Junlin Financial Center, Commercial City.
A large shopping mall.
Five floors in total, offering everything from food and entertainment to leisure. A dazzling array of international luxury brands and numerous domestic high-end products, such as Yun Jin silk, Kesi brocade, and Longquan inkstones, are all available for sale.
Undoubtedly, Zhao Qigang's contributions are indispensable here, though his wife also deserves significant credit. After all, Junlin Hotel is, in a sense, managed by Luo Tianyi, but all of it ultimately belongs to Ye Xuan, merely consolidated into one entity.
"Boss!"
"Sister-in-law!!"
Just then, a voice called out, and a couple walked over, appearing before Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi. It was Xiao Ming and Lin Yuxi.
These two were also here enjoying a couples' outing at the mall. Da Feng Novel.
"Second brother, Yuxi?"
Upon seeing them, Ye Xuan was taken aback, clearly not expecting to run into them here. "You're out shopping..."
"Huh?"
Mid-sentence, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Yuxi, a spark flashing in his eyes. "Yuxi, give me your hand."
Lin Yuxi was initially startled but then extended her small hand. She knew, of course, that her boss wouldn't take advantage of her, especially with her sister-in-law being so beautiful; she was aware of such things.
Xiao Ming, meanwhile, was slightly puzzled.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already placed his right hand on Lin Yuxi's wrist.
"As expected!"
After checking her pulse, Ye Xuan nodded, but this action utterly bewildered Xiao Ming. "Boss, you're..."
"Heh heh, second brother, Yuxi is pregnant."
Huh?
Hearing his boss's words, Xiao Ming froze. Lin Yuxi's pretty face was filled with joy. "Boss, this, really!?"
"Of course."
Ye Xuan chuckled and continued, "And it's a girl. If you don't believe me, you can get it checked at the hospital."
Observing Lin Yuxi's complexion and various other medical indicators, it was easy to reach this conclusion.
"Boss, this... I..."
Listening to his boss, Xiao Ming's expression was complex, a mix of trepidation and excitement.
"Alright, spend more time with Yuxi when you get back. Make sure she gets enough nutrition, attend regular prenatal check-ups, and consider taking a leave of absence if necessary..."
Seeing Xiao Ming's dazed expression, Ye Xuan chuckled. It was natural for him to react this way upon hearing about his first child.
"By the way."
Ye Xuan then flipped his right hand and produced a black gold diamond card. "This is the VIP card for Junlin Commercial City. With this card, all your purchases will be half-price. Consider it a congratulatory gift from me."
"Boss, this... is too precious."
Lin Yuxi's pretty face turned serious. Although she hadn't seen this kind of diamond black card before, knowing it offered a full-store discount, she understood its significance. After all, items in Junlin Commercial City were extremely expensive, and both domestic and international brands could be found here.
"Please accept it. It's a small token of our appreciation."
Luo Tianyi smiled slightly upon seeing this. While such a card might be priceless to others, to them, it was just a card, as the entire commercial city was theirs.
After much persuasion, Lin Yuxi accepted the card. "Then thank you, boss!"
After a brief conversation, the four parted ways, heading to different sections. Xiao Ming and Lin Yuxi were going to the clothing section, while Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi headed to the maternity and infant area.
Subsequently, the couple arrived at the Beiqin International Brand flagship store.
"Ye Xuan, do you think this outfit would look good on the baby?"
"Hmm, the style is nice."
"Buy it."
Ye Xuan smiled and then said to the sales assistant, "We'll take three of these outfits."
Sales assistant, "???"
After a moment of stunned silence, the sales assistant realized what might be happening. "Okay, sir, madam, please wait a moment."
The other sales assistants, overhearing Ye Xuan, exchanged surprised glances. Three outfits? Could it be... this handsome couple was expecting triplets!
After all, it was rare for someone to buy two identical outfits, let alone three.
However, when the sales assistant noticed the price tag of 1888 RMB, three outfits would cost over 5000 yuan – a significant order.
"Should we get the baby a couple of pairs of shoes? They look so cute."
"Heh heh, buy them."
Under the stunned gaze of the sales assistants, they proceeded to purchase six pairs of shoes in three different colors, costing over twenty thousand yuan. The sales assistants licked their lips in disbelief; it was their first time seeing such generous expecting parents.
"Right, do you have any birthing kits here?"
Thinking about the two little ones who would be born soon, Ye Xuan asked the sales assistant.
"Oh, yes."
The sales assistant then led Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi to a display of birthing kits. "Sir, madam, we have three price ranges for our birthing kits: 1999 RMB, 3999 RMB, and 5999 RMB. Which would you prefer?"
"Then, the 5999 one."
Half an hour later, the couple left the maternity and infant area, their shopping cart overflowing with purchases.
No one would believe that this small cart of items was worth over two hundred thousand yuan. However, this sum was negligible to Ye Xuan.
By the time the couple left the commercial area, the parents of both sides had also concluded their "pleasant" discussions.
"In-laws, mother-in-law, take care!"
In front of Junlin Hotel, Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei waved enthusiastically with smiles plastered on their faces. Only after the car had driven out of sight did they both let out a sigh of relief.
They couldn't help but lick their lips, their faces aching from smiling. "Dongmei, we didn't expose ourselves, did we?"
"This, I don't think so."
Su Dongmei was also incredibly nervous. After all, their lives were entirely in their son-in-law's hands. They were perhaps the most downtrodden father-in-law and mother-in-law in the world.
"Hoo~"
"As long as nothing was amiss, it's fine."
If Ye Xuan's parents knew the thoughts of their two in-laws at this moment, who knows what they would think.
Meanwhile, back at the villa.
Ye Xuan brought the "spoils of war" from the commercial shopping center into the villa, bags in hand, and began organizing them systematically.
Clothes for the triplets, little outfits for the two little ones, booties, outerwear, washbasins, small milk bottles, and so on. His proficient actions made Aunt Shen and the maids feel inferior, and Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan watched in astonishment.
Their son was so adept, as if he had experience countless times.
"This guy..."
Luo Tianyi watched her man busily working with such skill, a captivating curve forming on her lips. Her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness. "The two little ones haven't even been born yet, and this big rascal is already preparing to be a dad."
