Chapter 268 - "When are Daddy and Mommy getting married?" (1)

The meeting couldn’t be rushed. After XingXing was settled in the new school, Cheng Huan moved onto the next item on her to-do list.

She planned to buy herself a car.

The business at her restaurant had been well and she had some extra money available. She planned to buy herself a car. She didn’t have high standards and her budget was around 10,000 yuan or so. She was going to solicit Jiang MingYuan’s opinion but the man said nothing and returned home with a fancy sports car the next day.

Looking at the sky-blue sports car in front of her, Cheng Huan was a bit shocked.

She knew that Jiang MingYuan was rich and that a sports car was nothing to him. But they were just boyfriend and girlfriend after all. She felt a lot of pressure accepting such an expensive gift from him. “Em… I only need a car for transportation. I really don’t need something this nice.”

“It’s last minute so just use this one for now. Let me know if there is something else that you like.” Jiang MingYuan ignored her objection. He opened up the door to the passenger seat, shoved Cheng Huan inside, and took the driver’s seat himself, started the car and took off.

It was close to the evening and about time that XingXing got out of school. There were already quite a few cars parked outside of the kindergarten; all of them up there in costs. The sports car fit right now. In fact, a 10,000 to 20,000-yuan car would look odd among them.

“All the kids here are from wealthy family and materialistic goods are important to them. If the car that drop him off and pick him is not up there with the rest, he just might be teased,” said Jiang MingYuan as he cocked his head and looked at Cheng Huan. “You don’t want XingXing bullied, do you?”

Cheng Huan shook her head.

Jiang MingYuan leaned into her, “So do you want this gift then?”

“I…”

“If you say no, I will have someone dismantle it.”

For once, Jiang MingYuan played the role of a domineering CEO. He refused her refusal to accept his gift.

With a car, Cheng Huan signed up to driving school in order to work on her driver’s license. She had a license before she had transmigrated so doing it again was no big deal. Everything went well.

Half way down the path of acquiring her driver’s license, Jiang MingYuan had already sorted out the relationship between Shen Xi and Mother Jiang. He scheduled a meeting for Cheng Huan after ascertaining that there would be no danger. The other party accepted the invitation immediately.

Shen Xi returned to China when the holidays were over. She was not talented but she didn’t give up either and continued to attend her college classes.

Their meeting was set at the coffee shop outside of the university. Cheng Huan spent half a day deciding on what to wear ahead of time. She finally settled on a low-key black trench coat and went to the meeting with her hair down.

It was class time and there weren’t very many people inside the coffee shop. Shen Xi was already waiting for her when Cheng Huan arrived. She was dressed trendily and her makeup delicate. She possessed both the youthfulness of a young woman and the charm of a mature woman. The contrast between the two was charming. Perhaps not having enough sleep the night before, she yawned with her hand over her mouth. The unlit cigarette between her fingers made her nails looked more attractive.

She looked intensely at the door and spotted Cheng Huan the second that she walked inside. She made no attempt in hiding the fact she was looking Cheng Huan up and down, studying her.

Cheng Huan walked over to her nervously. She curved her lips upward and reached out her hands at her. “Hi, plea….”

“What’s your real name?” Shen Xi cut her off without so much at looking at her hand.

One line from her and she had confirmed what they had suspected. Cheng Huan felt relieved. Reaching out her hand again, she said, “Cheng Huan is my original name as well.”

“What a coincidence,” said the girl while lifted one corner of her mouth. She placed her hand on top of Cheng Huan’s in a perfunctory manner and pulled it back with just one touch. “Me too.”

“But I have a different name now. You can call me Shen Xi.”
