Chapter 136: Who is the Man Downstairs Sending You Home?!

Chi Enen had just changed into her slippers when the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.
Chi Jingchen, wearing oversized adult men’s slippers completely unsuitable for his age, stood with his arms crossed, gazing at her intently. His small phoenixshaped eyes, exactly like a certain person’s, scrutinized her as if she were a criminal.
“Woman, why did you switch off your mobile phone?”
“…It ran out of battery.” Chi Enen frowned and poked his forehead, reprimanding, “Baby Chi, how many times have I told you? You should call me Mommy, not keep calling me ‘woman’ all the time.”
Damn it! Her barely established imposing image was punctured in an instant. Chi Jingchen glared at her furiously, hating that he was only a tiny bit taller at the moment. If he were 1.8 meters tall, he’d like to see how Chi Enen could poke his head then!
He puffed up his tender lips, looking aggrieved as he interrogated, “Why did you come home so late tonight? Also, who was that man downstairs?”
“What man?” Now that she was home, the sticky feeling on her body was even more apparent, and Chi Enen couldn’t wait to change her clothes and take a bath. So she didn’t really listen to what he was saying and lowered her head without lifting it again as she put down her bag.
“The one downstairs! The man who brought you home! The one with the Volkswagen!”
She continued without looking up, “Ah, that was…”
She almost blurted out ‘driver’, but her quick reflexes allowed her to change her answer to, “a friend.”
“Friend? What kind of friend? Do I know them? How old are they? Have you figured out their family situation?” He fired off questions like a machine gun, as if conducting a household registration.
Chi Enen felt a headache coming on. Why would she bother to find out about the family situation of her hidden marriage husband’s driver’s friend? But she also couldn’t tell the truth to her own child. If Baby Chi found out she had gone to register a marriage certificate with a man she had never even met just to get him a household registration, he would surely turn the world upside down. Given the kid’s precocious nature, he might even run away from home.
Chi Enen weighed the pros and cons and quickly fobbed him off, “Just an ordinary friend, why would I know so much about him? Alright, I’m tired, I’ll go take a bath first. Did you eat yet?”
Chi Jingchen’s sharp eyes caught the redness of her ear tips. Whenever Chi Enen lied, her ear tips would turn red! Her red ear tips meant she was lying.
Looking further down, trouble was brewing. His little phoenix eyes caught a glimpse of a red mark on the back of her neck, and his eyes widened instantly! Just as he was about to explode in anger, he remembered the dismissive way she had treated him, and he forcefully swallowed the questions that were about to burst out, “I’ve eaten. Go take a bath.”
“Then I’ll go bathe first.” She felt somewhat guilty for coming home so late today and added, “You can start ‘Bears Boggle’, and Mommy will come out and watch it with you after the bath.”
Chi Jingchen was preoccupied with his thoughts and had no desire to watch the animated film. He waved his hand impatiently, “I got it, you go.”
Chi Enen took it as him throwing a little tantrum and went in to bathe.
As soon as she was in, the barely towering Chi Jingchen quickly rummaged through the toy box to pull out a sophisticated telescope and ran to the balcony, standing on his tiptoes to look down.
This telescope was a birthday gift from Aunt Lin, capable of seeing far and clearly, only it was a bit heavy.
Struggling to hold the binoculars to his eyes, sure enough, he saw the silver Volkswagen. So much time had passed, and that man was still there…
Baby Chi was in an exceedingly bad mood, so he hopped off the stool. With a twirl of his eye, he ran to his room, found his little mobile phone, and dialed a number.
