A Family of Four Certified by the System

Seeing Mama Zhang firmly refuse, Lin Yi could only look for another opportunity.

The little one was still young, and Mama Zhang was afraid he would catch a chill. She hurriedly urged, "Wanqing, hurry and take Dabao to the car."

"Okay, Mama Zhang. I'll get in the car first, then."

Mama Zhang waved her hand, then pulled Lin Yi aside and said earnestly, "Xiao Yi, it hasn't been easy for Wanqing to go through pregnancy and childbirth alone. Mama Zhang can tell you're a good boy, and you'll take good care of them."

"Mama Zhang, don't worry. I definitely will."

"All right, don't keep Wanqing waiting too long. You should hurry home."

"I'm old, and I can't bear goodbyes, so I won't see you out."

"Be careful on your way home."

"We will, Mama Zhang."

With that, Mama Zhang went inside, reluctance showing in her eyes. Her daughter and son weren't by her side, and the old woman was stubborn. Su Wanqing was the only person she got along with.

Seeing this, Lin Yi said nothing more. He simply placed the stack of cash in his hand outside Mama Zhang's door.

"Honey, let's go home."

After Lin Yi got into the car, Su Wanqing still hadn't seen Mama Zhang, so she asked, "Where's Mama Zhang?"

"She said she couldn't bear goodbyes, so she isn't seeing us off."

"Oh."

Su Wanqing nodded, tears welling in her eyes. Back when she was a single mother, Mama Zhang had taken great care of her, and she had long regarded Mama Zhang as family. Suddenly parting from her was hard.

Seeing how sad Su Wanqing looked, Lin Yi hurriedly comforted her. "Our home is nearby. If you miss Mama Zhang, you can come back and see her whenever you want."

"That's right."

Su Wanqing woke as if from a long dream and held back the tears about to fall. How had she not thought of that? She already knew where Lin Yi lived from when she had brought Tangtang to him.

"Shall we go home, then?"

"Mm."

Lin Yi pressed the accelerator and drove toward home. Mama Zhang heard the car start and came out after a while, but by the time she reached the door, the car was long gone.

As she went back inside, she saw the stack of cash Lin Yi had left on the ground and sighed. "Oh, I'll hold on to this money for you two."

"I'll give it back when you need it."

With his wife and child in the car, Lin Yi became extremely cautious and drove very slowly.

Su Wanqing saw that even people on electric bikes outside were going faster than Lin Yi. She smiled and said, "You can drive a little faster."

"You two national treasures are in the car, so safety comes first."

Lin Yi grinned. Their family was finally going to be reunited.

"Wah~"

"Eh~"

"Giggle~"

Seeing Dabao laughing so happily, Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Dabao, what's making you so happy?"

"Are you happy to be riding in the car?"

"Wah~"

"Come on, Mommy will hold you up so you can see the scenery outside."

With that, Su Wanqing held the little one upright and raised her head to look at the colors outside the window. The little one was delighted, patting the car window with his fair, tender little hands.

"Wah~"

"Whoo~"

"That tall, lush green thing is a tree."

"Giggle~" Seeing such marvelous scenery, the little one waved his hands.

Seeing how happy the little one was, Su Wanqing was happy too. "Hubby~ look, Dabao seems to really like going out to play."

"Yes, honey. Wait, did you just call me hubby?"

"Huh? You must have heard wrong. I... I did not."

Su Wanqing was bashful. Just now, she had accidentally... called him that. It felt as though the words had come out without going through her brain.

"Uh, all right. But honey, why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital and have you checked?"

"N-no need. It's just a little warm in the car. That's why."

Su Wanqing hurriedly lowered her head. Lin Yi had almost noticed. Seeing that his wife was fine, Lin Yi was relieved.

When they arrived home, Su Wanqing carried Dabao inside, just as Zhang Meilan came out holding Tangtang.

The two women looked at each other, but they were secretly sizing each other up.

Zhang Meilan wondered, Why has Brother Lin brought another woman and child home? What will happen to Tangtang now? Once she has a stepmother, her father will become a stepfather too.

Su Wanqing, meanwhile, was somewhat angry. Lin Yi had said he only wanted her as his wife, so what was this woman doing in the house? And she was holding Tangtang, too.

Lin Yi brought some of the packages into the house. He sensed that something was off about the atmosphere between the two women.

When he saw the look in Su Wanqing's eyes, as if she wanted to stab him, Lin Yi was certain they had gotten the wrong idea. He spoke awkwardly.

"Honey, this is the maternity and infant caregiver I hired for Tangtang."

"Meilan, this is the children's mother, their birth mother."

After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, both women let down their guard.

Thinking of what she had said to comfort Lin Yi earlier, Zhang Meilan wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground. So the babies' mother really had just been away from home, nothing more.

Then the two women greeted each other.

"Sister-in-Law Lin, my name is Zhang Meilan."

"Hello, my name is Su Wanqing."

The two women smiled at each other. Looking more closely, Zhang Meilan realized that Tangtang was so pretty because she had inherited her mother's good genes.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Suddenly, Su Wanqing felt bloated and ached in her stomach. She handed Dabao into Lin Yi's arms and asked anxiously, "Hubby, where's the bathroom?"

"Straight ahead, in the middle."

With that, Su Wanqing ran over. But Lin Yi had listened very carefully just now. Su Wanqing had called him hubby! This time, winning his wife's heart was just around the corner.

Then, looking at Tangtang in Zhang Meilan's arms, Lin Yi asked with concern,

"Meilan, has Tangtang fallen asleep?"

"The little one just fell asleep."

"All right, put her on the bed in the bedroom."

Each of them held a baby, and Dabao had fallen asleep too. Then the two babies lay side by side in the middle of the bed, soft and cuddly and utterly adorable.

"Brother Lin, is the little baby on the left a boy or a girl?"

"A boy. She's Tangtang's older brother."

"Oh."

Zhang Meilan nodded. So Sister-in-Law Lin had given birth to boy-girl twins. Brother Lin was truly blessed.

Now that there were two little babies in the house, Lin Yi thought for a moment and said to Zhang Meilan, "Meilan, another baby will definitely mean more work for you. From now on, your salary will be forty thousand a month."

"Huh? Brother Lin, there's no need for a raise. You were already paying me extra."

"It's all right. Save up a little more for your dowry."

"Oh, right, my wife has some postpartum ailments. Make her some food now."

"Okay, Brother Lin. I'll go right away."

With that, Zhang Meilan went to the kitchen. She was glad to have met such a good employer as Lin Yi. Of course, it wasn't because he paid so much, but mainly because he was a good person.

After Zhang Meilan left, Lin Yi lay on his stomach on the bed, looking at the two little ones. Then a mechanical notification sounded in his head.
