Chapter 88: Chapter 72: All for the Mother’s Health

He Xiaoxi: "Brother Yuan sang so well. No wonder they put him last—it’s because he’s actually got the skills."

Huang Shengyuan: "That performance got me so pumped! It was awesome! Chen Yuan is a real talent!"

Wang Haoci: "Brother Yuan is badass! I recorded all the songs he sang. I’ll post them online tomorrow. They should go a little viral again, I’m aiming to break 2,000 followers!"

Chen Yuan: "Look at you guys, acting like you’ve never seen anything impressive before. It was nothing special."

Li Yong’an: "@Chen Yuan, a ton of people in the livestream chat were asking about you just now. I think you’re about to blow up."

Chen Yuan: "Filter out the sugar mamas for me. When I’m rich, I’ll hire you as my driver."

Li Yong’an: "Haha, you’re too much."

They didn’t have far to go. After a few more minutes of idle chatter, they arrived at Jiang Wanyi’s home.

She was wearing a set of cotton pajamas. The legs of the pants were loose, but they were a bit tight around her butt—so much so that you could even see the faint outline of her underwear. All you could say was that her figure was just too good; making pajama pants look like that was a talent in itself.

"You even bought cotton candy?"

"I happened to see it, so I bought one for you. This way, I didn’t come empty-handed."

For the longest time, Jiang Wanyi had always tried to stop Chen Yuan from spending money. Whenever the two of them went out, she would always rush to pay for everything.

For one, Chen Yuan had helped her a lot, so it was nothing for her to contribute a little more on the material side of things.

Besides, he was still a student and was spending his family’s money. As the ’older sister’ in the relationship, she couldn’t let him spend too much.

But a single cotton candy really didn’t cost much, so she didn’t say anything more.

Looking at the colorful cotton candy, Jiang Wanyi’s mood became just as colorful.

’It’s so pretty.’

’It had been many, many years since someone had bought her something like this.’

Just then, Chen Yuan spotted two gift boxes in the kitchen.

They were sea cucumbers.

’The packaging looks a bit familiar,’ he thought, ’as if I’ve seen it somewhere before.’

Jiang Wanyi noticed his gaze. "Someone gave those to me. I’ve already soaked two of them; I’ll make you sea cucumber congee tomorrow."

"Well, talk about being upstaged. Compared to their sea cucumbers, my cotton candy is practically worthless."

"I’ll pinch you. Don’t say that."

Jiang Wanyi took out a pair of slippers and placed them by Chen Yuan’s feet. "Hurry and come in."

With a sly grin, Chen Yuan entered the house, his gaze immediately locking onto Mili.

"Goo goo... Aaaah..."

Mili’s attention was completely captivated by the cotton candy. She ignored Chen Yuan, reaching out with her little hands, wanting a bite.

Jiang Wanyi looked at Chen Yuan, asking him with her eyes.

"Let her have a tiny little bit. But just one bite, absolutely no more."

"Okay. This little glutton, she wants to eat everything she sees."

’A small expense for a big return,’ Chen Yuan thought. ’Mother and daughter both get a taste—two birds with one stone.’

Before feeding Mili, Jiang Wanyi took a few more photos, then let her have a small bite.

’This was for me, so you only get to eat a little bit. Hmph!’

After eating the cotton candy, Mili grinned, showing her little teeth, and waved her arms and legs in delight.

But they could only give her a little. If she ate too much, she might refuse to eat other things later, and even feeding her milk would become difficult.

After feeding Mili, Jiang Wanyi brought the washed fruit into the playpen for Chen Yuan to eat.

"The baby is dressed a little too warmly. You should change her into something thinner."

"There I go again with my old habit. I’m always afraid she’ll be cold, so I dress her in extra layers."

"Don’t be so nervous. Babies aren’t as fragile as you think. At least before they’re one year old, they aren’t afraid of the cold."

"Why?"

"Because they can talk after they’re one."

"Because they can talk after they’re one..."

Jiang Wanyi muttered this seriously for a moment before she realized what Chen Yuan meant.

"You’re bullying my daughter because she can’t talk, is that it?"

"You can’t just say things like that. Who says she’s your daughter?"

Holding the cotton candy in one hand and placing the other on her hip, she retorted, "She’s my own flesh and blood. How is she not my daughter?"

"Ask her to call you ’Mama.’ See if she does."

"I..."

Jiang Wanyi was momentarily speechless.

Chen Yuan grinned at Mili. "Come on, say Dada."

"Dada~~~"

Jiang Wanyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. On this point, he really had her cornered.

"Well then, you two ’father and daughter’ can play. I’m going to my room."

Jiang Wanyi went back to her bedroom with the cotton candy, took a few more pictures, and had a bite. It was surprisingly tasty.

Unconsciously, the scene of her bickering with Chen Yuan replayed in her mind.

’They could even make jokes like this now. It seemed like the barrier between them had disappeared.’

’Before, she felt that since she was so much older than him, she naturally had to play the role of an older sister, using her life experience to help or teach him things.’

’But now, it seemed their relationship had been pulled onto the same level.’

’It wasn’t that his mindset had gotten older, but that hers had become younger.’

An imperceptible, gentle smile graced the corners of Jiang Wanyi’s lips. It was a little sweet, and a little intoxicating.

Humans are emotionally rich creatures, and strange ones at that.

Jiang Wanyi wasn’t a huge fan of sweets and didn’t usually eat them.

But this cotton candy in her hands, the more she ate, the more delicious it seemed.

After a few more bites, she set the cotton candy aside and found a thinner set of clothes for Mili. However, she didn’t plan to change her just yet, deciding to wait until after her bath.

Just as she was closing the closet door, her hand paused, and she opened it again.

Inside were some of Chen Yuan’s clothes. She picked out an outfit for him.

’After a moment’s thought, she also grabbed a pair of underwear for him, planning to have him change out of everything so she could wash his clothes later.’

"Go get changed. Take off what you’re wearing, and I’ll wash it for you."
