Chapter 185: Chapter 106: Princess Carry

It was like having a man around the house. With the child gone for the night, she could just lounge on the sofa and do whatever she pleased.

This feeling...

Without realizing it, a smile crept onto Jiang Wanyi’s lips.

’This is really nice.’

She went back to the bedroom and changed into a clean, comfortable nightgown. When she came out, she went to the guest bathroom and saw that it had been tidied up completely.

’That part wasn’t very typical of a man of the house.’

’What kind of man voluntarily cleans the bathroom after taking a shower?’

She sorted her and Chen Yuan’s clothes that needed washing, putting them together to be done in batches.

She put on a face mask and walked out of the bathroom, hairdryer in hand.

"Alright, your moment has arrived."

"More than happy to be of service."

Jiang Wanyi walked over to the sofa. The outlets were covered with clear tape to prevent Mili from touching them, so it had to be peeled off before use.

Chen Yuan held the hairdryer while Jiang Wanyi sat cross-legged inside the playpen. She held an iPad, looking at the photos Chen Yuan had taken of their daughter and using an editing app to add little flowers, blades of grass, and other cute things to them.

"AHH—"

Jiang Wanyi shrieked. "Get it further away! It’s too hot!"

"It’s my first time using this thing."

Even though it was a common household appliance, Chen Yuan had never actually used one. He usually just let his hair air-dry.

"You’re so clumsy."

Jiang Wanyi said with a laugh, gesturing with her hand. "About a foot away is good. Don’t get too close."

"Got it."

With Jiang Wanyi’s coaching, things went much better this time.

From his vantage point, he could look down her collar and see the pale skin of her chest and the deep valley of her cleavage stretching downward.

Right then, Chen Yuan didn’t have any impure thoughts. Instead, he was simply enjoying the moment.

"Why are these photos still on here?"

On the iPad, besides photos of Mili, were some of the more sensual pictures he had taken of her.

"I didn’t feel they were safe to keep on my phone. The iPad always stays at home, and only I know the password. I can look at them when I’m here and have some free time."

Holding the iPad, Jiang Wanyi looked back at Chen Yuan.

"These shots of me in the qipao turned out especially nice."

"The model is gorgeous. It was a foolproof shot."

Chen Yuan focused on drying her hair, sneaking a peek at her chest every now and then. It was quite a thrill.

"Hmph."

Jiang Wanyi gave a proud little huff. After she finished editing the photo, she set the iPad aside.

"So, what do you think? When Mili gets older, what kind of extracurriculars should we sign her up for?"

The same problem Fang Youqing was facing had now cropped up for Jiang Wanyi.

’It seems these are the sorts of things you have to consider once your child starts growing up.’

"We can’t be the ones to decide that. We should just watch her closely and see if she has a natural talent for anything or shows any particular interests. Then we can focus on nurturing that."

"So you mean we should respect her choice, right?"

"Of course. Otherwise, we’d just be wasting money, and she’d be miserable learning it."

Jiang Wanyi nodded, thinking that Chen Yuan had a point.

"When I’m at home doing my postpartum exercises, I’ll put her in her playpen or stroller, and I always see her wiggling around. Sometimes I play music for her, and if I hold her up, she’ll bounce along to the beat. Do you think she might like dancing?"

"Nope. Even if she likes it, she’s not doing it. Pick something else."

"Didn’t you just say we should respect her choice?"

"Learning to dance is exhausting! They have to do splits and backbends... There have been a few cases in the news, kids who ended up with lifelong disabilities from dance class. Nope, no dancing."

Jiang Wanyi started to laugh. She hadn’t expected Chen Yuan to be worried about something like that.

’Isn’t he being a little overprotective?’

"Those people probably went to uncertified studios, right? If we find a good place, that shouldn’t happen."

"It’s still exhausting! All roads lead to Rome, so why make her suffer through that? Pick something else."

"Well then..."

Since dance was out, Jiang Wanyi started thinking of other activities that might suit her daughter.

"She has a ton of energy. What about something like ping-pong or badminton?"

"Nope. Sports are too exhausting. She’ll have to deal with enough hardship when she grows up and joins the workforce. Her childhood should be happy."

Jiang Wanyi couldn’t stop laughing.

Her chest jiggled with her laughter, creating a delightful sight.

"You’re going back on your word! You said we should choose an activity based on what’s right for her, but I’ve suggested two things now and you’ve shot them both down. I’m done choosing. You pick."

"I think something like piano or calligraphy would be great. She wouldn’t have to be out in the sun and rain, and she can learn at home."

"I see what’s going on. You don’t want her to suffer one little bit."

"She’s our little girl. Of course we have to raise her with care. And what’s wrong with piano or calligraphy? Aren’t they good options?"

"Alright, let’s go with that for now. When she’s two or three, we can slowly introduce her to them. She has to learn *something*. We can’t have her be the only one not learning anything when all the other kids are."

Chen Yuan had no personal experience with this sort of thing.

But Tongzi had infused him with the experiences of a past life. Kids these days really had it tough in school; it was a total pressure cooker.

Even though there were no explicit regulations from the Education Bureau, schools would privately pass along the message, encouraging parents to have their kids learn some special skill.

In the end, all the pressure fell on the parents. It certainly wasn’t an easy task.

He turned off the hairdryer and fluffed her hair a few times.

"Okay, see what you think."

Jiang Wanyi got up from the floor and went into the bathroom to fix her hair.

"You know, you’re actually pretty good at this. The job’s all yours from now on."

"Piece of cake."

After combing her hair a few times, Jiang Wanyi stayed in the bathroom. She washed both of their underwear, then took them into the master bathroom to hang them up to dry.
