Chapter 193: Chapter 109: I Want to Wean Her Off Night Feedings

On the way back, Song Jianye was mashing buttons on his phone’s calculator.

"Today’s revenue is 786. If we can make this much every day, that’s over 20,000 a month."

Song Jianye was only calculating the gross revenue. In reality, there were many hidden expenses. The exact amount would be up to Tongzi’s judgment.

Just then, a notification from Tongzi appeared.

[Task Complete: Reward: 2,000 yuan cash, 1x Revenue Doubler Card]

’Use the Revenue Doubler Card,’ Chen Yuan thought.

[Revenue Doubler Card used successfully. Net profit from this stall venture: 406 yuan. Reward: 40,600 yuan.]

Huh?

’Why is it so much lower?’

[All expenses for the day are counted as costs, including but not limited to: lunch, the mini-train ride...]

’Tongzi, you’re dead to me!’

’Why is the money Song Jianye spent on himself being counted in this?!’

’And that’s not even including the fine. If we get hit with that, this whole day will have been for nothing.’

...

The first class on Monday was Bai Yueran’s.

Wavy hair, red lips, high heels—she was rocking the holy trinity of fashion. She could probably take on the world with a juice box.

He used the class time to memorize some vocabulary words, getting through about half of the high-frequency words for the CET-4 exam.

During his advanced math class, Chen Yuan received a message from Jiang Wanyi.

She had picked Mili up.

Jiang Wanyi sent a video.

The video showed Jiang Wanyi filming from the back seat. Based on the interior, it probably wasn’t her car.

Little Mili was sitting on her lap, wearing a cute little outfit with a small elephant printed on the chest.

When Mili saw Jiang Wanyi pointing the camera at her, she started waving her arms and legs excitedly.

"Tell Daddy we’re going home."

"Baba~~~"

Seeing little Mili’s smiling face, Chen Yuan smiled too.

’Raising a kid is actually pretty fun.’

"Boss, what are you doing? You’re grinning like a pervert," Sheng Kangming said.

"I’ve acquired the ability to stop time. In a bit, I’ll have the guys from the Rongcheng hometown association take care of you."

"Get outta here! The hell?!"

Ignoring Sheng Kangming, Chen Yuan replied to Jiang Wanyi.

Chen Yuan: "I’ll come see Mili this afternoon."

Jiang Wanyi: "What do you want to eat? I’ll make you a nice meal. [smirking_face.jpg]"

Chen Yuan: "I’m craving some Yuxiang Shredded Pork."

Jiang Wanyi: "That’s my specialty. Anything else?"

Chen Yuan: "Just that. You can decide on the rest."

Jiang Wanyi: "Okay."

Chen Yuan: "Let me see Mili again."

Jiang Wanyi: "No more. Go study and don’t get distracted."

Chen Yuan: "OK."

He had just put his phone away when it chimed again.

Jiang Wanyi: "[Video]"

Jiang Wanyi: "This is the last one. Now go study."

Jiang Wanyi: "[beating_you_up.jpg]"

Chen Yuan: "Got it!"

After chatting for a bit, it was time for the lunch break.

Song Jianye didn’t have classes in the afternoon, so he went to the hotel and then to practice for his Subject Three driving test.

After eating with his dorm mates, he saw a message from the External Relations Department in the group chat.

The owner of the pet cafe had referred them for a new gig, and they’d made a little extra cash.

And the account’s followers had successfully broken the 20,000 mark.

After his afternoon class finished, Chen Yuan had Sheng Kangming take his books back for him and left.

At the campus gate, he bought two hot drinks, a viral wobbly cake for Jiang Wanyi, and a small pinwheel for little Mili.

After buying everything, he headed to Jiang Wanyi’s place.

After getting out of the elevator, Chen Yuan didn’t rush in. He pushed open the fire escape door. The stuff was still there; he could take this chance to clear it out today.

When he got to her door and it opened, he saw Jiang Wanyi holding little Mili. She was wearing a gray nightdress, and because she was holding the baby, one side of her chest was pressed into a flat, round shape.

Seeing the things Chen Yuan bought, Jiang Wanyi guessed they were for her.

’He’s thinking about both me and the baby.’

"This cake isn’t the super-sweet kind. It’s still warm, try some."

Chen Yuan knew Jiang Wanyi didn’t like things that were too sweet, which is why he bought this one.

"I’ve seen this kind of cake before, it’s super popular. I wanted to buy a piece to try, but the line was always too long, so I never did."

"Well, didn’t I get you exactly what you wanted, then?"

"You did."

Jiang Wanyi’s heart felt fuzzy and warm, like a bubbling rainbow.

Chen Yuan was absolutely right; he had bought exactly what her heart desired.

Her period was coming, so she had been craving sweets for the past few days, and he had actually gone and bought some for her.

Chen Yuan immediately went forward, took little Mili in his arms, and pressed his cheek against her soft, pale one.

"Daddy’s gonna give you a kiss."

He gave her a big smooch on the cheek, and little Mili’s eyes crinkled into crescents as she gurgled happily.

But her attention was on the small cake. She reached out her little hands, wanting a bite.

"This is medicine, you can’t eat it. If you do, you won’t see Mommy anymore," Chen Yuan coaxed deceptively.

Jiang Wanyi had a slightly smug look on her face.

’Your daddy bought this for me, so you can’t have any!’

Hmph!

"Yaya ya..."

Little Mili turned a deaf ear. She still really wanted to eat it, stretching her little hands out to grab the cake.

Jiang Wanyi had no intention of letting go. The last time they bought cotton candy, Chen Yuan had told her not to give Mili things like that, or she would stop drinking her milk and eating baby food.

’She needs to be an obedient baby, and I need to be an obedient mom.’

"Be a good girl, sweetie. If you eat this, you won’t just miss seeing Mommy, you won’t see Daddy either."

Mili’s little face instantly tensed up. She stared with her big, bright eyes, and then stopped reaching for it.

"What’s the meaning of this!"

Jiang Wanyi put her hands on her hips, questioning little Mili.

"It’s fine if you don’t see Mommy, but the moment I say you won’t see your daddy, you don’t want the cake anymore? What’s the meaning of this?"
