Chapter 207: Chapter 114: You Have a Man, Don’t You?

"Mom, wait a second!"

Jiang Wanyi rushed in immediately. There was no time to think. She quickly snatched Chen Yuan’s underwear off the floor and gathered her own lingerie.

"What are you hiding from me for? You’re still young, it’s normal to wear pretty things."

It took Jiang Wanyi a moment to understand. She glanced down at the panties in her hand—black with a lace trim. It was one of the few sexier pairs she owned.

"I don’t have many pairs like this."

"It’s normal to buy more. If you don’t wear them while you’re young, you won’t be able to when you’re old."

Jiang Wanyi grew flustered and quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, I get it. You don’t need to worry about this stuff."

"You get like this every time I bring it up."

The mother and daughter came out of the bathroom. Liu Fengzhi went right back to work, helping Jiang Wanyi tidy up her room.

At that moment, Jiang Wanyi’s heart was in her throat. She stood in front of the wardrobe, just a single door away from Chen Yuan.

She was terrified her mom would try to open it, and she had no good reason to stop her.

"You still have a few unworn items here, just tossed on the chair. What am I going to do with you? Let’s put them in the wardrobe."

Liu Fengzhi folded the clothes, intending to put them away. "Move, move. Don’t get in my way."

When it came to nagging Jiang Wanyi, Liu Fengzhi was merciless.

Inside the wardrobe, Chen Yuan heard everything crystal clear.

It was hard to imagine that a woman like Jiang Wanyi, who kept her life in such perfect order, could still be seen as inadequate in her parents’ eyes.

Perhaps in a parent’s eyes, no matter how old their children get, they never truly grow up.

Even after they started their own careers and families, their parents would still find fault with how they did things, nagging them while simultaneously helping clean up their messes.

"Give them to me, I’ll put them away. Why don’t you go to the spare bedroom?"

Jiang Wanyi didn’t dare argue. She just wanted her mom to get out of her room as quickly as possible.

Jiang Wanyi put the baby in the stroller and took the clothes from Liu Fengzhi’s hands.

Through the crack in the wardrobe door, he could see how nervous Jiang Wanyi was.

Tiny beads of sweat had formed on her smooth forehead from the stress.

The moment she saw her mom turn her back and walk toward the door, she yanked open the wardrobe, threw the bundle of clothes and underwear inside, and slammed it shut.

Before Chen Yuan could even react, he got a face full of Jiang Wanyi’s lingerie.

He was hit with a wave of her intoxicating scent.

Once in the spare bedroom, Jiang Wanyi relaxed a little. She was out of danger for now.

Wanting her mom to leave sooner, Jiang Wanyi helped Liu Fengzhi with the tidying, and they finished quickly.

"What do you want for dinner tonight? I’ll make something for you."

"Sweet and sour hairtail fish, maybe? I haven’t had that in a while," Jiang Wanyi said after a moment’s thought.

"I guess my trip was a waste. You and the baby should just turn in early tonight."

"You should have called a few more times! Let’s go now, I have to go meet a colleague. We already made plans."

"Let’s go."

"I’m going to change. You can watch the baby for a minute."

"Go ahead."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Wanyi went back to the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

The moment the door clicked shut, she heard Liu Fengzhi’s voice from the other side.

"It’s just the two of us in the house. Who are you hiding from? Closing the door just to change."

’It’s *you* I’m hiding from, Mom.’

"It’s just a habit. I closed it without thinking."

Judging by the sound of her voice, her mom was still on the sofa. That was good. She probably wouldn’t come over unexpectedly.

She opened the wardrobe door and saw Chen Yuan curled up inside, still holding her underwear.

Only then did she remember that she had tossed all the clothes and underwear inside in a heap.

A blush crept up her cheeks, but there was no time for that now. She immediately put a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, her heart pounding as she whispered:

"We’re leaving now. You stay here and wait for my call."

"Okay."

She reached for the underwear in Chen Yuan’s hand, needing it to get dressed to go out. "I’m sorry," she said guiltily.

"You’ll have to bear with it a little longer. We’re leaving right away."

"It’s fine..."

Chen Yuan whispered, but he didn’t let go.

"Give them to me. I have to go."

"I don’t think this pair looks good on you. Wear another one."

Chen Yuan’s voice was also a whisper. He was afraid of being discovered, which would be incredibly awkward.

"Another one?"

The pair in Chen Yuan’s hand was a light blue cotton style. They were comfortable, the kind of material she often wore after having the baby.

Jiang Wanyi’s heart sped up and her face flushed. She hadn’t expected Chen Yuan to be so bold.

"Most of my underwear is similar. You’ve seen it. Besides cotton, I have modal, but they’re all basically like this."

"I think this one looks good."

Chen Yuan pulled out the black lace pair, and Jiang Wanyi’s face turned an even deeper shade of red.

"I’m going to pinch you. Just wait till I get back, I’ll deal with you then."

After the playful threat, Jiang Wanyi took the black lace panties and then glanced at the nude-colored bra next to them.

"I suppose I can’t wear this one either?"

"I think the red one is prettier," Chen Yuan said with a smile. "But given your current situation, the nude one is fine too."

The nude-colored bra was convenient for breastfeeding. Chen Yuan naturally wouldn’t push the issue; he couldn’t mess around with that.

The red one, on the other hand, was a push-up style that would look very flattering on her.

"It’s not that big of a deal, really. It’s just a little less convenient," Jiang Wanyi said, embarrassed but trying to sound casual.

Hmm?

Chen Yuan picked up on her unspoken meaning.

"In that case, let’s go with the red one."

Jiang Wanyi gave him a look that said, ’You’re impossible,’ as she took the red lingerie set and prepared to go out and change.
