably do was buy her something worth tens of thousands of dors, right? Li Jinglei couldn''t help but recall all the love that Lin Yi had shown her before, all the pampering, all the concessions, and wished she could run to him right now and beg for his forgiveness! But at this moment, she had to suppress her emotions, because what was missed was missed, and she couldn''t lose Yang Fan no matter what! Although this fish wasn''t big, it was still a fish after all! So Li Jinglei had to bow her head. At that moment, Yang Fan,pletely embarrassed by Lin Yi''s words, pointed at him angrily, "Lin Yi, don''t you get too pleased with yourself! Just you wait!" After saying this, he took Li Jinglei and left. Li Jinglei''s heart was bursting with frustration at the moment, a belly full of grievances with no one to confide in! She had agreed with her boyfriend to buy a diamond ring for herself, but unexpectedly at this ce she came across her ex-boyfriend and his wife, who unted their rtionship in such a way that left them both dumbfounded. In the end, not only was she angry, but the diamond ring her boyfriend had promised to buy didn''t materialize. Manager Guo saw the two young people storm out angrily and rolled his eyes at them without sympathy. Han Xuewei gazed at the dazzling diamond on her chest; her eyes almost dazzled, and she found it incredibly beautiful, "Thank you for the surprise, husband, I love it." Lin Yi didn''t pay any mind to the two who scurried out the door; he just smiled and said, "That''s my good wife!" Han Xuewei turned around, gazed out the door, and whispered to Lin Yi, "Have they left?" Lin Yi gently kissed Han Xuewei''s forehead and replied, "They''ve gone far." Han Xuewei let out a long sigh of relief and then said, "I didn''t expect to encounter your ex-girlfriend here, it felt pretty awkward at the moment." Lin Yi was very calm, smiling, he said, "Let what''s past pass! It was hard to move on right after the breakup, but since then, you and I came together, and now we have three adorable babies. There''s nothing more important than this in my heart. And besides, I know very well what kind of person Li Jinglei is, and I''m sure you see it very clearly too. So, there''s no need to feel awkward; I''ve moved on a long time ago. Now, you just need to remember, the person I deeply love is you, and only you." Han Xuewei was deeply moved by Lin Yi''s earnest confession and threw herself into his arms, her heart fluttering like a jumpy little deer! The night she and Lin Yi were intimate coincided with the day Lin Yi and Li Jinglei broke up, so Han Xuewei worried that Lin Yi might be unable to let go of his ex-girlfriend or still harbor a secret crush on her. But today, seeing Lin Yi face his ex-girlfriend Li Jinglei so frankly in front of her, she believed this was proof enough of Lin Yi''s feelings! And most of all, this was the oue Han Xuewei had hoped for! As for Li Jinglei, she was convinced that Lin Yi couldn''t let go of her, at least that he still harbored feelings for her. In her eyes, his rtionship with Han Xuewei was just a quick substitute! Especially after hearing about the many gifts Lin Yi had given Han Xuewei, not to mention piles of clothes and even a vi and that diamond jewelry set, how could she not be envious? That was a diamond worth several hundred million! Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr How many people in the country could afford it? And all of this should have been hers! Lin Yi and Han Xuewei packed all the jewelry back into the safety box, covered it securely with clothes in the shopping bag, and then left the store. One must not sh one''s wealth, regardless of how rich they are, it''s important to stay low-key. After all, this was jewelry worth several hundred million! Manager Guo, with the entire staff, sent off the couple at the door. On the way out of the mall, Han Xuewei happily linked arms with Lin Yi, checked the time, and asked, "Husband, it''s gettingte, should we head back now? I wonder how the baby is doing." Lin Yi''s mind was filled with thoughts of the party invitation that the system had rewarded him with¡ªit seemed to be a charity g. Although he had never attended one, he understood the basics and knew that if he were to take Han Xuewei, they must don formal attire. Chapter 79: Chapter 77 Desperation Li Jingwen now found these two individuals particrly distasteful. Logically speaking, Lin Yi was just the man she had discarded. But why on earth was this guy dating the school beauty acknowledged by so many? She couldn''t understand it at all, so she was inexplicably angry! As the dispute between the two groups reached this point, Manager Guo beside them had figured it out too. It seemed that the girl who had just arrived was the ex-girlfriend of the buyer. At this moment, Manager Guo smiled at Li Jingwen and said, "Miss, may I ask if you two have any intention of making purchases in our store? If not, we hope you will leave promptly so as not to disturb our customers." Li Jingwen red fiercely at Manager Guo and demanded, "Who are you? What right do you have to ask us to leave? We are customers!" "I am the manager of this store, as well as the manager of True Love Diamonds headquarters. Right now, we have some very precious merchandise to deliver to Mr. Lin," Manager Guo said very seriously. "Very precious merchandise?" Upon hearing this, Li Jingwen felt a hint of surprise and looked around at the people present, then turned her gaze to a beautifully crafted safe box held by one of the staff members. "So, do you two intend to shop here, or do you have other ns?" Manager Guo said, looking at the security guards nearby and giving them a signal with his eyes. However, at this moment, Lin Yi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up, "Since we''re all old acquaintances, if they really don''t want to leave, then let them stay and watch. It might also be eye-opening for them." Upon hearing this, Manager Guo nodded very politely. Since the big buyer had spoken, they dared not object, so the two could stay. No sooner had Lin Yi finished speaking than the security guards stepped back, clearing arge area. Li Jingwen, who had been exposed to grand scenes before, said with a feigned smile, "Then let us witness what kind of purchase the great Mr. Lin has made to keep so many security guards on standby! Li Jingwen certainly did not believe that Lin Yi could afford to buy invaluable jewelry! The news that his family was on the verge of bankruptcy had spread almost throughout the school. Furthermore, the parents of some students who were in business with the Lin family had confirmed the truth of these rumors. Lin Yi ignored what she had said and simply told Manager Guo, "Let''s inspect the goods now. I''m in a hurry to get back and take care of the baby." As soon as he had spoken, everyone''s eyes eagerly turned toward the exquisite safe box! Lin Yi sat up straight, feeling a sense of anticipation. He too wanted to see what a few hundred million dors'' worth of diamonds looked like. Manager Guo solemnly put on a pair of white gloves, then opened the sophisticated safe box and took out a small, brown, silk-like round box. Manager Guo held the box up to Lin Yi and slowly opened the lid! In that instant, words could not describe the dazzling brilliance of the diamond ne inside the box! At the same time, the staff member who had handled the posh safe exined, "Mr. Lin, the diamond series you ordered is the most expensive from ourpany, and it was designed by the renowned designer, Miss Plenity." "This ne is rich inposition and also high-end, with each link of the chain made up of small diamonds. There are 1314 of these small diamonds, symbolizing eternal devotion. The diamonds are all round and identical, exuding prestigious elegance when worn. The craftsmanship and design are wless, guaranteeingfortable wear. The centerpiece pink diamond in the heart shape, adorned by purple diamonds, is particrly captivating." "The total price for this ne is 270 million, making it the most expensive piece in ourpany." Upon hearing this, Li Jingwen, Yang Fan, and even Han Xuewei all instantly widened their eyes in shock! That expensive?? This was merely a ne to wear around the neck, and it was so pricey! 270 million? Everyone present was likely seeing the most expensive piece of jewelry they would every eyes on in their entire lives! Just as everyone was still dazed, Manager Guo put the ne back and took out another exceedingly pretty small box. He then brought it in front of Lin Yi and slowly opened it. "This ring is another highlight of the series, with the main diamond on the ring the same as that on the ne, arge pink diamond. The total value of this ring is 190 million. It would be hard to find another with the same price tag anywhere in the world," he exined. Having finished showing the ring, Manager Guo proceeded to disy earrings from the series, as well as bracelets and so on. He went into great detail about the series'' craftsmanship and purity. In the end, he added, "Mr. Lin, your customized True Love baby series of diamonds are all here, worth a total of 890 million. If you confirm the receipt, please sign here." Enjoy reading at m v-le-mp-yr Manager Guo then packed everything neatly back into the elegant safe box and also handed over an acknowledgment form. At this scene, Li Jinglei was stunned into stillness. Initially, she had spected whether the jewelry store manager was putting on an act to deceive her. But this thought quickly dissipated. These people were sharper than monkeys; who would waste their time putting on a y here? A multitude of chaotic thoughts surged through Li Jinglei''s mind, leaving her feeling a mix of emotions. She couldn''tprehend where Lin Yi got so much from, let alone using it to buy diamonds! After finishing these procedures, Manager Guo turned his gaze to Li Jinglei and Yang Fan sitting aside. He wondered what was wrong with these two young people who hade into the store and mockingly criticized a buyer with a super VIP card, even iming they were bankrupt! Bankrupt? Who would have so much money if they were bankrupt? The pink diamonds and purple diamonds used in this series of diamonds were extremely rare and valuable on a global scale! A rough estimate suggested that unless a person had a worth reaching several billion, it would be entirely out of the question for them to purchase such precious diamonds. At this moment, Manager Guo looked at Li Jinglei and Yang Fan with disdain. Even though they were customers of the jewelry store, if they were at odds with Lin Yi and his group, he would certainly side with the most prestigious customers! Even if these two people, who had been squabbling from the moment they entered, now suddenly bought a ten-carat ring, it would still be a drop in the bucketpared to Lin Yi''s True Love baby series. Even ten caratsbined would notpare to the smallest diamond in the series Lin Yi had purchased. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 80 : 80 Swipe the Card! Lin Yi then thought there was no need to inquire about the price, as since they hade to such a high-end shopping center, if they liked something, they just had to buy it. If there were any discounts, the sales staff would ount for it, but if not, no amount of haggling would bring the price down, and even if it were to be cheaper, it wouldn''t be by much. After selecting a gown for his wife, Lin Yi casually picked out an outfit for himself and looked at the brand¡ªit was a Pierre Cardin suit. Han Xuewei also picked out a nice tie for her husband and then bought a pair of quite beautiful high heels. This store trulycked for nothing, even offering undergarments appropriate fordies'' gowns. Guided by the store manager, Han Xuewei entered the fitting room and emerged momentster, walking out elegantly in a white dress. The gown really was figure-hugging! Even without makeup, Han Xuewei looked stunning in it, after all, she was the unanimously acknowledged beauty of the whole school! It seemed all outfits were made for her! Perhaps because she had been breastfeeding their baby recently, her chest was noticeablyrger than before, and her fair skin, along with a slightly plump face,plemented the peacock-edged gown beautifully! Such a figure was surely too elegant to be described by the word ''elegant'' alone? With curves both front and back, not to mention her long legs, she would definitely turn heads walking down the street! Even Lin Yi found his eyes gleaming when he saw her long legs at that moment! The owner of the dress shop, as well as the other salespeople, were also dazzled by Han Xue''s transformation in the outfit! Very few could carry off this dress without makeup¡ª even celebrities and inte icons who visited wouldn''t dare to try it without makeup. Taking small steps, Han Xuewei approached Lin Yi and asked with a smile, "What do you think? How does it look?" Lin Yi, already entranced, unconsciously swallowed and said outright, "It''s beautiful! My wife is truly exceptional!" Han Xuewei was, of course, overjoyed at thepliment. Lin Yi continued with augh, "It''s a good thing this gown isn''t too revealing, it covers just enough. Otherwise, I wouldn''t want to buy it! I can''t stand the idea of others ogling my wife!" As Han Xuewei showed off the gown to Lin Yi, the store manager said, "Mr. Lin, if your wife needs makeup services, we provideplimentary makeup here to perfect your experience." However, after hearing this, Han Xuewei shook her head repeatedly, "There''s no need for makeup; we''re in a hurry to get back home." Lin Yi also nodded and said, "Then we''ll do as my wife says. We won''t try the makeup." Seeing his wife so satisfied with the dress, Lin Yi let her go change out of it in the fitting room and asked the staff to hang it up. Han Xuewei also never expected the gown to fit so perfectly; it was as if it had been tailor-made for her! Of course, the most surprised was the store manager. Many customers had tried on this gown before, and it either ended up a bit too small or toorge around the chest, failing to fill it out. Even if they liked it, they had to get it custom-made, but she never expected, when Han Xuewei tried it on... it fit so perfectly! Anyone who could carry off this gown must possess a devilishly good figure! She had even thought of getting Han Xuewei to touch up her makeup and then inviting her to take a photo for Later Stages advertising, but knowing that the couple was in a hurry to return home, she had to let go of the thought. Having worked there for so long, she knew that it was rare to see a couple both wealthy and good-looking¡ªMrs. Lin was quite the catch. As everyone knew, some exceedingly wealthy men weren''t that handsome, and it''s only their partners that were generally more attractive¡ª and these partners might not even be their first spouses. Such situations weremonce in society, and those involved in the luxury industry had long gotten used to it. The store manager carefully packaged the clothes herself, and when Lin Yi went to the checkout, he realized the gown was indeed pricey, valued at 550,000, his suit was worth 220,000. Adding Han Xuewei''s high heels, handbag, and his own tie, the total came to 930,000. In such a high-end shopping environment, there is no room for bargaining. The shop also operates a membership system with discounts if avable, and otherwise, a fixed price. As Lin Yi and Han Xuewei were about to leave, the store manager handed him a VIP card saying, "Mr. Lin, you''ve reached the spending threshold and have be a member of our store, which gives you ess to certain services." "We offer a range of services, such as if you can''t make it to an evening event in time, you can call and tell us your location, and a business car will take you to the event, providing a gown and makeup services on the car." "If you happen to soil your gown at the event, our business car will also arrive promptly and assist you ordingly. Rest assured, our services will definitely satisfy you." At the same time, the store manager handed Lin Yi a business card, and he graciously epted it, nodding his head and saying, "Thank you." "Well, it''s not convenient to carry the gown home, so I''ll leave it here for now. Please help me clean it. I''ll notify you in advance on the day of the evening party, and then you can deliver it; would that be alright?" "All these are possible, you just need to notify us five hours before the event, and we will deliver it to the specified location." Lin Yi said, "Then I''ll leave the time and ce now. It''s at the end of this month, on the 30th at 8 pm. I''ll also experience your services then. Please arrange a good makeup artist, price is no issue." "Mr. Lin, you can experience our top-tier services, with all the necessary equipment and personnel fully prepared. However, the team''s travel expenses are high, at 100,000 per trip. Do you need it?" Lin Yi nodded, "Book it then. When do I pay?" "You can pay half the deposit now, and the rest after the event. If there''s any problem with our service, we willpensate you double," the store manager exined. Lin Yi, very calmly took out his bank card and swiped it again. To Han Xuewei, these services seemed perfectly normal; after all, she had already acquired diamonds worth hundreds of millions, and such necessary expenses for important asions were reasonable. She also realized that being with Lin Yi meant she had to gradually get used to such high expenses, especially since she had already epted ten million from him as her spending money! That was just pocket money! Considering her usual spending at school, how long would it take for her to spend it all? Chapter 81 : 81: Envy Her usual expenses weren''t high, aside from some essential items that she would choose to buy at a higher price, her regr consumption was minimal, limited to the asional outing for fun. Han Xuewei hade to understand that when Lin Yi shopped for expensive items, it was to ensure quality. Besides, the circles they were to move inter would be different, and having normal high-quality items was essential. As for everyday expenses, it was possible to save a bit. As soon as Lin Yi swiped his card, a system prompt echoed in his mind. "Ding! Congrattions to the host, for sessfully purchasing a gown for your wife. You have been rewarded with a new skill¡ªThe Art of Discernment. This skill can be utilized over a short period and cannot be used persistently or activated at will." Lin Yi was startled by the system''s prompt. Usually, the rewards he received were either money or items. A skill like this was indeed rare. He couldn''t help but wonder if there woulde a day when he wouldplete all the tasks? And what kind of conspiracyy hidden behind it all? Why would it reward him with a ticket to a charity g for no reason, rather than to other events? Could it be guiding him towards achieving a certain goal? Lin Yi''s brain worked overtime, but even after considerable thought, he couldn''t figure it out. Without any evidence, he had no choice but to let it go. At that moment, Han Xuewei suddenly said to Lin Yi, "Husband, it''s gettingte. Let''s head back for now; we''ve bought plenty today." Then, she whispered in Lin Yi''s ear, "We''ve been out for quite a while now, and I''m starting to feel my milke in. I need to be home by ten..." As Han Xuewei spoke, she adjusted her clothes, her cheeks flushing with color. Seeing the shy look on his wife''s face, Lin Yi hurried her along more quickly, "Then let''s get back as fast as we can, just hang in there a little longer." At this very moment, Li Jingwen and Han Xue had picked out arge diamond ring at a jewelry store and spent several tens of thousands on it. With a coquettish tone, Li Jingwenined to Yang Fan, "Those two left already, right? Geez, it''s just our bad luck. Everywhere we go, they''re there. Why did they have to go to the gown shop as well?" Yang Fan shook his head, "Let''s hurry back to that store; we haven''t finished choosing clothes yet. I didn''t expect such bad luck. With all this time past, they should have left by now." Li Jingwen said with a hint of disdain, "Yes, we can''t let it dy our selection of gowns for the charity g! I wonder what kind of people will gather at the On charity g. Just thinking about it makes me excited!" Having said that, they left the jewelry store with their gift boxes and headed towards the Gezi gown shop. No sooner had they entered than they heard several sales assistants nearby gossiping, "They look so young, I didn''t expect them to be married already. They do seem well-matched!" "Yeah, especially Mr. Lin¡ªhe''s like the ideal man in my heart! He totally has the look of a domineering CEO! Do wealthy people spoil their wives this willfully?" "Exactly! Especially when he took out a card and told us to charge it, spending so much without a credit card. It''s quite unusual indeed." "Is there a need to admire him so much? Just because someone is a high spender, you find him handsome?" "Not at all, he bought himself a suit and a tie that totaled up to just over 200 thousand, but he spent over 700 thousand when buying something for his wife! That''s spoiling his wife! I''m so envious, and what''s more, the gowns they bought were specially for the g, costing over 900 thousand. Who wouldn''t be surprised!" "What kind of g is it anyway? Is it that important? Just gowns cost so much money, and there has been quite a few peopleing to buy gownstely!" "I heard it has something to do with charity, tch, what does that kind of soir¨¦e have to do with us? Let''s not talk about this anymore. You need to take good care of this gown and not ruin the peacock pattern when you tidy it up¡ªdamaging it could cost us hundreds of thousands, enough to cover a lifetime ofpensation!" Experience more magic at m v l e mpyr "Oh, I know already!" The sales associates chatted while they neatly arranged the gown Han Xuewei had chosen and hung it back up. They would have to take the gown for cleaningter, and then it could be stored away until the end of the month when it would be handed over to Han Xuewei. Upon hearing this, Li Jingwen immediately understood which Mr. Lin these clerks were discussing. She also saw several people attending to a very exquisite white gown. Her expression changed in an instant! It was filled with envy, mixed with jealousy¡ªan emotionpletely impossible to conceal. How could she not regret? She simply couldn''t fathom who had spread such baseless rumors in school, iming that Lin Yi''s family had gone bankrupt! Wasn''t that just nonsense? That rumor had single-handedly ruined her chance at a high-quality life! It had thoroughly caused her to miss out on a big catch!! Li Jingwen couldn''t help but shift her gaze to Yang Fan beside her. His family''spany was actually on par with Lin Yi''s in terms of strength, but Yang Fan wasn''t the only son¡ªhe was merely a junior! The Yang family''s eldest son had always been the favored child, and had even started to take over somepany affairs, but Yang Fan never involved himself with the family business, caring for nothing other than spending money as if he had no interest in anything else. But Lin Yi was different! He was bound to inherit his family''spany eventually, and as a second-generation rich kid, Lin Yi wasn''t fickle in love, nor did he act like Sea King, leaving a trail of romance everywhere. Instead, he had big ideas for work and was very capable. It''s true what they say,parison is the thief of joy! Li Jingwen felt her past decision was too hasty and her choice too rushed, filled with regret. But once a choice is made, it can''t be changed! Having made the decision, one must face the consequences thate with it! Li Jingwen had also clearly heard the staff''s discussion¡ªLin Yi seemed to be attending a charity g as well! Could it also be the On charity g? If someone''s worth isn''t at least several billion, they wouldn''t even get an invitation to this charity event. Could it be that Lin Yi''s familypany... haspletely risen now? But she had confirmed after inquiring through various sources that Lin Yi''s familypany was valued at only two or three billion! What''s going on here? Could it be that all the information she had gathered was incorrect? Besides, Yang Fan had personally told her that his dad said Lin Yi''spany was only worth so much money, with no chance of aeback! So what exactly is the situation now? What has happened with Lin Yi''s family? Moreover, she had witnessed it with her own eyes today¡ªLin Yi had bought several billion worth of diamonds for Han Xuewei in one go! She had seen these billions in diamonds with her own eyes; there was no way it could be fake! Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Li Jingwens Thoughts Li Jingwen admitted that although her looks were indeed inferior to Han Xuewei''s, it could not be denied that she and Lin Yi had truly loved each other! Moreover, she had heard that Lin Yi got dead drunk on the day they broke up, which was enough to prove that Lin Yi couldn''t let go of her either! Just now, she had mockingly berated him, but Lin Yi remained silent from beginning to end, never uttering a single word of disdain. His feelings must beplicated! He couldn''t bear to do this! So no matter what, she was determined to take back everything she had lost, everything that belonged to her! Lin Yi would always belong to her! With that thought in mind, Li Jingwen couldn''t help but shift her gaze to Yang Fan, who was beside her, and suddenly, an idea sprang up in her heart! She had long been aware that Yang Fan had been pursuing Han Xuewei since their freshman year, but she had always dismissed him. If she were to lend a hand and help Yang Fan... huh. However, at this moment, Yang Fan was also preupied with his own thoughts. He cared a lot about the uing charity g, but the funds provided by his family were limited to 1.5 million yuan. For someone like him who was used to spending moneyvishly, that amount could be used for quite a good time of leisure! But ever since he had Li Jingwen as a girlfriend, his monthly expenses had risen significantly. Apart from buying her jewelry, selecting the right outfits and handbags ate into the 1.5 million, leaving almost half of it gone! Of course, Yang Fan was not pleased, but Li Jingwen was after all the most beautiful girl in the department, so he felt the money was well spent! It must be said that Li Jingwen''s attractiveness truly couldn''t match Han Xuewei''s; more importantly, their styles were worlds apart. While the former was exceptionally charming, thetter was pure and beautiful, naturally giving off a different vibe! Plus, Yang Fan could tell that Li Jingwen was definitely not the type to take care of a household after marriage; she spent money freely. If someone was willing to spend on her, she would depend on them, but if they were not, she would immediately turn around and leave, very shrewd indeed! So up until now, the money Yang Fan had spent on Li Jingwen was at least over a million! What had allowed him to win Li Jingwen over was using money to dazzle her¡ªbold and aggressive! Which girl could withstand such a temptation? After overhearing the conversation between a few staff members, Yang Fan also learned that Lin Yi would be taking Han Xuewei to the charity g. He was quite puzzled over how Lin Yi managed to get an invitation, but he didn''t overthink it. Most entrepreneurs have a backup n. Some seem on the brink of bankruptcy, yet they have long since transferred their assets, with the ensuing events having no impact on them! While being assisted by the sales staff in selecting gowns, both were preupied with their own schemes. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had already brought Han Xuewei back to his home. The moment they entered the house, they heard the baby crying from the second floor. The loudest cries came from his eldest son. Han Xuewei didn''t even have time to change her clothes before running to the nursery to pick up the baby. She needed to feed the children quickly because she was already experiencing breast engorgement. Seeing his wife''s hurried figure, Lin Yi''s eyes filled with tenderness and affection. He began to organize the storage for baby form and diapers, and even brought several packs of diapers into the nursery. Coming and going, he saw Han Xuewei breastfeeding the baby, but the two didn''t exchange nces¡ªthey had be ustomed to this way of life and no longer felt the embarrassment or shyness of the past. Lin Yi, watching Han Xuewei carefully breastfeeding the baby, whispered, "Wife, I was thinking after we picked up the diamond, we''d go to the beauty salon too! Ask about postpartum recovery and see which beauty salon is better. But I didn''t expect to get so busy all of a sudden." Han Xuewei whispered back, "It''s okay, there will be other chances. I don''t mind a day or two. Actually, I really want to do postpartum recovery, but I never looked into it before. You don''t know, when I was trying on that white dress in the mall, I was holding in my stomach the whole time. It was really ufortable! You haven''t seen how much flesh I''ve got on my stomach now!" Han Xuewei was very dissatisfied with her current body shape and took every opportunity toin about it. Her weight was hard to reduce after giving birth, and she felt somewhat unustomed for a while. To think that in the past, if she had gained dozens of pounds, it was because she was carrying three babies! But now that the three babies were born, why wasn''t the flesh on her body dropping? It seemed like every part of her body had gained a bit of flesh! For many years, Han Xuewei had been strictly controlling her figure, her body almost had no extra flesh at all! And if she ever found any, she would immediately lose it within a week! Seeing several rolls of flesh on her stomach, she reminded herself that she must find a way to lose them! Otherwise, how could she attend the charity g like this? She couldn''t hold it in all night, could she? That would be too unnatural! The charity g was at the end of this month, so she still had ten days! If she could go to the beauty salon with Lin Yi tomorrow to ask about postpartum recovery, she could start as soon as tomorrow, and surely there would be results in ten days? When attending the charity g, she wouldn''t have to keep holding in her stomach! It must be said, Han Xuewei was very worried about her figure. But Lin Yi didn''t see it that way, he thought Han Xuewei''s slightly plump figure was perfect! Was this the legendary "chubby goddess"? So full of tactile pleasure, isn''t it!! So heughed andforted Han Xuewei, "Hahaha, but your husband really likes it." Thetter shrugged helplessly, "If it''s only you who sees me every day, then I wouldn''t mind. But you''re taking me to a charity g, and there must be a lot of people attending, right? Everyone else''s wives are slim and graceful, but with all this flesh on my stomach, won''t I make you lose face?" Lin Yi responded nonchntly, "Tsk, I don''t care about face, and I won''t mind what others say. After all, it''s just you and me who will be together for life, no one else. If your husband says he likes it, then he really likes it!" Han Xuewei shook her head seriously, "That won''t do, tomorrow you have to take me to ask about postpartum recovery. When we were shopping in the mallst night, I saw a beauty salon not far from the jewelry store. I just checked on my phone, and it''s a chain store with good reviews online, and the service is good too. Let''s check it out tomorrow! They can definitely do postpartum recovery there." Seeing his wife so concerned about her figure, Lin Yi could only nod, "Then I''ll listen to you. We''ll check it out tomorrow." Han Xuewei finished breastfeeding Da Bao and then picked up her younger brother, agreeing with a muttered, "Mm." Chapter 83 Please Hire Two Nannies Lin Yi then prepared to take a bath, before resting. After a little more than an hour, the couple had finished tidying up, changed into their pajamas,y down together, and prepared to sleep. Experience more tales at m vl-em|p-yr Lin Yi suddenly asked Han Xuewei, "Vivi, I''ve noticed that Aunt Wang is often very busy. Should we consider hiring another nanny? Sometimes she really can''t manage it all by herself." "If one day both our mothers are very busy and have no time to help us, you and Aunt Wang might not cope. Although sometimes I''m here, something unexpected like a business trip coulde up." "And I''ve thought it over, it would be best to hire two nannies." Han Xuewei also gave it some thought and then said, "I also think we should hire two. You can ask the two maternity matrons who took care of me during my postnatal period if they can take on the nanny role. They were skilled in taking care of the baby, and they''ve worked with us before; their work capability is quite impressive." Lin Yi nodded, "Then I''ll ask them tomorrow. You''ve reminded me¡ªI also think those two maternity matrons would be totally up for it. If we offer them a higher sry, I''m sure they won''t refuse. Aunt Wang could train the twodies, and they''ll be able to handle the work in no time!" Han Xuewei nodded her head in agreement as well. Lin Yi said, "Then that''s settled. After lunch tomorrow, I''ll apany you to the mall! We don''t need to get up so early in the morning; we might as well sleep in a bit." "Mhm." With that, the two of them embraced and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Lin Yi got up at around half-past nine. Han Xuewei had woken up much earlier because she had to feed the baby; during this time, Lin Yi had not noticed at all. After all, he had been exhausted these days, almost reaching the ''Realm'' where he could fall asleep the moment hey down. Fortunately, all the pressing matters had been tended to. His only n was to take Han Xuewei for her postnatal rehabilitation, and coincidentally, two days before they were due to attend the charity g, they could go for the postpartum check-up at the hospital; then they wouldn''t have to worry about traveling. Days passed by, with everything going smoothly. This was the life Lin Yi yearned for¡ªsimple yet filled with a deep sense of happiness. After feeding the baby, Han Xuewei came back to bed to catch up on sleep. When Lin Yi got up, she was still asleep. He didn''t wake her, tiptoed downstairs alone, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and made himself a simple breakfast. Checking the time, he estimated that Xue Mei would wake up after ten and would have to have lunch instead. Thinking this, Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare avish lunch for the family. The two maternity matrons they had hired before had been gone for a while now, so these days, the baby had been looked after by Mother Lin and Aunt Wang. Toiling day and night was not a solution. So the pressing matter was to hire two more nannies. If the previous maternity matrons could return to take on this role, that would be ideal. As he was offering a fairly high sry, which was about twenty percent more than their peers, the two maternity matrons dly epted the job as nannies, although they each had some other matters to attend to and needed a few more days before they could start. With all conditions agreed upon, although they were nannies in name, their work would be no different from before, still helping to take care of the children. So, considering this, with Aunt Wang and the two former maternity matrons looking after the children, even if everyone else was busy at times, they should be able to manage. Lin Yi''s greatest hope now was to prevent Han Xuewei and the two mothers from feeling too tired from taking care of the baby day and night. After deciding on this matter, he got busy with preparing lunch. After cooking meals for the whole family, he made a separate nutritional meal for Han Xuewei. Just when he was about to bring the bowl to her room, Han Xuewei came downstairs at that moment. It was almost noon, and she must have been very hungry. Moreover, she had eaten something in the morning while feeding the baby before going back to sleep. Last night, the three little ones slept soundly and didn''t wake up crying, which was already quite good. Han Xuewei greeted Lin Yi with a smile, "Good morning, husband." Lin Yi, "It''s already noon now, has mom woken up yet?" Aunt Wang had been helping Lin Yi with cooking since early in the morning and said at this point, "Then I''ll go upstairs to call Sister Fang. She has been staying upte these past few days to deal with your father''spany matters, and she also got up early in the morning to change the baby''s diapers before going back to bed." After hearing this, Lin Yi also realized how right it was to hire two nannies to help! As the family sat down for lunch together, Lin Yi mentioned to everyone that he had hired the two maternity matrons toe back and help. With more people to take care of the baby, everyone could rx a bit more, and they could even make a clear division ofbor, like who would be responsible for night watch, who for changing diapers and feeding, or who would help with cooking and taking out the trash. Mother Lin and Wang Yi naturally had no objections and were even very pleased with Lin Yi''s thoughtfulness. Ever since the two maternity matrons left, they also felt taking care of the baby every day was exhausting and very busy, sometimes not even getting enough sleep. But now, if they could really have two more people to help, they would surely be much more rxed. After everyone had had lunch, Han Xuewei fed the babies and then followed Lin Yi to Qianda Shopping Mall again. As soon as they entered, Han Xuewei immediately pulled Lin Yi to the beauty store she had seen the day before. She had asked her good friend Qin Xiaoxu about it yesterday, and after asking, she learned that her friend had also been to that beauty salon, and it had a pretty good reputation. The two of them walked in, and the receptionist at the front desk quickly came forward to greet the customers when she saw them. "Good afternoon, what can I do for you two?" As soon as Han Xuewei entered, she was looking around and said with a hint of shyness when she heard the receptionist''s question, "Um, I would like to inquire about postpartum recovery." Han Xuewei was now the mother of three babies, but she was not quite able to immerse herself in this identity, especially when mentioning to others that she was a mother. The receptionist at the beauty store, seeing this young couple, smiled and said, "You''d like to know about postpartum recovery, right? Our store''s recovery program is very well regarded in the industry. Please wait in the resting area for a moment while I get the relevant materials." Han Xuewei nodded and pulled Lin Yi to sit down at the side. Lin Yi apanied her in silence, not saying a word. Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Going to the Beauty Salon After all, as a man, he didn''t understand these matters, so he let Han Xuewei decide for herself! His role was to pay the bill for his wife. After sitting and having tea for a while, the receptionist from earlier came over and brought a thick brochure. "Thisdy is so pretty, the one apanying you is your husband, right?" the receptionist asked with a smile. Han Xuewei nodded shyly and said, "Yes, this is my husband. His surname is Lin. You can just call me Mrs. Lin." The reason for her shyness was that she had not yet spoken about her marital status with Lin Yi in public before. "Mrs. Lin, you''re really fortunate, it''s notmon to see husbandsing along to learn about postpartum recovery with their wives. I think your husband must love you a lot!" said the receptionist, who also greeted Lin Yi with a smile. After hearing this, Lin Yi responded with a light smile, indeed he loved Han Xuewei very much and wanted her to feel happy! Han Xuewei''s face turned slightly red, and with a smile beaming on her face, she replied, "Yes, my husband really loves me and spoils me a lot." "Then may I ask Mrs. Lin, how long has it been since you gave birth?" Han Xuewei replied, "In six more days I have to go to the hospital for a check-up, it''s been 36 days." Han Xuewei thought for a moment and answered without hesitation. "Then this timing is just right; it''s perfect to start postpartum recovery," the receptionist suddenly asked, "Have you been cleansed properly after giving birth?" "I was clean quite soon after giving birth," Han Xuewei answered, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Lin Yi. "You can start by looking at our brochure; it contains all the information rted to postpartum recovery. Actually, postpartum recovery can also be done at hospitals, but it''s impossible to get in the queue in the short term, it requires an appointment well in advance. Byparison, our service is more convenient; you can even make a reservation on the same day. We have specialists who will provide services directly to you." The receptionist spoke with patience, "Although we''re just a beauty salon, we coborate with many hospitals in Xiangcheng; our professionals have passed the assessment of hospitals, some are guided by doctors themselves, and our equipment is the same as that of hospitals, some of our treatments are even more effective than those in the hospitals." "Since you''ve chosen us, please rest assured, our service will definitely be veryprehensive and satisfying." "You can start by looking at our brochure which has detailed introductions." Han Xuewei and Lin Yi picked up the brochure and began to flip through it page by page. Certain eye-catching words in the brochure made Han Xuewei blush. Isn''t this content a bit too direct? After all, it''s about postpartum recovery, focusing on the private parts of a woman, hence the brochure was all about that. The receptionist naturally was not aware of Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s situation, and regarded them as amon couple, so was a bit more straightforward during the reception. "May I ask how much your baby weighs?" the receptionist asked with a smile. When Han Xuewei heard this, she couldn''t help but feel puzzled, "My baby''s weight? Does it even matter with this?" "A lot actually. If the baby''s weight is on the heavier side, it can cause a certain degree of damage to the mother''s rectus abdominis during childbirth, simr to the principle of muscle strain," exined the receptionist. Han Xuewei suddenly understood and asked, "Well, they are really triplets, and when the time came, two of the babies weighed four pounds each, and one was five pounds." The receptionist''s eyes were filled with astonishment after hearing this! "Ah? You gave birth to three babies at once?? And each one''s weight is on therger side, it''s hard to imagine how big your belly was!" "Your pregnancy must have been tougher than that of other mothers!" the receptionist eximed in astonishment. Han Xuewei nodded and said, "Yes, especially thest three months. It was really unbearable. And after giving birth to the three babies, I could feel that my stomach was a bit¡­ ufortable. Maybe my body hasn''t recovered yet. Apart from feeling lots of b, I also feel... the skin is particrly loose." Han Xuewei didn''t really want to be so explicit, but since Lin Yi had already helped to clean her wound, he had seen everything, and now that they were here for recovery, there was nothing to hide. After listening, the receptionist nodded earnestly and said, "This situation is inevitable for you, not only were the babies quiterge, but there were also three of them. It''s very hard for the belly stretched out that much to quickly return to normal, so what you need to repair most is your rectus abdominis. The b on your belly is not necessarily excess fat; it''s very likely affecting your internal organs." "Actually, the rectus abdominis can protect the belly, but since you gave birth to three babies at once, the degree of damage would certainly be much greater." The receptionist patiently exined to Han Xuewei and Lin Yi, and Lin Yi also found the exnation very reasonable. He had read about these things in books, so he was eager to take Han Xuewei for postpartum recovery. Han Xuewei cared a lot about her figure and, as he loved her, he wanted to help her. The receptionist continued, "So for you right now, the most important thing is the recovery of the rectus abdominis, then to tighten up down there a bit more, which will make your private life experience better. However, this repair might be slightly more challenging as it involves the pelvis." "Although your three babies were delivered by cesarean section, it definitely had a huge impact on your private life. Once a baby is born, it affects the whole body and creates major changes. But ording to your situation, your pelvis and areas below are probably in better shape than for women who''ve had natural childbirth." The receptionist didn''t avoid Lin Yi''s presence and was very clear about everything she mentioned. However, when Han Xuewei heard words like private life experience and tighter down there, she became extremely flushed! But upon hearing this, Lin Yi remained very calm and simply asked, "Can I make an appointment now? If possible, I''ll pay right away." The receptionist replied with a smile, "You can make an appointment! And you can get started in half an hour, can you wait, sir?" Lin Yi replied, "Yes, that''s fine. Do you also have other better skincare treatments? If so, let''s make a membership card first." After hearing this, the receptionist was visibly overjoyed, "We have many skincare treatments; sir, take a look at this." She brought over an evenrger brochure and began to introduce Lin Yi, "This is our most popr skincare treatment, and we are continually improving it. You could take a look." Chapter 85 Handling the Supreme VIP "Mm." Lin Yi took over the brochure and flipped through it with Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei whispered in his ear, "You are so good to me, husband." Lin Yi wrapped his arm around her andughed, "Silly girl, isn''t this what I''m supposed to do? It''s my duty, and I know you care about your figure, so I want to take you for the best and mostprehensive care." Han Xuewei nodded happily. The receptionist had been quietly waiting by their side the whole time, and watching this scene unfold, she couldn''t help but feel so envious! The other one or two employees also stared straight over, their eyes fixed on them. Why can''t I meet such a good man? Is this what other people''s love is like? Lin Yi flipped through the brochure back and forth and went straight to thest page, looking at the most expensive package, he slowly said, "This one seems moreprehensive, let''s go with this one." After pondering for a while, he asked, "Does your store provide home service?" The receptionist was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly replied, "We can provide home service, but... it requires a VIP membership, the Supreme VIP." "How do I apply for this Supreme VIP?" Lin Yi asked without hesitation. "Sir, to be a Supreme VIP, you must first make a one-time top-up of three hundred thousand. If your wife wants to do any treatmentster, she can deduct the cost by signing on the card. If you need home service, you can only get the regr skincare treatments. Other major repair projects requirerge equipment, so they are not convenient for home visits." As Lin Yi listened, he flipped through the brochure back and forth, did some quick calctions, and then said directly, "Understood, I''ll top up six hundred thousand first. For the postnatal recovery program, I want the highest level one. We''ll see how the recovery goes after a while. For other skincare treatments, pick a few of the best and let''s try each one out." The receptionist was so excited upon hearing this that she nearly jumped on the spot! A top-up of six hundred thousand!!! She had worked at this store as a receptionist for so many years and had never seen such a straightforward customer! Absolutely extravagant! Even the wealthiest clients would try topping up three hundred thousand first after seeing the prices, which was already the limit, and how many of those did you meet a year? Today, someone actually did a one-time top-up of six hundred thousand! And it was a gentleman doing it for his wife to get the Supreme VIP! This was almost an unheard-of situation! Who wouldn''t feel sour seeing this? Though the receptionist would get a nicemission from this transaction, at this moment, her feelings were not all that excited but more sour. Han Xuewei was also startled upon hearing this. She was truly impressed by Lin Yi''s generosity. Diamonds, cars, houses were all expensive and tangible. But care was different, especially postnatal care. Many husbands think it''s not a big deal, a merefort in their minds. Clearly, Lin Yi did not think so and took it very seriously, valuing her very much! It must be said, Han Xuewei was moved by his actions, she was close to bursting into tears. At this time, Lin Yi also noticed that Han Xuewei''s eyes were a bit reddish, so he held her more tightly andforted her on the spot. Check for new content on m-vl-em-pyr If there weren''t so many employees around, he probably would have pulled Han Xuewei into his arms right then and there. At this moment, the receptionist was busy setting up a special file for the couple, named the Supreme VIP card after Han Xuewei, and then brought over the tinum card. The receptionist asked with a smile, "Sir, the charge is six hundred thousand, may I know how you would like to pay..." Lin Yi took out a bank card directly, "Swiped this card." ...¡­ "Ka!" It was sessful! He paid with his bnce! At the moment the amount was deducted, the system''s voice in his mind rang as expected! "Ding! Congrattions to the host, for taking your wife for postnatal care, you receive the system reward of a building in Xiangcheng City. The building''s name is Wenqu Building, with a construction area of four thousand square meters, and a total area of fifteen thousand square meters." Upon hearing this prompt, Lin Yi''s eyes widened instantly! Wow!! This reward was really too strong, wasn''t it? It could absolutely be regarded as one of the most significant awards among the many he had received! Wenqu Building is definitely one of thergest buildings in Xiangcheng, he never expected that the building would change hands in an instant! He became the new owner! The system was really generous! This building is worth at least tens of billions now, right? And now it''s his?? At the same time, Lin Yi finally noticed a pattern regarding the system awards! As long as he did some practical things for Han Xuewei, there was a high probability ofpleting some special tasks. There was another possibility, which was indirectlypleting some tasks for the baby. Like right now, taking his wife for postnatal care after the babies were born from Han Xuewei''s belly, which was akin to fixing their cradles, thereforepleting a special task. Lin Yi kept guessing in his heart, and as he thought, heughed, "The pattern is essentially one of these two. It''s the arrival of the three babies that made me decide to be with Han Xuewei! That''s what led to the appearance of the system! Moreover, there''s always a connection between the baby and the mother. Doing something for one side is tantamount to doing it indirectly for the other. That''s why there''s a trigger for the reward! But recently the system seems to have upgraded, making the rewardsrger each time, how should that be exined?" Lin Yi couldn''t clear up this question, but instinctively believed that whenever hepleted a special task, the system would gain experience, and in time, it would upgrade! Yes! That''s the most likely exnation! The receptionist, seeing Lin Yi deep in thought and not receiving the Supreme VIP card, gave a big start, fearing that Lin Yi regretted his decision, so her hand holding the card trembled. After a moment, Lin Yi quickly came back to his senses, looked up and saw the receptionist looking somewhat panicked andughed as he took the card from her hand. The receptionist finally exhaled a sigh of relief, it was a false rm! She quickly said, "Mrs. Lin, everything is ready now, you can start right away, pleasee with us." "Mr. Lin, the waiting time might be a bit long, you can continue to have tea here, or go for a stroll in the mall. You cane to pick up Mrs. Lin after an hour." "Remember to do the skincare treatments," Lin Yi reminded. The receptionist said with a smile, "Yes, we will definitely not forget." Han Xuewei said to Lin Yi, "You can take a casual stroll in the mall. I''ll send you a WeChat message when I''m done here, and then we can get in touch." The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Lingerie Specialty Store Lin Yi nodded at her words, and before he left, he didn''t forget to give her a kiss, "Got it, I have plenty of ways to kill time, go ahead with your things!" After bidding farewell to Lin Yi with a smile, Han Xuewei walked into the room with the receptionist. Most clients at the beauty salon are women, though there is a small portion of male clients receiving treatments, privacy is ensured by separating them into different areas. Once Han Xuewei was led into the room, another receptionist hurriedly brought magazines for Lin Yi, filled his cup with tea, and also brought over arge fruit tter. All this was to help Lin Yi pass the lengthy hour easily, but he just thanked the receptionist and then left the beauty salon. He wanted to stroll around the mall and pick a nice bag for Han Xuewei. After all, she was his wife, and she should at least carry a beautiful bag for the charity evening event! How else could he uphold his own face? Otherwise, people might say he''s stingy and unwilling to spend money on his wife! Once you reach a certain social status, people judge whether you are sessful by the woman beside you. If you love your wife, then you''ll definitely be willing to spend money on her. Qianda Shopping Mall could be counted as one of the top malls in the city, boasting various luxury brands, Chanel, LV, Hermes... The women''s bag section should be on the Fourth Layer, Lin Yi checked the sign and then took the elevator up. Upon arriving at the Fourth Layer, he was met with a variety of big-name brands, some of which had their logos maximized to catch more attention¡ªit was a veritable garden of brands! To say the least, such a ce bursting with luxury goods is simply paradise to women! Many shops offer not just bags but also clothing, watches, and more. The moment he saw the watches, Lin Yi couldn''t help but feel tempted himself. He thought, he and Han Xuewei have never bought watches before, let alone the sort of prestigious, eye-catching ones. Since they hadn''t, why not buy one? After browsing the Fourth Layer, Lin Yi finally chose a shop he admired, Rolex! Surely, many people are familiar with this name! After all, its watches are very well-known globally! As soon as he stepped into the watch store, a salesperson greeted him with a standard smile and asked, "Hello, sir, wee to Hermes, is there a particr style you''re fond of?" While looking around, Lin Yi replied, "I''d like to have a look by myself first." The attentive salesperson exined, "The watches in this area you''re currently browsing are all sports models, the brown disy counter in front features business styles, and the ck disy counter on your left features casual styles. Feel free to browse, and if you wish to try any on, I can assist you." Lin Yi smiled impolitely and said, "Okay, I got it." The saleswoman thought Lin Yi was just casually looking and unlikely to purchase a watch, so she just gave a general introduction. Because many people whoe to buy watches have usually done their research beforehand and can specify exactly what they want. Lin Yi''s behavior was quitemon, as luxury stores like these don''t have customers every day. Lin Yi looked closely and pondered. After wandering the store for seven or eight minutes, he already had a watch in mind. However, he shouldn''t be hasty, it would be best toe back with Han Xuewei, let her pick one too, and concurrently help him make a choice; ideally, they could have matching watches for couples. Vivi would definitely be delighted! Haha! As Lin Yi thought about it, he couldn''t help butugh, then he leisurely strolled out, nning to browse some other ces. Just as he stepped out, he saw a lingerie store opposite him! Vickedelic! This brand, with a certain history, specializes in selling sexy lingerie for women, an English brand that maximally exhibits the nobility and maturity of modern women, much beloved by manydies! And it''s considered in the top five in the circle, the pricing isn''t particrly high, within reach for more than half of the female poption! But Lin Yi wasn''t concerned about the price at this moment, his gaze was deeply captivated by a piece of lingerie disyed outside! All at once, he seemed to have envisioned another scene, deep-rooted desires magnifying within him! However, lingering so long at the entrance of a lingerie store, he indeed felt somewhat embarrassed. Just when he decided to switch angles, a man walked directly into the shop. Lin Yi gulped, straightened his clothes, and then strode toward the Vickedelic store! Good heavens! It truly had everything one could imagine! You couldn''t think of anything they didn''t sell! The lingerie hanging inside was one prettier and more exquisite than the next! As a man, Lin Yi began to blush at the sight of these undergarments. A seven-foot-tall man in a lingerie store, and particrly one that specializes in women''s erotic lingerie! If it were anyone less bold, they wouldn''t even dare to enter the door! Although it was Lin Yi''s first visit here, he was already overwhelmingly excited! After choosing for about fifteen minutes, Lin Yi picked out the lingerie he''d set his eye on, quickly informed the clerk of the sizes, swiftly paid, and then walked out the door carrying several shopping bags! After such aimless wandering, forty minutes had passed. Lin Yi consolidated the items in the shopping bags into one, nning to show them to Han Xuewei in the evening and give them to her very formally. But he was still a bit anxious inside, what if Vivi didn''t wear them? The bags and watches he had picked out earlier would be best bought together with Han Xuewei, shopping together would be more meaningful. Moreover, before they had their baby, the couple frequented the mall, so some of the shop managers recognized them. Holding the shopping bag, Lin Yi felt a bit awkward for a moment, as if wanting to flee from somewhere, he quickly left the floor and hurried back to the beauty salon. However, Han Xuewei was still inside undergoing skincare treatments, with one small treatment left, so she wouldn''t be out for another twenty minutes. Upon Lin Yi''s entrance, the front desk greeted him with an immediate beaming smile. As soon as Lin Yi walked through the door of the beauty salon, he appeared much more serious, sitting down with great propriety. He stuffed the shopping bag behind him, then put on a calm expression, and with a slightly trembling hand, he slowly lifted the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, settling his excited mood. Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Rolex Couple Watches After a while, Han Xuewei returned to the lobby, led by a sales associate. "Husband!" Han Xuewei was extremely excited upon seeing Lin Yi. Lin Yi also stood up and approached. Han Xuewei had just finished her skincare treatment and her skin looked much whiter and tender than before, which made Lin Yi very satisfied. At that moment, Han Xuewei turned her gaze to the shopping bags in Lin Yi''s hands and asked, "Eh? Did you go shopping? What did you buy?" "Ah? I... it''s nothing, just bought a couple of clothes," Lin Yi answered, breaking into a cold sweat at her question. Right now, his biggest worry was that Han Xuewei might suddenly want to check the clothes in the bag! If that were the case, it would have been a disaster! Wouldn''t that be social death in public? Luckily, Han Xuewei simply responded with a light "Oh, did you buy them for yourself?" Not knowing how to answer, Lin Yi responded to the wrong question, "Just a few pieces of underwear, nothing serious." After hearing this, Han Xuewei instantly realized she had almost wanted to take a look. She hadn''t expected Lin Yi to have bought underwear! She quickly corrected herself, "Mm, I got it. Were you bored waiting outside? We can go home now, or do you still want to shop around?" Lin Yi said, "While you were inside for the treatment, I looked around on the Fourth Layer and took a liking to a Rolex watch. It looked pretty nice, and I really like it." Han Xuewei, ever considerate, said, "Then let''s go have a look now." If her husband truly liked it, she would definitely support him! Han Xuewei followed Lin Yi up to the Fourth Layer, heading straight for the Rolex store. The sales associate showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Lin Yi, especially since he was apanied by a woman. She hurried over to greet them, "Sir, Miss, hello to both of you." Han Xuewei replied politely: "Mm, hello." Lin Yi turned to Han Xuewei and said, "The watch I like is over there. It''s a couple''s watch, but I didn''t dare to make a decision for you, so I wanted to ask your opinion first. Let''s go take a look!" Lin Yi led Han Xuewei directly to a counter and, following the direction of his finger, she saw a set of couple''s watches. "This is the one I chose. What do you think? Does it look good?" Lin Yi asked earnestly, waiting for her response. Han Xuewei too was attracted by the dazzling array of watches inside the counter and began carefullyparing them. And the female sales associate was even more amazed! Because all the watches in that counter were automatic mechanical watches priced in the millions! If they were to buy the couple''s set as he mentioned, the price would shoot up to more than 2.6 million! The man''s watch was priced at 1,249,342 yuan, while the woman''s watch cost 1,367,925 yuan. The design of the couple''s watches was very simr, both with round dials and automatic movements, and interchangeable straps. Every detail was very eye-catching. The price of the woman''s watch was a bit higher than the man''s because there were a few small diamonds on the dial, making it more in tune with a woman''s temperament. Moreover, it''s worth mentioning that this couple''s watch was notunched very long ago. It''s a new model that has just entered the market, which can be considered a Valentine''s Day limited edition. Since it is a limited edition, the price is definitely going to be higher. Thus, throughout the entire Xiangcheng, not many people can afford this couple''s watch, and this counter hasn''t sold more than ten sets. It''spletely impossible to encounter the embarrassment of "watch-shing" with someone else. The salesperson smiled and said, "You two really have an eye for quality! This watch is a limited edition released by our brand for Valentine''s Day. If you like it, you can try it on, and both watches here are brand new, in unopened condition." "Because this watch is so popr, every couple who has tried it on has bought it," the salesperson confidently asserted. After all, several couples had tried on this watch on her rmendation and ended up liking it so much that they naturally bought it. If today Lin Yi were to make a purchase as well, her sales performance would break through five pairs! And it only took a brief observation of the two people''s expressions at that moment toe to a conclusion¡ªthey were very likely to make a purchase! Han Xuewei took a close look at the price tag and couldn''t help but be taken aback. She hadn''t expected the watch to be so expensive, costing over a million! But she also knew that if Lin Yi really liked it, he wouldn''t blink an eye before buying it straight away, so she wasn''t worried about the money. Han Xuewei was now just wondering if they had been spending a bit too much these days? Close to 900 million had been spent, and now they had their eyes on this couple''s watch. If they really were to buy it, it would cost another 2.6 million! If she hadn''t married Lin Yi and started a family, she might never have imagined herself wearing such an expensive watch! In the end, Han Xuewei was still somewhat moved. However, while she was distracted, Lin Yi asked the salesperson to let them try on the couple''s watch. Lin Yi himself put the watch on Han Xuewei. It had to be said, it was indeed beautiful! What''s more important was that it was a couple''s style, both of them wearing it looked quite nice. Han Xuewei couldn''t help but smile, and Lin Yi seeing this, directly asked, "What do you think? Looks good, right?" Han Xuewei nodded her head, "Yeah, it''s quite nice." It had to be said, her husband had great taste, and since he liked it, she definitely had no objections. Without any hesitation, Lin Yi told the salesperson, "We''ll take this one, please pack it for us." The salesperson, upon hearing this, was still in a daze, doubting her hearing, and so she asked again, "Ah? You''re saying you''ll take this watch?" Lin Yi: "Yeah, I''ll take this couple''s watch." At this time, Han Xuewei also watched the salesperson with a smile, without saying much. The salesperson, flustered and hurried, took out a very vintage packaging box, carefully ced the two watches inside, and then led Lin Yi to the checkout. Arriving at the cashier, the salesperson took out a calctor and a card reader. She said to them both, "Sir, Miss, I can now upgrade you to a diamond member for free, and you can enjoy an 8.8% discount on all purchases in our store. The total price for the couple''s watch you''re purchasing today is 2,617,267 yuan. After an 8.8% discount, ites to 2,303,194 yuan." As soon as the salesperson finished quoting the price, Lin Yi immediately took out a card, "Swipe the card!" Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Another Double Return? The sales associate at that moment was beyond excited, hurriedly taking the bank card that Lin Yi handed over. "Ka-ching!" There was no doubt about it, the transaction was approved! Almost at that instant, Lin Yi recalled another prompt from the system! "Ding! Congrattions to the host, for regr spending with your wife, you have received a reward ¡ª double the amount spent will be returned!" Right after that, he received a text message. Upon closer inspection, it was a bank transfer notification¡ª4,606,388 yuan credited to his ount, not a penny less! In that very moment, Lin Yi no longer wanted the sales associate to give him an 8.8% discount! Even though the discount was applied, it meant he received significantly less money back! However, even so, there was a considerable amount of interest umting in his card. The sales associate respectfully returned the card to Lin Yi, and also handed over the watch packed in a gift box along with a membership card. As the two left the store, Han Xuewei looped her arm through Lin Yi''s and asked, "Are we going home now, or shall we continue to look around elsewhere?" Lin Yi smiled and said, "Of course we''re going to browse more. Today we''re going to splurge with no restraints!" He then led Han Xuewei from shop to shop. They visited many stores, buying bags and essories, and in less than two hours, they had spent hundreds of thousands more. Lin Yi took his purchases to the underground parking lot and ced them in the car, then he returned to the mall to continue their spree! All shopping expenses would be doubled and returned by the system! The feeling was indescribably exhrating! It was as if he couldn''t run out of money even if he tried! When the couple finally got home, Han Xuewei categorized all the things they bought that day, as some of the items were gifts for the family members. Han Xuewei took out three shopping bags, inside which were two thermal garments, a woolen coat, and a silk scarf¡ªall purchased for Mother Lin. Seeing that her son and daughter-inw had bought so much for her after just one trip out, Mother Lin was overjoyed. When she learned that Han Xuewei had taken the initiative to buy and choose them, she praised her, saying, "Vivi is so thoughtful. You might not believe it, but Lin Yi has never bought me much since he was little! What a good daughter-inw I have found, I am truly blessed." Han Xuewei smiled and said, "Mom, rest assured, I will treat you just like my own mother." Mother Lin''s smile grew even wider, "Good, I couldn''t be happier to have a daughter-inw like you. Beautiful and sensible, truly a paragon of virtue. Our Lin Family is blessed to have you marry into it!" Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn''t help but interject, "Mom, how can you say that about me? Who says I never bought you anything? I''ve bought you plenty of snacks." After listening to this, Mother Lin didn''t hesitate to rib him, "You have the nerve to mention that? Weren''t those snacks always eaten by you alone? And they were all your favorites anyway. Plus, when did I ever say I loved snacks?" Lin Yi retorted without missing a beat, "Mom, that''s not fair, you ate half of my spicy strips!" Lin Yi vaguely remembered his mom used to be like a little girl, unable to control herself around snacks¡ªperhaps now that she was getting older, she had to start taking care of her health! Mother Lin huffed in feigned annoyance, then carried the big and small packages that Han Xuehui had brought back to her bedroom. Mother Lin was very clear in her heart that it was her daughter-inw who had suggested buying these things, but in the end, it was definitely her son who paid for them. However, as people age, they tend to find happiness quite easily. Lin Yi and Tang Xuewei saw Mother Lin return to her room, and then the two of them moved the rest of the items upstairs. They hadn''t finished sorting through everything yet; some were for Lin Yi''s father, and others were gifts for Han Xuewei''s parents. Since no one else was around at the moment, they had to store all these items in the warehouse. Han Xuewei and Lin Yi happened to pass by the nursery, and coincidentally, the three babies had just woken up. Han Xuewei hurried in to take care of the babies, while Lin Yi was left to organize the remaining items on his own. He first unpacked all of the outer packaging and then neatly arranged everything. When he got to thest few items, he unpacked the lingerie he had bought and casually hung it on the clothes rack. Lin Yi took a look and realized that the lingerie was a bit too revealing; the weather had turned cold these past few days, and it seemed like wearing them might lead to a chill! Just as he was about to hang thest piece of lingerie, the bedroom door opened, and in came Han Xuewei. She immediately saw the sexy lingerie Lin Yi was holding, which was even transparent, and her cheeks turned pink. Lin Yi had actually bought this in the mall! So the shopping bag she had been holding in her hand all this time contained... Obviously, it wasn''t for herself, but something for her to wear... At this moment, Han Xuewei stood at the bedroom door, staring nkly at Lin Yi, her eyes full of embarrassment, and he was clearly even more embarrassed than she was! Lin Yi had nned to hang them all up so that Han Xuewei would find them when changing clothes, but the two of them had faced each other face to face, and now he was still spreading out that lingerie to admire it! How could he let Han Xuewei catch him with such a lecherous expression on his face!!! Damn it! Isn''t this just social suicide? Lin Yi was at a loss for what to do and eventually just stiffly hung the lingerie up, then said to Han Xuewei, "I''ve taken out all the things I bought for you. The bags are in the cab now, and I haven''t had time to hang the clothes up yet. Uh, do you want to do it or should I?" Han Xuewei didn''t speak, but quietly came over to Lin Yi''s side: "Honey, do you really like this kind?" After hearing this, Lin Yi waspletely startled; he had thought Han Xuewei would just blush and say nothing, but he didn''t expect her to ask him such a question! Lin Yi''s face turned red and his heart raced; for a moment, he was at a loss for words! Heughed nervously a couple of times: "Ah¡­ uh¡­ I¡­ just thought they looked nice..." Han Xuewei gave a sly smile: "Then when we have time... I''ll wear it..." Find stories at m-vl-em-pyr "But I''ve never tried these before... I don''t know if I can meet your expectations..." Han Xuewei hadn''t finished speaking when Lin Yi quickly said, "You''ll definitely look good in them, you''re even better than those models in winter..." As he spoke, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly closed his mouth! Han Xuewei smiled softly and said in a low voice, "It''s okay, honey. We''re family now; we''re a married couple with a certificate, so there''s nothing to be shy about... you don''t need to be so indirect..." Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Just These Few Hobbies After a long period of inner struggle, Han Xuewei finally understood that there''s nothing embarrassing about opening up and discussing certain topics when the two of them were husband and wife. She had been very proactive from the beginning, which led to the oues that followed, but as a woman, she still hoped to retain a certain level of dignity. Seeing Lin Yi do such a thing today, she thought it was pretty normal. After all, life should have a bit of romance to be good. Lin Yi chuckled, pulled Han Xuewei into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "As a man, these are pretty much the only hobbies I have. If one day you feel better, try them on, so I can admire you too." Han Xuemei blushed and nodded softly in response. The young couple hugged each other tightly once again. With the 42-day postpartum check-up approaching fast, Lin Yi had made thorough preparations for it. On the day of the check-up, Lin Yi woke up very early, and Han Xuewei had made an appointment for her postpartum examination a few days in advance, having to be at the hospital by nine o''clock. So as soon as eight o''clock passed, the two of them got out of bed together. It was tough to wake up so early, especially since Han Xuewei had to wake up to feed the babies at night and usually couldn''t get up until after nine in the morning. On their way to the hospital, Han Xuewei, sitting in the passenger seat, fell asleep after a while. Lin Yi, seeing this, felt helpless; it really wasn''t easy for a mother to breastfeed her treasure body! When they arrived at the hospital for the check-up, the time was just right, but as there were quite a few people who had booked in advance, they still had to wait a bit longer, and since it was a weekend, such a scenario was all toomon. Han Xuewei fell asleep against Lin Yi while waiting outside, and when their number was called, he woke her up so they could enter the department together. The doctor looked through Han Xuewei''s file, showed a trace of surprise, and asked directly, "So you''re the mother who gave birth to triplets that everyone has been talking about! You''ve really done a fantastic job!" "Judging from the weight of the babies delivered by cesarean section, it''s clear that you''ve had a very sessful prenatal care!" Han Xuemei smiled and nodded, "Yes, two babies were four pounds each, and one was five pounds." The doctor, looking at theputer, said slowly, "Since you''ve had triplets, you must take good care of your rectus abdominis muscle, which has been significantly damaged, and that can greatly affect your health." Han Xuewei nodded, "Yes, my husband has already taken me to the beauty salon, and I''ve been undergoing postpartum recovery these days." "Oh? It seems your husband is quite insightful, but the postpartum check-up we''re going to do today is also very important. Go and pay first, thene back. We''ll schedule an ultrasound for you first. Don''t worry, you don''t need to hold your urine for this ultrasound today." Han Xuewei nodded, "Okay, we''lle back as soon as we''ve paid." Lin Yi also stood up to express his gratitude, then went to pay the fees. After paying the fees, she returned to find the nurse, and then Han Xuewei went for the check-up. After waiting for about half an hour, Han Xuewei got the results of the examination. Experience tales at m-vl-e-mpyr She looked at them and found some of the medical terms iprehensible, so she and Lin Yi went to find a doctor together. "The doctor who did my ultrasound earlier said that my recovery has been better than he anticipated," she ryed. As they were talking, they returned to the initial department where the doctor took the results, scrutinized them, and then said, "Good, your recovery is going very well, and your anemia has improved a lot. Your file notes that you had significant bleeding during the caesarean section, causing your hemoglobin levels to be below standard before discharge, but the current data shows your recovery is looking great!" "Though the report is positive, I still rmend that you continue to reinforce your Qi-Blood once you''re home, so it can better regte and ensure a more thorough recovery." "Postpartum repair must not stop. Currently, your rectus abdominis is not looking optimistic, and its function has not fully recovered. You can see your belly is noticeablyrger; you might think it''s just a thickyer of fat, but in reality, it''s due to the umtion of your internal organs. No matter what, you must ensure the health and proper function of the rectus abdominis since it''s an important protector of your internal organs! Fortunately, you''ve already started postpartum repair, and from what we can see in the results now, it''s gradually improving. I hope you will continue to persevere until it''s fully repaired!" Lin Yimitted the doctor''s words to memory and said earnestly, "Alright, we will definitely keep it up!" When the couple left the hospital, Lin Yi took Han Xuewei straight to the pharmacy and bought a huge amount of supplements for replenishing Qi and Blood, including enough bird''s nest tost a month! Lin Yi had one principle when selecting supplements: choose the most expensive, as he believed the most expensive were the best. As a result, the expenses came in at least to a total of 150,000 yuan. Fortunately, the system was still offering a double reward return today! Now, if something can be bought with money, Lin Yi would purchase it without hesitation! Lin Yi immediately told Han Xuewei, "Starting from tomorrow, the two Maternity Matrons will continue to work. I''ll instruct them to prepare a bowl of bird''s nest every day so you can drink it at night, along with various other supplements. You''ll have to eat whatever they make. You can''t skip any of it." "And I will be monitoring you constantly. Right now, the most important thing is to replenish your Qi-Blood." Han Xuewei responded with a frightened look, "Ah? How is that possible? I was nning to start losing weight this month..." Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly, "No dieting, health is most important, and I think you''re fine just as you are." "But if I follow your rmendations for supplementation, with several kinds a day, I''ll be even fatter within a week..." Han Xuewei hurriedly argued. "You must listen to your husband, no arguing! There will be plenty of opportunities to lose weight in the future. Once you''ve regained your strength, if you really want to lose weight, I will hire a Nutritionist to specially design a diet and workout n for you, ensuring you get back to your previous figure. However, the priority now is to build up your body, or you might suffer health issues in the future. You must stick to the supplements I bought," Lin Yi asserted with amanding tone, not allowing any room for refusal. Han Xuewei had no choice but toply, "Ah... then I''ll listen to you..." And just then, the familiar notification sound rang out in Lin Yi''s mind! The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 90: Chapter 90 New Skills "Ding, congrattions to the host for buying supplements for your wife, the reward you''ve earned this time is the skill¡ªNutritionist!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was overjoyed, and he couldn''t help but wonder, is the system constantly capturing my thoughts? Howe it delivers precisely what I''m thinking about? If that''s the case, then when I get back, I''ll definitely make a meal n for my wife myself! I''ll have the Aunties cook ording to the meal n every day! That way, the whole family can enjoy nutritious meals! While calcting this in his mind, Lin Yi drove towards the beauty center at Qianda Shopping za with Han Xuewei. ording to the repair treatment schedule, the care for today would still be for the entire body, and these past two days an additional item had been added, something involving mugwort nourishment. Lin Yi, eager to apany his wife through the treatment, waited silently outside for nearly two hours, realizing it was toote to make lunch. By the time Han Xuewei finished her treatment, it was already two o''clock in the afternoon, Lin Yi was quite hungry, but he waited outside quietly, determined to have lunch with Han Xuewei after her treatment. Seeing that the evening party was approaching fast, Lin Yi was keen on taking his wife with him, and likewise hoped she could adjust her condition well, since after all, health is most important. Moreover, Lin Yi had taken the opportunity to call the manager of Gezi''s custom-made dresses to confirm the time of the party, so they could just wait for the car that afternoon. After Han Xuewei walked out from the treatment room, she ran straight to Lin Yi and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "I was feeling a bit of milk engorgement during the treatment, so I had the staff help me out a little." After hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "No wonder it took so long today, I was getting worried about you. By the way, I''ve already told Aunt Wang that we would be having lunch outside today, so just tell me what you want to eat, and I''ll take you there." Han Xuewei nodded, "We dyed too long today, and I''m really hungry now... I only had a little millet porridge before leaving this morning, I feel like I have no strength now, I even had the staff fetch me a piece of cake during the treatment." Lin Yi held Han Xuewei and said, "You''ve worked hard, baby, let''s go have something delicious now. It''s okay to dy asionally, as long as you keep up with these repair treatments, that''s what matters most." "Oh, the evening party is tomorrow, and I have already scheduled a home visit from Gezi''s dress fitters." Han Xuewei thought for a moment, "Hmm, schedule a home skincare service as well, so after the skincare, I can put on makeup and head out." Lin Yi quickly went to the beauty shop''s front desk to arrange the appointment, and then he and Han Xuewei went up to the highest floor of the mall, which was entirely dedicated to dining. The two had a quick lunch in the mall and wandered around a bit before heading home around five in the afternoon. Before dinner, Lin Yi told Aunt Wang ahead of time that he and Vivi weren''t very hungry yet, so they would have dinner a bitter. The couple hadn''t visited their baby for a whole day, and now they nned to head straight to the nursery. No sooner had Han Xuewei entered the house than she changed her clothes and washed her hands before heading to the nursery. Lin Yi''s mother called him over and asked, "How did Vivi''s postpartum check-up go today? What did the doctor say?" Lin Yi said with ease, "The data shows she''s recovering quite well, but she must continue to replenish her qi and blood. The doctor insists on persistence. Mom, I bought a lot of tonics today. If you have timeter on, could you make some for Vivi? Boil some soup or prepare some bird''s nest for her." Lin Yi continued, "Oh, and I bought a lot of bird''s nest today, enough for our family to eat for a month. You can make extra, so everyone can enjoy it together!" Having said that, Lin Yi pointed to another bag and said, "This bag contains medicinal herbs, supplements in other words. I wasn''t as financially capable in the past and never thought about buying these tonics for mom, just remembered that you liked spicy strips and enjoyed all sorts of snacks with me. Now, as your son''s financial situation has improved, I''ve also learned to care for you more. This bag is yours, the other is for my mother-inw, and the rest is for Vivi. Nothing is more important than health. From now on, you all must take good care of yourselves!" Lin Yi''s mother was very touched by her son''s words and couldn''t help but feel that her son had really grown up so much! Especially after having his own family, the change had been transformative! Lin Yi''s mother spoke earnestly, "Oh, son, it makes mom very happy that you think of these things. Not only do you know how to look after your home now, but you also care for the people around you." "However, I still have some concerns. Mom knows you have many shares and have amassed a fair amount of wealth. Still, I hope that in the future, you will own a business that''s entirely yours." "Your father and I are getting older and nearing retirement, but we''re still holding on. Throughout a person''s life, from birth to aging, one must always keep learning. If one day your father and I must retire, then everything about thepany must be handed over to you." Lin Yi''s mother shared so much all at once, and Lin Yi absorbed it all. He knew this day would inevitablye, and he couldn''t avoid it. Lin Yi took a deep breath and said to his mother, "Mom, I understand your thoughtspletely, and when that dayes as expected, I will certainly be apetent sessor! My current idea is to relocate thepany to the city center." Lin Yi''s mother replied, "Your father doesn''t see it that way. I told you the other day, his wish is to move thepany to a location closer to home." "Have you already chosen a ce to move to?" Lin Yi suddenly asked. "We haven''t found a suitable location yet, and even the office buildings a little closer to here are quite expensive. Nearly half a year''s ie would go to rent, and these locations are very sought after. It''s not easy to find an appropriate ce right away," said Lin Yi''s mother, clearly finding the issue challenging. Lin Yi continued to inquire, "How big an office are you nning to rent? Why don''t we expand thepany in the city center?" After listening to Lin Yi, his mother shook her head repeatedly, "Well, the head office is manageable; even a few hundred square meters would suffice. But if we want to expand in the city center, too small won''t do. We''d need at least a thousand square meters! That would be a significant expense!" Lin Yi responded calmly, "You can discuss with dad. If you really like the idea, or think it''s feasible, then don''t worry about the rest. Leave it to me. I have several friends who can give me advice. There''s always a way, and besides, this isn''t difficult." Chapter 91: Chapter 91 General Manager of Wenqu Building Lin Yi''s mother: "Hmm, if it''s really possible, of course that would be best. If your friend could help, that would be wonderful. Your father and I have fewer acquaintances in the city." Lin Yi''s parents'' worth is quite high, even reaching over ten billion at their peak. However, in the grand scheme of Xiangcheng, they are only considered slightly wealthy with no significant reputation or extensive social connections. Yet, to some real tycoons, such wealth could only be described as afortable living at best! Lin Yi chatted with his mother for a while, his mind still on the system reward he had received a few days ago, the Wenqu Building! The building was not small in scale, at least it was thergest in the city center! It had a building area of about four thousand square meters, with a total area of fifteen thousand! Lin Yi quicklymunicated with the system, inquiring about the property manager of that building. He got a bit of information from the system about the property manager and directly dialed the number provided. After several rings, a male voice came from the other end of the line. As soon as the general manager picked up the phone, he said very courteously, "Mr. Lin, hello, it''s an honor to receive your call. Let me introduce myself, I am the general property manager of Wenqu Building. My name is Jiao Xingbiao; you can call me Jiao. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can assist you with?" Lin Yi had already anticipated that the general manager would know him, so he calmly asked, "I want to ask if there are any vacant floors currently in Wenqu Building? I am interested in renting them out." Jiao Xingbiao blurted out his reply to Lin Yi without any hesitation, clearly very knowledgeable about Wenqu Building. "Mr. Lin, here is the situation: we currently have some spaces avable on both the first and second floors, with identicalyouts¡ªnine hundred square meters on the first floor, eight hundred on the second. Our building has a total of forty-two floors, and as of now, there are still twenty office spaces vacant, each ranging from 277 to 388 square meters." "May I ask what you need the space for, Mr. Lin?" Jiao Xingbiao asked, following his exnation. "The offices are quite spacious. Are there any adjacent ones avable? I''m in urgent need. If there are some on the lower floors avable for rent, please let me know first." His parents had not yet agreed on whether to expand thepany''s business in the city center, but considering relocating the headquarters here could be a good option. Jiao Xingbiao, worthy of his position as the general property manager, immediately grasped Lin Yi''s intent. Since Lin Yi personally inquired about this matter, it meant it was of significant importance, so Jiao Xingbiao firmly kept this in mind. He hastily responded, "Of course, rest assured." "There happen to be two adjacent offices vacant on the 32nd floor. I will instruct right now to reserve those offices for you." Lin Yi: "Hmm." Jiao Xingbiao continued, "Mr. Lin, July is just around the corner, and all of the building''s rent for the first half of the year has been collected. Once the finance department has processed everything, the funds will be transferred to your ount immediately. Please check your ount by then." Lin Yi became intrigued upon hearing this and inquired, "How much is the rent for the first half of the year approximately?" Jiao Xingbiao replied, "After deducting all necessary expenses, you should have about three billion left, which will be transferred into your ount by July 5th. Please Mr. Lin, check your ount then!" Lin Yi: "I understand, thank you for your efforts." Jiao Xingbiao: "It''s no trouble, no trouble at all, this is my duty." Lin Yi didn''t say much else and hung up the phone. When Jiao Xingbiao saw Lin Yi''s call, his heart tightened, and he broke out into a cold sweat. He originally thought that Lin Yi''s call was to question him about the dy in collecting rent! In the past, everything would''ve been handled by the middle of June, and the money would''ve been transferred immediately. However, recently apany renting office space in the building had financial issues and dyed paying their rent for a few days. But Jiao Xingbiao had already ordered that they pay the rent within three days, or they would have to pack up and move out! He had not expected that Lin Yi''s call was to inquire about the vacant office spaces. The call had indeed given him quite a scare! It turned out to be a false rm! No matter what, he had to protect his job¡ªthat was his cash cow! As thergest building in the city center and andmark, Wenqu Building was extremely popr. The profit from the building was also very substantial, with a profit of a million in just one month; thus, making tens of millions in a year was a breeze! He had to find a way to keep Lin Yi satisfied at all costs! After speaking with Jiao Xingbiao, Lin Yi couldn''t calm his emotions for a long time; he felt an extreme joy that left his brain nk for a moment! Without having to lift a finger, he could receive three billion in ie in just half a year! Could he be anything but excited? Without doing anything himself, the rent from Wenqu Building,bined with the dividends from Fuwa Baby, would generate several billion in profit in just half a year! What did this mean? He wouldn''t have to worry about money for the rest of his life! After calming his excitement, he immediately found his mother and said straightaway, "Mom, I have some great news. I''ve found arge office space in the city center. If you decide to expand the business downtown, we could take quite a bit of space! Will 1,700 square meters be enough?" Lin Yi''s family business was in the food industry, which included the expansion intorge supermarkets, though the supermarket venture was a joint investment with others. Lin Yi''s mother paused and then said, "I need to discuss this with your father, to hear his thoughts." "I was just talking to your dad on the phone. Guess what he''s thinking? He actually wants to sell his shares and peacefully spend time at home with his grandchildren, quietly enjoying retirement. He said some business partners are not so easy to deal with, and the incident that happened before left your dad distressed for months!" Lin Yi thought for a moment, then confidently said, "I support my dad''s decision, and he doesn''t need to worry. If ites to it, he still has his son to provide for him!" After hearing this, Lin Yi''s motherughed and said, "We don''t need you to provide for us. If your father really wants to sell his shares, he''ll have at least a billion or two! Not just for the two of us to retire¡ªwe could open a retirement home with that amount! Actually, these days I''ve been thinking about how to arrange your and Vivi''s education in the future, w? What about the wedding ceremony? Shouldn''t we hurry and make up for it?" Chapter 92 A Wedding Do-Over "You can''t wrong Vivi, nor can you think getting a marriage certificate is the end of it. Nowadays, young girls value romance; who doesn''t dream of a fairy-tale, romantic wedding? You must fulfill this wish for her," Lin Yi''s mother advised. "Oh, whenever we talk about these things, I remember when your dad and I got married. Forget about any grand dowry; we didn''t even take wedding photos. I always felt like we missed out," she added regretfully. Lin Yi chuckled and said, "I''ve been thinking about thistely, but I nned to discuss it with Vivi and her parents first. We''ll arrange it however they wish." Lin Yi''s mother nodded and continued, "Right, that makes sense. Both sides'' opinions should be taken into ount. By the way, you little rascal, have you proposed to Vivi yet? Life must be romantic; no matter what, you have to treat my daughter-inw well and must not neglect her!" Lin Yi hurriedly replied, "Ah, Mom, don''t worry about that. I proposed before we went to get the marriage certificate!" "Smart boy, but don''t ever follow your dad''s footsteps. When your dad and I got married, he was literally penniless. I followed him without a second thought. We''re getting on in years now, and after all this time, he''s never thought to buy me a recement ring or anything! It still gets me angry," Lin Yi''s motherined. Hearing this, Lin Yi also snickered, then replied, "I''ll be sure to pass your message sessfully to dad!" The mother and son chatted for a while before each going about their own business. When Lin Yi returned to the bedroom, Han Xuewei was already asleep, deeply resting. After all, she had been out all day and had just finished breastfeeding the baby, so she was certainly feeling exhausted. The three little ones had had their milk, but their eyes were wide open, showing no signs of sleepiness. Moreover, they needed to be held; otherwise, they''d easily cry. Seeing the babies like this, Lin Yi couldn''t help but be filled with emotion. The little ones were growing up so fast; they looked different almost every day. Lin Yi had been quite busy these days and hadn''t had the time to hold them much. Now, he realized how big the changes were when he picked up the three little ones! The three little ones were very clever and seemed to know they were in their father''s arms. They were quite happy when picked up, especially the little girl, Mengmeng. Whenever Lin Yi held her, he could hear her making "eheh-ahah" sounds, as if she was trying to talk to him! It must be said that every father would find it hard to refuse such wonderful moments with their children. But Lin Yi had his career to develop in the future, and many busy days ahead, so he''d likely not have a lot of time to spend with them. That meant he had to treasure these moments even more now! Just then, a system prompt sounded in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions, Host, for sessfully interacting with the three babies. You have been rewarded with three million yuan by the system!