When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Chen Yang bent down and steadied Katyusha's arm.

Chen Yue stood to the side, her fingertips instantly pressing the communicator on her waist.

"Immediately activate the emergency production plan, ensure the entire medical team is in place, and clear all passageways leading to the underground delivery room."

The security guards on standby in the corridor dispersed instantly upon hearing the sound, and the decorative items that were originally placed there were quickly moved to both sides, leaving the entire path completely unobstructed.

Chen Yang scooped Katyusha up in his arms, his steps steady without the slightest sway, and walked down the cleared passage to the third basement level.

Katyusha clutched at the hem of his clothes.

"Honey, I'm fine, don't panic."

Chen Yang didn't respond, but his pace didn't slow down. He mentally reviewed all the features of the underground delivery room: a world-class obstetrics and gynecology team on standby 24 hours a day, all emergency equipment fully tested and ready, and even the blood bank had prepared top-quality blood of the same type as Katyusha's in advance. There was absolutely no risk involved.

When they arrived at the delivery room, Mr. Sun and his entire medical team were already waiting at the door. Ivan and Mr. and Mrs. Chen had also just arrived after receiving the news and were standing outside the isolation area looking in their direction.

Old Sun handed over a set of sterile protective clothing.

"Mr. Chen, you can come in after you change your clothes. The others can wait outside."

The attending surgeon opened his mouth, intending to say that family members were not allowed in the delivery room, but then swallowed his words. This entire Snow Palace belonged to Chen Yang; the rules were set by him, and besides, he wouldn't dare to object.

Chen Yang changed his clothes and entered the delivery room. He stood by the delivery bed, and Katyusha's hand rested on his arm.

Outside in the isolation area, Ivan paced back and forth, unable to sit still. Chen's father stood beside him, glancing towards the delivery room door every now and then.

Chen Yue leaned against the wall, her fingers flying across her phone, processing the flood of messages coming in.

Black Kite Defense sent word first, saying that media outlets large and small around the world were inquiring about Snow Palace's movements and asking if they should suppress everything.

Chen Yue tapped the screen with her fingertips.

"All related information will be blocked. Anyone who dares to leak even a single word will be dealt with according to the previous rules: those who should be sent to mining farms will be sent to mining farms, and those who should be shorted and delisted will be shorted and delisted."

After hanging up the call, Chen's father came over.

"Xiaoyue, is everything alright inside? Why has there been so little movement?"

Chen Yue looked up.

"Don't worry, Dad. With Grandpa Sun leading the team himself, there won't be any problems."

Ivan couldn't understand Chinese, but he could tell from their expressions that they were talking about what was happening inside. He leaned over and said a few words, pointing towards the delivery room.

Chen Yue talked and gestured for a long time before she finally reassured him a little.

Four hours later, two loud cries came from the delivery room.

The people in the quarantine area immediately stood up straight and looked towards the door.

The nurse came out carrying two babies who were wrapped up tightly, their eyes above their masks curving upwards.

Congratulations, it's a boy and a girl, both mother and child are safe and sound.

Ivan reached for the nurse's arms, and Chen's father reached out at the same time. Their arms bumped together, and neither was willing to give way.

Chen's mother patted Chen's father's arm.

"What's the rush? Let your in-laws hold him first."

Ivan couldn't read Chinese, but he knew from Chen's mother's actions that she wanted him to go first. He was overjoyed and carefully took the baby boy from the nurse's hands. His arms were so stiff that he didn't dare to move. He held the baby for less than two minutes before Chen's father reached out and took the baby from him.

The two stood in the isolation zone, glaring at each other, neither willing to give in.

Chen Yue, watching from the side, found it amusing. She took out her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it as a group message to all project teams around the world.

"The boss was overjoyed to have twins, a boy and a girl, and all project teams got their year-end bonuses doubled."

As soon as the message was sent, Chen Yue's phone was flooded with congratulatory messages. She casually turned off the notifications and turned to arrange for receiving the congratulatory gifts.

Less than half an hour later, a private congratulatory telegram from the Russian side arrived at Chen Yue's terminal. Immediately afterwards, a private plane from the Middle Eastern royal family landed on the aurora city's helipad, carrying three full boxes of top-quality jewelry and century-old medicinal herbs, which were delivered directly to the entrance of the Snow Palace.

