Chapter 78 - 69: Is There a Man in Your House?

Chapter 78: Chapter 69: Is There a Man in Your House?

He told her not to move, and she obediently sat there, waiting for Chen Yuan to give her a bath.

Jiang Wanyi was puzzled. ’How come she’s so obedient with him?’

"Be a good girl, Mili. Daddy’s going to wash your hair. After we’re done, you’ll be a beautiful girl, just like Mommy."

Chen Yuan took the baby shampoo and started washing Mili’s hair.

Just then, Jiang Wanyi suddenly turned to look at Chen Yuan, her intense gaze making him feel a bit uneasy.

"What’s wrong?"

"I need to talk to you about something very serious."

"What’s so serious?"

"From now on, even when it comes to my mom, you have to be on my side!"

"Huh?!"

Jiang Wanyi’s declaration nearly fried Chen Yuan’s brain.

"I don’t even know your mom. We’ve never even met. Of course I’m on your side."

"What I mean is, even when she’s scolding me, you have to defend me and help me come up with a plan."

"Oh, so that’s what this is about," Chen Yuan said.

"Yes, exactly. You have to always be on my side. You can’t just stand there and watch me get made a fool of!"

"Ah, that’s nothing to worry about. It’s just grandparents doting on their grandchild. It’s totally understandable. My family is the same way," Chen Yuan said.

"When my grandpa was alive, it was much worse than this."

Jiang Wanyi’s interest was suddenly piqued, and she looked at Chen Yuan.

"What was your family like? Tell me."

"Well, my grandpa was a very old-fashioned and petty man. He favored boys over girls, so my two aunts weren’t treated very well when they were little. Whenever we had guests, they weren’t even allowed to eat at the main table. But after they grew up, my older aunt got married and had my cousin. Then, the situation completely changed."

"How did it change?"

"Forget just eating at the table—she could have eaten sitting on his head. Instead, it was us grandsons who were suddenly out of favor."

Jiang Wanyi burst out laughing.

’But it’s true, the older generation is really like that.’

"Grandparents spoiling their grandkids is one thing—that’s their business. But you’re on my team. We have to present a united front, you hear me?"

"No problem!"

"That’s more like it. They’re all outsiders. The two of us have to stick together, always," Jiang Wanyi said earnestly.

"So I’m the ’wife’ now."

"I’m the baby’s mother, and you’re the baby’s father. Right now, that makes you my partner. If there’s something I can’t handle, you have to help me."

"I can help you, but I have one condition."

"What is it?"

"You be the wife."

"Pfft-hahaha..."

Jiang Wanyi laughed so hard her body shook, her expression an irrepressible mix of intelligence and gentleness.

’As a woman, I guess I *am* the wife!’

After the bath, Jiang Wanyi wrapped Mili in a towel and carried her back to the bedroom.

After drying her off, she let Mili play on the bed, naked from the waist down.

"Stop sucking your fingers!"

Jiang Wanyi stopped Mili, who was giggling while sucking on her fingers, then looked helplessly at Chen Yuan.

"It looks like she’s getting eczema around her mouth again. I’ve been watching her constantly, but it’s not helping at all. What should I do?"

"Smack her a little harder next time."

"Huh?"

That was not the answer Jiang Wanyi was expecting.

"A little smack on the hand. Make her feel a little sting. It’ll work after a few times. But *you* can’t be the one who cries," Chen Yuan said teasingly.

"Last time you gave her a few little smacks, the baby barely reacted, but you cried harder than she did."

"You’re so annoying! Stop bringing that up. I couldn’t help it."

They played with Mili for a while, fed her again, and then lulled her to sleep.

「Time for just the two of them.」

"Look at my legs."

Jiang Wanyi stood before Chen Yuan, her legs pressed together. The gap between her thighs was so small you couldn’t even fit a finger through.

Chen Yuan poked the soft flesh of her inner thigh a few times. It felt as soft as prodding a water balloon.

"A little more weight, and there’ll be no gap at all."

"I can’t gain any more weight. My weight is fine as it is now."

"This humble servant concurs."

’Getting to look at legs like these every day... it’d be weirder if my life *wasn’t* going well.’

"Should we start now?"

"Mhm."

Jiang Wanyi lay on the bed, and Chen Yuan began helping her with her postpartum recovery exercises.

"We’re not going to have a repeat of last time, are we?"

She shouldn’t have brought it up. The question immediately made Jiang Wanyi recall the embarrassing incident from last time.

"There’s barely any left. Don’t worry."

He proceeded with the postpartum exercises as usual. To complete his task as quickly as possible, he increased the duration and intensity this time.

’But even after the task is done, there’s no harm in coming over for a little massage every week.’

’Chen Yuan told himself he was doing this for Jiang Wanyi’s own good. It was definitely, absolutely not just an excuse to touch her legs.’

"Let’s see how it goes this month. After you finish the restorative tea, it shouldn’t be as painful."

"If it really stops hurting, I’ll give you an award."

"What kind of award?"

"The ’Friend to All Women’ award."

"Haha... I’ll accept that."

’All you young wives and married women, come find me! Now that my Sacred Physique has reached grand completion, I can take on three at once!’

The postpartum recovery session lasted for nearly an hour, but Jiang Wanyi intended to keep exercising on her own.

"You should go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow. I’ll finish my exercises and then sleep with her."

"No, I’ll take her."

Gently, Chen Yuan carried the baby back to the other bedroom.

"You get some rest. And make my award certificate look nice for tomorrow."

Jiang Wanyi smiled gently. ’Sometimes, he’s more of a child than Mili is.’

...

「The next morning.」

Chen Yuan was up bright and early. Jiang Wanyi made him a bowl of seafood noodles, and after he finished eating, he left for class.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday—the day of the campus ’Top Ten Singers’ finals.