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled lightly. Perhaps because it was the first time Mengmeng had tried to talk to him, the system considered it a significant bonding interaction and rewarded him generously! On regr days, just changing a diaper or making form for the babies would get him at the most a few hundred thousand. So the day passed and by lunchtime, the beauty center came for a home service spa treatment for Han Xuewei. At that time, Han Xuewei was about to take a nap, feeling sleepy, so shey down and started to enjoy the treatment. It took a full two hours toplete the skincare and maintenance routine, and the staff from the Gossi Dress Shop arrived as promised. There were four people who came along, besides the store employee Lin Yi felt impressed by the other day, there was also a makeup artist, a business car driver, and a stylist. These four individuals would apany them to the g venue and wait outside for the entire event, until Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had just finished attending the g before taking them back home, at which their task would be considered thoroughlypleted. They brought with them Han Xuewei''s limited-edition gown and also, with the help of the stylist, put on the full set of "True Love Baby" diamond jewelry. Looking at the goddess-like Han Xuewei, Lin Yi was captivated, unable to deny that Han Xuewei would definitely be the focus of the entire g! The beautiful gown,plemented by the dazzling array of diamond jewelry, only served to entuate Han Xuewei''s high level of attractiveness, making her exceptionally beautiful and captivating! This On charity g is very famous nationwide and is even one of the fewrge-scale charity gs. Those who attend the g are generally celebrities, many well-known figures from different industries, and even stars active in the top tiers of the entertainment industry. If not for special circumstances, they would definitely attend the g. As the two of them arrived at their destination and got out of the car, what came into view was a red carpet spanning over a hundred meters. Everyone attending the g was dressed incredibly stunningly and acted with utmost elegance, making the scene resemble apetition of flourishing beauty. The On g itself is wasteful, urring only once a year, and it was precisely because this year''s event location was chosen to be in Xiangcheng that Lin Yi, the wealthy tycoon, was definitely invited. He was even the first person to receive the invitation. Han Xuewei linked arms with Lin Yi, and the two of them stepped onto the red carpet with great solemnity. The suit chosen by Lin Yi was grey, which matched perfectly with Han Xuewei''s white evening gown. Both were wearing the couple''s watches they had selected at Hermes, and Han Xuewei''s limited-edition diamond jewelry was equally eye-catching. Her figure-hugging evening gown perfectly sculpted her figure, outlining it beautifully. Her small cheeks, illuminated by the lights, were rosy and even looked slightly chubby, making Lin Yi want to give her a kiss. Moreover, Han Xuewei was in her nursing period during this time, so she really did have curves in all the right ces! But in that moment, unbeknownst to both of them, Li Jingwen in her purple body-hugging dress was staring intently at Han Xuewei through the crowd! If looks could kill, Han Xuewei would have been injured a thousand times over by now! How could Li Jingwen not be jealous? She was almost losing control of her emotions due to her envy. Li Jingwen stood there still pondering, but herpanion Yang Fan urged her not to dawdle and to head inside quickly. After the two of them entered from the red carpet, Li Jingwen imed she needed to touch up her makeup in the restroom and used this time to call over a well-prepped roommate. Lin Yi surveyed the surroundings, feeling curious about everything, and even saw an old ssmate of his. He informed Han Xuewei that he''d go have a look. Chapter 93: Chapter 93 A Conspiracy He wouldn''t have imagined the incredible things that were about to happen. In a corner of the restroom, Li Jingwen asked her roommate and best friend, "How are the preparations? Any problems?" "Jingwen, you can rest assured, when have I ever dropped the ball?" "That''s great! It all depends on your performance now! You know how hard it was for me to bring you to this party!" As she spoke, Li Jingwen took out a small bottle filled with liquid and lowered her voice, "In a little while, just find a way to get Han Xuewei into that room, tell her that Lin Yi''s ex-girlfriend wants to tell her something, I can guarantee she wille with you after hearing it." "And, the stuff in this bottle never fails; she''s definitely going to fall into my trap today!" Li Jingwen looked at the bottle in her hand with great satisfaction and handed it over to her roommate. Thetter took the small bottle and confirmed with Li Jingwen with a look in which a hint of malice was clearly visible. "If things go well today, Lin Yi will definitely leave Han Xuewei for good, and then, he''lle back to me!" A cold smile appeared on Li Jingwen''s face, "Han Xuewei, don''t you think you can firmly tie Lin Yi down with three kids! Today, I''ll let you see for yourself who Lin Yi truly loves!!" "Just do as I said, and if this gets done, I''ll give you fifty thousand as a reward tonight, directly into your ount. Now go." After hearing this, Li Jingwen''s roommate walked out. The reason she was helping Li Jingwen today was not only to make some money but also because she had her own little scheme¡ªwhat a perfect ce to find a wealthy husband! After her roommate left, Li Jingwen revealed a sinister smile that she had been hiding: "I''ve already given Yang Fan the drug early on; today, Han Xuewei won''t be able to escape my grasp, even if she grew wings!" "If Lin Yi catches you red-handed with another man outside today, I''d like to see how you''ll talk your way out of it! I don''t believe he''ll still want you then!" Li Jingwen had calcted very well, feeling proud of her n while smirking as she walked out. But what she hadn''t calcted was that Lin Yi had overheard her entire conversation while looking for someone! Lin Yi had casually entered the restroom, and before he could leave, he heard a very familiar voice from the washbasin area outside! Listening carefully, it turned out to be his ex-girlfriend, Li Jingwen! What made him furious was that Li Jingwen was actually scheming something sinister! After Li Jingwen left, a chilly look appeared in Lin Yi''s eyes! Daring to target my wife?? Just then, two mysterious men stealthily approached from this direction. Man one, "What''s the current status of thend acquisition report for Yantan District Expo Park?" Man two replied, "The top brass is nning it out right now. Maybe by the next meeting, we can finalize it. Just wait a few more weeks. After all, gathering information takes time." "Hmm, the sooner the better. We need..." Lin Yi didn''t pay attention to the conversation between the two men; at this moment, his mind was filled with rage. But the pressing matter at hand was to find Han Xuewei right away and ensure she stayed by his side¡ªglued to him, so to speak! Lin Yi thought of this and immediately turned around to leave, heading back to where he and Han Xuewei had parted ways. But at this moment, Han Xuewei, following the lead of Li Jingwen''s roommate, had arrived at a rather secluded and enclosed room. It was the backstage room used by the hosts to review their scripts, as well as the control room for the film projection, which contained many pieces of hardware equipment. Han Xuewei, at this particr moment, was unaware of the impending crisis she was about to face. Seeing that Lin Yi had made an urgent call to her, she picked up before she could even speak, she heard Lin Yi asking anxiously over the phone, "Vivi, where did you go?" Han Xuewei exined, "Honey, wait for me there, Li Jingwen''s bestie came to find me, I''ve seen her at school before. She said she wanted to take me to see Li Jingwen, there''s something very important she needs to tell me, and it''s also rted to you." "I want to know what she has to say. It''s too noisy outside, we are now in the back control room." After hearing this, Lin Yi replied with great urgency, "Right now, don''t worry about anything they say, don''t listen to them! Come back immediately! Head towards the hall, I''ll be there right away! Leave the control room first!" Lin Yi was now truly worried. The hall was a great distance from the rear control room, and with the hall filled with people standing around, running was almost impossible! But just as Han Xuewei was about to turn around and leave, she was blocked by Li Jingwen''s roommate, who was apanied by Yang Fan. Yang Fan was dressed in a crisp ck suit; his face was very red, from his forehead all the way down to his neck, the medication must have taken effect! After taking the medication, Yang Fan had obediently waited in one ce, not knowing what medication Li Jingwen had given him¡ªonly hearing her say that today he had the opportunity to fulfill his dream and win over the school beauty he had long pursued! Now, seeing the graceful and enchanting Han Xuewei standing right before him, how could Yang Fan not be excited? He quickly stepped forward, approaching Han Xuewei! At this point, even Yang Fan''s breathing had be much more rapid; the medicinal effect had fully taken hold! Medications with simr functions generally have effects thatst for several hours! Han Xuewei was about to push him away and leave the ce, but suddenly she felt a bit dizzy and her body noticeably started to feel hot! Upon her arrival, Han Xuewei hadn''t felt this sensation, but as the difort grew, she smelled something strange! Her intuition told her there was something wrong with this odor! But as time ticked away, Han Xuewei found she was bing unable to exert any strength in her body! If she looked at Yang Fan now, his face was filled with excitement, as he foolishly smiled and called out, "Vivi!" Step by step, he advanced toward Han Xuewei, forcing her to retreat repeatedly while he expressed his affections deeply, "Vivi, I''ve liked you for a very long time! From the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you, and I''ve thought of you every day! You''re so beautiful today, breathtakingly so!" Indeed, Han Xuewei today could make anyone''s heart skip a beat! As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, he audaciously reached out and wrapped his arms around Han Xuewei! At this moment, Han Xuewei''s consciousness was still fairly clear, and she really didn''t want this man to get any closer! Using thest of her strength, she pushed Yang Fan away! Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Critical Moment Yang Fan hadn''t steadied his feet either, and with that push, he fell straight to the ground, but he wasn''t angry at all, because he could feel that Han Xuewei''s strength was very weak at that moment! It must be said, Li Jingwen really knew how to seize the moment! The Han Xuewei before him was nothing but amb to the ughter. What was to follow was just a matter of time! Li Jingwen''s roommate was also very tactful. Seeing this scene, she quickly said, "Then I won''t disturb you two, take your time catching up! I have the key to this room, just remember to lock the door from the inside... and no one will disturb you." After she spoke, she walked towards the door. But just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the doorway! The neer was Lin Yi! He had just rushed to the door when he heard Li Jingwen''s roommate''s words, so he firmly blocked the door, standing in the way! His gaze swiftly scoured the room, and soon he saw Han Xuewei standing inside, looking very ufortable. At the same time, he noticed Yang Fan staring at Han Xuewei with a lecherous face, and he was instantly furious! He couldn''t help but clench his fists, a chill sweeping over his body! Han Xuewei also noticed Lin Yi barging in and weakly looked at him, finding herself unable to utter a single word at this moment! Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately snatched the key from Li Jingwen''s best friend''s hand and then forcefully pushed her aside! Thetter, losing her bnce, fell to the ground, her phone flying out a good distance, and in such a state, it had to be broken! Lin Yi rushed forward and threw a hard punch at Yang Fan''s face, and Yang Fan began retreating continuously while covering his nose! Lin Yi hurried to Han Xuewei''s side, pulling her into his embrace, and he also noticed that her body had started to heat up! He supported Han Xuewei out the door, then promptly closed it and locked it up tight with the key! In this way, only Yang Fan and Li Jingwen''s roommate were left in the room! As soon as the door was locked, Li Jingwen''s roommate finally reacted! She quickly got up, picking up her phone, and immediately tried to call Li Jingwen, but the inner screen of the phone was also shattered,pletely unresponsive to her touch! Turning to look at Yang Fan, he had already lost all control over his desire! What was even more outrageous was that beforehand, Li Jingwen''s roommate had sprayed a bottle of special perfume in the room, hence Han Xuewei''s reaction upon smelling it. Having stayed inside too long, she herself started to feel dizzy and weak after smelling the scent! She couldn''t help but mutter in her heart, "Since there''s nothing I can do now, and my purpose here was just to find a sugar daddy, the man Li Jingwen picked certainly wouldn''t have a shallow pocket! So this Yang Fan isn''t too bad, maybe today I''ll just¡­" As one of Li Jingwen''s close friends, although her beauty wasn''t as breathtaking as Li Jingwen''s, she still counted as a pretty girl! Yang Fan had felt nothing for her until now, but he didn''t have a choice! No one could resist the ''Medicinal Effect''! After not too long, the two who were locked in the small, dark room started to be intimate... Meanwhile, there was another matter that was even more preposterous! Li Jingwen had used her roommate and best friend to pull off this cunning deed, but at this very moment, she was plotting yet another scheme in her heart! Simr control rooms were installed with plenty of surveince, but aside from the working staff, guests had no way of viewing the monitor screens. However, Li Jingwen had spent some money to buy a key that allowed ess to the control room from one of the workers. She emerged from who knows where, then stood at the door of the control room listening for a while, and when she heard ambiguous noises inside, a smug smile spread across her face, "Humph! Got you now, Han Xuewei, I didn''t expect you to be enjoying yourself this much!" Immediately after, she went to the neighboring control room, followed the operating procedure given by that person, and sessfully turned on the surveince feed from the control room! She sneered and took out her phone, beginning to record. But because of the dim lighting, she couldn''t see very clearly, so she turned a nearby knob, activating the camera''s infrared feature. As she smugly appreciated the perfect conspiracy unfolding before her, suddenly, she saw clearly that the woman entangled with Yang Fan was actually her best friend!! She screamed like a madwoman, "Chen Fei??? How could you do such a thing!! What on earth is going on?" In her haste, she threw down her phone and rushed toward the control room! Seeing the key still in the lock, she quickly turned it! She dashed forward, pulling apart the entwined couple caught in deep waters and fiery mes. Li Jingwen kept cursing at the two, but by this time, the no longer sober Yang Fan suddenly pulled her toward him; Li Jingwen couldn''t break free in time, and after a short tussle, she was overwhelmed by the perfume in the room! By the time she realized it, it was toote! Yang Fan had already pushed her to the ground! Li Jingwen''s roommate, Chen Fei, seeing what had transpired, finally snapped back to reality, hurriedly got dressed, and ran out cautiously, making sure to lock the door from the outside! Li Jingwen saw the retreating figure of Chen Fei and roared in a low voice, "Chen Fei!! I will never forgive you!" Meanwhile, at the other end, Lin Yi was carrying Han Xuewei into the hotel lobby. "Get a room, the more expensive, the better!" This hotel was hosting today''s On charity event, and many guests woulde here to book a room and rest after getting drunk, and it was not unusual for couples toe to the hotel too. However, the front desk clerk started to give strange looks when she saw Lin Yi''s anxious expression and the somewhat abnormal Han Xuewei. Lin Yi cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "We are husband and wife, legitimate, with marriage certificate!" Hearing this, the clerk naturally retracted her gaze and quickly began checking for avable rooms. Lin Yi felt speechless at the clerk, was booking a hotel room in this day and age still requiring proof of innocence? He quickly remembered himself getting utterly drunk and being taken to a hotel by Han Xuewei, and couldn''t help but smile at the thought, as it seemed rather amusing. When he received the room card from the front desk, he carried Han Xuewei straight into the elevator, found the room after some effort, and finally breathed a sigh of relief! If only he had known such a thing would happen, he wouldn''t havee to the charity event! Talk about bad luck, to be schemed against by a person like Li Jingwen! Lin Yi clenched his teeth, thinking to himself, "This couple in cahoots, just you wait and see! I''ll make sure you get what''sing to you!" Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Ambiguous Night Meanwhile, he quickly took out his phone and notified the attendant from Zige Boutique, who apanied him earlier, that he had encountered some unexpected issues and wouldn''t be able to return just yet, so they shouldn''t wait for him. After hanging up the phone, he also called his mother to let her know he had run into some special circumstances and would not being home tonight. Lin Yi''s mother immediately understood, as she had been through simr situations herself, and she reassured him not to worry about the baby, as she was at home. After hearing this, Lin Yi simply smiled and did not say much else. When he turned his head back around, he found that Han Xuewei''s condition had worsenedpared to before! Even herplexion had changed considerably! At this moment, Han Xuewei started mumbling, "Husband, help me... I feel a bit hot, take me to have a bath." Lin Yi felt helpless butplied, lifting Han Xuewei and carrying her into the bathtub. Lin Yi now realized that Han Xuewei''s consciousness was beginning to blur. Furthermore, in this state, she had be even more uninhibited. Even with Lin Yi by her side, she slowly took off her clothes; although she felt somewhat shy in her heart, it was at least different from before. Han Xuewei murmured, "Husband, help me..." Her voice was faint, but Lin Yi heard it very clearly, and to his ears, it sounded like she was coquettishly pleading! He was, after all, a young man full of vigor! ...... About half an hourter, the bathtub finally becamepletely quiet. Lin Yi lifted the exhausted Han Xuewei out of the bathtub, gently ced her on the bed, and his body still carried Han Xuewei''s fragrance. Some things in this world are just so wonderful; after you''ve experienced them, they be irresistible, almost like an addiction! Lin Yi was feeling just that way; although he had just been through quite an ordeal, he quickly became addicted again! He carefully covered Han Xuewei with the nket, his eyes unavoidably taking a few extra nces at her chest ¨C the size was indeed impressive! The next second, he deeply kissed Han Xuewei''s red lips, which led to another bout of intimacy! By the next morning, when Han Xuewei opened her eyes, she found Lin Yi staring at her intently! She instinctively drew her legs in, feeling a burning sensation sweep through her body, and then she kicked Lin Yi angrily, "Stop looking!" But it was only after she moved that she realized she had no strength in her legs at all, and they were even a little sore, so even though she kicked Lin Yi, it was as ineffective as a small fist thumping a chest. She quickly snatched the nket, wrapping herself up tightly, and with a slight frown, she rubbed her calves. It seemed that what happened herest night was far crazier than their first time! Lin Yi then reached out to hold Han Xuewei''s foot and began to massage it delicately. "Does your calf hurt?" After hearing this, Han Xuewei puffed out her cheeks and in a low voice reproached, "It''s all your fault!" Lin Yi was absolutely a gentleman in normal times! Yet despite that, one cannot control human nature! He was not a Sage, so how could he suppress his male instincts? Especially in front of such a beautiful wife! And if he did the math, it had been nearly a year since he had such intimate contact with Han Xuewei! Once he indulged, it was hard not to get addicted! Furthermore, when he was dating Li Jingwen, she never got intimate with him to keep him hooked, sometimes not letting him touch her for half a year. Seeing Han Xuewei fall silent, Lin Yi''s hands crept towards her thighs again, beginning to massage them. And his touch was naughtily creeping upwards. It must be said, the squishy feel was really veryfortable! As Lin Yi praised the sensation inwardly, he also thought that he wanted to enjoy this squishy feel every day in the future! He hoped she never slimmed down! He also discovered that Han Xuewei''s skin was really very good; every time he got close to her, the softness was unforgettable and even lingered in his memory! Unknowingly, his hand had moved up quite a bit. He took a deep breath and couldn''t help but lean in to kiss her! But Han Xuewei quickly reached out to hold Lin Yi''s head, blushing slightly and said with a mix of shyness and indignation, "It''s almost ten o''clock; it''s gettingte. We should hurry home! If you keep this up, then I... then I''ll have to tell mom about you!" Lin Yi paused for a moment when he heard what Han Xuewei said, then he couldn''t help but burst intoughter. "Wife, are you serious? This is the most private thing between us two, and you really want to tell mom about it?" Han Xuewei saw that this approach wasn''t working and could only plead with Lin Yi in a pitiful tone, "Husband, I''m really too tired right now. I just want a good rest. We can''t let mom and dad see us looking haggard when we get home, right? I have no strength left at all..." Lin Yi was amused by his wife''s gesture: "Hahaha, silly girl, don''t worry, your husband knows you''re tired. I just want to give you a kiss." "And whatever I do ispletely reasonable. You are my little baby; if I don''t desire you, whom shall I desire? Every time I see you, I can''t help but think about it¡ªI am very possessive!" Having said that, Lin Yi kissed Han Xuewei. At that moment, Han Xuewei realized that her future life... might not be easy!! Seeing Han Xuewei silent again, Lin Yi asked with concern, "Do you feel sleepy all the time? Is there anywhere that feels sore? Let your husband give you a massage, I promise I won''t get carried away!" Han Xuewei tried to stretch and then realized that her whole body was sore, her bones felt like they were aching, and it would probably be hard to stand up. Lin Yi had no choice but to let Han Xuewei lie prone on the bed, and began massaging her from the shoulders to her back. As Han Xueweiy down, images from the previous night''s frenzy involuntarily shed in her mind, and her face turned even redder, spreading to the base of her neck! Seeing his little wife blushing while lying down, Lin Yi started to tease her with augh, "What''s up? Why is your face all red? Couldn''t be that you''re remembering something, could it?" Lin Yi chuckled again. "So you must be full of energy now, right?" Han Xuewei shivered at those words and, enduring the soreness in her body, quickly turned over and pulled her legs back, even pushing away Lin Yi''s hands that were massaging her! She had already put on the shirt Lin Yi gave her, but she hadn''t put on her bra yet! One nce and it was still very clear! Chapter 96 Continue After Eating and Drinking to Satisfaction ``` So she hurriedly stretched out her hand, pulling the quilt over and wrapping herself up tightly. Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelBin Lin Yi had no idea what had happened by the time he realized Han Xuewei had already shrunk into a corner of the bed. Lin Yi clicked his tongue helplessly,id down on the bed, spread himself out into a "big" character, and upon seeing Han Xuewei curled up in the quilt with just her little head poking out, couldn''t help but smile and teasingly asked, "I didn''t expect you to be so quick, I didn''t even react. You seem to be recovering quite well, not so tired anymore, huh... then..." "Baby, how about taking a bath before we go back?" Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei and suddenly asked. Han Xuewei''s face was already a bit red. When she heard Lin Yi say this, she wrapped the quilt around herself even tighter, "I''ll wash myself, you, you go first..." Lin Yi responded with an even wickeder grin, "Why wrap yourself up so tightly! Is there any part of you I haven''t seen before? Even if you put on a thick cotton coat today, I know very well!" "Besides, we were originally going to wash separately, are you thinking of washing together? From what you''re saying, it seems like you''re trying to seduce me??" "It''s not like that!!" Han Xuewei''s face was so flushed with anger! Where''s the seduction!! I already said you go wash first! How did that be seduction? "Husband, please stop teasing me!" "Hmm!? How am I teasing you? No, if I don''t tease you, who else would I tease?" It must be said, Lin Yi is usually very honest, but he''s not short of bawdy jokes! Isn''t his skin a little too thick?! At this point, Han Xuewei really couldn''t take it anymore, she hurriedly wrapped herself in the quilt and staggered into the bathroom, even locking the door behind her! Lin Yi had washed all her underwearst night, and now it was hanging in the bathroom, dry thanks to the dryer having been turned on. It must be said, the equipment in this high-end hotel is reallyprehensive! Soon after, Lin Yi heard the "whoosh" of running water from the bathroom, and he didn''t forget to shout towards the inside, "Wife, it''s very spacious in there, the bathtub is big enough for two people! Let''s wash together and go home early..." But Han Xuewei seriously replied, "Wait a bit longer for me, I''ll finish in no time." "Husband, quickly find a bath towel to wrap yourself with, not wearing a single piece of clothing... so embarrassing..." Lin Yi couldn''t help but look down at himself, he was ustomed to this and didn''t find it inappropriate, rather it felt quite natural. "I''m only like this in front of my wife, is that not okay?" Inside, Han Xuewei busied herself with her shower, no longer speaking, while Lin Yi, feeling a bit tired by then,y down and began to rest with closed eyes. Maybe it was because he had held back for too long, sost night was a bit too wild. Thinking about it, he still felt relieved that Han Xuewei hadn''t had too much. About ten minutester, Han Xuewei emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. Lin Yi then sat up. "I''ll finish washing quickly too... By the way, wife, I should call mom to let her know. We won''t being back for lunch. You can get some more sleep, and we can go home in the afternoon. Even if we hurry back now, the baby will have finished his milk, and we won''t be able to rest well..." Han Xuewei nodded her head in agreement. If they rushed back now, she would likely have to breastfeed non-stop, and she definitely wouldn''t be able to rest well. "I feel so hungry..." ``` Lin Yiughed and said, "You can order directly from the hotel if you want to eat something. If you''re not used to it, I''ll help you order takeout!" Han Xuewei thought for a while, "Just let the hotel deliver a meal. I''ll start with breakfast! I''m so hungry now, I don''t even have the energy to get out of bed..." Lin Yi nodded, "Then I''ll have them make breakfast right now and let Mom know." Han Xuewei nodded and said, "Mm, I''m going to rest, still a bit sleepy." Lin Yi even took special care to tuck her in properly, and couldn''t help but chuckle to himself. Get a good sleep first, and then have dinner... When she''s rested enough, we can... hehe... Were the thoughts in Lin Yi''s mind too beastly? After ordering breakfast from the hotel front desk, Lin Yi dialed his mother''s mobile number. But no sooner had he finished speaking, his mother started scolding him, "Vivi is tired? You little scamp, what on earth did you dost night? Don''t you have any self-control? Vivi''s body can''t withstand you tormenting her like this!" Lin Yi felt wronged, "I... I didn''t do anything, and I... have been holding back for so long... She''s just resting for a bit now, as soon as she wakes up, we''ll head home!" Lin Yi''s mother was silent for a moment, then said, "Then you need to be careful with your limits!" Lin Yi''s mother wanted to say more but held back the words on the tip of her tongue. After all, it''s the couple''s own business, and she shouldn''t nag anymore. After speaking with his mother, Lin Yi put away his phone, looked at the sleeping Han Xuewei, and then went to the bathroom. When he came out after the shower, the server had also brought up the breakfast. Lin Yi pushed the breakfast cart right up to Han Xuewei''s bedside and then woke her up, "Little cutie, time to get up! Eat breakfast and then you can go back to sleep, okay?" Lin Yi knew that Han Xuewei was very hungry by now, she had eaten very little the previous night, and it was already thiste without having had breakfast. He didn''t want his wife to go hungry. Han Xuewei was pulled up by him, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then sat at the edge of the bed to drink her porridge. Shortly after finishing, shey down to sleep again, but little did she expect that Lin Yi would also slip under the covers with her. Han Xuewei was startled, "What are you doing! I''m really tired now!" Lin Yi put on a pitiful face, "Wife, you''ve taken all the nkets. I''ll wake up frozen." Han Xuewei looked at him and warned, "Then you''re not allowed to move around!" Seeing his wife''s permission, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, mydy!" Just like that, the two of them fell asleep cuddled together, one wrapped in a bathrobe, and the other stark naked! After a while, Han Xuewei suddenly murmured in her sleep and then woke up from her dream. She was startled by the dream she just had! Oh my goodness! Why am I dreaming about being affectionate with Lin Yi? But as soon as she woke up from the dream, she immediately realized something was off! Lin Yi, who was holding Han Xuewei tightly, was being very naughty! Moving around! No wonder she had such a dream! "Husband! How can you act like this?" Han Xuewei got annoyed again! Lin Yi moved even closer and kissed her on the back of her neck, "You''ve been asleep for three and a half hours now, you should be ready to..." Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Soft Grinding Hard Foaming Han Xuewei suddenly realized that she was starting to feel engorged! She hurriedly got up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom to start pumping milk. When she came out of the bathroom, Lin Yi was already lying down with his eyes closed, quietly, possibly asleep. Now, to Han Xuewei, Lin Yi seemed like a ticking time bomb! This ever-present risk of explosion was something she had to bear! But even though she was aware of this fact, under Lin Yi''s crazyment about how long it had been since he''d been intimate, Han Xuewei naturally couldn''t stand up to his persistence and soft soap, and finally she softened her heart and enjoyed another passionate round with Lin Yi. Then, they ordered lunch in the hotel. While Lin Yi was waiting in the corridor for the serving cart to arrive, he overheard two attendants talking around the corner. "Did you hear about yesterday? There was quite the show in the control room! A threesome!" "I heard too, people these days really know how to y, three of them, haha, it''s just different!" "And one girl ran out in the middle of it!" "I wonder if the guy monitoring has any video? The footage must be thrilling!". "He probably does, I''ll ask the security departmentter..." After hearing this conversation, Lin Yi''s face remained very calm as he brought the lunch back to the room. After enjoying a sumptuous meal together, the two cuddled up and fell asleep again. When they woke up again, it was almost four in the afternoon! After getting up, Han Xuewei felt so much more energized. Han Xuewei just pouted and pretended to be angry before ignoring Lin Yi. They had onest heated battle in the room before leaving the hotel! It was almost four-thirty by the time the two of them came out of the hotel. As Han Xuewei walked, she could clearly feel her legs shaking, but she persevered. At this moment, Lin Yi had already noticed that Han Xuewei was feeling very embarrassed, but luckily their mom and Aunt Wang were busy taking care of the baby, and no one was watching the two of them. Lin Yi gave Han Xuewei a princess carry and tiptoed towards the bedroom. But before they could even enter the door, they encountered Aunt Wang in the hallway. Aunt Wang shook her head with a strange look after seeing them. It seemed the couple''s exploits had spread throughout the family. Han Xuewei immediately blushed, turned her head away, and leaned into Lin Yi''s embrace, too embarrassed to look up. Lin Yi was unfazed, as the elders in the family were all experienced and would surely understand his actions. But his little wife was always so shy! However, this meant he could now tease his little wife! Hehe! Finally back in the bedroom, Han Xuewei carefully packed away her dress, changed into her pajamas, and locked away the whole set of priceless diamond jewelry. It was still early, not even five o''clock, and the weather was very clear. Aunt Wang had washed and changed the three babies'' clothes and hung them out on the balcony. Right then, Han Xuewei''s dad''s voice could be heard from the kitchen! Turns out Han Xuewei''s parents had taken advantage of their free time to swing by, picking out a lot of groceries at the supermarket on their way. Han Xuewei''s dad let slip that he had something to discuss with his daughter and son-inw, and he was specially cooking avish dinner today. After changing into pajamas, Han Xuewei went downstairs to check on her parents. She had barely reached the door when she heardughter from the kitchen¡ªher mom and dad''s. You hear them before you see them, ah! As she approached the kitchen, she saw her dad wearing an apron, busy cooking, and chatting with his wife. Han Xuewei walked in, smiling and asked, "Dad, Mom, what are you two talking about?" Han Xuewei''s mom turned around, smiling, "We have some good news for you: after discussing with your dad, he suggested moving thepany here from our hometown to Xiangcheng. A good part of it is already prepared." Han Xuewei''s dad spoke cheerfully, "When our restaurant is up and running, we can even hold your wedding banquet there, and I''ll invite all our friends and family!" "Also, I''ve been exploring many new dishes these past few days! Maybe I can try them out at your wedding banquet for everyone to taste!" Your dad continued, relieved, "Thepany''s relocation site is set for Yantan District, at Expo Park ¡í7. We''ve already done an on-site inspection, and the pedestrian traffic there is very substantial, although we have potentialpetitors. Someone''s also trying to lease the same ce as us, a local from Xiangcheng¡ªthat''s why I''m worried whether we can sessfully rent it." Han Xuewei nodded in response, "Hmm, whatever ideas you and mom have, I support them, and besides, you won''t have to travel back and forth so much when it happens." Han Xuewei''s mom nodded, too, "Right, after discussing it with your dad, I decided to retire early¡ªthis year, actually! Retiring early might affect the pension, butpared to these three adorable babies, that''s nothing! Plus, I don''t need that little amount of money. Ah, when you get older, you just love the kids. I can''t stand not seeing them for a single day now. The babies have been growing so fast these recent days, and theyugh every time you make a joke, babbling non-stop!" "With the holidaysing up, I''ll move over once I''m off and be able to take care of all three every day!" Han Xuewei also expressed agreement, "Hmm, that sounds good. At your age, you should really start to take it easy. Otherwise, when dad moves here and you''re still alone at home, I''d worry. It looks like our whole family will be able to spend every day together soon!" "We should thank your father-inw and mother-inw for not minding. Plus, our son-inw is very capable!" Han Xuewei offered to help her dad with the work, "Dad, let me take over." "Oh? Are you sure you can do it?" He looked at Han Xuewei, puzzled, "As I recall, you seldom show up in the kitchen! Why do you seem like a different person today?" Chapter 98 Vivi Cooks After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s face turned red, "Dad, I already have a family, of course, things have to be different." "Besides, our family business is in the catering industry. If I couldn''t cook, wouldn''t that be a joke to others?" Han Xuewei''s dadughed heartily, "Yes, yes, it seems my daughter does have some awareness. If you can capture a man''s stomach, then you are sessful. Come on, let dad teach you some of the secret recipes I have umted over the years!" Han Xuewei also grabbed a spoon and tried to follow her dad''s movements, but she didn''t have enough strength, and several times she dropped all the vegetables from the spoon back into the pot. Seeing this, Han Xuewei''s mother hurried to interject, "Oh no, that won''t do. You can''t learn from your dad like that, he''s just a rough man who has been tossing spoons from a young age, and you haven''t even touched this before. This pot is just too heavy, you just watch from the side." Han Xuewei shrugged helplessly, smiling and saying, "Alright then, as youmand!" "Oh my, as a woman, you should have your own career no matter what, even if it''s a small one. You can''t depend on a man for everything, just like I do as a teacher, a quiet and proper job, even though your dad''s business is so big." "Summer vacation is almost here, so try to make up for the wedding banquet during my holiday, okay? It doesn''t matter whether it''s at our own restaurant or not, these things are actually not important." "Once we get the marriage back on track, there''s nothing else to worry about. The baby is born, and you should also go back to school to continue your studies. By the way, your dad ns to upgrade our catering business to hotel services after he moves here, and he needs to pull in some investments during this time." "However, your dad discussed it with me, hoping that Lin Yi could invest, because no matter what, this hotel will eventually be handed over to you two. We''ll talk about it at the dinner table, I''m just informing you in advance." Han Xuewei nodded, "Mhm, I understand. Lin Yi and I also discussed this, that after our wedding is made up, we''ll go back to finish our studies." "Mhm, I don''t know how his parents have arranged it, but if starting a hotel is too difficult, then continuing the catering business is fine too. This matter mainly needs to be discussed with Lin Yi." Han Xuewei said, "Mhm, if there''s ack of funds, Lin Yi will definitely help." "Lin Yi indeed has the ability, so we also want to hear his opinion on this matter." While continuing to toss the big spoon, Han Xuewei''s dad added, "Ah, the future belongs to the young. We will inevitably be phased out." "Haha, dad, please don''t think like that. In my eyes, you''re not old at all," said Han Xuewei with a giggling smile, "Dad, take a look, is this stir-fry okay? Can it be served now?" Han Xuewei''s dad turned his head to look, "It needs a bit more cooking, stir for another minute, and that should be enough." Han Xuewei thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "So, stir it sixty more times and it will be ready, right?" Dad Hanughed heartily, "Hahaha, thinking that way isn''t wrong." "Then that''s great!" At this point, Han Xuewei was already finding it hard to stand, able to endure only a few more minutes at most. Her feet felt as if they had lost all sensation, aching unbearably! Han Xuewei was in the kitchen cooking with her dad, while Tian Bei had been called to another room by her mother to talk. "Lin Yi, what''s going on with you? I''ve always said that we must be restrained in that regard. Have you seen how Vivi walks now? Ah, what am I to say? Of course, you should take care of your own wife!" Lin Yi defended himself with an innocent look, "Mom, aren''t you exaggerating a bit... I think she walks just fine. It''s just that we haven''t for quite a while..." Mother Lin said impatiently, "Then you must be extra careful in the future, you can''t be like this anymore! If you don''t listen, you''ll have to face the consequences." Lin Yi chuckled and said nothing more. After thinking for a moment, Mother Lin added, "Your dad has been quite busytely, letting him decide whether to relocate thepany or sell all his shares and retire in peace. He might need some time." Lin Yi nodded in response, "Mm-hmm, okay." Lin Yi wasn''t nning to tell his family about the building he owned yet, for with his current financial situation, buying thergest building in the city center wouldn''t be so simple. Moreover, in just a few days, he would be receiving the building''s rent¡ªthree billion! And that''s just for half a year''s worth. If he got his hands on that money, any venture his dad wished to pursue would have strong financial backing, and even if he wanted to start something on his own, there wouldn''t be any burden. Continue your saga on m|v-l''e -NovelBin After chatting with his mom about other family matters, Lin Yi headed towards the kitchen, as he needed to say hello to his inws. Hurrying downstairs and heading straight to the kitchen, he could hear Han Xuewei''s family''s joyful voices from afar. Upon seeing Lin Yi, his inws smiled and pulled him over, saying, "Come here, Lin Yi, you must try this dish. Vivi made it with her own hands; let''s see how it tastes?" With his interest piqued, Lin Yi stepped forward with a smile, "Oh? I haven''t had the chance to taste Vivi''s cooking yet; I must try it no matter what." Lin Yi picked up some chopsticks, took a piece of meat from the te, blew on it, and tasted it seriously. After tasting it, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Turns out Vivi''s cooking is so delicious! The heat control is just right, the meat is so tender, it''s crispy on the outside and juicy inside, very vorful, rich but not greasy..." "I definitely need to eat moreter; in short, it''s super delicious!" At that moment, Mother Lin also came over, "It sounds very tasty, let me also try some." Mother Lin took over the chopsticks from her son, also took a piece of meat, tasted it, and also gave a thumbs up: "Wow, it really tastes great!" Han Xuewei''s mother said from the side, "This dish is a new recipe that Vivi''s dad recently developed; he''s quite confident about it." Hearing everyone praise the dish, Han Xuewei nodded humbly with a flushed face. At this point, Mother Lin suddenly said, "Mother-inw, when Tian Bei (Lin Yi''s dad) gets home, let''s sit down and have a good talk, discuss the matter of holding a wedding celebration for Vivi and Lin Yi, what do you think?" Han Xuewei''s mother quickly nodded in agreement, "Sure! We were also looking for a time to discuss this with you. We have some other matters to talk about with everyone today. Let''s discuss it after lunch!" Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Family Meeting Lin Yi and Han Xuewei were naturally very excited to hear that their big day was to be discussed imminently. Nowadays, every child is a treasure, and as they are the only children of the two families, a life event as significant as a wedding has captured the entire family''s attention. Today''s sumptuous dinner was prepared by Han Xuewei''s parents. Seeing that Han Xuewei couldn''t be of much help, they let her apany the baby in the nursery. Lin Yi''s mother also helped in the kitchen, sparking lively conversations among everyone as they pitched in. By the time Lin Yi''s father got home, it was already half past six in the evening, and the three who had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon finallypleted a rich banquet. With many dishes served on the table, everyone sat together, basking in a harmonious atmosphere. The three little ones, having just been fed, were full of energy and showed no sign of sleepiness, so they were ced in their strollers and brought down to quietly lie by the dining table, munching on their fingers. The three babies were babbling away, almost as if they were conversing with one another. Because there were important matters to discuss, everyone quickly finished their meals and took seats in the living room. Aunt Wang had prepared a te of fruit for everybody. After some casual chatting, the group began today''s main topic. Lin Yi''s mother took the lead, "Inws, Vivi''s postpartum period has ended; it''s time we give the two kids a proper wedding. Let''s discuss the details of the wedding today." Han Xuewei''s mother said, "We''ve been thinking about this for a while but haven''t had the chance to bring it up. The wedding is a significant event for them, and we would like to hear what the inws think. What do Vivi and Lin Yi themselves want?" "We''ve previously mentioned the bridal price, but it''s still something we need to discuss formally." "We, as parents, had no idea that Lin Yi''s financial situation had be so good over the years, so the bridal price we initially suggested was based on the standards of an ordinary family. Now that circumstances have changed, Lin Yi, you could mention how much you n to offer as a bridal price to marry Vivi." Lin Yi and Han Xuewei looked at the four elders before them, exchanged smiles, and then Lin Yi stood up. "I''d like to first hear the thoughts of my father-inw and mother-inw. Please state your requirements first, and we''ll use those as the premise." After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s mother smiled and said, "We don''t really have any specific demands; Vivi is our Han family''s only daughter, the precious beloved of the family. The two of us really can''t bear to live apart from her; we just hope to live together with Vivi in the future." Experience more tales on m v|l e''-NovelBin "That said, we don''t necessarily need to move in. There are many houses for sale nearby, and Vivi''s dad and I can buy one. It''s not too far; just a few minutes'' drive away." Lin Yi''s mother quickly said, "Oh dear, inw, those words are just too formal. You''re Vivi''s parents after all; how could Lin Yi let you live alone in a separate house? Besides, it''s so convenient for the whole family to live together; it''s lively every day, and there are still many ways for Lin Yi and Vivi to honor you!" Lin Yi''s father also chimed in promptly, "Exactly, inws, you adore the three babies so much, and you can see the children every day; that''s a blessing! We would wee it more than anything!" Han Xuewei''s mother said somewhat embarrassedly, "It''s very kind of you to think so, dear parents-inw. We are very pleased. Lin Yi is truly a capable and good child indeed! You''ve raised him well. To take better care of the three children, I''ve already submitted my retirement application, so as to share the burden with everyone, allowing each person to have their own time." Lin Yi also hurriedly said, "There''s something Vivi and I have been keeping from everyone. Some time ago, I gave Vivi a vi. It''s located in New View Garden, number 3, with a total area of 970 square meters, which is much more spacious than the one we''re living in now. I n that when Vivi and I get married, our whole family will move in together." Both of Han Xuewei''s parents eximed almost in unison, "What? A 970-square-meter vi? Given directly to Vivi? Why didn''t you tell us sooner?" Lin Yi nodded and said calmly, "The deed only has Vivi''s name on it, so my parents-inw can rest assured and live there, after all, the homeowner is Vivi. Moreover, that vi is several timesrger than this ce. In the future, when the three babies grow up, each will have their own room!" Han Xuewei''s mother said excitedly, "Oh, Lin Yi, you are really too kind. If our whole family could live together, Vivi''s father and I wouldn''t ask for anything else." Han Xuewei''s father added, "Actually, I have another idea. I''d like to continue to pass on my culinary skills, perhaps by opening a restaurant in Xiangcheng." "Originally, I was thinking of starting big, opening a hotel, but that would take a long time to prepare, and I don''t want to wait too long. So, let''s use our ancestral brand ''Han Merchant''s Private Kitchen.'' Lin Yi, what do you think about this?" Han Xuewei''s father had initially thought of handing the restaurant over to Lin Yi and Vivi to manage, so he could take care of the three babies without worries. Moreover, Lin Yi wasn''t busy with much each day, and he held several stocks that hardly required his attention, so why not let them promote the ''Han Merchant''s Private Kitchen'' heritage with the vigor of the younger generation! Having only Han Xue as a daughter, his culinary skills, no matter how excellent, could not be passed on to her alone. If Lin Yi didn''t want to manage the shop, Vivi could run it herself, and when the time came, he would just help his daughter out. At this moment, Lin Yi was thinking that he had already mastered high-level cooking skills. If he were to use his culinary skills to open a restaurant, it would surely have an excellent reputation. So he readily said, "Father-inw, you can rest assured that I will fully support whatever Vivi wants to do in the future. If it everes to ack of funds, I can provide support at any time. As long as Vivi is willing, I will work hard alongside her!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s father nodded happily, "With your answer, I''m relieved!" In fact, before bringing up these ideas, Han Xuewei''s parents knew that Lin Yi would agree, as the inws and Lin Yi had always taken great care of them. At this moment, Han Xuewei''s mother was still joyful that Lin Yi had given her daughter a vi in the city! Furthermore, Lin Yi had generously given each of them ten million, more than enough for a lifetime and certainly sufficient for retirement! Nevertheless, there were still three babies who hadn''t grown up yet, and no matter what, even if it meant their old age would be filled with hard work, they were determined to carry forward the family legacy and provide a carefree environment for the children to grow up in. Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Dowry Even if their three children didn''t perform well in their studies in the future, with economic support, they could still let the kids do what they wanted to do, or they could be self-reliant through this time-honored restaurant. There is an old saying that if one generation sits idle, not striving or making an effort, then the next generation will have to endure the hardships in their ce. Han Xuewei''s parents were making the longest-term ns, always considering what was best for the babies. Although their considerations were long-term, this was simply the mindset of their generation, and there''s nothing wrong with that! With great excitement, Han Xuewei''s mother asked, "Lin Yi, what are your thoughts about your wedding with Vivi?" She had no other thoughts at the moment. Since Lin Yi had bought a vi specially for Vivi as their marriage house, and even asked them to live there, it closely aligned with the ideas of Han Xuewei''s parents. Lin Yi was simply the epitome of a good son-inw! Everything he did satisfied them, and in the future, even if he and Vivi had an argument, they would certainly feel it was their daughter''s fault! After hearing this, Lin Yi just smiled faintly and seriously said, "I would still like to hear Vivi''s thoughts on this matter. Vivi, do you have any requests for our wedding?" Han Xuewei thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Well, I... just want to wear a beautiful wedding gown and take vows with you. I''m imagining all these romantic scenes. As for the rest... I''ll just listen to you." Lin Yi''s parents exchanged nces and then asked, "We should hold a big banquet when the timees. Mr. Han, what do you think?" Han Xuewei''s father thought for a moment and then said, "My mother watched Vivi grow up. She''s old now and has trouble getting around, so she can''t travel far. I would like to find a time to take Lin Yi, Vivi, and the three children to visit her, so she can enjoy the happiness of having four generations under one roof. If possible, we should also invite and entertain all the friends and rtives from the hometown, as if celebrating with them." Lin Yi''s father pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, there''s no need for such trouble. Since we''re going to do it, let''s have a big celebration. Your hometown is only about two hundred kilometers from here. We''ll just hold the wedding banquet there, at least eighty tables I reckon! The more lively, the better, since we''re looking for festivity, we must properly entertain the rtives and friends." Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e''-NovelBin Lin Yi''s mother also added, "Yes, it''s not that far away. The round trip is just about two hours. We could leave early in the morning, arrive there before nine, and still have plenty of time to prepare other things. We could even hold a big event, arrive at the hotel by noon, finish eating within two hours, then sit together and chat, have some tea, and be home before evening without any issue." After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s father shook his head, "If that''s the case, then the day will be too rushed. Not only will nobody have a good rest, but the three babies definitely won''t rest well either. Just let you handle the wedding banquet, and there''s no need for so much fuss on our side; we''ll just casually entertain the rtives when we go back, and then let my old mother feel the lively atmosphere. Moreover, when you host the banquet, we from the bride''s side won''t bring too many guests, just a few tables of rtives we are close with is enough." "Having a post-wedding banquet does seem a bit rushed, and there''s no need to go through so much hassle." Lin Yi''s father said, "Since Mr. Han thinks this way, I will follow your wishes and do as you suggest! We could also take the babies to the hometown when they reach a hundred days old; it''s not a bad time for a banquet then either." As soon as Han Xuewei''s mother heard this, she immediately agreed, "Mr. Han''s idea is good too, it offsets the busy wedding days, so the schedule won''t be so tight." "Let''s settle this matter for now. Mr. and Mrs. Han, do you have any specific requests regarding the dowry? Just let us know, and we will do our best to meet your expectations." Han''s mother said, "Oh dear, you''re being too polite. We really have no particr demands regarding the betrothal gifts, it''s all up to your family! No matter how much is given, we will have no objections." "My husband and I are discussing the dowry for Vivi''s wedding¡ªwhether to give her a car, or to pick out an apartment in the city. I''m not sure what Vivi would prefer." Suddenly, Han Xuewei''s father interjected, "Or a shop." In fact, they knew that Lin Yi''s family currentlycked nothing, so whatever they chose for the dowry didn''t really matter. Han Xuewei''s mother gave him a look and said, "The shop is already included; it''s the one you''ve been talking about every day. That shop will be left to Vivi no matter what." Vivi''s dad smiled and nodded, "My wife is right, the shop cannot be counted in it." Something suddenly urred to Han''s mother, so she asked, "By the way, Lin Yi, the vi you bought in the city center, has it been furnished yet? Are you missing any appliances? Since you bought the house, the renovation costs should be covered by our family." Lin Yi exined, "Mother-inw, the housees fully furnished, and it even has all the appliances. You don''t need to worry about these things at all. Let''s all go see the vi together in a few days, and if we feel like something is missing, we can buy itter." Han Xuewei''s mother nodded, "You''re so thoughtful." Then she turned her gaze to her daughter, "Vivi, regarding the dowry, what would you like to choose?" Han Xuewei, seeing everyone''s eyes on her, shrugged helplessly, "I¡­ really don''t have any particr demands, I don''t know how to choose¡­" She truly didn''t know what to choose now, since she really wasn''tcking money. Lin Yi transferred a substantial amount to her every month, but she didn''t have the habit of spendingvishly, so she was able to save quite a bit each month. The wedding house had already been purchased by Lin Yi in advance, and the property deed was even in her name. Besides, there was also a car at home that belonged to her. The total of all Han Xuewei''s assets could now ce her among the ranks of the wealthy in Xiangcheng. Therefore, she really didn''t know what to choose at the moment. It was then that Lin Yi suddenly said, "How about this, I''ll make the decision for Vivi. When I took Vivi to buy a car, she chose one that was not too expensive, probably because she was reluctant to buy a very costly car!" Han Xuewei''s mother quickly said, "Then let''s settle on a good car for the dowry! It''s decided." After hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately retorted, "It''s several hundred thousand¡ªhow can you say that''s not expensive? And I''m quitefortable driving this car; I don''t want to change it." Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Five Golden Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets Lin Yi would sometimes let Han Xuewei drive his Range Rover, but the opportunity for her to take the wheel was quite rare. After all, with Lin Yi as her personal driver, it was naturally expected. Lin Yi said, "I''m just providing a reference for my mother-inw." If they really let Xuewei''s parents provide a house as part of her dowry, it could impact their goal of opening a restaurant, considering how costly buying a house can be. However, buying a car was different. He had previously given twenty million to the elders, which was more than enough to buy a good car. Han Xuewei''s father also chimed in, "Vivi, let your mother and me decide on this. We''ll choose a decent car. Even if you don''t want to drive, Lin Yi can take it out asionally. In any case, there must be a dowry." Without a better idea, Han Xuewei could only pout and say, "Understood." In truth, she didn''t have any particr demands; the dowry was of no consequence to her. Besides, other than formuting, she had no use for a car, so one worth several hundred thousand waspletely sufficient, while one worth over a million seemed wasteful to her since she was not a car enthusiast. However, Lin Yi believed that since no one had a better idea, he had to make a suggestion. Since the car he bought for his wife was indeed the cheapest, it should be somewhat presentable as a dowry, to avoid idle gossip. Moreover, his parents-inw would definitely want to give their daughter a bit more face! Now that the dowry had been agreed upon, it was also appropriate to discuss the bride price. Lin Yi was well aware that his parents-inw wouldn''t dictate the amount of the bride price. If he didn''t bring it up, it would be difficult to negotiate a figure. At that moment, Lin Yi took the initiative to say, "How about this? Since no one is mentioning the bride price, I''ll suggest a figure¡ªnine million, nine hundred and ny-nine thousand yuan, symbolizing longsting fortune. It''s an auspicious number, right?" Han Xuewei''s mother quicklyughed and said, "That''s enough, it''s too much." Nowadays, when ites to bride prices, many people just look for a numerically auspicious figure¡ªit''s a kind of modern romance, I suppose! Lin Yi had already given them ten million each, which was quite a generous gift! If they demanded too much more, it would make people think that the Han family was selling their daughter, especially since this bride price was already quite high locally! "So are we agreed on these matters? For the wedding banquet, my family will take care of it, and we will also entertain guests from the bride''s side," Lin Yi''s father stated on the spot. Han Xuewei''s parents had no objections and nodded their agreement. Thus, the arrangements for the couple''s bted wedding were quickly settled: Han Xuewei''s parents would provide a nice car as part of the dowry, Lin Yi would personally offer a bride price of nine million, nine hundred and ny-nine thousand, and Lin Yi''s parents would handle the banquets for both families, also ensuring to furnish the bride with jewelry. Lin Yi''s mother had, in fact, already gone to the jewelry store and purchased a considerable amount of gold and silver jewelry, including several pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, spending over a million in total. However, since the children''s wedding details had not been fully set, she had not told anyone else. After all, marriage is a significant event in life. And since Lin Yi is the Lin Family''s treasured son, his mother definitely wants to splurge this time. However, the business had seen a downturn recently, so she had been more frugal with her spending. If it hadn''t been for the ten million her son had given her to splurge with, she wouldn''t have been able to buy all that jewelry! With the wedding settled, it was time to visit Han Xuewei''s grandmother''s home, to check in on her, and to make arrangements for the necessary banquet, ensuring a proper celebration. After sitting together for a while chatting, Han Xuewei''s father suddenly said to everyone, "Today I sent someone to check out that shop we were interested in before, it''s at No. 3 Expo Garden in Yantan District. It''s a duplex structure, with the firstyer having an area of 180 square meters, and the secondyer is twice the size of the firstyer. It''s definitely big enough, and the rent is not that high." "However, there''s a new problem now. Recently, when I was nning to rent this shop, I encountered apetitor, a cateringpany from Xiangcheng. They also have their eyes on this ce. Since I''m from out of town, I might not have much of an advantage in thepetition. I wonder if any of you know someone rted who could help speak on my behalf." Lin Yi started to think it over; he had heard about Expo Garden in Yantan District a long time ago. Just walk five avenues to the east and you''ll reach Yantan. The Expo Garden is actually just a big street, and it''s not very far from here. The Expo Garden used to be bustling, it was also one of the earliest city centers. At that moment, Lin Yi also suddenly remembered that on the day he took Han Xuewei to the charity g, he had overheard a conversation around the corner, discussing news that the Expo Garden in Yantan District was about to be expropriated, which was supposed to happen within the uing month. If his father-inw rushed to rent that ce now, he would face the oue of losing arge sum of money! The investment into the decoration would go down the drain! "Father-inw, do you know which cateringpany ispeting with you for the same shop?" Lin Yi wanted to understand the background of this cateringpany first. He determined that this cateringpany must be somewhat famous; after all, Expo Garden in Yantan District has arge flow of people and not a small amount of rent. Their ability to take over that spot indicates that they have considerable strength. Moreover, Yang Fan''s family also works in catering, and they have the capacity as well. Speaking of Yang Fan, it''s necessary to talk about his personality. He''s extremely mboyant in his actions, and almost all students at the school are aware of his family''s wealth and know about hispany. He also heard recently that Yang Fan''s familypany was nning to expand their scale. It must be said that their cateringpany really does a good job; it is an up-anding star in recent years, with a certain local reputation. If it''s theirpanypeting with Han Xuewei''s father, there really is a significant gap in strength. Han Xuewei''s father took out his phone, looked at his notes, and then said, "The name of thatpany is Kaiyue. They''re also quite famous locally." "Ah? Kaiyue Catering Company??" Lin Yi was startled after hearing that! By a stroke of ironic luck, that was Yang Fan''s familypany! Talk about enemies on a narrow road! He hadn''t yet found the right opportunity to give Yang Fan and Li Jingwen a bit of hardship! Having just shifted his scheming to Han Xuewei''s side, Lin Yi had to take this chance to get his revenge! Han Xuewei''s father seemed to notice Lin Yi''s expression at that moment and asked curiously, "Do you know about this Kaiyue Catering Company?" Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Kaiyue Catering Company Lin Yi smiled and then answered, "It''s more than just hearing about it, thispany belongs to a ssmate of mine, their family business, and it has been developing really well in the recent years." Han Xuewei''s dad couldn''t help but shake his head, "It seems I won''t be able to secure this location, I''ll have to choose somewhere else." Lin Yi suddenly said, "Father-inw, maybe the people you sent didn''t do thorough research? Didn''t they hear about the uing acquisition of Bn Street?" Han Xuewei''s dad said, "I heard about that news early on too, but people have been saying for years that the area would be acquired and demolished, yet all these years have passed with no progress. There shouldn''t be any problems in the short term, right? The foot traffic there is much more than I expected, I think it''s a very suitable choice." Lin Yi didn''t know how to exin to his father-inw, but he instinctively felt that the conversation he had overheard that day was very likely to ur. So he thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea. He directly said to his father-inw, "I''ve heard a lot about the uing acquisition recently, we should be more cautious! How about this, tomorrow I''ll apany you for an on-site investigation, and I can share my thoughts. A friend of mine just so happens to have a shop for rent, located right in the city center at the Wenqu Building. His dad is a shareholder of that building, we could also take a look there. Byparing the two locations, we won''t be hanging our hopes on one tree." Han Xuewei''s dad agreed, "That makes sense, let''s go have a look tomorrow! We''ll make a decision afterparing the two." "Let''s go early tomorrow to have a look, the sooner we handle this the better, I''ve been worrying about it every day!" Lin Yi said, "Then I''ll tell my friend right now, and the two of us will go have a look tomorrow." "Hmm!" Lin Yi''s mother, overhearing their conversation, couldn''t help but be surprised: "Lin Yi, I didn''t know you made so many friends in college! Even the Wenqu Building belongs to them, their business is massive! He''s really a bigndlord!" Lin Yi hurriedly exined, "That... they''re just partners I met through doing business... We got to know each other through... the investment in ''Fortune Baby'', it''s just a coincidence. I''ve seen them a few times, I believe we can settle this matter too." Explore more at m,v l''e-NovelBin Han Xuewei''s dad nodded, "As the saying goes, one more friend means one more path. It''s good to make more friends, Lin Yi is a good kid!" Lin Yi could only give a dryugh, with embarrassment written all over his face... How could he tell others that he was the real owner of the Wenqu Building! Lin Yi was now focused on finding out exactly what happened the night of the charity g. Then, he intended to give those scumbags a taste of their own medicine and take his revenge! After chatting with his family for a bit, he returned to his room and made a phone call to his good brother and roommate, Qiang Hengxuan. After all, the guy had his finger on the pulse of the school''s gossip news! He was very active in campus events and had acquaintances in every club or department, making many friends, hence his extensivework! If you wanted to inquire about anything at school, you could go directly to him; you wouldn''t be wrong! After the two got on the phone, Lin Yi greeted him, "Bro Qiang, what have you been busy with these days?" On the other end of the phone, Qiang Hengxuanughed and said, "What would I be busy with? I''m sure I''m nowhere asfortable as you! Spinning around with your wife and kids every day without a care in the world. We should hang out together sometime. Speaking of which, didn''t you hold a full month celebration for your three babies?" Lin Yi suddenly pped his forehead, "Ah, I''ve been so busy recently that I actually forgot about it." Reminded by this, Lin Yi also recalled the matter, which he had nned quite early but inadvertently pushed to the back of his mind. His parents were busy doting on their grandchildren every day, and perhaps his inws were too polite to mention it. He and Han Xuewei, being new parents, were naturally prone to overlook some matters. So such an important event was overlooked! In the future, such negligence couldn''t be allowed; he would have to bring it up in the group chatter! After hearing this, Qiang Hengxuan burst intoughter, "I was wondering, you''re so rich now, you wouldn''t skimp on the cost of a full month celebration for the children, right?" "Sigh, it''s my first time being a dad, I really did overlook a lot. If you hadn''t reminded me today, I would have totally forgotten." "Alright, I know you wouldn''t miss out on these things. We''re all about to graduate but you went on leave to take care of your wife and kids at home. Suddenly calling today, do you need some important help from me?" Lin Yi quickly said, "As a matter of fact, there is something quite important. I''vee across some issues recently and wanted to find out through you what Yang Fan has been up totely?" Qiang Hengxuan became puzzled after hearing this, "Why are you suddenly asking about him? You should know he''s with your ex-girlfriend Li Jingwen, right? It''s almost spread throughout the whole school! Are you thinking of getting revenge on the two of them, or do you want to find out about some other affair of his?" Li Jingwen and Yang Fan were both very high-profile in their conduct, so once they got together they were bound to be very showy, almost wishing they could unt their love every day! Lin Yi coldly said, "The reason for revenge is because those two provocatively targeted me first! They even had designs on Han Xuewei! You think I could tolerate that?" Only then did Qiang Hengxuan realize that Lin Yi was really out to protect his wife! "Not bad, now you''re protective of your wife like this. What on earth did the two of them do? Even someone as mild-mannered as you is seeking revenge; what exactly happened?" Lin Yi: "This matter is quiteplicated, and it''s not convenient to tell others. Speaking of which, what have the two of them been up to at school recently?" Qiang Hengxuan said, "On the surface, all is calm. After all, everyone is busy preparing for graduation. However, just after finishing the exams and at the end ofst month, the two of them started talking about breaking up, and since then, a video started circting in the school." "The video features Li Jingwen, Yang Fan, and her roommate Chen Fei¡ªthose three in a room having a threesome! No one knows what happened, it just looks pretty chaotic! I can send it to you if you want to see it. It''s two hours long! But the version that''s circting now has definitely been edited by others; key content has been deleted. You can imagine how sensational the original must have been! Hahaha!" Chapter 103 Video Leak Lin Yi, upon hearing this, didn''t have much of a reaction, relieved that he had double-locked the front door when he left. Otherwise, such an embarrassing video might have never stopped spreading! Qiang Hengxuan then added, "The only pity is that the environment in the video is a bit dark, the lighting somewhat dim. It''s a shame no one turned on the light; otherwise, it would have been even more thrilling... I''ll send it to you right away, maybe you''ll be able to recognize Li Jingwen!" Lin Yi quickly said, "No! I don''t want to see that kind of footage! And I definitely won''t listen to anything about Li Jingwen ever again! The only reason I called was to confirm something, are Yang Fan''s family''s cateringpany nning to open a new store?" Lin Yi didn''t care to pay attention to such things! Qiang Hengxuan thought for a moment and then answered, "Seems like there is such a thing. A few days ago while drinking, he was showing off about it to others, saying that the new store''s location is pretty good, with a lot of foot traffic. Yang Fan also said that as soon as he graduated, he would go there to manage the ce!" "Their cateringpany is called Kaiyue Catering, and the new store is also named Kaiyue Fang. Due to the special location, they''ve invested quite a bit this time, and he''s even celebrated in advance by dining there with a few close friends!" "A friend told me that the new location of Kaiyue Fang was personally chosen by Yang Fan, but for some reason, they haven''t secured that ce yet. If it really opens sessfully, the daily turnover will be substantial!" Lin Yi continued to ask, "Is there any other news?" Qiang Hengxuan: "Eh, that''s about it. These days everyone''s worried about finding jobs, who has the energy to care about other people''s business. We''re not like you; you''re notcking anything now." Lin Yi said, "No way, Bro Qiang,pared to your family, I''m far behind. Are you still worried about money?" Qiang Hengxuan burst intoughter after hearing this, "Let''s not talk about this anymore. I''m giving you a heads up; we have to have a taste of your child''s full-moon banquet before we graduate! You better not miss this one. Seriously though, I never conceded to anyone in our four years at college, but I''m really impressed with you! You even managed to get the school belle to bear you three kids! Right now the entire school is discussing your story; you''re truly a person of the moment!" Qiang Hengxuan was quite clever; whenever the conversation drifted towards himself, he would shift the topic, which was a skill in itself. Lin Yi: "We''re going to have our wedding ceremony soon, so there will be plenty of feasts to attend, just be patient!" "Hahaha, that''s going to be too hectic to join in on! Why not do it all at once? After your wedding banquet, you still have to hold a full-moon party for the baby, and then there''s the hundred-day celebration. Don''t you find it troublesome? So pick a good day, andbine it all; it''ll be much easier that way." Lin Yi thought it over and found it indeed to be a good suggestion. There would be many friends and rtives from both sides at his and Vivi''s wedding, so it would certainly be lively enough. If they were to wait until then, the most suitable time would likely be the baby''s hundred-day celebration! Lin Yi said with a smile, "Thanks for the reminder, Bro Qiang." Qiang Hengxuan: "Eh, what''s there to thank? Don''t be so formal." The two chatted about other matters for a while, then each went back to their own business. Lin Yi learned through Qiang Hengxuan that a lot had been going on at schooltely. To his surprise, that charity g he attended turned out to be a major debacle, even involving a video of three people, which was now widespread throughout the school! Serves them right! They got what they deserved! But now that Lin Yi had confirmed that thepetitor for the parcel in Yantan District''s Expo Park Number Three was indeed Yang Fan''s familypany, things became much easier to handle! He sneered, "Still dreaming of opening your store? Keep dreaming of your riches! With this golden opportunity, I will make sure you pay through the nose this time!" Lin Yi had already nned many things in his heart. Although the expropriation of Exhibition Garden was not yet officially confirmed, the conversation he had overheard at the charity event was enough to confirm it for him. But how could he use this to make Yang Fan bleed? At this thought, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind! His father-inw must know the contact number for that rental shop; he needed to get the number from his father-inw, then just... Your next chapter is on m v|l-e''-NovelBin Soon, Lin Yi had settled on his n. He took out his phone and directly sent a voice message in the "Happy Family" group chat. Lin Yi, "I just remembered something very important. We forgot about the babies'' full moon celebration feast! I was reminded of it by a friend, and I think we should make it up to them!" Han Xuewei, "I was just talking to Qin Xiaoxu, and she brought it up too. I suddenly realized that I had forgotten as well¡­" Lin Yi''s mom, "Oh dear, look at what I''ve been thinking about all day! How could Ipletely forget something like this." Lin Yi''s dad, "Let''s set a date to make up for it quickly! We can''t dy it any longer..." Han Xuewei''s mom also posted a very surprised emoji in the group, "I''ve been so busy these days that I forgot about the kids'' thing..." Han Xuewei''s dad asked hurriedly, "Then when should we set it for? Does anyone have any good ideas? We can talk about it today. It''s my first time being a grandpa, and I''ve been a bit careless..." Not just him, everyone present was a first-timer! Truly, each more careless than thest! It was then that Lin Yi suddenly suggested, "I have a suggestion. Considering the babies are already over two months old, we can just wait for the hundredth day and have a hundred-day celebration feast. And we couldbine it with Vivi''s and my wedding! How about that?" Lin Yi''s mom quickly said, "That''s perfect. I''ve already checked with someone, and there really aren''t any good dates for a wedding this month, so let''s wait a bit longer. Let''s n to do all these things together in September! Make it a grand event!" Lin Yi, "I think that''s perfect too. We can bring the babies to Vivi''s grandma''s ce in advance to liven things up." "Aftering back from there, we''ll hold a big wedding, and at the same time, we''ll celebrate the babies'' hundredth-day feast. There are many good dates in September, which is pretty convenient." Lin Yi''s mom, "Let''s discuss it first, and I''ll ask that gentleman for the best time to set the date. I''ll post it in the groupter." Han Xuewei''s parents hurriedly said, "Alright, please do us the favor then, dear inw mother." Lin Yi and Han Xuewei also expressed their agreement. After putting down the phone, Lin Yi pondered how to take his father-inw to see the shop at Wenqu Building. He immediately dialed the property manager''s mobile number at Wenqu Building. Chapter 104 Where is the Wedding Photo? It was just a few seconds after the call went through when a response came right away, "Mr. Lin, hello, how can I assist you?" Lin Yi got straight to the point, "Here''s the thing, I''lle to the building tomorrow to select a shop space, but it''s not for me to rent, it''s for someone else. When that timees, just say you''re in a hurry to lease it and try to lower the rent as much as possible, you understand?" After all, he was a general manager who had fought his way up in the workce. How could he not understand Lin Yi''s implication? He immediately knew that Mr. Lin would definitely bring rtives and friends to rent shops the next day. Following that, Lin Yi continued, "The personing with me tomorrow is my father-inw, so you should know what to do!" Jiao Xingbiao kept agreeing over the phone, "Understood, understood! Mr. Lin, please rest assured, I will take care of this matter and will personally wee you when you arrive!" Lin Yi: "Hmm, I''ll be at the building around ten o''clock tomorrow morning; I''ll be counting on you then." Jiao Xingbiao: "I will be sure to wee you on time!" Under normal circumstances, even with highly esteemed visitors, Jiao Xingbiao wouldn''t need to make an appearance, but now it was different; he couldn''t wait to volunteer and also had the chance to meet this young boss! After confirming the time, Lin Yi hung up the phone. Then, he mentioned Han Xuewei''s father in the chat group: "Father-inw, how about we go to the exposition garden in Yantan District at eight o''clock tomorrow morning? Let''s first check out the shop space you are interested in and contact thendlord. We''ll say we''re very keen on taking over that ce. Then we''ll head over to Wenqu Building, where my friend said there''s currently a 1,700 square meter shop space, and he has already arranged for someone to meet us tomorrow." Han Xuewei''s father replied in the group, "Hmm, okay. But since we''re choosing between two, why do we still have to say that to thendlord? Besides, I''m not sure if we can really get the rental." Lin Yi replied with a light smile, "It''s okay, just say that for now! I guarantee that the spot at Wenqu Building will definitely catch your eye; it''s so much better than the exposition garden in countless ways!" "Okay! Got it, you should rest early then." "Hmm, will do." After discussing the matter with his father-inw, Lin Yi tiptoed into the baby room to take a look at the three adorable little ones! He had been really busy these days and hadn''t had the chance to see the babies'' babbling antics! The moment Lin Yi entered the baby room, he saw his mom and two maternity matrons each holding and soothing a child. He walked slowly towards his little daughter and lifted her into his arms. "Little Mengmeng! Have you missed daddy these past few days?" Lin Yi carefully held his daughter, supporting her little head with his hand. After all, the baby wasn''t even a hundred days old yet and couldn''t hold up her head. At this stage, the baby''s body is growing rapidly, and her bones are very soft, so he had to be extremely careful. But for some reason, soon after he held her, she started crying, her small face turning red as if protesting against daddy for not holding her these past few days! Lin Yi hurriedly soothed her, "Don''t cry, don''t cry, Mengmeng, be good; daddy wille to hold you every day, okay?" The little one seemed to understand what he said, as she stopped crying after being coaxed a bit, although her face remained flushed and pitiful. After calming his daughter, Lin Yi handed her back to his mother and then turned his attention to the other two little ones. These two were already asleep; it must be said, the sight of them peaceful and quiet was truly adorable! While Lin Yi watched the babies lovingly, he was reminded of the system hint in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host! You have held the baby for fifteen minutes and have earned a reward card." "This card is an all-purpose card that can be used anytime, anywhere." Upon hearing this, Lin Yi became puzzled, "All-purpose card? What does it do?" "The host can use the all-purpose card at any time, just swipe it, and you can exchange it for anything you need. There is one limitation to the card''s use¡ªit can only be exchanged for items rted to the children." Only then did Lin Yi have an epiphany, "Ah, I see what you mean now!" He racked his brains for a long time, but for the moment, he couldn''t think of what things rted to the children he might need right now? There''s no rush. Let''s just set this card aside for now, believing that one day it wille in handy. While Lin Yi was still pondering, his mom began to instruct him, "Lin Yi, you can''t keep doing this. You haven''t held the baby for several days. What the babies need most for their growth is their parents''pany! Once they start talking, they will cling to you every day!" Lin Yi quickly promised, "I know, Mom. Don''t worry, I''ve just been a bit busy these few days and neglected them a bit. From now on, no matter how busy I am, I will still make time for my family." Lin Yi''s mom continued, "We can take our time to discuss the new date for your wedding with Vivi, but before the ceremony, shouldn''t you at least have some proper wedding photos? Otherwise, what are we going to show everyone? I''ve never heard of anyone getting married without wedding photos!" As soon as his mom finished speaking, Lin Yi had an epiphany! Ah! How foolish! I''ve been so foolish! To have been with Han Xuewei for so long and to forget about the children''s one-month celebration is understandable, but forgetting to take wedding photos with Vivi is too much! At the same time, Lin Yi deeply felt that he owed Han Xuewei far too much. After Han Xuewei got pregnant, she moved in with him, and they quickly got married, followed by a smooth delivery of the baby. Yet all this time, other than the proposal, Lin Yi hadn''t given her a very formal ceremony! He had to admit he had made a significant mistake. "Ah! Mom, I''m so d you mentioned the wedding photos today, or I would''vepletely forgotten about such an important thing!" Lin Yi hastily said. Although it''s a bitte to take wedding photos, if we start preparations these next few days, it should still be possible. After hearing this, Lin Yi''s mom was also quite annoyed and pped Lin Yi''s head, "Aiya! I don''t know what''s going on in your head! You don''t even take care of such matters yourself!" Lin Yi certainly didn''t want to hear his mom nagging anymore, so he hurriedly ran back to the bedroom! But just then, Han Xuewei was taking a bath! As Lin Yi pushed the door open, he heard the sound of running water. He cracked a mischievous smile. Approaching the door, he deliberately asked, "My dear wife, may Ie in for a moment?" Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Restraint Impulse Han Xuewei was startled upon hearing him, and almost jumped up. "Don''te in! I''ll be done with the shower soon!" She really was scared! Just hearing Lin Yi''s voice while bathing made her legs involuntarily clench together! Her body was nearly trembling! Last night and today, she had been truly terrified by Lin Yi''s torment! Tonight, she just wanted to sleep soundly, and wanted nothing else! But Lin Yi''s thoughts seemed totally different! For some reason, as soon as he saw Han Xuewei, a strong desire would emerge from the depths of his heart, uncontroble, sparking various thoughts in his mind. Upon hearing Han Xuewei''s response, Lin Yi could only calmly say, "Oh, then I''ll wait a bit longer." Perhaps Han Xuewei could detect a hint of dejection in Lin Yi''s tone, and suddenly her own heart felt empty. She understood very well that during the ten months of her pregnancy and the confinement period, Lin Yi had restrained himself entirely and never considered seeking other women. Han Xuewei could now understand why Lin Yi had been so frenzied these past days; it was all within reason. At his vigorous age, how many men could truly restrain their nature for a year? Thinking about this, Han Xuewei''s feelings towards Lin Yi were mixed with pity. It''s just that today, she was simply too tired. After wrapping herself in a bath towel, seeing Lin Yi''s pitiful expression made Han Xuewei''s heart ache. "Um... husband, go take a shower," she told him. Lin Yi responded, "Mhm, got it." After speaking, he got up and headed towards the bathroom. Lin Yi had also been worn out from all the craziness fromst night to this morning; he should heed his mother''s advice and exercise some restraint. He must control his impulses! While showering, he couldn''t help but reminisce about the previous night''s events. An urge surged up inside him once again! Lin Yi promptly switched the hot water to cold, hoping to sober up a bit. After showering like that for a few minutes, he started to feel a bit calmer. But he knew that the urge was like a time bomb¡ªa bomb without a timer, ready to explode at any moment! He went back into the bedroom to find Han Xuewei already sound asleep. Reflecting on his actions, realizing how exhausted he had made Han Xuewei, he decided not to do anything but quietly lie beside her and rest with his eyes closed. It''s safe to say that the cold shower had had some effect; he no longer had such desires. But the moment hey next to Han Xuewei, a fragrant scent wafted over from beside him¡ªit was Han Xuewei''s body fragrance! The aroma, mingled with a faint milky scent and still warm, flooded over him. Instantly, the urge Lin Yi had suppressed within him burst forth like a torrent breaking through a dam! He could feel his body heating up noticeably! This feeling was agony! It was like giving meat to a bear; once tasted, it would crave it every day! Han Xuewei seemed to be talking in her sleep, making soft, low moans as she slept. This was almost too much for Lin Yi to bear! Gradually, he started to move his hand. Maybe it was because Han Xuewei was exhausted and sleeping deeply, in a half-dream state she felt something strange happening to her body, wondering if the vivid memories ofst night were causing simr sensations in her dreams. But in the middle of the night, when Han Xuewei nned to get up to feed the babies, she suddenly realized Lin Yi''s hand was actually behind her... She wasn''t dreaming just now! All the sensations were real physical reactions! Looking at the now asleep Lin Yi, Han Xuewei didn''t know whether to be angry or tough. She hurriedly got up, took a quick shower, and then headed to the nursery. The next morning, Lin Yi naturally woke up at 7:30. Today he had an important matter to attend to with his father-inw! He couldn''t forget about that! He hastily went to the kitchen and saw his father-inw having breakfast; fortunately, he wasn''t toote. The two chatted while eating and then drove off toward the exhibition garden in Yantan District. They had arranged a meeting time in advance with the shop owner, and after waiting for about ten minutes upon arrival, the owner hurried over. Han Xuewei''s father went up to greet him first, "Hello, homeowner! Today, my son-inw and I havee to take a look, his name is Lin Yi." Then he said to Lin Yi, "This is the owner of shop No. 3, Old Sun." "Mr. Sun, hello," Lin Yi greeted. "Hello, hello, Mr. Lin, you should be aware of the rental prices in this area, right? You can see the crowd flow here, and the price I''m offering is absolutely the market average, 180,000 a month! After all, this shop is in high demand, and if you think it''s too expensive, then you''ll have to look elsewhere. There are others who want to rent this shop space right now," the owner said. Listening to this, Lin Yi smiled faintly and then said, "Are you referring to the people from Kaiyue Catering Company?" Thendlord replied, "Hmm, it seems you''re well informed already. Let''s speak frankly then. Kaiyue Catering Company has offered a high price, 190,000 in rent monthly, and it was thepany owner''s second son who came to discuss it personally! However, he said he couldn''t make the decision on his own and needed some time to discuss it with his dad. If you can''t make up your mind soon, I''ll have to rent it to him, as he will give me an answer before tomorrow." Lin Yi smiled slightly, then took out his phone and showed thendlord a message, smiling lightly, "Mr. Sun, about your shop¡­ Is it really worth this price?" Just then, coincidentally, Yang Fan and his father and brother arrived at the location; they were also there for an on-site inspection and happened upon Lin Yi. Before they approached, that familiar voice was heard from afar. "What a coincidence, Mr. Sun, this is..." Yang Fan and hispanions slowly came over, inquiring as they approached. He certainly knew it was Lin Yi, but he still didn''t understand why this man would be here and what he intended to do. Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Competitors Lin Yi was slightly taken aback when he saw Yang Fan, then he put his phone back in his pocket. Landlord Sun hurriedly answered, "They have alsoe to see the third shop." It was then that Yang Fan realized, thendlord had mentioned someone else also wanted to rent this ce, but he didn''t expect it to be Lin Yi! So he turned his head and said to the two people behind him, "Dad, big brother, wasn''t I right? It''s not just me who''s interested in this shop; the business here is definitely booming." Then, he turned back to Lin Yi and asked, "Lin Yi, what exactly do you n to do with this ce?" Lin Yi didn''t care about Yang Fan in the slightest, and said nonchntly, "What else could I do? Exactly what you''re doing!" At that moment, Yang Fan''s gaze lingered on the man next to Lin Yi, and after a while, he slowly said, "Ah, could he be the clueless financier you''ve brought along? I remember your family does not run a catering business." It was then that Han Xuewei''s father spoke up, "He is my son-inw." Yang Fan''s eyes revealed a trace of surprise; he hadn''t expected him to be Han Xuewei''s father! But even so, what of it? If they were here to snatch the shop from him, he wouldn''t be soft-hearted! Immediately afterward, he whispered to his father and brother, "This ce is really great. There''s no better location than this. Dad, big brother, this is a golden opportunity! We mustn''t miss this chance no matter what! And I''m about to graduate soon; you all want me to join society and grow quickly, don''t you? You have to trust my judgment; this investment will definitely make a fortune!" "Dad, you trust me, right? There''s no way I''ll be wrong about this!" Yang Fan had already boasted in front of his ssmates, so no matter what, he had to open the shop quickly! Otherwise, his reputation and credibility would be utterly lost! That would be somewhat embarrassing! After hearing this, Yang Hongwei nodded and said, "Hmm. I can trust you, but don''t let me down. For leasing, renovation, and all other expenses, I''ll give you a budget of 8 million! If you don''t earn back half of the costs in your first year of operation, then don''t think about joining the management team." It was true that Kaiyue Catering Company had been founded single-handedly by Yang Hongwei. However, the current Kaiyue Catering Company was a product of financing, with Yang Hongwei being thergest shareholder now. If his second son, Yang Fan, wanted to enter the management level, he needed the agreement of other shareholders. So for them, opening a store was not difficult, but if they wanted topete for the management levelter on, they would have to demonstrate undeniable capability that would satisfy everyone, just like what his eldest son had done! Yang Hongwei held the same expectations for his two sons, both with the hope that they would be sessful. At that moment, Yang Fan assured his father with a pat on his chest, "You can bepletely reassured! I will put in more than my full effort this time!" He always believed that his judgment and investigation were wless. After all, this was the old downtown area withpletely sufficient surrounding facilities, and there was no need to worry about foot traffic. Wasn''t this an excellent spot that guaranteed profits without losses? Yang Fan had already made up his mind; no matter what, he was determined to get this shop! Then he said to the two of them, "Dad, big brother, although the rent here is high, 190,000 is still within our affordable range, right?" And just at that moment, Yang Fan''s elder brother, Yang Zhen, also chimed in, "Dad, I''ve already had someone survey this area once, and overall, the location and the n for Later Stages business operations are perfect, with absolutely no room for error." Yang Hongwei looked up and surveyed the surroundings before turning his gaze to the two brothers, and finally nodded in satisfaction. The matter was settled! Seeing his father persuaded by himself and his elder brother, Yang Fan then walked towards Lin Yi, high-spirited and jubnt. But as Yang Fan approached, Lin Yi caught a glimpse of Yang Fan''s brother, Yang Zhen, whose mouth corners lifted slightly to reveal a strange smile that nearly went unnoticed by others! It looked rather sinister! If it weren''t for the fact that Lin Yi happened to be looking at Yang Zhen, that expression would have been missed entirely! And through that instant, he was almost certain that Yang Fan''s brother was no simple character! Could it be... The thought had barely crossed his mind when Lin Yi decided to use the ability granted by the system as a reward¡ªthe Art of Appraisal! It was, after all, his first time using this ability! Why not test it out today to see its effectiveness? "Report to the host, if the host wishes to use a certain ability, merely utter its name to activate the skill! For example, say ''Use Art of Appraisal'' towards the person you wish to identify, and the skill will be sessfully triggered." Lin Yi finally understood. He didn''t expect the skill to be so convenient to use, being able to discern whether the person identified was good or bad almost instantly. Immediately after, Lin Yi''s eyes were fixed intently on Yang Zhen as he silentlymanded, "Art of Appraisal! Activate!" System: "Please wait a moment, host. Identification in progress." Before a moment had passed, the system replied, "The identified person harbors a scheming heart, is deceitful, highly calctive, and constantlyying ns. One must not associate with such a person." As Lin Yi listened, he pondered, "So he''s quite a scheming person..." Indeed, having seen the expression on Yang Zhen''s face just earlier, Lin Yi had already guessed as much. Upon uncovering the truth, Lin Yi was also surprised, "Could it be... Yang Fan''s own brother set him up? To even scheme against his own flesh and blood, this is too much..." However, thinking about it, this wasn''t all that strange; after all, in well-to-do families, many brothers who are as close as hands and feet would stop at nothing for their own interests, especially whenpeting for inheritance or fighting for power. Moreover, Lin Yi had listened clearly just a while ago¡ªif Yang Fan could get the store up and running, there was a chance for him to reach new heights in the future! But if Yang Fan were to take a management position, his brother''s interests would inevitably be affected. So, it would be better to y some tricks and make Yang Fan out to be an inept businessman, a wealthy second-generation who only knew how to y. Then, Yang Zhen could take control of the power all by himself! And no one would threaten his position! This move was truly ingenious! It had to be said that this person was incredibly ruthless, not even sparing his own brother when inflicting pain! However, Lin Yi was well aware that all this had nothing to do with him, and he couldn''t manage these affairs. It appeared things were bing even more interesting! Originally, Lin Yi had nned to inform Mr. Sun, thendlord here, that the entire street had been requisitioned and would soon be demolished, then persuade Mr. Sun to rent to Yang Fan at all costs, ideally jacking up the rent! But looking at the current situation, things were obviously different now! At the same time, Lin Yi felt an eagerness to watch how events would unfold. Chapter 107 Going with the Flow Today, I really did a bit too much. But now that things havee to this point, I might as well go with the flow! Thinking of this, Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly, even starting to feel a bit of sympathy for Yang Fan! If Yang Fan knew that after such a long time spent selecting the shop and the hefty sum he poured into renovations, it would be forced into demolition, his expression would certainly be priceless! I''m afraid by then, he wouldn''t even have the chance to regret it! I wonder if the video that went viral at the school recently has been seen by his dad and brother? If those two knew about the big fuss he caused at school, and then learned about the store he spent so long preparing and the huge amount of capital he invested not earning a single cent, he won''t be able to hold his head high in the Yang Family anymore! Hehe, I am actually quite eager to see just how miserably you''ll lose. You shouldn''t have messed with Lin Yi. Otherwise, out of ssmate camaraderie, I might have lent you a hand! But it''s toote to say anything now! Yang Fan hurriedly ran up to thendlord, Mr. Sun, and respectfully said, "Landlord Sun, you must have heard of our Kaiyue Catering Company''s reputation! Our strength is also self-evident! Rather than trusting those insignificant minor roles in the industry, why not cooperate directly with us? I believe our cooperation would definitely be long-term, not the kind that leaves after a year or two. Plus, if you agree, I can offer 200,000 a month for the rent! We can sign the contract in two hours!" Han Xuewei''s dad got upset upon hearing this, as their Han family''s private kitchen had been handed down for generations! The reputation and vor of the dishes were naturally beyond question! Since when had they be insignificant minor roles? For a moment, Han Xuewei''s dad was so angered that his face turned a bright red! This was when Lin Yi pulled his father-inw aside and whispered in his ear, "Father-inw, it''s okay, it''s not certain yet." Han Xuewei''s dad had no choice but to try to calm himself and turned his attention back tondlord Sun. As for thendlord, a beaming smile spread across his face, for the oue of this matter was already decided. As a businessman, who would refuse money? Seeing thendlord''s expression, Yang Fan knew that the deal was almost sealed. "A fixed price of 200,000 a month for the rent! And it can start from this month!