Cheng Huan wasn't too interested in the campfire party plus she was a little bit tired after being out for an entire day and only wanted to home and go to bed. She wanted to decline it when she heard Jiang MingYuan asking but XingXing saw all the people and wanted to go see what was going on. Cheng Huan had no choice but to go with him.

The party wasn't that impressive. There were singing and dancing, then groups of dozen or so people would gather and chitchat. When the time came, guests could choose to stay at a tent or to return to their rooms.

XingXing wanted to sleep in a tent as little kids were always curious about everything novel. Unfortunately, neither one of the adults felt like it so he finally had to return to the mansion with them reluctantly.

"Don't stay up too late. Go to bed early." Jiang MingYuan kissed XingXing on his cheek and, after he received the kiss from his son, stood up and said goodnight to Cheng Huan before he extended his invitation. "Get up to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning?"

Way back on the plain Lao Liu had already mentioned how amazing the sunrise here was and Cheng Huan had been curious about it. But sunrise was early and Cheng Huan had doubts that she could get up in time. "It's so early that I might not wake up to the alarm."

That's fine. I can wake you up.

After the words had rolled on his tongue for a few times, Jiang MingYuan finally picked the best tone to say it. Nevertheless, the one with ulterior motive has not yet had a chance to speak when XingXing raised his hand and said, "Mommy, I can get up in time! I'll wake you up!"

Jiang MingYuan, not being able to say what he had wanted to, felt a discomfort in his chest. He glanced over at his son who had ruined his moment, his chin taut, and didn't say a word. Nodded at Cheng Huan, he said in a cold voice, "Okay then. I will see you two tomorrow morning."

"Goodnight." Cheng Huan waved at him, opened up the room door, and walked inside with her son in tow. XingXing said goodbye as well and waved and blew him kisses. Unfortunately, his father didn't see any of those.

Seeing that the room door had closed, Jiang MingYuan finally walked over to his own bedroom.

Inside the bathroom in the room, clothes came off. Standing under the shower, Jiang MingYuan let the water hit him on his face with his eyes closed.

Steam began to fill the bathroom and things began to blur. Finally, all there was left was the sound of the water.

After ten minutes, the sound of the water stopped. Jiang MingYuan walked out with a bath towel over himself. He was topless and the water from his hair dripped down onto his chest, making him that much more seductive. Unfortunately, no one was there to appreciate the sight. The man undid the towel and tossed it aside before he grabbed another one to dry his hair with. He didn't care whether his hair was completely dried or not and got ready to go to bed.

SNAP! The lights were turned off. Lying in bed to fall asleep, Jiang MingYuan had too much on his mind to fall asleep easily. After a little while, he opened up his eyes again, reached out for his cellphone, located the contact that he wanted, and sent over a text.

It took Cheng Huan a while to bathe XingXing, get him into bed, read him a story, and finally bathed herself.

Sitting on the bed, her hair was tied up loosely on the top of her head as she applied her facial mask and played on her cellphone.

The game would attack the monsters automatically and there was not much she needed to do. Cheng Huan looked at the colorful effect on the screen mindlessly when her cellphone vibrated all of a sudden.
