Ye Chen held Su Ningwei's hand and said, "There are four people in my family: me, my dad, my mom, and a younger sister who is still in college. They are all very easy to get along with. My dad's health isn't great and he needs someone to look after him, so I plan to tell them this good news once you've finished your postpartum recovery, and then take you and the babies back home to meet them."
"Alright, I'll leave the arrangements to you," Su Ningwei replied with a smile.
"Do your parents know about our current situation? What are the wedding customs like in your hometown? I want to make sure I'm prepared," Ye Chen asked.
Ye Chen had already guessed that Su Ningwei's family background was certainly not simple.
The Ye Chen of the past might have lacked the confidence for this.
But with the system's support, Ye Chen naturally felt no fear.
Su Ningwei's gaze dimmed for a moment before she said, "My mother passed away, and my father found me a stepmother and had a younger brother with her. They don't know about me having the babies either. Hmm... I can make my own decisions regarding my life. You don't need to worry about them. There's no need for a dowry or anything like that; as long as we live well, that's enough. We aren't going to be living with them anyway."
"Alright, from now on, my home is your home. Whatever others have, you will have too." Seeing Su Ningwei's disappointment, Ye Chen stroked the top of her hair and said with a gentle, tender expression.
As for what kind of people Su Ningwei's family were, there would always be opportunities to learn about them later.
After lunch, Su Ningwei fed the three babies.
Ye Chen hummed the song "Baby": "My baby, baby, giving you a little sweetness, letting you sleep soundly tonight. My little imp, my little imp, teasing your brows and eyes, making you love this world..."
Newborns in their first month mostly just ate, pooped, and slept; they stayed awake for very short periods.
Soon, the three babies were lulled to sleep by Ye Chen's gentle singing.
"Ah Chen, what song were you just singing? It sounds so good. I've never heard it before—is it an original of yours?"
Su Ningwei was somewhat mesmerized as she listened to Ye Chen hum.
She had to admit, Ye Chen's voice was incredibly gentle and pleasant while singing the melody.
"Hmm, I just hummed it on the spot. Do you like it? If you do, I'll sing it for you," Ye Chen said in a low voice as he walked to the bedside.
Sorry, Teacher Zhang Xuan, Ye Chen thought to himself. On Blue Star, this song is mine now. I will make sure this song becomes a hit here.
Su Ningwei nodded repeatedly. "I like it, I want to hear it. You're so talented! Even a song you hummed on the spot sounds this good. Those companies really have no vision; how could someone as outstanding as you not be famous yet?"
"I only found this inspiration after becoming a dad," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
This was half-truth, half-lie. Ye Chen had only activated the system after having children, which unlocked these tracks from Earth Star.
Before this, Ye Chen truly had no talent for composition.
"So this is the first song you've created? Do you plan to write one for me too?" Su Ningwei smiled and hooked her arms around Ye Chen's neck.
Ye Chen smiled and gave Su Ningwei's pink lips a dragonfly-like peck. "Of course I do, but you'll have to wait until the day I propose to hear it."
"You say that, and now I'm so looking forward to it. When will you propose to me?" Su Ningwei asked with a smile.
Ye Chen replied, "It's a secret. If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore. Lie down properly, and I'll sing for you."
"Hmm, stay with me." Su Ningwei hooked her arms around Ye Chen's neck and pulled back with force.
The two of them tumbled into the soft, large bed.
Ye Chen began to hum softly.
Listening to the singing, Su Ningwei's eyes grew heavy, and she drifted into a sweet dream.
Ye Chen, however, was itching to test his "Instrument Mastery" skill to see just how masterful it really was.
He had no intention of sleeping.
Ye Chen climbed out of bed on tiptoe and walked out of the bedroom.
He went to the music room.
Sitting at the piano, Ye Chen fluently played Jay Chou's "Love Confession Balloon."
The piano music was melodious and enchanting.
It was truly a classic.
Ye Chen couldn't help but hum along.
Suddenly, an idea struck him on how to take care of his wife and children at home while also becoming famous.
The various short-video and live-streaming platforms on Blue Star were booming; it was the perfect time to jump in.
Ye Chen decided to use these platforms and his spare time to work from home and build his fame first.
This way, he wouldn't neglect his wife and children.
After all, he could let everyone see his talent and excellence directly.
Who would want to be called a "kept man" who only became famous because of his wife?
Ye Chen wanted everyone to see that he was also outstanding and that he and Su Ningwei were the perfect match.
Only then would his life be considered perfect.
Sorry, you big shots of Earth Star, I'll be taking these first.
Ye Chen immediately applied for copyrights for the four songs in his mind: "Love Confession Balloon," "Friends," "Baby," and "Lonely Warrior."
Blue Star placed great importance on intellectual property, and the application process was very convenient.
After the copyright application was completed.
Ye Chen set up his phone and turned on the recording mode.
He held his guitar.
Thinking of his three adorable babies, he gently played and sang a segment of the song "Baby."
In the video, Ye Chen looked calm, handsome, and exceptionally gentle and charming.
His perfect voice, paired with the classic track, sounded incredibly moving and infectious.
Afterward, Ye Chen sat down at the piano and began to play and sing "Lonely Warrior."
The stirring, uplifting vocals accompanied the piano music.
It echoed throughout the practice room.
"...I love you walking the dark alley alone, I love your unyielding posture, I love how you've faced despair and refused to shed a tear.
I love your tattered clothes, yet you dare to block the gun of fate, I love how you are so much like me, with the same scars. Will you go?
Are you worthy? This tattered cape. Will you fight? Fight! With the humblest of dreams!
To the whimpers and roars in the dark night, who says only those standing in the light are heroes..."
After recording the two songs.
Ye Chen checked the recorded videos and found no issues.
The angle was great, and he looked very handsome.
Although the sound quality couldn't compare to a professional recording, it was good enough.
Ye Chen extracted the climax segments of the songs.
After editing them.
He registered an account named "Singing Orange" on major platforms and uploaded these two performance clips.
As for the song "Love Confession Balloon," Ye Chen wanted to save it to sing for Su Ningwei, so he didn't record a video, merely playing and singing it to reminisce.
As for the song "Friends," he would release it in the next video.
These two classic tracks of different styles already had enough impact to completely crush most of the songs on Blue Star.
Good things shouldn't all be released at once.
While he had some free time.
Ye Chen transferred the fifty thousand yuan he owed to Cheng Tong.
At the same time, he sent Cheng Tong information on a stock, along with the entry and exit points.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Chen's phone vibrated from time to time.
He took out his phone to check.
Underneath the two videos, there were nothing but red notification dots for likes and follows.
The number of shares and saves was also very high.
The comment section had completely exploded.
