Chapter 267 - "Should we have another child?" (4)

After his past failure, Jiang MingYuan had looked it up specifically. He now knew that he had to style it as he went. As much as he was slow and stupid in the process, the outcome wasn’t half bad.

Cheng Huan was tired this time and could fall asleep on the chair. Jiang MingYuan carried her to bed after he had finished blow drying her hair. He sat to one side and massaged her back.

Cheng Huan’s waist was sensitive and she couldn’t handle that for long. Waving her arm backward, she said, “You can stop now.”

Jiang MingYuan grabbed both of her wrists with one of his hands and continued massaging her with his other. “You will feel better tomorrow.”

Cheng Huan felt tingling in her scalp from his massage. “I just want to get some sleep.”

“Go ahead and sleep.”

“I can’t sleep when you are doing that.”

“Then chat with me.” Jiang MingYuan let go of her wrists and brought up something else. “What are your thoughts on Shen Xi?”

Cheng Huan let out a surprised noise. “She really exists?” She thought Jiang MingYuan made her up to get information out of her.

“Of course. She’s the younger sister of this body.”

She was real. Cheng Huan licked her lips and thought this through with her not-so-big brain. “Perhaps she’s in the same situation as me?”

“I was thinking that too.” Jiang MingYuan asked, “Who do you think she was before?”

Cheng Huan thought about it some and turned to look at him. “You have a speculation?”

“Yes.” Jiang MingYuan nodded; his finger slipped down along her spine. “I think she was the original resident here.”

That sounded like something straight out of a horror novel. Cheng Huan felt goosebumps all over her body. She turned pale. “Are you serious?”

“It’s very likely. I’ve read some about her from what I had gathered. She behaved a lot like the original owner.” Jiang MingYuan tightened his lips and avoided referring to Cheng Huan by name. In his mind, there was only one Cheng Huan, and that was the person in front of him right now. “That and she has a lot of hostility towards her mother. She had once yelled her for being a poor mother in public.”

“Um…” That sounded very likely when he put it that way. Licking her lips, Cheng Huan’s voice was a little hoarse. “What if she came looking for me?”

“Don’t worry.” Jiang MingYuan leaned down and kissed her on her back. “I won’t let her disturb you.”

He touched her briefly with the tip of his tongue and quickly pulled away from her. His hand continued to move down her body and asked, with interest, “Should we have another child?”

“No!” Cheng Huan rejected him right away. She turned around and grabbed his hand. “It hurt so much having a child. Not to mention that I will gain weight and have stretch marks. I don’t want to turn ugly.”

She wrapped her arms around Jiang MingYuan and said coquettishly. “I don’t want to turn ugly. Besides, isn’t having XingXing enough?”

***

Naturally, Jiang MingYuan wouldn’t feel that it wasn’t enough. He only asked because it had opped into his mind. He didn’t think too much of it after Cheng Huan had rejected the idea.

Moving on from the subject of having another child, the two went back to their original topic. Cheng Huan was still a little worried even with Jiang MingYuan’s guarantee.

She had a guilty conscience when it came to the original owner. Even if she was an awful person, she was still the intruder who had taken over someone else’s body…

“Can you…” She wetted her lips and said, “Can you help me schedule a meeting between me and Shen Xi?”

“A meeting?” asked Jiang MingYuan.

He didn’t quite get it. She looked so scared just a little while ago.

“My first reaction was finding it scary, but… but…” She frowned and tucked on her hair. “Come to think about it, there aren’t anything to be afraid of.”

She didn’t know how to express her feelings right now. They were complicated. She was scared but also curious and felt some closeness to her. Shen Xi very well might be the only other person who was in the same situation as her. Not to mention that she might be the original owner of this body.

To be completely shameless, if it was true, she would very much like to make up to her.

Jiang MingYuan did not like the idea of meeting up with Shen Xi when they had no idea whether she was a friend or foe. That being said, it was difficult for him to hold his ground when it came to Cheng Huan. He only last 30 minutes before he had lost the battle and promised that he would give it a try.
