Chapter 269 - "When are Daddy and Mommy getting married?" (2)

Cheng Huan sat down across from her and smiled. “Hi, Shen Xi.”

“Mmm.” The girl grunted softly. Looking bored, she turned and looked out of the window. As though appreciating the scenes outside, she said, “Truth is, I have an idea why you wanted to meet up with me. But don’t worry. I don’t know why we have swapped bodies but I have no intention of returning to my own.”

She turned her head back. “Nor am I interested in fighting over your man with you. After all, my sister’s family is rich. I have plenty of men to choose from.”

Cheng Huan, “… So what are your plans?”

Jiang MingYuan had told her that her parents were very unhappy with her recent changes and were planning on having another child through artificial insemination.

Shen Xi paused in a bizarre way and her calm demeaner broke a little. After a little while, she started nonchalantly. “Whatever. One step at a time.”

She had a positive outlook on things. What she had now was already more than she had expected. No matter what followed, she was still in a better situation than she was before.

Her carefree manner gave Cheng Huan headache. She had always felt that she owed Shen Xi. Now that she seemed to childish to her, Cheng Huan couldn’t help but started worrying about her, “You can’t just waste away your time like this. Perhaps you can pick up a skill when you are young? That way you will be able to live comfortably even without relying on someone else.”

“Maybe.” Obviously, Shen Xi wasn’t going to be convinced with just a few words from Cheng Huan. She changed the subject after she had responded to her half-heartedly. “Oh yeah, how’s that son of mine doing?”

Cheng Huan, “… …”

The mentioning of XingXing touched what bothered Cheng Huan the most.

It might not be very appropriate but XingXing, as the person that she had spent the most time with since her transmigration, she was somewhat imprinted on him. The time that they spent together afterward further strengthened their relationship together. She viewed XingXing as real family to her.

One way or another, however, this person in front of her was the real person who had given birth to XingXing. Cheng Huan felt that she as losing grounds in front of her. On the other hand, she was also very upset at how Shen Xi had treated XingXing in the past. She only wished that she could take it out on her for him. The two conflicting emotions battled each other and it was not a pleasant feeling.

The smile disappeared from Cheng Huan and her tone became less enthusiastic. “He’s doing well. He started kindergarten.”

Shen Xi acknowledged that and then there was silence again.

After a little while, she started again, “I didn’t do a good job in the past. I had wronged him.”

Cheng Huan didn’t say anything.

Shen Xi asked again, “Do you have a picture of him?”

Cheng Huan said she did and, after some hesitation, reluctantly pulled out her cellphone, opened up her album, and slide it over to her.

She had a few individual albums that were all XingXing’s photos. She had closed to 100 of them over the past 6 months. Shen Xi looked from one to the next, showing no noticeable emotional changes.

She returned the cellphone back to Cheng Huan after she was done looking at the photos. “He’s cute but I don’t like him.”

Cheng Huan gave her an angry look.

“Why are you staring at me?” Shen Xi tsked. “Looking at him only reminded me of my foolishness when I was young. It only makes me unhappy. So how could I like him?”

Shen Xi reached her arms up and stretched. Standing up, she said to Cheng Huan. “It looks like you like children. Good. I won’t have to feel so guilty over it then. I’m going. I have classes in the afternoon. You can pay for this.”

Having said that, Shen Xi picked up her purse. She took a few steps before she stopped and walked back to Cheng Huan. “Oh, right. Your mother-in-law doesn’t seem to like you much?”

Cheng Huan looked at her and said nothing.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Shen Xi shook her head and patted her on her shoulder. “It’s not easy to be the daughter-in-law in an influential family.”

She took off for real this time after she finished talking.
