Chapter 196: Chapter 110: Warm Little Sun

Chen Yuan looked at little Mili in her high chair and said with a straight face,

"Apologize to Mommy."

"Ahhh..."

Mili: ’What are you guys talking about? I have no idea!’

Jiang Wanyi covered her mouth and started to laugh. Her gentle smile was like a warm breeze.

"Be serious."

After Chen Yuan’s remark, Jiang Wanyi pretended to look serious.

"Ahhh..."

Mili: ’Whatever you’re saying, I’ll just babble along.’

"Alright, she’s already apologized to you. You can’t scold her anymore."

Hmm?

Jiang Wanyi sensed something was fishy.

"I see you’re not on my side. You’re just afraid I’ll spank her, so you’re trying to preempt me."

"Just tell me, did she apologize or not?"

"No, I couldn’t understand her."

"If you couldn’t understand, that’s your problem. You can’t blame Mili."

"You two are ganging up on me."

The two of them chatted while they ate and quickly finished their meal.

After the meal, Jiang Wanyi went to wash the dishes while Chen Yuan "walked" the baby in her playpen.

After a while, she started playing possum and refused to move.

Just then, Jiang Wanyi finished washing the dishes and came over with a plate of sliced fruit.

Seeing her precious daughter lying motionless on the floor like a little frog, Jiang Wanyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"You really wore her out. She’s usually making a fuss right about now."

"Don’t worry, I already made it clear to her that it was Mommy’s idea and had nothing to do with me."

"So I get to be the bad guy."

Jiang Wanyi placed her foot on Chen Yuan’s leg and pinched him with her toes.

"You’re using that trick again! I see you’re the sneaky type."

"Say whatever you want. Hmph."

Chen Yuan noticed that Jiang Wanyi’s feet were very delicate, but unlike Fang Youqing’s, she wasn’t wearing any nail polish.

RING RING RING—

Just then, Chen Yuan’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"The person picking up the stuff is here. You and the baby stay home, I’ll take everything downstairs."

"Can you carry it all by yourself? Do you need my help?"

"I can lift even you with ease. A little kiddy ride is nothing."

Jiang Wanyi recalled what happened that morning. Chen Yuan really had picked her up with ease.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Daddy."

"No problem."

Jiang Wanyi saw Chen Yuan to the door. There were a few delivery packages outside, which she brought into the house.

He took the kiddy ride and toys to the entrance of the residential complex. After waiting a few minutes, the buyer arrived.

Seeing no major issues with its appearance, the two completed the transaction in person. The whole thing took less than five minutes.

After getting the money, Chen Yuan didn’t hurry back. He went to the pharmacy by the entrance and bought a bottle of povidone-iodine.

After coming out, he saw that the convenience store next door had a lot of children’s toys displayed at its entrance. One item in particular caught Chen Yuan’s eye.

Nail polish!

’What Fang Youqing has, Jiang Wanyi must have too!’

There were many colors, but they were all gaudy and looked a bit cheap.

’But for her feet, it doesn’t really matter.’

After looking for a moment, he chose a silver one that looked much better. The two items together only cost 10 yuan.

He returned home with his purchases and handed the povidone-iodine to Jiang Wanyi.

"This is for you."

"Povidone-iodine?"

"Didn’t Mili bite you? Put some of this on it," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"The daughter’s debt is paid by the father. I’ll help you take care of the trouble she caused."

"But the thing is..."

Looking at the povidone-iodine in her hand, Jiang Wanyi was a little lost for words.

"Shouldn’t you have bought some kind of cream or something?"

"That’s where you’re mistaken," Chen Yuan said.

"That area has a very strong self-healing ability. If there are no other issues, it should heal in a day or two. But in your case, the biggest risk is bacterial infection, so povidone-iodine is the most effective."

After hearing Chen Yuan’s explanation, Jiang Wanyi had a moment of clarity. She had oversimplified the matter.

"But remember, don’t be gentle. After you soak a cotton swab with the iodine, you have to press down hard. Be tough on yourself."

"Huh?"

Jiang Wanyi winced. Just hearing Chen Yuan describe it made her feel the pain.

"It hurts even with a light touch right now, let alone pressing down hard."

"Just bear it. You can do it."

"What if I can’t?" Jiang Wanyi said with a pout.

"Then we’ll have to use another method."

"What method?"

"I’ll do it myself."

"You’re so annoying! I’m gonna hit you!"

Jiang Wanyi had been waiting expectantly for Chen Yuan to reveal his brilliant method, but she never thought it would be him offering to do it himself.

’That little rascal.’

"You need to be more careful with your posture when you feed her from now on."

Chen Yuan found a doll and a baby bottle and demonstrated the feeding posture.

"You need to find the right angle, hold the baby close in your arms, and use your hand to guide it in..."

"Do you know what I mean?"

"I’ll try to get the feel for it later. You can help me check," Jiang Wanyi said seriously.

"Okay."

"But this is the first time I’ve heard that povidone-iodine can treat it. I’ve only seen ointments recommended online."

"Who’s more of an expert than me? Povidone-iodine is efficient and hassle-free."

"Right, right, no one’s more of an expert than the baby’s daddy."

"Don’t be in such a hurry to praise me. Besides the povidone-iodine, I bought something else." Chen Yuan took out the nail polish he had bought.

"For you."

"Why did you buy this?"

Jiang Wanyi was pleasantly surprised. She never imagined Chen Yuan would buy such a thing.

"I saw you wore some on your toes during the summer, and it’s all gone now, so I just picked one up."

If the povidone-iodine was unexpected, then the nail polish was a delightful surprise for Jiang Wanyi.

This kind of surprise was different from him buying her a small cake; it was hard to describe.

"I don’t want it."

"You think it’s too cheap?"

Jiang Wanyi stretched her foot out and said with a grin, "Since you even bought the nail polish, helping me put it on shouldn’t be a problem, right, Daddy?"

Looking at Jiang Wanyi’s fair little foot, Chen Yuan gave it a stroke.
