NOVEL NEXT 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 couple comes 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 placed it in their shopping cart, suggesting they look through it later.
When they reached the taxi stand, a car happened to come 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 placed 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 the later 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 either come from a substantial background or a distinguished family.
In either case, if handled properly, they could certainly become a big client for her.
Han Xuewei glanced 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 planning to eat lunch out, or will you come 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 plan, 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 to come 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 Yi laughed and said, "That's right. So we absolutely need something classy. Just going to a random place 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 Villa. 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 Villa? 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 Villa; 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 and lacked a sense of ceremony.
"Driver, please take us to Piaoxue Villa 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 Villa.
Piaoxue Villa, 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 the landscape, but Lin Yi caught hold of her arm. That's when she came back to her senses, belatedly 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 villa attendant approached and simply greeted, "Mr. and Mrs., welcome! Can I assist you with anything?"
Lin Yi responded, "We've come 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 according to Han Xuewei's tastes, handed them to the attendant for preparation, and then leisurely supported Han Xue, soaking in Piaoxue Villa'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, accompanied 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."
