Kidnapping a Daddy as a Gift for Mommy

81. Keep her distance.

I've got no classes today, so I decided to give an update because I'm too happy!

Xia Xingcheng did not notice Sheng Yeting's gaze. She had been looking out of the window all along. Hearing what Sheng Yeting said, she felt it was a little strange.

‘According to Sheng Yeting, they were childhood sweethearts. So why would he ask me for a fake marriage when he always had such a nice woman around?’

But Xia Xingcheng could never ask this question out loud. She could only pretend she didn’t hear it and continued to look at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Her response made Bao anxious. The questions he asked were actually for his mommy, but his mommy did not engage.

Bao had no courage to continue his questions. So he could only look at his daddy, then mommy, feeling more and more confused.

He felt that mommy and daddy were acting weird today since that strange woman appeared.

After a while, they arrived home. After seeing Chen Ma, Bao forgot about the unpleasantness today and ran straight to Chen Ma to play.

Xia Xingcheng suddenly felt tired, as she was about to go upstairs, she saw Sheng Yeting standing there, so she said: "Thank you for taking me shopping. I'm going to have a rest now."

Aware of the alienation in her voice, Sheng Yeting's eyebrows crinkled almost undetectably. He wanted to reason with her, but he did not expect that she would turn around and go straight upstairs without even looking at him once.

Sheng Yeting had never taken a woman out with him before, let alone shopping and buying a gown as he did today. He had said nothing about it. And she was giving him the attitude?

Sheng Yeting was irritated for no reason. He did not want to see Xia Xingcheng’s face and went to his study directly.

An unhappy parting.

Sheng Yeting had no idea that since Liang Fengyue appeared, Xia Xingcheng had prepared herself for leaving at any time. Because she knew that some people were not destined to belong to her.

So it’s not a bad thing for her to keep her distance as soon as possible.

The beaten she took from Xu Hao already made her no longer believe in love and men.

At a cafe.

The antique decoration was complemented with traditional music which made the environment of this cafe especially pleasant and relaxing.

But to the woman sitting there, they were just complimentary.

When Jiang Xiyun arrived, the first thing he saw was Liang Fengyue's beautiful profile.

Under the lamplight, her face was glowing, her smile and frown seemed to be revealing her inherent charm. The way she was swirling the coffee cup, added an enchanting feeling to her.

These were all the reasons why Jiang Xiyun could not help but be drawn to her.

Slowly walking to Liang Fengyue, Jiang Xiyun kept himself calm deliberately, and greeted her like he was being casual: "Fengyue, you are back."

But the smile and joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Xiyun, long time no see."

Liang Fengyue stopped what she was doing and smiled. She saw the expressions Jiang Xiyun tried to conceal, and fluorescent light was flowing in her eyes.

Every time Jiang Xiyun saw Liang Fengyue smiling at him, he had a feeling of ecstasy, and this time was no exception.

They'd been friends with Sheng Yeting since childhood, they all grew up together. So even after a few years apart, they got familiar with each other pretty soon after a few pleasantries.

Looking at Liang Fengyue's beautiful and exquisite face, Jiang Xiyun could not help but compliment her: "Fengyue, I haven't seen you in a couple of years, you are more and more beautiful now. I almost didn't recognize you.”

Being praised by Jiang Xiyun, Liang Fengyue blushed unconsciously. She joked with laughing: "Xiyun, you are not bad yourself. There must be a lot of women chasing you."

Seeing Jiang Xiyun laughing noncommittally, Liang Fengyue didn't get to the bottom of it but changed the topic: "Xiyun, you're right. I haven't been back for the last few years, it has really changed a lot. There was a woman with Sheng Yeting, called Xia Xingcheng. I didn't even know her existence. Do you know her?”

Jiang Xiyun finally realized that Liang Fengyue was using this, having tea with him, as an excuse, what she really wanted was to snoop.

It all came down to Sheng Yeting.

Disappointment appeared in his eyes for an instant, but he soon covered it up, pretended to be calm and said: "Xia Xingcheng... I do know her. What?"

Liang Fengyue was surprised and asked immediately: "What is their relationship, do you know?"

Jiang Xiyun already anticipated Liang Fengyue's question and was prepared for it. He looked at the eager woman in front of her with a wry smile deliberately: "I might tell you if you… promise me one thing.”

Liang Fengyue had nothing in mind but that answer, she didn't care about anything else. So she immediately promised, "Don't worry, Xiyun. I promise you as long as it's in my power."

Jiang Xiyun pouted helplessly. "Look at your expression, I won’t eat you. You just have to buy me dinner."

Liang Fengyue promised him immediately and looked at Jiang Xiyun so eagerly to know the answer.

"Well, I'll tell you." Jiang Xiyun chuckled. "You seem like you've already seen them. What did he tell you?"

Whom he referred to was Sheng Yeting, of course. Thinking of what she saw today, Liang Fengyue told Jiang Xiyun exactly what happened.

Hearing what Liang Fengyue said, Jiang Xiyun was in doubt. A distant relative? Sheng Yeting said that?

Jiang Xiyun thought about it for a moment and decided that maybe Sheng Yeting didn't want to tell Liang Fengyue just now.

"Xiyun. Is Xia Xingcheng really a distant relative of Sheng Yeting’s?

Why don't I know of her?" Seeing Jiang Xiyun was staring blank. Liang Fengyue could not help but ask.

"Well, she is a distant relative. The sheng family is big, has a lot of relatives of course. Don't think too much of it." Jiang Xiyun went on with her.

He had no choice. Now even he was not sure what Sheng Yeting was thinking. So all he could do was to tell a white lie.

After hearing this, Liang Fengyue was relieved obviously. "I see. So it's true."

Seeing her expression, Jiang Xiyun suddenly felt a little bitter, bitterer than the coffee he was drinking.

But his drooping eyelids hid it all so well that Liang Fengyue didn't even notice it.

Since that day they went shopping together, Sheng Yeting seemed to be very busy and was gone almost every day. So the weekend passed, Xia Xingcheng had not seen Sheng Yeting at all.
