Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Successful Proposal

The parents of the Han family, citing inconvenience, declined the invitation from their future in-laws and the couple stayed in a hotel.

They were planning to wait until the next day, after the two young people had received their marriage certificate and everything was arranged, before they could leave.

Lin Yi saw the living room filled with things and his heart was brimming with endless emotion.

Time really flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the big decision of his life had been made.

Not only that, but he now had both a wife and a child.

In an instant, he felt he had grown up, with heavy responsibilities weighing on his shoulders.

Everything felt like a dream.

Han Xuewei sat on the sofa resting, leaning back slightly in boundless laziness.

Lin Yi looked up at Han Xuewei.

He noticed that her face seemed fuller than before.

In his memory, Han Xuewei always had a melon-seed face with a sharp chin.

Probably because of her pregnancy, her melon-seed face had turned into an oval one, but it did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Compared to those beauties sculpted and made up through artificial means, Han Xuewei looked naturally graceful and strikingly regal.

Han Xuewei had always been the most beautiful belle at Xiangcheng University. However, she was naturally cold and low-key, focusing completely on her studies, and up to this point, had not dated anyone.

With her natural beauty and slender figure, she became the goddess in the hearts of nearly all the male students at Xiangcheng University.

But no one dared to get too close to her.

Before he was pursued by Li Jingwen, Lin Yi had also been incredibly attracted to Han Xuewei.

However, Li Jingwen had taken the initiative, wholeheartedly devoted to him, taking care of everything he needed.

Lin Yi saw that she was not lacking in looks and was devoted to him, so he agreed to be with her.

But unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the wheel of fate had brought him and Han Xuewei together, and they had reached the point of discussing marriage.

Moreover, due to a series of unforeseen events, they had ended up having three children together.

Han Xuewei had always liked him and was the first to confess her feelings, which indeed surprised Lin Yi. He never thought that the unattainable flower of Xiangcheng University would end up in his own pocket.

Han Xuewei snapped back to reality and noticed that Lin Yi had been staring at her, which made her a bit uncomfortable. Her cheeks turned slightly red as she extended her hands and touched her face, asking, “Is there something dirty on my face?”

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Lin Yi smiled tenderly, shook his head slightly, and said, “Vivi, you are truly beautiful!”

Han Xuewei was stunned on the spot, not expecting Lin Yi to be so direct. Her face blushed crimson, like a cooked shrimp.

With just a few succinct words from Lin Yi, the distance between them had closed considerably, and Han Xuewei found herself reflecting on the past, amazed at how time flies.

She looked up at Lin Yi, remembered that he had an ex-girlfriend, and felt a bit worried. She asked, “Lin Yi, we’re getting our certificate tomorrow, have you really thought it through?”

“If you’re not sure about marrying me, we can postpone the date to get our certificate.”

Lin Yi was surprised and then thought of something. He grasped Han Xuewei’s hand and said, “Vivi, is it because everything is moving too fast? Is it hard for you to adjust all at once?”

“You don’t need to feel that way. I’m not without feelings for you. I was moved and felt emotions for you once, probably back in our freshman year, the first time I saw you, I felt my heart race.”

“But back then, you were so aloof that I didn’t dare to approach you. As for what happened later, I assume you already know, and I do not wish to bring it up again.”

“As for getting married, I have thought it over very clearly. You, Han Xuewei, are the one I, Lin Yi, have decided to spend my life with, the one I will cherish for a lifetime.”

After hearing this, Han Xuewei completely forgot how she was supposed to react. Lin Yi’s words had taken her completely by surprise.

She had never expected the man she cherished to have feelings for her all along.

Could this be what they call mutual affection?

In that instant, Han Xuewei’s eyes sparkled with indescribable excitement.

Feeling her excitement, Lin Yi immediately stepped forward, took Han Xuewei’s hands, and then knelt on one knee.

With the swiftness of lightning, he quickly took out the engagement ring he had secretly purchased and proclaimed, “Miss Han Xuewei, may I ask if you would like to marry Mr. Lin Yi?”

“From this day forward, to support and cherish each other through sickness or health, poverty or wealth, until death parts you. Do you agree?”

Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi, deeply touched by his proposal. She fiercely wiped the tears from her eyes, covering her mouth, fearing that she might start crying out loud if she wasn’t careful.

When Lin Yi didn’t receive an answer right away, he spoke again, “Miss Han Xuewei, please marry me!”

“Yes! Yes! I will!”

Han Xuewei’s tears fell like broken strings of beads as she choked out the words.

Lin Yi stood up and embraced Han Xuewei passionately, gently patting her back and comforting her, “Silly girl, no more tears. Trust me, I will see things through to the end.”

At that moment, a voice from the system suddenly echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, host. As you have made a commitment and provided a complete family for the baby, the system has decided to award you with a 5 million marriage fund.”

“Ding dong!”

The notification of the 5 million reward resounded on Lin Yi’s phone.

What the heck!

There’s even a reward for a successful proposal, and it’s 5 million all at once. Now, providing for his wife and child was no longer going to be a problem.

Lin Yi was overwhelmed with excitement.

At the same time, he resolved that after graduation, aside from accompanying his wife, he would also find a respectable job. He was determined to ask the system how to trigger special tasks.

Right now, making money was the top priority.

The atmosphere between them was harmonious and warm.

After a little while, Lin Yi tenderly asked, “Vivi, you must be hungry after half a day, right? Shall I warm up the dumplings I brought back for you?”

“Mhm, thank you!”

Han Xuewei felt a surge of sweetness and responded in a soft voice.

Knowing that Han Xuewei was pregnant, Lin Yi had looked up relevant information on his phone and knew that expectant mothers could get hungry easily and needed better nutrition than usual.

So during the meal at the hotel, he had purposely packed an extra portion of dumplings to bring back for Han Xuewei’s supper.

The tenderness and thoughtfulness of Lin Yi were beyond what Han Xuewei had ever imagined. Watching him busying around, waves of sweetness washed over her heart.

The villa they lived in was fully furnished and required no additional setup; even the smallest decoration was already placed in its appropriate spot.

In the afternoon, both mothers were very diligent and had cleaned out the master bedroom. They briefly cleaned the rest of the place, making it just about suitable for living.

Tomorrow, they would hire a home cleaning service for a thorough clean-up, after which they could move in with peace of mind.
