Chi Enen clenched her fist tightly, then relaxed it, relaxed it and clenched again, finally gathering her mental strength, she took a deep breath and resigned herself to compromise, “I’ll go and cook, just wait.”
For Baby Chi, she would endure!
The kitchen door was a sliding one, after she brought in the food, she closed the door. Moving to the window, she took out her mobile phone and slid over to Qin Nan’s number. She dialed it—
“Dudu…”
The phone rang twice and was answered, “Hello, Enen?”
“Sister Nan, can you do me a favor?”
“Sure, what is it?”
“Could you pick up my son from the kindergarten?”
“Of course, send me the address of the kindergarten.”
Chi Enen hesitated a bit, embarrassed but still asked, “If possible, I would also like to ask you to look after him for one night.”
She didn’t know when Li Beijue would leave.
In case Qin Nan brought Baby Chi back tonight and encountered Li Beijue, that would be a disaster!
“Tonight? I have dinner at Brother Wang’s house tonight.”
“…Is that not possible?”
Chi Enen felt her heart sink to the bottom.
There were few people she knew in Capital City, and she was closest to Qin Nan.
She didn’t trust anyone else with her son.
After thinking it over for a moment on the other end, Qin Nan said readily, “It’s not that it’s not possible, 1’11 just bring your Baby along with me. His parents also like children, and with Jingchen’s handsome looks, they’re sure to like him!”
Chi Enen, truly out of options and immensely grateful, responded, “Thank you, Sister Nan.”
“It’s nothing, I’ll pick him up after work.”
“Alright. I’ll send you the address via WeChat, thank you.”
“OK.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
Chi Enen hung up the call and immediately sent the kindergarten address to her. She thanked Qin Nan again in WeChat and then, just in case, cleared all the messages.
After everything was sorted, she felt a weight lifted off her heart. She tucked her mobile away, put on her apron, and began cooking.
In half an hour, she had whipped up a simple Three Dishes and One Soup and served it.
The dishes were all on the lighter side.
After setting all the dishes on the table, she brought out the rice cooker from the kitchen, saying as she did so, “I’ve made Celtruce Leaf Porridge, you’ll have to make do with it.”
Li Beijue got up and pulled out a chair, sitting down at the dining table. He glanced over the overly simple dishes but did not show contempt. He picked up the chopsticks and tried a bite.
It was refreshingly clear, and most importantly, piping hot.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling quite pleased.
In the past few months, he could eat this woman’s cooking every week, but no matter how fast the airplane, by the time it reached Country Y, it was cold. Nothing could compare to the comfort of a meal just cooked and warm.
His tense jawline relaxed, and he held out his bowl to Chi Enen like the head of a household, “Serve me some rice.”
Chi Enen just wanted to quickly fill him up and send him on his way. She took the bowl, helped him to a serving, and handed it back. She also absentmindedly ladled half a bowl for herself and sat down.
The meal was eaten without tasting, as Li Beijue ate in silence, adhering to aristocratic etiquette. She had nothing she wanted to say either, quietly eating her rice.
After what seemed like an eternity of enduring until the bowl was nearly empty, an extra pair of chopsticks added more food to her bowl.
Could the lofty Master Jue actually be serving her? Chi Enen looked up in surprise, only to see the man’s handsome profile, as if the chopsticks had not been wielded by him.
“What are you looking at, eat your food.”
“Oh.”
Chi Enen bowed her head and quietly, with the food just added, finished the rice in her bowl. She put down her chopsticks and murmured, “I’m full, President Li, please take your time..”
