From now on, you'll manage all the household finances.

Inside the brocade box were three small gold pendants tied with red strings; compared to Zhao Shiyu's three gold necklaces with longevity lock pendants, they looked far more modest.

"Thank you!" Su Ningwei smiled and accepted them, not minding the difference at all, for these were a heartfelt gesture from her dear friends.

Seeing that the atmosphere was pleasant, Ye Chen knocked on the hospital room door and walked inside.

Li Jiaojiao, dressed in designer labels, turned her head toward Ye Chen, her eyes filled with amazement.

She hadn't expected Ye Chen to be even more handsome than in his photos, easily outclassing the trendy young idols in the industry.

With a physique and face like that, who wouldn't be smitten?

With genes this good, it was no wonder Su Ningwei had fallen for him.

However, Li Jiaojiao certainly wouldn't be swayed.

To Li Jiaojiao, money was what mattered most.

What good was being handsome if you were broke?

Could you eat your looks?

Ye Chen pretended not to have heard their conversation and greeted them with a smile.

"Wow, how romantic! It's actually Sister Weiwei's favorite Red Sleeve roses." Zhao Shiyu looked at the roses in Ye Chen's hands, her expression full of envy.

Ye Chen set down the fruit he was carrying and handed the flowers to Su Ningwei.

Su Ningwei took the bouquet, her smile exceptionally sweet, and said with a heart full of joy, "Thank you, I love them."

"There's even a little card! How thoughtful. What does it say? Let me see too." Xu Manman had sharp eyes and spotted the small card tucked into the bouquet.

Su Ningwei took the card down, and upon seeing the romantic words written on it, she couldn't help but blush, feeling a warmth spread through her heart.

After Xu Manman took a peek, she couldn't help but give herself a light slap. How pathetic, she had insisted on leaning in just to get a mouthful of public displays of affection.

Zhao Shiyu's eyes crinkled with a smile; seeing Su Ningwei and Ye Chen so loving toward each other, she could finally set her mind at ease.

Li Jiaojiao, however, was filled with annoyance. It was just a bunch of cheap roses and some free romantic words—what was there to show off?

A pauper was a pauper; he could only afford these worthless trinkets. If he had any real ability, he'd be gifting a giant diamond ring, a luxury car, or a mansion.

Su Ningwei carefully tucked away the card Ye Chen had written.

This was the first love letter Ye Chen had ever written to her; she had to store it away properly.

When the time came, she would have these flowers preserved as everlasting flowers so she could keep them forever.

Seeing that Ye Chen had returned, the three little ones were also drifting off to sleep.

Just then, the nurse came by for her rounds.

Fearing they would disturb the rest of Su Ningwei and the three babies, Zhao Shiyu and the others decided to head back first.

Ye Chen also received the paternity test report from the hospital.

The three babies were indeed Ye Chen's biological children.

After the doctors and nurses had left the room, and Li Mei had gone to the kitchen to cook, Su Ningwei pressed a bank card into Ye Chen's hand and said, "This card is for you."

"Is this your bank card?" Ye Chen held the card, which still carried a hint of warmth, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Su Ningwei nodded, tugged on Ye Chen's sleeve, and whispered into his ear, "Yes. I'm a bit reckless with my spending, so from now on, you should manage the family finances. The password is 666888. The two-bedroom apartment I was renting before is a bit too small. Could you help pick out a larger place? If you can't find anything suitable, renting is fine for now as long as it's clean and tidy. We can buy a place later when we find the right one."

Su Ningwei knew that Ye Chen hadn't had an easy life over the past few years.

With an elderly father to care for at home and a younger sister who had just started university, his finances were surely tight.

Now that the babies were born, everything cost money, and he hadn't had the time to go out and work.

Su Ningwei was afraid of hurting Ye Chen's pride, yet also worried about putting him in a difficult position.

That was why she had intentionally claimed to be reckless with money, just to hand the card over to him.

The gentle, warm words by his ear scorched Ye Chen's heart, leaving him feeling deeply touched.

Su Ningwei's intentions were so clear, her consideration so tender.

Ye Chen felt a sting of emotion at the corners of his eyes.

"There's no need. Don't worry, I've already arranged for a house and a car. I have money—though perhaps not as much as you, it's enough for our current needs. I'll work hard to earn even more than you in the future," Ye Chen said, stroking the top of Su Ningwei's hair with a gentle expression.

With such a wonderful wife by his side, he naturally had to work twice as hard.

"You've already arranged it?" Su Ningwei's eyes widened in surprise.

Where could Ye Chen have earned so much money?

She remembered that night, when Ye Chen had been drugged by someone.

Could it be that Ye Chen...

"That's right, I got lucky and made some money through stock market investments," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Ye Chen had already figured out how to explain the source of his funds to those around him last night.

Ye Chen lowered his head to kiss Su Ningwei's forehead, placing the bank card back into her palm.

"This is your money, keep it as your own little nest egg. Although most of my money is currently in the stock market, you don't need to worry about living expenses. Just focus on your postpartum recovery, and if there's anything you want to buy, just tell me. As long as I can afford it, I will buy it for you," Ye Chen said gently.

Su Ningwei looked up and studied Ye Chen carefully; he didn't look like someone trying to act tough beyond his means.

It seemed she had overthought things.

Ye Chen simply wasn't that kind of person; otherwise, given his circumstances, he would have made it big a long time ago.

Su Ningwei nodded and replied, "Mm, I understand. But what's mine is yours, so there's no need to draw such clear lines. While stock market returns are high, they are also volatile. Now that we have children, we should look for a stable project and make long-term investments."

"Alright, I'll listen to you," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

For others, the stock market might be a rollercoaster, but for Ye Chen, bolstered by his system, it was truly just a way to rake in cash.

However, keeping his wife happy was the most important thing right now.

Su Ningwei stayed in the hospital for a full seven days.

During this time, Ye Chen decorated their new home and added quite a few things.

He was just waiting for Su Ningwei and the three babies to move in.

After checking Su Ningwei's incision, the doctor said, "The wound is healing very well, though the uterine incision will require more time to recover. You can be discharged today, but you must be careful with your recovery once you get home. Follow the nursing instructions, avoid strenuous exercise, or it may lead to pain. Come back for a follow-up in 42 days."

"Understood, thank you, Doctor," Su Ningwei and Ye Chen replied in unison.

Ye Chen went downstairs to handle the discharge procedures.

The surgery and hospitalization fees totaled over eighty thousand, just under ninety thousand.

For the Ye Chen of the past, this might have been difficult, but for the current Ye Chen, it was a drop in the bucket.

Within these seven days, the stock Ye Chen had bought surged for three consecutive days.

Ye Chen sold at the peak and immediately bought into another stock, which also rose for three days straight.

It was simply exhilarating.

As for the ninety thousand in surgery and hospital fees, Ye Chen didn't even blink.

He swiped his card and paid all the expenses.

Ye Chen returned to the ward.

Li Mei had already packed up all their bags and belongings.
