After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

Palm Springs.

It's 5:30 in the morning.

Wei Yi was fast asleep, holding Jin Shilin in his arms, when his phone suddenly rang.

The ringtone wasn't a typical alarm clock ringtone.

It was recorded by Kim Se-rin herself; her voice is sweet and charming, and it's in Korean, with a strong Korean girl's coquettishness.

"여보여보, 빨리일어나~배란기가왔어~더이상노력하지않으면늦어~"

Translated into Chinese, it means: 【Honey, wake up! It's ovulation time! If you don't try now, it'll be too late!】

Wei Yi was awakened by the sound. He opened his eyes groggily, not yet realizing what was happening.

Jin Shilin sat up abruptly and threw off the covers.

She shoved a mercury thermometer into his mouth with a snap.

"Hold it in your mouth. Take your basal body temperature."

Wei Yi, with the thermometer in his mouth, looked at her with utter despair.

Jin Shilin took out an ovulation test strip and ran into the bathroom.

After coming out, she sat cross-legged on the bed, squinting at the test strip in the dim light from the window.

Then she picked up the small notebook from the bedside table and started writing quickly:

"My temperature today is 36.5 degrees Celsius, 0.3 degrees Celsius higher than yesterday. The test strip shows two lines, positive... Hmm, I need to practice more tonight."

Wei Yi took out the thermometer, glanced at it, and said quietly, "Jin Shilin, my temperature is 30.2 degrees Celsius."

Jin Shilin looked up abruptly: "What? You have a fever? No, it's just a low-grade fever, isn't it?"

"You put the thermometer in backwards." Wei Yi handed over the thermometer. "I put the glass end in my mouth."

Jin Shilin: "..."

She looked down and sure enough.

She quickly turned the thermometer around and put it back in Wei Yi's mouth, muttering, "No wonder it was so low. Take it again, this time it won't be inaccurate."

With a thermometer in his mouth, Wei Yi leaned against the headboard, staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

anyway.

Since Sister Siyan got pregnant.

And right from the start, there were unreasonable twin queens.

Kim Se-rin's enthusiasm for getting pregnant and preparing for pregnancy suddenly increased by at least a hundredfold.

Similar things have been happening to her every day for the past few days.

This left Wei Yi somewhat helpless.

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for Sister Kim, who had been aloof and distant towards him when he worked at the Korean food shop.

Kim Se-rin was so cool back then.

With a flick of her ponytail and a tied apron, she worked as efficiently as a special forces soldier.

What now?

Who is this woman sitting on the bed now, seriously doing math problems while looking at ovulation test strips and a thermometer?

"Sister Shilin," Wei Yi mumbled, his mouth full of the thermometer, "You weren't like this before."

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

Jin Shilin didn't even look up. "I have an important task right now. Xinyi said that Siyan has already won the first prize, and I can't fall behind. I have to catch up quickly."

"You don't need to get up at six every morning to take your temperature, do you? This thing measures your temperature, not mine."

"Your temperature is also important. If you have a fever or are not feeling well, then we can't make it tonight."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yi leaned back and covered his face with the blanket.

"Okay. You go back to your science. I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Jin Shilin ignored him and continued to write and draw in her notebook.

She muttered to herself, "The ovulation test is positive, so the best time for intercourse should be between 8 pm and midnight tonight. Considering Wei Yi's stamina and energy levels, starting at 9 pm would be more suitable..."

Wei Yi peeked half his face out from under the covers: "You even count this?"

"Of course. This is called scientific conception preparation. You don't know anything about it."

Wei Yi shrank back again.

He suddenly realized that he was in this house.

It is about to be completely transformed into a seed-sowing machine with emotions.

Twins + Lin Siyan.

This affix was important to the women in this household.

That's so damn exciting!

10:00 AM.

The United Nations University (UNU) serves as an entrepreneurial hub.

The offices of Sweet Ice Cream and Heytea have almost taken up the entire building.

Tap song?

We're already preparing to move out.

