Is This Even a Proper Skill?

"Ye Chen, you don't have any experience. Don't hold them carelessly—you might hurt the babies," Ke An hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

Xu Manman widened her alluring eyes, her face full of anxiety. "Exactly, Ye Chen, stop right now! Put the baby down! If you hurt the baby, I'll fight you to the death."

Zhao Shiyu and Lin Yinyin were equally nervous. The babies were so tiny that they did not even dare hold them. Ye Chen clearly looked inexperienced too, so how could he just make a move like that? Wasn't he afraid of hurting them?

But the next second, Ye Chen had already picked up Dabao in an extremely proper posture.

"Is this how you hold her?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

The nurse stared at Ye Chen in a daze for a moment before nodding. "That's right, that's exactly how you hold her. Your posture is perfect. It looks like you'll definitely become a qualified and wonderful father in the future."

Ke An looked equally surprised, and her gaze at Ye Chen softened considerably. She had not expected him to be so good at holding a baby. She had thought Ye Chen was a rookie father who knew nothing, but he was far more capable than she had imagined.

Xu Manman merely snorted and curled her lips, saying nothing more. After all, Ye Chen really was the babies' biological father.

When Zhao Shiyu heard the nurse say that, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Chen had performed well. It seemed she had been right to call him.

Ye Chen smiled as he put Dabao down, then went on to hold Erbao and Sanbao.

[ Ding, congratulations on completing the task of holding all three babies. Reward: 100,000 yuan in cash, lactation massage skill, and one box of scar removal ointment. They have been placed in your right pants pocket. Please check them. ]

When Ye Chen heard about the lactation massage skill, countless massage techniques instantly flooded his mind, making his face flush.

Was this even a proper skill?

The scar removal ointment, on the other hand, was quite practical.

Girls all loved beauty. It would be perfect for treating the scar Su Ningwei had been left with from her C-section.

[ Ding! New task: Kiss your wife, Su Ningwei, to receive an additional mysterious grand gift. ]

Kiss his wife, Su Ningwei?

Did that mean Su Ningwei would become his wife?

Ye Chen's heart surged with excitement, and he began looking forward to it even more.

But Su Ningwei had hidden something as huge as giving birth from him. Would she really agree to become his wife?

Thinking of that, Ye Chen became somewhat nervous and worried again.

Just then, the nurse pushed Su Ningwei out of the delivery room. Her face was deathly pale, yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Chen hurriedly placed Xiaobao back in the stroller and stepped forward, carefully taking Su Ningwei's slender hand where it rested on the bed.

"Does it still hurt? You've suffered so much," Ye Chen said, his face full of heartache.

"Ye Chen? Why are you here?" Su Ningwei glanced at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with surprise.

Zhao Shiyu stepped forward and said softly, "I was the one who called Ye Chen. The doctor issued a critical condition notice earlier, and I was afraid that if something happened..."

Holding Su Ningwei's hand, Ye Chen looked at her with tender eyes and said softly, "I'm the children's biological father. Shouldn't I be here?"

"But..." Su Ningwei recalled that wild night and the note she had left behind. A faint flush rose on her pale face.

Su Ningwei had never expected that she would get pregnant after just one night—and with triplets, no less.

Ke An spoke up. "But what? Ye Chen is the children's father. Of course he has to take responsibility and give the children a complete family. Do you think being a single mother is easy? You have three children to care for. A father's love is irreplaceable."

"I left a note..." Su Ningwei said quietly.

Su Ningwei's biological mother had passed away early. Having endured hardship herself when she was young, she naturally did not want her own children to suffer through the same thing.

For all these years, Su Ningwei had secretly loved Ye Chen. Naturally, she wanted to be with him and give their children a complete family.

Otherwise, that night, she would not have let Ye Chen take off her dress.

These days, many men feared marriage and having children. She did not know whether Ye Chen would be willing to marry and become a father at such a young age.

What Su Ningwei had experienced in her family of origin had left her with little faith in marriage or men.

Back then, she had been afraid that Ye Chen would not want the children, so she had not dared tell him. She had planned to raise them alone.

Ye Chen smiled. "What note? I didn't see any note."

In truth, after that night, Ye Chen had developed feelings for Su Ningwei and had never been able to forget her. He had only been afraid that he had remembered wrongly, so he had not dared think too much about it.

When he learned that the woman from that night really was Su Ningwei—the stunning goddess idol he had always liked—Ye Chen's happiness was beyond words.

Now that things had come this far, and they even had children already...

Ye Chen would naturally take responsibility to the very end.

And to Ye Chen, marrying Su Ningwei, giving the children a complete home, taking good care of them, and giving them his most sincere love and the very best of everything was what taking responsibility meant.

"Will you marry me? Let's give the children a complete home together. I'll work hard to be a good husband and a good father. I'll take good care of you all and let you live happy lives," Ye Chen said sincerely, dropping to one knee without a second thought.

Now that he had the system and his life was practically on easy mode, Ye Chen naturally had the confidence to propose to Su Ningwei and promise her happiness.

It had all happened too suddenly, and he had not prepared anything. Once Su Ningwei had recovered from her postpartum confinement, he would make it up to her with a romantic proposal.

Xu Manman rolled her eyes.

Hmph! Ye Chen, that poor loser, really only has a mouth on him.

No flowers, no diamond ring, and he actually dared to propose?

Dream on! Su Ningwei definitely won't agree to marry Ye Chen.

Xu Manman crossed her arms, waiting to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself.

"Who proposes outside an operating room? And without flowers or a ring?" Su Ningwei said with tears glimmering in her eyes, a smile curling across her lips.

Happiness had come too suddenly, and Su Ningwei felt warmth spread through her heart.

All the hardship, worry, grievance, and unease Su Ningwei had endured over the past few months of pregnancy vanished completely because of Ye Chen's words.

When Ye Chen heard that, he felt that he truly had been too hasty and insincere. He immediately stood up, intending to buy a ring and flowers before returning to propose again.

"Hey, don't go! Where are you going? Aren't you supposed to take care of me and the babies?" Su Ningwei hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen's hand with her other hand and asked anxiously.

Afraid of tugging at Su Ningwei's wound, Ye Chen immediately stopped and bent down. "I'm going to buy flowers and a diamond ring. I'll be right back."

"I was just saying that. It's enough that you have the intention. I don't need flowers or a diamond ring. I'll marry you," Su Ningwei hurriedly said.

Su Ningwei had actually agreed!

Ye Chen's heart felt as sweet as honey.

Su Ningwei truly was an angel.

⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾*

Ye Chen kissed the back of Su Ningwei's fair hand and said solemnly, "Thank you for being willing to marry me. Once you've recovered from your postpartum confinement, I'll definitely make up the proposal ceremony. I'll be good to you and the babies for the rest of my life."

"Mm." Su Ningwei nodded happily and shyly.

Xu Manman was utterly stunned, feeling as if her face had been slapped again and again.

This isn't scientific!

Love-brained people are terrifying. Su Ningwei actually agreed so easily?

Other than being handsome, Ye Chen has nothing. Why him?

Love really is a mental illness. It's simply incurable.

Ke An, Zhao Shiyu, and Lin Yinyin exchanged glances. They felt that Ye Chen was actually quite decent. At the very least, he was responsible, and he was tall and handsome too.

Matters of the heart really could not be explained. Only the person wearing the shoes knew whether they fit.

As long as Su Ningwei herself felt happy, that was enough.
