"This is... fresh milk, it can't be stored."
Chapter 16 Ambush
Lee Hyun-eun didn't want to delve too deeply into this issue; it was quite sensitive in many ways. She moved the bottle away to divert attention and asked her daughter:
"Xuan Ya, how's your blind date mission with Xiao Chunan going? You just finished it, right? You've already finished a whole bottle."
Although it's called a bottle, it's actually quite different from a standard baby bottle. It's much smaller in capacity, since you can't possibly squeeze out such a large amount at once.
Jiang Xuanya straightened Xiao Chunan's position, letting him lean against her chest so she could easily rub his cheeks with her hands:
"There's only a tiny bit of progress. Although the rules don't require 100% completion, I still need to get a passing grade. I just finished feeding Xiao Chunan, and I'm still two-thirds of the way to passing."
Lee Hyun-eun knew nothing about the mission's progress or anything like that, and she asked in confusion:
"You've already finished a third of the bottle? Do you want to drink two more?"
"Is there any left? How much is it, Aunt Hyun-eun? Can I buy it from you?" Chu Yinan's eyes lit up; he thought they were out of stock.
Jiang Xuanya answered on behalf of her mother:
"The one from this morning is gone, and we don't have any at home for now. We'll have to see if we can get some more. But drinking a few more bottles probably won't help."
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Lee Hyun-eun tickled Xuan-ya's arch to shut her up, then got back to business: "If drinking a few more bottles doesn't help, what about your mission progress?"
Seeing her mother's puzzled look, Jiang Xuanya knew she hadn't read the question carefully, and chuckled to herself:
"The mission was to try multiple methods, right? Why don't you give it a try, Mom? Little Chunan is craving something sweet... Hey, stop tickling my feet, I'm serious!"
Chu Yinan listened blankly to Jiang Xuanya and Li Xuanen talking about things he couldn't understand, and then somehow, the two seemed to have made a plan.
Lee Hyun-eun took off her slippers and climbed onto her daughter's bed. Her movements were a little too big, and her soft flesh, no longer restrained by her bra, trembled violently. Jiang Xuan-ya carried Xiao Chunan into her mother's arms.
"Little Chunan, didn't you have a craving for that little brand of milk?"
"Hmm, but didn't you say there weren't any more?"
"Your Aunt Hyun-eun should still have some. Go ask her for it, and we can finish the mission at the same time. I don't know how much progress we'll make. It probably won't be possible to get a 40% increase in progress all at once. 20% is the maximum. How will we make up for the rest?"
Jiang Xuanya pinched her mother, and Li Xuan'en's legs trembled slightly. She subconsciously squeezed them together and glared at her daughter reproachfully.
Looking at the dark wet stains on his clothes, Chu Yinan vaguely knew what brand of fresh milk he had drunk.
He swallowed hard, realizing his predicament.
He thought that at most he would just have a couple of bites with Sister Xuanya.
I never expected it would be a replacement!
......
Lee Hyun-eun really liked this perspective; it was the first time she had discovered the beauty of this viewpoint.
The adorable child lay prone in front of her, carefully cradling her in his hands. His tender face was forced to face her directly, and although his eyes shyly darted away, the awkwardness and helplessness he showed when his gaze met hers softened Lee Hyun-eun's heart.
But the call came at a rather inopportune time. After glancing at the caller ID, Lee Hyun-eun was even less inclined to answer it.
I'm in a really bad mood.
This is a call from her husband, probably asking her to help with some kind of favor, which might end up causing her a lot of trouble.
After being hung up once, the other party still wouldn't give up and called back. The joy that had been floating on Lee Hyun-eun's face vanished, and she frowned slightly.
"Aunt Hyun-eun, why don't you answer the phone first? I'm going to the restroom." Chu Yinan glanced at Jiang Xuanya next to her and wisely prepared to slip away.
Lee Hyun-eun gave Xiao Chunan an encouraging, heartwarming smile, and gently stroked the back of his head with maternal affection.
"It's nothing, just a phone call. Good boy, keep going!"
"Yeah, it's no big deal to take a call," Jiang Xuanya said, her mood worsening as she realized who was calling.
