Chapter 21 - How Come I Don’t Have a Daddy? (2)
Meeting the expressionless face, the subordinate gulped and suppressed the loud objection voice inside of him and shook his head. “No, nothing else. I will get on it.”
Jiang MingYuan turned and looked over at the rows and rows of tube-shaped buildings. He finally turned back and said to the chauffeur, “Let’s head back.”
The chauffeur started the car and turned it around. Behind them, a blue light truck also started at the same time.

XingXing used every adjective he knew to rave about the “big car”. So much that even the mover started to chuckle.
He closed the door and wiped away the fog on the windshield and asked Xingxing when he was done, “Then do you want to drive a big car when you grow up, little boy?”
XingXing thought about it for a little bit and said no with a pout.
The driver was baffled, “Why not? Didn’t you say you like big cars?”
“Because I like many things and I can’t do them all.” The little kiddo was still a little bit shy around strangers. He’d hide next to Cheng Huan when he talked, sticking out only half of his head. “Mom said one must be focused.”
“Eh, little kiddo knows a lot huh?”
XingXing cracked his mouth open with a prideful smile.
The man asked again, “Then what would you like to do when you grow up?”
“I want to make money! Lots and lots of money! Then I can buy a big house for mom!” replied XingXing with almost no hesitation. He wanted to stretch out both of his arms, but the room inside the truck was very limited, so he had to shrink the area a bit and said, “Like this big!”
“Wow, that’s very amazing of you!” praised the man before he turned to Cheng Huan. “Your son knows his duty to care for his mom very well.”
Cheng Huan smiled.
The original owner’s shell was very pretty. The kind of pretty with a lot of characters. The novel had spent a lot of words describing how the girl used her body to attract others and referred to her as “beautiful snake woman.”
Perhaps because it was now a different soul inside the body, this body’s beauty had changed. It was the kind of beauty that was less aggressive. Each look and smile have been mellowed out.
Humans are very visual animals. Everybody likes to be close to beautiful people. The driver was dazed by Cheng Huan’s smile and blurted out without thinking, “How come I didn’t see your husband, beauty?”
As soon as he finished saying that, he almost wanted to slap himself across his face.
If the man didn’t even show up during a move, he was either working elsewhere or they have been divorced. If she was divorced, he’d be an a-hole to ask such a question.
He was very regretful of his own words but the person next to him didn’t seem to be offended. She just smiled lightly and said that he was away to take care of some matters.
“That’s not right. He shouldn’t let you guys take care of something like this alone. That was so irresponsible.” The man felt relaxed and the filter was gone all over again. After he said that to Cheng Huan, he turned to XingXing and said, “Little kiddo, you need to talk to you dad and tell him that he can’t….”
“What are you saying to a child?” Cheng Huan interrupted him.
The smile on her was gone, and she casted him a casual look. Immediately, there was a distance between them.
The driver choked back the rest of his sentence. Even if he was slow, he could tell that his customer was unhappy now.
He regretted a lot and wanted to say something to ease the air, but Cheng Huan had already turned around and was playing with XingXing.
The message that she didn’t want to interact with him anymore couldn’t be clearer.
