Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Baby Chi is a Little Tycoon

However, Chi Enen hesitated a bit as such a tiny thing cost thirty thousand.

She had planned to spend just over ten thousand on a gift.

Yet, a small tie clip was going to double her budget.

She bit her lower lip, indecisive.

The saleswoman, sensing hope, persisted in her pitch, “Miss, this tie clip has other uses too, look, if you do this, it also becomes a brooch.”

Chi Enen looked down at the tie clip the saleswoman pinned on her chest, and felt awkward.

She could not imagine Li Beijue wearing a tie clip on his shirt. Such a ‘trendy’ way of wearing it was too incongruous with his noble demeanor.

She was going to reconsider the purchase, when suddenly, her gaze fell on the star necklace she was wearing around her neck.

Her movement to take off the tie clip paused.

When she looked up again, Chi Enen had already said to the saleswoman with a relaxed expression, “Thank you, I’ll take this one. Please wrap it up for me.”

“Of course, I’ll wrap it up for free right away,” the saleswoman, who hadn’t expected such a ready decision, took the tie clip from Chi Enen’s hand and walked toward the counter.

Chi Enen, holding her wallet, prepared to go to the reception to pay, when Chi Jingchen tugged at her clothes and asked in a pained whisper, “Woman, are you really going to buy this for The Neighbor Old Wang?”

“Yes, isn’t it nice-looking?”

“…” It was nice-looking, but it was too expensive!

Baby Chi was quite frugal, in his eyes, anything over ten yuan was a major expense. A gift that cost thirty thousand in one go was definitely exorbitant!

His own woman giving Old Wang such an expensive gift would make him look too stingy if he only bought a cake.

But buying clothes… that’s even more expensive!

Inside, his little brain worked furiously, and he frowned as if someone was cutting flesh from his body, almost bleeding with heartache, “Woman, let’s split the cost of the tie clip. Half from me, half from you.”

“What?” His voice was too soft, and Chi Enen genuinely didn’t hear what he had said.

Chi Jingchen, struggling to contain his pain at spending money, grumbled, “I said, that tie clip, I want to pay for half of it.”

When he offered to pay, Chi Enen was more surprised than anyone, “You want to pay?”

She knew better than anyone how frugal her Bae Chi was.

Usually, when buying drinks at the supermarket, he wouldn’t just pick his favorite but would go for a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Because he could get an extra bottle for the same price!

For such a frugal Bae Chi to be willing to spend a lot of money was inconceivable.

This simply wasn’t the Bae Chi she knew.

Her surprised and doubtful look genuinely hurt Chi Jingchen’s pride, and, most importantly, he felt bad for spending the money, so he glared back at her, annoyed and embarrassed, “Can’t I? Chi Enen, I want to pay half!”

He had a habit of calling her by her full name when he was angry.

Being addressed by her full name, Chi Enen realized she had hit a sore spot with the little guy again. However, more than ten thousand was too much for a 5-year-old. She knew Bae Chi had a precious savings book with quite a bit of money in it. He always guarded it like it was buried in a secret tunnel, and she didn’t know the exact amount. But spending over ten thousand was still too much. Chi Enen thought for a moment and then tried to strike a deal with him, “Baby, Mommy understands your intention. How about this, you contribute one thousand, okay? Then this gift will be from both you and me to your father.”

Chi Jingchen was almost agreed. But then he remembered that today was The Neighbor Old Wang’s birthday, and the tie clip wasn’t just anything—it was a Birthday Gift. He swallowed the word “okay” that was on the tip of his tongue. With hands full of attitude stuffed into his pocket, he frowned and said impatiently, “I said let’s split it, so let’s split it! Let’s just agree to that.”

Regarding money that had to be spent anyway, he was generous. At least he managed to maintain his pride as he handed a card to the store sale assistant, who was trying not to laugh, and said like a big spender, “Check out.”
