Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Lawful Spouses
 

The two of them, having successfully diffused an awkward situation, quickly embraced one another and entered the land 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 villa 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, a large 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 explaining 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 and laid the photos, household registration books, and ID cards in front of the staff.

The staff member looked up, glanced 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 declared 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 parents laugh.

A party of six once again dashed to the relevant stores to procure everything the home was lacking, cleaning out the inventory in one fell swoop. Inevitably, they carried bags large and small back to the house.

Before they left, they contacted a domestic service company first, wishing to have the company 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 a large 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’t come 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 in-laws and son-in-law, finally felt relieved and was also happy for her daughter.

“Vivi, I promise you, as soon as I have time, I will come over right away. If there is anything I can help with, I will certainly not delay.”

“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 relationship, 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 account details later, 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 it comes 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 in-laws 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 place. 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 surely come later,” 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 relationship. 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.