Chen Yue arranged for people to register and catalog everything, and all the items were put into storage, with special notes indicating that they were gifts for the two young masters and princesses.

Three days later, Katyusha had almost fully recovered and was able to get out of bed and walk around.

The family gathered around the specially made temperature-controlled crib, and Ivan and Chen's father were still arguing about who would take the baby out to get some sun today.

"I'm the grandpa, it's appropriate for me to hold him."

"I'm the maternal grandfather, and I'm a guest from afar, so it's my turn to hold him."

The two men gestured back and forth, but neither could convince the other.

Chen Yang carried over a bowl of millet porridge with brown sugar, sat down next to Katyusha, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and held it to her lips.

Katyusha took a sip.

"It's too sweet. How much brown sugar did you put in?"

Chen Yang scooped up another spoonful.

"Old Sun said it's good to replenish qi and blood, so adding more won't hurt."

Katyusha didn't argue and drank it.

Chen Yue pushed open the door and came in, carrying a stack of documents and two gold-embossed gift boxes.

"Brother, this is a list of congratulatory gifts from countries all over the world. Please take a look. There are also several marriage proposals from old European wealthy families, which I have suppressed. These two gift boxes were sent by Director Li. They are said to be longevity locks for the two children, made of pure gold and engraved with the word 'peace'."

Chen Yang glanced at the stack of documents.

"You can decide what to do with the wedding gifts. Put the useful ones in the warehouse, and donate the useless ones to charity. As for the marriage proposals, just refuse them directly. Tell them that it's the Chen family's children's marriage, and they can decide their own marriage. It's none of the outsiders' business."

Chen Yue nodded, placed the document on the table next to her, and glanced at the crib.

"These two little ones are so good-looking, they look exactly like your sister-in-law."

Katyusha smiled.

"If you like, come and play with them often in the future."

"Of course! As their aunt, I've already prepared gifts for them. Once the project is finished, I'll take them skiing."

Chen Yang had just finished feeding the last mouthful of porridge and placed the empty bowl on the small table next to him.

A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

[The host's family is detected to be harmonious, and the bloodline continues.]

[The system unbinding process has started. Unbinding successful.]

Chen Yang paused, holding the bowl, and glanced around the room.

Ivan and Chen's father were still arguing about who should hold the baby, while Chen's mother was folding the baby's clothes. Katyusha was reaching out to poke the little girl's cheek in the crib, and Chen Yue was lying by the bed playing with the baby.

The snow outside the window fell lightly, and the sunlight shone through the bulletproof glass, warming everyone.

Lei Zi led security personnel to patrol the corridors, keeping all risks outside the walls of the Snow Palace.

I used to think that the system was my greatest reliance, but now I realize that the people around me are the most precious things in my life.

So what if the system is gone? His life has never been supported by the system.

Chen Yang reached out and touched Katyusha's hair.

Katyusha turned to look at him.

"Honey, what name do you think we should give the baby? Choose one of the few we thought of before."

"How about we name the boy Chen Ping and the girl Chen An?"

Katyusha read it twice.

"It sounds nice, let's call it that."

Chen Yue, who was standing nearby, heard this.

"This is a good name. I'll write it down and have it engraved on the longevity lock later."

Just then, the communicator by the door rang, and Lei Zi's voice came through.

"Boss, the Forbes Global Rich List has just been updated, and your personal wealth ranks first in the world, more than three times that of the second-place person. In addition, dozens of heads of state from various countries have sent video congratulatory messages, asking when it would be convenient for you to receive them."

Before Chen Yang could speak, Katyusha spoke first.

"Just tell them we need to spend time with the kids right now and don't have time, and ask them to wait two weeks."

Lei Zi responded and cut off the communication.

Chen Yang smiled and put his arm around Katyusha's shoulder.

The snow outside the window had just stopped, and a beam of aurora fell on the crystal dome of the Snow Palace, refracting a rainbow of colors.

The baby in the crib waved its little hand and grabbed Chen Yang's drooping sleeve.
