Chapter 208 \nChapter 208 â "Daddy is lying. This is not money!" (3)\nAnd, just like that, XingXing spent the first afternoon at his daddyâs office picking out gifts. Qi Shan had brought over many brochures with the latest products from all the designer brands. The little kiddo was very serious in his picking process and would look over each item multiple times in order to pick out the ones that he liked the most then compared them again. He was finally able to find the one that he liked the best by the end of the work day.
It was a white Classic Flap that was fuzzy on the outside with a large logo made out of various types of gems. It was surely dazzling.
XingXing had his eye on this one immediately and, after looking around, did not see anything that he liked better. He walked over to his father with that brochure. Jiang MingYuan was just finishing up the last of his work. Putting his document aside, he took the brochure from XingXing. His brows lifted a little and he said, âThis one?â
âYes!â XingXing nodded. âI felt that this one was particularly pretty!â\nâAlright.â Jiang MingYuan didnât have a lot of opinion on it. He knew as much about these as his son. If XingXing said it was good, heâd trust him this one time.
He made a call and was told that this design wasnât available in China and they would need time to have one shipped. It would take about two daysâ time. Jiang MingYuan was okay with that. Hanging up the phone, he made a pact with XingXing not to tell Cheng Huan about it just yet.
âOkay!â XingXing lifted his head and had an inexplicable sense of pride. âWe wonât tell Mommy.â
XingXing was particularly happy when he went home that day with his shared secret between him and his father. He giggled at his mother as soon as his got home. After giggling for a little while, heâd dash around the house. After dashing around for a little bit, heâd come over and call âMommyâ.
It looked like he would let the secret out any minute.\nWith his behavior, there was no chance that Cheng Huan wouldnât be able to tell that something was up. After dinner, Cheng Huan grabbed him when he ran over again and asked him, âWhat mischievous acts had you committed today?â
âKekekekeke.â XingXing giggled nonstop before he turned to look at his daddy and said, âI didnât do anything.â
He might as well have said it out loud that he was keeping a secret. Jiang MingYuan facepalmed. Meeting the dubious look from Cheng Huan, he said nonchalantly, âPerhaps he was just very excited going into the office with me for the first time.â
âWhat does âexcitedâ mean, Daddy?â
âIt means you are very happy.â
\nâIt was all money that Iâve made anyway.â He added that at the end.
Her look changed slowly. She looked him up and down as though the two of them had just met and said in surprise, âI didnât know you kid.â
Jiang MingYuan, â⊠I was telling the truth.â
âAlright.â Cheng Huan shrugged and decided to not worry about it. She wasnât going to take money from a child so, pulling the card out of the red pocket, she shoved it into XingXingâs pocket and said, âKeep it then. Itâs pocket money from your dad.â
XingXing looked down and pulled the card out from his pocket with his little hand. Frowning as he looked at it for a long time, he suddenly looked up at Jiang MingYuan and said, as though being treated unjustly, âYou lied, Daddy. This is not money!â
