Chapter 2608 - 2544: Do You Have Someone You Like?

Jiang Shiheng laughed again.

"Alright, alright, however you want, go with your own nature. Daddy won’t restrain you."

For Lu Shuangshuang and the Lu Family members, the best way was to indulge Chiang Xiao, otherwise, if they ever did anything to her, that would be the time he would completely fall out with them.

After all, wasn’t Chiang Xiao his life, his treasure?

Ever since coming to D State, he had been missing her terribly.

Sometimes Jiang Shiheng also found it quite incredible.

Why did he love a child born to a woman he didn’t know so much?

Moreover, it was a kind of love and fondness that he couldn’t control. Whenever he thought of Chiang Xiao, he felt his heart warm, filled with great happiness.

Having this daughter felt like his biggest treasure in the world.

"You said it yourself then."

Upon saying this, Chiang Xiao also thought about her real origin, something she hadn’t yet shared with Jiang Shiheng. "Dad, do you remember anything else from that year?"

She hesitated for a moment, paused, and then brought herself to ask. "I mean, Dad, did you like anyone else besides Lu Shuangshuang back then?"

Jiang Shiheng paused, "Why ask like this?"

"I think, with Dad’s good qualities, there were surely many wealthy and prestigious women around you back then. Surely, there would have been someone better than Lu Shuangshuang. So, did Dad not fancy anyone back then?"

Hearing her question, an inexplicable emotion arose in Jiang Shiheng’s heart.

He truly couldn’t remember any other woman, yet, inexplicably, he couldn’t bring himself to say, "I didn’t like anyone."

It felt like saying it would be a betrayal to someone.

So, he remained silent for the moment.

Upon hearing his silence, Chiang Xiao became intrigued.

"Dad, could there really have been someone?"

Jiang Shiheng smiled wryly, "Little, I honestly don’t know. I can’t remember anything now, so I can’t tell you whether there was or wasn’t."

"So there might have been?" Holding the iron box in her hand, Chiang Xiao asked, "Dad, you remember having Cheng Cheng tidy up a little house by the sea, right?"

Jiang Shiheng froze for a moment, "Ah Cheng mentioned this to you?"

"Yep."

"Looks like you siblings have a good relationship." Jiang Shiheng smiled with some relief. "I just suddenly remembered that place, so I casually mentioned it to him, asking him to find time to tidy it up just in case."

"That little house, Dad, you used to stay over occasionally, right?"

"In fact, I can’t remember anything else, but Dad was a bit rebellious as a child. Your great-grandfather required Dad to be home by nine every night, not allowing me to go anywhere, so I bought that little house, sometimes deliberately delaying over on the other shore until the docks were closed, saying I couldn’t go back when actually staying there."

Saying this, Jiang Shiheng also found it a bit strange because, honestly, there wasn’t much necessity.

For just one night, staying at an inn across the shore would have been more convenient, but buying that little house just for occasional stays—what was the point?

But he really couldn’t remember anything else.

Chiang Xiao just said it out.

"Dad, I asked Cheng Cheng to give me that little house. Is there any problem with that?"

"You want it? If you want it, take it. Everything Dad has is yours."
