The Villainess Female Supporting Character Raising Her Bun

Chapter 226

Chapter 226 - "He's your child alright. He likes shrimp too." (2)

Life hasn't been too different from before and, after dinner, the family of three used the news as background noise while they discuss about their trip the next day.

XingXing only found out tonight that they would be going to visit Grandpa with Daddy the next day. He was very curious about his new family member and asked a lot of questions such as how big and how tall was Grandpa and what did he look like.

Jiang MingYuan was very interested in this topic as well so he had XingXing wait for him as he went upstairs to grab his father's photo.

It was the picture that he had on display in his bedroom. In the picture was Father and Mother Jiang and the young him. As soon as XingXing saw the picture, he cried out and his eyes widened. He pointed at the center of the picture and asked, "Is this me?"

"This is Daddy." Jiang MingYuan smiled and explained as he pointed at the person in the picture. He even told some anecdotal fun facts when the picture was taken.

This was the first time he had talked about himself and both Cheng Huan and XingXing listened with great interest. Seeing how interested the two of them were, Jiang MingYuan shared a few other more interesting stories. When they were done, it was already 10 PM and XingXing was so tired he would not stop yawning. Jiang MingYuan put the picture down and took XingXing for his shower. He walked back into the living room after he had tucked his son in.

Cheng Huan, too, had finished showering. Sitting on the couch in her pajamas, she walked over to him when she saw Jiang MingYuan walking out.

"What's the matter?" Jiang MingYuan could tell that there was something she wanted to say.

"Em... Do I need to bring something with me as gifts when we go visit your hometown tomorrow?"

Jiang MingYuan brushed back a strand of her hair and said mildly, "No. The assistant will have them readied. You just need to bring yourself."

"That is not what I am talking about." Cheng Huan gritted her teeth and said, "What I want to ask is what does your mother like?"

Cheng Huan didn't like Madam Jiang, whether it was in the novel or in reality. She couldn't have any fondness toward her from the event of her future "mother-in-law" having someone drawn XingXing's blood in school alone.

Nevertheless, her not liking her was one thing. She was still Jiang MingYuan's mother. That wasn't something that they could change. She didn't want Jiang MingYuan to be stuck in a bad position between the two of them. As long as her bottom line was not compromised, she didn't mind "placating" this Madam Jiang.

Jiang MingYuan could read what was on her mind. He sighed inwardly and, touching the tip of her brow with his fingertips, he said gently, "I am so happy to have met you."

"Don't change the subject. This is important." Cheng Huan grabbed his hand and brought it down. She seemed to be struggling. "Don't tell me something super expensive. I can't afford anything super expensive. Plus, its too late tonight already and most of the shops are already closed. I am not even sure if I will be able to buy anything tomorrow."

Jiang MingYuan lowered his head and played with her fingers. "You don't need to worry about any of those."

"Why? You have that prepared as well?"

"No." Jiang MingYuan pulled her hand over and kissed her on her fingers. "No need for any of those. She is not in China right now."

"She is not even coming back for the New Year?"

"No, and probably never will." The man didn't seem too happy talking about his mother. He smiled and changed the subject. "Don't think too much. Just go to bed early. Don't lose sleep again like you did last night."

"I am not going to have insomnia every night." Cheng Huan pulled her hand back and hrumphed. Then, she said somewhat awkwardly, "You don't stay up too late either."

"Mmm."

"Goodnight then..."

"Alright."

The man just looked at her and didn't move. After some hesitation, Cheng Huan suddenly stood on her tip toe and touched his lips with hers.

"Good...."
