Chapter 203 Going Home to Take Care of the Baby
Han Xuewei looked at the ring in surprise. She was already wearing an identical one, except the diamond wasn't as big, and it wasn't as luxurious-looking as that ring.
But she was already very satisfied. When they went to the store before, Lin Yi had said this was just a temporary one for her to wear and that the ring they had actually designed would arrive later.
She had intended to refuse because the one she was wearing was already very nice, but Lin Yi still thought he should buy the best for her.
So, she didn't say anything more, not expecting the ring to arrive so quickly.

At that time, their car reached a crossroads, a red light flashing ahead, a full sixty seconds. Lin Yi took off the ring and opened his mouth to speak, "Wife, let me help you put it on."
As he spoke, Lin Yi skillfully took Han Xuewei's hand, removed the old ring, and slipped the new one on her finger.
Han Xuewei's hand was as white as snow. With the glittering ring on, it looked stunningly bright. Lin Yi, seeing this, couldn't help but smile, leaning down to kiss the back of Han Xuewei's hand.
"Wife, your hand is so pretty, and it looks even better with the ring on."
As Lin Yi spoke, both his hands grasped Han Xuewei's, gently stroking them. Seeing Lin Yi's actions, Han Xuewei couldn't help but laugh, playfully hitting his hand. She said, "Wearing the ring isn't the goal here, is it? You just want an excuse to touch!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi broke into laughter.
"A wife is meant to be touched."
As he said this, Han Xuewei blushed instantly, slapping his shoulder and saying, "Stop fooling around and drive. It's green now."
Hearing this, Lin Yi reluctantly withdrew his hand, placed it on the steering wheel, and started driving.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She paid great attention to the details and could sense Han Xuewei's subtle changes in mood, and couldn't help but say, "Wife, I noticed you seemed a bit off at the gathering today. Did something happen?"
Although he had calmed Han Xuewei down by now, he could still feel that her mood wasn't great today.
Han Xuewei was usually very gentle, rarely showing her petulant side.
Moved by Lin Yi's words, Han Xuewei didn't expect that he had been paying such close attention to every little thing about her. She responded, "Husband, focus on driving for now. I'll tell you about it when we get home; I'm going to take a nap first."
After saying this, Han Xuewei reclined her seat and lay down to rest for a while.
Lin Yi didn't say anything more, concentrating on driving. He slowed the car down, hoping Han Xuewei would have a more peaceful sleep.
He didn't want Han Xuewei to be unhappy; as a husband, he hoped his wife would be cheerful every day.
They didn't get home late, it was just half-past eight. Lin Yi glanced at his watch, then turned to Han Xuewei and said, "Luckily we got back early today, so we still have time to play with the babies."
At eight thirty, the babies were still awake. By nine o'clock they would need another feeding, which is why Lin Yi said this.
Han Xuewei actually hoped that after the babies finished their milk, they wouldn't need more at night, because it's really tough when they start crying in the middle of the night.
Moreover, Han Xuewei had recently decided to wean the babies, so she no longer breastfed them and only prepared formula instead. However, the babies would still sometimes cry and fuss.
Therefore, she could only breastfeed them, especially at night. If she could feed them enough to keep them asleep until dawn, that would be perfect.
Today, Mengmeng had fallen asleep early. Looking at her adorable face, Han Xuewei curved her lips into a smile and walked over.
As the babies got older, she would need to prepare them some supplementary foods; they couldn't live on formula alone forever.
At this moment, gazing at the babies, Han Xuewei couldn't help but sigh. Children really did grow incredibly fast. When she first became a mother, she had been utterly clueless about how to take care of them and had to read a lot of childcare material every day before figuring out what to do.
Otherwise, she would have been completely lost. According to scientific feeding practices, breastfeeding exclusively until six months was the standard, and that's what Han Xuewei thought as well.
Doing so benefited the babies' physical development, but her breast milk wasn't enough for the three of them. Therefore, she had no choice but to supplement by mixing it with something else—formula.
This approach worked quite well. The babies were not overly attached to breast milk, so sometimes when she wasn't home, Mother Lin could manage with formula instead.
That was quite convenient. Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had now entered the babies' room. Mengmeng had already settled down for the night, while Da Bao and Er Bao were still playing nearby.
Seeing them, Han Xuewei immediately went over to pick up Da Bao, while Lin Yi lifted Er Bao.
These days they had been either studying or attending gatherings, with very tight schedules, leaving even less opportunity for this.
Mother Lin walked in, saw the two of them, and laughed, "These three little ones started throwing tantrums since yesterday. They wouldn't go to sleep without seeing you. I had just managed to coax Mengmeng to sleep after a long while, and these two rascals stubbornly refused to sleep, just waiting for you to come home."
Hearing this, for fear that Mother Lin would blame Han Xuewei for talking too much, and knowing that Han Xuewei was actually quite sensible, Lin Yi quickly said, "Mom, I understand."
Han Xuewei also nodded, "Mom, don't worry, we'll pay attention to that."
Upon hearing this, Mother Lin said, "It's not that I'm blaming you, I just really hope that you could spend more time with the kids."
Mother Lin didn't add anything else; she just hoped that the little ones could go to bed early.
After all, it's exhausting for both Lin Yi and Han Xuewei if the little kids don't want to sleep early after their day. After saying this, Mother Lin, who had just been run ragged by Mengmeng for a long while, was tired and went back to her room to rest.
After Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had settled Da Bao, it was Er Bao's turn, who was now eagerly staring at them with wide eyes.
Han Xuewei then said, "Why don't you go take a shower first?"
After she spoke, Han Xuewei took Er Bao from him, but Lin Yi shook his head and replied, "I'll take care of him. You go shower first."
Seeing Lin Yi so insistent, Han Xuewei didn't say more, nodded, and left the room.
Lin Yi now, holding Er Bao, began to coax him with soft murmurs. Er Bao was still gazing with his round, wide eyes, occasionally stretching out his little chubby hands to touch Lin Yi's face.
