Chapter 209 \nChapter 209 – "It's a gift for you." (1)\nJiang MingYuan took a look at the source of the trouble and said to his son, “This is not money but it has money inside of it.”
“How could this hold money?” XingXing bent the card a little and, not seeing any cracks in it, his doubts deepened.
“The money isn’t inside literally…” As the little kiddo was dubious about it, Jiang MingYuan had to explain to him how money was held inside of it.
XingXing didn’t really understand everything that his daddy had said but he at least understood that his daddy wasn’t lying to him. As such, the card that he was frowning on had turned into his latest favorite. Staring at the card, he seemed to be able to see all of his new toys on it. After he was done looking at it, he handed it to Cheng Huan. “You hang on to this for me, Mommy.”
After all those, the card went straight back to Cheng Huan’s hands. Cheng Huan put away the card safely, promised XingXing that she will get him new toys, and started chasing them away.\nXingXing had been sleeping with his daddy for the last two days and had been adjusting to that well. Seeing that his mother was chasing them out, he pro-actively walked up to hold his daddy’s hand.
When the father and son walked inside of the elevator, he whispered softly to his daddy. “Daddy, I did well today, right?”
Jiang MingYuan lowered his head and into his son’s eyes. He remained silent for a little while and, when the elevator door finally opened, grunted his acknowledgement.
“So we are not going to let Mommy tomorrow either?” The little kiddo tightened his fists and asked again, “When is the shiny thing going to get here?”
“Probably day after tomorrow?”
“Am I giving it to Mommy?”\n“No.” Jiang MingYuan gave his son a look, located the sleepwear, went inside the bathroom and started drawing the water.
“Why not?!” XingXing followed him inside and stomp his feet. “I was the one who picked it out!”
Jiang MingYuan tested the water temperature with his hand and said to his son, “Because I am the one who paid for it.”
Speaking of money, the little kiddo was very confident of himself. He reached his arms out and climbed onto his daddy’s back. Wrapping his arms around Jiang MingYuan’s neck, he said, “I have money too.”
Jiang MingYuan grunted an acknowledgement and carried XingXing to one side. He felt childish being so petty with a kid so he said, “Okay, next time it will count as yours.”
“But I like that shiny one.”
\nJiang MingYuan dried his head, walked over to flip over the blanket, before he told XingXing to go to bed.
“Wait a second,” said XingXing with his head still lowered. His eyes were still fixated on the book. He flipped through two more pages and finished reading what he wanted to find out before he happily set the book aside and rolled under the blanket. He said voluntarily, “I don’t need you to read me story, Daddy.”
“Alright.” Jiang MingYuan wasn’t good at reading bedtime stories anyway so he felt relieved when he heard that. He pulled the blanket over XingXing, patted XingXing on top of the blanket and said, “Now go to bed.”
“Okay. Goodnight, Daddy.”
“Goodnight.” Jiang MingYuan gave him a kiss gently on his forehead and asked, “Do you still want to go into the office with Daddy tomorrow?”
The little kiddo shook his head with his eyes closed. His fist next to his mouth and he fell asleep shortly after that.
