Chapter 221: Chapter 120: The House is Soundproof, I Can’t Hear Anything

Chen Yuan was starving, too, and ate two whole large bowls. It was the first proper, filling meal he’d had in days.

After the meal, Mili’s condition improved even more. The rash on her body seemed to have lessened as well.

"Here, this is for you."

That evening, as he played with the baby in her playpen, Jiang Wanyi brought over some cut fruit and a bottle of goji berry concentrate.

"You haven’t had any for a few days. Drink a bottle today."

"Do I have a choice?"

Jiang Wanyi twisted off the cap and handed it to Chen Yuan.

"Nope. What I say goes in this house."

"How many are left?"

"There are still eighteen bottles."

"At this rate, it’ll take forever to finish them. We should drink them together. You could use a boost, too."

Jiang Wanyi thought for a moment. That sounded fine. After all, the doctor had already seen him and said there was nothing wrong with Chen Yuan.

"Okay."

She went to get a bottle for herself, opened it, and smilingly clinked it against Chen Yuan’s.

"To the baby’s father, cheers."

"Cheers. Here’s to a successful partnership."

They gently clinked their bottles and downed the goji berry concentrate in one gulp.

Now with a moment of leisure, they both turned their attention to Mili.

Now that she was better, she was growing more energetic by the minute and could even sit up and play on her own.

"Your nose is bleeding!"

Jiang Wanyi cried out in alarm and hurried to get Chen Yuan a tissue.

Chen Yuan touched his nose and felt a warm trickle of blood.

"Don’t touch it! Quick, wipe it away."

"Maybe you gave me too much of a boost."

"Uh..."

At first, Jiang Wanyi panicked, worried that Chen Yuan had some kind of illness.

But now, hearing his explanation, she thought it might make sense.

The doctor had said there was nothing wrong, and had even told her to... help him ’relieve’ it.

And the goji berry concentrate she’d bought had been recommended by an acquaintance; its ingredients were supposed to be very pure.

But...

’Is it really that potent?’

’He’s only had two bottles, and this is what happens?’

"Never mind the reason for now. Go wash up first."

Jiang Wanyi pulled Chen Yuan into the bathroom, watching him wash his face while keeping an eye on the baby.

"I guess we can skip the vitality boosters. Now I need to replenish my blood."

Jiang Wanyi felt a little guilty. "I didn’t know this would happen..."

"I’m just kidding. You should drink the rest of that goji berry concentrate yourself."

Jiang Wanyi wanted to protest, but seeing him like this, she had to admit he probably didn’t need any more ’boosting’.

’Too much of a good thing can be bad,’ she thought. ’Giving him too many supplements clearly wasn’t the right move.’

’Given the circumstances, I guess I’ll have to drink the rest myself.’

After Chen Yuan finished, Jiang Wanyi went over to take a look. Once she confirmed he was all clean, they both returned to the playpen.

COUGH, COUGH, COUGH...

Chen Yuan leaned against the sofa, feeling completely vindicated.

This only made Jiang Wanyi feel more guilty.

’There was nothing wrong with him in the first place,’ she thought, ’yet I kept insisting he take all these supplements, acting purely on a whim.’

’Now look what happened. I’ve given him so many supplements that he’s getting nosebleeds.’

’In the future, if she ever brought up the subject of ’nourishing’ him again, he would have the perfect ammunition to shut her up.’

"It’s my fault. I won’t force you to take any more supplements."

Chen Yuan grinned. "I’m not saying it’s your fault, but you have to have a little faith in the constitution of an eighteen-year-old."

Jiang Wanyi laughed. Now she had no choice but to believe him.

"I think the baby’s getting sleepy. I’ll go give her a bath," Jiang Wanyi said, changing the subject to hide her guilt.

"Let’s skip her bath today. She doesn’t need one every single day. We can just play with her for a little while longer before putting her to bed."

When it came to things like this, Jiang Wanyi always deferred to Chen Yuan. If he said no bath, then there would be no bath.

"She hasn’t needed a nighttime feeding for the past few days, so I think she’s adjusted. You’ve been exhausted lately, so let me hold her tonight."

"I’m fine."

"No way. I’ve gotten plenty of sleep and I’m not that tired. I’m holding her tonight, and you are going to get a good night’s rest."

Seeing how insistent Jiang Wanyi was, Chen Yuan didn’t argue.

’After all, she was the one who held the baby while she slept when I wasn’t around, so it shouldn’t be a problem for her.’

"Alright."

"You watch the baby for a bit. I’m going to take a shower."

"Mm."

She stood up from inside the playpen and removed the clip from her hair. Her long locks cascaded down, and she exuded a captivating charm.

Jiang Wanyi went into the bathroom, leaving Chen Yuan to entertain the baby.

He checked her temperature again with the thermometer gun. It had dropped to 36.8 degrees, completely back to normal.

In her current state, she couldn’t eat much at night, so Chen Yuan fed her a little electrolyte water. He planned to start gradually increasing the amount tomorrow.

Chen Yuan dangled a small toy to keep her attention while little Mili crawled back and forth at his feet.

After crawling for a little while, however, she grew tired, her eyes barely able to stay open.

The sound of running water from the bathroom had stopped. ’Jiang Wanyi must be finished with her shower,’ Chen Yuan thought. ’Knowing her routine, she’s probably doing her final skincare steps now.’

Seeing the drowsy little Mili, he had no choice but to keep amusing her. ’What can we do?’ he thought to the baby. ’Your mom isn’t finished with her shower yet.’

[Task Complete: Reward: 2,000 yuan cash, Professional-Level Children’s Game Skills]

Seeing the task notification, Chen Yuan was now absolutely certain that Mili was completely fine.

However, that "Professional-Level Children’s Game Skills" reward was a little hard to define.

Soon, the knowledge from the reward flooded into his mind.

Only then did Chen Yuan realize just how interesting this reward was.

"Children’s games" turned out to be a broad category, covering a wide variety of activities.

All the children’s activities at the indoor amusement park he’d visited with Fang Youning were included.

Ring toss, arcade basketball, claw machines, video games, and so on...

Although many adults enjoyed these games, the primary audience was still children. It was a fun reward, but Mili was still too young for him to take her to play any of them.

Just then, the bathroom door opened. Jiang Wanyi stepped out wrapped in a bath towel, her face covered with a sheet mask and her hair still dripping wet.
