Chapter 184: Chapter 106: Princess Carry

Seeing Jiang Wanyi’s reproachful expression, Chen Yuan found it amusing.

The way she looked right now wasn’t much different from his female classmates.

She had both the allure of a young wife and the proud willfulness of a teenage girl.

"She’s secondary. Seeing the child’s mother is what’s most important."

"I don’t believe you. Hmph."

Jiang Wanyi went to the kitchen, brought out the washed fruit, and said with a note of self-pity:

"I see how it is now. I have no status here anymore. You two can just have your life together from now on. Don’t mind me. If you want something to eat, have her make it for you. If your clothes are dirty, have her wash them for you."

’Whoa, the jealousy is practically radiating off her.’

"Forget washing, I’d be counting my lucky stars if she doesn’t pee on me."

Jiang Wanyi covered her mouth and laughed. "As long as you know."

He sat down comfortably on the sofa. Jiang Wanyi’s iPad was on the armrest, displaying photos of Mili—the ones he had taken for her before.

"Why are you looking at photos of her at home?"

"I haven’t seen her in two days. I miss her."

The glow of motherly love emanated from Jiang Wanyi, and Chen Yuan could understand.

Even he would miss Mili after a few days of not seeing her, let alone her own mother.

But now that Chen Yuan was here, Jiang Wanyi’s longing for her child wasn’t as intense.

Chen Yuan ate the fruit while flipping through the photos of the child.

"When are you planning to bring her back?"

"Tomorrow, probably. That’s what I was thinking." Jiang Wanyi thought for a moment and said,

"My mom just recovered, so I can’t let her watch the baby overnight for too long. I’ll try to bring her back as soon as possible."

Jiang Wanyi brought over an empty bowl and placed it in front of Chen Yuan for him to spit the fruit pits into.

But when she returned, she saw that half the plate of fruit was already gone.

"Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet. I’ll just have some fruit."

"It’s almost seven, and you haven’t eaten?"

Jiang Wanyi stood up, took the hair tie from her wrist, and gathered her loose hair back up.

"What do you want to eat? I’ll go make you something."

"Sit down, don’t worry about it. I’ll be full from the fruit."

Jiang Wanyi paid him no mind and went to the kitchen. "At your age, you can’t skip dinner. How about I make you a bowl of noodles? It’s soupy, so it’ll be easy to eat."

Knowing he couldn’t stop Jiang Wanyi, Chen Yuan didn’t object further. He was, in fact, a little hungry.

Before long, the noodles were ready. Inside the bowl were several peeled shrimp, a fried egg, and it was served with a glass of milk.

"This looks delicious."

He took a large bite and ate with great relish.

She shot Chen Yuan a look. "You’re driving me crazy."

"How am I driving you crazy?"

"You didn’t tell me beforehand that you hadn’t eaten dinner. I wasn’t prepared at all, I didn’t even know what to make for you."

She put on a stern expression with her lovely face. "It was my mistake. I just assumed that at this hour, you would have already eaten."

"What’s the big deal? Skipping one meal is no biggie. I’ll just count it as dieting."

"Diet at your age? I think you’re a little too thin as it is. Eat more."

"Alrighty."

He ate the noodles, drank the milk, and let out a satisfied burp when he finished.

’So satisfying.’

"Come try on this jacket, see if it fits."

Just as Chen Yuan was about to drink the rest of the soup, Jiang Wanyi came out of the bedroom with a cardboard box printed with the Arc’teryx logo.

"You bought this for me?"

"The weather’s getting colder. You need to change up your wardrobe."

Jiang Wanyi took the garment out of the box. It was a black hard shell jacket that looked very durable.

"Come on, try it on and see if it fits."

"This must have been expensive, right?"

"Don’t worry about how much it cost. Just hurry up and try it on."

Not giving Chen Yuan a chance to refuse, Jiang Wanyi stood behind him with the jacket and unzipped it.

Chen Yuan stood up and put on the jacket.

"Are the shoulders too tight?"

"They’re perfect."

She walked around to his front, helped him zip it up, and then took a few steps back.

"This style really only looks good on you. On other people, it just looks dowdy."

"It’s because you have good taste."

"Well, this is the only time I’m buying one for you. From now on, you can have Mili buy them for you."

"Mili’s mom, you’ve really mastered the art of being passive-aggressive."

"I’ll smack you," Jiang Wanyi said, feigning indignation.

"The seasons are changing, so be careful when you’re playing sports. It’s easy to catch a cold after you sweat, so try to play indoors more often."

"Mm."

"When you have time, bring all your summer clothes over. You won’t be wearing them anymore. I’ll wash them and pack them up for you, and then you can take them home."

"We agreed you’d only wash the clothes on my back. You don’t have to do the rest."

"Why are you keeping score? Washing one piece or two, it’s all the same. It all goes in the washing machine. It’s not like I’m handwashing them."

"That may be true in principle, but that’s not how we’re doing things."

Jiang Wanyi put her hands on her hips. There was nothing she could do about Chen Yuan. They’d had this conversation many times, and he never listened to her.

She turned back to the bedroom and found a pair of Chen Yuan’s lounge shorts.

"Go take a shower first. Change out of these clothes, and you can lie down after you’re clean."

"Mm."

Chen Yuan went to the bathroom to wash up while Jiang Wanyi cleared away the bowl and chopsticks.

After quickly washing the dishes, she went to the master bathroom to take a shower.

She scratched her head. It was a little itchy.

Taking care of the baby all day, she was so busy she barely had time to eat, let alone wash her hair for the past few days.

For some reason, Jiang Wanyi thought of Chen Yuan. Since he was here, he could help.

When she came out from her shower, wrapped in a bath towel, her eyes fell on Chen Yuan. He was on the sofa playing on his phone, wearing only shorts, his upper body bare, looking completely relaxed.

Seeing him so relaxed, Jiang Wanyi found it impossible to see him as just a college student, or even as a younger brother figure.
