Chapter 121 -  “Daddy, Mommy hit me.” (2)      

If it was anyone else, Jiang MingYuan didn’t care too much what they were upset about, as long as they wouldn’t hinder him in any ways. Cheng Huan, on the other hand, wasn’t someone that he could just ignore. She’s the mother of his child. He must have a little bit more patience.

He thought about what had transpired yesterday in details and figured that the problem might have lie with the clothes. Maybe Cheng Huan didn’t want men’s clothes in her house? Jiang MingYuan frowned slightly and couldn’t be sure what was the reason behind it. Thinking about it a little bit, he decided to ask his son for help. 

“Baby, can you do daddy a favor?”

“What kind of a favor?”

“It’d like this. Daddy had inadvertently upset Mommy but he didn’t know why. Can XingXing ask for Daddy?”

“Daddy you are so stupid,” said XingXing. “I always know why Mommy’s mad at me.”

Jiang MingYuan, “……” Was he just looked down by his own son?

“XingXing is so smart.” He still needed his son so Jiang MingYuan couldn’t possibly get upset at him. He said nicely to XingXing from the other end of the phone, “Can smarty pants XingXing do this favor for Daddy then?”

“Alright.” Daddy might be stupid, but XingXing still loved him a lot. He might be young but he knew that harmony within a family was important. He patted his own chest and made a promise. “Don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll let you know when I find out!”

“Thank you then, baby.” Jiang MingYuan’s lips curved upward. “Daddy will be waiting for your good news.”

After hanging up the call with XingXing, Jiang MingYuan refocused on his work. The year end was always the busiest time of the year. The performance of the year needed to be summarized, the goals for the coming year need to be set. There were almost unlimited documents to pour though and unlimited meetings to attend. 

Jiang MingYuan had always been good at keeping his work and his personal life separate and rarely would he let his personal life distract him while he was at work. Today was a little different. He wasn’t very focused as he was looking at the document in front of him and he recalled the clothes that he had brought over yesterday again. 

There were four pieces total. The tee shirt, sweater, and pants that Cheng Huan bought for him. All but that underwear that was a size too small he had swapped it out to a more fitting pair. 

He didn’t think much when he brought the clothes over. All he told Cheng Huan was that they he’d leave them there in case they were needed. 

But, for some odd reasons, when he thought about it again, he felt somewhat uneasy. 

After all, leaving a change of clothes there could have a second meaning other than “just in case”. It could also be interpreted as him wanting to stay overnight. 

Jiang MingYuan pursed his lips, put down the documents in his hands, his eyes were a bit unfocused.

XingXing had slammed on his chest and promised his daddy over the phone that he would find out for him why Mommy was mad. He planned to spring into actions as soon as he had hung up on the phone. 

He didn’t just ask what was on his mind point blank. The little kiddo was smart. He knew that it Mommy was very agreeable when she was pleased. 

To put it into action, XingXing climbed down from the couch, ran inside the kitchen, walked inside a corner that was out of her way, and said to the woman who was busy in front of the stove, “Mommy, I am here to help you!”

“I don’t need your help over here. Just go play elsewhere, baby.” The soup was boiling inside the pot. Cheng Huan opened up the lid and checked before she turned the burner down and added more ingredients inside of it. 

“Mommy, I want to help.” XingXing wasn’t one that could be sent away easily. If Mommy wouldn’t let him help, then he’d look for something that he could do by himself. The little kiddo stood on his tippy toes and looked around. He saw the dishes that were already done sitting on top of the countertop. He walked around to the dished and reached out for them.
