Chapter 239: Chapter 239: No, I don’t feel so good.
At this time.
Chi Enen came out with the food and saw the two, father and son, chatting ‘cheerfully’ in the living room. Her heart felt warm, and she called out to them, “Dinner’s ready. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
“Okay.” Chi Jingchen turned off the television, hopped off the sofa, put on his slippers with a clatter, and went to wash up. As he reached the restroom doorway, he didn’t forget to urge Li Beijue following him, “Hurry up, Uncle Li.”
The atmosphere during the meal was beyond harmonious.
It exceeded Chi Enen’s imagination.
After finishing the meal, Li Beijue had no reason to stay any longer, so he shot Chi Enen a look that could ‘devour someone’ and left, not too happily.
Chi Enen watched him enter the house across from hers and breathed a sigh of relief before closing the door with a click.
Turning back, she saw Baby Chi sitting on the sofa watching “Bears Boggle,” laughing heartily. She approached and asked tentatively, “Baby, what were you and Li… Uncle talking about just now?”
Chi Jingchen didn’t even glance up. “Nothing much. Just talked about some funny things that happened at kindergarten.”
Chi Enen took a deep breath, sat next to him, ready to talk about Li Beijue’s identity. She turned her head, thinking about how to start the conversation, “So, Baby, what do you think about Uncle Li? You two seemed to be having a great time chatting. I rarely see you hit it off like this with someone on the first meeting. It seems like you have a good impression of Uncle Li?”
Chi Jingchen still didn’t even look at her, picked up the remote from the table, and said indifferently, “Not really. Don’t think much of him.”
This answer surprised Chi Enen. “Don’t think much of him…? But you were chatting so well with him?”
“Isn’t he a guest? And he’s your colleague from work, so of course, I was courteous to him,” Chi Jingchen finished speaking, turned off the television, jumped off the sofa with a stylish wave of his hand, and didn’t look back, “Woman, I’m going to my room to do arts and crafts homework. You play by yourself for a while.”
He reached the room door and suddenly turned around, his little face serious as he warned, “And another thing, woman, don’t bring home strange men without my permission again. What if he turns out to be a robber or a murderer? You’re a woman, and you’ll have only yourself to blame if you end up crying.”
Robber and murderer…
Li Beijue robbing her…
What would he rob her of? Money? What a joke; he’d rather take a nap with that International Time.
But really, what are they teaching at that kindergarten? Bae Chi is so young, and his worldviews are already so firm?
Chi Enen was about to speak.
The bedroom door had already slammed shut.
All the heart-to-heart talk she had in mind was stifled back.
Darn, Bae Chi is too cunning. What should she do if he won’t talk to her?
With a headache, Chi Enen started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, washed them clean, and then tidied up the tea table. Only then did she return to her own room, opened the wardrobe looking for a change of clothes, and saw it filled with men’s clothing hanging arrogantly, declaring whose they were.
Chi Enen’s temple throbbed, and she suddenly remembered that Li Beijue had left some clothes at her home that day and hadn’t taken them away. If Bae Chi saw these clothes, he would surely make a big fuss.
Whew, forget it, she’d deal with it later.
Another day she would find the opportunity to talk with Bae Chi.
Overwhelmed, she squatted down, searched out a loose T-shirt of her own, closed the wardrobe again, out of sight, out of mind, and went to take a bath…
