Chapter 21: Chapter 21 I’m the Chef
After organizing the content of the books, Lin Yi reflected on how Han Xuewei usually behaved in daily life.
Lin Yi found that Han Xuewei had never really shown any unusual tendencies, except that compared to other women, she seemed to be a bit sleepier, taking just a few extra minutes to rest.
There was a slight change in her dietary habits; her appetite seemed to have improved quite a bit.
Beyond that, Lin Yi hadn’t noticed anything special.
“This is good too, suffering less is always better. Otherwise, if she were carrying triplets again, that would be excessively hard,”
Lin Yi thought to himself.
Suddenly, Lin Yi remembered that the book also mentioned that it was essential for pregnant women to exercise. Not only would it help the baby’s development, but it’s also particularly beneficial for the expectant mother.
“In the coming days, I should sign my wife up for a prenatal yoga or swimming class,” Lin Yi immediately thought to himself.
“Let her exercise well to keep herself and the four of them healthy.”
“Of course, all of this still depends on whether Han Xuewei is willing. If she doesn’t like it, then never mind,” he added.
It was not until the afternoon that Han Xuewei came out of the bedroom.
As Han Xuewei passed the study, she saw Lin Yi engrossed in writing and drawing.
She noticed several books and a mobile phone in front of Lin Yi, and he was holding a notebook in his hand.
Han Xuewei walked in through the door and hugged Lin Yi from behind, asking softly, “Husband, what are you doing?”
Lin Yi turned around with a tender smile and said, “Didn’t that salesperson give us a set of books yesterday?”

“I took them out to study and make some notes, so it’s easier for you when you look at them.”
“You need to learn some of this child-rearing knowledge too. For the baby’s and your health, it’s good to understand more.”
“I’ve written down the key points from the books in the notebook. You don’t have to read such a thick book; just look at the content I’ve summarized.”
“This way it’s easier for you.”
After finishing his sentence, Lin Yi handed the notebook to Han Xuewei.
Han Xuewei took it and opened it to find that the notebook was filled with meticulous notes on various cautions for pregnant women and babies.
The considerate Lin Yi had even used different colored pens for annotations, which greatly moved Han Xuewei.
Through the lines, Han Xuewei could feel Lin Yi’s deep love and painstaking effort.
She remembered being mesmerized by Lin Yi’s sunny and cheerful presence from the first time she saw him in college.
For a while, wherever Han Xuewei went, she heard other girls discussing Lin Yi, their lively expressions making her envious.
It went without saying that, in those days, Lin Yi had become the dream lover of many girls.
Sometimes paying attention to Lin Yi, Han Xuewei realized over time that she had quietly fallen in love with him.
On the night of the unexpected event, Han Xuewei didn’t feel any panic or unease, but rather a hint of relief.
As a girl, she thought it was a great fortune to give the most precious part of herself to the man she loved the most.
Later, when she discovered she was pregnant, a wave of joy couldn’t help but surge in Han Xuewei’s heart. She had been prepared to bear the consequences alone, but still felt somewhat reluctant. To provide a complete home for her child, Han Xuewei decided to take a gamble.
The responsibility and commitment shown by Lin Yi once brought tears of joy to Han Xuewei’s eyes, making her feel she had not loved the wrong person.
Lin Yi’s agreement to marry her and give their baby a home was more than enough for Han Xuewei to feel completely satisfied.
Han Xuewei had made up her mind that even if Lin Yi only loved the child and not her after marriage, she would accept it.
Nowadays, many couples are together in name only, staying married for the sake of giving their child a complete home, with little love between them; only the bond of the child and a paper certificate remain.
Han Xuewei thought to herself that entering into marriage was merely an early start to the kind of life where only a paper certificate and a child remained, and she was ready to accept it.
She had never expected that Lin Yi actually had feelings for her as well, which made Han Xuewei feel extremely happy.
As she looked at the densely packed notebook, a wave of happiness swept through her heart.
Han Xuewei lowered her head and gently kissed Lin Yi’s cheek.
“Husband, thank you!” Han Xuewei said happily.
“By the way, it’s time for afternoon tea now, what would you like to eat? Just tell me what you want, and I’ll make it for you right away,”
Lin Yi said tenderly.
“Husband, you can cook?” Han Xuewei asked in surprise.
Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lin Yi, somewhat disbelieving.
“Of course! To take care of my wife and child, even if I didn’t know how, I’d have to learn.”
“Besides, you can rest assured, your husband here is of high-level international chef skill, top-notch in cooking techniques.”
“If you don’t believe me, today I’ll let you see for yourself.”
Lin Yi patted his chest confidently.
The smile on Han Xuewei’s lips grew even sweeter.
An inexplicable and indescribable feeling spread from within her heart.
Could this be what they call love?
Lin Yi’s face was filled with vitality, planning a piece of cake for himself.
With the system in hand, he had everything!
His high-level cooking skills were a special reward from the system, certainly nothing to scoff at.
Not to mention a simple afternoon tea, even competing with chefs from several-star hotels would be a breeze.
“That’s great, since my husband is so enthusiastic, as your wife, I would be rude to decline.”
“It’s about time, let’s skip the afternoon tea! I’ll just have some fruit to tide me over.”
“However, tonight I expect a feast to witness your international chef level skills,” Han Xuewei said with a laugh.
“Not a problem at all, then I’ll start by making you a fruit salad,”
“Let’s go downstairs, you can eat the fruit salad and watch TV, have a bit of a rest, and the feast will be served in the evening,” Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi followed Han Xuewei’s small hand, walking towards the downstairs.
Once downstairs, Lin Yi asked Han Xuewei to wait a moment while he himself went into the kitchen.
In no time at all, a colorful and fragrant fruit salad was brought to the table.
“Husband, you’re amazing! Just looking at this fruit salad makes one’s mouth water,” Han Xuewei exclaimed excitedly.
“Wife, you eat the fruit salad first, I’m going to start preparing the dinner feast right away,”
After speaking, Lin Yi arranged for Han Xuewei to sit on the sofa in front of the television, with the delicious fruit salad placed on the coffee table.
He and Aunt Wang then busied themselves in the kitchen.
After finishing the salad and playing with her phone for half the day, Han Xuewei felt a bit bored and thought about getting up and moving around, but she found herself too comfortably lazy to do so.
Therefore, Han Xuewei reclined gently on the couch and soon fell into a deep sleep.