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Sun eagerly agreed, "Great, great, let''s do it at the price you said. I''ll rent it exclusively to you! Let''s sign the contract in a moment!" At this point, thendlord couldn''t contain his excitement, as if he feared the ready meal might fly away, he quickly agreed to the offer! He knew very well in his heart that the price Yang Fan was offering was the highest, and seeing that half of this month had already passed, yet the tenant was willing to pay rent starting from the current month, it was a surefire profitable deal! At this time, Yang Fan looked at Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s dad with a smug face, his expression filled with pride! When Lin Yi saw his schadenfreude, he just smiled lightly without saying much, then turned his head to thendlord and said, "Mr. Sun, then congrattions on sessfully leasing out the ce. We will look elsewhere, farewell." Thendlords also expressed their apologies to them, "Sorry about this time, gentlemen. If there''s an opportunity in the future, we can cooperate again." Upon hearing this, Lin Yiughed and said, "That''s how business is. They offered a higher price, so it''s reasonable for you to lease to them." Having said that, Lin Yi took his father-inw and left. However, his father-inw was still preupied with the perfect location they just left and couldn''t help but mutter, "Ah, it would be hard to find a better ce than this. It would''ve been so good if we could''ve struck a deal! Absolutely a guaranteed profit!" Lin Yi, of course, noticed his father-inw''s thoughts but kept silent and merely drove his father-inw toward the Wenqu Building. The time was not toote; they might even arrive half an hour early. When Lin Yi parked the car at the entrance of Wenqu Building, he saw the property manager, Jiao Xingbiao, along with a few people,ing out to receive them! There were three people waiting at the entrance, including the property manager at the very front, who clearly had an air of authority about him, followed by a man and a woman dressed like assistants. Each was more respectful than thest. Jiao Xingbiao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, hello! I am the property manager you spoke with over the phone; just call me Xiao Jiao." Then, he turned to Han Xuewei''s dad and inquired politely, "May I ask who this gentleman is?" Lin Yi answered, "He''s my father-inw, Mr. Han." After Jiao Xingbiao stopped, he immediately straightened up and said very respectfully, "Mr. Han, a pleasure to meet you!" Lin Yi and his father-inw might then have shaken hands with the three of them. The two assistants also came forward to greet them. Lin Yi then said, "Let''s go up and take a look at the shop now, shall we?" As soon as Lin Yi spoke, Jiao Xingbiao immediately made an inviting gesture, "Of course, right this way, please!" He led the way in front, and the two assistants followed at the back. As they were heading upstairs, Han Xuewei''s dad whispered to his son-inw, "Lin Yi, doesn''t this atmosphere seem a bit off? These people are extremely respectful towards you, even though he is the manager of this building; he acted as if he were seeing a boss when he saw you?" Lin Yi exined without changing his expression, "Well, one of the shareholders of this building is my friend''s father, and I have a pretty good rtionship with that friend, so naturally the manager treats me as if I were the young master. If the hospitality isn''t good enough, he could lose his job!" Even though Lin Yi''s voice was quiet, it could be heard very clearly in the silent surroundings. Especially the leading Jiao Xingbiao, who shivered upon hearing Lin Yi''s words. Whatever you say, there''s no help for it, since you''re the boss, right? After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s dad seemed to ponder for a moment, "That makes sense; seems about right." It wasn''t long before an emptyrge storefront came into view! Jiao Xingbiao stood in front of the store then turned around and introduced earnestly, "This is thergest remaining shop we have here at the moment. The shop has a duplex structure, and if you include the external rooftop space, both floors together exceed one thousand square meters." "This is the biggest building in the city center, so you don''t have to worry about the traffic at all. Over two thousand people work in this building every day. May I ask what you gentlemen have nned?" Han Xuewei''s dad quickly exined, "I n to open a private kitchen restaurant and wanted to find a ce with arger crowd. It seems this ce is indeed quite suitable!" Upon finishing, he turned to Lin Yi and quietly said, "Lin Yi, this location can definitely be ranked as the best in the city, and it''s so spacious. The rent must be pretty high, right? Anyway, it must be at least two or three hundred thousand more than the rental fee of Bn Garden, right?" Chapter 108 Sign the Contract Although it has only been a few years since this ce was designated as the city center, it developed from a high-tech district! It is also themercial center of the entire city! Therefore, you can imagine how prosperous it is here, and it will only increase in the future. Seeing such a prime location, Han Xuewei''s father was not only worried about the rent but also anxious about whether his out-of-town restaurant could integrate into the local market. To truly establish a strong presence here would be quite difficult. If they really rented this golden area, they would probably have to lease it by the year, which would only increase his concerns. Jiao Xingbiao saw the two whispering to each other and felt a multitude of emotions. Just two days ago, Kaiyue Catering Company had inquired about renting this ce, offering a rather generous amount. They offered a monthly rent of 600,000 right off the bat, which even tempted him! If it hadn''t been for Lin Yi calling him with specific instructions, this shop would have already been taken! Just then, Lin Yi gave him a meaningful look, and Jiao Xingbiao understood immediately. So he stepped forward and said to the two, "Both of you, this is indeed a golden spot with arge space. Everyone must think our rent is astronomical. (And it is.) That''s why some people gave up without even asking the price. This shop has been vacant for almost half a year now. To rent it out as soon as possible, our strategy is to lower the rent. Now, it''s only 190,000." Han Xuewei''s father brightened up immediately, his face one of incredulity as he looked at everyone around him. Only 190,000? This is the center of the city, thergest building for miles around! The rent is so low! Isn''t this a great opportunity? Jiao Xingbiao, seeing Han Xuewei''s father''s strange expression, clenched his teeth and directly said, "170,000! That''s the lowest we can go! You can sign the contract today¡­" "We''ll take it! We can sign the contract right now!" Han Xuewei''s father interrupted Jiao Xingbiao! Even if it were 190,000, he would have definitely signed! Not to mention 170,000. He had no hesitation whatsoever! Jiao Xingbiao looked at Lin Yi, who showed no expression, then continued, "The thing is, we have a rule here. Although the rent is lower, the contract has to be for a minimum of five years." Han Xuewei''s father promptly replied, "Fine, that''s not a problem!" With a monthly rent of only 170,000, making a profit was certain. Even if they ended up running at a loss, it wouldn''t be too severe¡ªit would at least be within his tolerance! Lin Yi coughed softly and said, "Let''s not talk about other things. If it''s possible, let''s sign the contract now." Han Xuewei''s father eagerly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Let''s sign the contract now! The sooner the better¡ªI''ll be at peace once this matter is settled." About 20 minutester, both parties had signed the contract, and Han Xuewei''s father was already beaming with joy! "Lin Yi, we''ve really got ourselves a bargain today! Your friend is very reliable! This ce is a hundred times better than I imagined! Ah, finally, this matter is resolved. Now we just need to contact the decorationpany!" "It''s such a great deal. They didn''t charge us any rent for the first two months and specially set aside time for us to decorate, which is really lucky!" Seeing his father-inw so excited, Lin Yi also felt quite content inside. Meanwhile, Yang Fan had also signed a two-year lease in one breath. He couldn''t be more thrilled at this moment! But the na?ve Yang Fan could never imagine that behind this transaction, a conspiracy was lurking! Once everything was settled, Lin Yi thought of going to Kaiyue Hotel for a meal with his father-inw to taste the dishes and check the level of service, among other things. On hearing this, his father-inw also agreed, as knowing yourpetition is the key to winning battles! Your next read awaits at m v|l-e''-NovelBin After discussing, they let their families know not to expect them back for lunch. Lin Yi looked up the nearby hotels and restaurants under Kaiyue Company and drove them there directly. The hotel had both a Chinese and a Western restaurant. The Western restaurant was a buffet,cking corepetition, so they were more interested in the Chinese cuisine. As soon as they entered the hotel, the lobby manager greeted them enthusiastically, providing excellent service. As they walked, Lin Yi noted the interior decoration was simple yet tasteful, even somewhat luxurious. Strictly speaking, it was not yet lunchtime, but looking around, the Chinese restaurant''s main hall was almost fully seated. They were led to the only vacant seat in the hall by the waiter, close to the restroom. Although they had no other choice, there was a partition separating their seat from the restroom. The Wenqu Building centralized all restrooms in one area, and the restroom in their leased shop was also tucked in a corner, at least not so close to where the diners sat. Before they even ordered, they were already a bit discontent. Even though they arrivedte with no reservation, they didn''t expect to be seated in such a spot! And he was convinced that any customer seated in this ce would haveints! After reluctantly taking their seats, they picked up the menu and started looking at the featured dishes. They were determined to try everything today! Without much hesitation, Lin Yi ordered every dish marked as featured. The waiter, noticing Lin Yi had chosen all the featured dishes, reminded them, "Our portions are quite generous. You don''t need to order so much; you might not be able to finish it all." Lin Yi smiled and replied, "We''re from out of town and heard that your dishes are good, so we specially came to try them." The waiter then said, "Since you two want to try the featured dishes, as there were many customers this noon, our kitchen will be a bit busier, so we hope you can wait patiently." That wasn''t really an issue, and Lin Yi didn''t mind. He flipped through the menu and then said, "It''s fine, we can wait. In the meantime, could you serve us a pot of health tea?" "Certainly, we have a variety of health teas. Which type would you like? We have ones for replenishing Qi and blood, and others for expelling dampness." "Expelling dampness." Lin Yi, upon seeing words like ''health'', suddenly remembered he had to write a nutritional menu for Han Xuewei when he returned! This was something that required careful study and time. A few minutester, the waiter brought over a pot of tea and poured some for them. Lin Yi and his father-inw sipped the dampness-expelling tea while patiently waiting for their food. Just then, from the other side of the partition near the restroom door, there arose a deep male voice. Chapter 109: Chapter 109 A Conspiracy "President Yang, will Yang Fan really enter thepany''s management in the future? I don''t find his abilities to be very outstanding, but it seems the Chairman intends to focus on developing him further. You should understand, once many positions are assumed, they are hard to withdraw from. If he really is cultivated, you..." Just as this person was speaking, another voice sounded from nearby. "You needn''t worry about that. This matter, I will handle at my discretion. I''ve reached my position today by being cunning. Wanting to enter thepany''s management? Hah, he''s still far from making it!" When this voice spoke, Lin Yi immediately realized that the man was none other than Yang Fan''s brother¡ªYang Zhen! Yang Zhen gave a coldugh and continued, "A week ago, I had already obtained the expropriation information for that area. I guarantee that within one month, the whole street will be demolished! And the information about the shop being up for rent, I deliberately told him about it. I didn''t expect that guy to act like he had found treasure, and he jumped right into the pit! Rest assured, I won''t give him that opportunity! If he fails this time, he can forget about ever rising again!" Find more chapters on m_v l|e-NovelBin After saying that, Yang Zhen let out another coldugh. The man at his side understoodpletely and joined in, "Haha, President Yang is indeed brilliant!" "Enough, we shouldn''t speak too much, for walls have ears," said Yang Zhen, and without looking back, he went up the stairs with the other man. Watching his retreating figure, Lin Yi shrugged helplessly, it seemed everything was exactly as he had anticipated! Han Xuewei''s father also happened to overhear the conversation through the partition. He looked up just in time to see Yang Zhen leaving, paused for a moment, then excitedly said, "Lin Yi, did you hear that? It''s good we didn''t snatch up that ce! Otherwise, we would have surely suffered a massive loss!" Lin Yi just smiled faintly and replied, "A misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." The father-inw sighed in relief and gratefully said, "Yes, indeed, I was still worried about the shop issue. I had no idea that today, not only would we find a better option but also avoid a disaster. Thanks to your help! Otherwise, I might have been tempted to raise the price and try for it! It''s good you were here!" While the two were still discussing this, the ordered dishes were gradually served to the table. Lin Yi and his father-inw tasted each dish in turn, feeling that these specialty dishes were indeed quite good, although they were nothing particrly impressive. Among these signature dishes, there were also a few that were Western cuisine, which seemed quite ptable. After tasting these dishes, Han Xuewei''s father didn''t feel much, and even pointed out several shorings of some dishes, but he wasn''t very familiar with Western cuisine. So he thought for a while, then said to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, when the private restaurant opens, should we serve only Chinese cuisine, or should we incorporate Western cuisine as well? Nowadays, young people generally ept Western cuisine, so we should consider this consumer group. Maybe we''ll even need to hire a few chefs who specialize in Western dishes." After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi said, "Actually, as long as we bring out our own characteristics in Chinese cuisine, we already have corepetitiveness. If possible, we can also add Western cuisine. After all, we need diversity to cater to most people''s tastes." Han Xuewei''s father agreed with the suggestion, for with changing times, a businessman must cater to the prevailing consumer attitudes and making some attempts is not out of the question. The only thing to consider now was the operational n. As they ate and discussed, Dad Han also shared his many years of experience with Lin Yi. And so, they talked until three o''clock, and now it was time to return. Today, Lin Yi had finally helped his father-inw resolve a major concern, and he himself could rx now, looking forward to sleeping in for the next few days. And Han Xuewei could also breathe a sigh of relief. Lin Yi called the server to pay the bill and then headed back home with his father-inw. They were both eager to get home and see the three babies, who were growing faster by the day; each day, they seemed a bit different, so just one day apart made them incredibly missed. The two had left early in the morning and hadn''t even nced at the three little ones before departing. Before long, they both returned home, bringing with them some desserts from the hotel. Lin Yi burst excitedly into the bedroom, intending to share the day''s joy with his wife, but as soon as he entered, he found Han Xuewei still fast asleep, so he tiptoed out of the room and headed to the nursery next door. The little ones had just been fed, and at the moment they were busy babbling away with the adults. Lin Yi''s mother and his mother-inw were holding the brother and sister, while Aunt Wang was soothing the eldest. Han Xuewei''s father brought the desserts into the kitchen and then joined everyone in the nursery, saying, "We''ve brought back some desserts for everyone to enjoy as afternoon tea. There''s plenty so the two maternity matrons can have some as well." Han''s mother said, "Yes, the babies just had a bit too much milk. We''ll go down as soon as we''ve finished burping them. It will be soon." Lin Yi''s mother, knowing that Lin Yi came specifically for Mengmeng, handed the little girl to him. As soon as Lin Yi took his daughter into his arms, he saw her face light up with a joyful smile. His mother and mother-inw quietly left the nursery. Aunt Wang said, "It''s okay, I''m not in a hurry to eat. I''d rather keep an eye on the children. After all, you guys can be quite careless sometimes and may not take good care of the babies." Lin Yi and his father-inw exchanged a smile upon hearing this. The eldest and the second child seemed to realize that their dad was only doting on their sister and not holding them, which made them unhappy, and they immediately started to cry loudly. His father-inwughed heartily at the sight of the two little ones and said, "What''s the matter, notfortable with grandpa holding you? Why so reserved?" "It''s alright, it''s alright, in a few more days your grandfather will retire and look after you full-time at home!" With that, Dad Han''s face was brimming with joyousughter! In the afternoon, he volunteered to cook, nning to prepare avish dinner. This dinner was to celebrate the sessful reservation of the shop! Of course, Lin Yi also made a gesture, opening a bottle of expensive wine to celebrate. Since nobody was much of a drinker, each person only took a few sips. After all, this high-priced wine was meant to be savored carefully, not to get drunk on. Han Xuewei was currently breastfeeding, so it was best for her to staypletely abstinent from alcohol! After everyone had dinner, the babies woke up from their nap. Lin Yi rolled out the stroller, and the whole family nned to go for a walk to dispel the effects of the alcohol. Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Two Vicious Dogs So, the babies were ced in the stroller and pushed out. It was only then that Lin Yi realized that he had moved here for such a long time without really taking a good walk around the neighborhood, barely familiar with itsyout. It seemed like a good opportunity today to check out the area, just take it as a chance to rx and get some fresh air. Chatting andughing along the way, they hadn''t walked far when suddenly, at a small intersection, tworge dogs dashed out from somewhere at great speed. And they were skas! The two skas unexpectedly charged at the strollers carrying the elder baby and little sister Mengmeng! Everyone barely had time to react, caught off guard by the sudden scene, and was hugely startled! Thankfully, Lin Yi was quick-witted and fast, stepping forward to block the dogs, delivering a sideways kick that sent the dogs flying aside! Due to the urgency of the situation, he had used almost all his strength, and the two skas were kicked several meters away, yelping. The poor little ones in the stroller, having never experienced such a fright, all started crying loudly! The family was in a frantic hustle to lift the babies out of the stroller, each trying to soothe them! Mother Lin was immediately annoyed and raised her voice in reprimand, "Whose big dogs are these? Can''t you at least keep them on a leash when going out? Don''t you know this can scare people?" Just as Mother Lin was speaking, a young couple came around the corner of the road up ahead. The woman defiantly yelled back, "The dogs are ours, what about it? It''s your own fault for not watching where you''re going. We also have the right to be here! It didn''t kill anyone, so why are you making such a fuss?" Lin Yi and his mother, not used to taking such nonsense, were immediately triggered, "These two beasts are yours, aren''t they? Don''t you know that dogs must be leashed nowadays? Why do you think you''re the exception?" The volume of both parties escted, and their quarrel quickly drew the attention of onlookers, and soon, arge crowd had gathered to watch themotion. The woman previously had heavy makeup on and with a scornful nce, she continued arrogantly, "Heh, leashes? You expect me to leash my dogs just because you say so? Please, this is right in front of my house, I won''t leash them, got a problem with that?" Han Xuewei''s mother frowned slightly, patiently exining, "Just now, these tworge dogs rushed towards our strollers, and the children were all scared and crying. If they frightened other ying children, it wouldn''t be good. Theserge breeds can be quite aggressive, and if they started to bite, the consequences would be unthinkable! Today''s incident was truly dangerous!" The man beside her was still dismissive, "Heh, our two dogs have pure bloodlines! They might even be more precious than your little kids by a long shot!" "It was you who kicked our pets just now, wasn''t it? We should be the ones to settle the score first, right? Howe you''re the one to speak up first??" Meanwhile, Lin Yi''s mind shed with the system''s notification! "Ding! Congrattions, host, for sessfully protecting the baby during a moment of danger! You have earned a system reward." "The reward is fifty-two percent of the stock ownership of Romeo Security Company! From this moment on, you are the major shareholder of this securitypany!" "Ding! The system detects that the host is currently in a crisis and can seek help from the securitypany with the push of a special emergency button. Once this special emergency button is activated, High Level security will appear by your side within three minutes to provide assistance. Would you like to activate the button now?" Lin Yi nced at the man and woman before him, thinking that the two were quite arrogant, but surely they wouldn''t pose too much of a threat to him, right? At the same time, he wondered why the system was warning him that he was in imminent danger. Lin Yi looked down and realized that the two skans were baring their teeth at him and growling softly by his side, leading him to understand the reason for his rm. Without hesitation, he said, "Activate the button now!" "Host''smand received, the button has been activated! High Level security will soon appear at your side to solve all your problems!" Only then did Lin Yi feel relieved. This man is really too arrogant, isn''t he? How can hepare his babies to two dogs! The three mothers present immediately took offense, with Mother Lin and Han''s mother cursing outright, expressing their dissatisfaction loudly! "Do you even know how to speak? What kind ofparison is this? How dare youpare our babies to those two beasts of yours?" "How could you have such low standards?" "It was clearly your fault to begin with, not leashing your dogs while walking them. Now you''re turning around and biting back, ming us? Don''t you have any sense of morality?" Because they couldn''t scare the children in their arms, they were already showing great restraint! But the arrogant couple felt that the family was an easy target and raised their voices even higher in dispute, "Our doggies are also our children! Are only your children precious?" "Why can''t wepare? Dogs are alive too, dogs are also family. When I say they are our children, they are our children! Do you have a problem with that?" "This is right in front of our house. Is there a problem with us taking a walk here? Besides, we don''t have to leash them here, do we? If you''re unhappy, you can go somewhere else! Nobody''s forcing you toe here!" the heavily made-up woman said disdainfully. At this moment, a buzz of discussion started among the crowd. "I had a quarrel with this couplest time too. They are notorious for being unreasonable." "Looks like someone''s going to suffer again." "This isn''t the first time a fight has broken out because of a dog. These tworge dogs they keep have hurt several children before! There have even been cases of women being knocked down by them; it''s really too dangerous! If someone gets bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable!" "And the three babies in the stroller don''t look very big. It''s just that there was no stroller just now, and no harm came to the kids!" "Although their doorway is on my way home, I usually choose to walk around it. The sight of their two dogs makes me nervous now!" Lin Yi had sharp ears, and from the crowd''s chatter, he could tell that this couple''s reputation was not very good. Mother Lin was still not over it and wanted to continue arguing, but at that moment, the sound of uniform footsteps caught everyone''s attention! Following the noise, the crowd saw seven or eight men dressed in neat suits and of impressive stature walking quickly towards them! Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Preside Over Justice Meanwhile, a few patrol uncles were nearby. These tall, ck-clothed men came straight over, using their bodies to encircle Lin Yi''s family members in the middle! Readtest stories on m_v-l''e|-NovelBin At this point, everyone but Lin Yi was taken aback, staring dumbfounded at these burly men of unclear origin. Lin Yi, however, was very calm. "Don''t be afraid, they are High Level security personnel, especially hired by me. They are here to protect our entire family!" Lin Yi said lightly. After hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They had indeed been frightened by the imposing manner of these men and had thought they were the couple''s bodyguards! Since the babies were still crying fiercely, everyone was nowforting the children and had no time to care about anything else. The patrol uncles, who had apanied the security, were also quick to approach the couple and question them. "We received an emergency call from the residents of themunity, reporting an incident with arge dog attacking people. Are these two dogs yours?" The leader of the patrol team, a tall man, went straight up to ask. However, the couple remained defiant and self-willed in the face of the sudden appearance of the security and patrol officers. "Both dogs are mine. Who reported it? How can they tantly lie? Where is the injured person? Who was hurt? Isn''t everything fine here? We''re just taking a walk in front of our house; what''s the problem with that?" The captain of the patrol team said sternly, "ording to the city''s public safety regtions, residents who take medium torge dogs into public ces not only need to have them on a leash but must also put a muzzle on them to avoid disturbing others. These are basicmon sense, surely you must be aware of them?" "Do your two dogs have licenses? Have they been vinated?" At that moment, a person who had been standing by for quite a while quickly stepped forward and showed his phone to the patrol uncle. "Comrade, when the incident urred, I happened to be nearby. I started recording a video as soon as they began arguing. You can have a look for reference." "Thank you for providing the clue; we will watch it now." The patrol officers gathered around to view theplete footage captured by the resident. It showed the entire sequence of events after the altercation broke out between the two families, as well as the arrival of the security and patrol officers on the scene! Although the video did not capture how the tworge dogs lunged at the stroller, and how Lin Yi kicked them away, bystanders all testified for Lin Yi, indicating the young couple was at fault first, but they refused to admit it and even cursed loudly! Seeing almost all the bystanders expressing their discontent, the patrol officer sternly reprimanded them. "We have already watched the video, and you were insulting others here. Do you know that is wrong? Moreover, it vites rtedws. If you insult someone, the victim can seek help immediately, and you are about to receive criticism and education! At the same time, you may be detained or fined! If the circumstances are serious, you can be detained for ten days!" "In the video, you were the first to insult others, and when your mistake was pointed out, you did not repent but replied with abusivenguage. Such medium torge dogs must be leashed when going out! Also, do your dogs have licenses?" The couple, who had been creating trouble and being unreasonable, hadpletely failed to realize their wrongdoing and continued to argue defiantly, "What does it matter if we have a license or not? What does it mean if we don''t? It''s none of your business!" "ording to the city dog-keeping regtions, your practice of not using a leash has seriously vited the relevant uses. We will now give you both a verbal warning, and at the same time, there will be a fine! If you show no remorse and maintain a bad attitude, your dog license will be seized! From now on, you will not be allowed to have a dog! If you do not have a dog license right now, that is illegal! We also have the right to take direct custody!" The couple tried to argue, but the captain of the patrol team, seeing their behavior, knew they were the type to be unreasonable and signaled the apanying officers with a nce. The other members of the patrol quickly surrounded them, attempting to subdue them, but the tworge dogs began to bark aggressively! The High Level security personnel protecting Lin Yi''s family immediately pulled out a device resembling a taser and swiftly moved forward to stun the tworge dogs! Afterpleting this action, the security personnel backed away and no longer interfered with the situation on the scene. The captain of the patrol team sternly announced, "Take these two people away for now, and temporarily confiscate the two dogs as strays! Today they have alsomitted another offense¡ªobstructingw enforcement!" But to everyone''s surprise, the couple continued to resist fiercely while shouting angrily, "What are you doing? Do you know who I am? What right do you have to arrest me? I warn you in advance, you will be held ountable for your actions!" The patrol team captain, still stern, dered, "I''ve already made the reasons clear, and before I am held responsible, it''s you who must be ountable!" Anyone who knew the captain would say that if Xiangcheng had to choose the fairest, most impartial, and most courageous patrol officer, he would rank second, with no one daring to im the first! Even if you have powerful connections, in his hands, everything must be handled ording to thew! It must be said, this arrogant and domineering couple has finally been sanctioned! Indeed, it is a delight to everyone''s hearts! And at this moment, severalw enforcement vehicles parked nearby, and a few patrol officers disembarked! "Captain!" "Take them all, along with the two dogs, back to the station!" Just like that, the couple who were so arrogant just a second ago, were now adorned with a pair of cold handcuffs at this moment. Seeing the couple with faces of misery being escorted onto thew enforcement vehicle, and the tworge dogs also being lifted into the van, motionless throughout the process. Perhaps it was because the taser was too powerful! This scene also led to apuse and cheers from the onlookers, as today someone had finallye to discipline them! After arranging everything, the patrol team captain approached Lin Yi''s family and apologized, "I am truly sorry, we did not notice this issue before, which has brought inconvenience to your life!" At this moment, the three babies had calmed down and were quietly lying in their stroller, sleeping soundly. Lin Yi expressed his gratitude, "I should be the one thanking you for upholding justice for me! Otherwise, I really would have had no way to deal with those two!" The onlookers also expressed their thanks, and the patrol captain soothed them, "Please rest assured, in the future, any reports we receive will be dealt with as seriously as today! To provide everyone with a pleasant living environment, please disperse now." Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Romeo Security Company Only after the enforcement vehicle had driven away, and the onlookers gradually dispersed, did Lin Yi have the others take the three babies back home first. At this moment, the captain of the security team from Romeo Security Company approached with great respect and said to Lin Yi, "Mr. Lin Yi, we apologize for ourte arrival. I hope you and your family weren''t frightened?" "We are high-level security personnel from the Romeo Security Company. I am the captain, my name is Zhou Jiai. From today onwards, you can entrust the safety of your family to me. Please rest assured!" Lin Yi smiled calmly and said, "Well, thank you for that. Now, I''m going to take my family home. You don''t need to worry about us anymore." Zhou Jiai nodded and said, "Okay, thepany will send my personal contact information to youter. My phone will always be avable. If you encounter any problems, please call me directly." As of now, Lin Yi still didn''t quite understand why the system had rewarded him with a securitypany? He needed to find out as soon as possible what the purpose of this securitypany was, and how these security personnel were able to arrive at his side within a few minutes? Wasn''t this a bit too bizarre? Lin Yi felt somewhat puzzled by this unexpected scene. Thus, he decided that his first step was to investigate the background of this Romeo Security Company and the nature of their services. Consequently, Lin Yi let his family go home first and also instructed the security team captain to withdraw. Lin Yi couldn''t help but wonder, could Romeo Security Company really be this straightforward? He walked and thought, and casually sat down on a bench by the roadside. Driven by a strong curiosity, he opened a search app. And just as he finished reading the messages in the pop-up, he was so astonished that he almost jumped out of his seat! This securitypany was indeed not simple! The introduction about it also surprised Lin Yi! It was not just an ordinary securitypany. Apart from security tasks, Romeo Company also undertakes important missions such as escorting and convoy, with military-style management and not short on high-tech equipment. Romeo Security Company''s operations had already spread across the entire globe, even in some inconspicuous small countries, there were branches of Romeo Security. Because of such strength, they had their own intelligencework. Any political or military events urring in any country or region around the world, would be included in theirwork. The information in their hands was far moreprehensive, more urate, and timelier than that of other securitypanies. What others could find out, they could find out; what others couldn''t find, they could also find. It was such a securitypany, with registered capital reaching as high as fifty billion yuan! Moreover, the headquarter of this securitypany in Huaxia employed personnel who were all retired from special forces, truly the elite of the elite, and undoubtedly, they were also experienced in live ammunition and battlefield trials! So it''s not an exaggeration to say that no matter how dangerous or difficult the mission, as long as the funds were in ce, they would take it on without hesitation! And, wherever Romeo Company was present globally, any individual or group that wanted to contend with them would surely be intimidated! Lin Yi also realized an exceptional detail, that Romeo Security Company was strongly supported by the state! Enjoying a number of special privileges, with just these, this securitypany could already be regarded as an ace in the industry! Looking at the fifty-two percent ownership in his hands again, it was an invaluable asset! Even if you had the wealth, couldn''t buy even one percent of the shares! So, at this moment, Lin Yi hadplete control over a formidable system! After checking out the key information he had searched, Lin Yi found no words to describe the shock he felt inside! It had to be said, among the many rewards received from the system, this one must be the most valuable! If its value cannot even be measured by money! Lin Yi was also convinced that the information about Romeo Security Company he found online was still very one-sided, and some of the details not suitable for public disclosure would definitely be even more unbelievable! He had now be thergest shareholder of what could be called the strongest securitypany! Even though he was wealthy before, his social status had been unchanging, but this new identity had turned everything around overnight. In the whole of Huaxia, this status was already considered very high! And his social standing would be extraordinary. Money does not represent power, but power and money can be equated. This special identity was something wealth could not measure! Although today''s Lin Yi possessed the Wenqu Building valued at tens of billions and held shares in manyrge enterprises, at the end of the day, he had no status whatsoever in Xiangcheng, a nobody. But he never imagined that a casual stroll with his family could turn into such a fortuitous reward! It could already be called the most hardcorepany in history! This system was too powerful, wasn''t it? If he had known, he would have taken his family out for a walk a few days earlier! What made Lin Yi most relieved was that now his entire family had received the highest level of protection, beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was precisely because he had stepped forward to protect them during their babies'' crisis that he received such a special reward! After pondering for a while, he immediately dialed the number of Zhou Jiai, the captain of that security team he had just met. "Mr. Lin Yi, do you need assistance with anything?" Lin Yi got straight to the point, "Your security team can protect my family 24 hours a day, right?" Continue reading at m|v-l''e -NovelBin Zhou Jian responded, "Yes. However, we protect you covertly without affecting your daily life in any way." Lin Yi replied, "Good, I understand." Actually, he just wanted to confirm his own guess; at this moment, words could not describe his excitement! Zhou Jian continued, "Mr. Lin Yi, if you encounter anything difficult to handle, you can contact me directly. Our service range is very broad. For example, whether you want to investigate a person or apany, I can assist you with that." Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was so surprised that he couldn''t close his mouth! However, since he was still on the phone with Zhou Jian, it wasn''t proper to show any loss ofposure, so heposed himself first before calmly replying, "Um, I got it." Chapter 113 Great Satisfaction He hung up the phone and immediately burst into a happy dance! After imagining all sorts of things outside for a long time, Lin Yi finally returned home. Upon seeing their sone back, the family hurriedly approached him, all of them asking with concern. "Dad, Mom, Vivi, how did it go with calming the babies down? Are they still crying?" His mother-inw quickly said, "The other two are okay, but our little Mengmeng was the most frightened. She cries from time to time. Girls are more timid by nature. The babies are all napping now; there shouldn''t be any major problems." Han Xuewei anxiously walked over, grabbed Lin Yi, and sat down together on the living room sofa, where the family started chatting. Lin Yi''s mother, looking a bit worried, asked, "Those bodyguards looked strong and mysterious. Who are they?" They had been too anxious earlier to check on the children to ask for details about what had happened! Lin Yi then smiled and said to his family, "A few days ago, I signed a contract with a securitypany to hire a team to protect our family''s safety. I didn''t expect them to be so efficient, they came as soon as something happened." Lin Yi''s mother suddenly realized and said, "Ah, I see. I didn''t get a chance to ask when you hired bodyguards?" Lin Yi replied, "Mom, I''m just concerned about our family''s safety. Nowadays, society is full of all kinds of people. We have many babies, and it''s difficult to take care of them in public. It can be really dangerous if a child gets older and more mischievous and runs off. So hiring a securitypany is more convenient." Lin Yi''s mother nodded thoughtfully and said, "You''re right. It''s good that you thought this through. We''re getting older, and there are times when we can be a bit careless with the children." Just then, Lin Yi''s phone started buzzing with a barrage of message notifications. He checked it and saw that they were messages from the homeowners'' group. Lin Yi''s mother leaned over to take a look, and then said, "What are they discussing in the group? It looks like they''re talking about what just happened to us!" Lin Yi said, "Yes, the gentleman uploaded the video he took, and now many homeowners are watching it." After hearing this, Lin Yi''s mother quickly took out her phone and entered the homeowners'' group. While everyone was still enthusiastically discussing, a person, with the note ''Mr. Xu from Building 32, Unit 502'', suddenly sent a message. "Hey, I''m quite familiar with the captain of the patrol team! One of my rtives is in his brigade! How about I ask about the progress of this incident?" As soon as he finished speaking, the entire group chat became lively, with everyone showing interest. "You have a rtive who''s a patrolman? Then please ask right away. I want to hear about the follow-up too!" "Right, those two are always so annoying, I never bother with them. They''re truly infuriating!" "It''s the first time I''ve seen someone walking a dog without a leash, and those arerge breeds, too! My child gets scared just seeing such a big dog." "ska dogs are usually quite docile, howe those two from their family are so fierce..." ...¡­ As the conversation went on, it eventually veered off topic. Lin Yi also found it meaningless and put his phone aside, then headed upstairs towards the nursery. When he reached the door, he saw Han Xuewei holding their daughter Mengmeng, trying to lull her to sleep with a softly hummed luby. Seeing his wife, Lin Yi''s eyes filled with tenderness. Han Xuewei also smiled gently. Lin Yi stepped forward, took Mengmeng into his arms, and whispered, "Honey, you can leave her with me." Han Xuewei whispered to him, "Mm, I''ll go rest then. Mengmeng was pretty scared today; she keeps waking up from her sleep. If she wakes up, just hold her and gently pat her back. She''ll calm down quickly." Lin Yi nodded his head and smiled, "Yeah, ok. Don''t worry, I promise the task will bepleted." After Han Xuewei had finished giving these instructions, she finally rxed and returned to the bedroom. Lin Yi looked at his little daughter Mengmeng, and couldn''t help but feel a pang of heartache, "Mengmeng, be good, we''re not afraid, Daddy is here! Mengmeng isn''t afraid of anything, right!" "Daddy will chase away all the bad people and protect you..." While gentlyforting her, Lin Yi slowly ced his daughter into the crib. Ding! The system notification suddenly sounded! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for sessfully soothing the baby''s mood, reward of 800,000 yuan received!" At the same time, he received a text message on his phone, and he knew without looking that it was from the bank. It looked like the money had arrived! Lin Yi was already ustomed to this, unfazed in the slightest. In his eyes, everything he did was a given; he had to be a responsible father, and he wouldn''t specifically do anything just for the system''s rewards. Lin Yi also never behaved like most fathers these days, who would lie on the couch watching their phones as soon as they returned home every day. In his opinion, love is always a two-way journey, with both sides needing to contribute, and as a man, loving one''s family is essential! An hourter, Han''s mother came in; she took over watching the baby from Lin Yi. Your journey continues at m v|l-e''-NovelBin Han''s mother whispered, "Lin Yi, we''re here to watch the baby, you go ahead with your stuff." Although parents need to be with their children, they surely have their own matters to attend to; as elders, it''s only right to share some of the load. After agreeing, Lin Yi headed back to the bedroom. However, he still remembered that he had something to keep him busy tonight. He had to personally tailor a nutritious meal n for Han Xuewei and help her recuperate through her diet. By this time, Han Xuewei had already gone to bed early. Lin Yi tiptoed into the bedroom, took a shower in the bathroom, and then went to the closet to dry his hair with the hairdryer. When he finally got to the study, it was almost eleven at night. He casually took out his phone and saw there were many unread WeChat messages, all from the homeowner''s group chat. Lin Yi skimmed through the chat content, seeing that the discussion still centered on that extremely arrogant couple, specting on their fate. And after the incident, the group admin immediately kicked those two out of the group. Everyone was also sharing news about the couple''s deal with the authorities, and this news was directly released by the officials. "Today, in a high-end residential area, Xu Moufang and Shang Mouhui publicly insulted others, with serious implications, not seeking to obstructw enforcement; they have been dealt with byw enforcement officers ording tow and may face detention for up to ten days." "Due to their walking tworge dogs without leashes, and not having processed the relevant documentation for their pets, they are to be treated as strays and taken in, plus a fine of 500 yuan." Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Official News "I hope that the general public will take this as a warning, and I would also like to remind everyone that insulting others in public ces is prohibited. We advocate for everyone to be well-mannered,w-abiding, and morally responsible citizens! I also hope that pet owners take their responsibilities seriously and abide by all regtions." After reading the news, Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief. It was truly gratifying! Judging from the photos attached to the news, the couple had a wry smile on their faces¡ªit appeared they had received a proper education! How could they not be educated when they were obstructingw enforcement with such arrogance? Lin Yi''s mood had improved significantly. He turned off his cell phone screen,id it on the table, and then booted up hisputer. Combining his knowledge of diet therapy, he began to formte a nutrition menu for his wife! After about half an hour of focused writing, he finallypleted a nutritional menu he was satisfied with! Almost every ingredient listed was essential, some providing nourishment to ensure her nutrition. There were also other ns to help Han Xuewei manage her fat intake properly, andter stages included alternative menus. The final menu was aimed at reducing her fat, though the results would be slower to manifest. These menu ns could be rotated and alternated. Lin Yi looked at the several menus he had created with great satisfaction, nning to hand them over to Aunt Wang the next day and also exin the corresponding cooking methods. Even though everything was clearly marked, he wanted it to be perfect. Lin Yi stretchedzily and then returned to the bedroom. Lying down, he couldn''t help but smile again at the sight of Han Xuewei''s delicate and charming cheeks beside him. He wrapped his arms around Han Xuewei and fell into a deep sleep. Come the next morning, his father-inw, upon seeing Lin Yi, enthusiastically said, "Lin Yi, now that you''ve rented the shop, consider the decoration as soon as possible!" Han Xuewei''s father was eager to get the private family restaurant up and running, as it couldn''t be dyed any longer. Back in their hometown, trusted individuals were already handling their business, and he was very confident leaving it in their hands. So now, he could focus all his energies on the development here in Xiangcheng, especially since his beloved daughter was here, and he wanted to center his attention on this ce. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would consider transferring all business from his hometown to here. Lin Yi naturally understood his father-inw''s urgency, and reassured him, "Leave it to me. My roommate''s family does renovations for others¡ªI''ll contact him first." The father-inw was very satisfied upon hearing this and said, "Mhm, I feel very reassured leaving it in your hands. That will trouble your ssmate then. Your mother-inw will retire and be at home before next month, and I have also made all the preparations on my end, having nothing to do all day." "So now I just want to run this shop well, as it will eventually be handed over to Vivi." Originally, he had nned for his daughter Vivi to return to their side after graduation, find a fit boyfriend, and settle down quietly for the rest of their lives. But ns can''t keep up with changes¡ªas his daughter had decided to develop her life here, he was definitely going to support her! Lin Yi promised with a smile, "Don''t worry, my buddy is also very reliable. He''ll definitely make it look fabulous for you!" After saying this, Lin Yi pulled out his phone and dialed his roommate Qiu Zhenhua''s number. Qiu Zhenhua''s family ran a decorationpany. Although it wasn''t very big, they were known for reliable work. Soon after the call connected, Qiu Zhenhua''s voice came through. "Hey, President Lin, what brings you to call me? Aren''t you busy with your wife?" Lin Yiughed heartily upon hearing this, "Hahaha, of course I should spend time with my wife and child, but that doesn''t mean I can''t chat with a brother." Qiu Zhenhua said, "Seriously, you''ve be quite the rare visitor. You don''t even message in our dorm group chat anymore. Now you suddenly call me, should I be on guard?" Lin Yi coughed awkwardly after hearing this, as he had been busy taking care of his family and hadn''t really had time for school matters. So he hurriedly changed the subject, "You still worry about me? Have you got your diploma yet?" Qiu Zhenhua replied, "I''ll get it as soon as I pass thest exam. Everyone''s preparing for the teststely. When have my grades ever slipped? No problem at all!" While Qiu Zhenhua was on the phone, there was a book lying on the table titled "English Vocabry Analytical Memory" that had been bought in his freshman year. It looked brand new, with only a name written on it. Lin Yiughed again, "Keep bragging! Weren''t you nning on taking over the family business from the start? But speaking of that, I actually need your help with something." Qiu Zhenhua said, "What family business do I have? It''s nothingpared to yours. Just tell me what you need help with. You''re not considering taking care of my business, are you?" Lin Yi said with a smile, "I''m not quite sure how to tell you this, but it''s actually about my father-inw. He''s looking to open a private kitchen restaurant here, and we''ve just found a nice ce in Wenqu Building to rent. Now that we need to think about renovation, I remembered your family does exactly this, so I wanted to ask if you''d be interested in this business deal?" When Qiu Zhenhua heard this, his body that had been lying back like Ge You''s instantly sat upright. "A restaurant renovation, right?" "Yes, why not? Of course, we will take this deal! I''m making the decision on behalf of my dad right here!" Lin Yi said with augh, "Don''t rush to a conclusion. Although it''s just a restaurant, the area is not small at all, it''s nearly two thousand square meters. Can your family really handle such a big project?" Qiu Zhenhua was taken aback upon hearing this, quite shocked by the figure! His family had undertaken restaurant renovation projects before, but thergest had been only three to five hundred square meters. Two thousand square meters? That was the first time he had heard of something so big! "Damn! Lin Yi! Is your father-inw that wealthy? Talk about luck, marrying a rich and beautiful girl! Although your own family isn''t bad off, if you marry someone like her, you really won''t have to worry about anything in the future!" Envy was evident in Qiu Zhenhua''s words! Lin Yi responded with a light smile, "Easier said than done! Conquering is easy, but maintaining is hard. In this day and age, even running a small restaurant is quite sophisticated, and the most important thing is to consider the business approach. Vivi and I are outsiders, having never dealt with these matters, let alone knowing how to run a business. So, there''s still a lot to learn! It sounds difficult just thinking about it." Qiu Zhenhua said quite rxedly, "You''re overthinking things, man. You''re nning too far ahead. Who knows, maybe the money left by your parents will be enough for your grandchildren!" Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Discussing Serious Matters Lin Yiughed after hearing this and then returned to the previous topic, "Alright, let''s not talk about this for now. Discuss it with your family! The moment I think of the decoration issues, I''ming straight to take care of your business!" Qiu Zhenhua pped his chest and said, "Don''t worry, leave it to me! I''ll have a word with my old man and we''ll figure this out." This matter indeed needed careful consideration because if their family had already epted other jobs, they probably wouldn''t have enough manpower to renovate this more than 2000 square meter restaurant! Lin Yi said, "Hmm, I''ll wait for your news." After the call, Lin Yi put away his phone and turned to his father-inw, "Let''s wait for his reply!" Han Xuewei''s father nodded, "Hmm, let''s go have breakfast." Just a few minutester, Qiu Zhenhua made a direct call. Qiu Zhenhua was very excited on the other end of the phone and blurted out, "Lin Yi! My dad said we don''t have other jobs right now, and we have enough people, so we can take on this project! Find a time to have a meal, shall we? We can talk about this matter in detail then." Lin Yi said, "There''s no need for that, I''ll head over to your dad''spany directly, so we can discuss it in person." Han Xuewei''s father also added, "Yes, we will go to thepany and discuss it in detail." So, they set the meeting for eleven o''clock and went straight to Qiu Zhenhua''s family''s decoratingpany. Lin Yi took out the nutritional meal menus he had writtenst night, handed them to Aunt Wang, and even went into the kitchen to cook one for Han Xuewei ording to the menu. Although it was already past nine o''clock, it was still a good time for breakfast. He took the nutritional meal he made and brought it directly to the bedroom, where he found Han Xuewei washing up. He considerately ced the nutritional meal on the table and said, "Starting today, every meal of yours wille from the nutritional meal menu I''ve designed for you. It''s tailor-made, even the portions are specified. Eat with confidence! It will meet your figure requirements without causing weight gain, no high calories!" The moment he ced the lovingly prepared breakfast on the table, the system''s notification rang in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for daily caring for your wife, earning a system reward of five hundred thousand!" Lin Yi was already ustomed to such rewards, so he didn''t even bother to check the deposit message. At that time, Han Xuewei''s face was also brimming with happiness as she smiled and said, "Thanks to my husband." Lin Yi patted her head and said, "Eat it while it''s warm. I''m going to drive and take dad to my ssmate''spany to discuss the renovation in a bit." "Mmm, then you guys go ahead. I''ll start eating right away," urged Han Xuewei. Only after Lin Yi had left did Han Xuewei look at thevish breakfast on the table and felt a warm glow in her heart. Although Lin Yi had made her loving breakfasts many times before, she hadn''t expected him to pull out a meticulously customized menu today. She felt incredibly delighted. Lin Yi drove, taking his father-inw with him, to Qiu Zhenhua''spany¡ªLiangce Decorating Company. Qiu Zhenhua had been waiting at the store entrance for Lin Yi. When he saw a brand-new Range Rover Sporting, he was taken aback! He examined the person getting out of the driver''s seat with some disbelief and almost dropped his jaw when he confirmed it was Lin Yi! Qiu Zhenhua hurried over to Lin Yi and then circled the Range Rover a few times, eyes full of envy, "Lin Yi, Lin Yi, look at you, living on the conditions now!" Which man wouldn''t be moved by a Range Rover Sport? Right then, his feelings were nothing but envy. Lin Yi smiled and introduced, "Let me introduce, this is Vivi''s dad, also my father-inw." Then he continued to his father-inw, "This is my college roommate and good friend, Qiu Zhenhua." Qiu Zhenhua quickly straightened his clothes and formally said, "Hello, Uncle!" Han Xuewei''s father responded with a smile, "Hello, hello." Leading the way, Qiu Zhenhua exined, "Let''s go upstairs for some tea first. A new worker came in today who isn''t familiar with the work environment, so my dad took him to check it out. He should be back soon. Sorry to keep you waiting at home." Knowing that today''s visitors were important guests, Qiu Zhenhua did not dare to neglect and after he had seated them upstairs, prepared a pot of tea, pouring a cup for each. With his dad not yet back, Qiu Zhenhua didn''t feel it was right to talk shop, so he began chatting with them about everyday matters, passing a few minutes until Qiu Ce, his father, appeared. As soon as he entered, he was very polite, apologizing, "I am so sorry! You shouldn''t have to wait this long, there was a new worker today, and I was showing him around the site, which took some time." Han Xuewei''s father also quickly said, "No worries, no worries, your son took great care of us. Let''s sit down and discuss the specifics." Qiu Zhenhua then poured tea for his father as well. Qiu Ce took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and then introduced himself, "I''m Qiu Zhenhua''s father, Qiu Ce. We''ve been running this decoratingpany for some years now and our business capacity is quite good. Zhenhua briefed me this morning, and I''m very d to meet you all." Lin Yi responded very politely, "It''s a pleasure to meet you." Han Xuewei''s father also greeted, "Hello." After the brief introductions, they began to get down to business. Qiu Ce earnestly said, "Lin Yi, I heard as soon as you thought about the renovation, ourpany was the first one that came to your mind. I really must thank you, I''m very grateful for your trust!" Lin Yi said, "Actually, it''s only natural. For such matters, it''s better to go to someone you''re familiar with. My father-inw has secured quite arge shop space and wants to renovate it to open a restaurant. I really want to help him, but I don''t know how, as I''m an outsider and not familiar with this stuff." Han Xuewei''s father took out a document folder from a handbag and handed it over, saying, "This contains some data and some photos, all rted to the decoration style of my restaurant back home. In fact, I want to retain most of the styles. For the details, there''sprehensive information inside. However, we haven''t surveyed the new rental space, so some of the data will need to be measured on-site by yourselves. Since Lin Yi has chosen you, I trust him too. I''ll leave this renovation work in your hands then, with a two-month deadline. Can you handle it?" Chapter 116 Start Decorating Qiu Zhenhua cast an expectant nce at Dad. Qiu Ce also quickly responded, "Timing ispletely negotiable, no problem at all. I haven''t taken any other jobs recently, so if we sign the contract, my entire team will be dedicated to this renovation project. Thus, two months is absolutely doable!" "Uncle, I was wondering about the cost..." Lin Yi tentatively asked. Qiu Ce: "Since the materials needed are quite a lot, we always collect a certain percentage of the deposit for renovation jobs and the remaining amount is paid by the client uponpletion." Lin Yi then asked, "How much would the deposit roughly be?" Qiu Ce did a quick calction, then said, "Given the ratherrge size of your shop, a conservative estimate would put the deposit around seven to eight hundred thousand." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Well, then I''ll just pay a deposit of nine hundred thousand upfront, and the bnce after the work ispleted." Qiu Ce eagerly agreed, "That''s fine. If we sign the contract today, we can visit the site this afternoon or tomorrow." Han Xuewei''s dad nodded and said, "Alright, let''s sign it now." And just like that, both parties reached a consensus and quickly signed the contract. Lin Yi paid the nine hundred thousand as the deposit straightaway. Han Xuewei''s dad had originally nned to pay the deposit himself, but in the end, he couldn''t persuade Lin Yi. Dad Han said to Qiu Ce, "Would it be alright for me to observe the construction when it begins? Don''t worry, I promise not to interfere with your work." Qiu Ce quickly said, "Of course, of course. You are wee to visit anytime, we ept our customers'' supervision!" Han Xuewei''s father said, "I wouldn''t call it supervision. I might just have some design ideas of my own to propose." After chatting for a while longer, Qiu Ce and his son saw Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s dad out. With these matters settled, what followed was the refinement and implementation of the n. Lin Yi also knew that actually, decorating wasn''t the challenging part. It was the series of tasks that followed which would be demanding. Like organizing a grand opening ceremony, doing good preliminary promotional work, and operation preparations, even recruiting waitstaff for the various positions. Indeed, running a sessful restaurant now was definitely not simple. Only with investmentes gain, and spending energy to learn relevant knowledge is how one can operate better. Lin Yi couldn''t bear to leave all these tasks to his father-inw, so he still had to do most of the heavy lifting himself. At first, Lin Yi had even thought about finding a suitable job for himself, possibly getting some awards from the system. Butter on, he realized his idea wasn''t feasible because he found he needed to spend more time with his family. Not worrying about wealth and being able to apany his family often was a wonderful feeling! So no matter what, she was determined to get the restaurant up and running; it would have a considerable potential for future development! So, in the uing period, he would need to prepare for the tasks at hand and face the challenges! He nned to find time to talk more with his father-inw, learning about restaurant management and operational tricks. By contributing more, Han Xuemei and his father-inw would have less hardship. After finishing up, Lin Yi and his father-inw headed back. As soon as they got home, they saw Aunt Wang busily preparing lunch. Dad Han hurried back to his room to change his clothes after washing his hands, ready to check on the three babies. Lin Yi''s mom and Han''s mother were ying with the kids in the nursery at this moment. Han Xuewei was in charge of assisting Aunt Wang in the kitchen and was also making a special love-filled lunch just for Lin Yi! Seeing Han Xuewei bustling about, Lin Yi couldn''t help but show a mischievous smile! He sneaked up behind Han Xuewei and carefully whispered in her ear. At that moment, Han Xuewei also sensed something unusual, and she quickly turned around, only to identally nt a kiss on Lin Yi''s face! Lin Yi, with his cheeky manner, feigned surprise, "Oh! If you want to kiss me, just do it directly!" Then he nted a big kiss on Han Xuewei''s cheek! Thetter''s face turned slightly red as she said in a soft voice, "Why are you sneaking around when youe back? I didn''t even hear you." Lin Yiughed quietly, "Seeing you so focused, I just couldn''t bear to disturb you!" Han Xuewei gave him a light push with her elbow, "Hmph, all you know is how to be sly. I think you did it on purpose." Lin Yi chuckled, "You are my treasure, mywful wife, it''s not too much for me to be a little sly with you, right?" Seeing Han Xuewei still busy, Lin Yi asked curiously, "By the way, wife, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good, I didn''t get full from breakfast and I''m so hungry now!" Han Xuemei smiled and said, "I''ve learned a new dish recently, double-cooked pork. I made it especially for you to try." Lin Yi gave a thumbs-up and praised, "It already smells so good! The taste must be amazing!" Han Xuewei proudly said, "Do I even need to say it? Your wife''s cooking skills are definitely top-notch." Lin Yi said with a smile, "In that case, my wife is indeed very virtuous." With that, he took the opportunity to leave another kiss on Han Xuewei''s face. Han Xuewei murmured shyly, "Hey, Aunt Wang is still right there..." "Right, how did the business discussion go today? Did you finalize everything?" Lin Yi patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured when your husband handles things! Everything is arranged perfectly!" At that moment, Han Xuewei became quite serious, "Honey, if this restaurant really does take off, and I end up having to take over sooner orter, will you help me out when that timees?" Lin Yi also became very earnest, "Wife, we''re family, no need for formalities. I feel these are things I should do. In short, I won''t let you worry or work too hard! Even if you don''t like running the restaurant in the future, I can help you with it! So, rest assured, a thousand times over!" Only after receiving such a response from Lin Yi did Han Xuewei''s hanging heart settle down. "Love you, honey, thank you for being so good to me. As an only child, I have to take on more responsibility. I feel my parents have great expectations for me, so sometimes I worry about letting them down and disappointing them. Fortunately, you''re here to encourage me, always helping and sharing the burden. So I''m really happy, and I don''t need to worry! Honey, you are so good to me!" "Silly girl, why are you thanking me again?" he said, then hugged her from behind. Chapter 117: Chapter 117 The Lacking Space for Two Han Xuewei struggled shyly to get free, saying, "Oh no, Aunt Wang is still here, it''s not good for others to see." But Lin Yi showed no sign of letting go, "Oh, Aunt Wang just went to the storeroom, and everyone else is in the baby room watching the baby." Han Xuewei quickly tried to break free again, "That''s still not okay, Aunt Wang will be back soon, we need to be careful!" After hearing this, Lin Yi said with a sense of grievance, "Sigh, I originally thought it was convenient for the whole family to live together, but I didn''t expect there to be disadvantages, now wepletelyck a world of our own." Han Xuewei red at Lin Yi and scooped all the vegetables from the pot into a te, "There''s nothing we can do about it,e on, hurry up and call everyone to have lunch together." At this moment, Han Xuewei also felt the same dilemma in her heart; she felt that she and Lin Yi started too abruptly without a dating process, and went straight into married life. She actually wished she could have more private space with Lin Yi to make their rtionship sweeter. But having skipped the honeymoon phase, the adjustment period, among others, the two of them always felt something was missing, and even then, they wouldn''t have much intimate interaction, if any, it would be in the bedroom. So, thinking about it this way, they both really had a bellyful ofints with no one to tell! But now that they already had a baby, some matters had to be pursued half-heartedly. As evening approached, Lin Yi''s mother gathered everyone and held a small family meeting. "I have called everyone here to inform you that I''ve had the master calcte a good date, and Lin Yi and Vivi''s wedding will be held on the 23rd of August. There is a little over a month left, so we have plenty of time to prepare. Is there anything else that needs to be added?" Everyone looked at each other, it seemed there was nothing to add, and they all quite agreed with the date. Moreover, once the two of them had their wedding ceremony, they should be ready to go back to school to continue their studies. Thankfully, the curriculum in their senior year was more rxed, so other than handling exams, they had nothing else to worry about. "Then we need to set a time to go visit Vivi''s grandmother, after all, we have to take the babies there to recognize her," Lin Yi''s father pondered for a moment before stating. Lin Yi''s mother looked at the calendar, made some calctions, and then said, "How about this, we go ten days early for a visit, by that time the babies will also have grown quite a bit, making going out more convenient." Lin Yi also expressed his agreement, "Yeah, I think that works. Going ten days early won''t interfere with other matters." Lin Yi''s mother said to everybody quite earnestly, "At that time, we can follow the process of a formal engagement visit, and I have already bought all the necessary items, all ording to the highest standards. We can also bring rtives with us, what does everyone think about that?" At this moment, Han Xuewei''s father suddenly spoke up, "I have no objections to the other arrangements, just a little suggestion about the date. The mother-inw mentioned going ten days early, why not make it eight days? Because that day happens to be my mother''s birthday; it would be like a double celebration, and we could also celebrate her longevity. How does that sound to everyone?" After hearing this, Lin Yi''s mother was very surprised, "Gosh, I didn''t expect two happy events to coincide! Then let''s set the date together! We''ll follow the standards of an engagement banquet, and when it''s time for the wedding banquet, our Lin Family will host it." "Of course, the livelier the better, both sides can invite more rtives, don''t worry about seating, in any case, we must have a grand celebration for the children!" "Exactly, I also hope for a grand celebration," Han Xuewei''s mother said excitedly. "The bride''s side will surely have no shortage of rtives, we''ll wee as many ase! And it''s also a great opportunity to celebrate the triplets!" Everyone expressed strong agreement with these ideas. Although the two of them were already married, and their child had already had its full-month celebration, they couldn''t skip any of the traditional procedures. For them, a wedding ceremony was indispensable. Only by holding it on a grand scale could they highlight the importance they ced on Vivi. After all, Weiwei was their precious daughter-inw! So, this wedding had to be meticulously nned no matter what! The grander, the better! They couldn''t wait to tell all the rtives in the Lin Family that Vivi was a good daughter-inw and also the treasure of the Lin Family! In recent days, Lin Yi''s parents had been busy with these matters,municating with rtives from both sides to get a rough estimate of how many coulde to meet Vivi''s grandmother. Once the number of attendees was confirmed, the initial n was to take the high-speed train there, but they were worried that the baby might feel ufortable on the way and it might be difficult to manage if he started crying. After discussing it together, since they had plenty of cars now, they decided to all drive there! Driving from Xiangcheng to Xiaochuan County wouldn''t take too long. Since there was a baby on board, they couldn''t drive too fast. If there was no traffic jam, they couldpletely reach their destination in three hours. Plus, they nned to go there by RV, saving quite a bit of unnecessary trouble on the road. The family had a brief discussion and nned out everything smoothly. In these days, Han Xuewei''s father had idle time on his hands and would often check on the store to see the progress of the renovations. Her mother had returned to Xiaochuan County in the past few days, for the purpose of discussing the big event with rtives and friends. Meanwhile, Lin Yi''s parents had also called all the rtives over to discuss Lin Yi''s major life event over dinner. Of course, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, along with their three babies, also attended the meal. In fact, Lin Yi was not clear about the customs and rules regarding weddings, so it was the elders who made suggestions for them. After this meal, Lin Yi''s uncle, Lin Xibei, made aplete 180-degree turn in his attitude towards his son when he got back home, almost wanting to kick his cousin Lin Jie out of the house that very night. He said with dissatisfaction, "Pack your things and move out tomorrow!" Lin Jie replied inplete astonishment, "What? Dad! What are you doing? Why are you kicking me out all of a sudden? I don''t think I''ve done anything bad recently, have I?" Lin Xibei stated directly, "Remember this, boy! Starting tomorrow, I''m increasing your monthly living allowance by half, for you to rent a ce. But you must bring a daughter-inw to meet me as soon as possible! Your old man also wants to hold his grandchild soon!" Lin Jie started tough secretly upon hearing this. Free money was not to be declined! This way, he would have at least seventeen or eighteen thousand a month. As for a daughter-inw... heh, that could be put aside for now! Explore stories at m,v l''e-NovelBin After all, he still wanted to make the most of his prime years and have some fun! Lin Jie couldn''t help butugh, "Dad, I don''t think I''ve ever seen you be this generous before! You''re that eager for a daughter-inw? But these things can''t be rushed; it''s not that easy, you know?" Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Unlucky Cousin Lin Xibei was instantly infuriated after hearing this, "Do you still have the nerve to say that? Why don''t youpare yourself to your cousin Lin Yi? He not only has a wife now but has also fathered three kids! He hasn''t even finished university, and he''s already settled most of life''s major events¡ªI''m so jealous! I''m not even asking for three grandchildren, I''m not that demanding, just one will do! Just one!" "Your uncle brags about his three children in our family group chat every day, and they are so adorable! Each little one is more heart-melting than thest. Then look at you, not taking life seriously, you don''t even have a girlfriend, how can I not be mad?" Discover exclusive tales at m,v--NovelBin Lin Jie answered reluctantly, "That''s not the point, Dad. Is this something that can be solved by being anxious? Girlfriends aren''t something you can find just because you want one!" Seeing his son argue back, Lin Xibei became even more irritated, "You rascal, I can''t be bothered with all that. Whatever it takes, you have to bring someone back. If all else fails, go on a blind date! You ought to have a child no matter what! As long as you do the job, I don''t mind raising the child!" Lin Jie shrugged and said, "Dad, dating takes time, too! Even if I want to have kids, the woman has to be willing, right? The cost of dating is high nowadays, just going out for a date costs a lot! Let me do the math for you; don''t you have to hand out a red envelope during the holidays? For birthdays, at least a handbag as a gift, right? asionally giving a ring or something is pretty standard, not to mention the money spent on dates, it''s already tens of thousands gone." "So when you calcte it, out of the seventeen or eighteen thousand yuan I get for living expenses each month, I use a part to pay rent, then for meals and necessities, there''s not much left! It''s also not quite enough for buying little things for someone, and although you might raise the child, I still have to support my wife! Surprises certainly can''t be left out, Dad. Times have changed; today''s girls are different from those of your time, what they value most is romance. At the minimum, a trip every year, and who knows, maybe even going abroad in the future!" After listening, Lin Xibei clenched his teeth and steeled his heart, finally saying, "Fine! I''ll give you fifty thousand yuan a month for living expenses! But you only have six months. If you don''t manage to find a girlfriend within half a year, don''t me me for being unfriendly!" Lin Jie was astonished by his dad''s generosity! Alright, he had never been this generous before! Fifty thousand yuan a month for living expenses! What did that mean? Any video game console he liked, he could buy on a whim, every kind of AAA title he could purchase without a second thought! Just the thought of it was exciting! All thanks to my dear cousin! As for a girlfriend or something, worst case scenario, after half a year, I can just find any girl, trick my dad, maybe I can even prolong these good days for a few more months. In the end, I can just say we broke up! In just a moment, Lin Jie hadpletely figured out his dad! Lin Yi''s father and the second uncle both started from scratch, and although Lin Xibei''s business wasn''t as big as his brother''s, it was worth tens of millions at the least. And since he had only this one precious son, he could afford the fifty thousand a month for living expenses. Knowing his dad''s thoughts, Lin Jie started to scheme, thinking about ways to coax some money out of his father to refresh his life. Han Xuewei hadn''t received any messages from Qin Xiaoxu recently and couldn''t help feeling worried. After all, she had been too busy these days, having no time to chat with her bestie. Thinking of this, she took out her phone and asked, "Xiaoxu, what have you been busy with these days? It''s been so long since we chatted." Qin Xiaoxu replied instantly, "Vivi, my dear sister! I''ve been upied with making a living! I don''t have the good fortune of being apanied by a husband every day and not worrying about life. Entering society is really difficult! Without working hard, one could starve to death!" Seeing theint-filled message from her friend, Han Xue almost burst outughing, "Why didn''t you stay at home and help out? I remember your family runs a business." Qin Xiaoxu quickly replied, "I wanted to go back too, but my dad wouldn''t let me! He insists that I gain some social experience for a few years, and I also don''t want to rely on my family. I hope to have my own career! But reality is too harsh, it''s so difficult to work out here!" Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewei were from the same department, majoring in art. However, Qin Xiaoxu also minored in graphic design during her free time, so her current job was rted to design. Qin Xiaoxu continued toin, "You don''t know how psychotic ourpany''s manager is; we aren''t even allowed to look at our phones during work hours. We have to put everyone''s phones at the front desk when clocking in, and we can''t get them back until we clock out. I can''t even reply to other people''s messages, let alone watch a video when going to the toilet!" "I''m really frustrated right now; I don''t want to stay even for a day! But when I think about saving more than ten thousand yuan a month, I tell myself I have to endure!" "My workce is near Qianda, and I''ve rented a ce nearby, too. The rent in this area is so expensive, a tiny apartment of less than 50 square meters costs four thousand five hundred yuan a month!" Han Xuewei quietly watched her best friend continue to grumble. When she saw the word "Qianda," her eyes lit up, and she followed up with, "Wait, did you say you work at Qianda?" Qin Xiaoxu responded, "Yes, at Qianda, why?" Han Xuewei then remembered that she hadn''t been to the beauty salon for postnatal care for several days and thought it would be a good time to visit her friend and also get some beauty treatments. "Are you off work now? Do you have time? I''ll take you to get a beauty treatment." The moment she hit send, she received Qin Xiaoxu''s enthusiastic reply: "Yes, yes, yes! I''m free now!" "Once I start work, I have no time. I''ve been feeling so tired these few days. I only get four days off a month, sometimes I even have to work overtime!" "I''ve been close to copsing these past days, I just sleep once I get home! I don''t do anything else, I don''t even have the energy to binge-watch, my skin is getting worse! Every day, I''m so tired!" "Can that skincare ce do massages? I just want a massage right now, and it would be great if they could also realign some bones!" Han Xuewei smiled and quickly replied, "They have everything there, any treatment you want!" Qin Xiaoxu: "Great, then I will wait for you at Qianda, let me know when you arrive!" Han Xuewei: "Alright, I will get there within an hour, let''s meet at half past one." Qin Xiaoxu: "Babe! How about we have dinner out today? It''s not easy to have a day off, let''s enjoy a big meal!" Han Xuewei actually nned to have lunch after meeting with her friend, especially since Lin Yi had ordered nutritious meals for her. Chapter 119 The Gathering Between Besties She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to ask Lin Yi first." Qin Xiaoxu: "??? Han Xuewei! How could you do this? Don''t you realize you''ve changed!! It''s just a meal between besties, why do you need to ask your husband for his opinion?" Han Xuewei hurriedly exined, "No, no, no, Lin Yi has tailored a nutritional menu specifically for me. I have to follow the menu for my meals every day because he says it''s to replenish nutrients, so I just want to run it by him first." Qin Xiaoxu sent over a huge eye-roll emoji! But she had to admit, she was really envious of Han Xuewei now! Not only did she have a happy and fulfilling family, but every day her husband was doting, and her inws were loving. Both her own parents and her inws were very wealthy! It seemed like shecked nothing in life! Qin Xiaoxu''s family was also quite well-off, but she still needed to face some serious challenges right now! Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxu was full of worries. When would such a lifee to an end! She was now really missing her college days when life was truly carefree! There was absolutely no need to fret over living expenses! Once she graduated, she began living the working-life, driven every day by circumstances beyond her control! Then, she calmed her depressed mood and quickly got out of bed to dress up, nning to go shopping with her bestie! At this time, Han Xuewei tiptoed into the baby room, and seeing Lin Yi ying with the babies, whispered in his ear, "Honey,e out for a moment." Lin Yi was pulled by Han Xuewei into the bedroom after asking Aunt Wang and the Maternity Matron to help watch over the babies for a bit. Han Xuewei pulled Lin Yi into the bedroom, then said to him, "Honey, Xiaoxu just asked me out to eat. May I have lunch with her outside today?" Lin Yi, seeing Han Xuewei so coy for the first time, decided to tease her a bit. "Sure, but first you have to give me a kiss, and then I''ll agree," Lin Yi said with a smile. Han Xuewei did not hesitate at all, directly tiptoed up and nted a kiss on Lin Yi''s mouth. But Lin Yi seemed to lock the door, then scooped her up in a princess carry and headed toward the bed. ¡­ About half an hourter, Lin Yi stretchedzily, very satisfied, then said with a mischievous grin, "By the way, baby. The food outside is much greasier than at home, and the quality of that oil isn''t too good, so you''ll need to ensure a certain amount of exercise after eating." "Remember toe back early tonight, we need to get some exercise!" Hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately objected, "No way! I don''t want to! You''re really too lecherous!" But Lin Yi craftily replied, "So what if I''m lecherous? It''s all aimed at my wife, not bothering anyone else. Right?" Han Xuewei found it difficult to argue back, so she headed straight for the walk-in closet to change her clothes, not nning to continue the argument with him. Lin Yi, with a rather unseriousugh, said, "Baby, I might as well drive you there! After all, I have nothing to do right now." From inside the walk-in closet, Han Xuewei shouted, "It''s fine, I can go alone. After lunch with Qin Xiaoxu, we''re going to Qianda''s beauty salon. It''s really not convenient for you to hang around while we chat about work, right?" Lin Yi could only respond with a smile, "Then have a good time, and if you need me, just call. I promise I''ll be there as soon as possible!" "Mhm, I know!" After finally changing her clothes, Han Xuewei hurriedly made a phone call to her best friend, "I''m heading out and will be there soon. Wait for me at the east gate, okay?" Qin Xiaoxu replied, "Got it, I''ve already packed up and am about to leave as well. Did you just leave now? Did Lin Yi deliberately make it difficult for you to leave?" In her heart, Han Xuewei thought, "Humph, I barely managed to escape his clutches!" The two best friends who cherished each other finally met up, and Qin Xiaoxu went straight to the hot pot restaurant with Han Xuewei. Once they were seated, Han Xuewei whispered, "Xiaoxu, I''m still breastfeeding, so I can''t have anything spicy." Qin Xiaoxu, flipping through the menu, consoled her, "Don''t worry, we''ll just order a ''yuan yang'' hot pot¡ªI''ll have extra spicy! And we''ll get you the ssic mild broth." After about fifteen minutes or so, all the dishes they ordered were served by the waitstaff! The servings here were small and the prices were reasonable. The table was filled with tes and there wasn''t even any space left on the small trolley. Han Xuewei looked incredulously at the table full of dishes, then at her best friend, "Babe, I agreed to treat today, but isn''t this a little too much? Besides, the two of us couldn''t possibly finish all this..." She looked helplessly at her best friend. With a woeful expression, Qin Xiaoxu said, "Ah, I don''t know what''s gotten into me¡ªI want to eat everything I see. And ever since I started working, I''ve been living paycheck to paycheck! I have to consider everything carefully before buying. Even though my sry seems high now, a huge chunk goes to rent, not to mention beauty salon expenses. Aaaah! I really miss our school days! Vivi, I''m so envious of you!" Watching her best friend continue toin, Han Xuewei smiled and said, "What''s there to envy about me? Sigh, I have my own worries too; it''s not like I''m living a carefree life. And all my worries are about the baby." Qin Xiaoxu didn''t understand her point of view because, to her, any problem in the world could be solved with money. Being rich really does bring happiness! Plus, as Han Xuewei mentioned, besides Aunt Wang, there were two other nannies to help out at home. So considering that, she shouldn''t have any worries¡ªwhat trouble could she possibly have? All Han Xuewei did was let out a sigh, "Perhaps it''s because it''s my first time being a mother. I just don''t know how to take care of the baby properly." Seeing her best friend''s spirit seemingly down, Qin Xiaoxu asked in surprise, "Babe, you don''t have postpartum depression, do you??! You absolutely can''t have that! Your family is so perfect, your husband is so good to you, your inws dote on you, and your three babies are so adorable. You are truly blessed; please don''t let anything worry you! The babies will grow up eventually; everything will get better and better, and you don''t know how much people envy you!" Han Xuewei pursed her lips, puzzled, "You haven''t had a baby, so you definitely can''t understand this feeling. I''ve checked it out online too, and my current state of mind does seem to align with postpartum depression. But it''s mild for now, and I can feel myself getting overly worried about the children. I''ve even been losing hairtely!" Qin Xiaoxu, still unable to bear seeing her best friend like this, quickly took out her phone and started searching for information. Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Vivi is Sick? "Vivi, I took a quick look, and it seems that the main cause of postpartum depression is the decrease in hormones after giving birth. How about this? You should try and take some more time to go out and about, right, have you been breastfeeding the babytely?" Qin Xiaoxu saw Han Xuewei nodding her head, then asked, "Is it possible to take a break? Maybe you should stop breastfeeding." After hearing this, Han Xuewei shook her head like a rattle drum, "That won''t do, I can''t stop no matter what, only this way can I recognize my identity as a mother." Seeing Han Xuewei so insistent, Qin Xiaoxu had no choice but to say, "Alright then, breastfeeding is really good for the child, so just continue." Qin Xiaoxu also knew that her suggestion was somewhat problematic, she was thinking too one-sidedly! After all, Han Xuewei hadn''t been a mother for very long, and she was extremely attentive to the babies. If she were to stop breastfeeding, it would only make her more anxious. Moreover, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t understand what kind of troubles her best friend Han Xuewei was currently facing. Right now, she waspletely worry-free,cking nothing in material and spiritual terms, even much better off than others. So why would she suffer from postpartum depression? If Han Xuewei didn''t have such favorable conditions now, or if she hadn''t met good inws, or even if Lin Yi had many ws and treated her poorly, her postpartum depression could have been much worse! The more Qin Xiaoxu thought about it, the more terrified she felt, and she started to worry about Han Xuewei. But now there was so little she could do; it seemed that apart from offeringfort, she didn''t know what else to say. She grabbed Han Xuewei''s hand and said earnestly, "Vivi, you must take good care of yourself no matter what, don''t overthink things, do what you love every day. If you feel even a bit unhappy, you can totally tell Lin Yi, or you cane and talk to me! In any case, you can''t keep things bottled up inside, understand?" Han Xuewei nodded seriously and then began to chat with her best friend about something that had happened a few days ago. "Xiaoxu, a few days ago our family was pushing the baby stroller around the neighborhood, and then tworge dogs burst out and rushed toward the stroller, scaring the babies into crying. That really frightened me, and the babies'' situation didn''t look too optimistic, especially little Mengmeng. Even after we got home, she needed to be held by an adult to fall asleep, or she would just keep crying. Those days, I also suffered a bit of insomnia. Everyone else tells me that the babies are fine and they''ll get over it in a few days, but I''m still very worried..." As she spoke, Han Xuewei''s eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to start crying at any second. Qin Xiaoxu quickly handed over a tissue, patted her on the back, andforted, "It''s okay, don''t keep it inside, let it all out if you want to cry! If you feel it''s not right to talk about it in a public ce, we can go to a private room." Han Xuewei nodded with red eyes. And just like that, Qin Xiaoxu immediately called the service staff to switch them to a private room. Han Xuewei also poured out her troubles to her best friend, and the two of them chatted and dined there for a solid two hours. After finishing these conversations, Han Xuewei finally took a long breath, "Xiaoxu, after talking to you, I feel much relieved. It seems I need to invite you out more often." