Chapter 99 - All It Took Was One Shot (1)
Even though she had promised Jiang MingYuan that he could spend time with XingXing, Cheng Huan was not thrilled about this .
She felt as though a treasure that belonged only to her previously was now eyed by another person . He said to her that they should be sharing this treasure should be shared by the two of us; otherwise it would be ruined .
Even though she knew that he was right and she couldn’t find a reason to decline him, but she still wasn’t happy about it .
And that was the state that Cheng Huan was in currently .
She knew that it wasn’t a bad thing for XingXing to have a father; that way he could avoid all the odd looks coming from others . On the other hand, she was upset that XingXing showed so much affection toward Jiang MingYuan . He only need to give him a little perks to steal him away .
She was very torn deep down inside .
Troubled, Cheng Huan fell into deep sleep . After she dropped XingXing off at school the next day, she headed toward Rongjiang .
The remodeling of her new shop was over half way done and should be completed by November . The training of her staff was going well as well . The chef came from Xiao Province so he was already familiar with the whole lamb feast and the taste was decent .
After she spent half a day over at Rongjiang, Cheng Huan timed herself and went over to pick XingXing up from the kindergarten .
XingXing asked to buy some more coloring pencils on their way back so they made a detour . When the walked out of the supermarket, the night market was in front of them .
The sky was getting dark earlier now and the night market also started earlier . When Cheng Huan looked over, she so happened to see Xu Li riding over on her tricycle .
Their rain canopy and tricycle all came from Cheng Huan . She had sold them to Xu Li used . As the taste didn’t change, business had been good for Xu Li and she could make upward of 1,000 yuan a night .
After they have gotten home, Cheng Huan started dinner and XingXing went to draw on his own . Half way through her cooking, Cheng Huan heard the phone ringing . Cheng Huan walked out and realized that it wasn’t her phone; it was XingXing’s communicator watch .
Everybody could hear the sound coming from the caller . Even from the kitchen, Cheng Huan could hear the deep and melodious male voice .
“What are you doing right now, XingXing?”
“I’m drawing,” said XingXing as he colored in his drawing .
Speaking of drawing, that reminded Jiang MingYuan of that “XingXing’s mother” with her green hair and purple shirt . His brows twitched a little and he asked, “What are you drawing?”
“I am drawing a sun, stars, and a moon . ” Next to the circular sun, the little kiddo drew a crescent moon . He then added a bunch of stars in between them .
“The sun is yellow and so are the stars…” XingXing mumbled as he drew . Jiang MingYuan would acknowledge him intermittently .
After he was doing drawing, he appreciated it for a while himself before he took it over to show it to Cheng Huan .
“Mommy, I’m done . ”
This was a homework assignment from the kindergarten and the parent needed to grade and sign off on it after it was done .
Of course they basically all got 100 points .
Cheng Huan took a look at it and was pleased . The little kiddo had gotten much better at drawing the moon now . She put down the thing in her hand, went to look for a pen to sign her name on it before she handed the drawing back to XingXing . “Okay, go now . Don’t lose it . ”
As they were talking, Jiang MingYuan stayed on the phone the entire time . He was listening to their interaction as he went over more documents on his end . Hearing that Cheng Huan had given XingXing 100 points, he chuckled and said, “XingXing is so awesome . ”
XingXing had already forgotten that he was still on the phone with someone . Jiang MingYuan’s voice started him . XingXing, with his eyes widened, brought his watch closer and asked, “Who are you?”
Jiang MingYuan, “……”
After a short pause, he said, “I am your fa… . Uncle Jiang . ”
