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 the last relationship hurt you too much? We’re not in a hurry to become 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 articulate 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 uncomfortable.

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 relationship 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 exclaimed 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 very composed 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—they were probably already calculating 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 villa 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 claimed 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’s company often boasts annual sales of over one hundred million.

Even when their family had yet to face tribulations, 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 accepted Lin Yi’s explanation.

“Son, well done,” his father said with gravity, “but you must not become arrogant and complacent, especially when it comes to stock trading. You must not be hasty for quick success and profit!”

Lin Yi nodded, indicating he understood the advice from his father.

Subsequently, the family of three discussed some of the upcoming 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 planned to schedule the meeting of both sets of parents for tomorrow evening.

He could also take everyone to visit the city villa 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 placed in the villa.

After all, as it was the first time both parties were meeting the parents, Lin Yi still valued etiquette highly.

Although his relationship with Han Xuewei developed abruptly, Lin Yi was willing to accord her the highest level of attention.

Finally returning to the dormitory, Lin Yi lay 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 villa 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 too late, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Han Xuewei.

“Vivi, do you want to go out for some late-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 to come, she could make Lin Yi wholeheartedly devoted to her.

It was only about fifteen minutes later 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, coming 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.
