He remembered this man; last time, he had seen him through binoculars on the balcony!
At that time, he had even asked the woman of his family.
The woman of his house had adamantly denied dating this man, insisting it was just a friend of a friend who had dropped her off! He was indeed too young and had believed the womanâs words. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If it really were just a friend of a friend, how could he have been allowed into her house?
Whatâs more, without his permission, he had worn his beloved slippers! Even more importantly, he smelled that same wild manâs scent on this man that he had last smelled at home!
Chi Enen had no idea that in his little mind, he had already gone through a hundred turns and from the first meeting had categorized Li Beijue as an enemy. She was still thinking about how to make the father and son get along harmoniously and gradually build a relationship. So, when Baby Chi asked, she immediately went along with it, âAh, yes, this uncle is Mommyâs colleague. Heâs moved in right across from our home, and if Baby needs anything, he can ask the uncle.â
âOh, so heâs the uncle from across the street.â Baby Chiâs tone was loaded with meaning. He cocked his head, looking cute but actually hiding animosity as he greeted, âHello, uncle, my name is Chi Jingchen, and I am 5 years old this year.â
Li Beijue looked deeply at him, as if to engrave him into his marrow, his voice husky, his thin lips curling up, âHello, my last name is Li.â
âHello, Uncle Li.â He looks like a Wang to me! The Neighbor Old Wang! The Neighbor Old Wang whoâs after the woman of our house! Chi Jingchen grumbled in his heart, yet his face remained impassive.
Though he was only 5 years old, in terms of being scheming, he was far beyond his years. Otherwise, he wouldnât have been able to devise such a meticulous plan to trick Chi Enen into going on a date with Han Qifeng.
After greeting, he placed his backpack on the sofa and urged Chi Enen, âMo⦠Mommy. Iâm hungry.â
Chi Enen, seeing that their first meeting seemed harmonious, relaxed a great deal and said with a smile, âOkay, Iâll go and start cooking. Why donât you and Uncle Li watch television for a while?â
âSure.â Chi Jingchen agreed briskly. After agreeing, he didnât forget to ask Li Beijue, âUncle Li, can you watch âBoonie Bearsâ with me?â
ââ¦Okay.â
If Si Chen were here, he would be so surprised that his chin would drop! He knew Lord Li as someone who only watched finance news or the stock market, or at the very least, some political news. He couldnât have imagined, even if he racked his brain, that there would come a day when Li Beijue would watch âBoonie Bearsâ!
Baby Chi didnât care what this wild man usually watched; he hurriedly stepped in his big slippers and put the video tape of Boonie Bears into the player, turning up the volume. He took a seat on the sofa and, turning his head back, patted the seat beside him, calling the man over, âUncle Li, come sit.â
Li Beijue sat down beside him.
Next to him, the little dumpling was soft and cuddly, his heart softened considerably by Boonie Bears, and his usually stiff demeanor softened as well.
Chi Jingchen watched Boonie Bears intently, seemingly mesmerized. Suddenly, without turning his head, he asked, âUncle Li, are you and my mommy colleagues?â
âYes.â
Strictly speaking, he and Chi Enen were indeed colleagues.
Chi Jingchen turned his face towards him, a sly twinkle in his red phoenix eyes as he blinked, then spoke politely, âOh, last time my mommy bought a desk, thank you for helping us bring it home.â
Li Beijue furrowed his brows slightly, finally recalling what desk he was referring to, and nodded, his thin lips briefly meeting, âIt was my pleasure.â
Chi Jingchen immediately knew the score.
His householdâs woman had indeed lied; the desk at home wasnât one from a company annual meeting raffle.
Given his knowledge of his familyâs woman, she wouldnât have gone out of her way to buy a brand desk.. So it seems, both the desk and the silk four-pieces set on the bed were gifts from this Uncle Li, right?
