Chapter 489: That’s Also a Money-loving, Stingy Little Genius

“Yeah, wait for me just a second, woman; I’ll just finish painting the sun.” He released Chi Enen’s hand and raced to the drawing board, expertly picking out the yellow paint from the array of children’s paints. With a water pen, he dabbed a bit of paint and brushed it onto the board, and a round sun popped into existence on the paper.

Chi Enen had never thought he had artistic talent; she bent over in surprise and drew close to him, her bright eyes gleaming, “Baby, how about I send you to learn painting?”

You never know, maybe her Baby Chi could become a world-famous painter.

Chi Jingchen furrowed his little brows, turned his head, and unexpectedly refused, “No, I don’t want to learn painting.”

“Don’t you like painting? I think you paint really well,” Chi Enen said, puzzled.

Being praised by his own woman, Chi Jingchen wanted to be proud but was too cool for that. He put down the paintbrush and calmly said, “I don’t like it. I was just casually learning from Uncle Huo, so I could be good friends with him.”

The fact that he could paint like this on a whim further proved his talent, but Chi Enen couldn’t bear the thought of him wasting such a gift. She hesitated before asking, “What do you like, then?”

“Numbers.” Chi Jingchen hopped down from the stool with ease, his small, lovely face already hinting at some of Beijue’s features, carrying an air of composure and strength, “I like numbers.”

Especially the numbers on money.

“Numbers?”

Baby Chi looked at her bewildered expression and, in an almost exasperated tone, said, “Like, money.”

“…”

“Woman, when I grow up, I’m going to make lots of money, even more than The Neighbor Old Wang. Then, I’ll buy you anything you want.” He was just five years old, a little bean, but his earnest promise made him seem beyond his years.

Chi Enen seriously doubted Baby Chi had become so obsessed with money because he was scared of being poor after following her around. But she didn’t know how to correct it, her eyes wrestling with the dilemma as she squatted in front of him, “But I don’t spend that much money…”

“How can you not spend much? Look, you women need money to buy clothes, to buy accessories, face creams, bags, even drinking water with friends costs money…” Women are really so troublesome, “There are so many ways to spend money, and who knows, when you’re old, you might even have to go to the Hospital for a facelift. Liang Qing said his mother frequently goes to the Hospital for… what’s it called… ah… facelifts.”

“Facelifts cost a fortune, and with Old Wang next door being so handsome, you’ll probably need to get them often. I have to save up for you.”

Chi Enen was left speechless, seeing him furrow his brows even more, not forgetting to glance at her chest with utter disdain, “And your chest, so small, we’ll definitely need to buy milk powder for a younger sister.”

What on earth did Old Wang see in his woman?

Of course, he thought his woman was the best, incomparable to others, but there were too few people with such discernment. Old Wang managed to spot his woman, the pearl wrapped in sand, among a group of unattractive women.

Looks like The Neighbor Old Wang’s taste isn’t so bad after all.

Chi Enen, incensed by his criticism, pinched his little face, “Don’t worry yourself, I’m not getting a facelift! Baby Chi, you think about so much all day long that you might not grow tall. I’m worried that if you keep this up, Xiaoruo is really going to be a head taller than you. Then she’ll surely mock you mercilessly.”

Not growing tall was Baby Chi’s Achilles’ heel, a sure trigger for his temper.

As expected…

He sprang up at once, “Impossible, I will definitely grow tall.”

At this time, the Study Room door opened—
