Chapter 200: Rejecting Han Qifeng’s Invitation
Translator: 549690339
“Hey, Woman, can you hear me? Why did you suddenly go quiet?”
Chi Enen immediately snapped back to the moment, “I can hear you, my mobile phone just had a little glitch.”
“Is it really the signal? Why do I feel like you’re acting strange today?” Bae Chi doubted, then had a sudden realization and explained, “Last night I didn’t mean to not call you, it was just that the signal at our outing location was terrible, I couldn’t make phone calls or go online. 1 know you must have missed me, and I missed you too. Okay, don’t be angry anymore.”
Chi Enen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, feeling like she was being coddled like a child.
Feeling much more relaxed, she lifted the corners of her mouth and said softly, “I understand, I’m not angry at you anymore, remember to call me whenever you go somewhere next time, okay?”
“Okay okay, I’ll remember, it’s not like I did it on purpose last night. Women are just troublesome.”
“Pfft, you’re still so young, and you’re already saying that women are troublesome.” After finishing, Chi Enen didn’t give him a chance to argue back and quickly said, “Bae Chi, wait for me at the kindergarten, I’ll come to pick you up right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Chi Enen called Qin Nan to tell her that she had found Bae Chi, who had indeed been taken ‘away’ by his father, and that she had misunderstood because she was too anxious. After Qin Nan confirmed several times, she finally put her mind at ease.
Having sorted things out with Qin Nan, she took a taxi to Baby Chi’s Kindergarten.
Since the community was not far from the kindergarten, she quickly arrived there and, after paying the taxi driver his fare, she hurried with her bag toward the kindergarten.
Just as she reached the kindergarten’s doorway, she ran into Han Qifeng with Ruoruo and her own son.
Han Xiaoru still had her round-faced appearance, trotting along side by side with Bae Chi, exceedingly well-behaved, resembling a charming yet aggrieved daughter-in-law. She was the first to spot Chi Enen and sweetly called out, “Auntie.”
Seeing Chi Enen arrive, her own son’s beautiful little face brightened a tiny bit, but only for a moment before returning to his aloofness. Letting go of Han Xiaoru’s hand, he walked towards her. Upon reaching Chi Enen’s side, he turned to Han Qifeng, the perfect little gentleman, and said, “Uncle Han, Mommy has come to pick me up, so I won’t be going with you guys. Thank you for just now, Uncle Han.”
With a warm smile, Han Qifeng provided an explanation to Chi Enen, “I came to pick up Xiaoruo and saw Jingchen waiting alone, it looked rather lonely. So I thought I’d drop him off at home, but then we ran into you.”
It’s not right to rebuff someone’s friendly gesture, and since he had kindly helped her son, Chi Enen responded with a grateful smile and said sincerely, “Thank you, Mr. Han. I just got off work, so I was a bit late.”
“Just in time, I don’t have a late shift today either. Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t we all have dinner together?”
His invitation was neither abrupt nor sycophantic, hitting just the right note, and it felt as natural as if he were inviting a long-time friend, which made one feel particularly comfortable.
Chi Enen hadn’t forgotten about the matter she had promised Li Beijue.
If she had already decided to open her heart and embrace one person, she couldn’t afford to accept another, even if Han Qifeng hadn’t made it clear, she wasn’t foolish and could discern his intentions.
She didn’t reject him at the Amusement Park before because the date was orchestrated by her Bae Chi, and she didn’t have the heart to leave them hanging. This time, there was no reason for her not to refuse.
She smiled slightly and tactfully declined, “Mr. Han, you should enjoy your dinner with your daughter. It wouldn’t be right for Jingchen and me to intrude, so we won’t join.”
ps: I highly recommend my new work “Rebirth of the Divine Doctor: Chief, Lend Me a Kiss!” In her previous life, she was wild and rebellious, wanting nothing more than to divorce him, until he died for her, and she finally came to her senses. Having been reborn, she’s determined to make up for all the kisses and affection she owes him from their previous life..