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu burst intoughter, "That''s right, so I''ll keep waiting for your treat to a big meal then!" After finishing their meal, they then went to the beauty salon in Qianda Shopping Mall. "Vivi, I really am too exhausted, it''s been such a long time since I''ve been to a beauty salon! Look at my skin, it''s so much worse than when we were at school!" After they arrived at the beauty salon, Qin Xiaoxuy down to be massaged and was clearly enjoying herself as she spoke to Han Xuewei. However, Han Xuewei said with a smile, "That''s no problem, we can juste here more often. We''ll make up for the times we''ve missed." But the other shook her head and replied, "No, no, I''m just too busy with work. Let me at least get past my probation period! Just half a month more to go! But... even though I might have the time then, I still won''t be able to afford the expenses here..." Back when I was still at school, my mom gave me a monthly allowance that wasn''t small, almost the same as my monthly sry! But now rent takes up a lot, and every meal is much more expensive than at school. Sigh, it''s really tough! I don''t dare to spend money recklessly now that I''ve earned it! I''ll try saving up first! I''ll do my best to set aside some, probably can''t afford toe here more than twice a month! After all, the treatments at this beauty salon aren''t cheap. The average expenditure is over fifteen hundred. At this moment, Han Xuewei suddenly turned to ask the beautician beside her, "Can I share my card with someone else? I mean, can my bestie use my card directly the next time shees, is that okay?" The beautician replied very politely, "Mrs. Lin, you can use the card with your bestie. Likewise, we support the issuance of supplementary cards here, also known as sisterhood cards. You can set a spending limit for the supplementary card." Han Xuewei hurriedly said to the beautician, "Then please issue one for me! Oh, and with no spending limit. Give the supplementary card to my bestie here." The beautician responded, "Okay, the two of you can take care of that at the front desk after finishing your treatments. It''s quick to process, and you can get the card today after filling out the relevant information." Han Xuewei nodded, "Alright, I got it." Lying beside her, Qin Xiaoxu eximed excitedly, "Wow! Vivi, you really are my best bestie, you''re so good to me!" Seeing her bestie''s excited reaction, Han Xuewei couldn''t help butugh too, "Now the two of us can go to beauty treatments together! Make sure youe when you have time!" Qin Xiaoxu pped her hands excitedly, "Mm, we''ll hang out more often! This is so awesome!" Seeing her bestie this happy made her very joyful too. In that moment, it felt like her mood lifted as well. Han Xuewei originally nned to drive her bestie home, but Qin Xiaoxu said she didn''t live very far away and didn''t need a ride, so Han Xuewei went home alone. After she got into the car, Qin Xiaoxu sent a message to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, I think Vivi is showing signs of postpartum depression. You really have to pay more attention to her and keep an eye on her recent state." Lin Yi was busy at home when he received the message and was startled! He replied anxiously, "How could that happen? What did she say today? Why would she suddenly have postpartum depression?" Qin Xiaoxu replied, "Vivi said she''s been very worried about the child recently, so you need to help her adjust her mindset." Chapter 121 An Anxious Vivi Lin Yi looked at the message sent by Qin Xiaoxu and couldn''t help but be lost in thought. Ever since he and Vivi got together, not only Lin Yi as a husband but also other family members had always taken great care of Vivi and even spoiled her. Lin Yi thought that going on like this wouldn''t pose any issues, but what he never expected was that despite all his calctions, he could have overlooked this point! After all, Han Xuewei was a mother for the first time! So, he could understand many of her feelings. Lin Yi hurriedly turned on hisputer and began to search online for relevant information. He himself had also learned some knowledge about postpartum care for mothers in advance, which now came in handy. Lin Yi also began to carefully analyze the main reasons that led to Han Xuewei''s condition. After careful consideration, he found that the most likely reason was thest time they took the baby out and those tworge dogs frightened her. Since that day, Han Xuewei had been very worried about the baby. Besides that, Lin Yi temporarily couldn''t find any other clues. It seems that his concern for his wife was still not enough! Regardless, Lin Yi resolved to give Han Xuewei even more care. Turning to Qin Xiaoxu, after saying goodbye to Han Xuewei, she went straight back to her apartment. Although she could only rest for four days a month, she preferred to stay in her apartment during her days off, watching dramas and cooking delicious food. She boredly flipped through her phone and then saw a pinned message on the school''s almighty wall, "I need a sister to pretend to be my girlfriend! Not for anything else, just to deal with my family. I will not cross any boundaries, and a generous reward will be offered!" She would usually see posts of high-looks ssmates showing off on the almighty wall, who also wanted to be in rtionships. But this was the first time she had seen someone looking for a person to pretend to be a girlfriend. Qin Xiaoxu became interested immediately, so she clicked on the message. Upon closer inspection, oh! She didn''t expect him to be quite handsome! So without much thought, Qin Xiaoxu took the initiative and sent a friend request right away. ... At this time, Han Xuewei had just returned home. She parked the car in the garage and then saw Lin Yi waiting for her at the doorstep! Before she could even walk to the door, Lin Yi rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Vivi, I''m really sorry! The care I''ve given you has been too little. Qin Xiaoxu has told me that you''re not feeling very well," he said. "Baby, you must promise me that from now on you''ll tell me about any troubles you have, or if you''re feeling unhappy. It''s better to express it than to hold it inside, okay?" Lin Yi feared that the family would worry too much, so he didn''t n to disclose Han Xuewei''s postpartum depression symptoms. Han Xuewei leaned directly into Lin Yi''s arms, "Okay, I''ll be obedient." They returned home together and were about to go upstairs to change clothes when Aunt Wang came running over anxiously. "Lin Yi, Da Bao seems to be constipated. He hasn''t pooped for several days, and I''ve tried everything, massaging him daily, but it hasn''t had any effect. What''s going on?" she asked. Aunt Wang continued, "You know, many babies experience this around the two-month mark, maybe it''s because the baby form is causing him to be overheated. I think we should give the baby some probiotics or something simr! First, we must get his stomach and intestines in order, and promptly help the baby to poop!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei was also quite nervous, "Aunt Wang, is this okay? I''m not sure if it''ll work. I received a WeChat message from my mom when I wasing back, so I also looked it up in advance. Everyone suggests using an enema, otherwise the baby''s poop will be pellets." Aunt Wang nodded and replied, "Indeed, using an enema is also okay. However, probiotics and the like shouldn''t be overlooked, the baby is still overheated, so we also need to cool him down." Therefore, Han Xuewei quickly said to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, you hurry and buy the enema and the probiotics Aunt Wang talked about. The baby hasn''t pooped for several days, and this is not good!" Seeing Han Xuewei''s anxious look and remembering what Qin Xiaoxu said about Vivi being very worried about the baby, Lin Yi quickly reassured her, "Vivi, please don''t worry, I''ll buy the things right now. Since the baby isn''t crying now, that means the situation isn''t too severe. Don''t worry, I''ll find a way to solve it!" Han Xuewei expressed her concern, "I''m really worried! Even adults feel ufortable if they don''t have a bowel movement for several days, let alone such a small baby." Lin Yi used some knowledge he had learned tofort her, "Wife, you really don''t need to worry so much. We''re different from babies in this regard. We adults consume carbohydrates and fiber every day. But it''s different for a baby, who only drinks milk every day. Most of the nutrients are absorbed by the body, and the rest is excreted through urine. The baby hasn''t cried these past few days; he still eats and sleeps normally, so it''s not that serious. You don''t have to worry too much, okay?" Han Xuewei nodded after hearing this, as it seemed to make sense. The baby also didn''t drink much milk every day, and usually, excretion was mainly through urine. Aunt Wang also added, "Yes, Vivi, you don''t need to worry too much. These situations are actually normal, and it also shows that there is no problem with the baby''s absorption." After consoling his wife, Lin Yi then called the employee at the "Happy Baby" store. "Mr. Lin, hello! What can I do for you?" A few secondster, the familiar voice of that employee came through the phone. Lin Yi was direct, "Hello, do you have children''s enema avable? Also, probiotics for reducing heat and nourishing the stomach and intestines?" The employee quickly replied, "We have all those! Mr. Lin, when do you need them?" Lin Yi stated, "I need them now, and it''s quite urgent. Can you deliver them as soon as possible?" The employee responded, "We can deliver them to you right now. Please wait at home." Then Lin Yi asked Aunt Wang standing next to him, "Aunt Wang, is the baby''s form almost out?" Aunt Wang replied, "There are just two boxes left." "Then continue with the phone," Lin Yi said, "Please also deliver the form and diapers as per our usual standard, including the calcium supplements." Lin Yi''s purchases were always recorded, and the employee was well-familiar with them, so there wouldn''t be any issues. "Okay, then please wait awhile; I''ll have it to you within half an hour," the employee confirmed. Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Finally Pulled! After finishing these words on the phone, Lin Yi turned to Han Xuewei and said, "Wife, the items should arrive soon, so let''s just wait a bit more patiently!" Han Xuewei''s eyes were red as she rubbed them and nodded. Lin Yi was already very considerate, and he even took care of all her emotions meticulously. But just at this moment, Da Bao suddenly began to cry! Without any warning, he let out a big wail and then his little face turned very red, his small eyes bulged round, and his little fists clenched tightly together, as if he was exerting himself. Could it be that he was starting to poo? Aunt Wang was still massaging Da Bao to help him pass gas, and then she leaned close to the diaper and sniffed, saying excitedly, "Oh my, it seems like Da Bao is going!" After hearing this, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei were also quite excited. Looking at Han Xuewei, Lin Yi then said, "Wife, see what I told you? There really was no need to worry so much. The things haven''t even arrived yet and the baby has already done it on his own." Han Xuewei said seriously, "It seems that I worried too much. It''s best not to use those things to avoid affecting the baby. I''ve read online that enemas are very bad, so I was really worried about the baby." Lin Yiughed and soothed, "Silly, I''ve read about it too, using it once or twice asionally is not a problem. You''re just too concerned about the little baby. You don''t need to worry so much; we''re all here!" In front of everyone, Lin Yi directly embraced Han Xuewei in his arms, and Han Xuewei''s face instantly turned red. Aunt Wang and the others alsoughed. Right then, Aunt Wang suddenly said, "These days we need to get Da Bao to drink more water, and we also need to prevent this situation with the other two babies. The hottest time of the year ising and we absolutely can''t let the babies get heaty." Lin Yi said, "Mm, okay, I got it, Aunt Wang." Lin Yi was also very happy in his heart, because Aunt Wang was a seasoned childcare expert, and his parents had hired her to work here for so many years precisely because of that! After receiving guidance from Lin Yi and her close girlfriends, Han Xuewei''s mood also stabilized quite a bit, but raising one''s own children was never an easy task. She was slightly depressedtely due to worrying too much about the baby, so starting today she had to control her emotions better and adjust her mentality as a priority. Moreover, there wasn''t anything that couldn''t be resolved. However, after Vivi and the babies were frightened by arge dog in themunity, Lin Yi became even more determined to move to the vi in the city center as soon as possible. Once they moved there, the backyard would have several hundred square meters, and if they wanted to take walks or stroll, they couldpletely do so in their own backyard without worrying about being frightened byrge dogs. Moreover, as the baby grew bigger, he would definitely y outside, so moving there would be safer. Although the greening here was quite well managed and there was infrastructure specifically for children to y with, they had three babies and sometimes really couldn''t keep an eye on all of them. Therefore, their own backyard was more reassuring byparison, and he could also build entertainment facilities for the babies in the yard. Seeing Da Bao''s face turn red with effort while he pooped, Lin Yi became quite interested and moved closer, even encouraging his son, "Come on, son! Daddy is rooting for you!" "Son, just hold on a bit longer and get all that stuff that''s been umting in your belly out!" Aunt Wang and the two maternity matrons were also nervously watching, and at this time, it was as if the little brother and sister could feel what their big brother was doing. They began to wave their hands and feet, as if they were cheering their brother on! Instead, Han Xuewei, seeing everyone''s reactions, couldn''t help but snicker to herself, after all, the situation was indeed quiteical. When Lin Yi noticed that Han Xuewei finally cracked a knowing smile, he felt a lot more at ease and started to joke around with even greater enthusiasm. All of a sudden¡ª there came a "pfft" sound from the room! Da Bao had farted! "Baby did a poo-poo!" To get a better look at whether the baby had actually done a number two, Lin Yi pulled back the diaper a bit and just like that, everyone saw the baby spray poop out!! Almost his entire back was covered in it! Lin Yi instinctively stepped back, "Oh my God, this¡­" "I thought it was just a fart!" Lin Yi burst outughing beside, "Let daddy have a good look, just how much could you hold after not pooing for days? Look how worried you made your mom." Han Xuewei smiled on the side and leaned in closer as well. Aunt Wang quickly interjected, "Alright, alright, nothing to see here, let''s give the baby a bath! He''s covered in it now!" Lin Yi also sighed helplessly, "Oh my dear big boy! If you''re gonna do a poo-poo, just do a poo-poo, why did you have to get it all over yourself!" Han Xuewei stepped forward and picked up Da Bao, noticing that his entire back was smeared with yellow poop! The people present all showed faces of disgust, "Ew! The whole room smells like it¡­" Experience more content on m v|l e''-NovelBin At this moment, Han Xuewei was still holding the baby with her hand and said, "Aunt Wang, could you please get some water. Lin Yi, go grab the baby''s clothes, we''re giving him a bath!" You can''t bathe with a back full of poop; you have to rinse it off first! Throughout this whole time, Han Xuewei had never anticipated that her baby, who had such a healthy routine and drank milk normally, would still end up constipated. If such an incident were to happen again in the future, at least she would have the experience and know how to handle it, not worrying excessively like today. After hearing Han Xuewei''s words, everyone busied themselves with preparations. They were all pitching in to clean up the baby when the employee from "Fortune Baby" already arrived at the door. Lin Yi quickly washed his hands and went to the door to move things. Finally, after hauling in all the shopped items into the room, the employee also pulled out three baby walkers from the trunk, one red and two light blue. Lin Yi took all the probiotics and stuff into the baby''s room, just as Han Xuewei was pouring some warm water into the bottles, getting ready to give the babies a drink. Aunt Wang added, "With July fast approaching, the weather is really hot, and the babies are getting dehydrated, so we need to replenish their water regrly every day." Lin Yi took out a packet of probiotics and passed it over, "Half a pack each day is enough, I checked the instructions, and it''s best mixed in the morning. So let''s give it to the baby tomorrow! Here''s also some Seven-Star tea, it''s very sweet; you only need to pour out 25 grams each time, about a quarter will do." Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Jinguo Hotel Meanwhile, Lin Yi heard the familiar notification sound in his mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host, you havepleted the daily task of caring for the baby and earned a system reward of eight hundred thousand!" Aunt Wang ced all the items in the corner, then checked the instructions one by one. After familiarizing herself with them, she brewed Seven-Star tea for each of the three babies. At the same time, Lin Yi''s mother and Han Xuewei''s mother also returned home from shopping, both carrying many bags of various sizes. They even managed to find a baby stroller that could amodate all three babies from some department store! Discover hidden content at m,v l''e-NovelBin It has to be said, the design of this stroller was quite excellent, with the three seats distributed in a triangr formation. Although it appearedpact, the interior was surprisingly spacious! Even if only one person was pushing the stroller, they could manage itpletely. Both mothers had their eyes set on this stroller the moment they saw it in the shopping mall. After choosing the stroller, they sent photos of it to the family group chat immediately, but Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, being so busy with the children''s matters, hadn''t found the time to take a look. The two mothers excitedly wheeled the stroller into the nursery, which was already piled with many shopping boxes. Lin Yi''s mother came rushing over to everyone and said, "Come quick, take a look! See what we both have bought today!" Lin Yi and Han Xuewei hurriedly came over with the babies in their arms, and everyone gathered in the living room on the same floor. Seeing the mothers with theirrge and small packages, they too were dumbfounded! "Wow! No way, Mom! How did you buy so much all at once?" Lin Yi eximed in astonishment. Lin Yi''s mother, in a flurry, put all the purchased items together while Han Xuewei''s mother helped to organize them. After finally clearing the stroller, Lin Yi''s mother proudly said, "Look at this, we fell in love with this baby stroller at first sight. It''s perfect, isn''t it? It wille in handy when the three babies are one-year-old! We actually shouldn''t have bought it so early, but after leaving the store, we couldn''t stop thinking about it. In the end, we gritted our teeth and went back to get it!" Han Xuewei''s mother continued, "Right, when we saw this baby stroller, we were totally enchanted. It''s so much more convenient. In the future, we just need to push this one when going out! To find such a stroller is really difficult because it''s rare for a family to have triplets. We are not good at online shopping, so seeing it in the mall felt like fate. After some thought, we just bought it directly!" Lin Yi looked at the baby stroller and smiled, saying, "This little stroller does seem pretty nice! And it must be very practical. Let''s give it a wash first to get rid of the germs on it, and then we can store it. We''ll take it out when we need itter." At this point, Han Xuewei also added, "It looks beautiful too. You both have a good eye for picking things!" Seeing Lin Yi and Han Xuewei very satisfied with the purchases, Lin Yi''s mother and Han Xuewei''s mother were of course very happy. Han Xuewei then said, "Mother-inw, Mom, Da Bao finally had a bowel movement. We''ve just been busy cleaning it up." As soon as Han Xuewei finished speaking, the baby in her arms began to babble, as if he were trying to tell grandma and grandmother about his day too. Seeing the adorable babbling of the baby, Han Xuewei''s mother hurried forward to take the child, "Oh my, let grandmother have a look, how was our little rascal today?" Han Xuewei quickly handed the baby over to her mother, and then went to look at the spoils of their shopping spree. After a quick scan, she asked, "It looks like you''ve bought so many things! What''s inside all these bags?" Han Xuerui''s mother had just taken the baby into her arms, but immediately handed him back to Han Xuewei, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I haven''t had the chance to wash my hands since I got back! Most of what we bought today is for the baby, and I''ve noticed the prices for baby products aren''t low these days. Just wait for us a moment, we''lle over after washing our hands and changing our clothes." Lin Yi''s mother neatly arranged the things they purchased and then said, "My inw, let''s cut off the tags! Then we should wash these clothes. The sun is still quite strong, we can dry them on the balcony in no time." After listening, Han Xuewei''s mother also hurried over to help, "Right, let''s finish this work and then wash our hands!" Having said that, the two mothers worked together to unwrap all the shopping bags and showed everyone the clothes they had bought for the baby. Lin Yi had been watching Han Xuewei all along, only when he saw Han Xuewei''s contented smile could he truly rx. Perhaps only when there was an issue with the babies did Han Xuewei feel anxious because of her worry. But as long as the babies were healthy and had no problems, Han Xuewei wouldn''t feel anxious. In short, Lin Yi had to be constantly attentive to Han Xuewei''s mood, it was best not to let Han Xuemei be alone, as that''s when she was most prone to overthinking. Ever since Lin Yi learned that Han Xuewei showed mild postpartum depression symptoms, he hadn''t let her out of his sight, sticking to her like a shadow. Eventually, the unusual behavior disyed by Lin Yi was noticed by both mothers. One day, after Han Xuewei fell asleep, Lin Yi''s mother and mother-inw called him out for a questioning, "Lin Yi, what has happened? What exactly is going on with Vivi?" The mother-inw spoke with marked concern, "I''ve been feeling you''ve been watching Vivi very closely these past few days. Did something happen?" Lin Yi''s odd behavior during this period had already raised their suspicions, and now they were waiting for Lin Yi to confirm it. Lin Yi lowered his voice and said to his mother and mother-inw, "Mom, mother-inw, I''ve heard that new moms can easily suffer from postpartum depression, so I thought I''d give her extra care. We mustn''t let Vivi fall victim to this condition. A couple of days ago, Vivi went out for a meal with her best friend, her friend Qin Xiaoxu told me that Vivi was showing some mild depression symptoms. That''s why I''ve been watching over her these days. After observing her for some days, I see that Vivi''s condition has been quite stable." The mother-inw quickly asked in concern, "What could be the reason for Vivi to experience this condition?" Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then answered, "The biggest reason is the baby. After all, everyone has been caring for her, and perhaps it''s the worry of being a mother for the first time that causes her to overthink, to the point that a very minor thing can lead to endless spection and worry." Chapter 124 Yang Fans Predicament Lin Yi''s mother nodded after hearing this and said, "Yeah, I think so too, especially since the twins were scared by that big dogst time. Then every time they sleep, they needed an adult to soothe them. Vivi spent a long time in the nursery when she was breastfeeding, and it wasn''t until I urged her that she went back to her room. It seems we still need to be concerned about everything... at least let Vivi calm her emotions." Han Xuewei''s mother also said, "That''s right, Xue Mei has been sensitive since she was young, but after all, she''s in the postpartum period now, and she can''t help it. We should give her more care ordinarily and not let her worry too much about the babies." The other two people also nodded in agreement. Now everyone unanimously agreed that as long as the babies were taken care of well, Vivi wouldn''t have anything to worry about, and they could also pay more attention to her emotions regrly. After all, all mothers in the world love their own children! That''s all everyone can do within their power now. Fortunately, Han Xuewei''s symptoms were quite mild, probably at an early stage. It was discovered rtively early, so everything was still manageable. So, under the meticulous care of the whole family, Han Xuewei''s mood had gradually improved a lot, and her sleep quality had also improved over these days. Han Xueweiy quietly and whispered in the ear of a half-asleep Lin Yi, "I love you, husband. You''ve been so good to me." It was at this moment that Lin Yi''s mind heard the system''s notification! "Ding! Congrattions to the host for touching your wife''s heart, you have received a special reward ¡ª Jinguo Hotel!" Just like that, he suddenly woke up, opening his eyes in an instant to see Han Xuewei gently gazing at him. Lin Yi''s gaze also softened a lot. He then embraced Han Xuewei in his arms and said, "Why are you staring at me like that? Did you get dazzled by my handsomeness?" Han Xuewei lightly pounded on his chest and said, "Pfft, vain... " Lin Yi immediately leaned in and rubbed his face against Han Xuewei''s forehead a few times: "How am I being vain? Clearly, you were woken up by my handsomeness, and you won''t admit it..." Han Xuewei wriggled free from his arms and then gave Lin Yi a kiss on the lips. Lin Yi took a deep breath, a sly smile on his face, "Do you realize you''re ying with fire?" During these days, Lin Yi had been constantly mindful of Han Xuewei''s feelings, so they hadn''t had any deepmunication for several days. For a moment, Lin Yi really couldn''t hold back! ...¡­ The next morning, Lin Yi came down from upstairs feeling refreshed, just as his father-inw was having breakfast. So he asked, "Father-inw, how has the restaurant renovation been these past few days?" The father-inw, beaming with joy, smiled and said to Lin Yi, "The progress is quite fast, beyond my expectations! The plumbing and electrical work are almost finished, and at this rate, I reckon we canplete it before the 20th. Especially your roommate, he works worth two people, such a good young man. If I had another daughter, I''d definitely set her up with him." Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat as he listened... It seemed that starting early had its benefits! After drinking a soy milk, his father-inw then said to him, "Lin Yi, would you be interested in taking over in the future? The restaurant has a lot of potential." Lin Yi smiled and replied, "Look at what you''re saying, if there''s ever anything that needs my help, I will definitely lend a hand. How could I possibly stand by idly? After all, you only have that one daughter, if I don''t share some of the burden, it will all fall on her. Right?" Lin Yi had actually already made up his mind, he was married to Han Xuewei, but after all, this was her family''s property, so it should be under Han Xuewei''s name, and he was at most there to help manage it. Han Xuewei''s dad understood what Lin Yi meant too, he would just be helping Vivi share the load, as eventually, all these things would still belong to Vivi. However, as a father-inw, he didn''t make such a clear distinction and felt it was the same no matter who it was given to. Today, Lin Yi was supposed to feed the baby in the room when his roommate Qiang Hengxuan chased after him with a phone call. "Lin Yi, I''ve got some explosive news to tell you! Do you know what Yang Fan is up to? I just happened to hear some news about him, his dad just opened a restaurant for him, and now something huge has happened!" Lin Yi was well aware of the predicament Yang Fan was about to face, so he simply asked indifferently, "Oh? What big event has urred?" Qiang Hengxuan continued unabated, "Everyone was envious when they heard that his dad opened a restaurant for him, but since this incident, everyone has been sighing." "That hotel had just been renovated not long ago, for about seven or eight days, before he received the news that the whole street was going to be expropriated and demolished. Actually, I had heard that the area was going to be demolished five or six years ago, but there had been no movement. But he really didn''t expect his luck to be so bad; just after renovating, before he even had the chance to show what he could do, this happened... Hahaha, his luck is just too bad. The more I think about it, the funnier it gets! I even went to his restaurant a few days ago. The renovation was clearly very costly, quite luxurious! The area wasn''t small either, the renovation fees must have been at least two or three million!" "Can there be anyone more miserable than him? He hasn''t even had his grand opening, and now he has no choice but to demolish it. Thendlord of the shop was clever too¡ªthere was no mention of such sudden circumstances in the contract, so he can only ept his bad luck. Hahaha, he can only shoulder this loss himself!" Qiang Hengxuanughed out loud. Discover exclusive tales on mvl Lin Yi also smiled faintly and said, "Such a person really deserves it, well, let''s not talk about him. How''s your job search going?" All the events about to happen to Yang Fan were within his expectations, and even without Lin Yi''s intervention, his older brother had left a trick up his sleeve! But Lin Yi was still quite concerned about Qiang Hengxuan. When Qiang Hengxuan was asked this question, he was momentarily confused, "You asked about Yang Fan''s situation before, I thought you were pretty anxious, so as soon as I got the news, I immediately reported to you! Why do you seem to not care that much?" After saying that, he thought for a moment, then said, "I''ve already got my diploma, but as for a job... I''ll talk about thatter!" Lin Yi responded, "Mm-hmm, work is important, you can''t be as yful as before anymore. Ah, it''s time to feed the baby, I need to go. We''ll chat another time." Qiang Hengxuanughed mischievously on the other end of the phone, "Hahaha, who would have thought our Brother Lin would be revolving around his wife and child every day now¡ªeh?" Lin Yi smiled knowingly, then said, "Don''t be too happy too soon, one day you''ll understand this feeling too." Chapter 125 Han Xueweis Cousin Qiang Hengxuan uttered a meaningful tsk and said, "Dude, I''m still single right now and can''t think that far ahead, so I don''t need to worry about that at all! Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. Go feed the three little ones!" As Lin Yi listened to the phone, he helped his little daughter Mengmeng prop up the milk bottle, watching her gulp it down voraciously, and he couldn''t help but think how adorably chubby her little cheeks were! He really wanted to give her a big kiss! As the day they had agreed on approached, the family got everything ready the night before and loaded it into the RV. Han Xuewei''s father was in charge of driving with the two maternity matrons, while Lin Yi drove the RV with Han Xuewei and both mothers on board, apanied by Aunt Wang to help take care of the babies easily. Lin Yi and his dad first drove their own car to bring over some uncles and older rtives. Although there wasn''t enough room, it was fine because the uncles and older rtives had their own cars as well. Lin Yi''s maternal rtives also drove over, and looking around, the entire convoy had a total of ten cars! Seeing that Lin Yi''s parents brought so many rtives, Han Xuewei''s mom could tell how much they valued their daughter, so she was naturally very happy. Discover hidden tales at mvl They were a big family, and the core of a big family is unity, and the more united they are, the stronger their rtionships be, allowing them to develop further into the future. Even if some big families aren''t very wealthy, if one person makes a fortune, the other family members will also be lifted up. It had to be said that the family Lin Yi belonged to was extremely united; his original family was very harmonious. About two hourster, the entire convoy slowly pulled up in front of the main branch of "Han Family Private Kitchen" that Han Xuewei''s dad had opened in their hometown. At the entrance of this main branch, Han family rtives had already arrived early to prepare for receiving guests. Han Xuewei''s uncles, aunts, and other rtives warmly came forward to greet them when they saw the convoy arrive. "Oh my, you must have had a hard time on the road, traveling for so long. You must be tired, right?" "Wee, wee!" Lin Yi''s Uncle Lin Xibei smiled and came forward to shake hands, saying, "Don''t mention it, don''t mention it, thanks for weing us!" Lin Jie was seriously looking at his phone, sending messages while following his father inside. The restaurant was decorated in a traditional Chinese style, not exactly luxurious, but it looked quite impressive! Being the main branch, it was quite majestic, the whole building being divided into threeyers. Lin Yi remembered his father-inw saying that eachyer exceeded one thousand square meters. The First Layer was primarily for entertaining parties of four or fewer guests, with a portion set aside as the kitchen. The Second Layer was fully opened up for hosting banquets. And the topyer consisted entirely of private rooms. As Lin Yi and others got out of the RV carrying the babies, the aunts quickly pushed the strollers over. Lin Yi''s mother couldn''t help but marvel at the sight of the restaurant, "Wow, such a big building! The rent collected each year must be quite a bit, right?" Han Xuewei''s mother replied with a smile, "Actually, there wasn''t much investment; thend was already ours, so we don''t have to pay any rent." When Han Xuewei''s father was young, he had bought quite a lot ofnd, so now all of their businesses were built on these ownednds. After hearing this, Lin Yi''s mother became even more surprised, "My goodness, the area of thisnd doesn''t look small at all. The initial investment must have been hefty!" Han Xuewei''s mother said, "It was manageable, I suppose, at that time we did put all of our family wealth into it. That''s all in the past now. You must be hungry after the journey, right? Let''s all go inside and have lunch quickly, and see how our homecooked dishes taste." With that, she ushered in dozens of people. Knowing that Lin Yi''s parents had invited many rtives over, Han Xuewei''s parents only called in seven or eight rtives, which made hosting the banquet easier. The midday banquet was akin to a wee feast, and Han Xuewei''s parents quickly arranged for all the rtives from Lin Yi''s side to stay in a high-end local hotel, but for Lin Yi and his parents, they were directly brought to their family vi. Han Xuewei''s grandmother used to alternate stays between her two sons'' houses, but Han Xuewei''s father hade to Xiangcheng, so she stayed with her eldest son for the time being. Although Han Xuewei''s father wanted to take her to Xiangcheng as well, the elderlydy preferred not to hassle herself with traveling back and forth. When her grandmother''s big birthday arrived, the birthday banquet was held in "Han Family''s Home Cooking." On that day, the restaurant was almost stered with therge character "Sh¨°u" (longevity). One could see from afar the very festive couplets pasted at the entrance, and a long red carpetid out front, with colorful lights decorating both the inside and outside¡ªit was an extraordinarily lively day. Han family''s matriarch''s husband had passed away a few years ago, and now her two sons were taking care of her in her old age. The elder son, Han Chunping, was a doctor at the local hospital, a down-to-earth and honest man, though not adept at doing business. The younger son, Han Xinmin, took over the restaurant from his father and gradually developed it to where it stood today, making a name for itself in the local dining industry. So, on this day, the restaurant saw quite a few customers, and of course, they all came for the face of the Han family. On the day itself, the Han family''s grandmother was dressed in a red Tang suit, looking dignified and imposing. Though she was already in her eighties, her eyes were bright and full of life, making her look much younger than her age¡ªyears behind her peers. Surrounded by rtives, today''s matriarch was receiving congrattions all around amidstughter and joy. Naturally, the elderlydy was very happy and did not forget to nod and praise her younger son, Han Xinmin, with a smile. After all, if it weren''t for her younger son Han Xinmin''s capability, her birthday celebration would not have had such grandeur! Han Xuemei, who is also Han Xuewei''s cousin, wore a dress that day, sporting a freshly cut bob and her makeup was particrly dazzling. Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn''t help but startining again about her incapable parents, her dissatisfaction having nowhere to vent! Her father was the grandfather''s eldest son, but why was the restaurant left to her second uncle? How exactly did her second uncle monopolize it? And now Han Xuewei had even found an extremely wealthy husband! She had long heard from her parents that Han Xuewei''s husband was now worth quite a bit! Over ten billion at least! And they owned two big vis, had several cars at home, and had savings that one couldn''t spend in a lifetime! If her own father hadn''t been so spineless, the signboard of "Han Family''s Home Cooking" would be in her father''s hands, and she, today, would have to be even more glorious than Han Xuewei! Chapter 126 An Undeniable Green Tea Han Xuemei''s family conditions were considered quite eptable. Her father was at least a chief physician, which meant that her family was on the path to modest prosperity. They might not have had a vi, but they still lived in a rtively upscale neighborhood. Looking back, Han Xuemei saw her grandmother''s face filled with joy, lovingly doting on Han Xuewei''s baby. Her anger was beyond words! She turned around and ran out in a huff! Once outside the door, she saw a long line of people who hade to offer birthday congrattions. Among them were some of the well-known wealthy of Xiao Chuan County. Dressed in their finery, suits, and shoes, each held an expensive gift in hand. Jealousy was about to spill out from her eyes!! Everyone was discussing how the Han family had a young miss, Han Xuewei, who was lovely and beloved by all who met her. What they didn''t know was that there was another young miss in the Han family¡ªHan Xuemei! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became! As she was turning around, the tall figure of a very impressive person came into view. Although she quickly controlled her emotions, the other party still witnessed the scene. Walking towards the dining room, this tall figure had the perfect build, looking just like a male god from theics, with neat short hair and a face with smooth lines which outlined his handsome and dashing appearance. This person was her cousin-inw, Lin Yi! When Lin Yi saw the expression on Han Xuemei''s face, his brow furrowed. Han Xuewei had already introduced this girl to him; she was Han Xuewei''s cousin. But why did she look so strange just now? Almost ferocious. Lin Yi immediately chanted in his mind, "Activate Art of Discernment!" Two secondster, he received feedback from the system: "This person is a gold digger, without a doubt, a green tea!" When Han Xuemei realized the man before her was her cousin''s husband, she was also taken aback, having not expected her cousin''s husband to be here. While she was still feeling embarrassed, suddenly an idea sprouted in her mind! To be precise, it was a scheme! Han Xuewei and Han Xuemei were cousins of the same age, with Han Xuewei being born two months earlier. However, both were now seniors in college. Han Xuemei was majoring in dance, so she was very strict about maintaining her figure. She was particrly pleased with her willowy waist, a feature she was proud of! She controlled her figure in all aspects every day. Besides being careful with her diet, she also had her own personal trainer as well as a nutritional meal n, strictly managing her daily calorie intake. Han Xuewei had previously expressed jealousy of her figure, so Han Xuemei secretly vowed to keep her figure in check, not allowing herself to get fat! Han Xuemei had arge social circle but in her eyes, there appeared to be no man in Xiao Chuan County worthy of her attention. Otherwise, with her figure and looks, she should have at least had a decent boyfriend by now! As she concocted this scheme in her mind, the corners of her mouth lifted in a subtle smile that went unnoticed. She confidently sashayed over with her willowy waist, blocking Lin Yi''s path. Thetter was momentarily startled but then stood still, observing her with a frown. Being scrutinized by Lin Yi, Han Xuemei started to feel ufortable, at a loss for what to do, and eventually averted her gaze from Lin Yi''s. Nevertheless, she firmly believed that this feeling was love at first sight! Yes, she was utterly taken by Lin Yi''smanding presence! "Are you today''s guest?" Lin Yi deliberately pretended not to recognize her and asked. When she heard that maic voice, Han Xuemei nearly swooned. She couldn''t help but swallow her saliva hastily and replied, "Yes, I am." Lin Yi sized her up, and thanks to the people-recognition system provided, he had a poor impression of the girl in front of him. However, when Han Xuemei saw Lin Yi staring at her, she stood even straighter, confident that he admired her. Han Xuemei couldn''t help but feel surprised herself; as their eyes met, her heartbeat elerated. After a long while, Han Xuemei finally remembered to introduce herself: "Um, Han Xuewei is my cousin; we''ve lived together since we were kids... Are you out for a stroll to clear your mind?" Lin Yi picked up the baby bottle and said to her, "No, I forgot the bottle in my car, so I came out specially to get it." The baby is crying from hunger now! Han Xuemei looked at the baby bottle and was taken aback. "You''re getting the bottle, huh? Let''s go back to the restaurant together," she offered. As Han Xuemei tried to reach out and take the bottle, Lin Yi stepped back half a step and said, "It''s okay; I can carry it myself." Lin Yi didn''t say much more to her and headed straight to the restaurant. But Han Xuemei really had a thick skin; she just kept following him, annoyingly trying to make conversation. On this short walk, she tried several times to take the bottle, but Lin Yi blocked her attempts every time. Meanwhile, others also started to look their way, and in no time, the crowd at the scene was buzzing with chatter. "Are they both here to attend the birthday banquet too? That guy is so handsome, but who''s the girl next to him?" "You don''t know the girl? She''s another granddaughter of Old Madam Han, named Han Xuemei." "But the guy looks unfamiliar; could she have brought her boyfriend with her?" "Not at all. He''s the son-inw of Han Xinmin, the second son of Old Madam Han, and the dutiful husband of Han Xuewei!" "Turns out he''s the father of the twins! Hahaha, I must say, Han Xuewei really didn''t have it easy, getting pregnant with triplets all at once. This family is truly blessed!" "I feel the same way, and I also heard that her husband gave Han Xuewei a car, and after having the children, he even bought her a vi! And the diamond jewelry he prepared isn''t cheap either! Moreover, the vi is in Han Xuewei''s name! Right in the city center, over nine hundred square meters!" "Ah?? That expensive! That''s a vi in the city center, after all! It''s unimaginable!" "Wow, I didn''t expect her husband to be in such good conditions!" "If you ask me, her husband is pretty lucky too, after all, Han Xuewei is one of the top beauties in our entire county, and she''s got a great figure, right?" "Hahahaha, which kind of lucky are you talking about?" ...... And Han Xuemei heard their conversations, by then, jealousy had made herpletely unrecognizable! When Lin Yi saw everyone warmly greeting him, he also nodded his head politely in response, without saying much. He went straight to Han Xuewei''s side, passed the baby bottle to his mother-inw and Aunt Wang, and casually wrapped his arm around Han Xuewei''s waist. Then he whispered in her ear: "Wife, do we need to find a private room for the babies to feed?" Chapter 127 Understated Luxury Han Xuemei''s little face turned red as she nodded. All of this was witnessed by Han Xuemei standing behind. "It''s Xue Mei, isn''t it?" the Han family''s olddy said, looking at Han Xuemei behind her, suddenly speaking up. Only after being called out did Han Xue react, hastily recalling her purpose and then quickly smiling and saying, "Grandma, today is your birthday, Xue Mei wishes you the same joy you find today, every year and every age!" The Han family''s olddy''s face burst into a smile, "Good, good, good, have a seat quickly." Han Xuewei''s mother and Lin Yi''s mother were holding the older and younger brothers, while Han Xuewei was holding her little daughter, Mengmeng. The three of them, each with a milk bottle in hand. Han Xuewei''s mother even turned her head to say to the Han family''s olddy, "Mom, please wait a moment, we''lle out after feeding the milk, otherwise the kids are going to cryter." The old Mrs. Han reluctantly withdrew her hand from pinching the baby''s little face and said with a smile, "Mm, the children''s mouths are all puckered up from hunger, go and feed them! You don''t have to worry about things here, there are other people." The two old fathers were busy weing guests, receiving gifts from them, and then leading them to wish the olddy happy returns. Han Xuemei said to the olddy, "Then I would like to take a look, too, as today is my first time seeing the baby." After listening to her, the olddy also smiled and said, "Mm, then you go take a look! Don''t just watch the excitement, you need to hurry up for me too, I''m waiting to see your children in the future!" Hearing grandma actually hurrying her, Han Xuemei''s face instantly turned red, but shyly said, "Oh, Grandma, I don''t even have a boyfriend yet..." Having said that, she followed Lin Yi and the others and ran off, while the old Mrs. Han watched everyone leave with a face full of kindly warmth. Lin Yi led everyone to a private room, but to his reluctance, Han Xuemei had the nerve to follow them in. Perhaps it was because the first impression was so bad that he always felt Han Xuemei was approaching with an ulterior motive and deep down did not like her, but she was Han Xuewei''s cousin, so he couldn''t be too obvious with his attitude. Lin Yi guarded Han Xuewei like this, and the entering Han Xuemei wasn''t a stranger, so she simply started feeding the milk. At that time, Han Xuemei approached the babies, watching them with a beaming smile. Seeing this scene, Han Xuewei''s motherughed and asked, "Xuemei, you should find a partner too, right? At least start dating, let us also hold your baby. We''re moving to Xiangchengter, the olddy loves children so much, andter she''ll be waiting for you to bring your children to see her." Upon hearing these words, Han Xuemei''s expression suddenly became much dimmer. Ha, your whole family is going to develop in Xiangcheng, leaving us behind? Do we have to live here forever? Can''t I, Han Xuemei, go to a bigger city like you? Impossible! I will never stay here forever! Han Xuemei just smiled faintly and then said, "I also think about going to a broader city to broaden my horizons just like my sister, and I hope to find my own Prince Charming just like her, preferably as outstanding as my cousin-inw." After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s mother was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing. If it were someone else, they certainly would have exchanged pleasantries first before saying that they are still young and can''t find a suitable match so soon. However, from Han Xuemei''s words, it wasn''t hard to tell that her desire was just too strong! But Han Xuewei''s mom didn''t say much, replying with a simple, "After all, she''s young. It''s only right for her to go out and see the world." Yet, this statement took on a different meaning in Han Xuemei''s eyes, "Heh, your son-inw''s qualifications are so good, but I haven''t heard you say anything about helping me. You''re really being petty, huh? Tch! Selfish!" About fifteen minutester, all three babies had begun their post-meal nap, with Aunt Wang and the two Maternity Matrons watching over them as they slept. The little ones had gotten up early this morning and had also been in the car for so long. They must have been extremely tired, so it was a good opportunity for them to get some good sleep. The others came out to keep the olddypany. They took their seats at thergest main table. When the olddy saw everyone return, she asked with a smile, "How did the children feed? Are they all asleep now?" Han Xuewei''s mom quickly responded, "Mom, they''re sleeping soundly now. They should wake up just after we finish eating." The olddy nodded in satisfaction and said, "Later on, bring the children out. I have some gifts for them! As soon as I heard you wereing, I specially prepared three red envelopes. I must hand them over personally." Han Xuewei''s mom said with augh, "Mom, you''ve really gone to a lot of trouble." It was rare for the olddy to show such fondness for the babies, and Han Xuewei''s mom felt truly happy from the bottom of her heart. By around noon, all eighty-eight tables in the hall were filled with guests. At the front and center, an eye-catching bright red "Shou" character stood out, making for a grand scene! Especially magnificent! Looking around the venue, the entire decor was in a traditional Chinese style. Although it wasn''t as opulent as a star-rated hotel, the grandeur was certainly luxurious. The guests invited were also extraordinary, at least being somewhat well-known and wealthy from various industries. Han Xuewei''s father, Han Xinmin, didn''t actually like to make a big deal out of events. He preferred to keep a low profile, and nowadays, he focused all his attention on the three babies. Even today''s gathering was simply out of obligation, and his main intent was to greet the guests who had dealings with him from time to time. He also had it figured out that he wanted to step back from business within the next few years to concentrate on taking care of his family, as the future belonged to the younger generation and he would eventually step out of the market. Gradually, he nned to hand over all his shops in Xiaochuan County to his rtives. Moreover, he had been busy recently training several capable assistants. As for everything in Xiangcheng, he would let his daughter and son-inw take over. Whether the future was bright or grim, the restaurant would belong to them. The main store opened in Xiangcheng would serve as their wedding gift! Amidst everyone''s discussion, a rtive from the Han family suddenly asked, "Logically, as Han Xinmin''s son-inw, Lin Yi should be presenting a congrattory gift to the olddy. Why hasn''t it appeared yet?" "That''s unknown. Maybe he already gave something in advance." "Pssh, listen to you. Han Xinmin''s son-inw''s family is quite wealthy; they can afford to give a vi of more than nine hundred square meters in the city center. Would theyck such small gifts?" Lin Yi''s father, overhearing the guests''ments, immediately got worked up. He quickly urged his son to call the jewelry store and ask when the items they had selected yesterday would be delivered. Chapter 128 The Pure Gold Peach of Longevity In fact, Lin Yi and his father had selected the birthday present for the olddy the night before, but they did not bring it with them. Instead, they had instructed the people from the gold shop to ensure its delivery today. The reason for this was to avoid Han Xuewei''s parents frommenting on how expensive the gift was. So, Lin Yi''s father had the manager of Lin Yi''s gold shop make a phone call to inquire about the current status of the delivery. "Lin Yi, has the item not arrived yet? Isn''t it a bit toote?" Lin Yi replied anxiously, "Dad, I''m even more anxious than you are. I asked about it ten minutes ago, and they said because the item is so valuable, it needs to be escorted by security personnel. They asked us to wait patiently." Lin Yi''s father shrugged helplessly and said, "They saidst night that it would be delivered by twelve o''clock, but it''s already ten minutes past, and we''re about to start dinner. If it''s anyter, it will lose its meaning! Could it be that it will only arrive once everyone has finished eating and the party is over?" Lin Yi''s father''s concerns were not unfounded. After all, it was the Lin Family''s first time attending a joyous event of the Han family. If they couldn''t even produce a birthday present, they would beughed at by rtives. Even though before this, Han Xuewei''s mother had brought arge supply of nourishing gifts for the olddy, at most this could only be considered her personal greeting gift and could not be counted as a birthday present for the elder! While the father and son were worrying, the elevator door on one side of the banquet hall slowly opened, and out came a person dressed in a sharp, sophisticated suit. Behind him followed several security personnel dressed in uniform ck, surrounding a cab that appeared to be about a meter tall. Their arrival attracted many people''s attention and started discussions among the crowd, "Oh, that person is the manager from our county''s leading jewelry shop, Da Fu Gold!" "How familiar, so it was him." "And he''s got a safe with him, quite a statement. Could it be a birthday gift for the olddy?" "Anyway, this setup is far from simple, so many bodyguards following him, it''s indeed a bit mysterious." "Could it be filled with gold? Isn''t that a bit too extravagant?" Most of those present today were wealthy businessmen from various sectors, and for people like them, gold was the best asset to preserve value. Da Fu Gold Shop is considered thergest gold shop in the county. However, it''s said that the owner of Da Fu Gold Shop is from out of town and happens to be away on a business trip these days, so the manager brought this generous gift instead. Lin Yi''s father, who had been anxiously checking his watch and watching the elevator, was the first to notice themotion over there. He quickly grabbed Lin Yi and ran towards the elevator entrance, shouting as he went, "Manager Guo, over here!" Manager Guo smiled immediately upon seeing the father and son and hurriedly came over to greet them, "I''m so sorry for the inconvenience, there was a bit of a traffic jam, so we''re slightly behind schedule!" Lin Yi''s father hastily said, "It''s alright, dinner hasn''t started yet. Otherwise, it would have been a real problem. Evenining wouldn''t have made me feel better!" Manager Guo quickly apologized with a smile and instructed the security personnel to push the safe forward, for the father and son to inspect, "Gentlemen, this is the Gold Peach of Longevity you reserved at our store. We have delivered it for you!" "Our tardiness was our fault, we hope you can forgive us, and the safe will be aplimentary gift!" Becausepared to this pure Gold Peach of Longevity, the safe was rtively inexpensive! After all, the price of the Gold Peach of Longevity was already several million! Lin Yi took a quick look and confirmed the receipt of the delivery. Manager Guo also hurriedly unlocked the safe and after giving a look to the security personnel, he left. All the guests were still discussing the events when Lin Yi and his father slowly pushed the safe towards the main table. They arrived beside the elderlydy and said, "Grandma, today is your birthday, we wish you longevity beyond your years. We hope you will ept this modest gift as a token of the younger generation''s affection." The Han family''s elderly matriarch, seeing how articte Lin Yi was, quickly responded with a smile, "Good, good, good. As long as it''s from my grandson-inw, I like it! I like everything!" She truly thought from the bottom of her heart that Lin Yi was a good kid! And so, Lin Yi carefully opened the safe and under the gaze of the audience, gradually revealed the Gold Peach of Longevity! It was made of pure gold! It was no light object; he and his father had weighed it¡ªtwenty-five pounds! As everyone got a clear look at the object, the room burst into astonished murmurs; the word ''surprise'' could no longer describe their reaction! Some people were very familiar with this Peach of Longevity because it was the treasure of the Great Fortune Gold Store! It had been on disy for more than a decade, with nobody buying it! The price had also skyrocketed to over five million! But nobody had expected that just yesterday, the Lin family father and son had bought it! And now, it became the olddy''s birthday gift! At this moment, everyone present was certain of the Lin family''s financial strength that was notparable to that of ordinary people! Moreover, by tomorrow, there would be a new topic of conversation in Xiao Chuan County! Looking at Han Xuemei now, her eyes were filled with veryplex emotions! Envy, jealousy, and even hatred! A five-million-worth birthday gift??!! Not just her, but everyone present had never seen anything like it before! Just how strong were the Lin family''s resources? When the Han family''s elderlydy saw the Peach of Longevity, she too was taken aback at first, but the next second, a pleased expression spread across her face, and it wasn''t hard for everyone to see that she was genuinely happy. "Oh my! Lin Yi, my inws, this... this birthday gift is too precious! We''ve already received so many gifts, you''ve really gone too far today!" Han Xuewei''s mother hastily said. Seeing the elderly''s satisfied expression, Lin Yi smiled and replied, "It''s what our younger generation ought to do, making the elder happy is what matters, don''t worry about the expense." The Han family''s elderlydy also said, "Good, this birthday gift is wonderful! Thank you for your thoughtfulness." At this moment, both Lin Yi''s mother and Han Xuewei''s mother were also quite surprised; they hadn''t anticipated that Lin Yi and his father had prepared such a birthday gift. The elderlydy promptly had her eldest son, Han Chunping, take the generous gift, and they moved the safe away. All the birthday gifts received by the elderlydy were kept in a private room for safety, and she also went there to put a password on the safe. About fifteen minutester, she returned, assisted by her eldest son. Seeing that it was gettingte, the elderly''s eldest son, Han Chunping, stood up and suggested, "Mom, it''s already half-past twelve, let''s let the guests start eating. We, the younger generation of the Han family, will write a birthday blessing for you." Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Preparing the Wedding Banquet What he referred to by writing "longevity" was for the younger generations to write the character "ÊÙ" for the olddy as a way of congratting her, which was also a local custom. The more characters written, the more it signified the number of descendants and the greater the olddy''s blessings were. Upon hearing this, Grandma Han nodded in agreement. Although Grandma Han''s granddaughters were only Han Xuewei and Han Xuemei, the children of other rtives could also be included, so for a while, those writing the "longevity" character for her nearly filled the entire stage. Grandma Han, sitting at the head of the main table, felt very honored seeing so many of her descendants. Han Xuewei, an arts college student, designed a very unique "longevity" character for her grandmother with her own creative ideas. Han Xuewei''s three babies were also brought out, and with their little hands, they pressed Hand Seals on it, which delighted the olddy beyond words when she saw it! The olddy also handed out red packets to all the younger generation who wrote the "longevity" character, with thergest undoubtedly given to Han Xuewei''s three babies. She didn''t forget to remind them, "In a few years, you''ll need to bring back even more babies." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei''s face instantly turned red, while Lin Yi''s mother hurriedly responded, "Certainly, certainly." To others, whether or not to have a second child was all the same; it mainly depended on the young couple''s wishes. If they really wanted, Lin Yi''s mother would certainly help take care of them. At that moment, a system notification also rang in Lin Yi''s mind! "Ding! Congrattions to the host, you''ve sessfully delivered a congrattory gift to your wife''s grandmother, and the system will now return double the amount of the gift!" Lin Yi was also very surprised, having not expected the congrattory gift for the olddy to be doubled in return by the system! This was indeed an unexpected windfall! After the younger generations finished writing the "longevity" character, everyone began to eat together. The birthday banquet was full ofughter and conversation,sting until about three in the afternoon before the guests gradually dispersed. Then everybody took a ride to the Han family''srge vi. Not long after arriving at the vi, Lin Yi''s phone rang. "Hello? Yes¡­ Mm¡­ where are you guys now¡­ Got it, I''ll send you a location and we''ll meet there." After finishing the call, he turned to Han Xuewei and said, "Vivi, I need to step out for a bit." Han Xuewei asked with a puzzled look, "You''re going out? Did you make ns with friends today?" Lin Yi smiled mysteriously, "I''m going to take you along to see something, you''ll understand when we get there." Uncertain, Han Xuewei finished changing the babies'' diapers, then went to her room to put on makeup and get dressed. After all, it was a matter of meeting Lin Yi''s friends, so such etiquettes were necessary, if only to show respect to them. Once she was ready, Han Xuewei asked him, "Husband, should we go now? Have they arrived already?" Lin Yi nced at his watch and said, "They said they''ll be here soon, we can still make it if we leave now." Han Xuewei nodded and replied, "Okay." Then, he sent a WeChat message to Qin Xiaoxu: "Xiaoxu, you must remember the time we agreed on, you have to ask for leave! You definitely have to be my bridesmaid! The other roommates also promised they woulde over." Qin Xiaoxu seemed to be off for a few days too, so her reply came very quickly: "Mhm, okay, don''t worry, how could I not take your matters seriously?" Han Xuewei replied with a "kissy face" emoji. At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu was busy chatting with someone who was renting a girlfriend on the confession wall. The other party, somewhat anxiously, asked: "Do you have absolutely no time on the 23rd this month? That''s too bad, my cousin''s wedding is on the 23rd, and I was hoping to bring you to meet my parents that day!" Qin Xiaoxu replied: "That''s really unfortunate, the 23rd is also my best friend''s wedding, and she needs me to be her bridesmaid, so we''ll have to pick another time." Theizen called "Don''t Love Me, It''s Hopeless" replied: "Then it can''t be helped, we''ll look for another opportunity next time. I''ve already sent your selfie over to my parents, and they''re quite satisfied, so you absolutely must not let me down at the crucial moment! If you don''t meet them, they''re definitely going to give me a hard time!" Qin Xiaoxuughed and sent a cheeky emoji, then replied: "As long as the payment is good, everything will be no problem!" ording to what this guy had said, she only needed to pretend to be his girlfriend once, but she had to give off the feeling of a gold digger. Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help but feel that she would definitely be good at it! And themission was very high, this was like a little interlude in her mundane life! A very interesting part-time job! And who knows, maybe the two of them could develop real feelings after chatting for a while, and Qin Xiaoxu could find the love she had always dreamed of! From their current interactions, this boy seemed quite reliable. No sooner had they finished chatting than he directly transferred 99 yuan to Qin Xiaoxu, who, of course, happily epted it. This "Don''t Love Me, It''s Hopeless"izen was the same guy she had seen on the confession wall, and Qin Xiaoxu had hurriedly applied for the job after seeing his message! And thisizen called "Don''t Love Me, It''s Hopeless" often forwarded screenshots of his chats with Qin Xiaoxu to his father. When his father heard that his son finally had a partner, he generously handed him a bank card with a deposit of 150,000 yuan. After giving the card to his son, Zhao Yu couldn''t contain his smile and said, "Using money to settle matters is so convenient! Who would''ve thought that just by giving my son a little love subsidy, he would get a girlfriend! It''s lucky he could afford it; otherwise, he might have ended up without a girlfriend!" Back at the Han family home, after chatting with Qin Xiaoxu for a while, Lin Yi received a call that the people on the other end had arrived at their destination. Lin Yi drove to the arranged address, and there was a moderately sized house parked by the road. Stay tuned for updates on mvl Lin Yi led these people inside, and Han Xuewei saw that they were holding various pieces of equipment that seemed to be for photography. There were four people in total, with one woman carrying a makeup bag, and the others carrying equipment. Surprised, Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi incredulously and asked, "Honey, they..." "They''re the photographers I specially hired to take our wedding photos; consider it a little surprise!" Lin Yi was moved when he saw all the equipment they brought, "Our wedding photos must be taken in the city where you grew up! Andter, when we look at the photos, I can listen to the stories of your childhood." After hearing this, Han Xuewei was quite moved, and she looked earnestly at Lin Yi, finding herself at a loss for words. Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Wedding Photos "Husband..." She really hadn''t expected that Lin Yi would prepare such a thoughtful surprise for her when he apanied her to Xiaochuan County! Lin Yi looked at her affectionately, and in a soft voice, said, "Baby, do you like it?" "Yes! I like it a lot! I really, really like it!" Han Xuewei jumped up to hug Lin Yi''s neck and eximed, "Husband! I love you!" Find adventures on mvl Han Xuewei had initially thought that Lin Yi had forgotten about the wedding dress photo shoot and, with the wedding just a few days away, there might not be enough time to do it upon returning to Xiangcheng. Moreover, the team doing the wedding dress photo shoot was very professional, and they charged one hundred and fifty thousand for a single session, which of course included the Later Stages production. And their efficiency was unmatched - photos taken today would be ready within two days! You really do get what you pay for! At that moment, the whole professional team smiled as they watched Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. The female makeup artist asked with a smile, "May we start the makeup trial now?" Lin Yi and Han Xuewei exchanged smiles and then separated from their embrace. Lin Yi told everyone, "Let''s start now!" The professionals then opened the rear door of the RV and took down quite a few pieces of equipment. They came to the front of the Han family''s vi and first set up a tent to serve as a changing room. Inside were many different styles of wedding dresses. Han Xuewei followed the female makeup artist into the RV to start applying makeup. There weren''t many outfits for Lin Yi to try on today, just a few simr styles, but Han Xuewei had a much greater selection to choose from. Lin Yi took Han Xuewei to look at these wedding dresses, then asked, "Vivi, what do you think of these wedding dresses? Are they nice? The ones we saw at their store before weren''t very clean, after all, many people had tried them on. So, I paid to have all the clothes reced with new ones. After we finish the photo shoot, we''ll just let them take all the dresses away!" Han Xuewei''s eyes widened in disbelief, "Ah? We''re buying these wedding dresses?" Han Xuewei had also considered whether to rent or buy for the wedding dress photo shoot, but after some thought, she felt it wasn''t very cost-effective to buy since they would only be used once and would take up space ordinarily. But she had never imagined that Lin Yi would buy so many all at once! And to give them to the bridal shop after wearing seemed somewhat wasteful! But Lin Yi didn''t see it that way; he believed that the wedding dress photo shoot was a very important event in life, so it had to be perfect! When Lin Yi had visited the bridal shop to select wedding dresses, he found that some were not cleaned properly, with stains still on them, or there were holes, although not very noticeable. But wearing them still made one feel ufortable! What''s more, some of the dresses even had an unpleasant odor, which was very pungent, likely due to inadequate disinfection; they seemed to just spray some disinfectant and call it cleaned, without proper washing. And in the summer, these odors would be even more irritating, and unfortunately, it was very hot at the moment! However, the cost of buying these wedding dresses wasn''t particrly high for Lin Yi, and after their return to Xiangcheng, the staff from Gezi Bridal Shop woulde to Lin Yi''s family vi. It wasn''t until that day that they officially took the wedding photos; today was just a simple preview. Moreover, these clothes weren''t very expensive, totaling just tens of thousands at most. There was a Western-style wedding dress and Chinese-style attire; the makeup artist applied an extremely exquisite makeup for her. The couple together picked out suitable clothes. They chose several outfits, as they needed to take pictures in variousbinations. After selecting, they took them to the changing room. Upon entering, Lin Yi instantly embraced Han Xuewei, and the makeup artist by their side very tactfully left. Han Xuewei pushed Lin Yi gently and whispered, "Hey, what are you doing? There are other people here." Lin Yi whispered in her ear, "The makeup artist has gone out. It''s fine, baby, you look so beautiful today!" Han Xuewei smiled and said, "Am I only beautiful today? Clearly, I''ve always been like this!" Lin Yi kissed her, "I think these outfits are all quite suitable. We have plenty of time today; I want to try on all these clothes!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei said, "Husband, we don''t have that much time, do we? We''re only here for two days, and once we go back, there''s still other stuff to take care of. Plus, you said we have to move into the vi, and mom has already picked the day." Lin Yi''s mother also found a master to calcte the best time for the move, which was set for the 20th. They had to go back at least one or two days in advance to pack everything that needed to be prepared. Lin Yi said somewhat disappointedly, "We can only do so much. I''ll first weed out the ones that aren''t quite right and try to photograph all of the rest." Han Xuewei had no way to object since all of the clothes were purchased by Lin Yi. It would indeed be a pity not to photograph them. Everyone quickly chose the scenes, and Han Xuewei led them to the park where she had always yed as a child, which also housed an open amusement park. Now, the ce was in disarray, totally abandoned, but Han Xuewei''s favorite spot as a child was right there. They went to the swing together, ran down the shady path, and sat hand in hand under that big tree... Afterward, they visited the school where Han Xuewei studied... As they took their wedding photos, they talked about Han Xuewei''s childhood memories, and through this, Lin Yi came to understand Han Xuewei even better. Because there were many outfits, the photo shoot took about two days. They were both very happy and had high hopes for the final oue. On thest day, both families gathered for a grand meal. Lin Yi''s parents briefly discussed the children''s wedding ns, and then they returned to Xiangcheng before evening. The day before moving, everyone got busy packing up again, with Lin Yi''s main task being to organize all of Han Xuewei''s clothes together, as the vi at the new Xingjing Garden was much bigger than here! Just the walk-in closet alone was twice the size of this one! So Lin Yi was thinking to himself that after moving, he must buy Han Xuewei several more sets of clothes, at least to ensure the walk-in closet wouldn''t look too empty! Although moving was a happy event, Lin Yi''s family decided not to inform other rtives because the wedding was fast approaching, and there was no need to host a banquet for moving. When the 20th arrived, Lin Yi specially called the movingpany, so everything was moved out neatly in half a day, and they spent the remaining half day arranging the new house. Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Moving House Lin Yi also brought the staff of Gezi Bridal to the new vi, and asked the whole family toe over and pick out suitable dresses! Their selection included wedding gown services, so everyone started choosing a wedding dress for Han Xuewei first, after all, this dress would hold extraordinary significance; the photos taken in this gown were to be hung in the vi! At that moment, Han Xuewei''s mother asked her husband, "Your new restaurant should be ready by now, right? Didn''t you say that our daughter''s wedding will be held there?" After hearing this, Han Xuewei''s fatherughed heartily and said, "After being married for so many years, don''t you understand me? You can set your mind at rest about my work. Before we returned to our hometown, everything at the restaurant waspleted, and even the post-renovation inspections were finished. Some of the chefs and helpers are acquaintances from back home." "The property management at the Wenqu Building is indeed good. They didn''t charge rent during the renovation period, and Lin Yi''s family''s renovationpany worked tirelessly, often making progress beyond my expectations!" He thought for a moment, then continued, "Oh, right, there''s also another piece of good news I haven''t told everyone yet. Wenqu Building offered me an additional floor for rent, which is over a thousand square meters. I gave it some thought and converted that space into private rooms." "As a restaurant, we must have private rooms no matter what. Although the space is over a thousand square meters, the price the manager offered me is still very low, just sixty thousand a month. It''s such a bargain! The rents in the city center are actually lower than other ces!" Han Xuewei''s father couldn''t contain his inner joy, believing that his luck was exceptionally good to have rented such a great space for a low budget! He paused for a moment and then excitedly said, "Let''s have our dinner there tonight! The whole family will go and taste the dishes! I''ve given all the instructions already! Everything is ready except for the east wind." Lin Yi''s mother said joyfully, "That sounds wonderful! Let''s taste our inws'' dishes," Immediately afterward, she turned her gaze to Lin Yi and asked, "Lin Yi, could the wedding photo studio you mentioned help with the wedding venue as well? Or do your father and I need to prepare anything in advance?" Lin Yi shook his head and replied, "Mom, it doesn''t have to be thatplicated. They will take care of everything, from the decoration of the wedding site to the adornment of the vehicle motorcade. They even offer a free full family portrait service. After the wedding ceremony, when it''s convenient, we''ll take the family portrait on the spot." After hearing this, Lin Yi''s mother was slightly surprised. "Right, I almost forgot about that. But since we are taking a full family portrait, let''s do it now! Then we can showcase it during the wedding ceremony! Let all the rtives and guests have a good look at our three little treasures!" Lin Yi pped his forehead as if he had just remembered something: "The hundred-day photoshoot for the kids isn''t done yet, so we might as well catch up on that now! Killing two birds with one stone!" "Let me check the time... It''s two-thirty in the afternoon now, we should still have some time, right? I''ll call and ask." It was possible that due to tight scheduling, they might not be avable. Lin Yi hurriedly made a call to inquire, and although the reply he received indicated that there was time avable, such a rush job would require additional payment. Without blinking an eye, Lin Yi immediately promised a fee of twenty thousand yuan and asked them to send their best team. All three babies were then brought out together. Han Xuewei also changed into the dress she had picked at Gezi Bridal, as well as the wedding gown and took some photos that exuded a sense of luxury. All these arrangements were made in tight session, and the photographer rushed back to edit the pictures after the shoot, finally managing to get them done. When the next day came, they had to get up early to print, and there was not a moment of rest. Finally, on the eve of the wedding, all the photographs were sessfully delivered into Lin Yi''s hands. When he received the photos, he could even smell the scent of the ink. Lin Yi also felt quite guilty as he said to Han Xuewei, "Vivi, I''m really sorry, everything feels so hasty and rushed, and much of it isst minute..." However, Han Xuewei tenderly took Lin Yi''s arm,forting him, "Honey, it''s okay, you have already worked so hard! And as your wife, I am very happy! Even if you hadn''t prepared all this, I would still marry you willingly!" After all, for most people, a wedding is just a formality, and true happiness can only be felt by oneself. Lin Yi looked at the one who was about to walk down the aisle with him with adoration and couldn''t help but get teary-eyed. After that, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei embraced each other tightly! If this had been in the past, both of them might have felt a little awkward about hugging in front of others, but after such a long period of close contact, their rtionship had grown even more like that of a husband and wife! It must be said that such intimate contact is the foundation of their affection for each other. And so, their wedding photos and the family portrait were all taken care of. On the wedding day, Lin Yi felt that the makeup artist of the wedding photo team wasn''t as skilled as the staff from Gezi bridal, so he hired thetter to help. And on that day, Han Xuewei''s cousin, Han Xuemei, also arrived; although Han Xuewei hadn''t asked her cousin to be a bridesmaid, Han Xuemei came specifically for the excitement. Thus, she followed the other bridesmaids, dressed differently, into Han Xuewei''s bedroom. Han Xuewei didn''t really know what to say; after all, it was her cousin. Since she came uninvited, she couldn''t snub her cousin''s feelings, so now she just let it be! In fact, throughout the entire wedding, there wasn''t much for Han Xuewei to worry about, as everything had been arranged just the way she wanted it. All she needed to do was adjust her mindset and be a happy bride. Lin Yi also got up very early today; it seemed the three babies knew it was a special day, and after waking up, they were dancing and full of excitement. Lin Yi called his cousin early on, asking him to be a groomsman, and also invited his college roommates and close friends. Enjoy new adventures at mvl When the group arrived at Lin Yi''s vi, they werepletely astonished! After all, who had ever seen a vi of over nine hundred square meters? "I have to say, Lin Yi, who would''ve thought you''d get a new ce for the wedding! Quite the grandeur!" Yet Lin Yi just smiled faintly and said, "Well, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, there will be bread, and everything is possible." His cousin Lin Jie was even more surprised, having heard that his cousin''s parents''pany was starting to decline, but he hadn''t expected they could still afford such an expensive vi! Chapter 132 Looking at Each Other in Bewilderment ``` Right in the city center! Lin Jie also remembered that his father had lent a sum of money to his cousin''s family, but then he heard that it had all been paid back within a few days. At the time, Lin Jie didn''t think much of it, just that Lin Yi''s family might have ovee their difficulties. But now, it seemed that they had done more than just that, they had entered the spring of their careers! Lin Yi had originally nned to arrange for Han Xuewei''s wedding at the previous vi, but it was a mess after moving out and hadn''t been tidied up yet, so they had to temporarily ce it in the hotel. A group of people, in a grand procession, drove to the Jinguo Hotel owned by Lin Yi, who had also arranged in advance for all of Han Xuewei''s rtives to stay there. The manager of the Jinguo Hotel''s lobby, of course, knew that today was the president''s big day, so he prepared early in the morning outside the door to wee the bridal entourage. Moreover, the evening before, he had made sure to have the hall decorated with festive characters and had been very thoughtful with the decorations! Lin Yi, witnessing this scene, nodded in approval and smiled at the lobby manager. Thetter, feeling like he had received encouragement, became excited. He knew that the president had seen his hard work! It must be said that the bridal entourage was quite sizable, including groomsmen and Lin Yi''s friends, as well as quite a few rtives from the Lin Family. This also included Lin Yi''s uncles and aunts, along with other family members. As for Han Xuewei''s dowry, Lin Yi himself transferred the funds to his inws, who eventually chose a rathervish Mercedes-Benz as the dowry vehicle. Enjoy exclusive chapters from mvl Lin Yi, holding a bouquet of flowers, arrived excitedly at the door and knocked like a gentleman, saying to the inside, "Vivi! My dear wife! Come home with me!" The groomsmen nearby started to tease, "Sister-inw, Brother Lin is here to take you home!" "Ladies inside, open the door!" Since the hotel rooms had no windows, they could only start by knocking on the door. The girls'' voices came from inside, "Where''s the red envelope? We can''t open the door without a red envelope!" But because the doors of the hotel rooms were quite special with no gap at all, it was difficult to slip in the red envelope. Lin Jie had a stroke of genius and suddenly shouted, "This won''t do, there''s no gap at all. Could you please open a crack in the door? However many red envelopes you want, we''ll give you!" No sooner had he spoken than he winked gleefully at the other groomsmen! He whispered, "As soon as the door opens, we charge!" The bridesmaids inside, finding no other way, secured the inner chain lock and then opened the door. This gap could fit quite a few red envelopes at once! But they were too naive. Although they had secured the chain lock, the groomsmen outside were nearly all strong as bulls. As soon as the door cracked open, everyone rushed in! The chain lock was virtually useless! Amidst the whole group of groomsmen, charging the fiercest and at the forefront, naturally, was Lin Jie! And defending the door inside was Han Xuewei''s good friend, Qin Xiaoxu! The groomsmen outside charged so fiercely that when they burst in, they frightened the bridesmaids into retreating and even knocked some over! Lin Jie, pushed too strongly by the people behind him, felt something soft in front of him upon entering, as if he were in a girl''s embrace! But by the time he realized what was happening, a hefty p hadnded on his face! ``` "Shameless!" The p was resoundingly loud, and the voice of the girl cursing was even clearer! He looked up and suddenly realized that the person before him was very familiar! At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu''s expression also changed from anger to surprise! The next second, both of them eximed in unison! "Do not love me, there is no result?!" "Little bee?!" Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie had dined together after reaching a consensus, so they had met before! It was the first time Lin Jie had done such a thing, so naturally, he had to personally ensure everything was perfect. It was best for both parties to get acquainted in advance to ensure that when it was time to bring someone home to meet the family, nothing would be amiss! But now, the two of them had blurted out each other''s online names at the same time and their faces revealed shock, which didn''t fit in with the scene of the marriage procession at all! However, everyone else was immersed in the joyous atmosphere, simply walking around the two of them,pletely unaware of what had transpired. Lin Jie hastily pulled Qin Xiaoxu aside and asked in a lowered voice, "What are you doing here?" Qin Xiaoxu also hurriedly straightened her clothes and replied, "I told you before, I have to be my bestie''s bridesmaid today..." After saying so, the two looked at each other in astonishment! "You''re saying the bride is your bestie?" "And the groom, Lin Yi, is your cousin?" At that moment, another bridesmaid rushed over and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxu, are you okay? What happened to you guys?" After finishing, she looked at them with a puzzled expression. Qin Xiaoxu quickly stepped back, widening the distance from Lin Jie, and immediately said, "Oh, I''m fine, she just looked familiar so I asked a few more questions..." The bridesmaid did not say much more, and directly took Qin Xiaoxu to Han Xuewei''s side. Lin Jie''s parents, who had juste in from the outside, also saw Qin Xiaoxu and felt this girl looked familiar. Despite having seen many photos of Qin Xiaoxu their son had shared before, they could not immediately recall who she was in this setting. Besides, with young people using beauty filters and image enhancements on their pictures these days, the resemnce between the photos and the person was not particrly strong. Not recognizing her right away was rather normal. Lin Yi''s parents also anxiously pushed their son to stand beside Lin Yi. Today''s Lin Yi was much more mature than usual, especially when it came to his attire; there was a substantial elevation in his style! Normally, he preferred casual clothes, but today Lin Yi was dressed in a sharp suit and had a mature and stylish pompadour. This natural-born charisma made him particrly noticeable in the crowd. He held flowers in one hand and then knelt on one knee before the bride, Han Xuewei, who was wearing a white wedding dress and looking enchantingly lovely. He dered directly, "Wife! Come home with me!" With a fan partially covering her face, Han Xuewei giggled shyly and nodded her head. Lin Yi quickly said to his cousin Lin Jie, "Brother, hand out all the red envelopes we prepared for today! Show some appreciation to Weiwei''s bridesmaid group too!" These red envelopes, which Lin Yi had prepared the night before, had amounts ranging from one hundred at the least to nine hundred at the most; moreover, the groomsmen were carrying a total of ny-nine red envelopes! Chapter 133 Distributing Red Envelopes Lin Jie hurriedly opened the backpack he was carrying and then took out handfuls of red envelopes, directly handing them over to Qin Xiaoxu. After receiving the red envelopes, Qin Xiaoxu excitedly said to the bridesmaids, "No need to fight, ha, we''ll divide these red envelopester!" Every ce has its own rules for fetching the bride, and the bridesmaids must divide the red envelopes given by the groom equally. Then, Qin Xiaoxu changed her tone and said with a smile, "All right, now we need to stand united, ready for a major move! How can we let them take the bride away from her home so easily?" Lin Yi pleaded with a smile, "Aiya, please don''t think like this! Getting married is not easy for me, I beg you all to show mercy!" After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu smirked proudly and then said loudly, "The first challenge of today! Bring another big red envelope for each member of our bridesmaid group!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi finally rxed. It was just money, after all, something that indeed wouldn''t stump him! Immediately after, without even blinking an eye, Lin Yi handed out fifty thousand yuan to each bridesmaid! Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxu was so surprised she could hardly speak! She had originally intended to scare Lin Yi a bit, but she really didn''t expect him to be so generous! He was indeed willing to spend a fortune to marry Han Xuewei! And to give an additional fifty thousand to each bridesmaid! Hurriedly, Qin Xiaoxu said, "Okay, okay, that''s enough, the first challenge is passed! But the next one can''t be that simple, we have to y some games, right?" The bridesmaids, seeing Lin Yi''s generosity, did not make things difficult for him during the game segment and let him win the games one after the other. And Han Xuemei, who had been watching from the side the whole time, witnessed everything, making her thoughts even more resolute! While the groomsmen yed the games, she kept trying to find ways to get close to Lin Yi! However, her out-of-character behavior was noticed by Qin Xiaoxu! So Qin Xiaoxu began to pay attention to this person! After all, it was her cousin''s big wedding day today; how could this girl keep making physical contact with her cousin''s husband? It was simply devoid of any manners! And even in other situations, it was not appropriate! But Lin Yi, who had long seen through that his wife''s cousin was not an easy character, had been deliberately avoiding other contacts all along. Now that she was actually taking the initiative to get close to him, Lin Yi was even more repulsed! Qin Xiaoxu also noticed how Lin Yi was trying his best to stay away from this "green tea" and admired him even more for it! It seems that her good friend Vivi really chose the right person this time! That meant she wouldn''t have to worry too much in the future! During the games, Lin Jie, as one of the groomsmen, was bound to be deliberately troubled by the bridesmaid group. One of the bridesmaids seemed to have a crush on Lin Jie, so she kept standing with him. Indeed, Lin Jie was a straight man. Not only did he not feel anything, but he also started flirting with the other girls. Enjoy new tales from mvl The observant Qin Xiaoxu noticed this too. Although she seemed indifferent to everything on the surface, in reality, she was very good at reading people and situations. This ability was second to none among those present! Han Xuewei also noticed that her sister Dong Huijuan was subconsciously getting closer to Lin Jie, which made her jealous! However, Qin Xiaoxu herself didn''t know why she felt inexplicably jealous, but she began to find it unbearable whenever she saw Lin Jie flirting with other girls! So she went straight to Lin Jie''s side, nudged him with her elbow a couple of times, and said, "What are you doing? There''s a photographer right there, watch your image!" Lin Jie responded with a mischievous grin, "We''re just pretending to be a couple, why are you starting to boss me around? Could it be, you''re jealous seeing me chatting with other girls?" Qin Xiaoxu''s face turned red with anger, and she red at him fiercely before storming off to the other side! At this moment, Lin Yi was smoothly taking care of the bride and then went back home with everyone. Lin Yi''s parents and a whole bunch of rtives were waiting in the bridal room! They had set up the fireworks early and even used hundreds of balloons bursting to rece firecrackers! Han Xuewei was lifted out of the car by Lin Yi, and the two of them, holding hands, stepped onto the red carpet and walked towards the grand entrance of the mansion! As the two newlyweds made their way in, flower children scattered petals, balloons popped in celebration, and fireworks continued to sound off. They entered through the mansion''s doors, and the mission to pick up the bride waspletely aplished! Han Xuemei, Han Xuewei''s cousin, also arrived at the wedding chamber, and when she saw the scale of the mansion located in the city center, she couldn''t calm her inner excitement! However, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t notice her expression at the time, or else she would have been even more wary of the person right in front of her! As soon as Han Xuemei got out of the car, she hurried over to Lin Yi''s mother to start buttering her up. Han Xuemei said with a beaming smile, "Auntie, hello, we''ve met before, I''m Vivi''s cousin, Han Xuemei." Lin Yi''s mother responded with a polite smile, "Ah, no wonder you look so familiar!" After hearing this, Han Xuemei was naturally very happy, not expecting the auntie to remember her, and then she further attempted to ingratiate herself. But Lin Yi''s mother was busy with her son''s wedding, so she didn''t continue the conversation and simply said to her, "Xue Mei, I''m really busy right now. Please feel free to enjoy yourself at home, and don''t be shy." "I must excuse myself for now as I have to greet the Han family''s rtives." Han Xuewei saw that Lin Yi''s mother was busy, so she also aimlessly wandered on her own. Meanwhile, Lin Jie was being pulled aside by Han Xuewei''s sister, Dong Rui, to chat. Dong Rui and Han Xuewei were roommates and good friends; they both were from the same major. Dong Rui sat next to Lin Jie and said, "I overheard you discussing the ''chicken-eating'' game with the other groomsmen; you seemed quite skilled. I love that game too. Do you have time to team up with me sometime?" Lin Jie, who was still ying with his phone at the time, absentmindedly replied, "Hmm? I never said I was very good at it, just ying to kill time, really. My skills aren''t that great." Teaming up with someone else to y games? And a girl, at that? Thest thing Lin Jie wanted was to team up with girls; he was convinced that out of ten girls, nine were novices, and besides dragging him down, they were of no use! If Qin Xiaoxu knew Lin Jie''s thoughts at the time, she would have definitely made a big scene! Lin Jie didn''t have time for such trifles, so he joined the others to rest inside the mansion. Han Xuewei was then taken to the master bedroom, and the whole procession moved over as well. Actually, ording to tradition, essories and the like could already be taken off; first, because they were cumbersome, and second, for fear of losing them during the toasting. Chapter 134 Eye-Catching Diamond Ring In the center of the bedroom, there was arge table covered in gold and silver jewelry that was as plentiful as the disys in a small jewelry shop. If Han Xuewei were to wear all of these, she''d probably have trouble walking! Arge part of the jewelry on the table was bought by Lin Yi and his mother, while the rest were gifts from rtives on the Lin Family''s side. Mother Lin hurried over to help, and along with a few rtives, she put on one or two of the best pieces for Han Xuewei, and then gave her a pair of jade bracelets of her own. Han Xuewei smiled politely and said, "You are too kind, Mom!" Mother Lin was delighted by her daughter-inw''s address of "Mom" and responded with a smile. "Oh! From now on, you need to keep a close eye on Lin Yi. The road ahead is long, and I''m counting on you!" Han Xuemei blushed and nodded, "Yes, I know, Mom." Only a few pieces of jewelry could be worn at a time, so the rest would have to be kept in a safe. Mother Lin took out a diamond ring she had bought earlier and slipped it onto Han Xuewei''s finger. To the side, Han Xuemei''s jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw that diamond ring! Goodness me! If I remember correctly, that must be from the "True Love" series of diamond jewelry! That pink diamond is so iconic! The entire set of that diamond jewelry must be worth several hundred million! Han Xuewei actually owns a set! Isn''t that just crazy? Han Xuemei rubbed her eyes again. Although she verbally expressed disbelief, deep down she already knew the answer¡ªthe reality was right in front of her! Everyone around couldn''t help but be amazed as well when they saw that the diamond was as big as a pigeon''s egg. The sharp-eyed Qin Xiaoxu also recognized it quickly, "Ah! Vivi! The pink diamond ring you''re wearing couldn''t possibly be from the True Love collection, could it? That entire set is so expensive! Eight or nine hundred million at least! My goodness! The more I look, the more it seems like it! Why have I never heard you mention this before?? You guys are really rich, aren''t you?!" Qin Xiaoxu, who had been using Han Xuewei''s VIP card at the beauty salon, had always felt a bit embarrassed, but when she saw the pigeon egg-sized diamond ring on Han Xuewei''s finger, from the most expensive series no less, it felt like her entire worldview had been flipped on its head. Han Xuewei just smiled and exined, "Right after I gave birth to the baby, Lin Yi gave me a set, and this vi was his wedding gift to me, as our marital home." After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu''s voice rose a few decibels, "Vivi! I''ve never heard you talk about this before!! You''ve kept it so well hidden! And this vi is about four or five times the size of the previous one, right? And it''s in the city center! It must be worth a few hundred million at least, right?? Oh my goodness! Lin Yi spoils his wife too much, giving you so much!! He must be very wealthy!!" Han Xuewei made a shushing gesture, signaling her to keep her voice down. But, walls have ears, and their entire conversation was heard loud and clear by Han Xuemei! Han Xuemei knew her cousin-inw''s family was wealthy, but she hadn''t imagined they were this extravagant! Just for having a child, her cousin had been given so much? The total value must be over ten billion! And that''s not even including the bride price! She had heard that apart from the bride price, her cousin''s husband had also given twenty million to her cousin''s parents as just spending money! To say I''m not jealous, that would be a lie! Han Xuemei thought about it, her current situation was really not optimistic. She must figure out as soon as possible what Lin Yi liked, and use that as an opportunity to slowly get closer to him and gradually make her move! At this point, Han Xuemei was almost at the brink of insanity! Every day all she could think about was how totch onto Lin Yi, the rich guy! She was truly determined, eyeing her cousin''s photos! Such people would really stop at nothing to achieve their goals, not hesitating to do things that wouldpletely shatter moral standards! Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu were happily chatting when Lin Yi and his group of groomsmen brought in the glutinous rice balls. This was a custom in their hometown. During a wedding, everyone had to drink glutinous rice ball soup together, symbolizing happiness and reunion. However, two bowls were brought in, one with raw rice balls and one with cooked. The aunty took a raw rice ball from one of the bowls and fed it to Han Xuewei, asking loudly with augh, "Is it raw?" Han Xuewei had heard of this custom before, so she could only smile and say, "Raw." The crowd started to cheer and shout, "Raw! More toe!" Everybodyughed when they saw this. Rtives from both sides grew more familiar with each other due to today''s wedding, and the groomsmen kept egging them on, "You have to have a second child in the future! Assemble a basketball team!" Explore more at §Þ?? Lin Yi said, "Alright, alright, stop saying such things!" Mother Lin was also smiling by the side, asking everyone not to continue egging them on. She knew her daughter-inw was too shy to take such jokes that could not be made too often. She took the other bowl of glutinous rice balls and came over to Han Xuewei, "Come on, let''s eat together." And so, Mother Lin and Han Xuewei fed each other, following the tradition. Seeing that Han Xuewei was wearing a lot of gold and silver jewelry, Lin Yi whispered in her ear, "Wife, isn''t this jewelry kind of heavy? If it''s ufortable, you can put it in the safe. Wearing just a ring should be enough." At first, Han Xuewei had the same thought, but the jewelry had all been personally put on her by her mother-inw, and what she wore today represented the Lin Family and maintained their reputation. So, for the sake of her inws'' face, she figured it was okay to suffer a little. If she really just wore a single ring to the ceremony, the rtives might think the inws were stingy and unwilling to buy more! Han Xuewei certainly didn''t want such unpleasant incidents to ur. After all, a wedding should be a joyous asion, and such an important day had to be perfect. A bit of physical hardship was fine as long as she felt happy inside. It had to be said that Han Xuewei was quite a traditional bride, perhaps a result of the education she had received since childhood! Seeing her husband''s concern, she smiled and replied, "It''s fine, not that heavy. Don''t worry, husband." Han Xuewei nned to wear all the jewelry for the time being at the wedding ceremony, and then take it all off when it was time for the toast. If possible, she hoped to bring the safe to the venue because the environment there was bound to beplicated. Lin Yi could easily tell what Han Xuewei was thinking andforted her, "You don''t need to worry about anything. Once we get to the wedding venue, the securitypany will also be present, and they will protect all our valuable items throughout. They will also have a portable safe. So all you need to do is rx and be the beautiful bride!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi with eyes full of admiration and surprise, eximing, "Wow! Husband! You even know what I am thinking right now! You really understand me so well!" Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Stirring up trouble Lin Yiughed, then directly pulled Han Xuewei into his arms, "Hahaha, that''s for sure, we are husband and wife! Living with you for so long, I know what you''re thinking." The next second, they hugged each other tightly, and the other guests tactfully left the room, giving the couple plenty of space. Han Xuemei saw their intimate interaction and couldn''t help but clench her teeth in anger, "Hmph, as long as I''m here, I won''t let you two have a happy ending!" At that moment, Lin Yi also inadvertently caught a glimpse of Han Xuemei''s expression and couldn''t help but frown slightly! What is she nning to do? Since picking up the bride today, Lin Yi had seen Han Xuemei make that strange expression more than once, as if she was begrudging and somewhat jealous. He really couldn''t figure out what Han Xuemei was up to. But in both fairness and reason, Han Xuewei was her cousin, and Lin Yi couldn''t understand what she could possibly do. However, there''s a saying that goes, "It''s always good to be cautious." Lin Yi became even more determined to be wary of her. The photographer also expressed a hope that the bride and groom would go to the garden downstairs to take a set of photos, as he was a professional and had to dutifully follow each scene! The entire photography team was all-epassing, not missing any angle, and having almost finished with the indoor shots, it was time to change to outdoor scenes. His vi''s exterior was also very spacious, so they took quite a few photos there, probably for about half an hour, until Aunt Wang came running over to Han Xuewei and whispered, "The babies are hungry, are you still breastfeeding today?" Han Xuewei immediately replied, "Mhm, I know, I''ll go right now." Then she leaned closer to Lin Yi''s ear and said, "Lin Yi, it''s time for nursing, the children are hungry." After she mentioned it, Lin Yi remembered that it had been quite a while since the babies had been fed, and that he''d have to take good care of them soon. If the babies could walk, he would definitely have them be the flower children at the wedding! Thinking about it made him smile contentedly, as he indulged in dreams of a wonderful future life. The bridesmaids and groomsmen heard this and began to tease, "Wow, a shotgun wedding! Lin Yi, I want to be like you, marrying a rich and beautiful woman and bing a winner in life! Driving luxury cars, living in mansions, it''s just so enviable!" "Can you share with us how you pursued the school belle?" "What''s there to share? When you''ve got it all, the rich and beautiful naturallye to you!" Lin Yi always smiled without a word, but Qin Xiaoxu, upon hearing this, spoke up in defense, "Our Vivi didn''t care about what cars or houses he had. She and Lin Yi are truly in love. Besides, Vivi''s family conditions are not bad either, she''s been living in a vi since she was young. And Lin Yi is quite outstanding himself; after they got married, he gave Vivi so many gifts, and all under Vivi''s name! I''m afraid not many men could do that!" Qin Xiaoxu''s words were straightforward; Han Xuewei''s conditions were also great, so dating was not about cars or houses; finding the right person was what mattered most! Love, after all, is about both parties giving, and the fact that Lin Yi was willing to buy this and that for Han Xuewei was enough to show his love for her. After these words, everyone fell silent. Unexpectedly, Lin Jie suddenly stood up, his face full of pride, "Miss Qin tters us. But need we say more? Every man in the Lin Family is good to his wife and is a great family man from the Gu Family!" Lin Jie was talking, seemingly unaware that Qin Xiaoxu was staring at him. Originally, Qin Xiaoxu had a poor opinion of Lin Jie finding someone to pretend to be his girlfriend in order to deceive his parents, and she even thought it was just a gimmick since she had never heard of anyone being rushed to marry before graduating from university. However, when she learned Lin Yi was the other''s older cousin, she finally understood; maybe Lin Jie''s parents saw someone else''s son getting a wife and children all at once and were a bit envious! Generally speaking, parents at that age are at their happiest with little children around. But just then, Han Xuewei''s roommate, Dong Rui, picked up the thread of conversation, her voice full ofughter, "Oh? Really? Saying it yourself doesn''t count, you only know once you date¡­" After hearing that, Lin Jie felt a sense of impending doom and hurriedly ran off, "Um, I need to go to the restroom¡­" And with that, he left Dong Rui standing there, who then shouted angrily. "Lin Jie! Why are you running? Stop right there!" This scene amused everyone present, and they burst into heartyughter, "Hahaha, Lin Yi, who would''ve thought your cousin is so popr!" "Even has girls chasing after him, so envious." "Miss, I''m quite nice too, can we spend some time together?" At this moment, Lin Yi''s good buddy, Niu Chenghu, suddenly interjected. Discover hidden content at §Þ?? But Dong Rui seemed indifferent, merely replying half-heartedly, "Sorry, I''m not interested in you, and we''re not familiar." Old Niuughed and said, "Hehe, unfamiliarity can be resolved by getting to know each other! Spend some time, and the interest will follow!" Dong Rui blushed and cursed, "Get to know your big-headed ghost!" After saying that, she ran off without looking back, clearly regarding Old Niu as some kind of rogue! Old Niu, however, looked wronged as he shrugged his shoulders, "I don''t think I said anything wrong¡­ Interest can be cultivated slowly, and without getting to know each other, how does one have a chance?" The other buddiesughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "Haha, don''t worry, it''s not your fault, she''s just too conservative. Right?" Then, they took another look at Old Niu''s crotch, but he quickly covered up, "What are you looking at? Am I that kind of person? What''s with girls these days?" Qiu Zhenhua said with augh, "Hahaha, they see you as a naive youngster untouched by the world, and you did look a bit creepy just now as if you''ve never dated." Old Niu truly felt aggrieved as he said, "I''ve never dated, but I''m not creepy at all! I swear, other than my family, I''ve never had physical contact with any other girls! Haven''t even touched hands!" Upon hearing this, his good buddies started to tease him, "Ah, I never realized our Old Niu was such a good boy! How about we help you find a girl so you can also try what it feels like to hold hands?" After hearing this, Old Niu started to squirm, "It''s not that easy to find someone, I still want to find a girl who truly loves me in the future!" He had actually considered casually finding a girl to try it out, just to experience what dating felt like, but his upbringing didn''t allow him to treat love so lightly. Chapter 136 Conversation between Lin Jie and His Mother Qiang Hengxuanughed and said, "Then you just stick to your bottom line or I''m really afraid you won''t be able to control yourself in the future!" His words once again provoked a round of heartyughter from everyone! Lin Yi hurriedly asked everyone to drop the topic, "Okay, okay, let''s not keep making fun of the old cow. You guys are not any better, daring to bully the old cow? Besides, isn''t there someone among you who has remained single from the womb till now, just like the old cow? How can youugh at someone else''s plight when you''re in the same boat?" Upon hearing this, Qiang Hengxuan quickly shook his head and said, "Who is Lin Yi talking about? Definitely not me!" Then, he looked at Qiu Zhenhua in shock and said, "Qiu Zhenhua! It cannot be you, right? You''ve kept it really deep! Normally, you speak as if you have a wealth of experience when sharing with us buds ¨C we thought you were seasoned in such matters. Turns out you''re just like the old cow!" Before Qiu Zhenhua could exin, Lin Yi quickly gestured, "Alright, I''m going to check on the baby. Let''s not make too much noise; we could startle the bridesmaids with all this loud talking." After Lin Yi had finished speaking, the groomsmen finally shifted their attention to the bridesmaids present. Lin Yi wanted to join his wife in feeding the baby. And Han Xuemei quietly followed the two of them to the bedroom, nning to also take a look at the baby. For her, there was nothing else of concern at the moment. Her main mission was to ensure Lin Yi was left with a deep impression of her! However, Qin Xiaoxu noticed Han Xuemei quietly following behind the couple, and something about Xuemei''s demeanor seemed off, which gave Qin Xiaoxu a jolt. It seemed Han Xuemei was really not as simple as she appeared! Qin Xiaoxu felt like she should intervene, as this was about her close friend''s significant life decision! So Qin Xiaoxu told the bridesmaids she was going to check on the three babies and then silently followed Han Xuemei. But just then, Qin Xiaoxu''s phone vibrated! Lin Jie was calling her! As soon as she answered, Lin Jie, on the other end of the call, anxiously said, "Qin Xiaoxu, my parents just said you look a lot like the girl in the picture, but they didn''t dare to ask you directly. Anyway, we will have to introduce you to them eventually, so you might as well admit it today! Otherwise, Dong Rui will keep harassing me!" Qin Xiaoxu replied in aid-back manner, "Oh, who was it that just imed to be a good man? What kind of good man randomly finds someone to pretend to be his girlfriend and deceive his own parents? And since Dong Rui likes you, isn''t that perfect? Just take her to meet your parents!" Lin Jie fell silent for a while, momentarily at a loss for words. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu had just turned a corner when he saw Lin Jie''s mom heading towards Lin Jie. Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly hung up the phone and then heard the conversation between the two. "Lin Jie, tell me the truth, is that bridesmaid your cousin hired actually your girlfriend? Your dad and I looked for quite a while, and the more we looked, the more we thought she looked like her, but we were too embarrassed to ask." As she spoke, Lin Jie''s mom opened her phone''s photo album and, while looking, said, "The hairstyle is exactly the same, and even the color is identical. The only difference is theck of sses, and there''s something slightly different about the chin. Lin Jie, you have to tell the truth, is it or isn''t it?" Lin Jie didn''t rush to answer the question but was anxiously messaging on his phone, it seemed like it was to Qin Xiaoxu. Seeing her son seriously looking at his phone, Lin Jie''s mom gave him a nudge, "Lin Jie, who are you messaging? Didn''t you hear your mom talking to you? How can you be so impolite!" Readtest stories on §Þ?? Lin Jie was also getting very impatient, but he patiently exined to his mom, "Mom, can you not disturb me, I''m in the middle of texting my girlfriend right now! Can''t you wait until I''m done?" After hearing this, Lin Jie''s mom became very interested and leaned in closer, "Eh? Why didn''t you say so earlier? Let your mom have a look at what you''re chatting about. Send her a photo of our family portrait, you never know, we might bump into her in the future!" Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of speechlessness, "How could we possibly bump into her? Your and dad''s old-fashioned taste in shopping definitely doesn''t match with hers!" Lin Jie''s mom got annoyed and smacked him on the forehead, saying, "You little rascal, since when have I been old-fashioned? Back in the day, I shopped at all the big malls across the city, and I never skimped on trendy brands!" Lin Jie then said with a feeling of injustice, "No, Mom, I haven''t known her for very long, and you guys are already eager to meet her. The girl is shy and easily scared off." Seeing his mom lost in thought, Lin Jie became even more serious. After thinking it over, Lin Jie''s mom finally nodded and said, "You really are more thoughtful. We indeed rushed things. You two have just started to get to know each other and need more time to invest in your feelings. It indeed isn''t time for a meeting yet!" Following up on his mom''s words, Lin Jie continued, "Exactly, you finally understand. Dating is like building a house; the preliminary stage is all aboutying a solid foundation. We can''t just confirm a rtionship and then bring her home to meet the parents, right? The girls nowadays are not like they used to be, they have a lot on their minds, and I still haven''t figured out if her feelings for me are genuine..." Lin Jie''s mom sighed sentimentally, "Ah, the thoughts of young people these days, I really don''t get it. My son isn''t half bad either, handsome and all, shouldn''t be without a girlfriend, right?" She nced at Lin Jie and said, "You little rascal, you didn''t upset the girl, did you?" Lin Jie''s tone became even more aggrieved, "No, Mom, I send her a red envelope every day, there''s no way she''s upset!" Without another word, Lin Jie''s mom pped the back of his head and said, "I knew it! These days, girls want romance in a rtionship! You think a single red envelope can make her happy? It''s not about the money, she needs your care! If it''s like you say, that would just attract gold diggers. Dating isn''t like that; it should be with the goal of marriage in mind. Of course, old mom here hopes you find a good woman, like me, who knows how to manage a household, with the right values! Of course, character is also a priority! You must consider this, understand?" Lin Jie rubbed his head innocently and slowly said, "Alright, Mom, I understand everything you''re saying. If you hit me again, what if I be stupid? Aren''t you afraid I won''t be able to find a wife in the future?" Lin Jie''s mom huffed and said in an irritated tone, "You don''t know how to cherish the girl at all, hmph. Today, you''re going to give your girlfriend a little surprise, cheer her up, and you must make sure she receives it! I want to see the payment informationter, as well as the delivery confirmation. Not a single detail less, got it? You stinker, don''t you know how to put some effort into a rtionship." Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Too Thick-Skinned Lin Jie''s mother didn''t want to pressure her son, but she and Lin Jie''s father were eager to hold a grandson soon! So when they saw Qin Xiaoxu''s photo, they were very impressed and thought she looked quite nice, definitely the pure and innocent type. They couldn''t help but give a nod of approval to Lin Jie''s taste. The reason Lin Jie chose Qin Xiaoxu from many "applicants" was that he knew very well what kind of girl would please his parents. As soon as he saw Qin Xiaoxu''s photo and contacted her for a detailed discussion, he had already decided on her! Therefore, no matter what, he had to get through this by leveraging Qin Xiaoxu, because he couldn''t afford to have his allowance cut off! But coincidentally, just at that moment, Dong Rui appeared before the two of them. Continue your journey with §Þ?? While Lin Jie''s mother was still scolding her son, Dong Rui came over with a smile and greeted, "Auntie, Lin Jie, hello." Lin Jie''s mother looked at Dong Rui with a puzzled expression, then turned her gaze to her son, watching him quickly typing away, her face growing even more perplexed! She directly asked, "And you are...?" Dong Rui, very considerate, moved to Lin Jie''s side and took his arm, saying, "Auntie, I''m Lin Jie''s... good friend." This scene also made Qin Xiaoxu, who was in the corner, stunned and she couldn''t help but sigh to herself, "My goodness, Dong Rui is too persistent! It''s clear Lin Jie has already rejected her, yet she''s still clinging to him! That''s just shameless!" After hearing this, Lin Jie''s mother''s expression changed instantly, seemingly mixed with slight anger, and she asked in a demanding tone, "Lin Jie, don''t you think you owe an exnation?" At this moment, Lin Jie was truly frightened by Dong Rui''s action; his mother always despised those who were not serious about rtionships and two-timed. Now that she had seen a photo of his girlfriend, this girl obviously seemed unfamiliar. If his mother thought he had cheated or found another woman, she''d never forgive him! The next second, Lin Jie quickly shook her off and moved next to his mother, saying, "No, Mom, listen to me exin. This girl is my cousin''s roommate; we''ve just met, and I don''t even know her name!" Upon hearing this, Dong Rui''s expression immediately dimmed, "Huh? How could you do this? I already told you, my name is Dong Rui!" Lin Jie''s mother also hurriedly said, "Girl, didn''t Lin Jie tell you that he isn''t single?" After hearing this, Dong Rui was taken aback, and said awkwardly, "Ah, I... why didn''t you say so? How annoying!" After dropping that remark, she turned on her heels and stormed off! Seeing this, Lin Jie''s mother also directly grabbed his ear! "You little rascal, why didn''t you tell her? Are you still looking to flirt around outside?" Lin Jie, in pain, quickly begged for mercy, "Ow! Mom! Let go! It hurts!! I didn''t know what that girl was up to; she just kept badgering me and wanted me to take her to y a game!" When Qin Xiaoxu saw how pitifully Lin Jie was being scolded, she couldn''t help but snicker to herself! It seemed that Lin Jie''s mother held very upright values and also instilled in Lin Jie a good sense of reason. After all, in this day and age, there are all kinds of elders out there. Some parents, proud of their charming and handsome sons, even see it as an honor to have their sons dating multiple girlfriends! This is truly a case of skewed values! Only upon hearing her son yelp in pain did she let go of his ear. In truth, she understood her son very well; putting it bluntly, he was indeed a stereotypical straight guy! He didn''t worry about dating or put any thought into it, which was exactly why she and Lin Jie''s father started urging him. Now that her son had finally found someone, it was a cause for immense celebration! So, she chose to believe Lin Jie''s words. Besides, her son really wasn''t capable of such actions. "In any case, you must be honest no matter what, don''t make a mess like other people. The Lin Family has never had any scandals, and if you dare to step out of line, don''t ever think of stepping through the Lin Family''s door again! Plus, you won''t get a penny of the inheritance!" Lin Jie felt very wronged as he said, "Alright, Mom, I get it." Seeing her son''s attitude was not bad, Lin Jie''s mom finally went about her own business. With his mom finally gone, Lin Jie then rubbed his red ear and couldn''t help but mutter, "Such bad luck today, to get a scolding like this!" Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaoxu felt that his family''s house rules were indeed quite good! And it seemed Lin Jie was a bit afraid of his mom! However, Qin Xiaoxu had one doubt. If he was so afraid of his mom, why would he think of getting a fake girlfriend to deceive her? Lin Jie picked up his phone again and resumed sending messages. Qin Xiaoxu didn''t approach him. Instead, he took a detour to Han Xuewei''s room. It wasn''t muchter that Xiaoxu''s phone started vibrating. When she looked, it was indeed a WeChat message from Lin Jie. "I haven''t had any desire to date these past few years, nor do I want to waste time on it. But my parents insist that I find a girlfriend, or else I won''t get any pocket money in the future! However, ever since I told them you were my girlfriend, they ended up giving me the apartment and even multiplied my monthly living expenses several times. Plus, that apartment is specifically for us to cohabit!" Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly replied, "What? Cohabit? Am I supposed to pretend to live together with you? I would never do such a thing! What if you have some ill intentions toward me, then what?" Lin Jie went silent upon seeing Qin Xiaoxu''s message. A momentter, he replied, "This... I really hadn''t thought that much. Let''s not talk about it for now; let''s see how it goes when the timees! Anyway, we''re just in the preliminary stage of our rtionship, we can''t think about that much, and cohabitation is at least a year away! Besides, by then we can totally put on a breakup act! So, you don''t need to worry about the cohabitation thing!" Qin Xiaoxu cut him off with a definitive reply, "Jerk!" Lin Jie was quite speechless when he saw those three words and sent back a questioning emoticon, "Huh? How did I be a jerk? All the men in the Lin Family are good men. If I didn''t find dating to be such a hassle, with my looks, getting a girlfriend would take mere minutes! But right now, I just don''t want to date or lead any girl on." After reading the message, Qin Xiaoxu did have some thoughts. He was right; with looks, Lin Jie was indeed handsome, and despite Dong Rui being so proactive just now, Lin Jie seemedpletely uninterested. You had to admit, he did have his principles. Sigh, this time she would help him out. It wasn''t a bad thing after all. Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Too Nervous Qin Xiaoxu had no choice but to change the subject, "So do your parents give you a lot of money for living expenses each month..." Lin Jie directly transferred 888 to Qin Xiaoxu, saying, "Don''t worry, your share will definitely not be short!" Qin Xiaoxu clicked to receive the transfer and replied with a sneaky grin emoticon, "Hehe, pretty sensible." Not only did this help him, but it also earned him some extra cash, which he thought was not bad! It wasn''t easy for Lin Jie to soothe Qin Xiaoxu''s mood, and he finally felt relieved. His parents had not skimped on looking at Qin Xiaoxu''s pictures, so now he couldn''t switch out for someone else, or else his mom would definitely scold him! After sending the message, Lin Jie started ying mobile games. Now that he was free, and with nothing else to do, he decided to just y a couple of rounds. Just then, Qiang Hengxuan came to find him, "Why are you staying in this ce? Come on, let''s go find Lin Yi and have some fun together." Lin Jie had just opened the game and said, "I just started this game. You wait by the window and enjoy the view first; the river scenery is really something to behold." The vi in the city center where Lin Yi lived was right next to the river, and because the move was so rushed, Lin Yi and his family hadn''t had the time to enjoy it. Qiang Hengxuan also plopped down next to him and said, "What game are you ying? Let''s y together; my jungling is super strong!" Lin Jieughed and said, "Haha, I am the true jungle king! Is there anyone who jungles better than me?" Qiang Hengxuan looked at him with a peculiar gaze and said, "No wonder you''re still single. Howe you''re hiding here ying by yourself? There are plenty of girls outside; isn''t it better to y with them?" Lin Jie looked up at Dong Rui and shook his head repeatedly, "What''s so fun about that? Women will only slow down the speed of my sword drawing! It will make me lose ranks!" Qiang Hengxuan, after hearing his remark, clicked his tongue in amazement and then said, "Wow, if you don''t y games with girls, you''ll lose a lot of fun! You can build a good rtionship with girls, you know? They might be impressed by your skills and even start a romance on the side!" Lin Jie also disdainfully replied, "Well, ording to what you''re saying, you should have a girlfriend too, right? But here you are, still single!" Qiang Hengxuan was suddenly at a loss for words and huffed, "Alright, alright, I won''t argue with you on this. I''m heading outside..." With that, he turned and walked out. Lin Jie just smiled and didn''t say anything. While ying the game halfway, he pulled up a pop-up window and sent a WeChat message to Qin Xiaoxu, "What are you doing? Do you want to y the game together?" He seemed to guess that Qin Xiaoxu was also idle at the moment, so he thought about inviting her to y together to pass the time. However, at this time, Qin Xiaoxu was busy looking after three babies. She heard the message notification sound, but she didn''t have time to check it. The three little ones had just finished their milk and were now in high spirits. Moreover, ever since they were born, they had never experienced such a lively scene, seeing dozens of new faces every hour. The babies kept talking today, not forgetting to wave their arms and dance. Qin Xiaoxuughed heartily at this spectacle and yfully asked, "You little cuties, do you think it''s pretty?" The biggest baby in her arms, entertained by Qin Xiaoxu''s antics,ughed along while swinging his little hands as though he had already given the answer. Pleased with herself, Qin Xiaoxu turned to Han Xuewei next to her and said, "Vivi, your baby also says I''m pretty!" Han Xuewei looked at her vanity and couldn''t help butugh, "Look at how childish you''re being, so vain." "Oh, why didn''t I realize before, baby is actually this cute! I should have more in the future too!" Han Xueweiughed again, "Having babies isn''t something one person can do, you have to find someone willing to have them with you!" Qin Xiaoxu pursed her lips and said, "Maybe one day happiness wille my way too, and then I''ll have a whirlwind marriage and baby!" Han Xuewei continued, "Xiaoxu, you''re usually so carefree, but I can be sure of one thing¡ªyou''ll definitely be more conservative when ites to love." Qin Xiaoxu shook her head and said, "I can''t be certain, nothing is absolute after all. Maybe one day I''ll also meet someone worth going crazy for, just like you met Lin Yi." Hearing her best friend say this, Qin Xiaoxu''s face turned red, "Alright, alright, let''s not talk about this anymore, there are other people listening." Qin Xiaoxu continued to y with the babies. Han Xuewei checked her phone for a while, then sent Lin Yi a message on WeChat: "Hubby, where are you?" Lin Yi replied immediately: "I was chatting with a few rtives, wife, are you missing me?" Lin Yi had nned toe over to feed the baby, but the rtives who came today were so enthusiastic, each one of them wanting to talk more with Lin Yi! Han Xuewei was also tied up on her end, some rtives were there for the first time to see the triplets, and since triplets are rare, everyone was quite curious. Han Xuewei saw the message and smiled, then after thinking, she replied: "Missing you, I miss my hubby!" Seeing this message, Lin Yi grinned, feeling a rush of joy, then he hurried over to find Han Xuewei. After all, it was the first time for the couple to express their longing for each other. Lin Yi rushed to the bedroom, and as soon as he entered, he saw the bridesmaids and a few other girls watching the babies! Some were taking pictures with the triplets, some were ying with them, everyone''s attention was on the children, but Han Xuewei seemed to be an exception, as she was staring at her phone with a silly smile. Lin Yi quietly moved behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Today was their big day, so they could openly embrace and kiss. The bridesmaids and the other girls in the room, seeing Lin Yi and Han Xuewei hugging, whispered to each other, "I think we should go outside, right? It''s not nice to be a third wheel! It seems the couple needs some mushy time together." "Can we take the three babies outside with us? They just had their milk, they need to digest it first!" Qin Xiaoxu also expressed her agreement. Right after that, she and the other girls took the babies outside. With that, only Lin Yi and Han Xuewei were left in the room. And as Qin Xiaoxu left, she closed the door behind them, As soon as the door closed, it left Han Xuemei outside. She looked at the affectionate pair, and her gaze turned much colder, her fists clenching involuntarily! The moment Qin Xiaoxu closed the door behind her, she turned around and caught Han Xuemei''s chilling expression! Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Who Dares Call Me Inexperienced She furrowed her brows, "What''s the deal with this person? It''s like she has a deep-seated grudge against Vivi! I can always see the resentment in her eyes!! Could there be some connection with Lin Yi? This woman needs to be watched!" Qin Xiaoxu just couldn''t figure out what was going on because Vivi hardly ever talked about her family, and she had never mentioned her cousin! Actually, this had little to do with Han Xuewei, since Han Xuewei herself rarely interacted with her cousin. And the two girls had quite different personalities, such as Han Xuewei who studied fine arts, and her cousin who studied dance; one was calm, the other lively, and they usually had nothing inmon to talk about. They only met at family gatherings, where Han Xuemei was always very lively, whereas her cousin Han Xuewei was demure and restrained, totally not from the same world. Lin Yi nced at the closed door, thought it was not safe enough, then stepped forward and locked it. He walked over to Han Xuewei, hugged her, and kissed her forehead, asking with great concern, "Baby, why do you seem a little anxious?" Lin Yi was sure that Han Xuewei was worried about something. Han Xuewei leaned her head against Lin Yi''s chest, and after a moment, she slowly spoke, "Hubby, I am indeed a bit anxious today... but I don''t know why, maybe I''m just too nervous?" Han Xuewei was so anxious that she wanted Lin Yi to stay with her. Lin Yi smiled, took Han Xuewei into his arms with calm, and said, "Silly girl, what''s there to be anxious about? Your husband is with you!" Han Xuewei looked up at him and said, "Maybe it''s because... today is our wedding... so I just..." Upon hearing this, Lin Yi simplyughed. He was helpless; what could he do if his wife was so easily nervous? But he rather liked Han Xuewei''s serene and gracious character. Thinking this, he left another kiss on Han Xuewei''s forehead. Meanwhile, outside the door, seeing Han Xuemei storm off, Qin Xiaoxu paid her no mind, because she still had to entertain the baby! Lin Yi''s mother and mother-inw passed by and couldn''t help but ask in confusion, "Why is everyone standing outside? Shouldn''t you be inside the room?" Qin Xiaoxu quickly said, "Auntie, Lin Yi and Vivi are being lovey-dovey inside the room. We wanted to y with the baby, so we brought them out with us. We can''t be the third wheel, after all!" Only then did Lin Yi''s mother and mother-inw realize what was going on, and they came over and said, "Then just hand the baby to us, it''s almost nap time. They woke up early today and haven''t slept yet, and since we''re free now, we''ll lull the babies to sleep. You guys have fun here, no need to be shy, and remember the time in the afternoon for the banquet!" And so, Qin Xiaoxu handed the baby to the two aunts, and then led the bridesmaids to the living room to have fun, nning to sit together to chat, and then eat some fruit and snacks. At this time, Qin Xiaoxu finally had the chance to check her unread messages. Upon careful inspection, she noticed that several unread messages were all sent by Lin Jie. "What are you up to? Want to log on? I can take you for a couple of rounds and kill some time." "No way, you''ve yed six thousand rounds and your rank is still so low? Haven''t reached King rank yet?" "That''s just pathetic! Too weak!" "Just call me big brother, and I''ll think about carrying you! I''m known as the King of the Jungle in all of Xiangcheng!" "Howe you''re ying hard to get now? I''ll definitely get you to King rank within a day! Hurry up and log on!" When Qin Xiaoxu saw his messages about ying six thousand rounds with such a low rank, still not reaching King rank, she was infuriated! But... after ying for so long, it had always been her teammates who failed! She had never let anyone down! More importantly, she had been ying solo all along and didn''t really like teaming up with others or, shall we say, having someone "carry" her! What skill level was this Lin Jie, anyway? To dare speak of her like that?? He could mock her for not being of a high enough rank, for not being a King, but he simply couldn''t ridicule her forck of skill! She wouldn''t ept it! Damn it! This was utterly intolerable! Qin Xiaoxu checked the time and realized the message hade two minutes ago, then hastily replied, "Who do you think you''re looking down on? Just wait, I''ll show you my strength right now! Logging on!" But to her surprise, Lin Jie replied, "Ah, I''m really sorry, I''ve already started another game." However, he continued, "Wait a moment, I''ll restart for you, just wait a moment!" Qin Xiaoxu was nowpletely clouded by annoyance and anger, incessantly muttering to herself, "Today, I''m going to show you just how strong my mage is!" A thousand MVPS aren''t for nothing! By the time Qin Xiaoxu logged into the game, Lin Jie had already restarted. When she saw Lin Jie''s ID, her dissatisfaction surged. Dare to call me a noob? Today I really want to see just how wild this "King of the Jungle" can be! Qin Xiaoxu immediately created a room and pulled Lin Jie in! Qin Xiaoxu turned on the team voice chat, "Lin Jie, where are you?" Lin Jie scratched his head and said casually, "I''m just in the east corridor on the first floor, why?" Qin Xiaoxu shouted angrily, "Stay there! I''ming over!" Qin Xiaoxu simply wanted to confront Lin Jie face to face and scold him a couple of times, as that would be more satisfying! But the youngdy really miscalcted today! She had vastly underestimated Lin Jie! Lin Jie''s skill level in Kings was indeed not ordinary; from his freshman year to now, he had always been the powerhouse of the entire dorm. Moreover, he had single-handedly "carried" his entire dorm! In their dorm squad, Lin Jie often yed the jungler role and was undoubtedly the captain! Even average girls would likely be impressed by his skills! Qin Xiaoxu directly approached Lin Jie, who was leisurely sitting in a chair, and since there were no other chairs around, she simply kicked him out of his seat. Lin Jie pursed his lips and said, "You''re really overbearing! What kind of girl acts like you? Aren''t you afraid you''ll never get married?" Qin Xiaoxu replied dismissively, "Psh, that''s none of your business!" Lin Jie could see that Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat angry, but since he didn''t know what was up, he just kept his mouth shut and stayed silent. Better not to provoke this woman and have her take her anger out on him! When this woman got angry, it was indeed frightening. One could never be sure she wouldn''t resort to physical violence! Better not provoke her, not worth the risk! Chapter 140 Jungling Brother Lin Jie had reached the rank of King with 4 stars; he usually didn''t spend too much time on games, ying only asionally in his spare time, and he preferred PC games over mobile ones. Qin Xiaoxu clicked to start the game immediately and soon matched with teammates. Lin Jie was assigned to the first slot, while Qin Xiaoxu was in the third. As soon as she entered, she said to Lin Jie, "I want the mage role! You have to snatch it for me! Got it? Aside from mage, I''m really not good at other roles." Lin Jie nced at her sideways, "Yeah, I got it!" After the heroes were banned, someone unexpectedly pre-selected a middlene mage. Lin Jie nced at Qin Xiaoxu''s reaction to see her hands on her hips, cursing, "My luck is so bad today, someone stole my role right at the start. Fine, whatever, I''ll y the marksman!" Qin Xiaoxu kept thinking to herself, "Pfft, if it weren''t for teaming up with Lin Jie, I''d snatch that mage no matter what. Worst case, we y double mages!" Middlene mage was Qin Xiaoxu''s forte. As for the marksman role, she was barely passable ¨C she could hold her own unless she was specifically targeted. Qin Xiaoxu pondered for quite a while before finally choosing Marco Polo. Lin Jie went with Ah Ke, catching the opposing marksman Hou Yi off guard early in the game. His maneuvers impressed Qin Xiaoxu and earned some approval for his abilities. At least his jungling rhythm was good, and he had a decent grasp of the timing for ganking. During previous games, Qin Xiaoxu found that some teammates would jungle selfishly, with no concept of ganking. By the time an enemyne got fed, it was utterly out of control! As they continued to develop into the Intermediate Stage, Lin Jie suddenly said to Qin Xiaoxu, "No way, how did bottomne copse like that? Didn''t Ie down to gank multiple times? Why hasn''t the bottom tower fallen yet?" Qin Xiaoxu quickly replied, "Their midner kepting down after you left, you need to gank their midner more!" Lin Jie said helplessly, "Sis, I''m in bad shape after each gank, and the enemy purposely targets you when I''m not there. You''ll have to watch out for yourself; I need to go back to base first." Lin Jie then typed in the game, "Mage, press against their midner. He''s always going bottom, so let the marksman safely take down the bottom tower." The mage replied with a voice message, "Roger that." But the midne mage had used both of his spells during a trip to the topne just before and was now ying very cautiously. At that moment, a danger signal appeared in the river pathway leading to the bottomne. Just then, Qin Xiaoxu, with Lin Jie''s help, engaged with Hou Yi in the bottomne again, but the enemy escaped with low health using sh. Qin Xiaoxu also lost half of her health. After seeing the signal, Lin Jie quickly said, "This is bad, their midner ising down. I''d better go back. It''s best to recall at the second tower''s position." Qin Xiaoxu defiantly replied, "I''m not going to! I''ll just recall at the first tower, no need for all that trouble." Lin Jie, failing in his gank, went for the Red Buff and then turned to Qin Xiaoxu, "Come get the Red Buff! Approach from the side of the second tower." After hearing that, Qin Xiaoxu was overjoyed inside, but she pretended to be very calm, "Mhm, got it." She then headed towards the jungle. But at that moment, an enemy mage suddenly appeared from the bushes. Thankfully, the distance was not close enough for her to be instantly killed. Qin Xiaoxu was startled into alertness! Good thing she had moved in time, or she would have had to ''lightning recall'' back to base again! Since the start of the school year, Qin Xiaoxu''s marksman not only hadn''t scored any kills, but she had also died several times! She really couldn''t bear to mention such a score! Upon seeing this, Lin Jie smirked and promptly imed the Red Buff for himself. Then he said in the game, "Hehe, if I didn''t trick you intoing for the Buff, you would have lost it." The midne mage chimed in, "Impressive, jungler bro." Lin Jie''s heart swelled with joy when he read this message, and he mused to himself, "Didn''t expect ying escort to be this fun, haha." However, she was so immersed in her own delight that shepletely failed to notice the piercing re from Qin Xiaoxu beside her! Oh Lin Jie, Lin Jie, how dare you interact with other girls in the game! Have you forgotten about your pretend girlfriend sitting right beside you? Telling me to go get the Red Buff was actually a ruse to get me away from the first tower! Qin Xiaoxu felt like she was being yed, and right now she was itching to clear out all of Lin Jie''s jungle! But this game was also crucial; Qin Xiaoxu''s rank always got stuck at this point, and if she could win just one more match, just one, she would reach the King rank today! So she had to bite her tongue for now. But what she never expected was that the support would twist the knife further, "Ah Ke has finally seen the archer''s greed clearly!" The next second, the other teammates started bombarding Qin Xiaoxu with question marks! Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t take it anymore! Then, in a fit of pique, she typed out, "Mage, nobody would take you for mute if you kept quiet! Ah Ke is being yed by my boyfriend!" Currently, Lin Jie didn''t even dare to breathe loudly; it seemed Qin Xiaoxu was genuinely angry. Maybe he saw the resemnce to his mother when she was angry in Qin Xiaoxu, which is why he chose to keep silent as a survival strategy! Seeing that he was now keeping quiet, Qin Xiaoxu felt much better. Hmph, you know what''s good for you, or else you would''ve been in for it today! No matter what, at least in the eyes of others, Lin Jie gave Qin Xiaoxu plenty of respect! The other teammates also fell silent upon hearing this. When a couple is gaming together, it''s best not to speak out of turn¡ªyou might be a target! The tactful midner quickly changed his tune, "Could you grab the dragon, jungler?" The support and topner also added, "Would be much obliged!" Lin Jie remained silent and focused quietly on the game. Throughout the game, Lin Jie dictated the pace, making catches and timely clearing the jungle, leading to a smooth victory. Yet, he never saw the Red Buff in his jungle again! A woman''s wrath is truly frightening! Qin Xiaoxu finally reached the coveted King rank, and since Lin Jie didn''t refute her when she called him her boyfriend, she felt a bit smug about it! But now Lin Jie was still pondering why a woman''s anger is so terrifying? He definitely must not provoke her in the future, or else he would be the one to suffer! It must be said that, in this regard, Lin Jie was quite enlightened. And so, the two of them continued to y several more matches, and coincidentally, the other groomsmen also passed by this ce. Chapter 141 Ascend to King "Ah, isn''t that our Lin Jie? Why are you hiding here ying games?" "Whoa, brought a girl, too? Why didn''t you call us? You''re totally putting beauty before bros, aren''t you?" "Right? We''re all close friends who often y together, and you sneak off with a girl¡ªwhy not invite your brothers to share the fun?" Qiu Zhenhua, Niu Chenghu, and others began teasing at the sight. They were just having fun with the two of them and didn''t really intend to start a game here. But a guy and a girl hiding out in this spot ying games did raise some suspicions. Lin Jie just smiled and said, "Alright, stop messing around. She''s stuck in the Star rank with several thousand matches, and I just took pity on her and decided to help her rank up." "Several thousand matches? Thousands? That many?" Qiang Hengxuan was the first to show a surprised expression. Qin Xiaoxu, who was thin-skinned, felt extremely embarrassed at that moment, not expecting the young man to speak about her that way in front of others! So, she vehemently retorted, "I just y casually for fun sometimes. Don''t you know what ''ying for fun'' means? I rarely y ranked matches, okay?" Even though she said that, Qin Xiaoxu knew full well that only about a thousand matches were for fun, and the rest of the five thousand were all ranked¡­ "Plus, I often get teammates who are pretty bad, sometimes they don''t cooperate or even steal positions... It''s not my fault if we lose, okay? When I lose, I just can''t let it go and keep ying!" After hearing her, Qiang Hengxuan chuckled and said, "It''s alright, now that you have Lin Jie to coach you, your rank will skyrocket!" Niu Chenghu also chimed in from the side, "That''s right, when Lin Yi ys with us, he always brings his cousin, a surefire jungle god, and almost every match he''s the MVP!" After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu shot him a brief look, but even so, she still preferred to y ranked matches alone because if she encountered bad teammates, she would just turn on voice chat and scold them¡ªthis felt very liberating, and when ying solo, even if she messed up, it didn''t really matter! Qin Xiaoxu was now aware of Lin Jie''s high skill level, yet she still said, "You''re not bad, so are you guys going to join us for a match?" "Sure! Let''s all y together! We have just enough people to form a team for multi-yer ranked!" Lin Jie said excitedly. He naturally hoped to y with everyone, as that would mean, if Qin Xiaoxu got angry, she wouldn''t direct her temper solely at him. After receiving Lin Jie''s invitation, Qiang Hengxuan shook his head repeatedly, considering himself quite the veteran in affairs of the heart, he quickly decided that Lin Jie was an unmistakable straight male! Is there any hope for such a straight male? But now they had nothing else to do, Jiang Jing had seen enough, snacked enough, and Lin Yi was busy taking care of the baby. They had already explored every ce there was to see, and there was still a while to go before the banquet! So, it was decided on the spot¡ªeveryone took out their phones, logged into the game, and started a multi-yer ranked match. They still didn''t know what exactly Lin Jie and Qin Xiaoxu were to each other, so instinctively they thought that Qin Xiaoxu must have taken a fancy to Lin Jie. Having known Lin Jie for so long, they were very clear about his character; he seldom interacted with girls, let alone y "King of Glory" with one! They always felt that girls would just be a drag, affecting his climb in rank! But the truth was different, and they definitely wouldn''t have guessed that Lin Jie had taken the initiative to invite Qin Xiaoxu, not with any romantic ideas in mind, but because he felt sorry for her. He thought her personal skills weren''t good enough; after ying so many matches, she was still stuck at the Starshine tier, and had never even reached the rank of "King", so he simply decided to help her out. With this thought, Lin Jie could already be considered a mega straight guy! Since there weren''t enough seats, everyone had to squeeze in, and Lin Jie and Qin Xiaoxu ended up sitting together. Like that, the group started ying together, and after a few rounds, the others noticed that Qin Xiaoxu''s midne mage skills were decent, and she could coordinate well with the othernes at critical moments. Maybe she was just unlucky, always getting matched with teammates who weren''t that great, which made her promotion matches not go so smoothly sometimes. Just as everyone was having a good time, Lin Jie''s mom came over. "Why are all of you gathered here? We''re supposed to head to the banquet soon, hurry up and join us, we mustn''t bete!" As soon as Lin Jie''s mom arrived, she saw her son sitting next to a girl and frowned slightly, beginning to harbor some suspicions. Hearing his mom, Lin Jie immediately asked, "Mom, we''ve just started this match, we''ll head over once we''re done!" If they had enough time, even fifteen minutes, they were confident they could make a direct push for the high ground. But Lin Jie''s mom said directly, "Oh, stop ying, there''s no more time. The other rtives have already boarded the vehicle. You guys really should be more concerned about your cousin''s big day instead of hiding here ying games and losing track of time." Lin Jie had no choice but to say to Qin Xiaoxu and the others, "We can''t y anymore. I''ve got important things to doter; I need to drive and pick up some rtives. I think we should just surrender this match, how about that?" Everyone agreed with a nod; today was a wedding, which was the biggest event of all. Everything else could wait! So that was how they yed games there, preparing to surrender when the time came, while Lin Jie''s mom quietly watched. After they finished ying and everyone scattered, she pulled her son aside and asked, "Lin Jie, tell me the truth, is that girl your girlfriend?" After his mom said this, Lin Jie looked startled, thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and came clean, "Ah, Mom, she''s my girlfriend, but please, don''t tell anyone. She isn''t ready to go public yet. My cousin and his wife don''t even know about her, and if you go around telling people, you might scare her. We''re not ready to go public yet, so please don''t interrupt us." Lin Jie''s mom was overjoyed and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, mom won''t say a word. I know you two have only been together for a few days, so I won''t go spreading it around!" Having seen her son''s girlfriend today, Lin Jie''s mom was incredibly happy. Even though she could only look and not engage in conversation, she was already beside herself with joy and was eager to tell Lin Jie''s dad about it right away. Then she hurriedly turned and left quickly, but not before turning back to nce at Qin Xiaoxu. Qin Xiaoxu, who hadn''t gone far, noticed Lin Jie''s mom''s gaze and instantly felt flustered. Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Delightful Visions Fortunately, Lin Jie''s mother only nced at them casually and didn''t say much before walking away. Qin Xiaoxu then turned her attention back to Lin Jie, but he was visibly avoiding her gaze. However, under Qin Xiaoxu''s stern look, he had no choice but to tell the truth and spill the beans. He lowered his voice and said, "I''ve been sending the selfies you gave me to my parents, so they know about our rtionship. And even if I didn''t, they would have pestered me to see them. I was going to tell them eventually, so when my mom asked if you were my girlfriend, I just admitted it~" After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t react much, just took a deep sigh and said, "Phew, when I saw the look in your mother''s eyes just now, my heart skipped a beat. Are you sure our act isn''t going to be found out? I feel like if they discover the truth, I won''t be able to face the consequences." Lin Jieughed and said, "Don''t worry, it absolutely won''t be found out. And the way my mom looked at you was definitely doting. Just imagine, you are their future daughter-inw! Just like how my uncle and auntie are with my cousin''s wife, that''s what my parents'' attitude towards you would be. Alright, no need to worry too much, everything is under control!" Qin Xiaoxu asked angrily, "Why did you choose to make me pretend to be a gold digger? Isn''t there any risk in that? I''m afraid they would kill me with just their stares!" Lin Jie was very cautious and scanned their surroundings before whispering in her ear, "I''m just being prepared for the worst, and we can''t let my parents like you too quickly. If you were too perfect and they became satisfied with you, then it would be hard for you to get outter. Plus, if I happen to meet someone I really like in the future, it would be easier to exin!" After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu nodded in understanding. When she thought it over, Lin Jie did have a point. With that, Lin Jie grabbed Qin Xiaoxu''s arm and led her outside, saying on the way, "Okay, let''s not talk about this anymore, we need to hurry to the wedding venue! I''ve got to driveter, and there are so many rtives to attend to! If you have anything to say, just message me after the rush is over!" Qin Xiaoxu felt a warmth spread through her arm and even her heart felt different, as if a ripple had disturbed its calm surface. Suddenly, she realized she might have developed a bit of a crush on Lin Jie, and became extremely interested in his family! Everyone gathered together again, and Lin Yi drove off with the groomsmen and rtives towards the hotel run by his father-inw. The wedding Lin Yi arranged was in a traditional Chinese style, overall very conventional and unlike the shy weddings thrown by the nouveau riche that seemed to have no purpose other than to show off, spending heaps of money on the banquet and hosting it in a five-star hotel. The purpose of this traditional Chinese wedding was to add more warmth and personal touch to the feast, and also to promote his father-inw''s new business; it was like using his own poprity to create a massive advertisement, and he also hoped the business could flourish in Xiangcheng. By doing this, he was helping his father-inw to the best of his ability, simultaneously fulfilling his desire to host his daughter''s banquet. After all, Han Xuewei was an only child, and her parents were extremely fond of her, so their wish to satisfy her and her family was paramount. Even though their wedding wasn''t held in a fancy hotel, the venue was impressive, and Lin Yi didn''t skimp on any expenses, opting for the mostvish options avable. Han Xue''s dad had initially just nned to run a restaurant, but upon securing such arge space, he decided to open a proper hotel instead and was very satisfied with the renovations. The first floor of the hotel dedicated half its space to the kitchen with the rest used for individual seating, while the second floor housed the main banquet hall, and the top floor waspletely made into private dining rooms, each floor boasting considerable space. Even so, the rent here is even lower than other ces, who would believe that? Therefore, in Dad Han''s eyes, it was an incredible bargain! The "Han''s Private Kitchen" restaurant, under the decoration of the professional team from the wedding nningpany, looked exceptionally festive. The inside and outside were both "dressed up," and the decorations could also be used for the opening ceremony after the wedding concluded. The manager Jiao from the Wenqu Building was also quite savvy, having arranged all the parking lots in advance. Today, the main focus was on vehicles from out of town, which were all to park in the underground parking lot. As for the outdoor lots, they were reserved only for wedding guests. If those were not enough, half of the First Layer was also cleared out. Lin Yi''s wedding banquet was set up with ny-ninerge tables, and the cars parked in the parking lot were numerous. Many people came specifically for this wedding feast. Lin Jie specially drove to pick up rtives who had rushed over from his old home and brought them to the wedding venue. At the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Yi, hand in hand with Han Xuewei, greeted the guests, apanied by the bridesmaids and groomsmen waiting nearby. Lin Yi''s parents, as well as his uncles and aunts, which included Lin Jie''s parents, were neatly seated in the front hall, also weing the guests. However, throughout the process, Lin Jie''s mother kept her gaze fixed on Qin Xiaoxu across from her, and the more she watched, the more she liked her. There''s always a type of people who are attracted to one another, birds of a feather flock together, and perhaps this was a kind of effect! Lin Jie''s mother felt that if Qin Xiaoxu could be Han Xuewei''s bridesmaid, it indicated a good rtionship between the two, so they must share somemon values. In any case, she was sure it couldn''t be bad! And Han Xuewei had left a particrly good impression on them; even Lin Yi''s parents would wear a satisfied expression whenever they mentioned their daughter-inw, so even if Qin Xiaoxu were not as outstanding as Han Xuewei, she should be of the same kind of girl, and they would definitely approve of her. If she turned out to be even more excellent than Han Xuewei, that would be an immense blessing! Today''s young people seem to have a different understanding of love, so in some marriages, if the couple''s values arepatible, or even good, that''s already quite favorable! As for the family background of the other party, Lin Jie''s mother didn''t care at all, and even if the future daughter-inw were a bitzy, that didn''t matter, as maternity matrons and maids were indispensable! And it wasn''t just Lin Jie''s mother¡ªeven his father was staring intently at Qin Xiaoxu, with shining eyesst time he saw her! The sensitive Qin Xiaoxu, of course, noticed Lin Jie''s parents smiling at her from across the way, and the more they looked, the more anxious she felt in her heart. She even worried that her acting skills were too poor and that she might inadvertently give herself away! Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Red Envelope Bombing Lin Jie caught sight of his parents'' intense gaze and hurriedly stood in front of Qin Xiaoxu, forcefully blocking their stares¡ªthe nearly frenzied stares! Then, Lin Jie quickly pulled his parents aside to a corner of the corridor, puzzledly saying, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Staring at her like that, she''ll get shy or even scared. What if she gets frightened?" Lin Jie''s parents then smiled apologetically and quickly exined, "We were just taking a few extra looks, but alright, we''ll stop now. We''ll pretend we don''t know her for the moment. However, you have to bring her over to see us in a few days. We really like little Qin, the more we look at her, the more satisfied we are!" Lin Jie''s parents were beaming with joy as if they had definitely decided Qin Xiaoxu was their future daughter-inw. Lin Jie had no choice but to agree. When he returned to Qin Xiaoxu''s side, he whispered in her ear, "You''ll have to say hello to my parentster. I''ve talked to them, and it''s not good to be at an impasse like this." After that, Lin Jie asked Qin Xiaoxu to check her phone and receive a message. Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu opened her phone and immediately saw a transfer from Lin Jie. Several instances of 520, no less! The next second, Qin Xiaoxu''s eyes filled with astonishment. Oh my! Five 520s in a row, so many! Qin Xiaoxu then said with a smile, "Alright, leave it to me." After speaking, she bypassed Lin Jie and even squeezed him aside, walking directly up to Lin Jie''s parents and saying, "Uncle, Auntie, you''ve been standing here a long time. You must be tired, right? Why don''t you sit down and rest a bit? Pretty much all the guests have arrived, so just leave this area to us." Lin Jie''s parents were both surprised and delighted by Qin Xiaoxu''s unexpected action, eximing, "Oh, yes, we''ll go rest in a bit, we can still hold on for a while." Their son''s girlfriend, no, their future daughter-inw was standing right there. How could they consider resting first? However long little Qin chose to stand, they could stand with her! Even if it was more exhausting, their hearts were sweet as honey! Most of the guests had already taken their seats, with only a few scattered arrivals making their way inside. The scene was now exceptionally lively. The guests were also sitting together and starting to discuss. Most of the guests were rtives of the Lin Family and the Han Family. "You might not know, but Lin Yi now even has a child!" "Yes, yes, I heard as well. It seems they''ve already celebrated the baby''s full month." "Exactly, they''re timing the wedding to coincide with the baby''s hundredth day celebration." "Apparently, they had triplets in one go, truly blessed with good fortune." "Ah? Really? A friend of mine who works at the hospital said that triplets were born in Xiangcheng recently. I never thought they''d be our own family''s babies! That''s great." "It looks like you''re out of the loop. I just saw the babies a moment ago. Each one cuter than thest." "I heard the bride and groom are from the same university and they haven''t even graduated yet! The two of them are even having a shotgun wedding." "Tsk, that''s all pretty normal these days. The views on love for today''s youth are different. Living together and such is prettymonce now." "Right, having a shotgun wedding isn''t a bad thing; at least it shows that both parties are in good health. If one of them were infertile, that would be the real bad news." "Yeah, yeah, these days there are so many problematic men and women. Some women have had too many abortions to have children, while some men smoke and drink too much and don''t exercise, making it even harder to conceive." Everyone chatted about all sorts of topics, and before long, the conversation had drifted off course. As all the seats filled up, some of the guests who arrived were business partners or friends of Lin Yi''s parents. Judging by today''s banquet, the Lin Family had quite a few friends. Although they weren''t a famous noble family, they still had a certain reputation and were well-established in the market. Others went over to ask the Han family guests, "Does your Han family have any girls who are as pretty and sensible as the bride? Our little rascal at home has reached the age for talking about marriage, but he doesn''t even have a partner yet! It''s driving me crazy!" "Maybe your son is just keeping it from you? There are plenty of beautiful girls in college. If he really tries, he could get one, maybe he just isn''t ready to bring someone home yet." "Sigh, he didn''t date anyone in college, and now it''s been two years since he graduated; it''s even tougher to find someone. I''m thinking about setting him up on a blind date. If you know anyone suitable, please do introduce her to us. If it really works out, we''ll be sure to show our gratitude." This topic involved many people, and everyone started looking for potential partners for their children during the wedding. "If someone makes a sessful introduction, I''m willing to give the matchmaker twenty thousand as a thank you!" "If someone introduces a girlfriend for my son, I''ll give thirty thousand!" "If there are any good daughter-inw candidates, prioritize me! I can offer fifty thousand!!" As the discussion became more heated, the proposed amounts started to increase markedly. "I know a girl with good character, but her only w is that she''s divorced. Her husband had another woman, and she''s raising the child by herself. Would anyone like an introduction?" At these words, the previously quarreling crowd fell silent, looking at each other, speechless. "Well, I have a son who got divorcedst year, but he doesn''t have children. I was wondering, is the child the woman is raising a boy or a girl? If it''s a girl, we wouldn''t mind, at least letting the two meet each other or something." To put it bluntly, they didn''t mind a divorce; what was concerning was if she came with a son, because nobody wanted to raise someone else''s son! ....... The wedding soon began, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively, filled with celebratory cheer. After a short wait, all the seats were taken, and Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s family, who had greeted guests at the door, finally returned to their ces. The bride was busy touching up her makeup! Lin Yi had already arranged early on for the Romeo Security Company''s personnel to help guard a safe in a private room. Inside, besides several sets of Gold''s jewelry for Han Xuewei, there was also the True Love series of diamond jewelry, worth several hundred million. Lin Yi selected some suitable jewelry, and then put it on Han Xuewei, making her look extremely luxurious and noble. After Lin Yi carefully adorned her, he hugged Han Xuewei from behind and came in front of a mirror. "Baby, you really look so beautiful and enchanting!" Han Xuewei smiled and asked, "So am I only beautiful today?" Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Im willing Lin Yi quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, you''ve always been beautiful, but today is the most special!" Han Xuewei''s face was brimming with a blissful smile as she looked at Lin Yi in the mirror, with tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. Just at that moment, Lin Yi''s phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was a call from his mom. "Lin Yi, how are the preparations going? If you''re ready,e straight here. Remember to watch the time, we can''t miss the auspicious moment." Lin Yi smiled and said, "Mom, you can rest assured, we absolutely won''t bete. We''re all packed up and will be there soon!" Then, he personally put the veil on Han Xuewei, and just as he opened the door, he saw the bridesmaids and others waiting outside. Upon seeing Han Xueweie out, the makeup artist quickly helped her with the final touches. "Lin Yi, you can go down now, I''ll be right down." Because of the different sequence of appearances, Lin Yi could only nod and say, "Hmm, I''ll go down first then." After saying that, he took the lead and left. At this time, Qin Xiaoxu hurried over to Han Xuewei and said, "Vivi, make sure you take a good look when you toss the bouquetter! See clearly where I am before you throw it!" After hearing this, Han Xuewei smiled. Of course, she knew Qin Xiaoxu''s thoughts¡ª her best friend was also anxious to find her own true love! So, she promised with a smile, "I''ll definitely throw it to you, but you have to catch it! It won''t be good if someone else snatches it away." The other bridesmaids chuckled after hearing this and said, "No problem, we''ll fulfill your dream if we let you have the bouquet." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was immediately touched beyond words. She wasn''t in a hurry to get married or to meet a soul mate or anything like that. All she hoped for was to fall in love as soon as possible, especially since she hadn''t had a boyfriend during her college years, and not only were her parents urging her on, but she was also bing a bit anxious herself! Besides, her parents had been letting her live freely, allowing her to move out on her own to make more contacts out there until she found a boyfriend! If she really found a boyfriend, then she would be able to rightfully return home and lie down, returning to afortable life just like before! But if not, then she could only consider herself unlucky and keep living on her own outside, slogging to and from work every day! ¡­ The long-awaited wedding finally began, with a lovely, melodious tune starting to y. Lin Yi and his groomsmen took their ces on the stage while an archway was temporarily set up at the entrance, especially for Han Xuewei''s appearance. Han Xuewei was standing under the archway, with her bridesmaids holding the train of her dress. Directly behind Han Xuewei were the girls, pushing a baby stroller decorated like a float, with the Lin Family triplets inside! Close by were Aunt Wang and two maternity matrons, ready to handle all sorts of baby-rted issues. It was clear that Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s triplet babies were ying the roles of flower children today! Just then, Han Xuewei''s father-inw walked towards his daughter, and Han Xuewei linked her arm with her father''s, slowly walking towards Lin Yi. With the lead of the enthusiastic emcee, Dad Han handed his daughter over to Lin Yi. Han Xuewei''s hand was also ced into Lin Yi''s palm. "Lin Yi, she''s my only daughter, and from today on, she''spletely in your hands! You must never bully her, okay?" Lin Yi nodded very seriously and promised, "Mhm, father-inw, I won''t let everyone down!" And just like that, Lin Yi, in all his glory, held Han Xuewei''s hand as they faced the many friends and rtives gathered there. The master of ceremonies also led a round of apuse, with words of blessing flowing endlessly, and then the liveliest part of the event was about to begin! The MC went straight to Han Xuewei and said, "Today''s bride, Han Xuewei, are you willing to take today''s groom, Mr. Lin Yi, to be yourwfully wedded husband? Whether he is healthy or not in the future, will you remain by his side, love him with all your heart, tolerate everything about him until thest moment of life!!" Han Xuewei calmed her excited heart and then said earnestly, "I do." Next, the MC turned to Lin Yi and asked, "Mr. Lin Yi, as today''s groom, do you..." But Lin Yi, without any hesitation, interrupted the MC, eagerly saying, "I do! I do!" Seeing this, the MCughed, "I gotta say, our groom today is quite impatient! Are you in a hurry to get to the bridal chamber?" The guests burst intoughter upon hearing this. It was thisughter that made the atmosphere at the scene even more lively and festive. And Han Xuewei, upon hearing these words, also blushed slightly but her face was still filled with a sweet smile, brimming with happiness. It was Han Xuewei''s every smile and frown that sparked discussions among the guests. "Wow, the bride is so beautiful! A real goddess of beauty!" "Look at what you''re saying, the bride is the recognized campus beauty of Xiangcheng University, and her beauty is beyond question!" "I heard that the couple is still in their senior year of college, and they haven''t finished their studies yet." "Yeah, they took a sabbatical right after learning about the pregnancy. But that''s alright; after all, they got pregnant with triplets at once, and the pregnancy must have been harder than for the average expectant mom, so they need plenty of rest. So envious!" "Hahaha, if these two return to school this year, they''ll definitely be the center of attention!" "Yes, even though they are married now, she will still be the campus beauty when they return, and beauty is one thing, but being a mother adds to her gentleness..." "Although she is extremely gentle, when I think of the triplets, I can''t help but feel it''s tough; the confinement period must be very tiring, it''s really not easy..." "Many people would love to have that kind of ''tiring''; they can''t even get it. It''s also about having good fortune; if I could have triplets, I would be willing no matter how exhausting!" "Haha, you''re right about that..." Han Xuewei, dressed in her immacte white wedding gown, along with the triplets, immediately became the center of everyone''s attention. At that moment, Aunt Wang and the nannies held the babies in their arms. The little ones were already a hundred days old, and they were staring intently at Lin Yi and Han Xuewei! The luckiest thing was that the babies witnessed the moment their parents stepped into the halls of matrimony with their own eyes! Daddy looks so handsome today! Mommy is so beautiful today! Lin Yi and Han Xuewei also exchanged rings! Han Xuewei, wearing a veil, looked at Lin Yi with anticipation, waiting for him to lift it. After Lin Yi lifted the veil, he looked at Han Xuewei with deep affection, and then the two embraced tightly and kissed in front of so many rtives present. Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Moved to Tears After the kiss, Lin Yi didn''t forget to continue holding Han Xuewei tightly in his arms. The emceeughed and said, "Oh, it seems that our groom is not only eager but doesn''t think of us as outsiders! Why don''t the two of you show a little more restraint?" Red-faced, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi separated after hearing this. Han Xuemei looked up at everyone, first at her parents who had raised her for so many years, then at her rtives and friends, and her close girlfriends, before finally resting her gaze on the children. At that moment, her eyes filled with tears of happiness. Lin Yi was also quite emotional at this time, and he couldn''t help but feel a lump in his throat as tears swirled in his eyes. Seemingly having anticipated this moment, he took out a tissue from his pocket and tenderly wiped Han Xuewei''s tears, saying softly, "Vivi, my wife." At that moment, he could not say anything else; his gentle gaze conveyed all his love. The emcee also tactfully gave them a moment, and after a short while, stirred up everyone''s emotions again. "Now let''s move on to the next fun segment! I invite today''s bride to toss her bouquet to the others! Let''s see which bridesmaid or groomsman can catch this lucky blessing!" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes andughed happily. She said to Qin Xiaoxu not far away, "Xiaoxu, then I''ll just throw it directly to you. You must catch it! Get ready to receive the blessing!" Qin Xiaoxu immediately snagged the center spot and said to Han Xuewei, "Just throw it. Today this bouquet is a must for me! Don''t you guys snatch it away!" Two bridesmaids teased deliberately, "How can this be eptable? We have to follow the rules and grab it by our ability!" The groomsmen also tactfully moved to the edge of the stage at this time, clearing a space for them, "You girls enjoy this kind of thing! We''ll stand aside for now." With that, thepetition was lessened, and Qin Xiaoxu''s confidence increased. Compared to the groomsmen, the bridesmaids seemed to value this blessing more, as they saw that everyone had graduated, but some didn''t even have boyfriends yet! Who wouldn''t want to meet a husband like Lin Yi? Even if it meant quitting their jobs to be a housewife at home, they were willing to make that sacrifice! Han Xuewei saw the expectant looks of the bridesmaids and slowly turned around. She was ready to throw the bouquet! Closing her eyes gently and taking a few deep breaths, Han Xuewei tossed the bouquet from over her head to behind her! But as she threw it, the bouquet was leaning sideways, and the next second, Lin Jie, standing on the edge of the field with a stunned look, found himself holding the bouquet and looked around. "Oh my, I didn''t snatch it... it fell into my arms on its own!" Seeing this, everyoneughed, and the other groomsmen teased, "Hahaha, Lin Jie, this is fate that can''t be defied! Brothers are waiting for your wedding banquet! You''ve got to work harder now!" But who would have guessed he would just stuff the bouquet into Qin Xiaoxu''s arms: "Go on, what''s with the teasing? I''m definitely not getting married within the next two years! Take it, take it, you keep it." However, Qin Xiaoxu was quite displeased, "No, that''s yours; you caught it. I don''t want it!" Then she tried to return the bouquet to Lin Jie. But Lin Jie refused to take it no matter what. Immediately after, the emcee called Han Xuewei back to the stage, "It seems that our lucky star for today has been born. Now, will this beautiful bridesmaid pleasee to our stage." Qin Xiaoxu at this time was also very helpless, after all, today was her best friend''s wedding; she couldn''t refuse to give even this bit of face, right? She straightened her clothes and walked toward the stage. Seeing the scene before their eyes, Lin Jie''s parents couldn''t have been happier, because in their eyes, the one receiving this blessing was to be their daughter-inw! Of course, this was also their expectation, hoping that the next wedding banquet they attended would be for their son and his future bride. How wonderful that would be! After all, they were both looking forward to holding their grandchildren soon! "Our bridesmaid today seems very beautiful! I believe all the single men here must have one question: Miss, are you currently single?" After speaking, he turned with a smile to look at the other groomsmen. Not only the groomsmen present but also the other men started to cheer along, casting their gazes this way. While Qin Xiaoxu''s beauty might not surpass that of today''s bride, Han Xuewei, when seen on her own, she was definitely a prettydy! But when Qin Xiaoxu heard the question, she waspletely dumbfounded! Her brain whirred rapidly, at a loss for words in the moment. At her side, Han Xuewei was anxiously shaking her arm, saying, "Quickly tell everyone, aren''t you just in need of a boyfriend?" Caught in a dilemma, Qin Xiaoxu knew she couldn''t admit she was single with Lin Jie''s parents watching her! Yet if she didn''t confess, the great opportunity for a rtionship might slip away¡ªfor good! She didn''t know when she would next encounter so many single men! Oh my goodness! I should never have pretended to be Lin Jie''s girlfriend!! It was a loss far outweighing the gain!! Ah, I''m so angry! In the end, Han Xuewei chose to protect the hopes of Lin Jie''s parents and, with determination and gritted teeth, she said bluntly, "I''m sorry, I''m not single." It didn''t matter anymore; she wasn''t concerned with those things now! Perhaps all this was arranged by fate! It seemed that her destiny wasn''t here. And naturally, the most surprised by her answer was Han Xuewei: "Ah! Xiaoxu! Not single? When did you find someone? Why didn''t you ever tell us? You''ve kept it so well hidden!" Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly exined in a whisper, "Wait until we get off the stage, I''ll tell you. I said that for a reason." Han Xuewei looked at Qin Xiaoxu with perplexity, knowing that no matter what the reason she gave today, she would be happy! After all, they were the best of friends! Upon hearing this, Lin Jie''s parents also showed content smiles, believing that the girl still had their son in her heart! As soon as Qin Xiaoxu finished speaking, the other men in the audience clearly showed looks of disappointment, but Lin Jie didn''t seem surprised at all¡ªin fact, his eyes were filled with gratitude! Qin Xiaoxu was a true friend indeed! Not only did she bear no grudge against him, but she also acknowledged in front of his parents that she wasn''t single! The emcee, having heard her response, expressed regret on behalf of the other single men present: "Oh no, so thedy is not single after all!" Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Breaking the Deadlock "This just shattered everyone''s hopes!" Clearly, some sighs from the male guests could be heard from below. "Hahaha, don''t feel too regretful, everyone. This beautifuldy already has a boyfriend, so let''s sincerely wish them happiness! I hope you all can also enter the marriage hall soon!" the host said with high emotional intelligence, deftly smoothing over the situation. "And I hope to have the chance to continue hosting and witness your love stories!" After hearing this, the other guests also burst into apuse. "Alright, let''s all taste the wedding cake now! Pop open the champagne of blessings!" The waiters, who had been waiting outside for a long time, wheeled in the massive seven-tier cake and three trolleys filled with champagne! At this moment, Han Xuewei no longer pressed Qin Xiaoxu about not being single. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei worked together to cut the cake and then opened all the champagne bottles. The babies were taken to a private room on the thirdyer, as it was almost time for their feeding. The wedding was more or less over at this point, and Han Xuewei, with the help of others, stepped down and then went to change clothes with her makeup artist. Lin Yi went straight to his seat to eat. Lin Yi''s parents considerately served food for their daughter-inw, waiting for her to return before eating, fearing that otherwise she might miss out on the food. The groomsmen were also arranged to sit at the same table, with Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie naturally sitting together. Lin Jie was through and through a typical straight male character, so during the meal, he only concentrated on serving himself, and Han Xuewei didn''t pay him any attention. However, this scene had Lin Jie''s mother anxiously eximing! She knew her son all too well. This straight male character of his had never changed! He simply didn''t know how to be considerate of girls! Lin Jie''s mother helplessly shook her head, deciding that when they got back, she would give him a proper lesson, no matter what, to make him remember how to be thoughtful towards girls. What kind of way was this to be in a rtionship? As several hot dishes were served, the host picked up the microphone and returned to the stage, saying, "I have some good news for everyone here. Today, we celebrate double happiness, not only the wedding of the lovely couple but also the opening ceremony of (Han''s Private Kitchen). This ninth-floor venue, where the wedding is held, happens to be the property of the bride''s father. This great father has been waiting for this day for more than 20 years, and every dish is his own creation, filled with fatherly love!" "Han''s Private Kitchen initially made a name for itself with braised dishes, but over the decades of development, it has evolved into a diverse restaurant. Here, in addition to traditional Chinese dishes, there are buffet and Western dining options. Today''s banquet features a variety of signature dishes. Chapter Enjoy: Everyone, please enjoy your meal today, and we look forward to weing you again in the future!" Before the host went on stage, Lin Yi had already instructed him to say so, and the father-inw, after hearing such a speech, expressed his gratitude, looking at Lin Yi with a very satisfied smile and nodding. Lin Yi looked back at his father-inw with a smile, greeting him with a smile in return. As soon as the host finished speaking, the guests started to discuss amongst themselves. "Oh my, I only knew that the Lin family was well-off, but I didn''t expect the bride''s family to be so well-off too!" "Yes, this is the biggest building in the city center, and renting such arge ce here to open a shop, their strength must be considerable!" "I just checked it out, and there are three floors here, with each floor being about a thousand square meters. The top floor is all private rooms!" "Look at their vision, it''s simply far-sighted! Growing big and strong here today is for being even stronger in Xiangcheng!" "Indeed, I was chatting with a rtive from the Han family just now, and heard that the bride''s father also runs a hotel in Xiao Chuan County, and it''s a family business too, quiterge in scale! Importantly, she is their only daughter." "Gosh, they must be so rich, no wonder they can afford to open a restaurant in a building in the city center. The rent here must be cheap, right? Given the size, I''m afraid it could be over a million a month!" "Probably even two million, considering the scale!" "The Lin Family''s strength isn''t bad either, Lin Yi directly gave Han Xuewei''s parents a cash gift of two hundred and fifty thousand! And that''s no small sum! Plus, the dowry is several million! I heard they picked a particrly auspicious number." "And the bride''s dowry isn''t small either; they gave her a Mercedes Benz as part of it, which is parked right outside in the parking lot. I saw it with my own eyes! It''s incredible! Poverty really does limit my imagination!" Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Han Xuewei had changed her clothes and was slowlying downstairs. Now, with her hair tied up, her entire face was visible, so delicate and charming. She walked slowly over to this side. Lin Yi also hurriedly went forward to greet her, and Lin Yi''s mother served Han Xuewei the dishes she had set aside. Han Xuewei also smiled, nodded, and said, "Mom, thank you." Lin Yi''s mother said, "Eat while it''s hot; these are all your favorites. Later, you still have to toast the guests!" Many of the guests at the tables began to discuss today''s bride, after all, her captivating appearance was hard to overlook. But one person''s mood waspletely opposite that of the other guests. Han Xuemei, sitting at a table, kept her head down and focused on her meal, merely to conceal her nearly frantic expression! She nced at her cousin, then at her mother next to her, and deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Mom, I''m so envious of cousin! I want toe to Xiangcheng to make something of myself. I wonder if I could find my Mr. Right here!" After hearing this, Han Xuemei''s mother was taken aback, then asked, "Xue Mei, why are you suddenly thinking this way? I still think it''s better to develop in Xiao Chuan County. At least your dad and I can look after you and help you out. Can''t we stay away from here, okay?" Han Xuemei was also an only child; due to the special policies back then, they didn''t have a second child. Otherwise, their family would certainly have one or two more children. After hearing her mother''s words, Han Xuemei shook her head repeatedly and said, "Mom, times are different now, young people need to see the world, to go out and make their mark. At least let me try for a few more years before going back. Otherwise, if I stay in Xiao Chuan County my whole life, I definitely won''t be satisfied! If I can''t even find a boyfriend there, what will I do in the future?" After listening, Han Xuemei''s mother felt there was some truth in her daughter''s words and began worrying too. The reason she wanted her daughter to stay close was the fear of her marrying far away. But now, with the daughter hoping to develop herself in Xiangcheng, it wasn''t out of the question. Xiangcheng was only a two or three-hour drive from their ce, and it would be quicker by high-speed rail. So, this distance was still eptable to them. Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Conspiracy ``` However, she was very worried about what kind of boyfriend Han Xuewei would find when she came back. If her daughter nned to live separately with her husband in the future, then she and Xue Mei''s father would have to consider buying an apartment in Xiangcheng, but this was a big problem. They simply didn''t have the financial strength to buy wherever they wanted, like Lin Yi could. "Oh, Mom, I think this city is quite suitable for me to make my way in, and besides, my uncle is here, and I can help him out, you know." After hearing this, Han Xuemei''s mother became even more puzzled, "Help? You''d do well not to be a burden, he doesn''t need your help. Besides, aren''t you a dance major? What help could you possibly be?" But Han Xuemei said, "Although my major is different, I''ve always been very interested in cooking. Mom, I''ve been learning to cook with grandpa since I was little, even he said I have a talent for it. And it''s a skill, right? Even if I live on my own in the future, I won''t starve, right?" After listening, Han Xuemei''s mother pondered for a moment, feeling that her daughter indeed had a point. "Well... let''s do as you say then! I''ll give your uncle a heads upter, so he can look out for you too." Atst, Han Xuemei smiled in satisfaction. She had nned everything out very well. She knew Lin Yi didn''t need to do much at home, so she would oftene to help out at the restaurant. Moreover, her uncle had only one daughter, her cousin, so who else would he count on if not her and her cousin''s husband? Her uncle was probably already calcting his retirement life. Now all she had to do was get there as soon as possible to scope things out, then she could proceed with the next step of her n! Han Xuemei lowered her head slightly, a cunning smile curling up the corners of her mouth. Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Jie was gorging himself when he suddenly saw the message from his mom on WeChat. After a moment, he nudged Qin Xiaoxu beside him, "Do you want to go over to my mom''s table? She''s calling us both over." Qin Xiaoxu was startled by this, then looked towards Lin Jie''s parents'' table and saw the two smiling warmly at her. She smiled shyly and said quietly, "Isn''t it... might not be too good..." But Lin Jie bluntly said, "Psh, what''s not good about it? They''ll just chat with you a bit, they don''t bite. What are you afraid of?" Chapter Stay: However, after hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu got upset, "If I go over with you now, won''t that be telling everyone that I''m dating you? Anyway, I''ll just stay here where I am, I''m not going anywhere. I agreed to pretend to be your girlfriend, but that was only to deceive your parents. It''s not necessary to be so public in front of all these people!" After hearing this, Lin Jie hunched his shoulders and said, "Then let''s forget it and just stay here to eat." He then replied to his parents on the phone, "Mom, Xiaoxu said she''s noting over, it''s all unfamiliar people at that table, and she feels a bit embarrassed." Mother Lin considered the message and thought that Qin Xiaoxu''s concerns were reasonable. The girl had just announced she wasn''t single, and now to join her son at the table, the other rtives would certainly gossip. After all, she''s still a young girl, and it''s okay to be a bit shy. They would wait for the two to develop their rtionship further, and there would be opportunities to eat togetherter. If she pushed too hard now, it might scare her away, which would not be good. So, she nodded with a smile. Lin Jie also said to Qin Xiaoxu beside him, "Didn''t I tell you? They definitely won''t make things difficult for you, they''re all very understanding." ``` Qin Xiaoxu also took a few more nces over there. Although she had refused, she could see that the smiles on the faces of Lin Jie''s parents still radiated kindness. You can''t fool people with a look in your eyes; they must be very amicable people. For almost an instant, Qin Xiaoxu found herselfpletely projecting herself into Lin Jie''s family, or rather, she imagined herself as Lin Jie''s girlfriend! Ah spit spit spit! Qin Xiaoxu hastily banished the thought, reminding herself in her mind, "This is just an act, don''t get too carried away! I''m just making some extra money! I''m definitely not his girlfriend!" Qin Xiaoxu immediately snapped back to reality, and then began eating again! Meanwhile, Lin Yi was busy serving dishes to his wife, scraping off the excess oil from the dishes that were too greasy, and then feeding her personally. Mother Lin saw that the dishes had mostly been served, with only one dish of golden and silver steamed buns remaining, and casually said to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, it''s about time, go toast the guests now, call everyone else and let''s go." And so, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, Lin Yi''s parents, as well as Han Xuewei''s parents, and all the other bridesmaids and groomsmen got up with their drinks and began toasting the guests table by table. All of the guests sent their most heartfelt blessings to Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, the newlyweds, and also praised the food here to no end! "The braised dishes here can be considered some of Xiangcheng''s most delicious and authentic, the vor is really good!" "Yes, especially that braised duck, the meat is tender and juicy, rich but not greasy, deeply vorful! Such tasty dishes are rare in Xiangcheng!" "With banquet halls and dining seats already, there should be private rooms too, right?" Han Xuewei''s father, hearing everyone''s unending praise of the dishes, was of course very pleased. He also told everyone, "We do have private rooms too! There are rooms for four people, as well as ones that can amodate up to fifteen people, suitable for family gatherings or business entertaining! If you alle to visit in the future, I will definitely secure the biggest discount for everyone! The first month after opening, everything is 30% off!" "We''ll definitelye to patronize in the future!" Lin Yi was also very happy, it seemed that it wasn''t so difficult for the restaurant to gain a foothold in Xiangcheng. At that moment, Han Xuewei was also very satisfied, as long as her dad was happy, she too would feel good. After finally toasting all the guests, an hour had flown by in the blink of an eye. Because it was his big day, Lin Yi did not escape the toasts from rtives and friends, he seemed flushed and slightly red in the ears, the entire groomsman group had drunk quite a bit. Some guests also came up to toast the bride, and even wanted bridesmaid Qin Xiaoxu to have a drink too, but Lin Jie stepped in to block them. Thanks to Lin Jie''s intervention, Qin Xiaoxu was quite grateful. It seemed that Lin Jie really did have a sense of responsibility. Some groomsmenpletely disregarded the bridesmaids'' feelings, and when they saw others trying to get the bridesmaids to drink, they joined in the hubbub, even showing a bit of a ''the more chaos, the better'' attitude. But unexpectedly, Lin Jie was so different! It must be said, Qin Xiaoxu felt warmed by his actions, if only for a moment. Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Facts Lin Jie''s parents also saw their son blocking drinks for Qin Xiaoxu. They were overjoyed! Their precious son had finallye to his senses! After toasting, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei, along with others, hurried back to their seats at the head table to grab a quick bite before preparing to see off guests at the restaurant''s main entrance! Weddings are really all about busying oneself, attending to guests; as joyous as they are, the exhausting parts are unavoidable. But when you think about it, it''s all worth it. Such events happen only once in a lifetime after all! As long as you''re happy at heart, what''s a little suffering or fatigue? It was also during this time that Han Xuewei took the opportunity to feed the baby for a while, with Qin Xiaoxuing up to help. Lin Jie, having been drinking for his cousin, was now thoroughly drunk and was resting in a private room on the third floor. And his parents nned to take him home once they were done with the busy work. Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu were in the next private room, feeding the baby. Suddenly Han Xuewei brought up the topic from earlier, and, smiling, she asked, "Xiaoxu, tell me the truth, do you already have a boyfriend?" "You''ve kept it quite a secret! You didn''t even tell me! How much longer were you nning to hide it? Have you stopped caring about our friendship?" Qin Xiaoxu exined anxiously, "Vivi, you have to listen to me exin, it''s not what you think at all!" "I''ll tell you the truth, I''m still single! I don''t have a boyfriend." Han Xuewei asked suspiciously, "Are you really still single? Then why didn''t you tell the truth earlier?" Qin Xiaoxu replied with a hint of aggrievement, "Here''s the thing, I promised Lin Jie that for a while I''d pretend to be his girlfriend, just to satisfy his parents." Han Xuewei''s eyes widened in disbelief and she eximed, "What? That''s really a thing? I''m curious, where did you two meet? How long have you known each other? You didn''t seem that familiar with each other today!" Since her best friend had asked, Qin Xiaoxu could only respond truthfully, "I saw his post on our school''s confession wall, but when I added him as a friend, I had no idea he and Lin Yi were cousins, much less that he''d being to the wedding today as a groomsman! I really didn''t know!" Han Xuewei nodded and said, "Hmm, and then?" Qin Xiaoxu continued, "Lin Jie had posted a message on the confession wall saying that if any girl was willing to help him, he would reward her handsomely. So I added him as a friend. We met once before, so we naturally got to know each other." Listening intently, Han Xuewei''s eyes shone with curiosity, "Wow, you two are so fated!" But at that moment, Qin Xiaoxu shrugged her shoulders and said, "Fated? I don''t care for such fate. I have no interest at all. Just now, when we were picking up the bride, seeing him scared me! It was only then that I realized his connection to Lin Yi! Isn''t the world just too small?" Han Xuewei kept smiling and said, "Well, I think that is fate, maybe it''s your romantic destiny!" "No, no, no, I don''t care for that kind of romantic destiny, and besides, I, I''m... not interested in him..." Qin Xiaoxu said, realizing she felt a bit guilty. And how could Han Xuewei, a close friend for many years, fail to notice that? "You''re hesitating even to speak, and whenever you hesitate, it means you''re not sure about it!" "The two of you even might reach fruition in your rtionship!" Qin Xiaoxu, when told this, also knew she wasn''t certain, but at the beginning, she indeed found the matter rather interesting and had joined in. She had previously fantasized that maybe through this she could encounter romance, but looking at the current progress, there wasn''t much development between her and Lin Jie, and Lin Jiepletely disregarded such matters, not even giving Qin Xiaoxu any flutter of the heart. Qin Xiaoxu had always been a rational person, especially when it came to rtionships, so she wouldn''t easily confess her true feelings to someone, much less fall for someone casually. Han Xuewei, although she didn''t say much more, already knew her best friend''s predicament. Sometimes emotions are like this; they alwayse unexpectedly, and when they do, they''re unstoppable. If two people could end up together, that would already be fate, definitely not something one person could decide alone. However, Han Xuewei just had a strong hunch, she felt that there definitely would be a story happening between these two. Lin Yi finally finished seeing off the guests and drove back to the new vi. By the time they returned, it was already 8:30 in the evening, with everyone busy with other matters. