C7 He Is My Husband!!

"Please safeguard your Dragon Card and leave your address with us. Shortly, someone will mail it to you."

The portly man, also the mall's manager, was fawning over Ye Tian like a sycophant, almost as if he was ready to throw himself at Ye Tian in complete submission.

"As for you? Pack your things and leave!"

"Don't make a spectacle of yourself here!"

These last two remarks were directed at the mall's waiter.

With just a handful of words, the waiter's fate was sealed. Casting a malevolent glare at Su Jinyu, the waiter stormed out, seething with resentment.

If it hadn't been for this person's goading, he wouldn't have found himself in such a predicament!

Su Jinyu could never have imagined that a simple, thoughtless act would bring so much trouble into her life.

But no, she couldn't afford to dwell on that now; she was facing an even greater problem.

"Now, it's time for you to apologize. Oh, and for the entire contents of the store as well."

Ye Tian gave Su Jinyu a dismissive glance and stated coolly, "Just so you know, I've recorded everything you've said."

"Miss Su, surely you don't want to be the talk of the town in a few days? Let me ponder a headline."

"'Hang City Su Family's Eldest Miss Makes Outlandish Claims, Ends Up the Town Pariah'?"

Su Qingcheng couldn't suppress a chuckle. She looked at Ye Tian, amusement twinkling in her eyes – who knew he could be so witty?

In an instant, Su Jinyu's expression darkened, particularly as she witnessed the loving rapport between Su Qingcheng and Ye Tian.

"Su Qingcheng, even if I apologize to you today, what does it matter? You will always be the Su family's disgrace, a stain that will linger for eternity!"

"The epitome of shamelessness!"

Su Jinyu's voice grew increasingly piercing, prompting everyone around to instinctively cover their ears.

"If I were you, I would have put an end to those children of yours long ago! Yet you shamelessly coexist with those little wretches!"

"The very definition of a harlot!"

As Su Jinyu's tirade continued, Su Qingcheng's complexion turned ashen, her frame trembling as if she might collapse. All she could do was shield Ye Ming and Eldest Baby's ears, sparing the innocent child from the pollution of such vile words.

As Su Qingcheng grew increasingly vulnerable, Su Jinyu's smugness swelled. She inhaled deeply, gearing up to keep going.

But in the next instant, her voice cut off sharply, replaced by the crisp sound of a slap.

Ye Tian had just slapped Su Jinyu across the face in front of everyone!

"You, you..."

Incredulous, Su Jinyu clutched her cheek, unable to form words.

"What?" Ye Tian's icy tone reverberated through the air as he glared at Su Jinyu with a murderous look. "You're well aware that the second you insulted my wife, you enraged me beyond measure!"

"Huh? Wife? With someone like you?"

Su Jinyu, now laughing in frustration, sized up Ye Tian and then sneered, "Given your shabby look, it seems you could only settle for someone like Su Qingcheng, right?"

"I bet even that so-called Dragon Card of yours is something you picked up somewhere."

Indeed, Ye Tian was still in his delivery work clothes, hardly the image of wealth.

Despite the existence of the Dragon Card, it did nothing to dispel the biases of the onlookers.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Su Jinyu's remarks grew nastier, resembling the tirades of a fishwife, "You're truly pathetic! Showing up here already wearing not one, but five green hats!"

"Smack!"

The sound of another sharp slap rang out—this time, Su Qingcheng had struck back, her anger boiling over.

"Ye Tian is my husband! You have no right to speak of him that way!"

Husband?!

The word made Ye Tian's heart miss a beat. It was the first time she had acknowledged their relationship publicly!

Suddenly, the fog clouding Ye Tian's heart cleared, and he felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

Su Qingcheng had acknowledged him! For that alone, Ye Tian would gladly endure a few more insults!

"You..." Tears began to pool in Su Jinyu's eyes.

Twice! She had been slapped twice in a row by a married couple!

Such an affront was unbearable!

"You'll regret this!" Su Jinyu screamed, her voice laced with agony, "I'll have my boyfriend deal with you!"

"He's a well-known wealthy heir in Hang City!"

With that, Su Jinyu paid no heed to Ye Tian and Su Qingcheng's reactions and bolted away.

Su Qingcheng was filled with worry as she watched Su Jinyu flee in a panic.

"Ye Tian, maybe we should hurry up and leave?"

"The Su family holds significant influence in Hang City. Su Jinyu's acquaintances are likely not the most reputable characters. Besides, we've pretty much finished our shopping. Let's just go!"

Ye Tian was deeply touched by the concern Su Qingcheng showed for him.

What more could a man ask for with a wife like her?

"Don't worry. I'll handle everything from here," Ye Tian assured her with gravity. "You go ahead and enjoy a nice stroll around the mall with the babies."

With Ye Tian's firm assurances, Su Qingcheng reluctantly agreed.

She pushed the stroller, taking the five babies on a leisurely tour through the mall, while Ye Tian sat in a corner, lost in thought.

Was he worried?

Actually, Ye Tian had already accomplished the task set by the system and was now claiming his reward.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Purchase all the toys in the mall for the children.]

[Reward: 40 years of diagnostic skills; 10,000,000 Dragon Coins.]

It was a familiar scenario, but this time, Ye Tian wasn't thrilled by the ten million Dragon Coins. What truly excited him was the 40 years of diagnostic skills!

The Ye family was renowned for their expertise in both medicine and martial arts. Ye Tian knew the value of these skills better than anyone. Many challenging medical cases had been solved through persistent observation and inquiry.

Now, armed with four decades of experience, wouldn't he be able to unravel even the most enigmatic medical mysteries?

He sifted through the medical knowledge in his mind repeatedly, as a poignant yet familiar thought hovered in his consciousness.

Investigating his mother's death.

Despite being the accomplished eldest son of the Ye family, skilled in both healing and combat, the cause of his mother's death had eluded him. This unresolved issue had long troubled Ye Tian.

"System, is there a way for me to become stronger?"

"Ding! Host, you can enhance your power by upgrading the wheel."

"And how do I upgrade the wheel?"

"The initial Happy Point for the cute baby is 500 (Note: The Happy Points of the five cute babies will influence this value)."

To advance to the next tier, you require 15,000 Happy Points.