After all, they had already secured funding. More importantly, they had attracted the attention of the capital's government and relevant departments at the seminar.

There are even discussions within the capital government about directly incorporating Tago into the capital's public transportation service system.

If that's the case, besides Guoxin Ping, Tage might also have to be state-owned or state-controlled.

With a strong growth momentum and a rapid expansion of personnel, the United Nations Entrepreneurship Base is already insufficient to meet demand.

We are currently actively looking for a new headquarters.

The UN General Assembly responded positively and optimistically to this.

Heytea and Sweet Ice Cream are nominally Wei Yi's businesses anyway, since he is the founder and the big boss.

Ta Ge has left.

There's still Xin Yi, isn't there?

Today, Liu Yang convened a meeting with senior executives.

Those present included Zhao Min, Jin Shilin, Li Xuejie, Wang Xueli, and several store managers and regional managers whose names Wei Yi couldn't recall.

Chen Xinyi and Lin Siyan are not here.

Sister Chen took Sister Lin to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to have Sister Zhang do a check-up and discuss pregnancy care.

So far, all you, Sister Zhang, know is that the child in Sister Lin's belly is her boyfriend's.

I also know that her boyfriend is a rich second-generation, and he has a good relationship with Chen Xinyi, as well as with Dr. Zhang's own boyfriend, Wei Yi.

At this moment, Liu Yang sat in the main seat and got straight to the point:

"Mixue Ice Cream has made some moves. They hired a local business consulting firm to help them get several key approvals sorted out. Of the new stores that we previously blocked, two have now regained their permits, and another is going through the fast track."

Zhao Min chimed in, "And they've announced that they'll have forty stores in Beijing by March next year. They're going head-to-head with us."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Jin Shilin sat in the position of operations director, her expression quite calm.

She flipped through the reports in front of her and began to speak:

"No need to rush. Chairman Chen and General Manager Wei said they already have a solution."

Liu Yang's eyes lit up: "What do you two mean?"

"I don't know. That's what they told me."

After Jin Shilin finished speaking, she picked up her coffee and took a sip, her movements composed. "Look at you all, getting anxious, aren't you? Don't forget, besides President Wei and Chairman Chen, we also have Chairman Wu."

Kim Se-rin is really not in a hurry at all.

She knew Wu Zhenhe's identity.

In her opinion.

Wu Zhenhe is a figure similar to Princess Xingxing, or even higher in status within this country.

As long as you're willing to put in the effort.

There's nothing that Aunt Wu can't handle.

At least they won't be unable to handle something as trivial as Mixue Ice Cream.

Liu Yang and Zhao Min exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.

After the meeting, Liu Yang pulled Zhao Min aside and whispered, "Guess what Wu Zhenhe's identity is."

Zhao Min shrugged: "My public identity is that of an investor; nothing else can be found."

"I can't find it either," Liu Yang said.

Zhao Min: "Then there are only two possibilities: one is that she really is just an ordinary investor."

"Impossible," Liu Yang said. "It doesn't make sense!"

Zhao Min: "The other possibility is that her level is so high that we can't find her anymore."

Liu Yang remained silent.

"Forget it. Never mind, I'll just stick with the powerful." Liu Yang took the documents and left.

It's 6:30 in the evening.

Palm Springs, restaurant.

Wei Yi told Chen Xinyi about Jin Shilin's alarm clock at 5:30 in the morning as a joke.

Chen Xinyi laughed until tears streamed down her face, slamming her hand on the table and shouting, "When it comes to ambition, it has to be Sister Shilin!"

Jin Shilin sat beside him, her face flushed red, protesting with her neck stiff:

"What do you know! This is called scientific conception preparation! Who am I doing this for? It's all for this family!"

"Sister Shilin, do you know what your biggest problem is?" Chen Xinyi wiped away the tears that came out of her laughter, then suddenly became serious.

Jin Shilin was taken aback.