Lee Hyun-eun dialed the green answer button and said indifferently:
"Speak quickly if you need anything, I'm busy!"
Her marriage was already in name only; they were just keeping it on paper because they couldn't register it. After all, only a few people could be blacklisted and expelled by the artificial island authorities.
Her husband, Jiang Jinxiang, was clearly an alcoholic. After Li Xuanen asked him questions, he didn't answer immediately, but instead made slow, drunken noises.
Back home, Lee Hyun-eun had heard this a lot before. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be followed by a barrage of questions or scoldings.
For the sake of her eardrums, Lee Hyun-eun moved the phone's earpiece two centimeters away beforehand.
[Jiang Jinxiang: What kind of tone is that to me! What can an unemployed bum like you be busy with! Do you think you're as tired as me, just lounging at home all day?! Huh?!]
Chu Yinan recognized the voice and felt her situation was becoming even more precarious. Why would someone call at a time like this?
His pause quickly drew the attention of the plump housewife, who mouthed, "Don't worry about it."
Lee Hyun-eun snorted coldly. In the past, she had considered Xuan-ya's feelings and didn't want to ruin the family's relationship, even the superficial harmony. Now, she had no such concerns and no psychological burden.
"Who can I blame for being unemployed? After I took over and got decision-making power, I wasn't even given a script for a supporting role. But I'm definitely not as tired as you are. The company's main business is a mess. An entertainment company is even taking on side jobs to be a spy for others."
His wife's tough attitude felt unfamiliar to Jiang Jinxiang. He used to never dare to talk back when he hit or scolded her. He sobered up a bit and remained silent for more than ten seconds to suppress his temper.
[Jiang Jinxiang: I need your help with something. It's convenient for you since you're on the island. After it's done, even if we get divorced, you'll get more of our 50/50 joint property.]
it is as expected.
Money was not enough to persuade Lee Hyun-eun. She did not pursue luxury goods, nor did she seek custom-made cosmetics, jewelry, or clothes. She did not have a strong need for money.
Moreover, Kang Jin-sang was untrustworthy. He had promised her scripts and resources, but then he simply sidelined her. Lee Hyun-eun's career was going smoothly at the time, but it was suddenly cut short.
When they got married, they talked about "collaboration," hoping it would allow her to film more movies in the future. Now, even during their divorce, they don't forget to mention "collaboration" again.
Lee Hyun-eun had absolutely no trust in him, but she was still curious about what new spy business Kang Geum-sang had taken on after being expelled from the island like a stray dog, and she was even thinking of dragging her into it.
"You speak first, and I'll agree depending on the situation." As she spoke, Lee Hyun-eun used her fingers to wipe away the water stains that had overflowed from the corners of Xiao Chunan's mouth.
[Jiang Jinxiang: Help me take someone to the rendezvous point, that little boy who came to our house before, the one named Chu something. See if Xuan Ya can contact him, then take him to the rendezvous point. Don't worry about the rest, just wait to get your money, at least ten million universal coins!]
Lee Hyun-eun: "?"
Chapter 17 Infernal Affairs!
Having finished explaining the important matters, Jiang Jinxiang seemed to want to play the sentimental card, but unfortunately, Li Xuan'en was not in the mood to listen to such trivial words.
"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
[Jiang Jinxiang: This matter will only benefit you, and it won't be difficult for you to do. I'll give you two days to consider it.]
After hanging up the phone, Lee Hyun-eun put her phone aside and looked at Xiao Chu-nan, who was lying on her like a baby, and then switched him to the other side to nibble on.
Jiang Xuanya had just vaguely heard something and asked:
"Mom, what did he call about?"
Lee Hyun-eun wanted to say it directly, but fearing it would ruin her mood, she shook her head and said:
"Let's talk about it later. First, let's finish that dating mission of yours. Is there any progress?"
Jiang Xuanya weighed her mother's fair and tender fat in her hand. If she hadn't tasted it before, she would have been fooled by Xiao Chunan's relish and thought it was delicious.
She checked her phone to confirm:
"There really is progress, it's increased by 17%. How come I can get progress on my date mission with Xiao Chunan from you, Mom?"
