Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Go to the Hospital Early
 

“Let’s talk about his parents. Now that you have three little treasures in your belly, are his parents treating you well?” Qin Xiaoxu asked in a hushed voice, gently inquiring.

She had watched too many urban dramas filled with various mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, so she was quite worried about her best friend possibly being plagued by similar issues, which is why she casually asked.

“His parents are really nice, they value me a lot. I can feel that his family really likes me and also hopes that the two of us can have a better future. Luckily, his entire family is easy to get along with, so don’t worry about me. I am sure I won’t be treated unfairly,” she said.

As soon as she spoke about this, Han Xuewei’s face was once again brimming with a happy smile.

All the good things seemed to have happened to her.

Not only does she have a capable husband who’s tender and caring towards her and good at earning money, but also her in-laws are very kind to her. Now, I am already quite content,” she added.

The two close friends chatted back and forth, so engrossed in conversation that they almost forgot about time…

It’s uncertain how much time had passed when Lin Yi returned home at that moment.

After parking his newly bought Range Rover in the garage, he came to the yard just in time to see Han Xuewei and her best friend taking a walk.

Today, Lin Yi had treated his roommates to a big dinner. Since he had to drive home, he didn’t drink a drop of alcohol. He also took the opportunity to drop Jiang Shan off at his dormitory before hurrying back home.

Qin Xiaoxu happened to witness the moment Lin Yi got out of the Range Rover, and her eyes nearly popped out.

Is this the high-end version of the Range Rover?!

The price of this Range Rover Sport isn’t low, right?

Lin Yi is actually driving such a nice car!

A student can hardly afford a car worth nearly two million, can they?

Not to mention how exquisite the interior is.

Qin Xiaoxu, who was quite familiar with cars and generally knowledgeable about them, was unspeakably shocked at this moment!

Upon seeing the two taking a walk, Lin Yi approached with a smile and greeted them.

“Wife! Is this your good friend Qin Xiaoxu? Thank you for always taking care of Vivi,” Lin Yi said courteously.

Qin Xiaoxu replied generously, “Hello! My name is Qin Xiaoxu!”

“I’m so envious of you two! And you’re really lucky as well! Vivi is the most popular beauty at our school!”

The two had seen each other at school a few times and were not strangers, so they quickly started chatting.

“Hahaha, indeed I’m lucky. By the way, stay for dinner tonight!” Lin Yi invited proactively.

“Then I won’t be polite! I came today especially to mooch a meal and drinks!” Qin Xiaoxu laughed as she said.

Lin Yi considerately asked, “What would you two like to eat? I’ll go get the ingredients now.”

“Wow! Lin Yi, I didn’t expect you to actually go and pick up the ingredients yourself! This means that you can also cook, right?”

Han Xuewei took Qin Xiaoxu’s hand, smiling as she said, “The dishes he makes are so delicious. I’ve never tasted such flavorful food before. You’re in luck today because you get to try it!”

Then she turned to Lin Yi and said, “I didn’t expect you to come back so early; I thought you might play till late tonight.”

Lin Yi said with an adoring face, “I feel restless not seeing my wife for even a second, I miss you too much!”

“Alright, cut it out! Stop showing off your love in front of me, okay? I’m not eating this dog food! I’m really asking for it, huh? I come for a meal and get fed dog food; I protest!” Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly tried to intervene.

But little did she know, her protest not only had no effect at all, but it even increased the nauseating affection between the two!

The good friend Han Xuewei went directly to Lin Yi’s side and took his arm, sweetly calling him husband.

Lin Yi also wrapped his free hand around Han Xuewei’s lower back; because his wife’s belly was big, hugging her was not easy anymore. At the same time, he gently kissed Han Xuewei’s forehead.

Qin Xiaoxu couldn’t bear the scene in front of her, and she screamed as she made her escape, determined not to get her fill of dog food before even having dinner!

However, thinking about it, her best friend having such a blissful married life truly made her happy, and she sent her heartfelt blessings.

At dinner time, the couple invited Qin Xiaoxu to join them.

Lin Yi prepared a lavish dinner for them, and since they both loved seafood, he made a total of eight dishes.

They should have invited Qin Xiaoxu to dine out at a fancy restaurant, but with Han Xuewei’s condition making it inconvenient for her to travel, Lin Yi personally took charge of the cooking, trying his best to do well.

It must be said, his culinary skills were no less than those of a professional chef.

When the dishes were brought to the table, Qin Xiaoxu’s eyes went wide with excitement; for any food lover, this was indeed paradise!

“I’m starting on it first! A seafood feast!” exclaimed Qin Xiaoxu.

Without further ado, she began to devour the king crab on her plate.

While eating, she didn’t forget to caution Han Xuewei, “Oh right, Vivi, I looked it up specifically, pregnant women shouldn’t eat too much seafood, it can greatly affect the baby!”

As she spoke, she continued to heap praise on the dishes on the table.

After hearing this, Han Xuewei looked towards Lin Yi, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said with a smile, “It’s okay! My husband has already done his research on this, so my meal is different. Take your time eating, there’s plenty of food here! If you’re not busy, why not stay over tonight? It would be great company for me, especially since I’m bored.”

Qin Xiaoxu replied, “That won’t work, I’ll be starting my internship immediately after exams. Even though I’d love to enjoy the feast, time just won’t allow it!”

……

Not long after, Han Xuewei entered her eighth month of pregnancy, and she was clearly starting to feel the strain.

According to the prenatal checkup data, the weight of each of the triplets in her belly was around four pounds, with the strongest weighing five pounds. Although this seemed to be good news, Han Xuewei suffered quite a bit.

Lately, she had noticed an increase in her nighttime trips to the bathroom and a decline in the quality of her sleep; she was always listless, her body suffered from edema, and overall, she was uncomfortable all over.

Seeing Han Xuewei’s suffering, the family began discussing the possibility of checking into the hospital early to see if they could opt for a cesarean section, which would provide her some relief.

After the discussion, Han Xuewei also agreed with the idea, so the family made their way to the maternity and child health hospital.

Lin Yi had previously planned to hire several nannies and maternity matrons, thinking three maternity matrons would be necessary, but now that both sets of parents were there, hiring two would suffice.

Han Xuewei was thus admitted to the hospital early, and two maternity matrons arrived, ready to start work at any moment.

With two experienced maternity matrons on hand, there would be no need for panic when the time for delivery arrived.

Lin Yi had also been reading up on various childcare knowledge these days, so he was very attentive to many things.
