Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Woman, I Was Wrong
Han Qifeng massaged his temple, knowing that there was no way he could continue with the meal tonight, and said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, “Xiaoruo ate so little, I don’t feel reassured about her. How about this, you guys keep eating, and I’ll take her to the Hospital paediatrics for a medical checkup.”
His reasoning took everyone’s feelings into account, including Xu Lulu’s.
As soon as Han Qifeng and Han Xiaoru left, she also found an excuse to leave.
In the blink of an eye, the lively house was left only with Chi Enen and Chi Jingchen.
The food on the dining table had hardly been touched. Chi Enen stood up without even glancing at the uneasy little guy and began to clear away the food with an indifferent air.
“Woman…”
She didn’t hear it!
Chi Enen picked up the braised spare ribs and placed them in the kitchen.
When she came out again, Chi Jingchen was still standing there alone in big slippers, weakly calling out to her again, “Mommy…”
Baby Chi seldom called her Mommy, let alone in such a distressed manner. Chi Enen’s heart softened, and she almost responded to him. But when she recalled the series of things he had done that day, she steeled herself, determined to discipline him properly this time!
Chi Enen ignored him twice in a row, making Chi Jingchen anxious. His beautiful eyes turned red, but he fought back the tears, clutched his pants tightly, and when Chi Enen came out again, he could no longer hold it in. With his little face flushed red, he rushed to admit his mistake, “Woman, I was wrong.”
This time Chi Enen stopped, holding a bowl, and glanced at him with feigned indifference, “Oh? What did you do wrong?”
“I… I shouldn’t have invited Uncle Han and Teacher Loulou over to our house…”
Chi Enen asked him seriously, “Then why did you invite them over to our house?”
Chi Jingchen lowered his head, stuttering, “I… I know that Uncle Li next door likes you. I saw it—the time he was driving and dropped you off downstairs.”
When had Li Beijue ever driven and dropped her off downstairs?
A flicker of confusion crossed Chi Enen’s face.
“I think Uncle Li is not suitable for you…”
“So? So you took it upon yourself to invite Han Qifeng over?”
Chi Jingchen uttered a ‘mm-hmm’ sound.
Chi Enen really wanted to take off his pants and spank his bottom hard! She placed the bowl and chopsticks back on the dining table and asked the question that had been puzzling her all evening, “I understand why you called Han Qifeng here, but why did you call your teacher Loulou too?”
Chi Jingchen quickly looked up, then looked down swiftly, and said in a tiny voice, “I wanted to introduce Teacher Loulou to Uncle Li, so that it would completely resolve any worries for the future.”
Worries for the future! Chi Enen was thoroughly amused by him, took a deep breath to suppress the urge to spank him, her expression softened, and she knelt down, placing her hands on his shoulders, looking straight into his eyes. She said softly, “Bae Chi, I remember telling you last time that you can’t just do things as you please. You have your thoughts, but you can’t make decisions for Mommy just because you think something is good or bad. This is Mommy’s matter, and Mommy has her own thoughts, too.”
Chi Jingchen realized his mistake this time and didn’t raise his chin defiantly like before. He hung his head low, looking like a defeated little rooster, “Woman, I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again in the future.”
“Then tell me, do you really not like Uncle Li?”
