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.
After last night's incident, they felt even closer to each other. Like lovers who had just started dating, although not completely 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 become more tender from being stiff.
"Husband, have you told your friends and classmates 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, becoming the treasure in my heart," he added.
Han Xuewei walked for a while, her beautiful form enwrapped as she turned her head to glance 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 desolation 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 a large 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—we 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 my lack 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 place 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 related 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."
