When he heard that there would be no food, XingXing didn’t want to count his flowers anymore. He bounced up immediately, ran over and hugged Cheng Huan’s thigh. “Mommy, I want lunch!”

Cheng Huan hrumped, ignored him, then walked into the kitchen with the littler tail in tow.

XingXing was genuinely worried that he wouldn’t get lunch and was particularly attentive. He said many sweet words to Cheng Huan and did everything that he was asked.

Cheng Huan felt minorly defeated. For a second there she wondered if she had lost her mind. Why would she discuss this topic with a little child?

After she had locked eyes with XingXing for a little while, she pursed her lips, looked away, and decided to draw his attention away from herself. “That you will have to ask Daddy.”

As such, just a few minutes after he had spoken to Cheng Huan, Jiang MingYuan received a call from his son.

He was just eating lunch and was surprised that XingXing would call him at this hour. He thought perhaps something had happened but, when he answered the call, he immediately received the complaint from his son. “Daddy, do you not like me!”

Cheng Huan walked over dubiously. She thought it was delivery for something that she had ordered but, when she walked up, she saw a bunch of reddish-orange roses.

“Who gave this to you?” Cheng Huan picked up the bunch of flowers but did not see anything that resembled a card on the inside.

“An uncle.”

“What does the uncle look like?”

XingXing’s look was blank. He tried to recall but as the time he was in contact with the person was short, he really couldn’t recall his look. He thought about it long and hard but finally shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Cheng Huan wasn’t sure what to say. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t interested in Jiang MingYuan at all. But the thought of developing a relationship beyond friendship with someone was certainly no small challenge for someone who had been single her entire life.

She worried about a lifestyle that deviated from how she had it planned but also couldn’t resist the attraction from the other person. The two thoughts conflicted in her mind and neither side was winning. As such, her struggle showed up on her look.