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had nothing pressing to do, and there were still a few rtives staying in the house, and it was about time for the babies to feed and sleep. The others talked with the guests, while Lin Yi and Han Xuewei tidied their bridal room, and after finishing, they joined the conversation. ording to local customs, they were supposed to serve tea to everyone. The first to be served were Lin Yi''s parents. The couple sat side by side on the mahogany bench, Aunt Wang specially brought over the tea, Lin Yi, holding Han Xuewei, stood in the middle, and Han Xuewei took the tea, bowing to her father-inw and mother-inw, "Dad, your daughter-inw offers you tea!" Lin Yi''s dad quickly took out the previously prepared red envelope, smiling as he agreed, "Good! Drink the tea." He took the tea, drained the small cup in one gulp, and then set it back on the te. Han Xuewei took another cup of tea, calling out to her mother-inw, "Mom! Your daughter-inw offers you tea!" Lin Yi''s mom also hurriedly pulled out a red envelope, tossing it into Han Xuewei''s hand, very happily saying, "Good! You and Lin Yi must manage this household well." "Yes, I understand, Mom." Lin Yi''s mother was certainly very happy now; she was extremely pleased with her daughter-inw! After serving tea to the parents, it was time to serve tea to the other rtives! Once this process waspleted, Lin Yi''s parents and Han Xuewei''s parents together saw off the guests, then quickly went to freshen up, as they would help Aunt Wang and the two Maternity Matrons look after the babiester. Everyone had been busy all day today, and the babies, having gone out and met quite a few people, were pleased with the excitement of the whole day, so they would go to sleepter than usual today. The Maternity Matrons and Aunt Wang nned to conveniently give the kids a bath and, before bedtime, feed them; otherwise, the babies would be ufortable. The newly moved-into vi had a separate bathing area, and it was especially spacious, at least 15 square meters, so there was ample space for the adults to help the three babies bathe together. Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Qianda Shopping Mall Lin Yi, ted, scooped Han Xuewei up in a princess carry and brought her into the bedroom. And at that moment, a prompt from the system rang in his mind! "Congrattions, host, you''ve unlocked a hidden task and earned the reward of Qianda Shopping Mall! (Domestic Chain)" Right at that instant, Lin Yi''s arms quivered while holding Han Xuewei! Wow! Qianda Shopping Mall!! It''s actually be mine?? Wow! Just wow! Lin Yi was absolutely stunned by this news. So now, wouldn''t that mean his wealth had reached tens of billions? But at that moment, Han Xuewei smiled and said mysteriously to Lin Yi, "Honey, today is our wedding day, and I want to aplish something together with you." Upon hearing that, Lin Yi felt a thump in his heart and then pinned Han Xuewei against the wall, "Baby, you''re so forward today..." Han Xuewei pushed him off with a giggly smile, saying, "It''s not what you think, silly. It''s another thing that we have to do together." Lin Yi looked puzzled. Han Xuewei sneaked a smile, then walked towards the wardrobe, rummaged around, and took out several sheets of white paper, some pens, and quite a few paints. Lin Yi watched Han Xuewei curiously, asking, "Baby, what are you doing with these things? Don''t tell me you want me toy down and you''ll paint a nude of me?" Han Xuewei gave him an exasperated nce, saying indignantly, "Go away, who wants to paint that? You wish!" She ced the paint and brushes aside, then started mixing colors on the palette. She chose a few and mixed them carefully, and after a moment, several attractive warm colors emerged. She tidied up the paper, then said to Lin Yi beside her, "Come on, stretch out your hand." Lin Yi obediently did as told, and Han Xuewei applied a lighter shade of blue with a brush. Lin Yi stayed still, but the look he gave Han Xuewei started to grow odd. "Baby, what are you trying to do?" Lin Yi watched as his hand was fully coated with paint. However, Han Xuewei continued mysteriously, "Don''t rush, you''ll know soon." Han Xuewei pulled Lin Yi''s hand onto the paper, then pressed down! After Lin Yi lifted his hand, she applied another color and immediately swapped to a new sheet, pressing a fresh handprint. After repeating this process several times, she finally showed a satisfied expression and told Lin Yi to go to the washroom to clean up. "Okay, you can go clean up now; you''ll understand what I''m doing when you get back!" Lin Yi, half-understanding, nodded, then rushed to the sink with his hands covered in paint. After Lin Yi left, Han Xuewei took a clean brush and, using the same method, started working on herself, leaving her handprints on every piece of paper with Lin Yi''s handprints. When Lin Yi came back to the room, he instantly saw the neat array of artworksid out before him. He smiled, then wrapped Han Xuewei in his arms, very intimately and said, "Baby." Han Xuewei, with her dirty hands, kissed Lin Yi''s cheek, "Look, what do you think?" Lin Yi nodded, looking at her affectionately, "Mmm, it''s very beautiful, and I really like the meaning of this painting too." "To hold your hand and to grow old with you together. Vivi, rest assured, I will never let you down!" Han Xuewei smiled back at him, without saying much, Lin Yi understood its meaning, maybe that''s what matching souls are like! She had always believed that Lin Yi would indeed fulfill his promises to her! "Mhmm, okay." Lin Yi hugged Han Xuewei even tighter, and what followed was a series of passionate kisses. Han Xuewei pushed him, "Honey, I''m going to take a shower now." Lin Yi kissed her deeply again, "Let me help you wash your hands first, the paint is hard to get off." The next second, he swept her up in a princess carry and headed straight for the restroom. True love is just like this, to hold your hand and to grow old with you together. By the time the next morning came around, Han Xuewei was almost holding her waist with one hand as she got up, calling the soundly sleeping Lin Yi at her side while shaking him, "Honey, it''s not early anymore, time to get up." Lin Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and checked the time, "Baby, we can sleep a bit longer, we don''t have anything to rush for today anyway." But Han Xuewei said to him, "We need to get up early today, ording to custom, both of us have to get up early to serve tea to our parents." After hearing this, Lin Yi scrambled out of the bed too, "Got it, I''m getting up. The first day of married life starts with listening to my wife!" And so, the two of them went to freshen up together. All their daily necessities now were couple versions, some were even freshly changed to red yesterday, and for a moment, Han Xuewei felt her happiness was off the charts. Lin Yi saw her looking at him with a smile while he brushed his teeth, and gently touched her head with his hand, "What are you thinking about? You''re smiling so happily." Han Xuewei teased, "I am thinking, ah! Will you dare to bully me in the future? I''ll tell mom and dad at the first instance! Let them teach you a lesson." Lin Yi chuckled mischievously, "You want to tattle? I want to hear how you will tell on me. Will you tell them the details?" Han Xuewei yfully gave him a look, "Go away, annoying." Then she started washing her face on her own, no longer paying attention to Lin Yi. Due to theck of time to wash her hair, she had to simply manage with some spray, before changing her clothes. Lin Yi''s parents were also aware of this custom, so they got up early in the morning too, while Aunt Wang and the two maternity matrons had already fed the babies and took them out to the yard for a walk. Maybe because the babies had yed non-stop the day before, they were especially tired at night, sleeping even more soundly, and didn''t wake up throughout the night. By the time the babies woke up in the morning, Aunt Wang and the two maternity matrons had been pushing the strollers, already having made several rounds in this vast courtyard! It must be said, the babies had been growing rapidly during this time, their weight and height had seen noticeable increases, with Da Bao looking even sturdier than the other two. Now whenever Lin Yi picked up Da Bao, he could distinctly feel the increased weight. He and Han Xuewei went downstairs together, as they had only moved here two or three days ago, they hadn''t had the chance to take a close look at the structure of the ce. The wedding kept them so busy that they seemed to be running around for everything. Aunt Wang greeted the newlywed couple with a smile, "Ah, if it isn''t our groom and bride, you''re up so early today." Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Preparation for Returning to School Lin Yi and Han Xuewei replied with augh, "Aunt Wang, good morning." Han Xuewei turned her head and asked, "Aunt Wang, is it just you? Where are the others?" Aunt Wang said, "Everyone has gone out to take the babies for a walk in the yard." After hearing this, Han Xuewei was somewhat uncertain and asked quietly, "Aunt Wang, ording to the custom, I am supposed to pour tea for my parents this morning. Since they aren''t here right now, should I do it at noon instead?" After hearing this, Aunt Wang replied with augh, gently shaking her head, "Ah, Vivi, the custom you''re talking about is from a long time ago. Nowadays, it''s not that troublesome. Just now your parents were saying, all you need to do today is offer some prayers to the gods. Vivi, Lin Yi, if you haven''t rested well, you can go back to sleep for a bit. I will call you when lunch is ready." Before Han Xuewei could speak, Aunt Wang added, "Also, the three babies slept really wellst night without waking up for milk. This morning, after filling their bellies, I thought I''d let you sleep in instead of waking you up early." It had to be said, the three little ones truly exhausted themselves ying yesterday and behaved quite well. They slept especially soundly on the night of their parents'' wedding, without waking at all! Not bad at all, such well-behaved little ones! Lin Yi smiled. After hearing this, Han Xuewei quickly said, "Husband, let''s go for a walk too! After all, we''ve been here for several days now and haven''t had the chance to properly explore the area." After saying this, they bade farewell to Aunt Wang and the couple walked out towards the outside. As they walked, Lin Yi said to her, "Vivi, I have a suggestion. Is it time to start weaning the baby off breast milk?" Han Xuewei, of course, was not willing and asked with confusion, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? The kids are only three months old, and the weaning you mention should wait until they are at least five months. Besides, breast milk is superior to form in many ways." But Lin Yi seriously exined, "I''ve been thinking, since we''ll need to go back to school next week, continuing to breastfeed will definitely be inconvenient. Plus, you wouldn''t want to suddenly ask for leave during ss to pump milk, right? And there''s nowhere to store the pumped milk anyway." Only then did Han Xueweie to her senses, considering his words, "You''re right, I overlooked this issue." Lin Yi was actually very thoughtful about Han Xuewei''s concerns, so he began to offer suggestions. He pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this, don''t we have an RV?" Lin Yi smiled and then said, "Our RV is equipped with a fridge, which could be really useful. You can just extract milk in our RV, and the fridge can be used for storage, so upon reflection, it''s actually quite convenient. Naturally, there are no other issues." Han Xuewei also had a moment of realization and said, "Yeah, why didn''t I think of that? Husband, that''s a great idea!" Lin Yi suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "And there''s another use for it; if we want to go on a date, we can use the RV for some private space!" Han Xuewei''s face turned red and she protested, "Hey now, you can''t do anything reckless, the school is a public ce." But Lin Yi turned it around, "I didn''t say anything though, I just meant we could kiss in the RV! The school is a public ce, so it''s not good to kiss in front of everyone." Han Xuewei pursed her lips and said, "But going to the RV could be misunderstood by others." Lin Yi embraced Han Xuewei and said with augh, "What''s there to fear, we are a legally married couple, we''ve got our marriage certificate, let them misunderstand however they like. I really don''t care." Han Xuewei had no choice but to silently pray that Lin Yi wouldn''t get up to mischief when they returned to school! The two of them arrived in the yard, and soon found the family. Mother Lin saw her son and daughter-inw and asked with a smile, "Why are you up so early? Aren''t you sleeping in today?" Lin Yi replied with a smile, "Vivi got me up toe see the babies and spend some parent-child time. I''ve been sleeping in too much these days." Having such a spacious yard at home is reallyfortable! At least there will be no annoying neighbors to disturb and ruin a good mood for the day. Mother Lin suddenly inquired, "Lin Yi, Vivi, you two are going back to school next week, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Lin Yi replied, "We are almost done with the preparations. Let''s go a day in advance tomorrow and get all the necessary paperwork sorted out." The two mothers readily agreed, "Then just go ahead and do what you need to do. Don''t worry about the babies, juste and visit when you have the time. After graduating smoothly, you cane back and look after the children with peace of mind!" Lin Yi had no other choice, as his father-inw had fully nned to retire, and besides, there were quite a few immovable properties in Xiao Chuan County. Just Han''s Private Kitchen alone had over a dozen restaurants, and he had already handed over the management of those restaurants. Although this reduced the profits he received, it was time to subtract rather than add burdens in life at an older age. Han Xuewei nodded, "I understand, Mom." In fact, Han Xuewei had some ns of her own. She hoped to make a difference in her field of expertise after graduation, so she wasn''t eager to take over her father''s restaurant. When it was noon, she asked Lin Yi, "Husband, would you consider taking over that restaurant after you graduate?" Lin Yi responded honestly, "Actually, I could consider it, as I won''t be busy with anything else in the short term. So I could learn about business by running the restaurant." After hearing this, Han Xuewei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That''s great, as long as you''re willing, I wouldn''t want to trouble you. My major is in fine arts, and after graduating, I hope to pursue development in this direction. At least for now, I''m not too keen on taking over my dad''s business. My initial dream was to hold my own art exhibition, and I want it to be on an international tform." Lin Yi himself didn''t have many ns, he believed that making money was the most important thing. If his wife had ambitions and dreams, he would definitely support her! Then, he patted his chest and said to Han Xuewei, "Vivi, you don''t need to think too much or worry too much. I will handle the restaurant, so just go ahead and pursue what you like. If you encounter any difficulties and need my help, I''ll face them with you." Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Sick ``` Just at that moment, the voice of the system echoed in Lin Yi''s mind. "Congrattions to the host forpleting the new task, reward is a ten percent share of Supreme Grade Supermarket." Upon hearing the system''s voice, Lin Yi froze in ce. He hadn''t yet figured out the things that had been given to him before, and now, the system had directly granted him thergest national chain of Supreme Grade Supermarkets. That ten percent share was no small sum. It excited Lin Yi immensely, after all, one shouldn''t say no to free money. The next day. He brought Han Xuewei with him back to their former university, and havingpleted all the necessary procedures, they walked through their old campus. Lin Yi felt quite sentimental. He really hadn''t expected to be with the once campus belle, and after being married for so long, stepping on thisnd once more still gave him a subtle feeling. Although Lin Yi felt that they were a couple that married first and fell in loveter, supposedly leading to an ordinary life like any other husband and wife, it seemed that they had grown closer and closer, bing inseparable. Now, Lin Yi walked hand in hand with Han Xuewei through the campus. They had known each other back in their university days without ever greeting one another, yet now they were a married couple, walking on this once-familiar ground, each step seemed so precious. Han Xuehui looked at the flowers and nts on campus andughed, saying, "What was your reaction when you knew I liked you?" Hearing this, Lin Yi was somewhat surprised, and with a slight frown and a curl of his lips, he said, "Thank you for liking me." His words were filled with deep affection, and Han Xuewei was visibly surprised, herplexion reddening. She didn''t respond to Lin Yi but walked ahead, and Lin Yi immediately followed her, a gentle look on his face. "I''m serious, I really didn''t expect you would like me. I was very happy. If you hadn''t liked me then, perhaps I wouldn''t have had the courage to see you!" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei seemed quite pleased with Lin Yi''s answer and began to giggle. Then the two of them went to their old cafeteria to eat. The taste was still familiar. Sitting opposite each other, many junior students who saw this scene started talking among themselves. "Isn''t that the Campus Belle sister? She''s graduating. Once she graduates, won''t our school lose its Campus Belle?" "That senior sister is really beautiful, and the guy opposite her is quite handsome too!" "A perfect match, that''s more like it." "Why do I feel like the two of them seem more like a married couple than boyfriend and girlfriend?" "How could that be! The senior sister is still so young..." People whispered among themselves, many showing expressions of surprise, but none of them would believe that Han Xuewei was married, much less a mother of three. After all, Han Xuewei still looked very much the young girl she used to be, with bright eyes and white teeth, very attractive. Lin Yi hardly touched his food. Instead, he was much more interested in watching Han Xuewei eat. She noticed it and immediately froze, her pretty face turning bright red. She tapped on Lin Yi''s hand and said, "You''re supposed to eat, why are you looking at me?" "Because you''re beautiful!" ``` Lin Yi wasn''t embarrassed at all and immediately made his stance clear; in fact, he had just overheard some idle gossip. Those people were coveting his wife, and he certainly wasn''t having it. What? You can only look from a distance! I can admire her up close! After finishing the meal, Lin Yi took Han Xuewei with him. Once in the car, Lin Yi had prepared quite a few snacks for Han Xuewei. He kept handing bag after bag of snacks to Han Xuewei, who, seeing this, was momentarily stunned. "I''m going to ss, not camping!" Han Xuewei, looking at Lin Yi''s exaggerated actions, couldn''t help but tease him. Lin Yi, hearing this, just scratched his head and said, "I''m worried you might get hungry!" It''s only a few hours of ss, but Lin Yi seemed exceptionally concerned about it, now truly worried that Han Xue might get cold or hungry, he waspletely in full-on nanny mode. Han Xuewei just smiled, casually took a pack of snacks, and left to reassure Lin Yi. In reality, she wasn''t very fond of them, but she felt a warm fuzziness knowing that Lin Yi had specifically prepared them for her. Lin Yi had sses to attend as well, but their ss times usually didn''t ovep. However, it was surprisingly coincidental that their ss end times matched up. At three in the afternoon, they both left the building together, with Lin Yi driving and Han Xuewei falling asleep in the passenger seat. The ride from school back home was not short, and it took half an hour before Lin Yi brought Han Xuewei back. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Lin Yi''s mother holding her phone in a panic, her brows deeply furrowed. Lin Yi instinctively thought something had happened. Lin Yi''s mother then turned her head, and seeing Lin Yi, her face lit up with joy, and she blurted out, "I was just about to call you when you two arrived." "Lin Yi, today I noticed something off about Da Bao''s condition. He didn''t want to eat and had a bit of diarrhea. He seemed really ufortable when he went to the bathroom, and his face was pale and ashen. I already gave him a little medicine, but I''m still very worried. Maybe we should take the child to the hospital." Hearing Lin Yi''s mother''s words, Han Xuewei immediately looked anxious. She pped her forehead as if she had just remembered something and said, "Oh no! I actually forgot this, the babies have not had a check-up or vination for nearly two months, I''ve been so busy recently that it totally slipped my mind..." Seeing Han Xuewei''s panicked expression, Lin Yi felt a bit guilty. The baby''s well-being shouldn''t just be Han Xuewei''s concern alone. He immediately patted Han Xuewei on the shoulder and said, "I was also negligent about this. Don''t me yourself; it''s nothing serious. It''s normal for kids to have a reaction or two. It''s not toote to take him for a check-up now!" Lin Yi''s words did calm Han Xuewei down a bit. Whenever it came to the baby, she would get flustered. Although she was now a mother, she still frequently worried that her carelessness might lead to some problem for the baby. "Weiwei, why don''t you make an appointment for the baby on your phone? I''ll go outside and start the car," Lin Yi said, then walked out, taking the keys with him. Han Xuewei immediately went to the room to carry the baby out, and they both got in the car. On the way, Han Xuewei was very concerned because Da Bao''splexion did not look very good. The usually lively Da Bao was especially subdued today. Upon arriving at the hospital, Lin Yi processed a series of documents and went straight to the doctor, saying, "Doctor, the child has a bit of diarrhea and has taken some medicine, but it seems that he hasn''t gotten better yet..." Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Seeing a Doctor Hearing Lin Yi''s words, the doctor directly took Da Bao into his arms. He was very professional, gently lifting Da Bao''s clothes with his hands and pressing on the baby''s belly. He said calmly, "The child probably just has a bit of indigestion; there''s some bloating in the stomach. It''s just ordinary gas. Giving the child some Potion to relieve the gas should do the trick!" "Also, withmon medications, when it''s not too severe, don''t feed them to the child. It''s better to bring the child to the hospital. Then, regarding the diet of little children, it''s best to keep it light and avoid letting them eat a lot at times and little at others, as that can easily lead to indigestion." The doctor spoke methodically, while Lin Yi made sure to remember each point. Themon knowledge that the doctor mentioned was not well understood by Han Xuewei and their partner. On normal days, they didn''t pay much attention to Da Bao''s diet; they primarily focused on making sure the child was well-fed. But the doctor indeed advised against letting the toddler eat too much; just enough was appropriate. Thinking of this, both of them felt a bit remorseful and revealed an expression of distress, realizing they had been too careless. Seeing the couple''s expression, the doctor couldn''t help but smile and said, "Ah, it''s normal for young people not to understand. You''ll gradually learn ande to understand in time." Just as the couple was about to leave, Han Xuewei seemed to remember something, turned her head back, and asked the doctor, "The child has almost missed two months of vinations; can he get them now?" "As for vinations, let''s wait until after the child has recovered," replied the doctor. Having said that, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi both bowed to the doctor, expressed their thanks, and left with the Potion that the doctor had prescribed. That night, after Da Bao had a bit of Potion, his stomach stopped acting up, hisplexion improved, and he started giggling again. He fussed around on the bed for a little while before he was willing to sleep. After Lin Yi had lulled the baby to sleep, the system sent another doctor''s notification sound. "Congrattions, Host, for feeding Da Bao to great satisfaction. As a reward, the system grants you 100,000 yuan as startup funds." Lin Yi was somewhat surprised, curved his lips slightly, and checked his mobile phone, where he indeed received a transfer message on Alipay. After putting the children to bed, Han Xuewei came to Lin Yi''s side, and they both slept soundly until morning. The next day when the two woke up, they heard amotion outside. Han Xuewei nced at Lin Yi, who also wore a puzzled look. They were still a bit groggy as they stepped out of the room, and just then, Lin Yi''s mother was excitedly shouting. "That''s wonderful, that''s wonderful, my grandson is sure to be sessful in the future!!" Hearing this, Han Xuewei was still a bit confused. Both of them looked ahead and walked into the children''s room. At that moment, Er Bao lifted his round eyes and looked at Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. The couple was still somewhat stunned and asked, "Mom, what are you showing us?" "Er Bao can roll over now!" At this news, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei''s eyes widened instantly. For them, every single detail of their child''s development was highly memorable. Er Bao was now ced on the bed, looking around with his big round eyes. Lin Yi''s mother was especially thrilled, standing beside Er Bao and pping her hands saying, "My little grandson! Keep it up, keep it up!!" Hearing this, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei couldn''t help butugh as well, walking over to Er Bao''s side and continuously cheering him on. At this moment, Er Bao''s eyes were round and wide, his little cheeks flushed red. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei both ran to the right side of the bed, continuously cheering him on. Seeing them, Er Bao too became extremely excited, pping his hands andughing, then suddenly stretching his legs, he rolled right over. He really did turn over, and upon seeing this scene, both Lin Yi and Han Xuewei excitedly embraced each other. Han Xuewei, very excited, picked Er Bao up and said with a slight smile, "You little rascal can roll over now, aren''t you clever." Lin Yi leaned toward her, gently touched Er Bao''s little head, and couldn''t help but smile softly. "Kids grow up so quickly, pretty soon he''ll be able to turn over, sit up, then walk, and talk. Step by step he''ll grow, go to elementary school, middle school, high school, university..." As Lin Yi murmured, his eyes suddenly filled with tears; he didn''t understand why he felt this way. Han Xuewei was taken aback by Lin Yi''s words, and both of them were stunned for a good while before bursting intoughter again. Indeed, the child would certainly grow up and then slowly leave them, and they would age too; it was an irreversible fact. But what of it? The important thing was to cherish the present. The present child still needed them, and they were not that mature as adults either; they were family members growing up alongside the children. Just when the family was happily chatting away, Dad Han came by; typically he was tied up untilte, and usually only stopped by in the evenings, but today he came over at noon. Seeing Dad Han, Lin Yi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Dad, has something happened?" Hearing Lin Yi''s question, Dad Han showed a look of helplessness. Recently his workload had been very heavy; after all, the hotel had just started a series of events, and the new staff all needed his attention. Dad Han sat down, his face etched with worry, and Lin Yi, sensing something amiss, sat down with him. When Dad Han sighed, Lin Yi poured him a ss of water. Dad Han then began, "I indeed encountered some troubles. My older brother has previously visited my hotel, and now he has just called saying he wants his daughter toe over here to learn!" "I was going to oppose it since his daughter studied art and it has nothing to do with hotels. I didn''t understand what he was intending to do. But he insisted, saying a non-demanding position for his daughter would suffice, you know, Han Xuemei whom you metst time." On hearing Dad Han''s words, Lin Yi remembered the Han Xuemei he met before. He simply nodded, listening silently as Dad Han continued to speak. "I always wanted to refuse; it put me in such an awkward position. But I couldn''t just fail to look after her since she is, after all, my niece." Hearing Dad Han''s words, Lin Yi could tell he was somewhat helpless and said, "Have you arranged a ce for her to stay? Upon hearing these words, Dad Han was still driving, there is amodation on the hotel side. Just let her stay there." Naturally, Dad Han could not arrange for Han Xuemei to stay here since this ce belonged to the Lin Family, and besides, Han Xuewei didn''t quite like her cousin. He, like Han Xuewei, didn''t have much liking for Han Xuemei either, for she was too scheming. At this moment, scratching his head, Dad Han spoke, "I don''t have much time tonight, how about you go there to pick her upter? It''s too busy at the hotel!" Chapter 153 Pressuring to Get Married ``` Hearing this, Lin Yi just nodded; for him, this was not a big deal. As Dad Han was about to leave, Lin Yi immediately stood up and blocked his path, saying, "Dad! Having worked so hard, you should stay and have a meal here before you go¡­" Upon hearing this, Dad Han immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, it''s really too busy over there. I''ll just have a quick bite and then I need to head over. Remember to pick up Han Xuemei." Lin Yi nodded and then saw Dad Han off before picking up his phone to make a call. Without any hesitation, Lin Yi arranged an apartment. He didn''t like the idea of Han Xue not staying at their home, especially since Han Xuemei and Han Xuewei didn''t get along. He didn''t want to cause Han Xuewei any trouble, so he had Han Xuemei stay somewhere else. At this moment, Han Xuemei was still packing her luggage. She saw the message from Dad Han on her phone that Lin Yi would pick her up, and a smile curled on her lips. Once she truly arrived at the Lin Family''s home, everything would go the way she wanted. She just hadn''t anticipated that Dad Han had no intention to let her go to the Lin Family''s home. ... Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu was also very troubled because her parents had attended Lin Yi''s wedding banquet. That segment of the video had been filmed and somehow ended up on her parents'' phones. Now that they were back, with strict household rules as usual, she had to report everything to them. So now, facing Qin Xiaoxu, the elderly couple directly asked who that boy was and if they knew him. Hearing these words made Qin Xiaoxu''s head ache. She felt extremely helpless, remembering how, when she had an early love affair as a child, her parents had also shown a gossipy demeanor. She wasn''t sure if they were interested in her love life or what, but eventually, she became resistant to such matters. But now she was no longer young, and naturally her parents very much hoped she would find someone to marry soon. But at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu felt distressed; naturally, she couldn''t possibly reveal her situation with Lin Jie. She could only attempt to exin helplessly, yet her exnations sounded so powerless in front of her parents. Even she didn''t believe them, but what else could she do? The elderly couple was very curious, moving closer to Qin Xiaoxu and directly saying, "Actually, sometimes you should take initiative, right? The young man I saw was rather decent." Hearing her parents'' concern, Qin Xiaoxu grew a bit panicked and stepped back. Her parents had no intention of letting her off the hook, continuing, "You really need to seize the opportunity. We''re worried about you. Think about your age now; you can''t always be staying at home. Yes, you should go out more often, sometimes with young men¡­" As expected, the conversation had turned back to her being single. But at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu felt utterly helpless, and then stood up, "You both just rest assured, I absolutely won''t have trouble finding someone to marry, no more questions!" The elderly couple was still unwilling to give up and immediately responded, "If you know you won''t have trouble getting married, you should be more confident and take a direct approach." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was even more at a loss, and she patted her head before escaping to her room. ``` "This child really knows how to dodge the topic every time it''s brought up¡­" The Qin family''s parents were worried that Qin Xiaoxu was too naive and could be deceived by others, considering how strictly they had raised her from childhood. As a result, Qin Xiaoxu''s social circle had be very small; she hardly interacted with boys outside, and over time, developed a tendency to keep to herself. ¡­ When Lin Yi went to pick up Han Xuemei, she was dressed very elegantly. Her outfit was quite bold and avant-garde, and she stood by the roadside with a suitcase in tow. As Lin Yi drove up to her, Han Xuemei waved at him and shed an enchanting smile, saying quite openly, "Brother-inw, you''ve finally arrived." As she spoke, Han Xuemei went directly to the passenger seat and took a seat, prompting a clear look of displeasure from Lin Yi. Moreover, Han Xuemei was trying too hard to cozy up to him. Lin Yi felt they were not very close, yet Han Xuemei acted as though they were very intimate, which only increased his aversion. Lin Yi didn''t respond to her, simply driving in silence, but Han Xuemei was very keen on starting a conversation. She talked on and on by herself. However, Han Xuemei''s words did not catch Lin Yi''s attention at all. He had no intention of engaging with her, leaving her somewhat helpless until she mentioned Han Xuewei and the children. It was only then that Lin Yi would asionally respond with a word or two. But Han Xuemei was obviously very eager and couldn''t wait to build a good rtionship with Lin Yi, so she chattered nonstop throughout the ride. Lin Yi, finding it annoying, finally spoke up coldly, "Sorry, I''m driving. Can you just be quiet for a while!" Lin Yi said coolly. Hearing this, Han Xuemei froze in ce, fumbling with her phone, her head bowed in embarrassment. But soon, as if she had found another topic, Han Xuemei reached for her bag and said, "Brother-inw, I spent a long time at the mall, picked out lots of gifts for the little ones. We can bring them over to y with, they''ll definitely be happy." Lin Yi nced at her impassively and shook his head, "There''s no need to buy anything. I''ll take you straight to the apartment. The conditions and amenities there are very good; you can stay there for now." At these words, Han Xuemei showed a look of surprise, nearly dropping her phone, her eyes fixed on Lin Yi as she asked, "Brother-inw, aren''t we going back to your house?" Hearing this, Lin Yi just frowned and didn''t look directly at her. He spoke his mind bluntly, "No! It''s the same if you stay at the apartment. I think it''s inappropriate and inconvenient for you to stay at our house." Lin Yi said outright, his voice cold, as if he was not inclined to spare Han Xuemei''s feelings. Instantly, Han Xuemei''s expression froze, unsure whether to keep looking at her phone or respond to Lin Yi''s curt words. In a moment, an awkward silence fell between the two, but while Lin Yi seemed indifferent, Han Xuemei was visibly anxious. Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Shocked Han Xuemei had thought that Lin Yi would at least take her to their family home to stay, seeing as Han Xuewei was also there, and it seemed quite reasonable for her, as the younger sister, to go there. But what she hadn''t expected was that Lin Yi didn''t give her any face at all, he tly refused and even said that he had found an apartment for her! What could she say at that point? When someone says it''s inconvenient, what more could she say? Moreover, it wasn''t like she had nowhere to stay, so his exnation was even more awkward. Lin Yi seemed to see her difort and spoke directly, "Don''t worry, the apartment I''ve arranged for you is in great condition, with all the facilities you need. If there''s anything else you need, I can get it for you, and you don''t have to worry about the rent or utilities, I''ve already paid them in advance." Lin Yi spoke indifferently, his aim was to leave Han Xuemei with no excuse to wriggle out of this situation. But Han Xuemei''s face turned very grim, her purpose foring here was to move into the Lin Family home, and now being told to live in an apartment, why did she even bothering? So Han Xuemei immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "Actually, that''s not what I was thinking. I wanted to go to your family home mainly because there are more people, and I''d be very scared living alone in an apartment." Hearing this, Lin Yi just smiled faintly and replied. "The security over there is very strict, they patrol each building thoroughly, and I can hire someone to protect you expressly. The quality conditions are top-notch, there''s really no need for such worries." Lin Yi continued indifferently, and Han Xuemei was instantly petrified. She knew that wasn''t what he meant, but naturally, Lin Yi wouldn''t let her have her way, just coldly watching her. Han Xuemei was far too scheming, having mapped out her n from the start. Her motives were certainly not innocent, so Lin Yi would never let her stay close to him. Moreover, having such a woman around would make Han Xuewei jealous, not to mention he simply didn''t like Han Xuemei that much. Throughout the trip, Lin Yi had fulfilled whatever requests Han Xuemei made, but his one stiption was that she must not enter the Lin Family household. There really was nothing she could do, and neither spoke again for the rest of the journey. Soon, Lin Yi drove Han Xuemei to the hotel, where he stopped the car and told Han Xuemei to take out her luggage. But Dad Han also came out from the first floor of the hotel, and when he saw Han Xuemei and Lin Yi, he greeted them. Han Xuemei, inherently very good at ingratiating herself with others. Upon seeing Dad Han, she immediately called out sweetly, "Uncle," while Lin Yi just nodded his head. "Xue Mei, if you have any problems here, you can ask Lin Yi. He''s quite familiar with everything around here!" Dad Han said, and Lin Yi nodded before saying, "I''ve already found her an apartment nearby, she can move in right away." Lin Yi exchanged a few more pleasantries with Dad Han, at that moment Han Xuemei''s expression was particrly ugly. If not for her desire to get close to Lin Yi and enter the Lin Family home, why would she havee to work in this shoddy hotel? She had never done such menialbor in her life, and now it had backfired. Lin Yi nced at her from the corner of his eye, not knowing what Han Xuemei''s ultimate purpose was, but as a woman with such deep schemes, he naturally didn''t want to interact with her much. Lin Yi made a phone call and asked the manager toe down. The manager was somewhat embarrassed when he arrived because he waste, but Lin Yi didn''t me him, he just instructed him on a few things and asked him to lead Han Xuemei to the apartment where he was staying. Han Xuemei originally wanted to continue exploring the apartment with Lin Yi, to understand the various construction materials. In truth, she wanted to take the opportunity to spend some alone time with him. But Lin Yi instantly refused, simply shaking his head as he said, "I need to go buy some daily necessities for the kids!" Speaking indifferently, the manager immediately understood Lin Yi probably wanted to get rid of this woman. So, he immediately put on a professional smile and said, "Miss Han, I''m in charge here! If you have any questions, you can call me. Here''s my business card." After saying this, he handed a business card to Han Xuemei, whose expression was very unpleasant as she directly took the card, looking in the direction where Lin Yi had left. However, when Han Xuemei carefully read thepany name on the business card, she was struck dumb on the spot, frowning as she blurted out, "My brother-inw is the owner here??" Howe she had never heard Han Xuewei mention this building to her? What in the world was going on? Seeing Han Xuemei''s shocked expression, the manager just nodded calmly. He assumed Lin Yi preferred to keep a low profile and thus hadn''t revealed his assets to outsiders. But at that moment, Han Xuemei waspletely stunned in ce, and the manager did not continue to discuss the matter. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Miss Han, since you havee to our ce, we will naturally provide you with excellent service. If there''s anythingcking in your apartment, be sure to tell me right away; just a phone call will do. I will have it sent over to you." Han Xuemei stood there dazed, not listening to what the manager was saying to her. Since her brother-inw was the owner of this building, he must be very wealthy, for this building was an incredibly valuable property. Han Xuemei''s expression was one of utter amazement at the revtion. Previously, she knew that Lin Yi''s family was well-off and that they owned severalpanies, but she had never imagined that Lin Yi was connected to this building, which surprised her even more. Yet Han Xuewei was her cousin, so why hadn''t she mentioned this before? Could it be that Han Xuewei herself did not know? At that moment, Han Xuemei''s heart was racing with excitement. She had not expected Lin Yi to be such a wealthy person. Before, she only knew that Lin Yi came from afortably off family, but she had never imagined that he could afford such an expensive building. Soon, Han Xuemei arrived at the apartment and was startled by the scene before her. The apartment, which could well be described as a vi, had an incredibly pleasant environment, and the living conditions and space were spacious. The equipment was also veryplete, so much so that she couldn''t even find any fault. At that moment, the manager stood aside Han Xuemei, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Han, if there''s anything you need, please let me know." Seeing how exquisite and luxurious the ce was, Han Xuemei realized she didn''t need anything and waved her hand, saying, "No need." Han Xuemei''s attitude was very cold. This apartment had been arranged by Lin Yi, but at this moment, she acted as if it belonged to her, with a manner that seemed to rush people off. Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Da Bao Grows Up After leaving the building, Lin Yi went straight to the hotel operated by his father-inw. The first floor of the hotel was decorated like a restaurant, where many guests came to dine. Lin Yi didn''t want to get involved with a woman like Han Xui, so he didn''t linger and quickly returned home. It was only after he got back that he realized his family hadn''t eaten yet, probably waiting for him. Lin Yi''s mother came straight up to him and said, "Lin Yi, why are you back sote today? Didn''t you go to drop off Vivi''s cousin? Why did it take so long!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi replied, "Mom, I''ve already found her an apartment. She''s staying over there, and it will be very convenient for her to go to the hotel from there." After hearing his reply, Lin Yi''s mother nodded and didn''t say much more. At this time, Lin Yi went upstairs, ready to call Han Xuewei down for dinner. It was only when he reached the top of the stairs that he saw Han Xuewei arranging their wedding photos. She was meticulously sorting them one by one, and when she heard the door open, Han Xuewei turned her head, and Lin Yi was standing in front of her. He walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you doing?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei just gave a faint smile and said, "I''m almost done with our photos from before. I''m thinking of hanging them up. Do you think it''s a good idea to hang them in the middle above our bed?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded and said, "Let''s go downstairs to eat first, andter I''ll help you hang them." After saying this, Han Xuewei nodded, and after dinner, the two of them went to y with Da Bao and Er Bao. The little one was asleep at this time, very well-behaved. Lin Yi picked up Da Bao, preparing to bathe him, and at that moment, little Da Bao wasughing joyfully. Lin Yi grabbed Da Bao''s little arms and burst intoughter. "This little guy''s arms are just like lotus roots, joint by joint." Hearing Lin Yi describe it like that, Han Xueweiughed out loud, happily watching Lin Yi. Both of them were bathing the children, and Da Bao was enjoying the bubbles in the bathtub, his eyes bright and adorable, always staring at Lin Yi. Lin Yi handed a bottle of warm milk to Da Bao, and upon seeing the bottle, Da Bao''s expression immediately lit up with joy, his little hands reaching out to grab it. But Lin Yi did not give it to him directly, and Da Bao''s mouth turned down in frustration, about to cry. Lin Yi just shook his head and said, "Da Bao, you can''t cry, okay? If you cry, I won''t give it to you." It was as if Da Bao understood, looking pitiful, his little red face still reaching out for the milk bottle in Lin Yi''s hand, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn''t get it. Da Bao turned to look at Han Xuewei, who just chuckled. At that moment, Han Xuewei was arranging Er Bao''s clothes and handed the milk bottle to Er Bao. Er Bao started drinking, and seeing Er Bao with the bottle made Da Bao even more upset, and he burst into tears with a loud wail. Seeing Da Bao like this, Lin Yi shook his head but still seriously holding his own bottle said, "As an older brother, you need to be an example for your brother and sister. You''re already a little man. If you listen to daddy and manage to roll over, I will definitely give it to you!" Lin Yi coaxed, pointing to the bottle, and Han Xuewei, hearing this, also smiled and nodded. She moved closer to Lin Yi and said, "Da Bao, you need to be good. You need to learn to roll over like Er Bao. Once you can roll over, mommy will feed you right away, and we won''t drink from the bottle in daddy''s hand anymore." With a mix of coaxing and trickery, Da Bao''s eyes lit up with yearning when he heard Han Xuewei say she was going to nurse him. He was initially upset, but now started to cheer up, wiggling his little bottom, fluttering his legs non-stop, trying to turn over. But just as he lifted up a bit, just as he inclined a little, he fell back down again. Seeing this, both Lin Yi and Han Xuewei looked resolutely at Da Bao and said, "Don''t be discouraged, Da Bao! You''re almost there, you can do it!" Er Bao was also standing by, looking dazedly at Da Bao''s great effort, tensing his arms and legs. Lin Yi found this scene very exciting. He had never thought children could be so amusing and immediately grabbed his phone to record the scene. "Thump!!" Finally, Da Bao''s legs thrust hard, and his whole body flipped over. Lin Yi eximed in surprise, while Han Xuewei immediately scooped up Er Bao. Da Bao seemed to feel the joy of victory, constantly pping his soft hands, his eyes brimming with delight. But at that moment, seeing Han Xuewei pick up Er Bao, Da Bao stood frozen on the spot, babbling as if he wereining. Hearing this, Han Xueweiughed and exined, "Don''t worry, Da Bao. Mommy is just bringing your little brother over here. I''m still going to nurse you." Hearing this, Da Bao finally showed a happy expression, while Lin Yi watched. The system''s voice then sounded. "Congrattions to the host for increasing intimacy with the baby. You have been rewarded with one hundred thousand yuan." Hearing this system message, Lin Yi was visibly delighted and curved his lips into a smirk. Han Xuewei put down Er Bao and reached out to Da Bao, who eagerly crawled over to her. And as Lin Yi''s mother chatted animatedly in the family group chat, Lin Yi shared the video of Da Bao finally rxing to the family group, causing everyone to erupt with excitement¡ªDa Bao was just too cute. After finally getting the babies to sleep, Lin Yi went back into Han Xuewei''s room. Therge photos were still hanging, and Lin Yi prepared to get busy with them. Han Xuewei came over, intending to help, but Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Go take a shower first, you''ve also been tired all day. Leave these little tasks to me." Hearing this, Han Xuewei felt a sweetness in her heart, she walked up to Lin Yi and raised her face to give a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth. Lin Yi turned his head too, gently returning the kiss. Then, Han Xuewei entered the bathroom, and after a while, she called out, "Honey, I think I forgot to bring clothes. Can you get them for me?" Hearing this, Lin Yi took a bathrobe from the closet and handed it to Han Xuewei. When Han Xuewei received the bathrobe, she paused slightly and said, "Why did you only give me a bathrobe? What about my underwear?" Hearing this, Lin Yi just smiled slightly, and Han Xuewei, understanding his intention, blushed deeply, quickly pulled the bathrobe inside, and stopped talking to Lin Yi. Chapter 156 Do you like it or not? Qin Xiaoxu had recently decided not to live at home anymore, as her parents were always nagging, and she had no choice but to move to an apartment closer to thepany. Being a homebody, she went to the supermarket and bought a bunch of snacks, nning to rest well at home. Days with snacks and games to y were, for her, simply too blissful. However, she was too tired yesterday, so she decided to get some catch-up sleep today. After just over an hour of sleep, she heard a familiar ringtone¡ªher phone was ringing. She was still groggy, reached for her phone, and upon seeing the messages that came in, her expression immediately soured. This person is like a persistent ghost, disturbing her even when she''s trying to rest. Qin Xiaoxu had already seen the callout on the screen. "You there? You there?" Five consecutive messages, all "You there?" Just seeing the words "You there?" made Qin Xiaoxu feel irritable, thinking that only people with low EQ would send such a message. If she were there, she would have replied on her own. If there''s something to say, just say it. Why does one always need to ask if she''s there?! Qin Xiaoxu was a bit agitated, seeing that the name above was Lin Jie. She quickly typed a response of "Here" on the screen. The moment he saw her response, he immediately sent three more words: "Get online now." Qin Xiaoxu saw these three words and replied indifferently. "I''m jobless now, not in the mood for this!" Qin Xiaoxu said tly, still troubled by her inability to find a job. But at that moment, Lin Jie was stupefied by her message; he didn''t understand, after all, he was still in college, a time without much worry. And the greatest concern in college was about finding a job afterward, but he never considered the possibility of unemployment. So, he couldn''t understand Qin Xiaona, and he really wanted to y games now; Qin Xiaoxu was the perfect gaming partner for him, so he immediately sent another message. Qin Xiaoxu nced at the message and was immediately three degrees hotter with anger. This guy was truly too exasperating for her, suggesting that if she was jobless, she should just hurry up and find a job¡ªas if it wasn''t a big deal hearing such words. Qin Xiaoxu felt like she was so angry she could spit blood. Was it so easy to find a job just by hurrying to look for one? Could she just find the right one by looking? Was it that simple? Greatly annoyed, Qin Xiaoxu''s fingers rapidly typed a long string of text on the screen. Lin Jie was stunned when he saw the barrage of words. He was somewhat taken aback, not having prepared a good response, but upon seeing another message from Qin Xiaoxu with an acid tone, he replied. "Go y with all those girls you like!" Hearing this, Lin Jie, a straightforward guy, thought there was a turn of events, allowing him to skip the previous message and respond directly to this one. He immediately typed a reply. "Where on my phone are there other girls? Besides, other girls are too noobish in games; I think it''s better if you just y with me!" Lin Jie didn''t realize anything inappropriate in what he said, and Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat taken aback by his message, but what surprised her even more was that Lin Jie''s phone indeed didn''t have any other girls. Qin Xiaoxu continued chatting with Lin Jie for a bit, but she was quickly shocked by his insensitivity. He didn''t know how tofort her when she was so upset, only knowing to urge her to join him in gaming. Qin Xiaoxu was getting annoyed; she stopped replying to Lin Jie''s messages and opened up her phone to order some takeaway. She normally didn''t cook when at home, and when outside, takeaway was her only option. Meanwhile, Lin Jie was utterly confused. He looked at his phone, having sent numerous messages, but Qin Xiaoxu hadn''t replied to a single one. What was up with her today? Was it just because she lost her job? Was that why she was ignoring him? Hearing Lin Jie''s words, his buddy Zhao Xin couldn''t help but give Lin Jie a look of astonishment. "Dude, you really don''t get it! The girl lost her job; you could at leastfort her a bit, and instead, youin about her not paying attention to you." Zhao Xin walked up to Lin Jie, took a look at the chat history on his phone, and was immediately shocked. "What the hell are you talking with her about? Can''t you think of anything besides games?" Zhao Xin showed a helpless smile, and upon hearing this, Lin Jie naturally responded, "I''m still studying, and I''m not the one looking for a job. Besides, if she lost her job, she can just find a new one¡ªit''s not a big deal. She''s going to drop ranks in the game if she doesn''t y soon." Hearing this, Zhao Xin was pretty much speechless, only shaking his head and saying, "You really are a hopeless case of a ''steel straight man''!" Lin Jie, feeling slightly dissatisfied, furrowed his brows and replied, "Don''t talk about me like that; I don''t think I am." He understood emotions between men and women; it''s just that his mind was more focused on games, which is why he didn''t pay much attention. But he was still interested in women. Seeing Lin Jie''s troubled expression, Zhao Xin asked, "What do you feel towards that girl in the game, Qin Xiaoxu? Do you have feelings for her, like, actually like her?" Upon hearing that, Lin Jie pondered for quite some time, unsure about this ''liking'' feeling Zhao Xin was referring to, and could only say, "She''s really good at gaming, we have synergy when we y together, and she has a nice personality, someone I can chat with." Zhao Xin nodded, thinking since Lin Jie said they got along, it must mean he liked her quite a bit. So, he said, "Then you must have feelings for her, feelings like, you know, being thrilled by her, paying a lot of attention to everything about her, really enjoying being with her." Zhao Xin earnestly tried to describe the feeling because he feared that Lin Jie, this hopeless straight man, might not even grasp that kind of emotion. Lin Jie thought for a long while without saying anything, leading Zhao Xin to continue, "So, when ying with other girls versus ying with Qin Xiaoxu, who do you think is better?" At this, Lin Jie frowned and said, "Of course Qin Xiaoxu is better. The other girls I yed with were so terrible; I''d lose every game with them, and I couldn''t even scold them. If I did, they''d get mad at me. I was really..." He had gonepletely off-topic again. Zhao Xin was a bit exasperated, only able to say, "Is that really all you care about? Or do you think Qin Xiaoxu is interested in you, that she might really have feelings for you, or that you feel differently about herpared to others?" Zhao Xin was trying hard to steer the conversation back on track. Lin Jie knitted his brows upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "How could that be? My feelings towards Qin Xiaoxu are different from those towards other girls, but that doesn''t mean she likes me or that I like her." Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Straight Mans Speech Lin Jie had indeed mentioned to Qin Xiaoxu before that he wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend to deal with some things, but it couldn''t be that Qin Xiaoxu had agreed to it just by acting along now, right? That would be too unimaginable! However, he had also seen Qin Xiaoxu ying with other guys before, and he really felt somewhat indignant about it. Meanwhile, Zhao Xin kept on analyzing Qin Xiaoxu''s attitude toward him to Lin Jie without pausing. The hot and cold behavior he described was just Qin Xiaoxu ying hard to get. If she yed games with guys, she was just trying to make him jealous. In short, he just felt that Qin Xiaoxu was interested in him. Lin Jie showed a look of astonishment upon hearing these words and eventually shook his head. He wasn''t brainless and incapable of thought, he could inly feel that Qin Xiaoxu indeed didn''t have much of a feeling toward him. But with Zhao Xin saying this, considering his many years of dating experience, there seemed to be some truth in it, so he silently took note in his heart, just in case Qin Xiaoxu really did like him. It wouldn''t be bad, then he could continue ying games with her. If Qin Xiaoxu knew what Lin Jie was thinking, she''d probably be so angry she''d cough up blood and die. Zhao Xin was looking at Lin Jie with great interest while Lin Jie looked extremely indifferent. Zhao Xin couldn''t help but kick him and said, "You can''t keep being so clueless all the time. You should at least get a girlfriend during your college years." Upon hearing this, Lin Jie turned his head back, shaking it like a rattle-drum and said directly, "I''m still studying now; I don''t want to think about these things. Moreover, today Qin Xiaoxu made it very clear to me. She said if she''s out of work or out of love, she''ll stop bothering with me. It''s evident she has no interest in me. If she were into me, she''d at least pay some attention to what I want!" Zhao Xin felt like picking up a shoe horn and smacking Lin Jie across the face. Here was a girl who came to Lin Jie for sce after losing her job, and this guy was still talking as if it was none of his concern; he really was a fool. "Haven''t you ever considered how serious being unemployed is for her? You should learn to offerfort!" Hearing this, Lin Jie nodded and immediately picked up his phone to search how tofort someone. Seeing Lin Jie''s action, Zhao Xin was somewhat surprised, but still felt a sense of achievement inside. If Lin Jie was willing to learn how to love someone like this, it showed that Qin Xiaoxu was different from other girls in his heart. After Qin Xiaoxu finished her takeaway, she saw that she had received quite a few messages on her phone, with Lin Jie inviting her to y games again. She was already feeling irritable, and seeing Lin Jie''s invite to y games ignited her fury. She was about to say something in response, when Zhao Xin at her side started giving Lin Jie tips, speaking for a while tofort Qin Xiaoxu. Qin Xiaoxu showed a look of astonishment upon hearing these words. She had not expected Lin Jie to be somewhat different today. Although she had easily taken a fancy to some inte celebrities in the past, the feeling Lin Jie gave her was different from the others. He exuded a very clear sense of authenticity, while after all, people on the inte are wrapped in a veneer, often deliberately pretending, but Lin Jie was entirely sincere. At this time, Qin Xiaoxu also felt a bit bored and couldn''t help but open the game and ept Lin Jie''s invitation; they started ying together. After ying for a while, Zhao Xin looked at Lin Jie and thought that since Lin Jie enjoyed gaming so much, it might be feasible to make a move in this area. He spoke up, "Actually, you could try forming a couple rtionship with her in the game. That way, you can always y together, and it''ll be so much more fun when you log in,pletely different from the way you yed before." Hearing that this way of ying waspletely different from before, Lin Jie''s face immediately lit up with excitement. If that was the case, it would indeed be quite interesting; he had grown somewhat tired of the same old approach, so he excitedly sent out his idea. When Qin Xiaoxu heard this, she originally had no intention of forming a couple rtionship with anyone, but then she received the invitation and was immediately delighted, replying right away, "Let''s pair up now!" Seeing Qin Xiaoxu''s reaction, Lin Jie was also taken aback. He hadn''t expected Qin Xiaoxu to agree so quickly to forming a CP, which came as a huge surprise to him. After ying a round, Lin Jie found it very entertaining, since in the game their names were extremely affectionate, and they received a lot of attention from everyone within the game. Every time Qin Xiaoxu was in danger, Lin Jie would quicklye to her rescue, and in the game, they were just like a sweet couple. After the game ended, Lin Jie sent Qin Xiaoxu a message, starting with, "You''ve been unemployedtely, you must have a lot of free time, why don''t youe meet my parents!" Hearing Lin Jie''s words, Qin Xiaoxu''s brow immediately furrowed; why on earth should she decently go meet Lin Jie''s parents? Plus, their rtionship was just a pretend couple, and every time she met his parents, she felt extremely awkward. So at this point, she was hesitant, but considering Lin Jie came from a wealthy family and she was not so affluent herself, she figured she could well wring out a substantial amount from him. That way, even if she was unemployed and not working, she could support herself, so she directly replied with a message, "If I go see your parents with you, what''s in it for me?" Hearing this, Lin Jie calmly typed out a few words on his phone, "If you go with me, buy whatever you want." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was a bit astonished, and couldn''t help but think mischievously as she said, "What if I want to buy a car, or if I want expensive handbags, or even a house?" Qin Xiaoxu sent these messages just to test Lin Jie, who thought for a moment before replying with a message. "Anything within a few hundred thousand I can give you, but if you want a house or a car, then you might have to marry me." Although Lin Jie said this with the utmost calm, Qin Xiaoxu now found his remark not so straightforward, but rather intriguing; she replied, "Well, in that case, that would be fantastic!" Qin Xiaoxu was very excited at the moment; a man willing to spend money on her ¨C how could she possibly refuse? Furthermore, the condition was simply to meet the parents. She had already set her eyes on numerous luxury items and wanted to truly indulge herself. Besides, Lin Jie''s parents were not short on funds; they were always urging him to find a girlfriend, and they would certainly not skimp on the money to buy his girlfriend gifts. They would at least provide him a few hundred thousand as startup funds. Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Vaccination Actually, Lin Jie''s parents were also at a loss, because Lin Jie had always been somewhat of a loner since he was young and liked ying video games a lot. He showed no interest in the outside world, and his parents once suspected that he might be someone who liked boys instead of girls. Since he only yed with boys, Father Lin and Mother Lin were extremely worried, butter on, they heard that there could be a gicponent to it. However, Lin Jie never showed any such tendencies, so they were both relieved. But as Lin Jie entered university, he was still alone, which made them very concerned. If Lin Jie truly had no intention of dating, would he just lead a life in solitude until he grew old? Pity the anxiety of parents worldwide regarding their child''s lifetime happiness¡ªthey were still extremely anxious about it. Moreover, someone like Lin Jie would be called a "homebody" by the young people outside, and his parents would be overjoyed to hear that he was buying gifts for a girl, so Lin Jie was confident that he could certainly get a good amount of money from them. Qin Xiaoxu had recently lost her job and was surprised that Lin Jie was willing to spend money for her. If the price was so small, she was definitely willing to do it, so she was very happy. She agreed right away and said they should meet for a meal together the next day. ... Lin Yi had noticed that Da Bao had been doing much bettertely, and he remembered mentioning vinations to him before. He directly said to Han Xuewei, "We talked about the vines before, it''s time to schedule that now. Since there''s nothing going on today, let''s take them to get vinated." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately nodded and walked into the next room. "You''re right, my memory is indeed terrible, I almost forgot about this. I''ll make an appointment for the babies now, maybe for tomorrow morning? After all, they have to go back to school today, and it takes a long time. Tomorrow is the weekend; we can take them to get vinated and buy some school supplies!" Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded as well. He thought Lin Xuewei''s suggestion made a lot of sense, so they decided to wait until tomorrow. The weather wasn''t very good today anyway, and they nned ordingly. Han Xuewei immediately returned to the children''s room to y with the babies. Then the next morning, Lin Yi got up early and prepared breakfast for the family. Han Xuewei had wanted to get up and prepare breakfast for everyone but was surprised to find that Lin Yi had appeared earlier than her, showing a look of astonishment. "Howe you got up so early to make breakfast for everyone!" When Lin Yi heard this, he looked up at her and said, "You''ve been working hardtely, it''s only right for me to get up and make breakfast for everyone. You can go back and be with the babies first, it won''t be long until we eat." Han Xuewei felt touched and stood on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately turned his head and pecked her on the cheek, their affectionate gestures seen by Mother Lin who had walked over. Mother Lin, seeing how affectionate the young couple were, immediately covered her mouth with a chuckle, moved to the side, but Lin Yi still noticed her. His expression, however, was quite calm. Just that Han Xuewei felt a bit shy and quickly went back to the room to be with the children. After breakfast, Lin Yi drove Han Xuewei and the others out. He had even specially prepared a stroller that could fit all three children. So when they went out with that eye-catching vehicle, they instantly became the focus of the entire neighborhood. The surrounding people all looked at this scene with great astonishment, and although it was very warm, it still seemed miraculous because the ones sitting inside the stroller were three adorable babies. At this moment, Da Bao was sleeping, while Er Bao and Mengmeng were ying beside him. Er Bao was drooling and continuously patting with his little hands. He had never been afraid of strangers; on the contrary, when he saw strangers, he would even greet them. The people around them found this scene very wonderful and could not help but exim one after another. "Those three children are simply too cute, especially that little girl; she''s truly exquisite!" "You''re right! Haven''t you seen their parents? Their parents are so attractive; it''s normal for the children to be good-looking too. But these are triplets! The expenses for triplets must be pretty substantial, right?" "It seems only a well-off family could afford to raise three children!" People discussed, but more than anything, they were curious and amazed by the triplets. However, at this time, Lin Yi didn''t care about their words; he put the babies into the car and then headed towards the hospital. He drove slowly because he was afraid the babies weren''t ustomed to riding, but fortunately, the distance between the hospital and their home was not long, so they quickly arrived at the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Lin Yi pushing the three babies still attracted the attention of a crowd of doctors and nurses, who all showed surprised expressions. Many doctors particrly loved children and kept greeting the three babies. Er Bao and Mengmeng, being very active, even responded to those who greeted them, waving their chubby little hands, while Da Bao was sound asleep. On their previous visit for vinations, the doctors had told them that a check-up was necessary before getting the shots. So first, Lin Yi took the three babies into the examination room ahead of time, where they were received by a nurse in a graceful uniform, gentle and elegant. When she saw the three adorable babies, her face instantly showed delight, and after touching their faces with her hand, she ced the babies on the bed and began some simple examination procedures. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei both watched the nurse nervously, their faces full of tension, surprising the nurse with their expressions. "Family members, you can rx at any time. Children''s check-ups are very simple examinations; there won''t be any risk!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei both felt a bit embarrassed and stepped aside. By then, Da Bao had vaguely finished several examination items and was very cooperative,pleting the check-up in an instant. Er Bao was somewhat difficult to handle and took a good while to finish his check-up. Afterward, the nurse turned her attention to Mengmeng and upon seeing her, she couldn''t help but sigh, "It''s been a long time since I''ve seen such a cute baby, with such long eyshes and an incredibly delicate appearance!" Mengmeng immediately won the favor of the nurse. Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Completed Physical Examination "Mengmeng, you need to behave, and your check-up will be over soon!" Han Xuewei said as she held Mengmeng in front of the nurse, but this time Mengmeng was quite resistant to being held by the nurse. So she pouted and struggled, with the nurse somewhat helpless, she had no choice but to gently pat her on the shoulder, trying to be as gentle as possible. Then, she took the equipment and approached Mengmeng. Mengmeng grew nervous at the sight of the equipment and wouldn''t budge from her spot. Lin Yi walked up to her and carefully spoke to her for a while. Mengmeng seemed to half understand, and taking advantage of this moment, the nurse took the opportunity to check Mengmeng. At first, Mengmeng didn''t want to cooperate, but as she became more confused, she naturally went through with the check-up. After the three babies hadpleted their check-ups, Lin Yi took them to get their vinations. The vinations were to be administered by a male doctor. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately frowned, he was worried that if the male doctor wasn''t skilled, it would be troublesome if the babies cried. Seeing Lin Yi''s concerned expression, Han Xuewei immediately spoke in a calm voice, "I think you''re overthinking it. Actually, male doctors are no worse than female doctors in technique, and crying is pretty much inevitable with vinations. Just rx. You definitely cried when you got vinated as a child!" Lin Yi was taken aback by Han Xuewei''s words. Turning to look at Han Xuewei, she was simply holding Da Bao in her arms, sitting in front of the doctor. The doctor started wiping with alcohol cotton. Da Bao''s chubby arm seemed to sense something and stared straight at Lin Yi. The doctor immediately squatted in front of the baby, pressing down on Da Bao''s chubby arm. Da Bao''s brow furrowed immediately, showing an uneasy expression. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately soothed him, constantly distracting him. The doctor, seeing this, swiftly injected the needle into Da Bao''s arm and, as expected, Da Bao cried out with a "waah," and Lin Yi''s hands were immediately filled with tears. He patted Da Bao''s back somewhat helplessly and lifted him up, pressing the cotton on Da Bao''s arm. Da Bao cried for a long time, exhausting Lin Yi''s hands a bit, but eventually Da Bao cried himself to sleep. Lin Yi ced Da Bao on the stroller, then saw Mengmeng eyeing him with a cunning gaze, seemingly aware of what was toe, and immediately showing an unhappy face. Lin Yi was a bit helpless. This little girl was just too clever. Meanwhile, Er Bao had been vinated, and he cried loudly just like Da Bao. Han Xuewei wasforting Er Bao at that time, and Lin Yi didn''t want to dy the people behind him in line for vinations, so he immediately picked up Mengmeng. Mengmeng was visibly upset when picked up; she wanted to struggle, but was powerless in Lin Yi''s arms, shrinking into his embrace. Lin Yi sat down in front of the doctor, who was surprised upon seeing Mengmeng. He had seen many children before, but it was the first time he had encountered a child as adorable as Mengmeng, who looked like a porcin doll. The doctor felt a bit heartbroken and started moving more gently. Yet, when he wiped Mengmeng''s arm with the alcohol, Mengmeng began to tremble, and Lin Yi immediately rubbed her head, gentlyforting her by her side. But none of it worked; Mengmeng was still very nervous, and it took quite a while before her emotions were calmed down. The doctor could not dy any longer and decisively stuck the needle in. Mengmeng pursed her lips, her face looking as if she was about to cry but no tears came out. Lin Yi thought she was holding back her tears, but the next second, Mengmeng burst into loud wails. Crying with her little face all red, Lin Yi held her in his arms, soothing her for a while before cing her back into the stroller. Perhaps tired from crying, shey down in the stroller and fell asleep after a short while. Lin Yi left the hospital with the babies and they headed towards the parking spot to put the little ones in the car. The car was very spacious, making it easy for the babies to get in, and it drove smoothly. Although there were many sharp stops required on the way, the ride was very stable. Because the car performed well, riding in it was exceedingly stable. Han Xuewei originally didn''t want the children to be jostled too much and thought about holding them, but she couldn''t manage all three, so she gave up on that idea. Lin Yi was driving very slowly at this point. He was worried about the car jolting when braking, so he kept his speed extremely low. The family of five thus made their unhurried way home. At this time, Han Xuemei was already waiting outside the hotel; what she needed to do was to gain the affection and trust of Dad Han. She had to prove herself, for it would make Dad Han pay more attention to her, and she would have a higher status in his eyes. Moreover, she hoped to take full control of the hotel, so everyone would submit to her and follow her arrangements. Then, Lin Yi would see her capability and have a better impression of her. She wanted to prove she was far superior to Han Xuewei. Even if she couldn''t gain Lin Yi''s approval, it didn''t matter. She would take the hotel by leveraging her connections. The Han family wouldn''t be able to do anything about her then. She was simply jealous of Han Xuewei and didn''t want Han Xuewei to have more advantages than her. Deep down, she knew that Han Xuewei and her family were kind and had never wronged her. She resented that her own father was not ambitious, while her uncle had distinguished himself. She couldn''t ept that Han Xuewei was always a step ahead of her; it bothered her greatly. In in terms, it was naked jealousy. But Dad Han was very generous; hearing that she wanted to help at the hotel, he arranged for her the easiest position. Although she resented it, she was not about to turn down taking advantage of a kindhearted person''s offer. However, Dad Han had a different perspective. After all, since Han Xuemei was Han Xuewei''s cousin, family meant she should be looked after. Having one more person to help was a good thing, especially a rtive¡ªit was even more reassuring. But little did Dad Han know, he was inviting a wolf into the fold. Han Xuemei had no good intentions; she had already nned everything meticulously. Han Xuemei had long coveted the Han family''s assets. Initially, she had nned to seduce Lin Yi, but unfortunately, Lin Yi had shown little interest in her, so she had to ensure she had a fallback option. The Han family''s business was her backup n. Actually, she had no real interest in Lin Yi, but since he was wealthy, he was worth the effort of seduction. Furthermore, learning that Lin Yi was the owner of Wenqu Building inmed her desires even further. If she could gain Lin Yi''s trust, perhaps she could secure the rights she longed for. Chapter 160 Keeping up with the Joneses So when she arrived at the hotel, he had already decided that sooner orter he would take back the power of the hotel; it was only a matter of time. Dad Han was inherently a simple-minded man, and he basically left his businesses to his subordinates to manage. Therefore, as long as she could be a person trusted by the Han family. Naturally, Dad Han''s businesses would be handed over for her to manage. This was a ssic case of hitting two birds with one stone. At this thought, a spark of desire flickered in Han Xuemei''s eyes. Soon she would upy a great portion of the Han family''s businesses. At this thought, she was brimming with excitement, elegantly stepping into the hotel in her high heels. ¡­ Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had put the kids in the car and nned to go buy study supplies together. This was the same Wenqu Building they had been to before - a building he secretly owned, though he had never revealed this to anyone. When Han Xuewei followed him and walked forward, she suddenly spotted two familiar figures and immediately furrowed her brows, standing frozen in ce. Lin Yi was somewhat surprised and turned to look at her. Then, as Lin Yi lifted his gaze, he saw a man and a woman just ahead. Lin Yi didn''t recognize either of them. However, Han Xuewei was very familiar with them, as these two were her ssmates, with the girl being Li Lanxue, her university ssmate, and the boy being Shen Wenjun. Li Lanxue and Han Xuewei had known each other since university, and Han Xuewei''s beauty stood out so much that she often overshadowed everyone else at school. Li Lanxue had been quietly working hard, constantly improving her makeup skills in the hopes that one day she could have many men fall at her feet. However, when the campus belle was announced, she copsed. Han Xuewei''s sudden appearance totally crushed all of her efforts, as the male students virtually worshiped Han Xuewei alone. They didn''t spare Li Lanxue a single nce. After many years of effort spent on makeup and weight loss to enhance her beauty, when she realized that all her efforts were just the starting point for someone with natural beauty like Han Xuewei, she felt devastated. No matter how heavy the makeup she applied or how exquisitely she dressed, she could notpare to the subtle, natural beauty of Han Xuewei, which only intensified her jealousy. The boy, Shen Wenjun, had also been acquainted with Han Xuewei; he had even pursued her but was rejected. Later on, rumors were that he had gone abroad and made a good life for himself, and now he had businesses in Huaxia as well. However, Han Xuewei hadn''t gone out of her way to find out more; her ssmates had simply told her. After all, Shen Wenjun was quite a significant figure, having once pursued her, and naturally attracted attention. Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun, both of whom came from well-off families, left Han Xuewei puzzled as to how two such unrted people could end up together. But at that moment, as she looked at them, she had no desire to greet them, only wanting to get away from them as quickly as possible. After all, in her memory, these two weren''t exactly easy to get along with. So Han Xuewei immediately pulled Lin Yi to walk aside, and Lin Yi also noticed that something was off with Han Xuewei, so he said to her, "Aren''t we going to buy stationery supplies?" After Lin Yi finished speaking, Han Xuewei told him about the general situation of these two people they had run into. Once Lin Yi heard it, he instantly understood the situation of these two people and guessed that they probably had some grudges with Han Xuewei and that they must have made things difficult for her. Because in his memory, Han Xuewei was someone with a very good temperament and personality, despite being the school beauty, she didn''t put on airs. The only possibility was that these people had been troubling her. Seeing his wife showing a troubled expression, Lin Yi naturally felt somewhat displeased. He certainly didn''t want Han Xuewei to be submissive in front of others. She should strike back when it was right to do so. Therefore, Lin Yi did not let Han Xuewei lead him away, and at this moment, Li Lanxue obviously had some intention to stir up trouble as she approached them with a sour tone. "Isn''t this our school''s beauty? Howe I see you here today? It''s really surprising!" After she finished speaking, Li Lanxue raised her eyes to look at Han Xuewei. Xue Mei looked at her, feeling somewhat embarrassed and simply nodded, "Yeah, I didn''t expect to see old ssmates here either." Seeing Han Xuewei''s gracefulposure, the jealousy in Li Lanxue''s eyes was unmistakable as she directly said, "I heard before that you got married, but I thought it was a joke. After all, we are still in university, getting married so early is quite special." Li Lanxue actually knew about it already, the news of Han Xuemei''s marriage had spread throughout the grade long ago. She remembered that Xuemei''s wedding was a big event, and many of their ssmates attended. How could she not know about this? Moreover, she had already seen Han Xuewei''s wedding. In her view, the wedding was quite ordinary, it was just held at a slightly better hotel and didn''t count as very luxurious. She turned to look behind her and saw Lin Yi''s car parked to the side, which made her look even more disdainful. That kind of ordinary sedan was just a few hundred thousand yuan, nothing noteworthy at all. A nce at Lin Yi was enough to tell her that both of them came from average families. So she immediately understood the situation, realizing that both of them were just from ordinary families and simply couldn''tpare with her current man, Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun owned several houses here and also had apany under his name. Han Xuewei immediately realized and spoke up, "I forgot to tell you, this is my husband, Lin Yi, he''s also from our school." Han Xuewei said with poise, her smile making her look very beautiful. Now that she had had a child, her entire aura seemed even more charming. Shen Wenjun, seeing Han Xuewei like this, also showed a look of astonishment. At this moment, Li Lanxue noticed Shen Wenjun''s gaze and immediately showed an unhappy look. She didn''t give Lin Yi any face and just snorted, "I haven''t seen him." Hearing Li Lanxue''s sour tone, Han Xuewei instantly felt somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not lose her temper, while Lin Yi remainedposed as he looked ahead. Shen Wenjun''s gaze was fixed on Han Xuewei. Although they had met before, they hadn''t seen each other for several years now, and he didn''t expect Han Xuewei to still be so beautiful. She seemed even more stunning and attractive than when he had seen her in university, and now her figure also seemed fuller. He didn''t know that was because Han Xue had already had a child. Seeing Shen Wenjun staring intently at Han Xuewei, Li Lanxue felt immediately unsatisfied and directly pulled on Shen Wenjun''s arm, saying, "This is my boyfriend, Shen Wenjun!" Chapter 161 Quirky and Weird Just as Li Lanxue finished speaking, she remembered Shen Wenjun''s pursuit of Han Xuewei during their college years and immediately showed signs of displeasure, speaking sarcastically, "I suppose you two must be quite familiar with each other!" After finishing, she turned her gaze towards Shen Wenjun, who was still staring at Han Xuewei. Actually, he didn''t want to look at Han Xuewei, but for some reason, every time he saw her, his eyes would be unconsciously drawn to her. Han Xuewei, now a mother, had a figure different from her college days, but she seemed even more charming. Shen Wenjun was also very surprised by Han Xuewei''s changes. Feeling Shen Wenjun''s gaze, Lin Yi immediately showed his displeasure, staring coldly at Shen Wenjun. He directly took Han Xuewei''s hand, pulled her behind him, and red unfriendly at Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun also came to his senses at this point, turning his head back with some embarrassment. Li Lanxue was watching him fiercely¡ªas if he was seeing another woman right in front of her, and so enraptured at that,pletely ignoring her! At that moment, Li Lanxue was pinching Shen Wenjun''s arm tightly. She looked upset, her gaze alternating between bluish and purplish as she stared at Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun only then showed a guilty expression and retreated to Li Lanxue''s side. Earlier, he had been so lost in staring at Han Xuewei because, after all, he had been deeply attracted to her since his first year of college. Back then, he had believed Han Xuewei to be the woman he wouldmit to for life, but after confessing several times, Han Xuewei always rejected him. He had thought that he had given up, and over the years abroad, he had be much moreposed, but now seeing Han Xuewei again stirred something restless within him. He was with Li Lanxue entirely because their families'' interests aligned, and although his family seemed respectable, in reality, it was all facade¡ªa shellpany. If it weren''t for Li Lanxue''s help, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this city, which was why Li Lanxue had agreed to partner with him. Seeing Shen Wenjun''s intense gaze only made Lin Yi more upset, as he stepped in front of Han Xuewei. This guy really was clueless. Lin Yi felt like pping Shen Wenjun dead, staring coldly at him. Although he knew Han Xuewei didn''t like Shen Wenjun, he also disliked others coveting her, especially with such tant looks. Han Xuewei was his now, and yet this guy had no sense of self-awareness, truly annoying. Meanwhile, Li Lanxue, looking displeased, smoothed over her expression after a while and put on a smile, saying, "Actually, it''s quite a coincidence running into you today. We just happen to have a gathering tonight. Our ssmates will all be there¡ªQin Xiaoxu must have told you about it, I presume. If he hasn''t yet, then let me tell you now, you definitely have toe, and remember to bring your husband with you. After all, it''ll be good for everyone to get acquainted!" Li Lanxue appeared hospitable, while Lin Yi watched her with a consistent cold look. He could see right through her intentions. At that moment, Han Xuewei felt somewhat uneasy; she never really liked these kinds of gatherings. She wasn''t one to conform to social situations, so she usually refused invitations to college reunions. But now, with Li Lanxue inviting her so eagerly, it would seem rather rude to refuse on the spot, making her hesitant. At that moment, Li Lanxue turned around, gave Lin Yi a cold nce, looked at the car behind him, and their indecisive expressions, immediately revealing a smug look on her face. Then, she began to speak with feigned concern, "Xue Mei, we were quite fateful sisters in college, even though we haven''t graduated yet! But having spent several years together, as the campus belle you should really go and show your face. If you don''t attend, I think a lot of male ssmates will be very disappointed." Li Lanxue''s words were sharp and harsh, not bothering to disguise them at all. Having said that, Li Lanxue then grabbed Shen Wenjun''s arm and continued, "Your wedding was so quiet, we all got the news from other ssmates. It''s really not fun to not invite us!" "But I think these reunions are asions where I should invite you. It wouldn''t hurt for everyone to get to know each other a little better!" After finishing her speech, she turned to Shen Wenjun with a flirtatious smile. At this time, Han Xuewei, hearing Li Lanxue''s mocking tone, suddenly felt awkward, but she really didn''t want to go to the reunion. At the reunion, those people would surely pressure her to drink, to do this and that¡ªit would be so ufortable! She would rather spend this time at home with her children, so she hesitated but eventually said, "Maybe I should pass, I''m quite busy with the family now that I''m married, and besides, I have children to take care of!" When it came to children, Shen Wenjun immediately frowned; he hadn''t expected Han Xuewei to have had children already at this time. A tinge of disappointment shed across his heart, and then he turned to Han Xuewei and said, "Actually, ssmates'' gatherings are no big deal. If you really don''t want toe, then let it be." Hearing Shen Wenjun speak up for Han Xuewei, Li Lanxue became annoyed and snorted coldly, "Wasn''t your husband said to be very capable before? Why not bring him to the reunion to show everyone!" "If you don''t dare, then don''t pretend to be something big and shy outside. I''ve heard from several ssmates that your husband is quite rich, and now you act all timid¡ªit''s really not bing!" Li Lanxue''s words were far too direct, and Han Xuewei immediately showed a displeased expression. She rarely looked at others with such an expression, and Shen Wenjun also felt it was a bit too much, as he held Li Lanxue''s hand. But Li Lanxue couldn''t let go of her pride and just red angrily at Han Xuewei. At this time, Lin Yi, watching the two of them with a cold gaze, took Han Xuewei''s hand and said with a slight smile, "Wife, since they''re inviting us so eagerly, let''s just go so as to avoid people gossiping if we don''t." "You!" Li Lanxue was clearly angry and wanted to say something more. But Lin Yi snorted coldly and said, "Since we''ve agreed, I''d like you to keep your distance from us. We''re off to the mall, so don''t waste our time." Lin Yi said this and immediately walked forward with Han Xuewei, not wanting to waste time with these two. Having the rare opportunity to be alone with Han Xuewei, why should he squander his time on such people? Li Lanxue, watching them hurry away, immediately revealed a scornful look and said, "Just two poor bugs pretending to be big shots; I want to see how long they can keep up the act." Chapter 162 Gathering Li Lanxue spoke coldly, her eyes full of disdain as she looked at Shen Wenjun; his earlier attitude had infuriated her. Li Lanxue''s face was ugly as she sneered, "It seems you still can''t forget that woman, how shameless of you. If that were the case, you shouldn''t havee to me for a partnership in the first ce!" "If you do anything else to anger me, I will cut off all partnership with the Shen Family, and then you can just wait for all your suppliers to disappear," she said coldly, confident in her own standing, for she was one of the top suppliers in the city. Wasn''t Shen Wenjun only with her because of this fact? Since they were together, if he dared to show any fickleness thinking about another woman, she would not let him off lightly. At this moment, Shen Wenjun could only nod in response to Li Lanxue''s words. The truth was their rtionship was nothing but a forced situation. If one of them did not cooperate, they were bound to scatter like birds and beasts. But Li Lanxue still quite liked Shen Wenjun; after all, he was an elite who had studied abroad, and both his personality and looks were good. But he had deep feelings for Han Xuewei, which annoyed her greatly; not that she cared that much for Shen Wenjun, she instead vented her grievances on Han Xuewei, watching their receding figures with even greater annoyance in her eyes. ... At this time, Lin Yi directly took Han Xuewei to the mall. The mall wasrge, and Lin Yi hadn''t paid particr attention to it even after receiving it from the system. Every day, the mall was making a profit, and his bank ount frequently gained several million in revenue, but Lin Yi simply didn''t bother managing it because he owned too manypanies. However,ing over today turned out to be a bit of a surprise; theyout of the mall was excellent, which seemed to be the reason for the good business. Lin Yi had originally nned to buy some stationery cards for studying with Han Xuewei, but now it seemed they couldn''t just buy those items. After all, they had just been provoked by Li Lanxue and her group; they must buy something fitting for a gathering, especially because they were dressed too casually today. At the same time, Han Xuewei felt a full sense of security in her heart as Lin Yi held her hand and led her forward. If she had to deal with the earlier scene on her own, it would definitely have been very awkward, and if she couldn''t out-argue the others, she would end up resenting herself for not performing well. But Lin Yi''s presence today had helped her greatly. She usually didn''t provoke anyone, but if others provoked her, she would also think about retaliating. However, due to her inherently kind nature, she was prone to soft-heartedness, and many things could be let go if possible. But Lin Yi''s demeanor today could be summed up in two words: domineering! At this moment, Han Xuewei was very happy, hugging his arm and walking forward with a cheerful smile. Seeing that Han Xuewei was in a good mood, Lin Yi couldn''t help but smile and said, "What''s up? You seem to be in a great mood!" Hearing this, Han Xuewei replied, "Because you are so good." Feeling pleased by thisment, Lin Tian browsed for a while before pulling her into a coffee shop. After ordering two cups of coffee, the two of them sat in a corner. At this moment, Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi and couldn''t help but speak up, "Actually, I really dislike gatherings; we shouldn''t have agreed to them back then, so we could have gone home early to be with the babies!" Hearing this, Lin Yi simply said, "I''ve already arranged for someone to take the babies back home, and now my mom is there taking care of them. We can go backter; it''s not a problem!" As he spoke, Lin Yi continued, "Actually, what that woman said just now was so obvious. She''s clearly jealous of you, which is why she''s picking on you." "I feel the same way. I had plenty of trouble with her back in college, but I never did anything to offend her. She just inexplicably picks fights every time, and I often don''t even want to interact with her. I''m truly unlucky to have run into her today!" As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi''s expression turned unpleasant too. He hated anyone who made Han Xuewei unhappy. "That woman is just jealous because you''re better and prettier than her, so she targets you at every turn. Against such people, you must never be soft-hearted." Upon hearing Lin Yi''s words, Han Xuewei just nodded. But she found it difficult to follow through with such things, as many rtionships bound her thinking. Moreover, she grew up in a superior family environment where her parents taught her to value harmony and to be kind to others. So quite often, she couldn''t bring herself to do those vicious things. Han Xuewei took a sip of her coffee and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Li Lanxue just seemed to suggest that our ssmates will all be there. Does that mean Qin Xiaoxu will be going too?" "If she knew, she would''ve told me in advance, but it''s strange that there''s been no word from her today. I need to give her a call right away." After saying this, Han Xuewei immediately took out her phone and called Qin Xiaoxu, whose voice came throughzy and hoarse, as if she had just woken up. "Vivi, did you call to tell me something?" Qin Xiaoxu''s voice waszy and husky. She had just woken up and, still bleary-eyed, was holding her phone in a daze. But upon Han Xuewei mentioning a name, Qin Xiaoxu instantly perked up. "What! Li Lanxue?? Isn''t she that annoying girl from my dorm, always causing me trouble? Thank goodness the dorm supervisor finally kicked her out, or I would''ve ended up fighting with her!" Qin Xiaoxu immediately woke up as she spoke. She remembered her past interactions with Li Lanxue and showed an unhappy expression. Han Xuewei merely recounted encountering Li Lanxue earlier that day. Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu also seemed surprised and her expression was filled with disbelief as she asked many questions, to which Han Xuewei responded one by one. "Yeah, she came with her boyfriend and insisted we attend some ss reunion. And her boyfriend turns out to be Shen Wenjun; I did not expect Shen Wenjun would be with her. It''s truly surprising. She spoke about me in a passive-aggressive way just now, and they must have invited you too. You have toe over!" Han Xuewei said this. Then Qin Xiaoxu nced at her phone screen, and several messages had popped up in WeChat, all sent in the group chat. She saw thest invitation, and an expression of resignation appeared on her face. "This is just so annoying; I hate gatherings the most." Qin Xiaoxu showed a helpless look, prompting Han Xuewei to feel somewhat helpless as well. If Qin Xiaoxu was not going, then Han Xuewei was even less inclined to attend the gathering. Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Pretending But at this moment, Lin Yi saw Han Xuewei''s dilemma and reached out to her. Han Xuewei then handed him the phone. Lin Yi spoke directly, "We''re at the mall right now. If youe over, whatever you want to buy, I''ll cover it!" Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a surprised look and sprang up from the bed, eagerly saying, "Really?!" She wasn''t interested in much, but her one true passion was shopping, and she also knew Lin Yi was very wealthy. When it came to luxury items, Lin Yi wouldn''t be stingy. So at that moment, she immediately put on her shoes and asked, "Can I buy anything?" "Anything!" Lin Yi said calmly. Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was the first to grab the shoes and clothes beside her and dashed to the bathroom. "I''ll be right there!" Hearing that, Lin Yi curled his lips and handed the phone back to Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei raised an eyebrow and spoke, "She''s willing toe now?" Lin Yi nodded. Han Xuewei immediately smiled and said, "You really have a way with things!" Before long, Qin Xiaoxu showed up in front of them. Qin Xiaoxu was in a hurry and didn''t take much time to get ready. She was dressed in casual clothes and hardly had any makeup on, perhaps just some moisturizer. But knowing she was going to the mall to shop, she was still very excited, fearing Lin Yi might change his mind, so she rushed over without pause. Seeing Qin Xiaoxu out of breath, Han Xuewei couldn''t help butugh and patted her shoulder, saying, "You didn''t have to rush like that!" Qin Xiaoxu shook her head and counted on her fingers, saying, "You don''t understand, I was afraid Lin Yi would back out. Anyway, I''m going to go on a huge shopping spree today." Hearing Qin Xiaoxu''s words, Han Xuewei found her quite amusing. At this time, Lin Yi, watching them, spoke up, "I definitely won''t back out on buying things, but you look like you just woke up?" Qin Xiaoxu nodded, and Lin Yi continued, "In that case, let''s go get something to eat first, thene back afterwards." Her eyes lit up when she heard this. She hadn''t expected Lin Yi to be so thoughtful and turned to Han Xuewei, "You''re really lucky. Lin Yi is definitely a thoughtful and good man," Hearing Qin Xiaoxu''s praise, Han Xuewei just smiled slightly, took Qin Xiaoxu''s hand, and started walking ahead. She said, "I''m not very familiar with the restaurants here, but my dad''s hotel is just up ahead and it''s pretty good! Let''s go eat at my dad''s ce, the food there is delicious. You haven''t tried it yet." Qin Xiaoxu nodded, having wanted to go there for a while, but she never had the chance. At this point, the two of them walked ahead hand in hand, and Lin Yi followed, realising he seemed like the third wheel, somewhat awkwardly catching up to Han Xuewei''s side. But Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu were chatting away non-stop. Lin Yi wasn''t upset; seeing Han Xuewei happy made him happy too. The three of them chatted andughed as they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, and just as they were about to enter, they saw Han Xuemei standing at the front desk. In her hand, she held a flyer, yet her expression seemed somewhat frozen, Lin Yi had grown ustomed to it whereas Qin Xiaoxu suddenly stopped in her tracks, frowning. She looked at Han Xuemei with some puzzlement, having seen Xuemei at the wedding banquet before, her impression of her wasn''t very good, and what was she doing here! Why hadn''t she received any news? And her ability to spot green tea was always urate, Han Xuewei was always someone without schemes, just a genuinely kind person. If it came to a fight with Han Xuemei, she definitely wouldn''t win; she couldn''t let a scheming woman like Han Xuemei get in touch with Han Xuewei. Lin Yi, holding Han Xuewei''s hand, walked past her towards the front. Han Xuemei, who had a frozen face just moments ago, immediately put on a professional smile and said to Han Xuewei and Lin Yi, "Brother-inw, Vivi sis, what brings the two of you here?" Upon hearing Han Xuemei call out "Brother-inw" with such intimacy, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a displeased expression, staring coldly at her. This woman was truly too sly, ying the innocent in front of others with great ir. Qin Xiaoxu immediately stood beside Han Xuewei, giving a slight smile as she looked at her. At that moment, Han Xuemei noticed Qin Xiaoxu, showing a surprised expression as she said, "I think I also saw this sister at the wedding before, but I''m so dumb, I didn''t remember your name, could you tell me again?" Upon hearing this from Han Xuemei, Qin Xiaoxu''s face immediately turned very unpleasant. What was this woman ying at? She remembered she was about the same age as this woman, right? What gave her the right to call her "sister" so casually? Initially, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t want to argue with Han Xuemei, but felt that Xuemei was too pretentious and couldn''t help saying, "My name is Qin Xiaoxu, and we indeed met at the wedding before, but it seems I''m actually younger than you." Upon hearing this, Han Xuemei immediatelyughed awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty as she said, "I''m sorry, I got it wrong. My brain isn''t very sharp. Sorry, younger sister." Hearing these words, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a look of displeasure. What was up with this woman? She just corrected her, and now she''s acting as if she had done something wrong. Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat speechless and chose not to speak any further. Lin Yi sensed the awkward atmosphere and spoke indifferently, "We''re here to eat today, the three of us. Please arrange a table for us, somewhere quiet, okay?" Lin Yi said this faintly, and upon hearing this, Han Xuemei felt somewhat discontent. She watched them enjoying themselves, while she could only be at others'' service, inevitably feeling the disparity in her heart. But she quickly squeezed out another smile, immediately saying warmly, "Sure, I''ll arrange it for you right away." Soon after, Han Xuemei gave Lin Yi a card, and Lin Yi led both of them upstairs. At this time, Han Xuemei''s expression turned sour as she looked back at them climbing the stairs, the displeasure clear in her eyes. Han Xuewei had originally nned to check on her Dad Han during her visit, but was informed by the waiter that her dad had gone out for social engagements today. Therefore, she couldn''t see him and had no choice but to let it be. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu, sitting next to her, was already enjoying her meal with great delight, savoring the food, and asionally expressing her admiration, her thumbs up never lowered. Chapter 164 The Single Dog "Vivi, really, I''m not bragging, it''s truly delicious. Your dad''s hotel serves food that''s much tastier than those other restaurants outside. I have toe again next time, will you treat me? Hahaha!" Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewei were particrly close, so of course they could joke around like this. Han Xuewei, however, frowned and said, "No way, with your appetite, our shop will be eaten into bankruptcy!" Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu immediately reached out to pinch Han Xuewei''s face, and the atmosphere between the two was very beautiful. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had ordered several signature dishes, and when they were served, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Aren''t these Western dishes?" Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded and said, "The chefs in this hotel are all high-level; they can cook both Western and Chinese cuisine. There''s basically nothing they can''t make." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu''s surprise was evident, and he couldn''t help but give a big thumbs up, and then he said, "No wonder this hotel''s business is so good, it''s because you''ve hired high-level chefs, no wonder!" After the three of them finished eating, Lin Yi led them downstairs. At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu showed a helpless expression and said, "I wish I didn''t have to go to the gathering. I''m already full, I really want to go home and sleep!" Han Xuewei, hearing this, knocked on her head and said, "If you dare to run away now, I''ll beat you up!" The two of them chuckled and chatted away, and Lin Yi was surprised to find that Qin Xiaoxu''s appearance seemed to rx Han Xuewei quite a bit, bringing back some of her girlish liveliness. When they walked out the door, they saw Han Xuemei. Han Xuewei greeted Han Xuemei, who responded warmly, "Where are you guys heading?" Han Xuewei then said, "We''re nning to go shopping at the mall. Why don''t you join us?" Upon hearing this, Han Xuemei immediately said, "That''s fine!" Lin Yi and Qin Xiaoxu were startled at Han Xuemei''s response, and Han Xuewei didn''t know what to say in the moment. She had spoken without thinking, not expecting Han Xuemei to really want to join them at the mall. Worried about the situation getting out of hand, Qin Xiaoxu quickly went to Han Xuewei''s side and took her hand. Han Xuewei also realized what was happening, but she didn''t know what to say, while Han Xuemei seemed to realize her words were a bit awkward. With a helpless look, she said, "I actually have things to take care of, I was just joking with you guys. Go ahead and have fun!" At that moment, Han Xuewei smiled slightly, nodded her head, said goodbye, and then continued walking forward with Lin Yi and the others. Qin Xiaoxu was also pleased, since he had almost thought Han Xuemei was going toe along, which would surely have made him crumble. He barely knew Han Xuemei, and having her join them for shopping, what would that look like? Fortunately, Han Xuemei wasn''tcking in social awareness. If she really hade along, he would have preferred to drop out immediately. As for Han Xuemei, as she watched them leave, her expression grew uglier, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes filled with envy. Of course, she liked shopping and buying things like any other girl, wishing she could buy whatever she wanted without a second thought, dreaming of having the same status as Han Xuewei. But now she couldn''t do anything, she could only watch the life she dreamed of have nothing to do with her. Why should this be? Even though they were from the same family, her fate was so much worse than Han Xuewei''s. Han Xuewei could live as she pleased, while she could only stay here to greet the guests. She had to use all her wits just to get what she wanted! She didn''t want this kind of life to continue any longer, sooner orter she would definitely rece Han Xuewei. Thinking this in her heart, a resentful look shed across her eyes, and it was at this moment that Lin Yi furrowed his brows and nced over at her. With just an indifferent nce, Han Xuemei''s face suddenly stiffened, and she couldn''t stop trembling all over, not knowing what was wrong with herself. Lin Yi had only looked at her, yet she felt as if he had seen through all her dirty thoughts, which made her feel unnatural at once. Lin Yi also sensed that something was amiss, gave Han Xuemei a cold look, and then turned his head away. He had always felt that Han Xuemei seemed to have a lot of schemes hidden, and he couldn''t let his guard down against her; he should have someone keep a close watch on her. Soon, Lin Yi led them back into the shopping center, which was enormouslyrge, upying almost half of the building, and inside there were all kinds of luxury goods, sports cars, bags, designer brands¡ªyou name it. At that moment, Lin Yi looked at the store directory in the lobby on the first floor, spotted the clothing logo, and led them into the elevator. When they reached the fourth floor, they walked out into an area that was all designer clothes. Lin Yi also nned to treat Han Xuewei to a good shopping trip this time, to pick out some clothes that she liked. Han Xuewei had rarely gone out these days, and all her clothes were old. Qin Xiaoxu followed along to the front, but seeing Lin Yi holding Han Xuewei''s hand, something suddenly came to her mind, and she couldn''t help but frown and speak up. "Is everyone going to bring their boyfriends to the gathering? It''ll be so awkward for me to sit there alone," she said. Qin Xiaoxu thought of her own concerns and immediately showed a troubled expression. At this moment, she wanted to go even less, but then Han Xueweiughed and said, "It''s your own fault for being idle usually and not seriously finding a boyfriend." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a disdainful look and replied, "I''ve never been unserious about finding one. The problem is that all those boys I met were too timid to even dare to date me!" Han Xueweiughed upon hearing this, recalling the boys who had pursued Qin Xiaoxu, and found it to be one funny joke after another. Because Qin Xiaoxu''s usual personality was carefree, but in reality, she was a once-in-a-millennium homebody, even more socially anxious than herself, only able to put on a show of bravado in front of people she knew. So, in front of those boys, she had to put on an attitude that pushed people away by a thousand miles, yet at the same time, she seemed to show that she really wanted to date them. Those men couldn''t figure out her thoughts, even thinking she had a split personality, which is why no one dared to be with her over the years. But Qin Xiaoxu had never doubted herself; she had great confidence in herself, after all, her good looks and family background spoke for themselves. If those men didn''t chase her, it only showed they knew when to give up, they simply weren''t good enough for her. Lately, fewer boys pursued her because Qin Xiaoxu came from a well-off family, and she liked to buy luxury items, all with her own money. But when this got to the ears of those boys, it turned into something quite unsavory. Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Jealousy She didn''t know why some boys'' minds were so filthy, even more loathsome than girls''. She often bought herself luxury goods, and those boys assumed she was clinging to some wealthy tycoons, which is why she could afford those luxuries. Many people didn''t understand her family background, so they started spreading rumors about her. They thought she was a tant gold-digger, and as a result, many boys at school began hearing these rumors. They didn''t care about the truth of the matter, anyway. They saw Qin Xiaoxu with luxury goods and believed the matter was settled. So now, very few boys approached her, and those who pursued her didn''t understand her. But Qin Xiaoxu didn''t care about all this, because her vision and family background were far above the ordinary, so why should she bother with the lower-ss people''s gossip? As Qin Xiaoxu contemted, a notification sound came from her phone. She took out her phone and read the message aloud, "Vivi, that Li Lan seems to have asked us to meet at Jinguo Hotel!" Hearing this, Lin Yi showed a look of surprise; he was also unexpected, not expecting the meeting to be at his own hotel. It was a reward from the system before, but he hadn''t been there either. However, at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu was rather vexed and spoke helplessly. "You all have partners, and me going alone is just too awkward. No way, I need to find myself a boyfriend too!" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei burst intoughter, "Is a boyfriend something you can just find like that?" But Qin Xiaoxu actually took out her phone and sent a message. Han Xuewei immediately leaned in and saw the contact name Lin Jie, then showed a look of surprise, saying, "I forgot to ask you earlier, haven''t you always been familiar with him? Are you two...?" Han Xuewei said with implied meaning. Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu gave her a look and said, "How could I possibly be genuine with him? It''s just to cope with family, so I pretend to be his girlfriend, just putting on a show for the parents! And that guy is surprisingly generous; he actually spends money to buy me things, saying the more convincing I am, the more I''ll get!" Hearing this, Han Xuewei couldn''t helpughing. Qin Xiaoxu sure was a little money-grubber. At this moment, Lin Yi showed a look of surprise and said, "Lin Jie is actually quite nice; you could consider getting to know him a bit more." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu shook her head and said directly, "That guy is just a stereotypical straight man, what does he know? Plus, I think I don''t hate him. After all, he''s a good person, his personality is okay, and he''s generous with me. But I always feel something''s not perfect about being with him, like something''s missing..." "Ah, I can''t quite put my finger on it, but anyway, I haven''t nned on making him my real boyfriend." As Qin Xiaoxu spoke hesitantly, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi exchanged looks and burst intoughter. Han Xuewei walked over to Qin Xiaoxu and said, "If you''re afraid of feeling awkward, just call him over. I guarantee, once he''s there, he can help you manage the situation. After all, Lin Jie has the demeanor and the looks, he''s not worse than other guys." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu also thought it made sense. Lin Jie was always having her pretend to be his girlfriend to deal with things; it was about time she called him over to handle a situation for her. After saying that, Qin Xiaoxu immediately made a phone call. Soon, Lin Jie picked up on the other side, and Qin Xiaoxu spoke up, "Lin Jie, I have a get-together tonight with some old ssmates, and your brother and Vivi will be there too. Why don''t youe with me?" Qin Xiaoxu spoke quickly, a bit afraid of the awkwardness, while Han Xuewei rarely saw Qin Xiaoxu with this attitude and couldn''t help butugh. At this moment, Lin Jie, having heard this, put down the game he had in hand and responded, "You promised toe see me before, and you haven''t dealt with dad and mom''s matter yet. Now you want me to go to a ss reunion for you?" Hearing Lin Jie''s words, Qin Xiaoxu immediately became somewhat agitated and retorted, "I''m just asking you toe over and help out; it''s not a big deal. Besides, couldn''t you just see your parents these two days? Why are you bargaining as soon as you open your mouth!" Lin Jie was a bit taken aback by Qin Xiaoxu''s remarks but seemed to sense that Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat upset as he said, "In that case, I''lle over and save you the embarrassment in front of your ssmates!" When Qin Xiaoxu heard Lin Jie say this, he was stunned on the spot. Lin Jie rarely showed this attitude, but this time it seemed as though he had be enlightened, even knowing how to annoy him. Just as Qin Xiaoxu was about to say something, Lin Jie interrupted, "Send me the address, I''ll hurry over." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu hung up and sent over the address. Lin Yi then said to the two of them, "Since he is attending the get-together today, I think both of you should dress up nicely." Upon hearing Lin Yi''s words, Qin Xiaoxu nodded seriously and, patting Han Xuewei''s shoulder, said, "I do think we should dress up nicely. Just to make sure Li Lanxue has nothing to say. She must have acted all high and mighty in front of you this time. I must dress up beautifully to leave her speechless." With augh at Qin Xiaoxu''s words, Han Xuewei said, "You are right, I agree!" The two of them continued to walk ahead,ughing and chatting as they shopped for a while. Lin Jie soon arrived, and upon seeing Lin Yi, immediately greeted, "Bro." Lin Yi nodded at him and pointed towards Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu. Lin Jie immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Bro, you have no idea. Qin Xiaoxu can really shop. Your wallet is definitely going to take a hit this time." Hearing this, Lin Yi looked at him nonchntly, and Lin Jie, suddenly with a mischievous smile, asked, "Since I''m here too, can I buy something as well, bro?" Lin Yi knew what he was thinking and nodded at him. Lin Jie immediately ran over to them, thrilled. At that moment, when Qin Xiaoxu saw Lin Jie, she said indifferently, "Knowing we are shopping, you sure came quickly." Lin Jie simply smiled and browsed through the suits, saying, "I just hope to look good when the timees." Qin Xiaoxu was somewhat surprised by this statement, thinking he wanted to show off at the event, but Lin Jie''s next sentence left her speechless. "Since my friend alwaysins about my poor taste in clothes, I''ll have your ssmates see just how good my taste is when I go there today!" Qin Xiaoxu: "..." Chapter 166 Shopping Spree The shopping atmosphere heated up because Lin Jie had arrived. Lin Yi had no interest in choosing clothes, so he just sat to one side looking at his phone, ready to try on anything Han Xuewei might pick out for him if she found something suitable. If left to his own devices, he probably wouldn''t be able to make a decision, and he didn''t really enjoy picking out clothes anyway. Just as they were bustlingly selecting items, a few men in suits walked in. Lin Yi, sitting off to the side, frowned when he saw them. It seemed he had thought of something and immediately stood up to walk toward them. These men were likely the management staff of the mall, and his intuition told him they must be looking for him for some reason. After all, this mall was his, and they would certainly be aware of the insider information. As Lin Yi approached, the man leading the group greeted him, "Hello, sir, I''m the manager of this mall, my name is Han Dong. May I ask if you are Mr. Lin Yi?" Hearing this, Lin Yi''s frown deepened; he had a vague idea of what they were here for. He was the owner of the mall, the shareholder with thergest stake. And he also owned the Wenqu Building, probably the mall''s senior management, and he had greeted them and revealed his identity before, so they must havee looking for him now. Since it was his property, he shouldn''t need to pay for his purchases. But Lin Yi didn''t care about the money; it was just that the suit-d men looked somewhat constrained and serious as they gazed at him. Lin Yi looked towards Han Xuewei; he didn''t want to let this situation out into the open, after all, it would be too sudden without a suitable reason. Saying it was a system issue seemed too unbelievable, so Lin Yi chose to keep it from them. He then made a discreet gesture to Han Dong, who, after seeing Lin Yi''s expression and ncing at the people selecting clothes behind him, seemed to have an idea and casually began, "Well, our mall is nning to run a promotion and you, sir, have won our mall''s prize. We noticed your number when you came in!" "Our tail number is eight-eight-eight?" At these words, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and nodded. Han Xuewei and the others also came closer. They thought it was strange to see these suit-d men, so they quickly joined Lin Yi. Upon hearing what the man said, they all turned their attention to Lin Yi. Lin Yi just nodded, and Han Dong said, "That''s really fortunate, you''ve won our big prize, a mall promotion! We''ve provided a starting fund of ten million, which means you can spend up to ten million here today; anything up to that amount, you''re free to take!" At these words, Qin Xiaoxu immediately disyed a shocked expression, looking incredulously at the suit-d men. Lin Jie and Han Xuewei were also slightly surprised, but at that moment Lin Yi simply nodded his head and calmly said, "Well, thank you very much!" At this, the suit-d man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, "Don''t mention it, you''re just really lucky. Here''s my business card, just take this card to the front deskter and you can settle the bill." Hearing this, Lin Yi took the business card. Qin Xiaoxu showed a delighted expression, eximing, "My God, ten million! That''s such a bargain." Lin Yi, looking calmly at the man, also thought his approach was good, as it saved him from some trouble. Han Xuewei was likewise astonished, as such urrences had happened many times before. She could only recognize that Lin Yi possessed extraordinary abilities. At that moment, Han Dong just smiled and, not saying anything more, greeted them and left. Lin Yi just nodded. As Han Dong turned his head, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling very nervous. He was shocked to hear the instructions from his superiors, but upon learning that the entire building belonged to this gentleman, he almost kneeled in astonishment. Because this gentleman had never shown the presence of a big boss, he couldn''t detect it at all. Could wealthy people really be so low-key? He thought to himself, surprised that Lin Yi was such a person, unwilling to reveal his information. Fortunately, he had kept it secret for Lin Yi. Otherwise, he would have been finished. He had initially nned to tter Lin Yi by telling him that the entire store''s consumption would be free, that the people above would take care of the bills. After all, for a mall asrge as theirs, every penny had to be ounted for clearly, and a big boss like Lin Yi would definitely make purchases worth a significant amount. So his quick thinking was indeed very good, or else Lin Yi wouldn''t have smiled at him. Thinking this, he let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu was also extremely excited, hearing about the ten million starting fund. She had no doubt and just took it as good fortune. After all, she had seen malls like this with prices that were never cheap, so now she was just consuming eagerly. Now without any reservations, she initially thought she was spending Lin Yi''s money and spending a million was already the limit. But now with the ten million starting fund, why should she care? It was right just to grab what she liked. Lin Jie started picking out suits for himself with pleasure, but suddenly ended up with several shopping bags in his hands, unknowingly taking quite a few from behind Qin Xiaoxu. The girl was just too extravagant; buying things was all about appeal for her. If she liked something, she would just let the salesperson pack it up. Han Xuewei, on the other hand, was more meticulous in her shopping. She would pick what she liked and then try it on to see if it fit. If it wasn''t the right fit, she wouldn''t buy it. Because that would be a waste; after all, even if she wouldn''t wear them, those clothes weren''t cheap. Although she had always lived in luxury since she was young and wore expensive clothes, she nearly wore each and every item, never engaging in wasteful behavior. She had just reminded Qin Xiaoxu to pick something she could wear regrly, but Qin Xiaoxu seemed to be replying randomly. Now she had chosen for herself a deep purple coat that seemed very hard to pull off, but Qin Xiaoxu really liked it and just went ahead with the purchase. Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Personal Taste At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu was clearly very happy, and she quickly picked out some clothes she liked but never had the chance to buy. Moreover, she felt that such an asion definitely called formitment, so she wasn''t that reserved, thinking that even if she couldn''t wear them, she could give them awayter. Moreover, Qin Xiaoxu was someone who would like anything she saw; she wanted to buy and try on the clothes worn by stars on TV. So, at this moment, she saw a feather-covered dress and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Lin Jie''s eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn''t help but say, "You''re not really thinking about buying that, are you? Wearing that would make you look like a feather duster." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu immediately showed a disdainful expression, turned her head to Lin Jie, and said, "What do you know about fashion? Wearing this kind of dress will definitely give off a high-end brand vibe. Salesperson, pack this one up for me!" Lin Jie hade to a realization; he couldn''t afford to anger Qin Xiaoxu now, otherwise, she would buy all the clothes he thought were bad. After a while shopping, Lin Jie was already carrying dozens of shopping bags. Meanwhile, Lin Yi was following behind Han Xuewei, holding only about ten shopping bags. The items Han Xuewei picked were all very carefully chosen; besides buying for herself, she also bought some for Lin Yi. If there had been children''s clothes here, she would have been extremely happy and would have bought some for the babies as well, but sadly, there weren''t any. However, there was nock of children''s clothes at home, so she dismissed the thought and after shopping for a while longer, Han Xuewei also started to feel tired. After all, she had to try on every piece of clothing she picked, and that process was quite troublesome. Looking at the dozens of shopping bags in his hands, Lin Jie frowned and said, "Qin Xiaoxu, that''s enough. If you take any more, I won''t be able to carry it all even if I had ten hands. Look at how much you''ve picked; among all these bags, only one or two are mine. You need to restrain yourself!" Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu turned her head, her expression also one of shock. Without realizing it, she had picked out so much, but when she picked them, she did look at the price tags¡ªthe total came to just over a million. The event had given a budget of ten million, so she had been quite restrained. With this in mind, Qin Xiaoxu felt it was reasonable and smiled lightly, saying, "No worries, just wait a bit longer, I''ll pick two more pieces!" Hearing that, Lin Jie''s eyes widened, because he knew that the ''two pieces'' Qin Xiaoxu mentioned probably meant twenty. But there was nothing he could do, he just had to follow behind her. At this point, looking at Qin Xiaoxu''s retreating figure, Lin Jie couldn''t help but think that if he had to shop with Qin Xiaoxu in the future, wouldn''t he need to be prepared with funds? Otherwise, just one shopping spree with Qin Xiaoxu might leave him unable to pay back the debt! At this thought, he suddenly looked astonished; why was he having such thoughts? He scratched his head, deeply furrowing his brows. Qin Xiaoxu was just his fake girlfriend; how could he even think about shopping and buying things for her! Thinking this, Lin Jie became a bit irritated. He was carrying those dozens of shopping bags and took out his phone, just in time to vent to his family. They had been very satisfied with Qin Xiaoxu before, but Qin Xiaoxu was far from being an ideal daughter-inw. Would an ideal daughter-inw spend money sovishly? Lin Jie then took a photo and sent it to the family group chat. When Lin Yi''s parents saw the message, they immediately showed a look of surprise. Mother Lin couldn''t help but express her amazement, "Old Lin, your son is now quite promising, and he even takes his girlfriend out shopping." Then, a message popped up on Lin Jie''s phone¡ªit was a transfer from his Dad. Upon opening it, he saw his dad had transferred a full million to him! Lin Jie was stunned by this, and couldn''t help but send a message to his old man to ask about it. At that moment, Lin Yi sent over a disdainful emoticon, followed by another message. "If you need more money, juste to me!" Lin Jie, seeing this, was dumbfounded once again; he hadn''t expected his parents to be so easygoing. Usually, they would lecture him about independence and finding a job whenever he asked for living expenses, but now they were transferring so much money just because he bought his girlfriend some things. Lin Jie was at a loss as to when his parents became so inconsistent. Although he was somewhat speechless, receiving a cool million for nothing was definitely worth it. After walking around the upper floors, Han Xuewei finally got tired. Qin Xiaoxu only stopped when she saw that Lin Jie couldn''t carry any more. But today was the happiest she had been shopping in years, because although her family background was decent, she couldn''t always spend so freely. Today, however, there was a sale, which made the shopping experience even more thrilling. At this point, Han Xue looked at Lin Jie''s almost tearful expression and said with a light smile, "Everyone has bought almost everything they wanted, so let''s head back first. You two should head back as well, get ready, and then tonight, we''ll meet at the hotel!" After Han Xuewei finished speaking, she and Lin Yi left. Lin Yi gave Lin Jie a few reminders before leaving. After they had their say, they all went home. Lin Yi was driving, with Han Xuewei sitting in the passenger seat. After spending a long time choosing clothes, she felt tired and took a nap. Lin Yi deliberately drove slower, but at this moment, the system''s voice rang out. "Congrattions to the host forpleting a special task! Reward issued: one ''Golden Dragon'' ck card containing one hundred million in cash." "The host haspleted quite a few special tasks, so the system is granting a special reward! As long as you hasten the cultivation of affection with your wife, the system will be even more supportive!" The system''s voice sounded somewhat elfish, and Lin Yi couldn''t help butugh, yet he was very happy¡ªhe had actually received a ck card with a hundred million in cash. Previously, the system would reward him amounts ranging from a hundred thousand to a million or provide him withpanies, but this time the reward was extravagantlyrge! Actually receiving a hundred million, Lin Yi immediately showed a look of surprise. He wanted to check his phone, but since he was driving, he had to wait. After he got home, the first thing he did was check his phone, and indeed, a hundred million in cash appeared on it. He was once again delighted. Lin Yi, looking at the hundred million in cash, nned to use it for investment. However, finding the amount substantial, after some thought, he transferred ten million to Han Xuewei. This should act as his personal savings. While he knew Han Xuewei wasn''t short of money, he believed that a man should provide a sense of security to a woman, not just emotionally, but materially as well. Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Investing to Make Money After Lin Yi made the transfer, he thought of Han Xuewei''s parents, who had taken care of Han Xuewei diligently for so many years. Therefore, he also transferred five million to each of her parents. Afterpleting the transfer, he remembered his own parents were the same and transferred five million to each of his parents as well. Sounds of inquiry arose in the family group chat with Han Xuewei''s parents asking why Lin Yi suddenly transferred money to them! But Lin Yi always said that he had some recent sess in investment, which was why he transferred the money to them. At that moment, Han Xuewei came out and saw Lin Yi, her eyebrows knitted in confusion as she spoke, "Husband! Why did you transfer money to me, and it''s ten million at that!" Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei and immediately embraced her, "Husband earns money to spend on his wife, and the money I transferred to you is all from my recent earnings in investments!" "Don''t worry about my investments having any risks. I''ll just tell you straight, I''m very wealthy now!" Lin Yiughed heartily, and Han Xuewei immediately hugged his arm and said, "That''s fantastic, my husband is so wealthy that I can live like a princess from now on." After their cheerful chat, Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei''s gentle and elegant face, couldn''t help but lower his head and nt a kiss on her face, making Han Xuewei show a bashful expression. However, after hearing the notification sound on the phone, Han Xuewei picked it up and saw her parents'' inquiry, her brows furrowed as she said, "You also transferred money to my parents." Lin Yi nodded his head. Han Xuewei wanted to say more, but the family group chat kept buzzing with messages. Not wanting her parents to refuse, Lin Yi had to keep exining. He replied to Dad Han and Han''s mother, "Dad, Mom, don''t worry. I recently made a bit of money from investing, so consider this money as a little token of my filial piety. It''s really not much!" After he finished speaking, Dad Han sent a message back. "But if you want to transfer money, a few tens of thousands would suffice. We don''t really spend much anyway. You transferred five million in one go, which is just too much." For Dad Han, five million was entirely too much, sometimes not even reaching that amount in a month on a bad day of business, and now that Lin Yi had transferred it to him, he might as well retire and stop working. At this moment, Han''s mother was also very surprised and sent a message, "Lin Yi, you really shouldn''t have, we''re so old now, where would we need that much money? You should spend the money on the children. We old bones don''t need it." Lin Yi''s mother and father were both extremely amazed and said, "What windfall have youe across recently, child?" Lin Yi''s parents weren''t as astonished; they were very happy to see their child sessful. Lin Yi simply replied that he had profited from investments and had invested a lot earlier, so this time the returns were substantial. He assured everyone not to worry, as he was involved in legitimate business. Seeing Lin Yi''s response settled everyone''s minds as the work wasn''t illicit. Moreover, Lin Yi was always considered steady and reliable, so they didn''t overthink it. Dad Han and Han''s mother were extremely moved, although he was their son-inw, he could offer such sincerity. With the meticulous care he showed towards Han Xuewei, it naturally touched their hearts. "Lin Yi must take good care of himself and not be too busy with work!" Dad Han said this, and Lin Yi simply replied, "I''m still young, I need to work hard when I can. As for you, if you ever want to retire, I''lle to help with your hotel right away." Upon hearing this, Dad Han''s eyes immediately brimmed with tears. Before he had founded his hotel, he was often ridiculed by others, and he only had one daughter, Han Xuewei, without a son. To be honest, it wasn''t very practical to pass on the family business to Han Xuewei eventually, as she would leave and grow further apart from him. But unexpectedly, Han Xuewei had married such a wonderful man who not only took care of her but also offered help andfort to him. Having such an excellent son-inw, he was very satisfied in his heart. After chatting enough with his family, Lin Yi went to take a shower. Being a straightforward man, he cleaned up quite quickly, and after just about ten minutes, he came out. At that moment, Han Xuewei was choosing clothes. Lin Yi, watching her tender silhouette, couldn''t help but walk over to her and held her in his arms, inhaling her faint fragrance. Suddenly, Lin Yi felt an urge, wishing he could pin Han Xuewei down right then. Han Xuewei sensed something was off and immediately turned her head, saying, "Stop fooling around, we''ll bete. Hurry up and change." Lin Yi could only reluctantly let go of Han Xuewei and said indifferently, "It''s fine, it''s not any important party. If we''rete, we''rete." Han Xuewei just smiled faintly. She had nned to pick out a smart-looking suit for Lin Yi, but since he didn''t care much about tonight''s gathering, he casually picked a casual outfit from the closet. Although it was a regr piece of clothing, it still cost nearly a hundred thousand, being a niche brand not well-known to many. Lin Yi found itfortable to wear, so he took it in his hands. If he were still courting Han Xuewei, then perhaps he would dilly-dally and take two hours to get ready. But as this gathering was not worth fretting over, Lin Yi wasn''t so serious about it. Han Xuewei chose a bright red gown, an elegant piece that exposed a portion of her back. Although not very sexy, it was nheless grand. Han Xuewei thought the dress was very beautiful, so she took it in her hands. Lin Yi frowned at the gown. It was just too revealing for his liking, and with his wife''s good figure, if they went to the gathering and so many people saw her¡­ Thinking this, he felt ufortable, so he pressed down on the dress and said, "Don''t wear this one. Wear this instead." Lin Yi picked a skirt from the wardrobe that matched the color of his outfit, which was also very beautiful. It was a distinctly subtle and elegant type of beauty. Many people would wear special gowns to these gatherings to look more sophisticated. But Lin Yi thought Han Xuewei looked beautiful in anything, and he didn''t want other men ogling his wife at the party. Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Beautiful and Elegant Han Xuewei seemed to have read Lin Yi''s mind, and with a faint smile, she took the dress from his hands and said, "I didn''t expect you to be so petty!" Lin Yi, upon hearing this, looked at Han Xuewei and leaned down to kiss her, saying, "I''m indeed petty!" Han Xuewei''s face turned red, and she immediately pushed Lin Yi away, "Alright, stop fooling around, we''re really going to bete." When Han Xuewei was in college, she was an exemry student, so under these circumstances, she definitely wouldn''t bete and would not have any issues. But today, because of Lin Yi''s ying around, they ended up being several minutester than usual. However, Lin Yi wasforting her on the side, not caring much about the gathering, while Han Xuewei was somewhat nervous, as she rarely attended such events. Lin Yi drove the car and, arriving a few minuteste, they reached the entrance of Jinguo Hotel. In fact, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun were not that punctual either, arriving just a minute or two before Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. They parked their car right at the hotel entrance and got out together. Hand in hand, they walked towards the entrance of the hotel, but just as they were about to step inside, they heard a series of exmations from outside. Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also showed looks of surprise, turning their heads only to see another car still parked at the hotel entrance. Sitting inside that car were Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. At that moment, Han Xuewei looked up and saw Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun, realizing she actually wasn''tte at all, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She got out of the car from the passenger side and said, "Honey, I''ll wait for you here, go park the car!" Lin Yi looked around and found a parking spot right there, which was also convenient for getting out. So, without hesitation, he intended to park right there, but the security guards nearby wore looks of astonishment, and both eximed simultaneously, "That''s a Mercedes Benz worth several million. That''s not just any car." "Exactly, hurry and tell that rich guy not to park there! If it gets scratched by another car, both of us are going to end up jobless!" The security guard, in a rush, said this and ran over. One guard, speaking hastily into a walkie-talkie, pointed at Lin Yi and said, "Sir, please park your car over by the entrance. There are too many cars here, and I''m worried yours could get damaged!" Lin Yi had initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the man''s worried expression, he realized the psychological pressure his car might be causing him. Not wishing to cause any trouble, Lin Yi obediently drove towards the indicated spot. The security guard finally sighed in relief; if the car were to get scratched, he wouldn''t earn enough in his lifetime to pay for that paint job. Meanwhile, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also disyed looks of surprise, watching the scene unfold incredulously. However, Shen Wenjun quickly diverted her gaze back to Han Xuewei, who was waiting for Lin Yi. Han Xuewei had her hair deliberately let down today, adorned with a delicate hair clip. She was wearing a very soft casual outfit and looked gentle and elegant¡ªa virtuous wife and good mother, beautiful and poised. When she turned her head and saw Li Lanxue, whose features clearly showed signs of cosmetic refinement, she felt a vast disparity and showed a look of disappointment. At that moment, Li Lanxue also noticed Shen Wenjun''s gaze, lifted her head, and upon seeing Shen Wenjun''s disappointed expression, she immediately frowned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?" Li Lanxue said, having applied a particrly exquisite makeup for today, her goal was to dazzle everyone in attendance. At that moment, Shen Wenjun immediately turned his head, his eyes brimming with disappointment. If only he had tried harder back then, he might truly have won the heart of Han Xuewei. His family''s financial condition wasn''t bad. If only he had put in more effort, he could certainly have gained Han Xuewei''s admiration. Moreover, Han Xuewei''s family background was indeed very impressive. He had previously thought Han Xuewei came from afortable, middle-ss family. But when he saw on the school forum that Han Xuewei provided Lin Yi with an expensive Mercedes-Benz as part of her dowry, he was utterly shocked. After learning this, many guys at school also realized Han Xuewei was the epitome of a proper "rich and beautiful"dy,pletely out of reach for someone from an ordinary family. Lin Yi had already parked the car and was walking toward Han Xuewei. Today, Lin Yi was dressed in very casual attire. She was tall and fair-skinned, whichplemented the clothes perfectly. And that handsome face of hers, paired with the clothing, made her look extremely elegant. On closer inspection, she was much better looking than Shen Wenjun. At that point, Shen Wenjun also noticed Lin Yi''s elegance and his expression turned to one of amazement. He, in fact, oftenpared himself to Lin Yi in secret, although Lin Yi''s regr attire was quite casual. Just like today, Lin Yi''s style was still very rxed, but her natural good looks and height already put her a cut above him. At this moment, Li Lanxue was also slightly shocked. Lin Yi, when properly dressed, had her attractiveness soar, "zoom, zoom, zoom," skyrocketing upward. In the end, it was all thanks to her good genes. Shen Wenjun, on the other hand, needed a good outfit to elevate his entire aura, and in this respect, he was streets behind Lin Yi. Li Lanxue looked at Lin Yi, then shifted her gaze to Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei was wearing a casual long dress today that made her look gentle and elegant. Although pretty, it didn''t seem as luxurious as her own outfit. She, on the other hand, was wearing a high-end dress, purposely tight around the chest and studded with many diamonds, sparkling as she walked down the street. Today was the ss reunion she had specially organized, so she would not allow anyone to outshine her. What Li Lanxue didn''t know at the time was that Shen Wenjun didn''t find her dress ttering at all. Especially her intentionally tightened waist and snug chest. Given that Li Lanxue''s bust was average at best, and her cinching to create curves in the middle, it didn''t look beautiful, instead it seemed particrly forced. But at this moment, Li Lanxue was unaware of herck of self-awareness. She felt she looked stunning and walked straight over to Han Xuewei. With a contemptuous expression, she opened her mouth and said, "Han Xuewei, you hesitated so much when you were invited today, I thought you wouldn''te." Li Lanxue said this, her gaze fixed on Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei immediately frowned. She knew Li Lanxue, and it seemed she was here to provoke her again, though her demeanor remained indifferent. Li Lanxue, while puffing out her chest, noticed that although Han Xuewei was also dressed in a long gown, not having deliberately cinched her waist, the drapes of her skirt still effortlessly outlined Han Xuewei''s figure and proud chest. This alone was something she could not achieve! At that moment, Li Lanxue was clutching an exquisite handbag, her nails digging into the real leather. Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Jealousy At this point, Li Lanxue was almost furious to death. She originally thought that Han Xuewei was just wearing an ordinary dress, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that Han Xuewei had such a superior figure. Before, Han Xuewei always wore rtively loose clothing, and Li Lanxue didn''t really pay attention to it. Even though Han Xuewei had put on some weight after having a child, her recovery was quite good, and her bnced figure had just a bit of fleshiness, which actually made her look particrly tempting. Just seeing how good Han Xuewei''s figure was, Li Lanxue naturally felt anger. She finally understood why Shen Wenjun had been staring straight at Han Xuewei when they first arrived. She was somewhat annoyed, and at this time, when Han Xuewei heard her words, she simply responded very gently, "Yes, since you invited me so warmly today, of course I had toe, otherwise you would definitely be disappointed!" Hearing Han Xuewei''s words, Li Lanxue also detected the malice in her tone, and immediately let out a cold snort. "Yes, when I arrived earlier, I ran into you both, and I even saw just now, your husband came in a Mercedes, which must be rented. I saw you two together at the building at noon, and it was not this car he was driving then." Li Lanxue spoke coldly, having made a point earlier to nce several times at Lin Yi''s car. That was just a several-hundred-thousand-dor car, certainly nothing remarkable, but now he hade driving this luxury car. It was obvious he had deliberatelye to show off. Renting such a car wouldn''t have been cheap. She hadn''t expected that Han Xuewei, who usually seemed so meek, could put on such a front. Hearing these words, Shen Wenjun immediately showed a look of astonishment. Li Lanxue was really brainless. Had she not seen the sensational news on the forums before? All she focused on were the topics targeting Han Xuewei, and now she was making a fool of herself in front of everyone. That car was the very one Han Xuewei brought as a dowry when she married Lin Yi. At this time, Shen Wenjun felt some panic and immediately grabbed Li Lanxue, saying, "What are you thinking? That car was personally offered as a dowry by her father for her. Her father runs a hotel here, didn''t you know?" Shen Wenjun said this in a flurry, causing Li Lanxue''s face to drastically change. She furrowed her brows and looked at Han Xuewei in astonishment. Back in their college days, Han Xuewei had always kept a low profile. The supplies she used were simr to those of ordinary students, and her clothes were frommon brands, despite knowing that her family''s background was pretty good. But she had never thought in that direction. After all, Han Xuewei never really used luxury items, and now seeing Han Xuewei made her eyes widen in surprise. Han Xuewei was aware of what Li Lanxue''s expression meant at this moment and immediately curled her lips into a smile, saying, "That''s right! She''s not wrong. I just came to join the gathering today. I don''t want to hear you purposely making things difficult or saying anything, because in the end, the only person embarrassed will be you." Han Xuewei said coldly, feeling genuinely angry. She didn''t understand why Li Lanxue always seemed to seize the opportunity to deliberately trouble her. If she didn''t make her stance clear, that woman might never stop. After Han Xuewei finished speaking, she took Lin Yi by the hand and headed forward. Lin Yi was also a bit surprised at this moment. It was the first time he had seen Han Xuewei so assertive. He curled his lips slightly and couldn''t help but reach out to touch Han Xuewei''s cheek. Han Xuewei''s cheeks were flushed as she nced at him. She felt very justified about her attitude just now and suddenlyughed happily. At this moment, Li Lanxue watched their retreating figures, immediately her forehead veins bulging with rage as she red at them viciously. Her face was an ashen shade of iron, a torrent of jealousy consuming her entire being. It turned out that Han Xuewei was not only the university''s beauty queen but also a concealed rich second generation. How could she possibly ept such a vast disparity? Now, all Shen Wenjun could do was shake his head helplessly while looking at Li Lanxue. Li Lanxue pondered, then cast a cold nce at Shen Wenjun. After all, he was a sessful individual who had returned from studying abroad, an elite, while Lin Yi was just a man dependent on a woman''s support, nothing to worry about indeed. At the banquetter on, I will definitely humiliate your husband well. Your husband truly deserves to be called a kept man. Since the family is so wealthy, only managing to find a man who lives off a woman, it should be quite the joke by then. At this thought, a spiteful sneer formed on the corners of Li Lanxue''s mouth. At that moment, Shen Wenjun was unaware of what Li Lanxue was thinking and could only follow her and walk ahead. However, Shen Wenjun was well aware that Li Lanxue was not someone to be trifled with and had most likely already begun scheming; yet there was little he could do about such matters and had no choice but to apany her. "Who would have thought the man Han Xue found would look so virtuous but in reality is just a man who lives off a woman. Look at the clothes he was wearing earlier, just an ordinary brand. To my eyes, he''s just a man who stays at home looking after kids, utterly useless. He even dared to speak to me in that manner previously. Later, you must cooperate with me to give them a good lesson; that woman is just too arrogant." As Li Lanxue spoke, she strode forward, while Shen Wenjun furrowed his brow. He wasn''t very familiar with Lin Yi''s family situation. But as far as he knew, Lin Yi''s family seemed to be in business as well, and the two families should be well-matched in social status. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate Lin Yi''sposed demeanor, so to prevent Li Lanxue from embarrassing herself, he said, "I think their family must be quite wealthy, seeing as they are in business." Hearing this, Li Lanxue just snorted coldly and sarcastically responded, "That''s really funny. Do you just believe whatever they say? I know about the Lin Family''s enterprise, but isn''t theirpany just a shellpany?" "My dad has been in the business world for so long and has hardlye across the Lin Family. I suppose that CEO is just putting on an act outside, probably even thepany is just registered to deceive people." Li Lanxue was saying this with full confidence, and all Shen Wenjun could do was nod in agreement. "Indeed, I haven''t seen Lin Yi busy with anything; he doesn''t seem to have a job." What they didn''t know was that Lin Yi''s father had actually retired from thepany voluntarily due to its cumbersome affairs. He chose to manage it independently, and whether he made money was not that important to him. Regardless, Lin Yi had already earned back several years of thepany''s profits by now. Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Black Truffle Steak Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun didn''t say anything more and quickly made their way to the second-floor hall. This time, Li Lanxue had deliberately chosen the second floor of the hotel for the gathering. Above the second floor was a veryrge club that could amodate several hundred people, which was extremely spacious and luxurious. There were also quite a few luxury decorations within, perfect for taking photos. Some of the female ssmates were very fond of such exquisite things, and they would gather around to take photos. In the center, tables were set up for the banquet, and there were only a few dozen ssmates. However, some people would bring their partners, which added up to about a hundred people. But the banquet hall was indeed a bit toorge, so she had arranged the banquet in a buffet style this time. Many students really enjoyed this sort of atmosphere, grabbing whatever they liked! In this respect, many students were satisfied, having quietlyplimented Li Lanxue. Although Li Lanxue didn''t show it, her eyes were filled with pride. Her dad was the president of a listedpany, and she could easily afford this expense. Most of the ssmates had also arrived, and at that moment, Qin Xiaoxu came over with Lin Jie. Han Xuewei also entered holding Lin Yi''s hand. Lin Yi was very tall, and his handsome appearance instantly attracted many gazes. Han Xuewei became the center of attention. She wore a simple and elegant long dress. It was a verymon outfit, but on her, it exuded a unique charm, and everyone in the room had their eyes fixated on her. The school beauty was indeed the school beauty; even casually dressed, she could outshine everyone! What''s more, people were surprised by Lin Yi at her side. Lin Yi''s looks were also extremely charming, and among all the male ssmates, he was clearly the most outstanding one. At this moment, everybody''s eyes were on Han Xuewei. Even some of the female ssmates couldn''t help but exim in admiration. "Goodness! Our school beauty is really something else, standing out with her aura!" "Of course, and her husband is also good-looking. I initially thought she''d marry someone average-looking, but her husband is quite the catch!" "Hey! You guys don''t know? I heard her husband was from our school and in the same grade, but I had never seen him before. Who knew he was such a hunk!" "Oh, you guys are unaware of their low profile, I heard they took a break from school a while back to go have a baby!" "Yeah, I''ve heard those little babies are gorgeous. The school forum went crazy over it, don''t you know?" "That forum''s been shut down a long time ago, no idea which big shot did it, managing to close the forum and have all the photos taken down. But I''ve still heard some whispers and rumors!" "They had their wedding ceremony not long ago, and we weren''t there." "That''s so mysterious, but look at her husband, so dashing. What do you think he does for a living?" "Probably in the same line of business as Han Xuewei''s family, I guess. All I know is that Han Xuewei''s family is very wealthy." The crowd was abuzz with spection, admiring Han Xuewei''s beautiful look, with many girls calling Han Xuewei the epitome of a modern-day ''rich and beautiful''! "I heard her dad opened a hotel near the Wenqu Building. The food there is really excellent and great value for money. I visited their ce once, and their attitude toward people and customers is really good. It''s truly a cultivated family; whatever they do is very high-level..." Everyone was talking about it, their conversation moving from Han Xuewei''s life at university to her personal family background. It all boiled down to envy, and at that moment, Qin Xiaoxu saw Han Xuewei and her group approaching and couldn''t help but reveal an excited expression, beckoning them over. Han Xuewei and Lin Yi looked up and saw Qin Xiaoxu and immediately headed towards her. Qin Xiaoxu was very surprised. She picked up her purse and said right away, "The ce just got so crowded, but luckily I was quick and put my purse here, snagging two good spots!" "This is right in the middle, I think sitting here we will definitely get the tastiest food!" As Qin Xiaoxu spoke, she happily reached for Han Xuewei''s hand. Han Xuewei sat down beside her and, seeing the food piled up in front of her, couldn''t help but speak, "You girl, can you think of anything other than eating? Look at you go, Lin Jie is even watching from the side." As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Jie felt somewhat embarrassed. But when Qin Xiaoxu lifted her head to look at Lin Jie, she showed a disdainful expression, "Let him watch, if he doesn''t want to eat, that''s his problem!" Qin Xiaoxu really didn''t care about maintaining a girlish image at all, Lin Jie felt awkward watching her behave like this. Han Xuewei just watched the two of them, shaking her head at their attitude of disdain for one another. These two were obviously the most well-matched, yet both behaved so childishly. At that moment, Lin Yi tidied up the things on the table and then said, "Wife, what would you like to eat? I''ll go get it for you." Lin Yi was indeed very considerate, his subtle actions taking great care of Han Xuewei. When Han Xuewei heard this, she nodded and said, "Husband, I want to eat pasta and steak! Han Xuewei had hardly eaten anything today and was hungry by now, with a hearty appetite. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi turned back to look forward, where the steak from this hotel was quite famous, and since Li Lanxue offered to treat, many female students were fond of steak, so a long queue had already formed at the front. Lin Yi frowned at the sight of the line ahead. Queuing up seemed too troublesome, it would probably be better to just order directly from the restaurant. "Wait a bit, wife, I''ll order for you now, the line over there is too long, I think it will be faster if I order a steak to be delivered!" Since there were so many people queuing for steak, Lin Yi didn''t mind queuing, but those steaks were almost all synthetic. In a ce like this, the hotel might only splurge on a few hundred yuan for a steak. If the prices were too high, it would be avish expense for the numerous guests, and sales wouldn''t hold up. After all, even though there are customers for high-priced steaks, the general public still leans towards more affordable dining. So Lin Yi waved over a waiter right away, asked for a menu, and spotted the most expensive steak, priced nearly at three thousand yuan, named the ck Truffle Steak. That was the truly authentic steak in the restaurant, and Lin Yi ordered one right away. At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu, with her mouth still full of pasta, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I want one too¡­ I want one too!" Hearing this, Han Xuewei smiled slightly and said, "Then let''s order two." Chapter 172 Loves to Freeload Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu nodded in satisfaction and shed a heart-shaped hand gesture towards Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei was amused toughter by her antics, while Lin Yi simply watched from the sidelines. Lin Yi, of course, felt he had to look after Qin Xiaoxu, after all, with Qin Xiaoxu by Han Xuewei''s side, he could tell that Han Xuewei was visibly much happier. Lin Yi stood up and said, "Vivi, I''ll go get you some snacks. You haven''t eaten much today, let''s get something to fill you up first!" Having said that, Lin Yi walked to the front, and this action caught the attention of Li Lanxue. She had been watching Lin Yi all along, as she was the host of the party and it was her treat, with everyone ordering their own food. She was curious about what Lin Yi would order, so when she saw the waiter holding the bill, she walked straight forward and stopped the waiter. Seeing that it was today''s hostess, the waiter lifted his head to look at Li Lanxue, somewhat perplexed. But Li Lanxue simply reached out and took the bill from his hand, and upon seeing that Lin Yi had ordered two servings of ck truffle steak, her expression turned steely. A serving of this ck truffle steak cost nearly three thousand yuan. Lin Yi was really splurging ¡ª was he taking advantage of her generosity? He had ordered two servings at once! Even though her family was affluent, they weren''t necessarily that generous, especially since the costs here were already high. The venue and food together added up could not make this gathering happen with less than a hundred thousand yuan. She was holding this event to showcase her family''s status as sessful entrepreneurs in Xiangcheng, and naturally, she couldn''t let her ssmates pay. Therefore, many of her ssmates were very conscious and wouldn''t dare pick such expensive items! However, Lin Yi''s actions, in her view, were shameless freeloading, and at this moment, her gaze towards Han Xuewei revealed contempt. Sure enough, the poor love to freeload! People from small ces, who haven''t seen the world, would probably only have this chance in their lives to eat a steak worth thousands. But at this moment, Li Lanxue was unaware of the other side''s perspective, and what she didn''t know was that Lin Yi had specifically told the waiter that he would not be mooching off this steak. Furthermore, he had also checked the price. These prices should not be considered cheap to the person footing the bill. If everyone were to order carelessly like this, the gathering could end up costing nearly five hundred thousand. He didn''t want to take advantage of anyone, so he asked the waiter to bring the food and bill at the same time. Li Lanxue, oblivious to these details and having not asked the waiter, simply handed back the bill and stormed off in a huff. Her disdain for Lin Yi intensified in her heart! People from the backwaters are all the same! At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu, who had been eating, suddenly stopped and turned back to speak to Han Xuewei, "Vivi, I think I just saw a guy I''m very familiar with. He seemed to have chased after me before, and today he''s here too, sitting right behind us!" Hearing Qin Xiaoxu''s words, Lin Jie was taken aback. Although Qin Xiaoxu was whispering to Han Xuewei, her voice was perhaps a bit too loud! He heard it loud and clear from beside them. That girl actually had suitors¡ªthat was quite a surprise to him! At that moment, Han Xuewei leaned into Qin Xiaoxu''s ear and said, "Really? I think I''ve seen that guy before too." Han Xuewei had been the subject of Qin Xiaoxu''s venting several times before because she really didn''t like that guy, and now Qin Xiaoxu earnestly nodded her head, "Yes, I saw him. He even brought his girlfriend with him!" Han Xuewei couldn''t help but look up towards the front. She had little impression of other men. Even among the men who had pursued her in the past, she might not even remember their names. During her college days in Xiangcheng, the only male student who had made asting impression on her was Lin Yi. She remembered the first time she went to school, Lin Yi had helped her out. When she saw Lin Yi''s handsome face, a very good impression was imprinted on her heart. Afterward, her interest in Lin Yi grew, and through getting to know him, she found that Lin Yi was a very considerate person. What''s more, an important point for her was his deep respect for women¡ªan internal respect that fascinated her. How could she not like such an outstanding guy? Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu spoke up again: "It''s that guy sitting at the back table, the one in the middle wearing a white shirt, and his girlfriend is sitting beside him!" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei finally looked up and said, "Didn''t he continuously pursue you before? Now he seems to have found a girlfriend." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu nodded andmented, "I saw him on social media before. People say he is working in a corporate office for an overseaspany now, the sry should be quite high. For a newly graduated college student, that position is already pretty good." "What''s gotten into you all of a sudden? You used to despise him, didn''t you?" Qin Xiaoxu replied shaking her head, "Let it be. I don''t want to hold a grudge over past events anymore." Han Xuewei''s expression turned sour as she said, "That guy didn''t stop badmouthing you before, and everything he said was nderous." As Qin Xiaoxu''s good sister, Han Xuewei naturally wanted to stand up for her, so seeing Qin Xiaoxu so easily let things go made her visibly displeased. But Qin Xiaoxu didn''t mind and simply said, "If others so easily believe those rumors, it also shows they actually didn''t care about me much. So it''s better to let it be." Qin Xiaoxu seemed quite at peace with it, but Han Xuewei held a grudge against that guy. It was because she had heard that he had once gifted Qin Xiaoxu a branded bracelet, but since Qin Xiaoxu didn''t like him, she refused it. However, he then spread rumors that Qin Xiaoxu was a gold-digger, a woman who liked to cling to the rich and powerful, which was why she didn''t ept his gift. In short, he insinuated she looked down on his ''poor'' status and preferred to be with wealthy men, which led to very unpleasant gossip. When Han Xuewei first heard about it, she nearly confronted him on behalf of Qin Xiaoxu, but Qin Xiaoxu stopped her. Now, after so much time, Han Xuewei had almost forgotten about the incident until Qin Xiaoxu brought it up again, and only then did she remember. Chapter 173 Add a Contact Method However, at today''s gathering, Han Xuewei didn''t want to talk about these uninteresting matters and said, "I think you''re quite fine as you are now, you don''t really need to date, you can go straight to marriage!" As Han Xuewei spoke, she nced at Lin Jie. Lin Jie at that moment was stealthily listening to their conversation and was startled by Han Xuewei''s remark, promptly fixing an expression of surprise and sitting upright. Seeing Lin Jie''sical reaction, Han Xuewei managed a slight smile. In Han Xuewei''s opinion, Lin Jie was undoubtedly very fond of Qin Xiaoxu, after all, the two seemed so well-matched and got along so harmoniously. As long as feelings developed over time, marriage wasn''t out of the question. At this, Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help butugh, looking back at Han Xuewei, then turning to Lin Jie, she couldn''t help but say, "Vivi, what are you thinking? You don''t actually want me to marry this guy, do you?" Han Xuewei just smiled, "I think it''s quite good, Lin Jie is really a great person, and both his parents are very warm-hearted, plus the family conditions are good!" "Although the age difference isn''t perfect, older woman-younger man rtionships are in vogue now. I think you can rest assured to entrust yourself to him; he''s quite caring!" Han Xuewei couldn''t stop talking whenever the topic of Lin Jie came up, as if she was nning to settle the marriage right then and there. Qin Xiaoxu felt overwhelmed; previously pressured by her own parents, and now Han Xuewei was on her case too, she could only reluctantly say, "Eat your steak, let''s not talk about this." Meanwhile, Han Xuewei just chuckled and lowered her head to eat. Qin Xiaoxu, tired of eating, sat to the side and yed with her phone. Some people had yet to arrive, and the gathering hadn''t truly started yet. At that moment, a man seated behind Qin Xiaoxu lifted his gaze to look over at her. His name was Lin Zhiyuan, and he had noticed Qin Xiaoxu as soon as he arrived. This spot was chosen deliberately by him so he could have a clearer view of Qin Xiaoxu''s every move. He was always very confident in himself and had not expected his pursuit of Qin Xiaoxu to end in failure. Qin Xiaoxu had rejected him outright in front of many people, causing him to lose all face. The flower he couldn''t acquire, he wished only to destroy! The girlfriend beside him was a female colleague he had known before. Although the woman was not as beautiful as Qin Xiaoxu, her personality was better than Qin Xiaoxu''s, not as willful, and both her figure and appearance were quite passable. He could get along with such women, and he truly didn''t understand how Qin Xiaoxu dared to reject him! He had saved several months'' worth of living expenses just to buy Qin Xiaoxu a certain brand''s bracelet, a piece that was worth tens of thousands! So now, he no longer harbored admiration for Qin Xiaoxu, mostly just jealousy and resentment. He was very confident about his current self, after all, how many couldnd such a good job just after graduating from college? Stable job, high sry, and he even had a girlfriend now - he might not be considered sessful, but at least his life was prosperous and stable. If Qin Xiaoxu had followed him back then, she could have had a decent life as well. Yet, what he hadn''t expected was for Qin Xiaoxu to reject him outright. What he wouldn''t expect even more was that Qin Xiaoxu never took him seriously at all. For her, Lin Zhiyuan''s sry of tens of thousands was simply not enough. Qin Xiaoxu was a true heiress. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxu had not revealed her family''s wealth, otherwise Lin Zhiyuan wouldn''t have given up pursuing her so easily. People like him, always looking to climb the socialdder, probably see a rich wife as the ultimate goal. The girlfriend he currently has is merely a cure for loneliness. At this moment, Lin Zhiyuan was staring intently at Qin Xiaoxu, then nced at his own girlfriend. To be honest, just sitting there, Qin Xiaoxu''s demeanor was far superior to that of his current girlfriend. Though his girlfriend had a decent body and face, she was only average. Qin Xiaoxu, on the other hand, was delicately nurtured from a young age, and there was noparison in terms of refinement and poise. Feeling restless, he stood up and said, "I''m going to have a word with an old ssmate. Wait here for me, and I''lle and join you in a bit!" As Lin Zhiyuan spoke, the girl nodded her head. She didn''t have the slightest doubt about Lin Zhiyuan, as he had a way with words that was particrly reassuring. During the few months they had been together, she hadn''t noticed anything amiss. So she was very confident in Lin Zhiyuan. Lin Zhiyuan then approached Qin Xiaoxu, while Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also walked towards them. Li Lanxue noticed Lin Zhiyuan and was somewhat surprised. She recognized this ssmate who seemed to have pursued Qin Xiaoxu before, but she wasn''t very familiar with Lin Zhiyuan, so she didn''t greet him. She just walked to the opposite side of Han Xuewei''s group. After all, Han Xuewei was the protagonist of the drama unfolding before her, and she couldn''t miss any detail. Just then, Lin Zhiyuan directly sat down in front of Qin Xiaoxu. He immediately pped Qin Xiaoxu on the back, causing her to turn her head sharply, clearly startled by the gesture. Lin Zhiyuan''s face was all too familiar to her, but being so close now made her feel a bit flustered. She almost choked on her red wine and, coughing, looked at Lin Zhiyuan. Lin Jie reacted very quickly, immediately protecting Qin Xiaoxu and pulling out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth and the wine stains on her dress. He wiped everything off neatly and proficiently, his actions neither awkward nor intrusive. Lin Zhiyuan watched this scene unfold with some surprise, his gaze settling on Lin Jie, sizing him up. Meanwhile, Lin Jie snorted coldly and said, "I am Qin Xiaoxu''s boyfriend. Do you have a problem with that? You''ve been staring at us since you came in!" Reminded by these words, Lin Zhiyuan realized his expression had been somewhat presumptuous a moment earlier, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "That''s not what I meant..." "I''m Qin Xiaoxu''s ssmate. I just came over to say hello!" Lin Jie had been listening in on Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewei''s whispers, so he was well aware of what the man before him had done to elicit such aversion from Qin Xiaoxu, which now filled him with disgust. He looked alright, but his character was truly reprehensible. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu spoke up, "Is there something you needed from me?" Hearing her words, his face lit up with a joyous expression, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Qin Xiaoxu, I''ve really reflected on what happened before. It was my fault, and I''m apologizing to you. I just hope you can forgive me!" Expecting something serious, Qin Xiaoxu replied promptly, "It doesn''t matter, I have already forgotten about it. You don''t need to dwell on it!" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly became excited and said, "Then, may I add your contact information again?" Lin Zhiyuan''s expression was one of earnest pleading. Witnessing this, both Lin Jie and Han Xuewei were a bit surprised, while Qin Xiaoxu found herself in an awkward position and could only say, "My contact information is in the ss group. You can add me there." Chapter 174 Winner in Life Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan immediately showed a delighted expression and couldn''t help saying, "That''s really great, Qin Xiaoxu, I thought you were still mad at me!" His words were somewhat intimate, as if the two of them had a special rtionship, which immediately made Lin Jie somewhat dissatisfied. He directly said, "Qin Xiaoxu, you''ve really grown some nerve, I''m your boyfriend, and now you''re adding another guy on WeChat right in front of me, is that appropriate?" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan immediately defended himself, "We are just ssmates after all, and I have a girlfriend now. I added Xiaoxu purely out of ssmates'' friendship, I won''t disturb you two!" His words reeked of sarcasm. In fact, Lin Zhiyuan had no so-called boundaries at all, she was just a girlfriend, not a wife, Lin Zhiyuan certainly didn''t care. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu had no choice but to say, "That''s right, we are just ssmates. You must have quite a few female ssmates in your phone too!" Lin Jie wanted to say something else, but was infuriated by Qin Xiaoxu. But Qin Xiaoxu didn''t take it seriously, after all, their rtionship wasn''t truly that of a couple, but feigned; Lin Jie had no ce to interfere so much. Naturally, Lin Jie thought the same, he turned his head, but he was getting more and more annoyed inside. At this moment, Han Xuewei watched the two of them and couldn''t help butugh. These two guys were just too proud and arrogant, neither willing to give in nor apologize, just at a stalemate. If there wasn''t some reinforcement to push them, they probably would never make any progress in this lifetime. Han Xuewei watched them and resolved that if she had the chance, she definitely must y matchmaker for the two of them, as they really seemed so perfect for each other. Meanwhile, the situation here had also been noticed by Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun. Li Lanxue looked coldly at Lin Zhiyuan at this moment. She had no interest in Lin Zhiyuan, for he was a person of no use in herwork. She wouldn''t associate with such a person, after all, just a wage earner. The people she needed to know were those useful in the business world, like Shen Wenjun, who had connected with her because of business matters. So at this moment, when Li Lanxue looked at them, she waited until Lin Zhiyuan had left before approaching Han Xuewei, toasted her with a ss of wine, and said, "Han Xuewei, we were quite familiar with each other back at school, but almost everyone has not yet graduated. I heard before that you and your husband dropped out halfway, and you probably haven''t graduated yet, right?" Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei frowned. She had a hunch that Li Lanxue was definitely up to some mischief again. Despite this, she still replied amiably, "Yes, we need to go back to school when the term starts this year. We must get the graduation certificate, and I also want to pursue postgraduate studies..." Hearing Han Xuewei''s words, Li Lanxue immediately revealed a mocking expression and said, "Is that so? But we''ve heard you now have three kids at home. You''re really amazing, having triplets. Your husband hasn''t even graduated from college yet and the whole weight of the family has fallen on him. Can he afford it?" After she finished speaking, she sized up Han Xuewei and could see that Han Xuewei''splexion had already turned rather unpleasant. The many ssmates around also showed curious expressions, and Li Lanxue continued, "I heard before that the industry on your husband''s side hasn''t been doing well these past few years, do you need help from ssmates?" Upon hearing these words, everyone present began to buzz with excitement. Li Lanxue''s insinuation was that Lin Yi was jobless and even had to support arge family, which surely meant he was relying on Han Xuewei. Isn''t this just a clear case of living off a woman? Han Xuewei certainly understood Li Lanxue''s meaning and directly responded, "I think you may be mistaken. Lin Yi has been taking care of my father''s hotel business, and my husband has amassed a substantial amount of money from his time as a student. He has made quite a bit from investments and stocks, so it''s not as embarrassing as you imagine. Moreover, his studies have not been dyed." Han Xuewei despised Li Lanxue''s insinuating tone, even if she were to speak of herself¡ªbut why should Lin Yi be ndered?! Thus, at that moment, she did not speak as softly as usual. Hearing this, Li Lanxue immediately furrowed her brows and said, "I haven''t heard about these investments, and I don''t understand them well! But as far as I know, whether it''s investing or trading stocks, these are difficult endeavors, right? If there are losses, it bes even harder. Truly, you can be honest¡ªit doesn''t matter. We''re all ssmates here; if we can help you, we will. With your husband out of a job and you taking care of three children, we just can''t stand by and watch..." Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjun also chimed in from the side, "That''s right, Xue Mei. Honestly, we''re just concerned, and why not have Lin Yi work at ourpany? The sry definitely won''t be low!" As these words were spoken, Lin Jie stood to the side with furrowed brows and stood up. How dared these people take advantage of Lin Yi''s absence to say he was living off a woman¡ªthis was utterly absurd! So Lin Jie looked straight at them and retorted, "You people are really something, defaming and insulting someone without any evidence. Do you think you have any dignity?" Then, his voice grew louder, echoing around the room, "I tell you, ten of youbined aren''t worth as much as my brother. My brother is already tired enough just running Supreme Grade Supermarkets!" "Ever heard of Supreme Grade Supermarkets? The biggest chain of supermarkets in Huaxia. He alone holds ten percent of the equity, and the profits and dividends amount to over ten billion. Who do you think you''re looking down on?!" Speaking somewhat indignantly, Lin Jie mentioned that the Supreme Grade Supermarkets was something Lin Yi had specifically told him about, which the two brothers were managing together. In fact, this venture was also a reward given to Lin Yi by the system, but as Lin Yicked the time to manage it, he had entrusted the responsibility to Lin Jie and their parents. At that moment, hearing these words, the surrounding crowd all showed astonished expressions. Supreme Grade Supermarkets was an essential part of their daily lives. It could be said that this establishment had woven itself into everyone''s life. With a quick search on their phones, they found Lin Yi''s name among the shareholders,plete with his photo. Everyone gasped in shock. Supreme Grade Supermarkets was a business with assets worth several hundred billion. With so many chain stores nationwide, owning ten percent of the shares tranted to a fortune of several billion. Everyone looked at Han Xuewei with amazement, not expecting that she had married a hidden tycoon! And they were all still students, yet Lin Yi had be a billionaire, a true winner in life! Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Invitation to Dinner At this moment, everyone was looking at Han Xuewei, who stood at the center, poised and graceful. Suddenly, they all understood, how could the school beauty possibly marry an ordinary man? "Oh my god, I can''t believe the school beauty''s husband is actually a billionaire worth tens of billions!" "Yeah, who would''ve thought her husband was that rich? But I saw it earlier too, her husband is indeed very handsome. That means the luxury items given at the wedding were all real!" "Exactly! To buy things worth several hundred million as if it''s nothing, it seems it wasn''t an exaggeration." "No way, what are you guys talking about? How could anyone give gifts worth several hundred million?" "It''s true, I saw the pictures posted on the forum at that time, I couldn''t believe it... but now it seems to be real!" Some had already set their sights on the essories Han Xuewei was wearing today. Unbeknownst to Han Xuewei herself, her ne was a nationally-limited edition, priced at tens of millions. But a female ssmate immediately eximed, "Look! Isn''t that the nationally-limited custom Holy Maiden crystal?" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Han Xuewei. Then someone spoke up, "It''s indeed the Holy Maiden crystal, I can''t be wrong! Under the light, the Holy Maiden crystal seems dim, but in areas with no light, it shines incredibly brilliantly, something ordinary diamonds can''t achieve." Only then did the crowd realize that the ne Han Xuewei was wearing was indeed in that state. At this time, Han Xuewei herself was also slightly astonished, she had not expected Lin Yi to give her such a valuable item. Previously, she had only worn it as a normal ne. Hearing these words, people were very surprised and began discussing among themselves. On the side, Lin Zhiyuan also disyed a look of shock, he had thought his own level was quite high-end, but had not expected that among his ssmates there would be a boss worth tens of billions. How could this be possible? Wouldn''t his sry of tens of thousands seemughable inparison? And now, seeing Lin Jie''s indifferent demeanor, does that mean Lin Jie is the brother of the tycoon worth tens of billions? And also the boyfriend of Qin Xiaoxu, how could this be possible? They were still in university and Lin Yi already owned tens of billions in wealth,pletely overturning his understanding. Moreover, there had been news of hard times for Lin Yi''s family business before, so how did it suddenly turn into owning billions in assets? Therefore, at this moment, everyone showed a look of surprise, while Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun naturally did not believe it. Li Lanxue looked at Lin Jie and snorted coldly, "Who are you? Who let you spout nonsense here!" Hearing this, Lin Jie couldn''t help but roll his eyes at her and retorted, "I am Lin Yi''s cousin, and I''m naturally aware of how many businesses my brother has. Moreover, you can check on Heavenly Eye, no need to question me here!" Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise Shen Wenjun was also somewhat displeased at this moment and directly said, "The things you''re saying have no basis, and besides, who knows if that information he posted was forged." "What did I fabricate?" Just at that moment, a chilly voice rang out. Lin Yi held in his hand a small cake, the very one he had taken quite some time to select, finally settling on Han Xuewei''s favorite vor, even going so far as to sprinkle it with some extra toppings himself. At that moment, he heard the crowd chattering around him, and the subject of their conversation was none other than his own affairs. Nevertheless, he strolled over with an air of nonchnce. He directly handed the cake to Han Xuewei and said, "This is your favorite strawberry cake. I didn''t make it too sweet, so you can eat it first." Experience new tales on empire Han Xuewei was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as Lin Yipletely ignored the people around them. Many nearby wore looks of envy. Yet Shen Wenjun felt humiliated, his eyes gradually reddening as he huffed, "We''re all adults here; there''s no need to lie in this setting. Furthermore, the idea that a mere university student would possess a fortune of billions is utterly absurd. Supreme Grade supermarkets are not open to just anyone as shareholders." Upon hearing this, Lin Yi turned his head and red coldly at Shen Wenjun. At that moment, Shen Wenjun, feeling the weight of Lin Yi''s stare, grew somewhat irritated, and Li Lanxue stepped forward to say, "Lin Yi, there''s really no need for you to argue. If you''re capable, why not just cover tonight''s bill? Then I might actually believe you have some power!" Li Lanxue spoke with full confidence, looking down upon someone who would mooch even a high-end ck truffle steak. She was certain that Lin Yi simply couldn''t afford it and that eventually, Han Xuewei would have to step in to deal with the aftermath. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi replied straightforwardly, "My fellow students, go ahead and ce your orders. I''ll cover the bill for everyone tonight!" Lin Yi spoke coolly, and Han Xuewei immediately reached out to grasp his hand, signaling him not to do this. After all, it wasn''t their group''s gathering today, so why should he foot the bill? And making such a disy was hardly going to win Lin Yi any favors. But Lin Yi simply didn''t care about the money, and he snorted confidently, "It''s no big deal, Vivi. These are your ssmates; it''s nothing to treat them once in a while!" Lin Yi''s words reached everyone''s ears, and all were struck with astonishment. This was a top-notch hotel with no small tab; it carried many luxury foods as well. At first, the ssmates hesitated to order, but after Lin Yi''s deration, settling the bill would take at least half a million. Lin Yi was just a university student who hadn''t graduated yet, without even a job, and his ssmates were likewise skeptical about his alleged multibillion fortune. In the meantime, Shen Wenjun, seeing that Lin Yi was provoked into taking the bait, revealed a smug expression and said, "ssmate Lin Yi, you really surprise me. Even if our family''spany is worth a few billion in the market, iming that you have tens of billions is a bit much, even for saving face. There''s really no need for you to cover tonight''s meal." Shen Wenjun''s words were clear and filled with mockery; he just wanted Lin Yi to admit hisck of ability. But at that moment, Lin Yi shook his head and replied indifferently, "I''ll cover it. Isn''t that what you all want? Well, it''s settled¡ªtonight I''m treating!" Upon hearing these words, Shen Wenjun''s face grew even more unsightly. He had been coddled from a young age, always a figure of affluence and status. Yet Lin Yi had casually imed to have a fortune of tens of billions, something Shen Wenjun would never believe. Many ssmates shared his perspective. Tens of billions was just too preposterous, but Shen Wenjun''s family wealth was well known to them all. Chapter 176 Chapter 176 The Black Gold Dragon Card At this moment, Shen Wenjun stood at the center, with many ssmates showing ingratiating expressions, walking over to him, and toasting him one after another. Many people started to talk. "Oh my god, do you guys know? Shen Wenjun studied abroad, and he has now inherited his father''s business, which is worth ten billion in the market!" "I heard he''s even dating Li Lanxue. Both their families are well off¡ªit seems they are really a match made in heaven!" "We''re talking about Shen Wenjun, right now he''s definitely the richest second-generation rich in our ss. As for Lin Yi, we really haven''t heard anything about him..." Many people were discussing, but they weren''t very clear about Lin Yi''s personal situation. And at that moment, Li Lanxue also showed an arrogant expression, looking coldly at Lin Yi with a sarcastic and mean demeanor. Someone, trying to please Li Lanxue, chimed in. "Your boyfriend is really sessful now, unlike some who boast about having tens of billions of fortune but don''t even dare to show it!" "Right, how could that be possible? Owning tens of billions before even graduating from college? Then might as well im I''m the biggest international entrepreneur!" As they spoke, some opportunistic individuals burst into a hugeughter. Seizing the opportunity, Li Lanxue added, "You''re right, they just love to swell their faces to look fat." "Just now, I saw Lin Yi order two servings of the ck truffle steak. You all saw the price list just now, right? That''s the most expensive steak here, and he ordered two servings. He''s only here at this reunion to freeload a meal and drinks!" After saying that, she showed a contemptuous look, turned towards Lin Yi and said, "Since you im to have a fortune of billions, why be so miserly that you can''t even afford a steak worth a few thousand yuan!" Li Lanxue said coldly, and Shen Wenjun also showed a look of displeasure. His dislike for Lin Yi was growing. He couldn''t stand Lin Yi''s arrogance, and moreover, Lin Yi had married the woman he loved most in his life. These two things were undoubtedly an affront to him; he wanted to pierce through Lin Yi''s fa?ade himself. Hearing these words, Han Xuewei frowned. She was now somewhat at a loss, having not expected that this reunion was a trap set by Li Lanxue, just to humiliate her. Thinking of this, Han Xuewei''s expression became very unsightly, but at this time Lin Yi looked calm, lightly patted Han Xuewei''s shoulder, and walked straight to the front, to the waiter. He took out a ck Golden Dragon card from his wallet, which is unique to the Golden Dragon Banking. It was given to him by the system, and there were still tens of millions in cash left in it now. Lin Yi swiped the card, and at this moment, everyone saw the card in his hand and was shocked. Someone immediately covered their mouth, eximing, "Isn''t that the ck card from Golden Dragon Bank?" Some ssmates were surprised, looking at the card in Lin Yi''s hand, with a string of golden text engraved in pure gold. The entire card was ck, the genuine Golden Dragon card, a privilege only the top VIPs of Golden Dragon Bank could enjoy. "Oh my god, I heard that you need to have at least one hundred million in cash on the Golden Dragon card to get it. Could it be that ssmate Lin Yi really has a hundred million?!" All the people showed looks of amazement. "Don''t underestimate that one hundred million; it''s a hundred million in liquid cash, not fixed assets!" Hearing this, everyone''s expressions turned to shock, having one hundred million in liquid cash these days was truly indicative of a tycoon. At that moment, both Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also had ashen faces, looking at Lin Yi. You should know, although Li Lanxue had several businesses and a worth of more than ten billion, that money was all in fixed assets, and she only had two or three billion in liquid assets to move around. That was quite decent, but now Lin Yi had an entire hundred million in his hand. Shen Wenjun was even more troubled; their family needed a partnership with Li Lanxue because they couldn''t manage their funds. They sought a marriage alliance with each other for the sake of their family businesses. He never expected Lin Yi to be able to produce a Golden Dragon card. It wasn''t just Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun; even Han Xuewei and Qin Xiaoxu were looking at Lin Yi with suspicion and uncertainty. Han Xuewei was totally shocked; she had heard that customers of Golden Dragon Bank''s cards must have at least one hundred million in cash for registration. Could it be that Lin Yi already had a hundred million in cash before this?! Find adventures at empire This was truly too surprising, and at this moment, Lin Yi could only scratch his head awkwardly. This card was acquired through the system, and since he had not brought any other card, he could only make do with this one for now. Yet, this caught everyone''s attention, leaving him somewhat helpless, and he could only exin, "I just got this card today. I''ll exin to youter tonight, wife!" Lin Yi said, not feeling the need to exin to the onlookers, but to the people around them, these words sounded like a bombshell. A card with one hundred million in cash, so casually mentioned¡ªwith no weight to it at all? That''s one hundred million we''re talking about! He''s saying he can''t exin it right now? Could it be that Lin Yi actually has tens of billions in assets? Meanwhile, the waiter was nervously looking at Lin Yi, sessfully processing the transaction for several thousand yuan, and then expressed gratitude to Lin Yi. Lin Yi spoke calmly, "The expenses for tonight will be all on me. You can find meter to settle it. The steak I ordered just now, and the best red wine you have here, serve a portion to everyone!" Lin Yi said indifferently, turned his head and smiled. "Everyone need not be courteous with me. You''re all my wife''s ssmates, and it''s only right to look out for each other!" Hearing this, the onlookers'' eyes widened. Soon, the coveted ck truffle steaks were served to everyone, a dish costing several thousand yuan each! With nearly a hundred people here, that would already cost hundreds of thousands! That was extravagantly generous. Everyone showed an astounded and pleased expression, and Lin Yi didn''t mind at all; the assets in his hands were not limited to this card. He regarded the card as mere pocket money. At this time, no one dared to underestimate Lin Yi anymore. After all, they had never seen anyone who could so casually spend hundreds of thousands. And to think Lin Yi was actually their ssmate¡ªothers'' college years had already started to earn big money! While they were still just average students, the psychological gap was too much to bear! Everyone quieted down, looking at Lin Yi with eyes full of admiration and respect. Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Hotel Owner At this moment, Lin Yi simply walked back, himself not the kind to unt his wealth. If he really wanted to show off, this very hotel belonged to him. Did he really need to announce it as soon as he walked in? Now, as Lin Yi approached Han Xuewei, she too revealed a shocked expression and involuntarily gave Lin Yi a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie were also extremely astonished, both disying looks of admiration. Lin Yi didn''t say much more and led everyone back to their seats to continue their meal. But right then, the doors to the nearby VIP elevator opened, and several men in business suits stepped out, quickly making their way into the banquet hall. Li Lanxue looked up and noticed these tall men, with Song Jinhui, the general manager of Jinguo Hotel, in the center. Li Lanxue recognized Song Jinhui. Her family had done business with him before, which is why she had specifically arranged the gathering at this venue. After all, Song Jinhui had negotiated with her father in the past, so he would undoubtedly offer a discount as a courtesy. Therefore, she immediately went up to him with a ttering smile, and Song Jinhui walked towards her as well. But as he approached, Song Jinhui merely brushed past her without paying any attention, proceeding straight to Lin Yi. Watching this unfold, Li Lanxue''s face turned a pale shade of green and white. Yet Song Jinhui''s demeanor towards Lin Yi was entirely different from how he had treated her, as he bowed and nodded, saying, "My goodness, Mr. Lin, why didn''t you inform me of your visit? Your sudden arrival here makes us seem quite disrespectful..." As Song Jinhui spoke, he was extremely courteous and kept bowing and nodding, leaving everyone present dumbfounded!! Han Xuewei and Lin Jie also exhibited surprised looks at this time. Lin Yi, on the other hand, remained utterlyposed, simply shaking his head and saying, "It''s nothing, just having a meal with friends. There''s really no need for such a fuss." Lin Yi spoke calmly; he hadn''t expected the hotel manager toe to greet him personally. He had thought he was being low-key enough, but apparently, he had still been noticed. But now, there wasn''t much he could say since everyone was aware, and the trouble was, he had to exin things to Han Xuewei again. At that moment, Song Jinhui was visibly excited, for he had spotted the bill that Lin Yi had left on the table amounting to several hundred thousand. While it was understood that a tycoon would certainly not be short of money, if he, a wage earner, was insensitive, it would be the end of him. He promptly took back the bill Lin Yi had ced on the table, saying, "Mr. Lin, as the owner of our hotel, there''s no need to spend money when you dine here." After these words, he handed the bill to the waiter, who waspletely befuddled, taking the bill in a daze. At this time, everyone was shocked by Song Jinhui''s words; Lin Yi turned out to be the owner of Jinguo Hotel! Jinguo Hotel was the biggest hotel in Xiangcheng, standing out among the many hotels in the city, representing a significant business presence not to be underestimated. And the owner behind it all was the young Lin Yi, their university ssmate! At this moment, everyone wanted to exim, "Oh my God," realizing that what Lin Jie said earlier was true. The Supreme Grade Hypermarket indeed had shares owned by Lin Yi, and with him also owning this hotel, thebined wealth of these two giant enterprises made Lin Yi''s fortune immeasurable. So the fact that he possessed a ck card from the Golden Dragon Bank was not at all iprehensible, but rather quite ordinary. At this moment, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun both heard these words, and their faces turned ashen. Li Lanxue''s face was flushed with holding back her annoyance, as she had not expected that she would offend such an important person. Lin Yi turned out to be the owner of Jinguo Hotel. Weren''t all the careless things she had said just now going to... With this thought, Li Lanxue showed a look of horror, somewhat at a loss, as she looked at Lin Yi. Several of the enterprises under her father''s name were involved with Jinguo Hotel, among which the best performing was the liquor business. Their family was thergest liquor supplier in Xiangcheng, and Jinguo Hotel was their biggest customer. She had heard that her father had recently managed to secure arge order with Jinguo Hotel after much effort. That''s why she had purposely chosen this hotel, hoping the hotel staff would do her a favor by giving a discount for the funds used at the gathering. But now, it all seemed to be ruined. If her actions were to screw up her father''s business, then she was truly done for. Therefore, her face took on an embarrassed expression as she walked up to Song Jinhui and Lin Yi, bowing her head repeatedly and speaking, "Lin Yi, I truly apologize for just now. I really didn''t mean it, and I wasn''t aware of the situation. Since we''re ssmates from the same school, I beg you to forgive my blunders. I am really sorry¡­" At this moment, Li Lanxue waspletely different from just before, continuously bowing and apologizing. After all, if she caused her father''s business to fail because of today''s actions, her future days would not be easy. At this time, Song Jinhui watched Li Lanxue with surprise, then turned to Lin Yi. Having long been adept at reading people and situations, he quickly grasped the gist of the matter and said, "Mr. Lin, this youngdy discussed a coboration with our hotel before, but the order hasn''t been confirmed yet. What do you think¡­" As Song Jinhui spoke, his insinuation was clear: he was waiting for Lin Yi''s opinion. But Lin Yi didn''t wish to borate and simply waved his hand indifferently, "This is my personal time, and I don''t wish to discuss work now. Handle this matter yourself!" Lin Yi said indifferently, and at this moment Song Jinhui instantly understood. With his years of experience in the workce, how could he fail to interpret Lin Yi''s meaning? So, he nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, enjoy your meal. I shall take my leave now." After saying this, he turned and walked away without so much as ncing at Li Lanxue. At that moment, Li Lanxue instantly realized what had happened and showed a look of panic, attempting to chase after Song Jinhui. Song Xinhui paid her no mind and entered the elevator with hispanions, not giving her a single look. Inside the elevator, Song Jinhui took a deep breath. He hadn''t expected the business partner he was about to cooperate with to be so oblivious. He said directly, "Secretary Liu, reject all previous coborations with the Li Family. From now on, we will no longer work with the Li Family in any capacity!" Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu immediately took out the documents at hand and drew a cross over the Li Family''s page. From then on, the Li Family''s businesses would no longer have any dealings with Jinguo Hotel. At this time, everyone at the banquet was extremely shocked. They had not expected a ssmate they usually interacted with to be such a concealed tycoon. And this was a realm that even a well-born young master like Shen Wenjun could not reach. Chapter 178 Chapter 178 Request Han Xuewei immediately grabbed Lin Yi''s hand at that moment, pulling him to one side and sitting down before saying, "Honey, I think you need to exin this to me!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi scratched his head somewhat guiltily and chuckled, "I haven''t told you before, but now you''ve seen it, it was indeed a business I started privately, I didn''t expect it to be..." As Lin Yi spoke calmly, Han Xuewei was obviously shocked. However, after Lin Yi said a few words, she believed himpletely. She had no reason to distrust Lin Yi, and even patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction. "I didn''t expect you to be a big boss now, and that makes me the boss''s wife. You''re really something, honey." Han Xuewei said this very happily. Lin Yi felt a bit unnatural upon receiving Han Xuewei''s praise, sitting up straight and smiling slightly. He was still somewhat reserved in such a public setting, and just then, Lin Jie, seeing their affectionate disy, inadvertently showed an awkward look. Looking down, he saw Qin Xiaoxu gnawing on their shared steak¡ªshe had already finished one and was now eating his portion too! How could this girl eat so much?! The people present didn''t dare to say more, especially after witnessing the humiliating consequences of Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun''s previous show-off. So now they just focused on eating, eating, and eating!! They might never get a second chance in their lives to eat at such a high-ss hotel buffet, where they could have whatever they wanted; even lobster and abalone were no longer any concern. Meanwhile, the manager of the hotel demonstrated sharp acuity by specially arranging some top chefs toe over and cook for them. Many people were eating, their gazes unconsciously drifting towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi, however, didn''t care at all. He ate very little, as he was mostly full already. Now, he was sitting aside, chatting with Han Xuewei. At this moment, Li Lanxue sat in the corner with a face ashen with mortification, knowing that she had caused a huge problem. Just then, her phone suddenly lit up with a call from her father. The moment she answered, an enraged voice burst forth on the other end. "Li Lanxue, what trouble have you caused outside? I''ll tell you, the general manager Song Jinhui just called me. I thought it was something good, but he told me that starting today, they are terminating the contract with the Li Family!!" "Do you realize that our family''s liquor business''s biggest client is Jinguo Hotel? Do you know how much it helps ourpany in a year? Now that you''ve offended such a big client, are you going to care about the stock in the warehouse or not? Have you thought about that?!" "Perfectly fine as you were, you just had to go out and hold a party, and now you''ve upset the owner of the hotel. You really know how to cause trouble. I actually thought you were sensible, but he went as far as calling me directly." "Billions of business just gone like that. If the wine business doesn''t prosper after this, then you''d better be ready to face the wind, and forget about living thevish life you''re used to! It''s just naive, overly naive!!" Li Lanxue''s father was shouting furiously, clearly about to have a stroke with anger. At this moment, Li Lanxue, having heard all this, was so frightened that she didn''t dare to speak again, and after being scolded by her father, she hung up the phone. Shen Wenjun came over and saw Li Lanxue''s demeanour; he could roughly guess what had happened. However, he offered nofort to Li Lanxue; their rtionship was such that if herpany went bankrupt, it would be of no value to him. Shen Wenjun was about to leave when several men approached. The men wore suit uniforms, one of them in a gray suit, whom Shen Wenjun recognized. That was Han Dong, the manager of Wenqu Mall. Seeing Han Dong, Shen Wenjun showed a delighted expression, as he had specifically discussed a partnership with Han Dong before. It seemed Han Dong valued him highly, hence his presence here. Feeling very pleased, Shen Wenjun eagerly approached and said, "Manager Han, I didn''t expect to see you here. Have youe to dine?" Han Dong, surprised, looked over at Shen Wenjun. After a moment, Han Dong felt awkward; he didn''t remember who this man was. Meeting many clients every day, Han Dong wouldn''t recall anyone unimportant. So, he politely inquired, "May I ask who you are?" Hearing this, Shen Wenjun appeared embarrassed and stood there stiffly, with a forced smile on his face. He was taken aback by how quickly Han Dong had forgotten him and realized he held no weight in Han Dong''s eyes. Somewhat mortified, he managed to say, "Manager Han, it''s normal for you to be busy and not remember me. I''ve been in touch with your assistant these past few days, and I wanted to invite you out for a meal, but you''ve always been busy. I am Shen Wenjun, the owner of a women''s essorypany." Hearing this, Han Dong remained somewhat confused. He was there to find Lin Yi, yet now this man had stopped him. Normally very efficient in his work and not tolerating dys, Han Dong tried to remember. Suddenly, a name came to his mind, and he said, "Are you that young man surnamed Shen who has been calling me?" Recently, Han Dong had indeed received a call from someone wanting his jewelrypany to be housed in their mall, hoping for a chance to partner with them. But the jewelry was just ordinary, small-branded stuff, while their mall hosted international brands. Such small brands wouldn''t sell well, and taking them on would just take up space without profit, so he had no intention of doing so. Moreover, Shen Wenjun reallycked discernment; Han Dong had already deliberately rejected him during the call. Thus, without leaving Shen Wenjun any face, he straightforwardly asked, "Were you the one who kept calling, asking me to give yourpany an opportunity?" With Han Dong''s words out, the surrounding people heard every word clearly. They were shocked that Shen Wenjun, the apparently affluent young man, had to grovel to others as well. It was truly astonishing. Chapter 179 The Hidden Tycoon However, what surprised them even more at this moment was that, even someone with the status of Shen Wenjun seemed utterly inconsequential in Han Dong''s eyes. He simply hadn''t remembered him, whereas Shen Wenjun was seizing this opportunity, tirelessly pitching himself and hispany''s products. He spoke with great enthusiasm,pletely oblivious to the displeasure on Han Dong''s face at that moment. At that moment, Han Dong felt that Shen Wenjun had wasted too much of his time, so without hesitation, he said directly, "Sorry! Sir, if there''s a chance, we can talk next time, I have other matters to attend to now!" Han Dong outright rejected Shen Wenjun and walked away. Hearing this, Shen Wenjun could only stand there, dumbfounded. At that moment, he was extremely embarrassed. The surrounding crowd was staring at him, and the manager Han in front of him didn''t give him any face and just strode away. And at that moment, Han Dong approached Lin Yi, who also looked surprised, frowning at Han Dong. He had seen what Han Dong said to Shen Wenjun, but he hadn''t paid much attention to it. Nevertheless, he hadn''t expected Han Dong to rush over so hastily, as if it really was for himself. At that moment, Lin Yi genuinely had forgotten about Han Dong; he never made an effort to remember people''s faces, and he met far too many people every day. Seeing the expression on Lin Yi''s face, Han Dong naturally guessed that Lin Yi had forgotten about him. Very respectfully, he said directly, "Hello, Chairman Lin Yi, I am the junior manager who met youst time at Wenqu Mall." At this moment, Han Dong referring to himself as a junior manager also shocked Shen Wenjun. The surrounding crowd also showed expressions of amazement, while Lin Yi just then remembered their previous meeting. That manager had handled matters quite cleverly. At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding crowd revealed their astonishment. They really hadn''t expected Lin Yi to be the chairman of Wenqu Mall. Everyone knew that Wenqu Mall was a mall specializing in the sale of luxury goods! Everyone was speechless with shock, for Lin Yi had brought them not just one or two surprises that day. At this time, Han Xuewei was also very shocked. Lin Yi took Han Xuewei''s hand and stood in front of Han Dong, saying, "Why would you be here?" Lin Yi frowned, his own movements were always quite careful, and unless there was some matter, he wouldn''t likely go out of his way to find him. Hearing this, Han Dong also nodded and said, "Actually, I''ve been looking for you since this afternoon. I didn''t leave a way to contact you, and just today someone informed me that you were in this hotel, so I made a special trip here. I want to talk to you about the new productunch that is being held tomorrow. I wanted to ask whether the chairman ns to attend..." As Han Dong spoke respectfully, Shen Wenjun''s face wentpletely pale. He hadn''t expected Lin Yi to be the owner of Wenqu Mall! Then, what was there to talk about any cooperation now?! At this point, Lin Yi spoke up, "That man just now, what''s your rtionship with him?" He had just seen Shen Wenjun and Han Dong chatting, so he made a point to ask. Hearing this, Han Dong simply said, "Chairman, the gentleman just now has been seeking a cooperation with our mall, but I don''t think it will work. Our mall only epts high-end cooperations, and his brand is too minor, probably a generic one without any credibility. We cannot cooperate. However, if he is a friend of yours, then we could certainly give him some support." Han Dong said respectfully, knowing that if Lin Yi wanted to cooperate, then he naturally had no right to object. However, Lin Yi simply shook his head upon hearing this. ``` "A brand that can''t make money, what''s the use of keeping it?" Lin Yi''s voice was very cold, and upon hearing this, Shen Wenjun''s eyes widened, her teeth clenching with a gritting sound, yet there was nothing she could do. And everyone present heard these words. Explore more at empire All of them showed surprised expressions, never having expected Lin Yi to have such a status. And to think that Shen Wenjun was nothing more than ackey to him, it was truly shocking. Now it seemed that Lin Yi was a hidden big shot, whereas Shen Wenjun was just a fool who tried to swagger but ended up being screwed over instead. At this moment, seeing Han Dong''s expectant look, Lin Yi could only shake his head helplessly. "I won''t be going to the new productunch. You can lead it just the same. I need to go home to take care of my child; I don''t have time to go over there." Lin Yi said brazenly, and upon hearing his words, Han Dong immediately nodded, not daring to say anything more. Ever since their chairman took over the mall, he had hardly managed it, just letting it develop smoothly, as if he didn''t care at all about such a small business. After Han Dong was done speaking, he took his leave, and Lin Yi just smiled faintly. At this point, the atmosphere of the entire gathering inexplicably changed. All of them showed surprised expressions again. Lin Yi turned to look at Han Xuewei and noticed that she too waspletely baffled. Lin Yi could only awkwardly say, "Wife, I''ll exin to you when we get home." Lin Yi felt a bit guilty at this moment. This feeling of keeping his rtives in the dark and letting his family know nothing made him feel a sense of guilt. Moreover, since Han Xuewei was his wife, his silence could make her feel that he didn''t trust her. So he decided that once they got home, he would definitelye clean to Han Xuewei. She just nodded calmly and smiled lightly, "Husband, I never imagined you''d be such a business tycoon." Han Xuewei felt extremely proud at this moment, although she did not know where all these assets that Lin Yi had popped up from. Yet she was sure that Lin Yi must have acquired them through legitimate means, and that was something to be proud of. The people at the scene were all stirred up, looking at Lin Yi with disbelief. It was truly astonishing; to be so young and yet the chairman of severalpanies, it waspletely beyond their imagination. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu was also somewhat unable to react. She had been incredibly shocked when she spent money at Wenqu Building, because the mall had been so generous to give them ten million for their expenditures. Now thinking back on Lin Yi being the chairman, it all made much more sense. Hence, Qin Xiaoxu immediately grabbed Lin Jie''s arm and pulled him aside, eximing, "Oh my gosh, your family''s business is doing so well now? Lin Yi is actually the chairman of Wenqu Mall!!" Hearing this, Lin Jie was alsopletely baffled at the moment. He himself didn''t know and could only furrow his brows. "I honestly didn''t know this, he never mentioned it before. The only thing I knew was that my brother had a stake in the Supreme Grade supermarket since our parents were helping to run it, but as for Jinguo Hotel and Wenqu Mall, I really had no idea..." ``` Chapter 180 Everyones Envy However, at this moment, Qin Xiaoxu was extremely happy. She blurted out, "That''s really great, I never expected my dear sister to have married such an impressive husband, and the food at Jinguo Hotel is so delicious, from now on we cane and eat for free!" Qin Xiaoxuughed hee-hee, tossing that matter to the back of her mind in an instant. Lin Jie looked at Qin Xiaoxu with a sense of helplessness. All this guy thinks about is eating and shopping; can''t she think of anything else? Meanwhile, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi sat together, behind them the sound of very evident murmurs of discussion rose, nearly all of them in praise of the couple. "My goodness, it''s so shocking, I didn''t expect our school''s beauty to have such an incredible husband!" "Yes, the items in Wenqu Mall are all luxury goods, probably worth nearly ten billion! I didn''t expect him to be the Chairman of Wenqu Mall!" "I just saw that ck card; I''ve never seen a Golden Dragon ck card in my life, and it even had gold lettering engraved on it!" "And this hotel belongs to them too..." "Right, right, the hotel is also theirs, no wonder he was acting so domineering just now!!" "Exactly, we can''t even imagine the life of the rich, Lin Yi is really too capable. I remember he was very low-key in college, never expected him to be such a hidden boss!!" Everyone heatedly discussed, and at this moment, looking towards Lin Yi, all they had was admiration in their eyes. Shen Wenjun at this time showed a jealous expression, his teeth grinding with a creaking noise, filled with deep hatred towards Lin Yi. Why does someone like Lin Yi receive such favor from heaven when I have to fight tooth and nail for any opportunity and still get none! Lin Yi simply sat in a superior position, looking calm and unruffled. This only made Shen Wenjun''s jealousy and distortion grow. As Shen Wenjun was submerged in resentment, suddenly his phone rang. He picked up the phone, only to see his father''s name on the disy. It was a call from his own father! Seeing that phone call, Shen Wenjun suddenly felt a bit panicked, but he still answered it. Soon the voice on the other end erupted with his father''s roar, eximing, "Shen Wenjun, have you lost your mind? Did you go to the hotel gathering today really just for the gathering? You''ve caused me a lot of trouble. There was still a possibility for Wenqu Building to wee us, but you''ve thoroughly screwed it up for me!!" His voice was full of anger, continuously scolding him. Shen Wenjun hung up the phone, somewhat panicked. And at that moment, the phone of Li Lanxue, who was sitting beside him, also rang. She too received her father''s roar, because the Wenqu Building previously had quite a few coborations with Li Lanxue''s family. But they had the same boss, all Lin Yi''s enterprises; with just a word from Lin Yi, naturally, they would be in trouble. At this time, both Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun were scolded miserably, both showing helpless expressions. Everyone around looked towards them, revealing faces of surprise. In fact, most people were just watching the excitement. Shen Wenjun''s face couldn''t hold up anymore, and he walked straight towards the front. Li Lanxue, even more angered, stamped her high heels, quickly running forward without even saying goodbye to her ssmates. After the two left, many ssmates started to talk. "Oh my god, did you hear what just happened between those two? I heard their fathers both called to scold them. The deal they had with Jinguo Hotel is totally down the drain!" "That''s what they get for not opening their eyes and offending Lin Yi!" "Oh my god, all that funding gone to waste. Looks like they''re really in for it this time!" Everyone was buzzing with discussion, and at this moment, Lin Zhiyuan also overheard the chatter and looked up. Some ssmates who were in the know revealed information about Qin Xiaoxu, saying Lin Jie was not really her boyfriend; their rtionship was just barely put together. So, at this moment, observing Lin Jie, he couldn''t help but feel smug. Lin Jie looked very young, probably still in university, while Qin Xiaoxu was likely two or three years older than him. He, being so mature, was truly the perfect match for Qin Xiaoxu. Hence, he sported a smug expression, constantly keeping an eye on Qin Xiaoxu. Right now Lin Jie was sitting next to Qin Xiaoxu, watching him constantly eating. He couldn''t help but snort and said, "Are you ever going to get enough, you slob? Keep eating like this and you''ll turn into a fat pig. See who''ll marry you then!" Hearing these words, Qin Xiaoxu pouted and retorted with a cold huff, "So what if I be a fat pig? It''s not like I''m marrying you!" At this, Lin Jie''s eyebrows shot up. "Who''d want to marry you? Don''t tter yourself!" They were alright when they kept quiet, but as soon as they talked, they bickered endlessly. After Qin Xiaoxu finished eating, he just chatted with Han Xuewei andpletely ignored Lin Jie, which made him unbearably awkward. Lin Jie could only take out his phone and y games to distract himself. Meanwhile, Han Xuewei was sitting beside Lin Yi, who was extremely considerate, peeling shrimp after shrimp for her and even cutting her steak before cing it in front of her. Many students were paying attention to Lin Yi, with quite a few of them eager to curry favor. Behind Lin Yi, many female students noticed his attentive actions and couldn''t help but begin to gossip. "Oh my god, such an outstanding person and still so caring!" "Exactly, when will I ever find such a great boyfriend?" "Did you hear? The wedding he hosted for Han Xuewei was incrediblyvish. I heard it cost a fortune, and the ring Han Xuewei wore could buy several houses!" "Rich people do like to wear their houses on their fingers." Find more to read at empire "Look, there''s Han Xuewei sitting over there. Should we go say hi...?" "Forget it, she''s now the wife of a wealthy man. She doesn''t have time to greet us!" "That can''t be true; I remember Han Xuewei has a great personality. She definitely wouldn''t look down on us." The ssmates said this and went straight to Han Xuewei to say hello. To their surprise, both Han Xuewei and Lin Yi were very friendly, warm, and easygoing, whichpletely overturned their expectations. Not only are they good-looking but also approachable. It''s just too likable. Seeing Lin Yi''s attentive and gentle demeanor towards Han Xuewei, naturally, everyone felt envious to the extreme. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu, having finished eating, also felt a bit bored and picked up his phone to y some games. But then, he suddenly received a message on WeChat. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be from Lin Zhiyuan. Lin Zhiyuan: "Xiaoxu, what are you up to after dinner!" Chapter 181 On the Way Home At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu received a message from Lin Zhiyuan, looking very calm. She didn''t even bother to reply and just started ying a game. Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyuan saw the two of them huddled so close together that his face turned green with anger. Noticing his expression, his girlfriend sitting beside him suddenly furrowed her brows, looked at his unhappy face, and asked, "What''s wrong? You seem a bit off today. Why do you keep looking over there? What''s your rtionship with that woman?" Lin Zhiyuan''s girlfriend couldn''t help but inquire. She had noticed Qin Xiaoxu at a nce, because in that group, Qin Xiaoxu''s demeanor was indeed outstanding. Only then did Lin Zhiyuan turn around and said, "Nothing, nothing, just an old ssmate. Don''t think too much about it. Look, she already has a boyfriend." Upon hearing this, the girl nced sideways at the scene in front of her. With Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie so close to each other, there was naturally no chance for Lin Zhiyuan. When ying the game, Qin Xiaoxu was very excited and immediately called out, "Hurry up and let me have the minion wave, give it to me." Lin Jie, fully engaged in the game, just chuckled and said, "Giving you the minion wave won''t help you. You''d better go jungle now!" While saying this, Qin Xiaoxu pinched Lin Jie''s wrist hard. Lin Jie yelped in pain and, with a shake of his hand, lost the position to Qin Xiaoxu. At that moment, Lin Zhiyuan, who was watching on the side, felt jealous seeing how close the two were. He couldn''t say much, but his girlfriend beside him showed a displeased look. Who could tolerate their boyfriend always staring at someone else? But her rtionship with Lin Zhiyuan could only be considered as them hanging out together, so there was no need to make a big fuss about it. After all, the girl seemed toe from a well-off family and would definitely not be interested in someone like Lin Zhiyuan. At this time, Lin Jie, who had been absorbed in the game, also noticed Lin Zhiyuan''s gaze. Naturally, this sparked his mischievous side even more, and he moved closer to Qin Xiaoxu. He leaned in very close, whispering in her ear, "See, good thing you have me as your fake boyfriend to ward him off, otherwise that guy would definitely take things too far." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu finally looked up towards the front. Indeed, Lin Zhiyuan was still staring at her, but she didn''t look at Lin Zhiyuan. Instead, she just lowered her head to continue ying the game and snorted, "The fact that such a man could have a girlfriend is trulyughable!" Hearing Qin Xiaoxu''s words, Lin Jie just smiled lightly and said, "I don''t care. In any case, I''ve helped you this time!" At this, Qin Xiaoxu looked at Lin Jie somewhat surprised. Based on her understanding, Lin Jie was usually quite shy. She didn''t expect him to be so shameless this time. She just smiled faintly and snorted. Of course, she was not so naive as to fall for Lin Zhiyuan''s tricks. In fact, Lin Zhiyuan was not evenparable to the young guy sitting next to her. Thinking this, Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help but nce at Lin Jie, who simply smiled faintly and then focused on ying the game again. Because Lin Yi had told everyone that they could order whatever they wanted, the ssmates didn''t hold back. Although some restrained themselves a little, there were still others who unreservedly grabbed expensive drinks like Moutai without a second thought. But Lin Yi didn''t care much, as these amounts were only petty cash to him, and his hotel could easily afford them. However, today Lin Yi and Lin Jie both only ate a little food, and didn''t drink any alcohol. After all, both of them had driven there; if it had been just one of them, they could have found a substitute driver. But since they came with girls, it naturally wasn''t very convenient, so neither Lin Yi nor Lin Jie drank. Soon, the banquet ended, and after saying thanks, everyone made their way to the lobby on the first floor. Lin Jie directly drove off in a sedan worth several hundred thousand yuan and picked up Qin Xiaoxu. This scene somewhat surprised Lin Zhiyuan. Lin Jie didn''t seem like someone from a great family! His car was just an average family sedan, about two hundred thousand yuan or so, and it looked quite old; it seemed he really was just a poser. Lin Zhiyuan thought with disdain in his eyes, but Lin Jie didn''t care; he had wanted to buy a nice car for himself, but his father had forbidden it, thinking it was too showy. Going to university and thenparing himself with others on the outside was unnecessary, so his father only allowed him to buy a car worth ten or twenty thousand yuan¡ªas long as it could run, it was fine. Lin Jie didn''t say much; he didn''t care. After all, his gaming setup was worth more than the car. When Lin Yi drove his car over, the female ssmates all showed expressions of surprise; they had never seen such a luxurious car before, and it obviously looked very expensive. Some of the boys who knew about cars also looked shocked, as this car was worth several houses. Lin Yi picked up Han Xuewei and also took along a few female friends from university who were close to her. The girls didn''t stand on ceremony and promptly got into Lin Yi''s car. His car was very spacious; fitting four or five people was not a problem at all. Once inside Lin Yi''s car, many of the girls were astounded by the interior equipment. Continue reading at empire They couldn''t help butpliment Han Xuewei, "Vivi, your husband is seriously incredible. Look at this car, I couldn''t even dream of sitting in one like this!" "Yeah, Vivi, your husband is so capable and caring. I really hope to find a husband as good as him one day!" "What are you all talking nonsense for? Vivi is great too. She is so beautiful and so smart, it''s totally normal for her to have a husband who loves her. If you''re envious, you should work on improving yourselves!" The girls chatted andughed, and one of them turned to Han Xuewei and couldn''t help asking, "Vivi, none of us knew about your wedding beforehand¡ªit was only after we heard about it on the school forum. Why didn''t you invite us?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei looked a bit embarrassed and immediately responded, "Because the wedding was so rushed, it was a sudden decision. We didn''t have time to tell everyone, and my parents also thought it was just a ceremony at the time, so they didn''t announce it. If there''s a chance in the future, I''ll invite everyone over for a meal." Seeing Han Xuewei''s guilty expression, the group of girls felt a bit embarrassed. They quickly said, "It''s okay, Vivi. We don''t really mind. We just feel close to you and wanted to witness your wedding, that''s all!" "Exactly, exactly. You must have looked beautiful in your wedding dress. And about that meal you just mentioned inviting us to, we''ll hold you to that¡ªdon''t forget when the timees!" Chapter 182 Being Pursued Those girls who were on good terms with Han Xuewei also had pleasant personalities, so after Han Xuewei said a few words, they started teasing each other and the atmosphere became very harmonious. However, at this moment, one of the girls couldn''t help but say, "Vivi, do you know? Gu Li ising back in a few days." Upon hearing this, many of the girls started discussing it together. Continue your adventure at empire "Didn''t Gu Li go abroad?" "Yes, she did, but I saw on her social media posts that she ising back to the country in a few days!" Hearing these words, Han Xuewei also suddenly realized. Previously, Gu Li was her ssmate, and it seemed that they had a fight over a boy. At that time, the boy probably liked Han Xuewei¡ªshe wasn''t sure¡ªbut Gu Li insisted that Han Xuewei was seducing the boy, and even insulted Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei didn''t argue with her but did harbor some prejudices against her in her heart. Later, for some reason, she went abroad to study. But there were still quite a few ssmates who said it was Han Xuewei who had driven her away. Han Xuewei was naturally very gentle; how could she do something like that? These girls knew it too, so at this moment, they all felt somewhat indignant on behalf of Han Xuewei. After hearing these words, Han Xuewei recalled and said, "I haven''t had contact with her for a long time, so I don''t know how she has been doing recently." "I heard that she is going toe back to our Xiang University to continue studying, probably staying in our ss. I don''t know what she will think by then!" "But I think it''s possible that..." As the girl spoke, she looked up worriedly at Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei was a bit surprised when Lin Yi, through the rearview mirror, saw the girl''s expression. The girl appeared a bit awkward and nervous, but Han Xuewei said, "It''s okay, go ahead and speak." Hearing this, the girl continued, "Vivi, actually, after she had a falling out with that boy and had a fight with you, she went abroad. Some people in the school said that you were the one who forced her to leave, and she even pretended to be pitiful at that time." "Now she might being back because she has calcted that you would have graduated. She probably doesn''t know about your year off for pregnancy, so if she reallyes back to Xiang University, she will surely make trouble for you when she sees you..." As the girl said this, many of the other girls showed contemptuous expressions. "I always knew it, her intentions were never pure. She even told us before that she was the famous beauty of the school, iming that you, Vivi, didn''t deserve to be called that. If shees back to study here now, she will surely nitpick everything with you. She can''t be the school beauty anymore, and so she will start ying her little games again," The group of girls spoke, some of them expressed their indignation on behalf of Han Xuewei. Han Xuewei heard this and simply smiled lightly, saying, "I don''t really mind the ''school beauty'' title; actually, I think there are many beautiful girls in our school. Maybe a new student will be the school beauty in the future. I think I look okay, but to be called truly beautiful, that''s really everyone overestimating me." With modesty, Han Xuewei spoke, honestly not considering herself as a celestial beauty above others. Getting ttered as the school beauty and then losing touch with reality was not her style. After all, there are many beautiful people in the world, and even if she is beautiful now, she can''t resist time; she will eventually age. At that moment, hearing what Han Xuewei said, the group of female ssmates all eximed in unison, "No!" A girl shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Vivi, that''s too modest of you. You''re as beautiful as the actresses on TV, even prettier than the currently popr ones. How could you possibly not be pretty?" "Exactly, you''ve had a child and still look prettier than those of us who haven''t!" All these female ssmates were chattering away, unanimously agreeing on Han Xuewei''s beauty¡ªafter all, it wasn''t like they were blind. Lin Yi was driving and had also heard a lot about Han Xuewei, and he even remembered a name associated with a clear rivalry with her: Gu Li. If that girl dared to bully Han Xuewei, Lin Yi certainly wouldn''t stand for it, because in his eyes, Han Xuewei truly was the most beautiful girl at Xiang University. It wasn''t surprising at all for her to be the campus belle. At this time, Lin Yi, smiling as he drove, said, "Wife, everyone says you''re the school beauty. I don''t know what everyone''s standards are, but in my eyes, you are the most beautiful." Hearing this, all the female ssmates sighed. "My gosh, your husband is really shoving dog food down our throats." "Yeah, yeah, Vivi, your husband really loves you so much. I''m so envious." A few ssmates cast envious nces at Han Xuewei. Lin Yi, meanwhile, drove leisurely, listening to their gossip and hearing quite a few stories about Han Xuewei. Most of the stories about Han Xuewei were about her being pursued by people at the university. Some of the more daring boys had tried to pursue Han Xuewei, while those whocked the courage quietly harbored crushes on her. After hearing all this, Lin Yi felt a bit jealous. Soon, he dropped off each of the female ssmates at their respective homes, and finally, when he reached thest house, he stopped the car and sighed in relief, "Finally, it''s over." Han Xuewei saw Lin Yi looking tired for the first time and said, "If you''re tired, I can drive." Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head. "I''m not tired, just a little jealous." At his words, Han Xuewei furrowed her brows and asked, "What''s wrong?" She knew Lin Yi must have heard what was said just now and replied with a small smile, "Those were just things from when I first started university. When I first appeared at the school, I was just a freshman. Initially, I wasn''t the school belle, butter everyone started saying I was the prettiest girl at Xiang University, and they made me the school belle." "You know very well, the school beauty is bound to be pursued by lots of boys. But afterwards, I rejected them all. Everyone then thought I was aloof, so you don''t need to worry about it. I''m aloof towards them but passionate towards you alone." Hearing those words, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. Han Xuewei had touched his heart with just a few sentences. However, he also had a question that had been lingering in his mind, something he wanted to ask Han Xuewei. That was how, with so many boys pursuing her, she could have fallen for him. After the incident, he had taken the initiative to contact Han Xuewei, saying he would take responsibility, but the answer he got was that Han Xuewei liked him too. This was the most amazing thing in the world, and Lin Yi had never had the courage to ask. He feared that Han Xuewei had said so only because she was pregnant and felt she had no choice. Chapter 183 Anxious Denial Seeing Lin Yi with such a heavy heart, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but rub his head and said, "If you have any problems, you can ask me. Why do you always look so preupied?" Enjoy new tales from empire Hearing this, Lin Yi also rubbed his head somewhat irritably. "I''m afraid you''ll be unhappy." "But if you don''t ask and say nothing, that''s what makes me unhappy." Hearing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath and held both of Han Xuewei''s hands as he spoke, "Then I''ll ask, but you can''t get angry, okay?" Han Xueweiughed, looking very charming, while Lin Yi said, "You mentioned before that you had a crush on me, but back then, so many boys in school liked you, you had so many options, why did you have a crush on me?" At this point, Lin Yi hung his head. He wasn''t someone prone to self-doubt, but when faced with a girl as outstanding as Han Xuewei, he naturally reflected on his own shorings. Han Xuewei was really too beautiful¡ªit could be said that ny percent of men who came into contact with her would take a liking to her. After all, she was a girl both gentle and beautiful, and capable too. Han Xuewei had naturally guessed that Lin Yi would ask this question, and with augh, she patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, you don''t need to doubt it will definitely be you, although you might not be as handsome as those boys, but in my eyes, you have the best character and personality." "Remember when I was a new student, as soon as I started school, you were there helping other ssmates carry their luggage. Later on, I paid special attention to you. You have a good character, are very sunny and enthusiastic, and I also paid particr attention to you in ss." "I even secretly read the essays you wrote. I think you''re very respectful of others, from the inside out, and don''t treat people like objects, never ndering others without understanding them. With you being so wonderful, how could I not like you?!" With these words, Han Xuewei gave Lin Yi a big hug. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately felt overjoyed and, holding Han Xuewei, said, "Really? Turns out my wife, you''ve hidden it so well, I didn''t even notice at the time." Han Xuewei patted his shoulder and replied, "Yeah, so many people were looking at me, why didn''t you turn back and look at me!" At these words, Lin Yi embarrassedly said, "I was too shy to look at you. I thought with so many people pursuing you, I wouldn''t stand a chance at all." "If you had looked back at me back then, who knows, we might have ended up together without that incident." Han Xuewei smiled faintly and, hearing this, Lin Yi hugged her tightly. "Don''t worry, honey. I will work even harder to make you the happiest woman in the whole world." "I already am the happiest person in the world." ¡­ At this time, Lin Jie had already driven Qin Xiaoxu over, arriving at her front door. As his car came to a stop, Qin Xiaoxu looked up at Lin Jie and said, "Aren''t you going to escort me upstairs?" Hearing this, Lin Jie nced at his phone, noticing it was about time, and replied, "No need, it''s fine for you to go up by yourself, the buildings here are very high quality, and the elevator is quick. My friend is hurrying me..." As Lin Jie said this, Qin Xiaoxu felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth. She had asked Lin Jie to take her to her doorstep, which was clearly giving him an opportunity! If someone else asked for her home address in the future, Lin Jie would know it, but there he was, just letting such an opportunity slip by!! Lin Jie didn''t say anything at the moment, except that he was in a rush, and then the car began to chug forward. Qin Xiaoxu was standing by the roadside, her eyes wide open like brass bells. She was already somewhat annoyed¡ªshe should have dragged Lin Jie out earlier. Feeling sulky, Qin Xiaoxu made her way upstairs on her own. The reason Lin Jie was in such a hurry was that his friend Lin Hao had been waiting for him for quite a while, so he definitely needed to speed up. Lin Hao got along well with him. The two often yed games together. Recently, Lin Hao had been job hunting but retreated without a fight every time, leaving him no choice but toe and stay with Lin Jie. Since Lin Hao''s family wasn''t from Xiangcheng and renting a ce here was quite expensive without someone to share it with, he had to rely on Lin Jie. When Lin Jie got home, he found Lin Hao leaning against his door ying a game; seeing Lin Jie return, he immediately stood up and said, "I''ve been looking forward to your return, bro! Let''s go inside quickly; my legs are numb from squatting. You have food at home, right?" Without any hesitation, Lin Hao continued, and Lin Jie replied, "Isn''t there a Saxian Snack ce downstairs? Just grab something to eat there." Hearing this, Lin Hao simply smiled faintly, "I was worried you wouldn''t find me if I left, so I just waited here for a bit. It wasn''t that long." As they spoke, Lin Jie immediately opened the door and walked in, with Lin Hao following by his side. "I hardly cook at home; there''s just some instant food. There''s instant noodles over there... How about some instant noodles?" After entering, Lin Hao dropped his suitcase to one side and went over to where Lin Jie had pointed. He looked at arge box filled with various instant foods, self-heating hot pots, self-heating rice, and a heap of instant noodles. Seeing this, Lin Hao was slightly taken aback, "Bro, do you usually eat this stuff??" "Not always; asionally, I order takeout." At this, Lin Hao waspletely dumbfounded and reluctantly picked up a box of instant noodles. "Make one for me too; I''m also hungry." Lin Jie said casually, and Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, "You''re hungry just after returning from a party?" "I didn''t really eat; I just watched others eat at the gathering!" As Lin Jie spoke, he couldn''t help but remember Qin Xiaoxu''s appearance when she was eating, stuffing her mouth full as if she couldn''t get enough. She must be pretty full by now after getting back, he thought. After a while, Lin Hao had made the instant noodles and ced them on the table, immediately moving closer to Lin Jie and said, "I heard you went to the party with your girlfriend." Upon hearing this, Lin Jie corrected him, "She''s a pretend girlfriend, not a real one." "Ah, one day it will turn real!" Lin Hao said unconcernedly, and Lin Jie feltpelled to exin, "It''s because my brother and sister-inw invited her, so I had to go with her." There''s no need to rush your exnation, "Some people can affect your emotions without you even realizing it. Who knows, maybe the two of you will actually be a thing. I often see you ying games with her. Aren''t you two nning to form a CP?" "How could that be possible! I''m just ying games with her, and even the girlfriend is pretend. Do you think there''s anything real about it?" Chapter 184 Reply Lin Jie wasn''t thinking like that, he just wanted to focus on his studies, find a reliable profession, and preferably break free from his father''s control and carve out his own world. Plus, he had witnessed the consumer power of women through Qin Xiaoxu, thinking if he married someone like Qin Xiaoxu in the future, wouldn''t his modest savings be blown through to bankruptcy?? So now he had to find a way to make more money. "Don''t be so quick to deny it, I think that Qin Xiaoxu is quite nice, pretty, and has a good personality!" "I pretended to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend rtionship with her, just to shut our parents up. I saw she was enjoying herself, how could she possibly like me?" Upon hearing this, Lin Hao didn''t say much, just slurped a mouthful of instant noodles and said, "Don''t think like that. Some women are insincere with their words, maybe she sees you as a good catch. And don''t think so poorly of yourself!" Lin Jie reflected carefully before responding, "Could she really have taken a liking to me? But indeed, she did invite me to the entrance of her ce earlier, asking me to take her upstairs!" At these words, Lin Hao suddenly widened his eyes and eximed, "Yes, yes, yes, then why did youe back? She actually invited you upstairs; there must be something going on." "Are you out of your mind? She just felt that you needed someone to apany her up, and weren''t you the one who told me you''ve been waiting at home for a long time? Of course, I declined and let her go back by herself." Lin Jie argued with conviction. Hearing this, Lin Hao pped his forehead, "Then it looks like I''ve let you down, she might be mad at you now." "Don''t worry, she definitely won''t be mad. She said before that she has no expectations of me, so why would she be mad at me?" Lin Jie spoke nonchntly, while Lin Hao clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, it seems I owe you one this time. Rest assured, I''ll definitely be a good wingman for you from now on." Upon hearing this, Lin Jie patted his hand and said, "You don''t need to help me, it''s unnecessary." After finishing his statement, Lin Jie didn''t dwell on the matter and went straight back to eating his instant noodles. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu had arrived home. After freshening up, shey down on the bed. Having eaten too much today, she took out her phone intending to scroll through videos but received a message instead. Upon opening it, it was from Lin Jie: Hurry up ande y the game!! Seeing these words, Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help but roll her eyes. This Lin Jie really left her speechless, not caring about anything other than ying that damn game. However, having nothing else to do, Qin Xiaoxu tapped into the gaming interface and yed for a while by herself. She was so annoyed that she didn''t even want to team up with Lin Jie; she could see that Lin Jie was online but when he greeted her, she ignored him, leaving Lin Jie somewhat baffled. After ying for a bit, Qin Xiaoxu, feeling tired, closed the game interface and looked at the unanswered message. She then typed a line and sent it. At this moment, Lin Jie received the message and took a nce. "Other than asking me to y games with you, what else can you do!" Seeing these words, Lin Jie scratched his head in a panic, unsure of how to reply. Meanwhile, Lin Hao stood beside Lin Jie and, upon seeing the message from Qin Xiaoxu, said, "Oh my god, Qin Xiaoxu messaged you, you need to reply to her fast!" Hearing this, Lin Jie couldn''t help but scratch his head, saying somewhat helplessly, "I don''t know how to reply to her." Seeing Lin Jie''s troubled expression, Lin Hao knew that Lin Jie still hadn''t made up his mind. "So what exactly do you think? Look, she already said that to you, maybe what she means indirectly is that she''s asking which is more important to you, the game or her. I think she definitely has feelings for you. You can''t always refuse to show your feelings. If you continue like this, there will certainly be no progress with her." Upon hearing this, Lin Jie also lowered his head and said, "I''m also not sure what I think right now. Originally, I pretended to be her boyfriend just to shut my parents up, and when I buy her things, my dad would even give me money and fully support it. If I can use it to make my dad give me more money, thenter on I can use the money to do what I really want to do." Hearing this, Lin Hao replied, "Then what do you want to do? In the past, you''ve also yed games with several girls, but I''ve noticed you aren''t nearly as enthusiastic with other girls. When those girls were performing poorly in games, you would often grumble about them. But now, look at you with Qin Xiaoxu¡ªshe''s a girl too, but your attitude towards her is clearly different from the others." "Having spent so much time together, of course I''d be friendlier to her," he said. "Then, would you be jealous? If she got too close to other guys!" At that question, Lin Jie''s brows immediately furrowed, and thinking about today''s incident involving Lin Zhiyuan, he said with a frown, "Of course! Those trashy guys have no good intentions. How could I possibly let her be bullied by them!" "That''s right, you must have feelings for her, otherwise you wouldn''t care so much about who she''s with or whether she might be bullied!" The two of them kept chattering non-stop, and at this time, Qin Xiaoxu, with her phone in hand, still hadn''t received a reply, causing her to frown in frustration. This guy couldn''t really be nning to ignore me, could he! Qin Xiaoxu didn''t have that much patience, and feeling somewhat upset, she quickly typed a line of text on her phone. "If you''re not going to talk, then don''t y with me anymore." Lin Jie was still talking when he noticed his phone screen light up, and after seeing the message Qin Xiaoxu sent, he said, "Look, she clearly has no interest in me. She doesn''t even want to y games with me anymore; she obviously doesn''t like me." Upon hearing this, Lin Hao pped him on the head and said, "Are you an idiot? She''s obviously angry. You''ve been here talking endlessly with me and haven''t thought about replying to her because you don''t know how! Naturally, the person waiting on the other end for a message would be unhappy. You need to reply to her now, quickly. If you don''t reply soon, she might really block you." Enjoy new stories from empire Looking at Lin Jie''s flustered state, Lin Hao felt somewhat exasperated by his stupidity and said, "Women can be terrifying when they get angry. They''re capable of anything. If you don''t reply now, you''ll end up on her cklist." Hearing this, Lin Jie looked at Lin Hao with a mixture of doubt and belief. "You haven''t had many rtionships yourself, so howe you understand so well? I don''t even know if she''s really angry, so how can you be so sure she is?" Hearing this, Lin Hao couldn''t help butugh. "Although I haven''t dated much, at least I have more experience than you. Hurry up and reply!" "But how should I reply?" "Just say everything that you want to say." Chapter 185 Confession? Hearing this, Lin Jie held his phone and thought for a long time before typing a long string of text and sending it directly. "Actually, I think that the two of us have such great rapport when ying games, even if we lose, we wouldn''t me each other. We''re already the best partners, so you don''t need to worry about whether or not to continue being friends with me. I really enjoy ying games with you. Just now, I just didn''t know how to respond. I didn''t know if you were happy or angry." Lin Jie''s reply was evidently awkward and somewhat silly. Qin Xiaoxu couldn''t help butugh out loud when she received the message. Continue your journey on empire This kid is actually quite cute! Qin Xiaoxu thought to herself happily, holding her phone and chuckling for a while, whereas Lin Jie, who hadn''t received a reply from Qin Xiaoxu, was bing somewhat frantic and involuntarily frowned. "Look, I''ve already said all that, and she still hasn''t replied. She can''t still be angry, can she?" Upon hearing this, Lin Hao leaned in and saw Lin Jie''s reply, shaking his head, "I think what you said makes sense. She probably isn''t mad anymore, might be thinking about how to reply to you." As he spoke, Lin Hao waited alongside Lin Jie. But after waiting a while and seeing no reply, Lin Jie grew anxious, while Lin Hao simply took Lin Jie''s phone, "How about I reply for you?" Lin Jie nodded his head upon hearing this; he also feared that he might say the wrong thing, so he was more at ease letting Lin Hao handle it. Lin Hao took Lin Jie''s phone and, not hesitating, quickly typed a series of characters and sent them off. Watching Lin Hao''s smooth movements, Lin Jie couldn''t help but be curious and peered over his shoulder, "What did you send, huh?" Lin Hao, with a sly smile, looked at Lin Jie, locked the phone screen, and lifted it behind his back, saying, "Hold on, wait a moment! Let''s see how she replies first." At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu had been paying close attention to Lin Jie, so as soon as he sent a message she checked it. But when she saw the message, she was stunned. Is he serious? How should I even respond to this? Qin Xiaoxu hadn''t expected Lin Jie to reply like that; she waspletely bewildered! Had she ever been in such a situation before? If it were someone else, Qin Xiaoxu might have known how to reply, but facing Lin Jie, she really didn''t know what to say! So, at that moment, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t dare to reply and immediately called Han Xuewei, Han Xuewei answered the phone only to hear Qin Xiaoxu''s urgent voice on the other end, "This is bad, this is so bad! Vivi, you have no idea, Lin Jie just messaged me, and he t out said he wants to start dating me. How should I respond?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei took a deep breath and said into the phone, "Really? He actually said that? That means he likes you. Do you like him?" At this moment, Han Xuewei was very eager to hear Qin Xiaoxu''s answer, and Qin Xiaoxu then said, "I think I probably like him quite a bit. He''s quite nice, apart from being a bit of a straight man. It could be worse, you know." Han Xuewei immediately turned excitedly to Lin Yi and said, "Your cousin just confessed to my sister. What do you think?" Hearing this, Lin Yi said, "I''m sure my cousin''s character is not a problem, but he rarely takes initiative with girls. This time he must have been prompted by Qin Xiaoxu, and it must be because he really likes the other party." At that moment, Han Xuewei had put the call on speaker, and Qin Xiaoxu could hear everything clearly, suddenly bing nervous, "If that''s the case, then what should I do? Ah, I... I don''t even know how to respond to him." She waspletely unprepared at this point and felt somewhat at a loss. She naturally knew that Lin Jie was a great guy, but she also feared that Lin Jie''s feelings for her were just those of an old friend and not romantic love. At this time, Han Xuewei, holding her phone, couldn''t help but say, "I think if you really like him, you should be a little braver because I also understand Lin Jie. If he can take this step, it''s naturally very difficult. After all, you know his temperament, and my husband and I also got to where we are because we both took the initiative to get along well, so I think you shouldn''t let yourself down. You should step out." As Han Xuewei spoke, she turned to look at Lin Yi, who just gave a faint smile. He was clearly a little tired. Qin Xiaoxu, hearing Han Xuewei''s words, naturally also very much hoped she could find a love like Han Xuewei''s and spoke up, "I also think I could give it a try, but he''s younger than me..." "What are you afraid of nowadays? Isn''t it popr to have rtionships with younger men? And besides, you two don''t have that much of an age difference. It''s at most one or two years. Why are you panicking?" Han Xueweiughed when she realized that Qin Xiaoxu was worried about that. Qin Xiaoxu, however, still stuttered, "But I''m still not ready, and also¡­" "Enough with the ''buts.'' If you really like him, you might as well give it a try. He''s younger than you, so you won''t suffer any loss. Plus, Lin Jie''s family is quite wealthy." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu widened her eyes and nodded, "Indeed, his family is quite rich, and his parents are very nice to me..." Eventually, Qin Xiaoxu agreed to it. After all, Lin Jie had the physique, the looks, and he also yed video games. All aspects of him were already good. The only issue was his straightforward male personality, which was bound to slowly be warmer with her influence. Qin Xiaoxu had confidence in herself. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu''s heartbeat quickened. She was extremely nervous as she held her phone, patting her forehead to stay calm. Meanwhile, Lin Jie was getting anxious. He grabbed the phone from Lin Hao and shouted, "You little rascal! You didn''t send something you shouldn''t have, did you?" Lin Hao was out of breath, looking at Lin Jie''s anxious expression. Lin Jie opened WeChat and saw the message Lin Hao had sent, his face going white at once. Lin Hao had sent, "I think I really like you. Do you want to date me?" "Oh my God, are you insane? Why would you send that? You''re going to kill me," Lin Jie couldn''t help but shout out. Lin Hao, still fearlessly leaning over, said confidently, "I''ve already noticed that you have feelings for her, and she seems to have a good impression of you as well. Otherwise, she wouldn''t keep finding reasons to be together with you. Now that I''ve sent it, let''s see how she replies. If she really likes you, then you have a chance. If she doesn''t, it''s just a probe; we can say it was a misunderstanding on my part." Lin Hao spoke with ease, while Lin Jie was already panicking. Chapter 186 Going Home "No, no, you''re such a pig teammate!" Lin Jie said anxiously, immediately editing a message on his phone, nning to exin to Qin Xiaoxu that the previous message wasn''t sent by him. But at this moment, seeing Lin Jie''s actions, Lin Hao became excited, stood up to grab his phone and said, "What are you doing, dude? You finally sent her a message, and you definitely have to see how she responds. If you exin to her now, won''t you have spoiled everything?" Lin Hao was anxiously trying to snatch Lin Jie''s phone, while Lin Jie argued urgently, "You just don''t understand her personality; it''s not something you can guess. If she ends up ignoring me because of this, it will be all your fault!" Lin Jie was anxious and quite distressed. He was genuinely worried that he wouldn''t even be able to be friends with Qin Xiaoxu in the future. So at that moment, he typed urgently, deleting and rewriting again and again. Right then, a new message popped up. Seeing Qin Xiaoxu''s reply, he froze, lifted his phone, and eximed, "She... she told me... agreed!" Lin Jie panicked at that point, and hearing his words, Lin Hao showed an astonished expression, leaning in close to Lin Jie to see Qin Xiaoxu''s reply, then hugged Lin Jie''s shoulder, saying, "No way, I was just trying it out, but it seems she indeed has a thing for you, otherwise she wouldn''t have agreed so easily!" After sending her message, Qin Xiaoxu chuckled, holding her phone as she waited for Lin Jie''s reply. Meanwhile, Lin Jie was still dumbfounded and didn''t know how to reply to Qin Xiaoxu, saying, "So am I really her boyfriend now?" "Of course, you are. Since she has acknowledged it, she''s your girlfriend now." Feeling a bit panicked after hearing this, Lin Jie looked at his phone and said, "Then what should I say to her? I have no idea how to respond." He waspletely flustered at the moment. Pretending to be Qin Xiaoxu''s boyfriend had been one thing, but now that he was actually her boyfriend, he didn''t know what to say. "Just talk to her like you usually do; after all, she understands you, and you are boyfriend and girlfriend now. Speak with a doting tone, and try not to be too much of a typical guy, or she''ll be unhappy!" After considering for a long time, Lin Jie finally sent a message. "Since you agreed, let''s go on a date tomorrow." Qin Xiaoxu leaped up excitedly upon hearing this. Her hands grasping the phone were sweating, suddenly feeling that every word Lin Jie said made her so happy. Previously, since Lin Jie hadn''t confirmed their rtionship, she hadn''t dared to show the slight feelings she had for him. But now that they were officially dating, naturally, they could exhibit the affection typical of boyfriends and girlfriends. At this time, sitting in the passenger seat, Han Xuewei received Qin Xiaoxu''s message, looked down, realized Qin Xiaoxu had seeded, and couldn''t help but feel joyful as she said, Explore new worlds at empire "Lin Yi, it really happened! It seems like they''ve confirmed their rtionship." Lin Yi, who was driving, curved his lips and said, "Lin Jie is a good man; your friend won''t be at a loss with him!" Hearing this, Han Xue only smiled slightly. "Of course, I hope she can meet a good man. Lin Jie does seem quite decent, and considering her family background, we all hope they get along well..." As they spoke, their car entered the highway, and they were soon able to reach home. By the time the two of them got home, it was almost midnight. As soon as she stepped out of the front door, Han Xuewei heard the cry of a baby and became a bit tense. She immediately dropped her bag and ran upstairs. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had just parked the car. Seeing Han Xuewei''s bag at the door, he picked it up for her and they both headed to the second floor. When Lin Yi reached the second floor, Han Xuewei was already holding the baby and trying to soothe him¡ªthe one crying was Er Bao. Er Bao was crying in a whimpering tone. Han Xuewei held him and began to sway gently, while at that time Lin Yi''s mother came out but did not disturb her. She went directly to Lin Yi and asked, "Where did you go today? Why are youing back sote? Er Bao was just giving me a hard time!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi replied indifferently, "We went to a ss reunion tonight and came back a bitte." Lin Yi''s mother didn''t say anything more at that moment. Han Xuewei was seriously trying to console Er Bao, who had be much quieter and calmer by now. After all, when Er Bao cried, the other two babies also woke up, watching Han Xuewei with their round eyes. Feeling a bit helpless, Han Xuewei sat down and started to entertain the babies. Lin Yi walked into the babies'' bedroom. Seeing Lin Yi, Han Xuewei couldn''t help but say, "I can take care of the babies here. You must be tired today. Go take a shower first, thene and lull them to sleep after..." Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this and went into the bathroom. Lin Yi was quick with his shower; he emerged from the bathroom in just over ten minutes. Coming out of the room, Lin Yi asked, "Have the babies fallen asleep?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei nodded, "They''re all asleep, and I had the caretaker go in to look after them." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Wife, go take a shower, I''ve already got the water ready for you." "Okay. Thank you, honey!" After saying that, Han Xuewei tiptoed up and pecked Lin Yi on the corner of his lips. Lin Yi smiled and said, "You''re so tired today, how about I help you with your bath?" At his words, Han Xuewei pushed him away with shy protest, "I don''t need that." Having said that, she hurried into the bathroom. Lin Yi watched her rush in, a faint smile on his face. After Han Xuewei finished her bath, she came to the bed, where Lin Yi was holding the hairdryer, blowing her hair with skilled and gentle motions, quickly drying it. Seeing how skillfully Lin Yi was blowing her hair, Han Xuewei joked, "You''re so adept at blow-drying a girl''s hair, surely you haven''t done it often for other girls!" Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled mischievously, pulling her hair over and said, "How could that be? This is the first time I''ve blow-dried a girl''s hair. I practiced so much just for you!" As Lin Yi said this, he gently kissed Han Xuewei''s lips, and they both broke intoughter. Chapter 187 Assets After drying her hair, Lin Yi sat down next to Han Xuewei and began massaging her shoulders, helping her to rx, while Han Xuewei took a deep breath. "I said today at the hotel that I have some exining to do when we got back," Lin Yi began, "In fact, all the businesses I mentioned at the hotel today are real. There''s a lot I haven''t told you because I was afraid it would make you worry..." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei said, "I know you wouldn''t engage in illegal business, so what do I have to worry about?" Seeing Han Xuewei''s trust in him, Lin Yi couldn''t help but feel touched. Meanwhile, Han Xuewei seemed indifferent. Actually, she didn''t care how much money Lin Yi had; what mattered to her was whether his money was earned legally. But observing Lin Yi''s demeanor, it seemed all the money was indeed acquired legally, so she stopped worrying. "Then wife, don''t you want to know how much I''m worth?" Lin Yi asked. Hearing this, Han Xueweiughed, "If you''re willing to tell me, then I will listen; but if you don''t want to talk about it, that''s okay too." Han Xuewei showed great understanding. Surprised by her response, Lin Yi found himself receiving a shoulder massage from her as she turned to him. Feeling spoiled by the attention, Lin Yi listened as Han Xuewei said, "Husband, when you revealed your identity in front of everyone today, I felt so proud!" As she spoke, her eyes shone brightly, clearly filled with admiration. Moved by her words, Lin Yi patted her hand and said, "Actually, Wenqu Building is also mine." At these words, Han Xuewei''s hands froze, and she eximed in disbelief, "Are you serious? How could Wenqu Building be yours?!!" Lin Yi had anticipated that Han Xuewei''s reaction to the news would be excited, but he hadn''t expected her to be so stunned. Staring at Lin Yi, Han Xuewei said, "If Wenqu Building is yours, no wonder the rent for my father''s hotel is so low¡ªit was your doing all along." "My goodness, if we''re talking about Wenqu Building, how much rent must you collect a year? Wow, how can you be so impressive? Do mom and dad know about this?" As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi simply smiled and replied, "I don''t even know how to tell them right now. I''m worried they will need a lot of exnations, and might not even understand," Lin Yi said, somewhat vexed. Hearing this, Han Xuewei stared at him in shock. With a casual smile, Lin Yi said, "I also own Jinguo Hotel and the shopping mall inside Wenqu Building, along with some other real estate. I haven''t been managing them much recently, but all together, they ount for quite a sum of money!" As Lin Yi spoke, Han Xuewei, overwhelmed by the revtions, was already beside herself with excitement. "Husband! With all that said, you truly are a hidden tycoon. In this case, won''t I be the biggest ''bossdy'' in all of Xiangcheng? My goodness!" Ecstatic, Han Xuewei stood up as Lin Yiughed at her reaction. "A husband''s job is to earn money for his wife to spend, isn''t it?" Lin Yi said, picking up the ck Golden Dragon card from the table beside him and handing it to Han Xuewei. "I''ve loaded a hundred million in cash onto this card. Spend it however you like." At these words, Han Xuewei was dumbfounded. Looking at the ck card Lin Yi gave her, she shook her head vehemently, "No, no! I can''t ept this. If I do, I''m certain to be a spendthrift!" Lin Yi just smiled serenely, stuffed the card into her hand, and hugged her. At that moment, Han Xuewei was also extremely thrilled. "That''s great, husband, I truly love you to death." Han Xuewei was extremely excited at the moment, while Lin Yi held her face gently, giving a soft peck at the corner of her lips, and Han Xuewei was also very excited, eagerly responding to him. But just at that moment, the system voice rang out, and Lin Yi felt somewhat interrupted, suddenly pausing. Seeing Lin Yi stop, Han Xuewei didn''t say anything. She stood up and said, "I''ll go warm up a ss of milk for you, you''ve had a tiring day as well." After speaking, Han Xuewei walked out. The system voice, however, was very enthusiastic. "Congrattions to the host, the affection between husband and wife is heating up, therefore you are rewarded with a Supreme Grade God Card! This cardes with an unlimited amount of money, but it can only be used on family members." Lin Yi heard this and was also somewhat astonished. It turned out that the card he was rewarded with had no limits, which meant it could be used without any spending restrictions. He had never received such a card before, and having one now was simply miraculous. At that moment, Lin Yi looked at the card that appeared in his hand with a look of surprise. From some point on, he felt as though his life was starting to unfold ording to the system''s tasks. It all seemed controlled, and although it felt a bit surreal, the oues Lin Yi ultimately received were not bad, so he didn''t think too much about it at the moment. Now, as long as he took good care of Han Xuewei and worked hard to take care of the babies, that was all that mattered. When Han Xuewei came back, she handed Lin Yi a ss of warm milk. After taking a sip, he couldn''t wait to hold Han Xuewei in his arms. Han Xuewei knew what he wanted to do, and both of them smiled, then covered themselves with the nket. ... The next morning, both Han Xuewei and Lin Yi got up early. After all, in theing days, they would need to go back to school, and during their previous leave, they had always been with the babies. But now, having to return to their studies, the babies naturally found it very hard to part with them. So in the morning, sensing that Lin Yi and Han Xuewei wouldn''t be with them in theing days, the babies immediately started crying loudly. Han Xuewei had to soothe them for a long time before they finally calmed down quietly. But there was no choice, they still needed to continue their studies. After all, they both needed to get their diplomas, and with Han Xuewei pursuing even greater aspirations, they couldn''t afford to dy any longer. The children had to be left in the care of Lin Yi''s mother and the family nanny, while Lin Jie, having confirmed his rtionship with Qin Xiaoxu, was in a constant state of panic, not knowing how to face whaty ahead. Qin Xiaoxu naturally understood that it was impossible for the two of them to live together, as they were not that intimate yet. Nevertheless, with Qin Xiaoxu still unemployed, Lin Jie felt he should take even more care of her. So whenever Lin Jie had free time, he searched for a myriad of job opportunities online for her. But in reality, Qin Xiaoxu didn''t have to work since her family was wealthy, which is why he started looking up information on how to interact with girls online. After reading rmendations from various love experts, he still felt very confused. Meanwhile, Lin Hao, who was living with Lin Jie, was dying of boredom. He was feeling very regretful at the moment, Chapter 188 Gu Li Returns He should have known better than to set Lin Jie and Qin Xiaoxu up together. Ever since they announced their rtionship, they were constantly joined at the hip, leaving him no time to y games with Lin Jie. When Lin Jie yed games, she would basically invite Qin Xiaoxu, and he could only y alone. Moreover, if Qin Xiaoxu wanted to move in with Lin Jie, he would have no choice but to skulk away. The thought left him feeling somewhat helpless. Lately, the rtionship between Lin Jie and Qin Xiaoxu had been heating up. After they met up, Lin Jie was even more attentive to Qin Xiaoxu''s recent situation. In his presence, Qin Xiaoxu was very natural, and the two appeared just like a couple in love. Fearing that she was jobless, Lin Jie went ahead and transferred her nearly a hundred thousand yuan at once. Qin Xiaoxu was shocked by the amount. Although the luxury goods she usually bought were expensive, this was different, since it was money meant for living expenses. A hundred thousand yuan for living expenses was indeed substantial, yet they only contacted each other through games and the inte, actually meeting up very rarely. And with Lin Jie being a typical straight man, making any further progress was extremely difficult¡ªhe hadn''t even held her hand once so far. But these past few days, their university had started the new semester as well, and Han Xuewei had also gone to school. While the start of the semester wasn''t much of a hassle, Han Xuewei was busy taking care of a child and going to school. On the morning of the first day of the semester, Lin Yi drove Han Xuewei to school and casually found a parking spot. Together, they headed towards the interior of the school, and when the surrounding students saw them, they all showed looks of amazement. Some junior students who had just transferred to the school had also heard of the campus belle''s reputation and were equally shocked. "My God, did you see that? That''s our Xiangcheng University''s campus belle!" "To be honest, she really lives up to her reputation. Look how beautiful she is!" "Yeah, before I came to this school, I even read about it online. It''s said that the campus belle and her husband already have a child together, and now their family is really happy." "And I heard her husband is a very capable man, very wealthy too. The two of them together are a match made in heaven, truly a role model for our generation." A group of junior students watched the two of them and began to discuss, mostly expressing envy. At that moment, Lin Yi, dutifully holding Han Xuewei''s hand, walked towards the front. They were not in the same department, so they didn''t have sses on the same floor. After Lin Yi dropped Han Xuewei off at her ssroom, he headed back on his own. He always had to take the long way around, but he didn''t mind the hassle¡ªin fact, he enjoyed the experience. Also, after ss, Lin Yi often took Han Xuewei out shopping. Han Xuewei didn''t really like the coffee and milk tea from school, but Lin Yi would enthusiastically buy her a bunch every time, and she would just have to ept them. In fact, when Han Xuewei first came to the school, she had worried about fitting into the group. But now it seemed to be going quite well; there wasn''t the gossip she had expected, and everything was very peaceful. Because she had taken a year off from school, Han Xuewei did not recognize many of her ssmates upon her return. But when they saw Han Xuewei''s appearance, they all knew that she was the most famous school beauty in the whole Xiangcheng University. So, many students were very enthusiastic about interacting with her. What Han Xuewei did not expect was that Gu Li had alsoe back. However, she only wanted to obtain a diploma from Xiangcheng University, just like herself. After all, it could prove that she had graduated from Xiangcheng University, even though she had studied abroad. But her academic performance there wasn''t very impressive, so she had no choice but toe back. But she didn''t say that to others, she just said she didn''t want to stay overseas anymore. Before, she hadpeted with Han Xuewei for the title of school beauty. Although Han Xuewei did not care, there was no helping it, Han Xuewei''s vote count just kept climbing. Even when Gu Li specially bought votes to surpass Han Xuewei, she ultimately couldn''t overtake her. So, seeing this old acquaintance now, Gu Li instantly showed a displeased expression, her eyes filled with malice. She was very aggravated by Han Xuewei, and her personality had always been very willful, with quite a significant princess attitude. As a result, many girls at the school did not think highly of her, even if her family was well-off. They were not like little girls in elementary or middle school who could be swayed by a bit of materialism. They were university students who naturally made friends with like-minded individuals. They would not fawn over her just because she had a bit of money. Gu Li was also very angry. When she returned to school, she originally thought that with her beautiful face, she could be this year''s school beauty of Xiangcheng University. Yet, when she was in the process of enrollment, she heard that Han Xuewei had also returned to this school! She learned that Han Xuewei had left Xiangcheng University for an entire year to get married and have a child, which instantly infuriated her. She had already backed off substantially, so why did Han Xuewei still appear in her life! And now, having to attend the same university as her, this was absolutely intolerable!! Moreover, she learned that Han Xuewei had already had a child, and looking at Han Xuewei''s state, she was stunningly beautiful, not at all like a woman who had had a child. And the title of school beauty of Xiangcheng University was still held by Han Xuewei, igniting intense jealousy in her. However, she felt somewhat consoled when she heard from ssmates that the man Han Xuewei married wasn''t very well-off. Yet, many ssmates additionally revealed that Lin Yi, now, had a very high worth and wasn''t just some nobody, which Gu Li met with skepticism. And since she was jealous of Han Xuewei, she certainly did not wish for Han Xuewei to have married too well. Gu Li had been pampered since childhood, and her father had done business for so many years, turning her into a little princess. As for Han Xuewei, she was just someone from a small city, who honestly wasn''t worth mentioning to her. Moreover, those rumors about her husband Lin Yi being wealthy were just hearsay and hadn''t been confirmed, so she still maintained her sense of superiority. But now she was thinking about applying to transfer to a different ssroom. However, their department only had this one ssroom, so she still had to squeeze in with Han Xuewei, which made her quite irritated. Meanwhile, Han Xuewei was messaging Lin Yi, who had sent her many caring words. Han Xuewei was also very happy, revealing a sweet smile. After replying, a group of ssmates nearby approached her under the pretense of looking at practice problems, intentionally getting close to Han Xuewei in no small number. It seemed that everyone was very willing to hang out with Han Xuewei. Perhaps it was because she had a very amiable personality and was gently beautiful, naturally attracting everyone''s liking. Chapter 189 The Neighbor Brother Han Xuewei, upon arriving in this new environment, hadn''t expected her ssmates to be so kind to her, which pleasantly surprised her. During the first ss, the director had asked everyone to introduce themselves, and many students whom Han Xuewei didn''t know took to the podium to start their introductions. Many were overly attentive towards Han Xuewei, so when introducing themselves, they couldn''t help but nce over at her. Han Xuewei responded with a sweet smile, and just a smile was enough to excite the students considerably. At that moment, Gu Li also took to the podium, and as she introduced herself, Han Xuewei inadvertently looked her way. There had been a conflict between the two in the past, so when Han Xuewei looked at Gu Li, her expression was a bit awkward. And when Gu Li saw Han Xuewei, she just stared at her coldly, not offering any pretense of courtesy, and even rolled her eyes at Han Xuewei. Stay tuned for updates on empire Han Xuewei didn''t seem to mind and merely lowered her head to work on practice questions, not looking at her again. After all, as far as she was concerned, Gu Li was just an old acquaintance, nothing of particr significance. However, these actions of the two were noticed by their ssmates, and from time to time, some would say, "Vivi, I feel like that student has something against you!" "Yeah, she seemed to re at you just now, how rude..." Hearing these words, Han Xuewei just smiled faintly. "It''s nothing, that student is someone I know, she''s a former ssmate of mine." Understanding dawned on the ssmates upon hearing this. "Did she also take a leave of absence to have a baby, just like you did?" Hearing this, Han Xueweiughed awkwardly. "I wouldn''t know about that." For some reason, these university juniors and sophomores were very curious about childbirth and marriage, so they couldn''t help asking on the side, and Han Xuewei answered awkwardly. The bespectacled girl sitting next to Han Xuewei spoke with great enthusiasm, "Vivi, I actually envy you, after all, you can have triplets at once, and by doing so, you won''t even have to consider having a second child." Hearing this, Han Xuewei just sighed and said, "Actually, it''s simpler than you think. Being pregnant, whether it''s with twins or triplets, always carries certain risks. Plus, as time goes by, your stomach gets heavier and heavier, and the weight of the babies will make you feel very tired, so I hope you won''t make the same decision as me in the future..." Han Xuewei spoke gently, and hearing this, the bespectacled girl had a moment of realization and nodded. Nevertheless, she didn''t want to continue asking because as Han Xuewei talked about childbirth, she seemed to exhibit a pained expression; the girl felt she might have been intrusive, so she didn''t ask any further. But Han Xuewei didn''t hold it against her and maintained her gentle demeanor, which made the girl''s fondness for Han Xuewei surge significantly. It wasn''t just the boys, even the girls couldn''t resist Han Xuewei''s gentle charm. After ss, Han Xuewei organized some books, put them in her bag, and walked to the parking lot. Halfway there, a voice called out from behind her. A tall man approached her, looked at Han Xuewei with a hooking smile, and said, "Vivi, I didn''t expect to see you here." Hearing this, Han Xuewei was somewhat surprised and showed a delighted expression when she saw the man. He was dressed in a casual ck outfit and was looking down at her with a handsome smile. This was Han Xuewei''s neighbor from her childhood, a few years older than her. When she was in elementary school, he was already in junior high, and he would sometimese to her house to tutor her when he had the chance. So naturally, Han Xuewei was very excited to see him and said fluently, "Ji Hua brother, I didn''t expect to see you here." The man in front of her was named Mo Jihua; he was a foreignnguage teacher at this school. Seeing Han Xuewei, Mo Jihua also expressed his happiness and said, "I didn''t expect to see you here. Actually, I''ve been working here as a foreignnguage teacher for the past two years." Hearing this, Han Xuewei couldn''t help covering her mouth and eximed, "You''re a foreignnguage teacher at our school, and I haven''t seen you before." Hearing this, Mo Jihua smiled and replied, "I have heard about you. After all, you took a year offst year, so it''s normal that we didn''t bump into each other. I didn''t expect you to get married and have children so quickly..." As Mo Jihua spoke, Han Xuewei felt a bit shy and awkwardly said, "Yeah, it should have been you who got married and had kids first, but I didn''t expect to beat you to it!" Hearing that, Mo Jihuaughed and replied, "Are you looking for your husband after ss now? Isn''t he at the same school as you? He should being over soon." Hearing that, Han Xuewei nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, he should be getting the car now. Oh right, there''s something I wanted to ask you. You moved away before, but I never heard from you after that. Where did you go all these years...?" At Han Xuewei''s words, Mo Jihua''s expression darkened imperceptibly as he said, "After I moved away, my family emigrated for some reasons, and I''ve been living abroad for these past few years before returning." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei gave a faint smile and said, "Yeah, if you hadn''t left in such a hurry back then, maybe our families would still be in touch. Unfortunately, you left too quickly. By the time I asked my mom the next day, she said she didn''t know you had already moved away, without even leaving a phone number." As Han Xuewei spoke, Mo Jihua''s face showed a look of regret. He was about to respond when his words were interrupted by a clear male voice. At that moment, Lin Yi came out and said, "Wife, I''ve been looking for you for so long, and here you are." Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately smiled and walked toward Lin Yi. "Husband! I thought I was going to look for you, but here you are." Hearing this, Lin Yi immediately took Han Xuewei''s hand and said, "Didn''t I see you got out of ss? I thought I would find you in the parking garage, but when you didn''t show up, I came out to look for you." After speaking, Lin Yi followed Han Xuewei''s gaze to Mo Jihua and asked, "Who is this?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei replied gently, "This is my neighbor from before, his name is Mo Jihua. When I was little, I used to call him Ji Hua brother. He''s probably older than you." "This is my husband, Lin Yi." Chapter 190 Buy a Diamond Ring At that moment, when Lin Yi saw Mo Jihua, he just gave a small smile and said, "Hello, I''m Lin Yi!" Then he reached out his hand, and Mo Jihua extended his as well, and their hands sped together. Han Xuewei smiled and said, "Ji Hua brother, now a foreignnguage teacher at our school, we''ll be seeing each other often. From now on, he''ll be Teacher Mo!" As Han Xuewei spoke, Mo Jihua couldn''t help but say, "Vivi, actually, you can still call me Ji Hua brother, after all, you''ve called me that since we were kids." Mo Jihua said tenderly, and upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately felt a sour sensation in his heart. How can this Mo Jihua be so oblivious! With her husband right here, how can he still bring himself to call her sister? Lin Yi felt a bit unhappy inside, but Han Xuewei didn''t have so many guards up, after all, this was the big brother from next door who''d grown up with her. At this moment, Lin Yi looked up at Mo Jihua, who, feeling Lin Yi''s gaze, suddenly felt a bit awkward and said, "Vivi, since your husband is here, why don''t you head back, goodbye." After Mo Jihua finished speaking, he walked away, and Lin Yi watched his retreating figure without saying anything more, just taking Han Xuewei''s hand and walking forward. Han Xuewei seemed to sense that Lin Yi was a bit upset and said, "Husband, do you not like me calling Ji Hua brother?" Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned and couldn''t help but say, "Yes, I think you should call him Teacher Mo. Lin Yi was indeed a bit jealous. After all, Han Xuewei never called him brother. Anyway, he just didn''t like his wife calling another man brother, which he felt was somewhat ambiguous." Hearing this, Han Xuewei just gave a faint smile; she didn''t mind. If Lin Yi didn''t like it, she wouldn''t call him that anymore. Meanwhile, Lin Tian had moved closer to her and said, "Why don''t you call me Lin Yi brother? You were just calling her so sweetly, ''brother''. Now, regardless, you also have to call me Lin Yi brother." Han Xuewei''s face immediately turned red at these words and she hastily said, "Don''t say it like that, it''s not like that. I''ve been close to him since we were kids, that''s why I''ve always called him Ji Hua brother. If you''re going to put it that way, should I call him Brother Mo from now on?" Hearing Han Xuewei wildly testing the limits, Lin Yi directly grabbed her arm, his tone stern. "You can only call him Teacher Mo, then call me Lin Yi brother. Hurry up!" Lin Yi stared at Han Xuewei''s blurred face and couldn''t resist kissing her. Han Xuewei, being teased like this by Lin Yi, suddenly blushed, nervously looking around, thankfully there weren''t many people here. Lin Yi then looked at her with a mischievous smile and said, "If you don''t call me that, then your husband can only keep on kissing you." As Lin Yi moved in closer, Han Xuewei''s entire face was flushed, and she said somewhat shyly, "Lin Yi brother..." Her voice was very soft, and Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "What did you call me? Huh? I didn''t hear it clearly." Han Xuewei''s face was so red it was almost bleeding, and she said, "Lin Yi brother, Lin Yi brother..." Her voice was low, yet it had an enchanting quality to it, and being so close, Lin Yi couldpletely smell her fragrance. Lin Yi was instantly bewitched and quickly stood up straight, saying, "Let''s go back to the car." Seeing Lin Yi''s reaction, Han Xuewei was also somewhat puzzled, but she just followed behind Lin Yi. Lin Yi was acting really strangely today, but only Lin Yi himself knew, "If Han Xuewei keeps calling like that, I really won''t be able to resist and will have to take her right here, right now." After getting back into the car, Han Xuewei frowned and said, "Husband, I think I''m feeling a bit engorged. Please give me the breast pump." As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi handed her the breast pump and couldn''t help saying, "Do you need hubby to help?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei''s cheeks flushed as she replied, "No need, I can do it myself." Continue your adventure at empire As she spoke, Han Xuewei turned her back, and Lin Yi just smiled faintly, finding his shy wife rather amusing. "Since it''s a rare day out, why don''t we go have a meal first, and then I''ll take you shopping for some stuff." Lin Yi suggested, and upon hearing this, Han Xuewei nodded her head. After Han Xuewei finished expressing milk, she passed the breast pump back to Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi noticed she wasn''t wearing her wedding ring and, seeing her fair hand, he was momentarily stunned and couldn''t help asking, "Wife, why aren''t you wearing your ring?" Hearing this, Han Xuewei just smiled lightly and replied, "Husband, it''s not that I don''t want to wear it, but the ring you bought me is really too ostentatious. I''m afraid it would attract too much attention. It might lead to too many questions from ssmates, and I really don''t like that..." As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi also found her point valid and nodded, then said after putting away the breast pump, "Then I''ll take you to buy a new one." What? Han Xuewei was somewhat surprised and looked at Lin Yi, whose expression was very serious, and at that moment, he seemed a bit displeased. She had long noticed Lin Yi''s mood was quite vtile, so she didn''t want to make Lin Yi unhappy, choosing to go along with him. The two drove to the mall and grabbed something to eat, Afterward, Lin Yi took Han Xuewei to an international brand diamond ring store. Opening the car door, Lin Yi took Han Xuewei''s hand and walked inside. The store''s salespeople were top-notch in the country, so they stood very professionally and greeted them warmly, "Good day, sir and madam, how may we assist you?" "Our diamonds here are of extremely high quality, virtually wless, and we offer custom design services as well!" A female sales associate spoke eloquently. Hearing this, Lin Yi just looked on indifferently. The surrounding salespeople were equally astonished to see Han Xuewei''s beautiful face, each showing a look of surprise, while Lin Yi simply said, "I''m here to pick a suitable diamond ring for my wife. Show me the best rings you have that are light and not too mboyant but definitely luxurious." Lin Yi spoke calmly, and the female sales associate immediately understood. She was ustomed to serving wealthy individuals. These clients had a particr trait when selecting rings: some liked big and extravagant, while others preferred something more subtle, yet no less expensive. Quickly, the sales associate went inside, and their manager also came out, as big clients always warranted personal attention from the management. Shortly after, the sales associate brought out several styles and disyed them before Lin Yi, saying, "Sir, look, these are the top-tier diamond rings from our store..."
