Chapter 59: Aren't You Just a Greenhorn Now?
The two returned home and changed into their slippers. Jiang Wanyi let her hair down.
With a shake and a toss of her head, she fully displayed the mature charm and elegance of a woman.
However, she looked a bit absent-minded.
It was only after getting home that she realized something: why had she ended up discussing marital life with Chen Yuan?
Chen Yuan was holding the baby, checking her diaper, which was quite wet.
He peeled off the used diaper, and instead of putting a new one on right away, he carried the baby to the kitchen, gave Mili a little water, and then placed her inside the playpen.
Jiang Wanyi stood nearby, watching as Chen Yuan did all the work. As the mother, she wanted to help, but didn't even get the chance.
I'll cook something nice for him later to reward his stomach, she thought.
While Chen Yuan watched the baby, Jiang Wanyi went into the bedroom. When she came out, she had changed into a pair of shorts and a white tank top, making her look much fresher and cooler.
After changing, Jiang Wanyi went to the kitchen, washed some fruit for Chen Yuan, and placed it in front of him.
"I've adapted quite a bit during this time, not as worried as before."
Chen Yuan smiled, which gave Jiang Wanyi a bad premonition.
"Am I wrong?"
"As long as you master a few essential skills, taking care of a baby at this stage isn't actually that difficult. Around one year old, when she starts learning to walk, that's when it truly gets exhausting."
Jiang Wanyi thought about it, seemingly unable to comprehend what Chen Yuan meant.
"At that time, she'll be full of energy, and you'll have to watch her every second, follow her everywhere. Your nerves will be stretched tight, and you'll be exceptionally tired."
"Oh no, I'm starting to worry again."
Jiang Wanyi rested her forehead on one hand and looked at little Mili in the playpen. "Right now, I seriously want to stuff her back in."
"When you do your postpartum recovery, work out a bit alongside it to build up your stamina."
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Following the methods you taught me, I've been practicing for a week, and it's definitely working."
Jiang Wanyi stood in front of Chen Yuan, bringing her plump and well-proportioned legs together.
Compared to last weekend, she could clearly feel that the gap between her thighs had narrowed significantly.
She reached out to test it and found that she could only fit a single finger in. The effect was obvious.
"It should be about done in another two or three weeks, I suppose."
Her original plan was one to two months to complete postpartum recovery, but reality was proving much faster than she had imagined.
"Does it still leak when you run or jump now?"
"There's still a little bit, but not much. It's not as severe as before; it has definitely improved a lot."
"Then keep persisting with it."
"Mm."
Jiang Wanyi gathered her hair and clipped it up at the back of her head.
"Watch her for a bit while I go make dinner."
"Okay."
Jiang Wanyi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Most of the ingredients were ready-made; she just needed to process the meat in advance.
After about half an hour, she called Chen Yuan to eat.
Aside from the meat, there were also some green vegetables, though those were strictly for Jiang Wanyi.
The most conspicuous item was a glass of milky-white milk.
Chen Yuan glanced at Jiang Wanyi.
"The baby couldn't finish it all, so do me a favor and take care of it. It'll just help you grow taller."
When people are nervous or embarrassed, they tend to make themselves look very busy.
Jiang Wanyi wanted to pick up the baby, but little Mili completely ignored her, wanting to stay right by Chen Yuan's side and even rubbing her little cheek against Chen Yuan's arm.
"I can tell now, she must have been your little sweetheart in her past life."
"That's a possibility. We can check."
"Check me?" Jiang Wanyi laughed helplessly. "To see if she was born with you?"
"You really shouldn't dismiss it," Chen Yuan said.
"Several people have already said that the two of us look alike. That must mean something."
"Go on with you, getting more and more ridiculous."
Chatting and laughing, the two finished their meal, both feeling quite satisfied.
Although it wasn't as elaborate as restaurant food, the quality was top-notch. You certainly couldn't eat meat of this quality outside without spending a few hundred.
Setting down her chopsticks, Jiang Wanyi went back to the bedroom and brought out a diaper.
"Put this on her. She's been airing out for so long, I'm afraid she'll pee."
Chen Yuan took the diaper and picked up little Mili at the same time.
However, right as he was putting the diaper on her, he suddenly felt a wave of warmth.
Little Mili let out a string of giggles as the two of them watched, wide-eyed, right through her finishing her pee.
"She really knows how to pick her timing," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Quickly take your clothes off. I'll wash them for you later."
Jiang Wanyi carried the baby away. Chen Yuan took off his shirt, but besides his shirt, his pants were soaked too.
"Take your pants off as well. I'm an adult, you don't need to be so prudish about these things," Jiang Wanyi said.
"Wash them now, blast them with the dryer, and you should be able to wear them tomorrow."
"Uh... this..."
"Getting shy now, are you?" A flash of mischievous amusement crossed Jiang Wanyi's face.
"As an adult, what haven't I seen? Take them off, I'll go wash them for you. If you're embarrassed, just go stay in the other room."
A young married woman was truly different. With a stunt like this, didn't it make him look like a total greenhorn?
"The problem is, just washing the pants isn't going to solve the whole issue."
Jiang Wanyi understood what Chen Yuan meant—everything was soaked through.
Still, it wasn't a major problem.
"I'm going out for a bit. Stay here and play with the baby."
With that, Jiang Wanyi went back to the bedroom to change into a comfortable outfit and left with her car keys.
When she returned an hour later, she was carrying a large shopping bag.
"I bought you a set of clothes. Leave a set at my place from now on, so if this happens again, you'll have something to change into."
"Alright."
Jiang Wanyi took the items out of the bag. Aside from the clothes, there was also a box of underwear.
However, besides his, there was also a set for herself...
Which looked... rather nice...
"Don't look at that one. Planning on changing into that too?" Jiang Wanyi teased with a smile.
Not playing it that bold...
"Go put them on first."
Jiang Wanyi took her own undergarments back to the bedroom, while Chen Yuan headed to the second bedroom.
There were three pairs in the box, and the fabric felt quite comfortable to the touch.
"Are you changed yet?" Jiang Wanyi called out from outside.
"Yeah."
Chen Yuan walked out of the room, wearing the pants Jiang Wanyi had bought for him.
"How come there are only pants? What about the underwear?"
"Ah? That probably wasn't necessary, right?"
"Bring it over, I'll wash it together with the rest."
Jiang Wanyi gathered her hair as she walked into the room, spotted Chen Yuan's underwear at the foot of the bed, and leaned down to pick it up.
"You're making me look like a total recruit with all this."
"Isn't that what you are?"
Amused, Jiang Wanyi looked Chen Yuan up and down, a scrutinizing smile in her eyes.
"You've never even been in a relationship; what else could you call a greenhorn?"
A pure-hearted college boy tragically subjected to teasing—I'm calling the police!