Chu Yinan guessed that the progress was probably due to his involvement.
But this physique thing is really as strange as a rebirth simulator. It can have all kinds of physiques. Aunt Hyun Eun is not a pregnant woman, but now she can still occasionally have this kind of "overproduction" situation due to endocrine disorders.
Chu Yinan had only heard about this situation when reading physiology books before.
He wrapped his arms around the married woman's waist. Her plump fat made it impossible for him to hear her heartbeat, but because he was holding her, Chu Yinan could still vaguely feel the throbbing of her chest coming from her ribs.
When she was on the phone with her husband just now, Aunt Hyun-eun's heart was pounding and she felt hot all over, probably because of the pressure she was under. Her blood pressure also increased significantly.
"It should be over by now, there's no more progress."
Jiang Xuanya reached out to pick up Xiao Chunan, but Li Xuanen slapped her hand away, stopping her.
She was reluctant to part with him, protectively stroking Xiao Chunan's back, stammering as she tried to find a reason:
"Maybe there will be some progress, let's wait a little longer, my good boy isn't done yet."
After waiting for a while, the progress bar still didn't move, like a dried-up salted fish that had lost its motivation to move forward. Li Xuanen couldn't find an excuse, so she had no choice but to hand over Xiao Chunan.
Chu Yinan and Jiang Xuanya reviewed what Li Xuanen had just demonstrated, and the progress bar had finally reached 57%.
Jiang Xuanya estimated that the remaining scraps would be enough for Xiao Chunan to eat on his own for a while, so she simply said:
"Mom, can you tell me about the phone call now? Stop keeping me in suspense, it must be something important."
Lee Hyun-eun looked enviously at her daughter, Hyun-ah, with the little one clinging to her, and sighed for some unknown reason. Holding little Chun-nan's hand, she said:
"It's another harmful thing. He said he wants me to take Xiao Chu Nan to meet someone, and then I don't have to do anything, I'll just get paid as a reward. Xiao Chu Nan, you have to be careful lately, don't go with anyone you're close to!" Li Xuan En earnestly instructed, not just as a casual remark, but seriously.
Are you taking me to meet someone?
Chu Yinan frowned. Could it be that they wanted to take me along to use the opportunity to study the technology of Turing Tower or something?
Honestly, the motive is quite strange. If we really wanted to study it, the older sisters like Vallis and Wei would have been thoroughly investigated long ago. Why would they want a crippled product like him, whose "sexual" abilities have been enhanced but whose innate abilities have been depleted?
Jiang Xuanya felt nauseous at the news, and as if afraid of frightening Xiao Chunan, she tightened her grip on him.
"They're like persistent ghosts; even after being kicked out, they still try to do bad things. Why don't the AIs just block all the communication methods of those blacklisted individuals? Would it be useful to warn them in advance in this situation?"
These are very difficult to block; it's a lot of effort for little reward, and it could potentially affect a company's external communications. Besides, if the other party really wants to call, they can just use someone else's phone.
Many debtors who have been restricted from high-spending by the court continue to live a carefree life of extravagant consumption by using "others'" credit cards. It is unclear whether there are any hidden transactions involved, but it is certainly difficult to manage.
Lee Hyun-eun also reminded Seon-ah:
"Xuanya, Jiang Jinxiang might call you again later, so be careful. This is no joke, and it wouldn't be good if you got dragged into it. Just refuse all calls for now. You can still communicate via personal terminal on the island anyway."
"I know, but this can't be a solution. What if he keeps harassing us with messages? But why is he targeting Xiao Chunan?"
Seeing how worried they were, Chu Yinan couldn't pretend anymore. Although Chu Yinan felt that Jiang Xuanya had some suspicions, the doll maid she brought here last time was indeed a bit out of date.
He loosened his mouth, perhaps because he had been lost in thought and had been sucking too hard, and when he released it, there was a "pop" sound.
"Don't worry about that. It's probably because I'm a 'child of Turing Tower' that people outside are watching me. I'll talk to the AI sisters in a bit, and they'll protect me."
The child of Turing Tower? Jiang Xuanya was taken aback, realizing that Chu Yinan wasn't joking, and immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it":
