“Mhm.” Han Xiaoru knew she was Brother Jingchen’s mommy. Although her heart and eyes were filled with dragonflies at the moment, she still managed to lift her head with difficulty, answering Chi Enen’s question obediently.
Chi Enen had always wanted a daughter, and how could she not be fond of such a well-behaved Han Xiaoru? She gently touched her fluffy head again, teasing with a smile, “Jingchen will also be ready for school in the kindergarten tomorrow. Ruoruo will be able to see him again then. Is it okay for auntie to take him home tonight? Auntie has almost not seen your Brother Jingchen for two days.”
Chi Jingchen’s eyes, as sharp as those of a certain person’s, suddenly widened. What did she mean by ‘her Brother Jingchen’? He certainly wasn’t the Snot Worm’s person!
Han Xiaoru’s clear, large eyes shifted reluctantly from the stern-faced Chi Jingchen to the gentle Chi Enen, her little face filled with conflict as she clung tightly to her fingers.
What to do? She didn’t want to be separated from Brother Jingchen, but Brother Jingchen’s mother hadn’t seen him for a long time either…
She was only a five-year-old child who had never faced such a choice. In the blink of an eye, she became so anxious that she was sweating profusely, blinking rapidly. Despite her reluctance, she still nodded her head and said softly, “Okay, auntie can take Brother Jingchen home. Ruoruo will see Brother Jingchen tomorrow.”
After speaking, she immediately asked without reserve, “Auntie, can I call Brother Jingchen tonight?”
Han Qifeng, his left hand on his forehead, couldn’t help but laugh and picked up the little guy, teasing her, “You haven’t seen your father for over a day. Are you sure you will ignore me tonight to call your Brother Jingchen?”
Han Xiaoru came up with a brilliant idea, “I can look at Daddy while I talk to Brother Jingchen on the phone.”
Chi Jingchen really wanted to reply that he wasn’t going to answer the phone at all.
But out of consideration for Han Qifeng’s presence, he restrained his frustration!
He silently added this embarrassing debt to the clueless Han Xiaoru’s account, planning how to deal with her tomorrow, to make sure she wouldn’t spout any words like she liked him in front of adults again.
Han Qifeng tapped her forehead gently, kindly refusing, “No, tonight you need to keep your father company. Brother Jingchen will be with Aunt Enen.”
Han Xiaoru wasn’t scared of him at all. She puckered her small mouth, ready to retort, but Han Qifeng had already cut her off, “All right, we should also be going back. If you keep fussing, I’ll call the kindergarten and ask for a leave for you tomorrow.”
“I won’t fuss.” Han Xiaoru was quicker to compromise than anyone else, with an expression that seemed fearful of not being allowed to go to kindergarten.
His five-year-old daughter’s heart was already swayed and without any reserve. Han Qifeng felt momentarily helpless and shook his head with a sigh at Chi Enen, saying with a smile, “Miss Chi, Jingchen, she’s caught a bit of a cold. 1 should take her home. Goodbye.”
Han Qifeng carrying Han Xiaoru walked away…
Chi Enen stood up again, took the little guy’s hand with a smile, saying, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Chi Jingchen’s small hand clasped onto her larger hand, and looking at her sideways, he suddenly asked, “Woman, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did something nice happen? Did you get a raise?”
Chi Enen was caught off guard by the question and responded evasively, “…No. When was I in a good mood?”
Chi Jingchen noticed her slightly red ears and a glint in her eyes, completely disbelieving her tall tale. But, being clever, he didn’t press on; instead, he began to ponder what could have happened during the day that he was away to make his family’s woman so cheerful..
