Su Ningwei hurriedly took Ye Chen's hand, her face full of guilt and heartache as she said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have squeezed your hand so hard. It must hurt, right? Don't let me hold your hand next time; I just couldn't control myself earlier."
Ye Chen pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped away the sweat and tears from Su Ningwei's face, his eyes filled with tenderness and concern. "It doesn't hurt. Aren't husband and wife supposed to share in both joy and sorrow? I only hate that I cannot suffer in your place."
"Hubby, it's so good to have you here..." Su Ningwei looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of affection.
Su Ningwei thought to herself that having met such a wonderful man, the children were worth the birth, and no matter how much she suffered, it was all worth it.
"I will always be by your side from now on, accompanying you. Do you still feel any pain?" Ye Chen embraced Su Ningwei, gently patting her back as he spoke softly.
Su Ningwei blushed and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore, but it seems like a lot of lochia has been discharged. It feels wet and very uncomfortable; I want to change my maternity pad..."
"Change the pad? I'll help you with that right now." Ye Chen's face also flushed, and he hurriedly turned to grab a fresh maternity pad and a pair of disposable underwear.
Ye Chen lifted the quilt.
Su Ningwei nervously and frantically reached out to adjust her hem, terrified that if Ye Chen saw her belly, he would be disgusted by her.
After all, she had been carrying triplets, and no matter how carefully she had controlled it, stretch marks had still appeared on her belly. Her once smooth, fair skin was now covered in marks.
Ye Chen naturally saw all of Su Ningwei's movements, and his heart ached even more. Fortunately, he had the scar-removal ointment provided by the system.
"It must be very ugly..." Su Ningwei lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Ye Chen ruffled the top of Su Ningwei's hair and said with a gentle expression, "It's not ugly at all. These are the exclusive medals of honor for a great mother. But don't worry, I have a jar of ointment that can treat these stretch marks, including the C-section scar. Once your wound heals, we'll give it a try."
"Really? There's such a miraculous ointment? Where did you buy it?" Su Ningwei asked, her face full of joy.
Ye Chen nodded and replied, "It's true. I happened to buy it from an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but I can no longer find him. I only have this one jar."
Su Ningwei said, "So that's how it is. Then this medicine must be too precious. Wouldn't it be a waste to use it on my belly? Besides, the scars aren't visible when I'm wearing clothes. Why don't we save it for now?"
"It's for you to use. It's never a waste, no matter where it's applied."
Ye Chen carefully helped Su Ningwei change into a fresh, clean maternity pad.
By this time, Su Ningwei's face was already as red as a ripe peach.
[Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden task: helping your wife change her maternity pad.]
[Ding, the system's critical hit has been triggered. Congratulations on receiving a cash reward of 100,000 yuan.]
[Ding, congratulations on activating the "Photographic Memory" skill.]
[Ding, congratulations on receiving a Mercedes-Benz GLS seven-seater luxury top-trim vehicle. The paperwork is complete, the documents are ready, and the 4S dealership has been notified. The car will be delivered to the hospital within the day. Please keep an eye on your phone.]
There was actually such a hidden task?
The system really went to great lengths to make his life more perfect.
The photographic memory skill was simply an essential cheat code.
With this skill, he would never have to worry about forgetting lyrics while singing again.
Learning anything would be simple; it was practically heaven-defying.
Ye Chen felt a sense of absolute clarity in his mind.
He took a careful look at a product manual lying on the table.
Even with such dry and boring content, Ye Chen memorized it at a single glance.
It was archived in his mind just like a photograph.
It was incredibly clear.
This feeling was truly magical and exhilarating.
If he were to take exams or get certifications, wouldn't he pass with ease?
Ye Chen's phone vibrated with the familiar notification again:
"Your card ending in 2023 received a deposit of 100,000 yuan on December 6th at 16:45. Balance: 1,050,130.56 yuan. [China Construction Bank]"
Easily earning a hundred thousand in a day, he had become a man with a net worth of over a million.
Getting rich overnight was truly a wonderful feeling.
And this Mercedes-Benz GLS seven-seater luxury top-trim vehicle—it really was a case of getting exactly what he wanted. It was quite satisfying.
Please provide the Chinese text you would like me to translate. I am ready to revise it into natural, punchy English for you.
Wife, children, house, car, and a private stash—all within a single day, everything was complete.
In the past, Ye Chen wouldn't have even dared to imagine this; the system was truly powerful.
Ye Chen began to ponder how he should manage this million-plus yuan; it would be a shame to just let it sit in the bank earning interest.
Making money work for you was the true path to prosperity.
However, Ye Chen had never had much in savings, so his knowledge of financial management was a significant weakness.
Ye Chen decided that when he had some free time, he would study it properly.
Su Ningwei blushed and thanked him, "Thank you."
"No need to be so polite from now on, unless you don't consider me your husband." Ye Chen ruffled the top of Su Ningwei's hair.
"I know." Su Ningwei had long since accepted Ye Chen in her heart; if she didn't view him as her husband, why would she have let him help her with such private and embarrassing matters?
"You must be hungry. I'll go cook you a bowl of chicken noodle soup to tide you over."
As he spoke, Ye Chen turned and headed to the kitchen.
The chicken soup that had been simmering since noon was already emitting a rich, savory aroma.
He dropped the thin noodles and green vegetables into the boiling water to cook.
After skimming the fat off the chicken soup, he added the cooked noodles and vegetables, then topped it off with shredded chicken leg meat, and it was ready.
Ye Chen carried the steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup and placed it on the adjustable plastic table over the hospital bed.
"It's ready to eat, be careful, it's hot."
"It smells so good~"
Catching the scent, Su Ningwei prepared to sit up on her own to eat.
Afraid that she might strain her wound, Ye Chen hurried forward to help her sit up properly.
Su Ningwei took a bite and praised it repeatedly, "It's delicious, not greasy at all, and there's no gamey taste. How did you do it?"
"It's all in the love I put into it. There's more in the pot if you finish this."
"No wonder it's so good. Everyone says that giving birth and raising a baby makes you lose weight, but with you cooking such delicious food, I'm definitely going to get fat."
"So what if you get fat? Whether you're fat or thin, you'll always be a fairy in my eyes."
"You have such a sweet tongue."
Su Ningwei felt wonderful hearing this, and the noodles tasted even better.
A while later.
A nurse came by to take the three babies for a bath.
"A-Chen, I'll be fine on my own. Why don't you go see how the babies are bathed? Take some videos for me while you're at it, I want to see." Su Ningwei looked curious.
"Alright, call me if you need anything."
Ye Chen said, following the nurse to a bathing room partitioned off by glass.
A crowd of new fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and maternal grandparents were all pressed against the glass, watching the babies inside floating in the water with swim rings around their necks.
Seeing Ye Chen bring his three babies over for a bath, their eyes were filled with envy.
