Chapter 201 - "Mommy, Daddy asked you to wait for him to finish showering." (2)

Deducing from XingXing's age, the storyline in the novel shouldn't even happen for another year. Meaning, from now to a year from now, the two of them would be seeing each other from time to time. Cheng Huan wasn't too happy about that.

With her head lowered, Cheng Huan cut her steak up into little pieces. The issue bothered her a lot but she didn't know how to broach the subject.

Dinner went by while she was distracted. Chu Xun finished before them and said goodbye to them on her way out. Once she had said her goodbye, she chattered with her companion with a smile on her and walked out with her arm in his.

Judging from the looks of it, the two of them had a pretty good relationship.

Cheng Huan looked at them for a long time and only looked back after the two of them had walked out of the restaurant.

Jiang MingYuan watched her the entire time and, when she turned back around, asked her, "You know Li HuaiAn?"

"Who?"

"The one with Chu Xun. He, too, is in the restaurant business." Jiang MingYuan wiped his hands on a tissue and said, "He is also her current boyfriend."

"Her boyfriend?" Cheng Huan was surprised. She found that hard to believe. According to the novel, the young mistress was crazy over the male lead for years. How was she already with someone else?

"Fiance, to be more precise." Jiang MingYuan wasn't one who was big on gossips. The only reason that he knew was became Chu Xun's father had sent him a wedding invitation to show his good will.

"Their wedding is next month, the 6th on the lunar calendar. Are you interested in going? Many from the restaurant business will be over and it won't hurt to network with them." He said, "I am, after all, not in the same field and might not know all the ins and outs of the trade."

Cheng Huan felt that she was in twilight zone. How was Chu Xun going to marry someone else? That was never mentioned in the novel! Did something go wrong?

Cheng Huan was expressionless. She suddenly felt that the novel that she read was fake. Nothing went the way the novel did ever since her arrival: The male lead found out that he had a son before she went looking for him; not only did he not resent that coldly, he even seemed like an easy-going person; the cannon fodder who was supposed to fight her over the male lead just casually married someone else and looked quite happy at that; never mind about that female lead who hasn't even showed up yet. Who knew if she'd even be able to marry into the Jiang's.

After all, the female lead ran into the male lead coincidentally while he was giving a lecture at a college before he took interest in her and for her to join the Jiang's.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she had been quiet the entire time, Jiang MingYuan was a little baffled. "You don't have to go if you don't want to. You can always network with those people in the future. I can always refer you to them."

His voice brought Cheng Huan back. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to attend the wedding. I don't really know her and I don't think it is appropriate for me to attend her wedding."

"Okay." Jiang MingYuan wasn't very interested in the wedding to begin with. Now that Cheng Huan didn't want to go, he decided not to go either. "I need to go home for a few days over the new year and will be back on the third. There will still be a few days off remaining. Anywhere you would like to go?"

"Are we going on another trip, Daddy?" XingXing's ears perked up when he heard that they would be going on another trip. His eyes widened and with the fork in his hand and sauce slobbered all over his mouth, he made his request, "I want to go the little island."

The little island that he was referring to was Red Coral. It was the only place the kiddo had been to and he couldn't even name a second place.

Jiang MingYuan rubbed his hand with a smile but didn't say yes. He continued to look at Cheng Huan.
