C1 System Awakening

"Ye Kai, if you don't finish the report today, don't even think about leaving work," Su Ruoqing barked before storming out and slamming the door behind her.

"Damn it!"

Ye Kai grumbled to himself, feeling a twinge of dissatisfaction.

A year out of college, Ye Kai was working at a company in Yangcheng, currently just an intern.

Su Ruoqing, his immediate boss and the vice manager, was about his age and undeniably stunning. Her figure and features were exceptional.

But...

Ye Kai rubbed his head in frustration.

Since Su Ruoqing joined the company, she had been nothing but trouble for him.

"Is it because I'm too handsome, and the young ladies like me?" Ye Kai wondered, feeling a bit helpless.

He always had a peculiar sense about Su Ruoqing, as if they were destined to meet in a past life, yet he couldn't recall ever seeing her before.

"Never mind, I need to focus on finishing my work."

Burning the midnight oil...

Two hours later, Ye Kai finally completed the report. By then, it was pitch black outside.

"At last, I can go home..."

Exhausted from the day's work, Ye Kai mustered his energy, grabbed his bag, and bolted from the office.

"Ah!"

Just then, he heard a soft cry.

A woman had fallen at the end of the hallway, clutching her ankle, her high heels broken in two.

"Su Ruoqing!"

Seeing that it was Su Ruoqing, the one who always gave him a hard time, a wave of guilty pleasure washed over Ye Kai.

But Su Ruoqing had spotted him.

Angrily, she demanded, "Hurry up and help me up!"

"Uh!"

Reluctantly, Ye Kai rushed over and helped Su Ruoqing to her feet. Her left foot was swollen, and she wobbled, eventually leaning into Ye Kai for support.

"Pervert..." Su Ruoqing's face flushed with embarrassment. She tried to resist but couldn't stand on her own, leaving her no choice but to rely on Ye Kai's support.

"Are you... okay?" Ye Kai asked awkwardly.

"I can't drive anymore. Take me back; we're running out of time!" Su Ruoqing appeared to be in a state of urgency.

Ye Kai took Su Ruoqing's keys...

Despite Su Ruoqing's tendency to give him a hard time, Ye Kai's prospects of becoming a permanent employee still depended on her.

Upon reaching the underground garage, he located Su Ruoqing's car—a modest vehicle valued at around 100,000 yuan.

They both entered the car, with Su Ruoqing slumping weakly against the seatback.

"To Jade Dragon Garden!" she instructed.

Ye Kai promptly started the car and set off for Jade Dragon Garden.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Jade Dragon Garden, where Su Ruoqing resided in a modest apartment.

As Ye Kai assisted Su Ruoqing up the stairs, the apartment door burst open, revealing a woman with a dark scowl.

"Why are you so late? Next time, it's going to cost you more!" she snapped before storming downstairs.

Ye Kai was clueless about what had just transpired, but he was taken aback by Su Ruoqing's lack of anger, a stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor at work.

Just then, the sound of a baby's cry echoed from inside the room.

"Mommy..."

The fragmented cries instantly revitalized Su Ruoqing, who hopped into the apartment on one leg. Ye Kai, still holding her bag, wore an expression of embarrassment.

He followed her inside.

The apartment was small but immaculately tidy, and notably filled with an array of baby toys.

Glancing towards the ajar bedroom, Ye Kai noticed two rocking beds, each cradling a baby—likely twins, about a year old.

The babies began to wail louder at the sight of Su Ruoqing, who quickly scooped one up and began to unbutton her coat.

"Uh..."

At that moment, Ye Kai swiftly turned away.

But just then, his mind was struck by a revelation, as if struck by lightning.

Flashes of memory from two years prior at the Night Hotel flickered in his mind.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his head: "Congratulations to the host for awakening the God Level Milk Daddy System!"

The voice was serene, almost robotic, leaving Ye Kai frozen in place, bewildered.

"God Level Milk Daddy System? What on earth is that?"

The system's voice promptly responded.

"This system is a product of future technology, specifically designed to assist fathers. You, the host, are fortunate to have been chosen by the future world to be a designated user of the God Level Milk Daddy System..."

The system articulated each word deliberately.

"Hold on... Are you telling me... these two kids are mine?" Ye Kai was utterly astonished.

Seeing the two children, long-forgotten memories began to flood his mind.

It was a night two years ago, while he was still in college. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he had gone to a bar to drown his sorrows.

That night, Ye Kai encountered a woman who was just as inebriated.

And then...

"Host, following a rigorous system analysis, the DNA match rate for the two children is 98%, which means they are indeed your kids, a set of twins—a boy and a girl..."

"Damn!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai was completely bewildered, almost feeling like he was trapped in a fantasy.

Just then, the sound of a baby crying broke through.

"What's the matter?" Ye Kai snapped back to reality and turned to inquire.

Now aware that the two babies were his, Ye Kai's emotions were a complex mix.

Su Ruoqing had by now dressed, her face etched with concern.

"The baby won't nurse; it seems he's hungry!"

Su Ruoqing appeared helpless.

Before Ye Kai could respond, the system's voice intervened once more.

"Dear host, I must remind you that while both children are indeed your own, you are now presented with two options. First, stay silent and receive a property in the Yang Cheng School District. Second, assist Su Ruoqing with the baby's hunger and earn the Top Chef System..."

The system's tone remained impassive.

"It's got to be the second option!" Ye Kai declared decisively.

Though he was clueless about the system's origins, addressing the children's dietary needs was his immediate priority.

Suddenly, Ye Kai felt a surge of energy, as if a wealth of knowledge had just been downloaded into his brain.

He had instantaneously mastered the intricacies of the Master Chef System.

"Rest assured, I'll take care of cooking for the kids..." Ye Kai announced, rolling up his sleeves.

"You?"

Su Ruoqing cradled the two babies, her voice tinged with incredulity.

The twins were notoriously finicky eaters, and today, with her late return and Mrs. Lin, the usual cook, having left early, Su Ruoqing found herself at her wit's end.

In her moment of confusion, Ye Kai stepped up to the plate.

Su Ruoqing had her doubts about Ye Kai's culinary abilities.

Yet, Ye Kai was already dashing into the kitchen, getting down to business.

Her kitchen was stocked with various ingredients. They weren't particularly fancy, but for a God Level chef, they were more than sufficient.

Ye Kai began washing the ingredients, ready to showcase his prowess in the kitchen.

He moved with grace and speed, cooking with a proficiency that made his every action seem effortless. With a wealth of recipes at his fingertips, Ye Kai's cooking was a blur of efficiency.
