Chapter 111 - Why Don't You Go Take A Shower (1)
Zhong Yuhuan, being bragged to to his face, slammed down the phone in disgust. Then something else occurred to him.
Didn't Jiang MingYuan say he was not interested in his son's mother? Then what's with the bragging?
Holding on his chin, he fell into deep thought. He thought of something interesting and chuckled out loudly.
Jiang MingYuan, being hung up on, finally drove the car out of the garage.
Upstairs, XingXing leaned up against the window and watched the black sedan drove away. He turned around and said to Cheng Huan, "That's Daddy's car."
"You could tell?" Cheng Huan was a bit surprised.
The car was gone. XingXing turned away and nodded. "Yes, I can recognize it!"

After Jiang MingYuan had gotten home, he walked straight into his study. He still has work to take care of.
His body was still feeling the excitement from earlier in the day and his was highly efficient at his work today. What he thought would have taken him till 12 AM, he was able to get done by 10 PM.
His eyes were sore from working too long so he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and punched his nose bright.
His phone rang again but he didn't pay it any attention.
The ringer stopped after a little while but then started again two seconds later. Jiang MingYuan finally opened up his eyes and pressed "Accept" to answer.
It was a tender voice coming from the other end. "Am I interrupting your work?"
Jiang MingYuan looked up and replied a "no" nonchalantly.
"Oh, child. You always work so late. Sometimes it's not all about making money. You must pay attention to your health also..." The person on and on, saying words with his best interest in mind. Jiang MingYuan only listened quietly. He was very concise when he acknowledged intermittently.
When the person from the other end stopped talking, the call fell silent. Jiang MingYuan started to feel tired. After a little while, the person from the other end asked, "Are you still mad at your mother?"
"Don't overthink it," said Jiang MingYuan.
"I know you were not happy that I brought someone home without talking to you first. But you need to think about it from where I stand too. How old are you now? And you are still single. I am anxious for you." The person sighed. "You can't remain single for life."
This was a topic that'd come up every time the two of them have a conversation. Jiang MingYuan was exhausted and didn't wait to fight. So he merely said, "I have my plans."
"I wish you do. If you do, would I still have no grandchild by now?" Gu MingLi sighed again and prodded, "Is there really not a girl that you are interested in?"
The image of a person flashed though his mind quickly. Jiang MingYuan paused a little but replied with a "no".
"That's fine if you don't. If there is one, bring her home so I can meet her." Gu MingLi didn't notice the slight pause. She brought up a separate issue. "I heard that you are having some minor issues with the Chu's?
"I've heard it from Chu Xun already. She didn't do it on purpose. You didn't need to do that to a girl and put her on the spot. Why don't you find a time and meet up with her..."
"We are not going to talk about this anymore." Jiang MingYuan interrupted her. "I'm tired. You should get some rest too, Mom."
Then he hung up the phone.
Every phone call with his mother ended unpleasantly. Jiang MingYuan should be used to it by now. But being used to it didn't meant it wouldn't bother him anymore. Leaning against his chair, he looked up at his ceiling. After a long while, he finally got up and walked inside of the bathroom.
Inside of the shower, hot water ran down from the top of his head, along his cheeks, to his chest, waist, stomach. They then split into two streams around his legs and ran all the way down to the floor along his legs.
Jiang MingYuan lifted up his head and let the water sprayed on his face. He closed his eyes and held his breath. He finally rubbed his face with his hand after two long minutes and opened up his eyes.
