Soon, Ye Chen arrived at Good Pregnancy Maternity Hospital.
He walked into the hospital lobby and was about to ask how to get to the operating rooms on the third floor when a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a mask and a hat, came toward him.
After glancing around, the woman lowered her voice. "Are you Ye Chen? Come with me."
Ye Chen recognized her voice as the woman's from the phone call. He nodded and followed her into the private elevator, using her key card to enter.
There were only two people in the private elevator: Ye Chen and the woman.
The woman pulled down her mask, revealing a delicate, sweet face. To his surprise, it was Zhao Shiyu, the adorable dancer of the Rose Girl Group.
"Hi, I'm Zhao Shiyu, Su Ningwei's best friend. Su Ningwei didn't want to bother you, but the situation was just too dangerous, so I took it upon myself to call you over."
Hearing that, Ye Chen felt his heart clench. He hurriedly asked, his face full of worry and anxiety, "Thank you for calling me. How is Su Ningwei doing now?"
"The doctors are trying to save her. Su Ningwei was carrying triplets, and the doctors said the babies had their umbilical cords wrapped around their necks and were suffering from a lack of oxygen, so they had to deliver them early by C-section. Who knew something else would go wrong during the delivery? They're still treating her..." Zhao Shiyu choked up and started crying.
Ye Chen's eyes reddened too. Giving birth was so difficult for women—it was like taking a walk through the gates of hell.
Su Ningwei, babies, please be safe and sound.
If he could, Ye Chen would trade ten years of his life for their safety. He only hoped they could make it through this ordeal unharmed.
Ding!
The elevator stopped on the third floor.
Zhao Shiyu put her mask back on and hurriedly led Ye Chen toward the operating rooms.
In the waiting area outside the operating rooms,
a capable-looking, short-haired middle-aged woman and two young women were anxiously waiting outside.
Ye Chen recognized the two young women. One was cool and beautiful, while the other was charming and alluring. They were Lin Yinyin and Xu Manman, the other two members of the Rose Girl Group.
He also vaguely recognized the other woman. She was probably Zhao Shiyu's manager, Ke An.
Ke An, Lin Yinyin, and Xu Manman glanced at Ye Chen. A flash of admiration crossed their eyes, quickly replaced by hostility.
The kid had a good-looking face, all right. No wonder Su Ningwei had been willing to have his baby.
But Ye Chen's clothes were so shabby. Everything he was wearing probably cost less than two hundred yuan. He had to be broke. How could he possibly be good enough for their Su Ningwei?
If Su Ningwei hadn't genuinely liked Ye Chen, Xu Manman would have rushed over and bitten him twice by now.
In Xu Manman's eyes, Su Ningwei was pure and innocent, a goddess. Yet she'd willingly used Ye Chen as a cure and let him sleep with her...
Ye Chen could understand how Ke An and the others felt. After all, he still couldn't figure out why Su Ningwei had slept with him that night.
Could a handsome face really let a man do whatever he wanted?
No wonder readers these days added books to their libraries, asked for updates, commented, and tipped. It turned out that was because the author was handsome and kindhearted.
But right now, Ye Chen didn't care what Ke An and the others thought of him. He only cared about Su Ningwei's condition.
Zhao Shiyu cleared her throat and introduced them to each other.
As soon as the introductions were over,
the light above the operating room turned green, and the doors opened.
The doctor came out too.
Ye Chen and the others hurried over to ask how things were going.
"How is Su Ningwei?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The surgery went very well. Both mother and babies are safe. She'll be out in a moment."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, a nurse pushed three babies out of the delivery room.
The nurse pushing the babies saw Ye Chen's handsome face and couldn't help taking a second look. She pushed the stroller in front of him and said with a smile, "You must be the babies' father. All three are healthy. Dabao and Erbao are girls, and the youngest is a boy."
In the stroller, three tiny, wrinkled, bright-red newborns with adorably ugly faces half-opened their eyes and looked around at the new world.
Since they'd been delivered by C-section, the three babies had round heads instead of cone-shaped ones.
Ye Chen looked at the three newborns in the stroller, his heart pounding with excitement.
These were his children.
The children he'd had with the goddess-like singer.
He was a father.
And he had triplets: two girls and a boy. He had a complete family all at once.
This was so wonderful.
Along with his shock and joy, Ye Chen also felt a tremendous weight of responsibility!
Three children.
With his current income and family circumstances, how could he provide Su Ningwei and the three babies with a better life?
When was the system going to finish repairing itself?
Forget it. He'd just work harder and take on a few more jobs, so his wife and children could have a better life.
He could go without, but he couldn't let his wife and children suffer.
Ye Chen reached out tenderly and lightly touched Dabao's tiny, soft pink fingertip.
[Ding! Bloodline verification successful! Congratulations, esteemed host, on successfully creating new life. The Perfect Life System has been successfully repaired and activated.] [The treasures of Earth Star's culture are too powerful. For your safety, they will be unlocked one at a time as rewards.] [As long as you complete the assigned tasks, you'll receive all kinds of rewards from the system, reach the pinnacle of life, and begin your perfect life.] [Of course, it's fine if you don't complete the assigned tasks. You just won't receive the corresponding rewards. I'm designed to be a gentle and adorable little girl. I won't self-destruct or electrocute you. I just want to give you the right guidance so you can quickly reach the pinnacle of life and begin your perfect life.] [Latest task: Touch the other two babies to complete bloodline verification and receive a reward.]
The long-missed system's loli-like voice rang in Ye Chen's mind again.
Had the system he'd waited so long for finally been repaired?
It sounded like a good system, so of course he'd trust it.
Touch the other two babies?
A task you could do with your hands and nothing to lose hardly counted as a task, did it?
Only a fool wouldn't do it.
It seemed the system was just looking for an excuse to hand out rewards.
Ye Chen was so excited he could have cried.
His cheat had finally arrived...
Now he could finally take good care of his wife and children.
Su Ningwei was practically an angel sent to save him.
Ye Chen hurriedly reached out and touched the fingertips of the other two babies, completing the task that anyone with hands could do.
[Ding! Bloodline verification successful. Congratulations on completing the bloodline verification task. You've been rewarded with 300,000 yuan in congratulatory money and master postpartum-nanny skills. The funds provided by the system have been legalized. Please use them with confidence.]
Ye Chen's phone vibrated. He opened it and, sure enough, there was a deposit notification:
"Your account ending in 2023 received a bank deposit of 300,000 yuan on December 6 at 9:20. Balance: 350,130.56 yuan. [China Construction Bank]"
This system was pretty thoughtful. It had even given him congratulatory money.
The master postpartum-nanny skills were useful too.
Ye Chen was very satisfied. A huge amount of knowledge suddenly flooded his mind.
His whole body shuddered, as if his meridians had suddenly been unblocked.
His mind was suddenly filled with childcare knowledge and tips for looking after babies.
[Ding! Latest task: Hold all three babies to receive a reward.]
With his master postpartum-nanny skills, Ye Chen—who had desperately wanted to hold a baby but had been too nervous to try—suddenly felt confident. He bent down and reached for Dabao.
Seeing Ye Chen try to pick up the baby, the nurse worried that he might not know how to hold a newborn properly and hurriedly said, "Let me show you how. Newborn babies' bones are still quite soft..."
