Chapter 202: Mengmeng’s Little Wish

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Mengmeng’s Little Wish

After arriving at the villa and paying the taxi fare, Jiang Fan walked inside, humming a little tune.

He didn’t care what she was thinking, nor did he want to.

As soon as he entered the living room, he heard Mengmeng’s giggling laughter coming from her room.

"Mengmeng, Daddy’s home."

Jiang Fan called out.

The next second, a small figure shot out of her room.

"Daddy, Mengmeng missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

"I did, I did."

Jiang Fan scooped her up and spun her around.

"What were you doing in your room? What’s so funny?"

He reached out and tweaked her little nose.

It was then that Jiang Fan realized his daughter’s laughter might be the most healing sound in the world.

The fatigue from a long day at work vanished completely.

"I was telling Mommy about the fun things that happened at school."

"Do you want to hear, Daddy?"

"Of course! Go ahead and tell me, Mengmeng."

Just then, Yin Ruxue also walked out of the room.

"You’re home from work. Have you eaten?"

"I didn’t know you were coming, so Nanny Chen might not have saved any dinner for you."

"It’s fine. I can just whip up some noodles."

"I ate too well during the day, so I’m not that hungry anyway."

Jiang Fan gave her a knowing look.

"What, you’re already starting to solicit bribes? Be careful Li Muwan doesn’t make an example out of you."

"I couldn’t help it. My subordinates were just too enthusiastic. I had to accept a bowl of Longjiang pork trotter rice from them."

Jiang Fan shook his head with feigned helplessness.

"Making an example of me over a single bowl of Longjiang pork trotter rice would be a bit much, wouldn’t it?"

"You’ll have to take that up with Li Muwan."

As she spoke, Yin Ruxue broke into a smile, and for a moment, Jiang Fan was completely captivated.

’No wonder they call her the number one beauty.’ Her face was exquisite beyond words. When she was cold and aloof, she was like an ice goddess, making men want to conquer her.

She held a fatal attraction for men.

But when she smiled, she was just as deadly, in a completely different way.

’If I hadn’t spent some time with her already, I feel like I’d be getting a nosebleed right now.’

"Daddy, what’s Longjiang pork trotter rice?"

Mengmeng asked curiously from his arms.

"A bowl of Longjiang pork trotter rice, a taste of a man’s romance. Daddy will take you to try it tomorrow!"

"Pfft. Where do you even come up with these things?"

Yin Ruxue, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

"A bowl of Liuzhou river snail noodles, a taste of a man’s composure."

"I saw them in the comment sections while scrolling through videos."

Jiang Fan stretched lazily, carried Mengmeng over to the sofa, and sat down, letting her sit sideways on his lap.

"Tell Daddy what fun things happened at school."

"Nanny Chen, please make a bowl of noodles with shredded pork and egg."

"Right away, Miss."

Yin Ruxue gave the order, and Nanny Chen quickly got busy.

"There’s this classmate in my class. He didn’t go out to play during the holiday because his dad went to work."

"So he just stayed home alone, reading books and playing with toys."

"He didn’t come out of his room for a long time, and then he realized his mom hadn’t called him for dinner."

When he went to the living room, he found his mom hugging a strange uncle.

"And then what?"

Jiang Fan was exceptionally curious.

"This strange uncle’s last name wasn’t Wang, was it?"

Jiang Fan was a little stunned.

’Is this something a kid should see?’

"Yep! His mom told him that it was just Mr. Wang from next door, and they were just playing around."

"Then she gave him 500 yuan and told him to save it to buy yummy snacks."

"Then the little boy just stood there with the money, not moving, just staring at the two of them."

"Daddy, do you know what he said?"

"I don’t. What did he say?"

"BWAHAHAHA! He said, ’Mommy, I’m not leaving. Last time, Daddy was playing around with an aunty at home, and he gave me 1,000!’"

"???"

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened like saucers.

’I had been silently cursing the mother out, but this sudden twist...’

’Good grief. So the whole family is rotten.’

’Cheating is one thing, but they both brought their affairs home.’

’And worst of all, they both let the kid see it.’

"HAHAHAHAHA."

Seeing Mengmeng’s gleeful expression, Jiang Fan was a little speechless.

He thought she was going to tell him a funny story about her friends, but instead, he ended up getting the scoop on some drama.

"Daddy, when Mengmeng grows up, I’m going to make lots of money!"

A child’s train of thought moves fast. One second she was talking about that, and the next, she had jumped to this.

"Why is that?"

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"Because a little boy told me he has three mommies, and all three of them are really nice to him."

"But his daddy used his money to find all of them."

"When Mengmeng has money someday, I’m going to find three wives for Daddy too."

"And then I’ll make them be really nice to me, too."

"Pfft—"

Jiang Fan spat out a mouthful of water.

"You can’t say things like that."

"A man can only have one wife! Don’t listen to the nonsense other kids say."

"Besides, I already have your mom..."

Before Jiang Fan could finish, Mengmeng corrected him, "No! Mengmeng wants to make Daddy happy, too. That little boy told me he has three mommies, and his daddy is super happy."

"I want to make Daddy super, super happy too!"

Jiang Fan immediately felt Yin Ruxue’s death glare on him.

He reached out to cover Mengmeng’s mouth.

But he was a step too late.

"Mengmeng, I recall that for your homework, you still have three worksheets left to do, don’t you?"

"Go and finish them today. Right now."

Yin Ruxue’s voice came from the side, and Mengmeng’s little face fell.

"But Mommy, didn’t you say I could do them tomorrow? That I didn’t have to do them today?"

Mengmeng looked at Yin Ruxue with a wronged expression, as if blaming her for breaking her promise.

"It seems you have too much free time on your hands today. You’d better go do them."

"Go on, hurry up."

Helpless, Mengmeng turned a desperate, pleading gaze toward Jiang Fan.

But Jiang Fan just whistled and stared at the ceiling, refusing to even glance her way.

’If I say anything right now, I’ll definitely be asking for trouble!’

"Hmph, mean Daddy! Mengmeng isn’t going to find you three wives anymore!"

Hopping off Jiang Fan’s lap, Mengmeng ran back to her room to do her worksheets, grumbling all the way.

"Kids say the darndest things, kids say the darndest things. Don’t take it to heart."

"Young Master, the noodles are ready. Come and eat."

Nanny Chen’s voice rang out at just the right moment.

Jiang Fan leaped up from the sofa and fled toward the kitchen as if escaping.

Seeing him move as if he’d just seen a ghost, the corners of Yin Ruxue’s lips curled into a smile.

While they were joking and laughing, things over at Fengming Group were not going so well.
