Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Call him

“Children won’t grow tall if they’re hungry. I remember Xiaoruo seems to have grown a head taller than you, hasn’t she?”

That statement hit like the atomic bomb on Hiroshima,

and blasted away all of Chi Jingchen’s resistance.

He pursed his small mouth, concededly admitting that he would eat first, “Okay then.”

Chi Enen got up and went to the kitchen to prepare his steak first, then served it to him before returning to sit down with the plate of still steaming boiled shrimp in front of her and started peeling the shrimp shells for him.

Chi Jingchen had grown up overseas and was perfectly versed in Western dining etiquette.

Even though he was still so young and the knife and fork were a bit too large for him, his small frame would sit up straight as an arrow, elegantly and perfectly slicing the steak just like a little prince from the Medieval times, his movements precisely correct.

After finishing his steak, he took a sip of lemonade before speaking with Chi Enen, “Woman, why hasn’t Old Wang come back yet?”

“He might be tied up with work at the company. He said he would be back this evening.” Chi Enen pushed the peeled shrimp in front of him, “Here, this is ready to eat.”

His smile instantly bloomed, joy bending the phoenix-shaped eyes he shared with Li Beijue, and he started digging into the shrimp. When eating Chinese food, he did not bother with etiquette nor refrained from speaking while eating. With his mouth full of shrimp meat, he buzzed, “But it’s already evening. Old Wang next door isn’t going to stand you up, is he?”

Chi Enen hadn’t considered that Li Beijue would stand her up, and was caught off guard by the question, “I don’t think so, Baby Chi, don’t overthink with that little head of yours all day long. Filling it with too much stuff will make you dumb!”

“You’re the dumb one!”

The attention of a child is indeed easily diverted, especially when you have figured out the temperaments of the pair, big and small. For Chi Enen, diverting their attention was as easy as flipping a hand.

Anything that could hurt their pride was sure to divert their attention.

Because both men were arrogant, domineering, and did not brook any challenge to their characters!

After cajoling Baby Chi into finishing his dinner, Chi Enen watched television with him for a while. At half-past ten, as Baby Chi’s little head started to nod off, Chi Enen couldn’t bear to watch anymore and picked him up to take him to the bedroom.

“Woman, has Old Wang next door not come back yet?” Chi Jingchen yawned while lying on her, his eyelids fighting to stay open.

Chi Enen glanced at the dark entryway, hummed a response, and whispered gently, “You go to sleep first. I’ll wake you when he comes.”

“Don’t forget to wake me…” His eyelids were almost glued shut, but he still made sure to remind her.

Chi Enen chuckled softly as she laid him on the bed and pinched his little nose, “You little worrier.”

Then she bent down and kissed his forehead, “Good night, Baby.”

“Chi Enen, remember to wake me…” Chi Jingchen hadn’t forgotten about this, murmuring as a reminder.

With one hand on the light switch, Chi Enen responded, “I know, have a peaceful sleep. Good night.”

The bedroom light turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness.

She tiptoed out of the room, taking care to gently close the room door behind her.

Back in the living room, she settled on the sofa to continue waiting.

The wait stretched on until 11 o’clock. There was still no movement at the entrance.

If Li Beijue didn’t return soon, the day would be over, and all the gifts she had prepared, as well as the steak dinner, would lose their meaning. Unable to sit still any longer, Chi Enen took out her mobile phone and dialed someone’s number—
