Chapter 14

Making a late-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 very comforted, 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 playing 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 could come 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 accepted it yet, I want to follow your opinion.”

“This is the proper courtesy, go ahead and accept 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 account number, for large 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-in-law 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 Yi lay down, his ear against Han Xuewei’s stomach, and listened intently.

“Daddy’s good babies, are you happy in mommy’s tummy? When can you come out and meet your handsome dad?”

“You must be good, okay? Mommy is already working so hard; don’t you fuss.”

Lin Yi lay 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 incoming 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 account 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 regular worker definitely couldn’t make that much money in a year!

Even for those who ran their own companies, there might be months when their businesses didn’t do so well and they couldn’t earn that much.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: virtual companies and investments are really too illusory, and someday someone would see through it all.

If worst came to worst, should he really start his own company to legitimize all these sources of income? Even a family of five’s needs could be met with dignity.

However, there was no rush to start a company, 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, communicating 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 could come 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 uncontrollably 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.
