After he had brushed his teeth, XingXing finally got to have his eggroll. Unfortunately, it was already breakfast time and there was no longer anything special about the one that he had. That made the little kiddo a little sad and grumpy at his parents for not waking him up earlier.

After breakfast, the family started packing up the apartment. Moving the second time within a 6-month period, Cheng Huan was already getting used to the process. Clothes that she wasn't going to wear was the first that she had wrapped up and placed outside. Kitchenware that was not used often had sheets placed between them to absorb the shock during the move. They were then tied up with a string and placed inside of a large box.

After Cheng Huan had finished cleaning up the table, she tied up the bowls and plates that she had just cleaned similarly and placed them on the top of the box.

Jiang MingYuan had never needed to lift a finger when he moved so he stood to one side for a long while and still couldn't find any places that he could make himself useful. Even XingXing was doing a better job than him. The little kiddo knew to fold up his own clothes and placed them inside of a suitcase.

Albeit the fact that he was doing an awful folding job.

The mother and son helped each other out and finished packing their clothes and the kitchen items. They had further wrapped up the bedding. Jiang MingYuan walked around the house and finally found where he could help out – pack up XingXing's toys.

In 6 months' time, XingXing was no longer that pitiful child with no toys at all. He now had a room full of toys in different sizes. The big ones were taller than him and the small ones were the size of a palm and they were a pain to pack.

Cheng Huan had brought home a lot of boxes before the move and they were collapsed and put away in a corner. They didn't take up a lot of room and all they needed to do were to tape the boxes back up.

It was Jiang MingYuan's first time doing something like this. He didn't exactly find the experience novel nor was he frazzled. He taped the boxes back up calmly and started placing the toys inside of it one by one.

He even divided the toys up obsessively – the superhero ones would not go with the animal ones.

By the time he was done with the toys, Cheng Huan was pretty much done with all the other stuff. Comparing to their move 6 months ago, they had a lot more boxes this time, taking up almost half of the living room.

Jiang MingYuan brought out the final box of toys, washed his hands, can gave his chauffeur a call.

The chauffeur was already waiting downstairs. It didn't take him long to come upstairs with a help and quickly loaded the car, gave them a heads up, and took off with them.

After the mother and son's daily items had been removed, the apartment didn't look much emptier than before. It did, however, lose its human touch and it now looked like a model home.

"I had planned to live here for a long, long time. In the end, we have only spent 6 months here." Packing up wasn't an easy task. Hunching over for the entire morning, Cheng Huan's back was sore. She stretched herself out with her arms up then, massaging her back muscle, she said, "I hope there won't be a next time."

"That's hard to say." Jiang MingYuan was wiping down the couch and the coffee table that had been dirtied during the moving process. When he heard what she said, he said expressionlessly, "There just might be a next time."

"How's that possible? Why would I keep mov...."

Cheng Huan turned her head and looked into his brown eyes. Suddenly realizing what Jiang MingYuan meant by that, she stopped mid-sentence. Blushing for a little while, she finally said not too confidently, "Don't be silly.""I'm not being silly."
