Free Web NovelChapter 1047: Chapter 283: Becoming a Dad (Part 2)
In the afternoon, Xu Lin and Chi Linyue returned to her place.
Chi Linyue leaned on the sofa, her legs stretched straight out on a soft stool.
And Xu Lin was resting his head on her lap.
"What do you think of this outfit?"
Chi Linyue showed Xu Lin some baby clothes.
"Looks good, let’s buy a few."
Xu Lin hadn’t expected that they had already started buying baby clothes.
"How about this one?"
"This one looks nice too, let’s buy it, we aren’t short on money, let’s get some of each."
"Xu Lin, what about the milk powder?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
After spending over half an hour picking clothes, Chi Linyue moved on to choosing milk formula, comparing different brands and types. Of course, she picked only the expensive ones, and they were all imported. When it comes to milk formula, families with the means generally prefer imported brands. As for domestic formula, it’s unfortunate but there are too many scumbags. Just as the government announces a subsidy for infant development, those in the baby product industry dare to increase prices. Xu Lin had never seen such scoundrels.
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang, after becoming Emperor, had to eliminate so many people. During his childhood, there were famines everywhere and people were starving. His family starved to death. The disaster relief grain from above was siphoned level by level, and by the time it reached the common people, they couldn’t even eat bark. In Huaxia’s history, since the end of the Qin dynasty, there have been over a thousand peasant uprisings, without exception, because there were too many scoundrels.
After spending more than an hour, Chi Linyue picked out the milk formula. However, she wasn’t buying it just yet; she was choosing in advance so that when the child comes into this world, getting the milk formula would be convenient.
What about breastfeeding?
Of course, there would be that, but formula can’t be omitted either.
At the same time, Xu Lin began looking for villas.
He wasn’t searching directly through real estate apps or asking agents but instead had Moon God do the filtering.
Xu Lin said this villa would be for living in when raising the child, needing a quiet environment.
"Can’t we live here?"
Chi Linyue wondered.
"My status is special. If you bring the child in and out of this neighborhood, people might focus on you once they find out. To many, a child is a vulnerability. A villa is quiet, and there aren’t many disturbances."
"That makes sense."
Chi Linyue thought it was reasonable.
Xu Lin: "And notice that now you can’t find any information about my family online, including the people around me. Nothing is traceable online because I have Moon God monitoring all the time. I can’t let the people around me become exposed under public scrutiny, or it’ll be very dangerous, especially for my child."
"That’s good. I don’t want my child to be bothered by others either."
"By the way, Xu Lin, something just occurred to me!" frёeωebɳovel.com
"What is it?"
"How are you going to tell your mom later on that I gave you a child, and there’s also Qingqing, both of us gave you children."
"Next year, after I graduate, I’ll take them back home; what else?"
"Won’t you get scolded?"
"Most likely I will, but our kids—my mom will love them. She has been wanting to hold a grandchild for quite a while."
"Haha..."
"And what about Hanhan, what will you say? I and Qingqing aren’t too likely to marry you either."
"I never thought about marriage. If she’s willing to stay with me, I’ll never fail her, the same goes for you guys. I treat all of you equally. But marriage, forget about it; marrying just one person would be unfair to the others. Besides, marriage is just a formality; the foundation of emotions is much more important than the form."
"Why does this sound a bit like a playboy?"
"Being a playboy is one thing, but loving you all is another."
"Ugh, you’re just a playboy!"
Although she said that, Chi Linyue wasn’t really angry; she truly felt that marrying Xu Lin or not wasn’t important. After all, she was about to have a child, so what could he do?
Besides, she believed Xu Lin would surely love his kids very much.
In the following days, Xu Lin stayed at Chi Linyue’s home.
The two didn’t engage in much as a couple; at most, it was gently affectionate, as pregnancy requires being well-behaved.
Chi Linyue told Xu Lin that he should visit the Capital City when he had the time since Pei Danqing was also pregnant and naturally needed Xu Lin’s emotional support.
Therefore, the day before the Lantern Festival, Xu Lin went to the Capital City again.
"Do you feel anything different now that you’re pregnant?"
After meeting her, Xu Lin asked Pei Danqing.
"Just like I said on WeChat, I feel uneasy about becoming a mom, unsure if I can be a good mother."
"Just stay calm. You and Yueyue are wonderful women and naturally great moms."
"Now that I’m pregnant, will your company launch affect you?" Pei Danqing seemed a bit worried.
"No, I’m here. I’m taller than you. Even if the sky falls, I can hold it up for you."
According to last year’s plan, Xu Lin was preparing to launch his first domestic company soon. The overseas companies weren’t ready yet, but in March, Xu Lin planned to visit North America to discuss the business there, aiming to get it on the right track. Once North America was secured, Europe wouldn’t be an issue, which would imply that there would be no problems worldwide.
The Lantern Festival quickly arrived, and Xu Lin spent a joyful Lantern Festival with Pei Danqing in the Capital City.
On the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, Xu Lin officially started working.
In the morning, he went to the laboratory in the Capital City. By then, the lab had been open for several days, and everyone was diligently working, busy with their tasks.
Thanks to the technology Xu Lin had borrowed from major laboratories worldwide and the innovations he had achieved, standing on the metaphorical shoulders of giants, last year, after a period of development, the lab produced numerous results. There were 138 patent-level technologies, with 49 being cutting-edge. These technologies haven’t been disclosed yet, and even if they are disclosed in the future, only scraps will be revealed. Which company doesn’t have core technologies? These core technologies are not easily given away.
