Chapter 178: Chapter 103: How Could Life Be the Same No Matter Who You Spend It With?
"My child is already this old, how could I possibly do those things? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."
"Wait a minute!"
Jiang Wanyi was about to end the video call, but her mother stopped her.
"What is it?"
"Where did you find that lactation consultant? My old colleague’s daughter is in the same situation as you. Give me the consultant’s number."
Chen Yuan thought, ’A new client?’
"He already left. He went to the Capital City and isn’t in Zhonghai anymore," Jiang Wanyi refused flatly.
Chen Yuan thought, ’Just lost a potential client.’
"Alright then. I’ll let her know."
After she hung up, the living room fell unusually quiet.
"Duoduo, I’m hungry..."
Jiang Wanyi suddenly reacted, her small fists landing on Chen Yuan’s body.
"That’s my nickname. Who said you could call me that?"
"Duoduo..."
"I’m going to pinch you."
Jiang Wanyi’s hand landed on Chen Yuan’s waist. She pinched him and didn’t let go.
"This is all your fault. The baby learned to call you ’Dad,’ and now I can’t even get her to stop in front of my parents."
The pinch hurt a little, but Jiang Wanyi wasn’t using much force, so it was well within his tolerance.
He reached out to grab her arm, but Jiang Wanyi reacted quickly and blocked his hand.
But Chen Yuan wasn’t one to back down. He decided to give her a taste of her own medicine, reaching for the soft flesh of her waist.
"Ah!"
Jiang Wanyi couldn’t help but laugh, immediately pulling her hand away from Chen Yuan.
"Stop fooling around! I’m super ticklish."
"What were you thinking when you were pinching me?"
"I wasn’t wrong. Didn’t you teach her all this?"
"Who’s the baby’s daddy?"
"You, you, you... you are..."
Jiang Wanyi didn’t dare move. Their position was a little ridiculous.
Chen Yuan was lying on the sofa while Jiang Wanyi was bent over him, her chest less than ten centimeters away. He could even smell the faint, sweet scent coming from her.
She saw that Chen Yuan had stopped moving, his gaze fixed on her chest.
A captivating blush spread across her delicate cheeks, and a charged, ambiguous atmosphere began to grow between them.
"You’re so annoying. Let go."
"Since I’m the baby’s daddy, is there a problem with her calling me Dad?"
"N-No."
"That’s more like it."
"Annoying."
Chen Yuan let go, and Jiang Wanyi rubbed the spot on her waist. The charming blush on her face hadn’t faded yet.
"Are you hungry? I’ll go make you a late-night snack."
"Yeah, that sounds good. I am a little hungry."
"Just wait here."
Jiang Wanyi went to the kitchen. She took the leftover takeout barbecue and mixed it into some egg fried rice. She even cut up a plate of fruit. Chen Yuan had never received this kind of treatment, not even at home.
After making Chen Yuan his snack, she took the band out of her hair, letting her long locks fall loose and giving them a few shakes.
She went back to the room and took out a change of clothes for Chen Yuan.
"After you eat, go take a shower. Change out of those clothes, and I’ll wash them for you in a bit."
"I only have these two sets of clothes. Don’t wash them, it’s too much trouble."
"I have my own to do, too. I’ll just throw them in the washing machine together. It’s no trouble."
"Okay."
Jiang Wanyi went to the bathroom to shower while Chen Yuan ate and chatted with Song Jianye.
He replied to a few messages, finished the last bite of fried rice on his plate, polished off the fruit, and then took everything to the kitchen.
He had just turned on the faucet, ready to wash the bowl, when the bathroom door opened. Jiang Wanyi emerged, wrapped in a bath towel, with another towel turbaned around her hair.
A large expanse of her fair chest was exposed, and due to the sheer size of her round bust, a deep cleavage was visible.
Like a lotus flower rising from clear water, naturally beautiful and unadorned, Jiang Wanyi at this moment possessed a unique kind of beauty.
"What are you doing washing dishes? Go on, get out of here."
Without taking the time to change in the bedroom, she rushed into the kitchen in just a few quick steps and snatched the dirty bowl from Chen Yuan’s hands.
"Go take your shower."
"It’s just washing one bowl. I can’t let you do all the work."
"This isn’t a man’s job anyway. Be good and listen."
It wasn’t that Chen Yuan was insistent on washing the bowl, but lately, he had been completely waited on hand and foot by Jiang Wanyi, and he felt he should do *something*.
"If this keeps up, my limbs are going to atrophy."
"If they really do atrophy, I’d feel quite a sense of accomplishment for being able to raise a man like that."
Jiang Wanyi took the bowl and the small fruit dish, then nudged Chen Yuan aside with her hip, pushing him to one side.
"Now go, take your shower."
"Alright, thanks for your hard work then."
Jiang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at Chen Yuan.
"Didn’t you say it yourself? I’m the baby’s mom, and you’re the baby’s dad. Isn’t this the kind of stuff I’m supposed to do?"
"Alright then, I’ll leave it all to you, Duoduo."
"You’re still calling me that!"
With the bowl in her hand, she lifted her leg to kick Chen Yuan, but since she was only wearing a towel, the movement was a bit too big, and it almost fell off.
Chen Yuan twisted his waist and dodged the attack.
"Hurry up and get in the shower."
"You got it."
Chen Yuan went to take a shower. When he came out, Jiang Wanyi had changed into a nightgown and was doing her skincare routine.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, enjoying the child-free weekend. Both their bodies and souls felt completely relaxed.
...
The next morning, when Chen Yuan woke up, it was already past nine o’clock.
The house was silent; there wasn’t a sound.
He got up and dressed, then saw Jiang Wanyi working out in the living room. She was wearing yoga shorts and a tank top, her back to him. The sunlight streamed in, creating a beautiful scene.
Hearing a noise behind her, Jiang Wanyi turned around and saw Chen Yuan.
"With no baby around, you must have slept well last night."
"It was okay..."
"Just okay?" Jiang Wanyi said with a smile.
"What’s wrong? Did you have something on your mind? Couldn’t sleep?"
"No, I’m just used to sleeping with little Mili in my arms. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and panicked when I reached over and she wasn’t there."