"You're too stressed," Chen Xinyi's tone softened. "The more stressed you are, the harder it is to conceive. Why was Siyan able to get pregnant? Because she never even considered pregnancy. When you relax your mind, your body will relax too. When your body is relaxed, getting pregnant is naturally easier."

Jin Shilin seemed to be deep in thought.

Chen Xinyi turned to look at Wei Yi, her peach blossom eyes curving into a smile:

"So, little brother, take Sister Shilin out for a walk tonight. She's been busy with the tea business lately, so take her out for something nice to eat, see a movie, and then..."

She made a "you know" gesture.

Jin Shilin buried her face in her rice bowl and ate voraciously.

The tips of her ears are a little red.

But in her heart, she felt both warm and sweet.

Of course she knew that Chen Xinyi was just trying to coax her.

In this family, the person who understands her best, besides that occasionally sarcastic man, is this ever-smiling eldest sister.

8 PM.

Wei Yi took Jin Shilin out.

They were still riding in Wu Zhenhe's black Hongqi.

Xiao Wang drove in front, and the two of them sat in the back seat, looking at the stores of Sweet Ice Cream and Heytea along the way.

Outside Wudaokou subway station.

The signboard for Tianbingbing (a type of dessert) is so bright it's almost blinding.

The two grinning ice cube logos, in the chill of the winter night, looked like two warm little suns.

The newly opened Heytea store in Sanlitun had long queues that stretched all the way to the square.

Jin Shilin leaned against the car window, looking at the stores with sparkling eyes.

"Wei Yi, look, that's our shop. We used to only have one, but now there are shops all over the city."

Wei Yi squeezed her hand: "From now on, the entire Yanjing will belong to our store."

Jin Shilin suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, she whispered, "Am I being too hasty? I want to get pregnant, I want to prove that I can do it too. Siyan was able to have twins, but I..."

Wei Yi pulled her into his arms: "You're much better than Si Yan. If she can get pregnant, so can you. I'll let you get pregnant tonight."

Jin Shilin chuckled and looked up at him, "You talk as if you can control it."

Wei Yi said seriously, "Whether I can control it or not, you'll know once you try."

Kim Se-rin stopped talking and buried her face in his chest.

After a while, she blurted out, "Then... I won't look at the test strip. I won't take my temperature either."

"real?"

"Really. Xinyi is right, relaxing is the most important thing."

Wei Yi lowered his head and kissed the top of her head: "That's more like it. My Shilin, she's not the kind of woman who would be bound by a few test strips."

Kim Se-rin felt a sweet warmth in her heart from his words and reached out to pinch his waist.

"Glib-tongued."

I'm stating the facts.

10 PM.

Wei Yi did not bring Jin Shilin home.

He asked Xiao Wang to take them to a hotel near Wudaokou.

Jin Shilin asked why.

Wei Yi said, "None of us have booked a room before, let's book one and give it a try."

Jin Shilin blushed and remained silent.

Once inside the room, Wei Yi locked the door and pressed Jin Shilin against the French windows.

Outside the window, the lights of Wudaokou flowed like a river.

Inside the window, Jin Shilin didn't check her phone, take her temperature, or mention ovulation, conception rate, or optimal time this time.

She simply closed her eyes and sensed Wei Yi.

My palm left several shallow marks on the glass.

afterwards.

She nestled against Wei Yi's chest and whispered, "Xinyi is right. I guess I really... overthought things."

Wei Yi ruffled her hair: "So, these things are all about fate."

Jin Shilin suddenly looked up at him, her eyes bright: "Then let's leave it to fate tonight. If you don't get me pregnant, I won't let you go home."

Wei Yi laughed: "Is this what you call 'going with the flow'? That's a threat."

Jin Shilin snorted: "I was just offering a friendly reminder."

After saying that, she snuggled closer to him, like a cat whose fur had finally been smoothed out.

The lights outside the window flickered on and off.

Her breathing gradually calmed down.

Before going to sleep, she muttered softly, "It's okay if I can't get pregnant. We have plenty of time."

Wei Yi remained silent.

He simply lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
