Chi Enen really didnât know what to do. What could she do?
Her mind was a complete blank, her ears buzzing nonstop as she murmured, âI donât know eitherâ¦â
âWhy donât you have it out with Young Master Li, just tell him you know.â Lin Anxin suggested.
Chi Enen shook her head, then realized she was on the phone and not having a face-to-face conversation, and said softly, âIf I ask him, his first reaction will definitely be to have someone keep tabs on me, rather than give me an explanation.â
âDamn! Thatâs so overbearing?â Lin Anxin was conflicted, âThen what do we do?â
âI donât knowâ¦â Chi Enen really didnât know, her mind was in too much turmoil, to the point where she couldnât think of anything.
She had never imagined that one day Li Beijue would be intimate with another woman.
And she had never expected that day would come so soon, so suddenly.
So suddenly that she was caught off guard.
What Lin Anxin said to comfort her afterwards didnât register at all in Chi Enenâs mind, flooded as it was with the images of the big screen news Looping in her head.
She absentmindedly put down the mobile phone and walked back to the Living room.
In the Living room, Baby Chi was carefree, hugging an oversized Strawberry Milkshake and enjoying it immensely. Seeing her, he called out enthusiastically, âWoman, Uncle Huo said this is made from strawberries we picked. Itâs so delicious, come have some.â
âI donât feel like eatingâ¦â She had no appetite right now.
Baby Chi was naturally sensitive and sensed that something was off with her face, so he worriedly set down his beloved milkshake, hopped off the chair, stood on tiptoe, hugged her waist, and looked up at her with his cherubic voice saying, âWoman, whatâs wrong? Are you feeling bad?â
âNo.â
âYou look so ugly when you smile; there must be something!â he huffed angrily, âDid The Neighbor Old Wang bully you again?â
They had just taken a family photo, and in the blink of an eye, The Neighbor Old Wang had bullied his Mommy. That was too mean!
Chi Enen finally looked at him, pinched his puffed face, and bent down to reassure him, âNo, he went upstairs to get busy. Iâm just tired from playing too much this afternoon, and I donât feel like eating ice cream.â
âOhâ¦â Chi Jingchen didnât quite believe her, but still went along with what she said, âThen Iâll pour you a glass of water, okay?â
With that, he let go of Chi Enenâs hand and ran off to get water.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soon after, he returned with a steady trot, holding a water cup, âWoman, hereâs your water.â
Chi Enen, fearing he might fall, quickly took the cup. Under his expectant gaze, she reluctantly took a sip.
âHowâs it? Feel a bit cooler now?â
âYeah, a lot cooler, thanks, my little baby.â
Chi Jingchen blushed with embarrassment at the praise, turned his head away, and grumbled, âIâm a man, taking care of a woman is what Iâm supposed to do.â
âPfft.â A man indeed, he wasnât even over one and a half meters tall.
Mocked by his own Mommy, Chi Jingchen stamped his foot and shouted indignantly, âI am a man, Chi Enen, do you have a problem with that?â
This sort of pint-sized threat was all too similar to a certain person.
Thinking of Li Beijue, her eyes dimmed again, and the mood that had just improved was once again shackled with heaviness.
Seeing her wilt again, Chi Jingchen pursed his small mouth, thought for a moment, then walked over, grabbed her hand, and dragged her toward the sofa, âUncle Huo said thereâs a video tape of Boonie Bears in the living room. Woman, letâs watch Boonie Bears together. Every time Iâm feeling down, watching it lifts my spirits.â
He settled Chi Enen on the sofa, then dashed to the front, catered to her every need, âHow many episodes do you want to watch? Itâs your call today.â
âAnything is fine.â
