Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: This Man’s Subtle Thoughtfulness

In the restaurant on the first floor, Chi Jingchen was fretting and chasing after Huo Yi with his little short legs, “Uncle Huo, why hasn’t my woman come down yet? I want to go up and check on her.”

Huo Yi always patiently persuaded him, “Little Young Master, Master Jue has ordered that no one is allowed upstairs. Please wait a bit longer; Miss Chi should be coming down soon. Just now, Master Jue sent up some honey water for her.”

“But I didn’t see my woman coming down,” Chi Jingchen expressed his dissatisfaction in a whiny tone. “And about that cup of honey water, why does The Neighbor Old Wang insist on waiting for the boiling water to cool before mixing it with honey? He’s been waiting for forty minutes; he could have quickly prepared it and called the woman down for lunch!”

“Honey’s cell structure easily breaks down, and using hot water to dissolve it would destroy the nutritional structure of honey, making it as if it wasn’t consumed at all.”

Chi Jingchen was only five years old and, no matter how smart, he didn’t understand biological structures. Huo Yi’s complicated explanation meant just one thing to him: honey should not be mixed with hot water. Not understanding, he opened his big eyes wide, “Then why not use cold water? Cold water can also quickly dissolve it, right? Isn’t it the same to quickly prepare it with cold water and then give it to the woman to drink?”

“This…” Huo Yi was stumped by the question, then he said, “Perhaps Miss Chi hasn’t been feeling well these past few days with a poor appetite, and Master Jue is probably worried that drinking cold water might hurt Miss Chi’s stomach.”

Chi Jingchen pursed his lips and stopped talking.

His woman indeed had not been feeling well since yesterday, seemingly lacking energy, and it really worried him.

But the detestable Old Wang next door wouldn’t let him go upstairs to find Chi Enen. He wasn’t allowed upstairs, and even the maids weren’t permitted to go up and clean.

Chi Jingchen was still worried that his woman was being bullied. He had just hopped off his stool and was preparing to look for a chance to slip up to the second floor.

Chi Enen had already come down the stairs.

His eyes were sharp, and as soon as Chi Enen came down, he immediately spotted her and ran over shouting, “Woman.”

Chi Enen was hugged full in his arms, nearly getting knocked over by him. Fortunately, she staggered and steadied herself.

Chi Jingchen was already hugging her legs and looking up at her, his large, round eyes just like Li Beijue’s, blinking with worry and anger that seemed to overflow, “Why didn’t you come down for lunch? Do you know how worried I was about you? If something had happened to you…”

His eyes were turning red, and he threatened fiercely, “If something had happened to you, I would forget about you tomorrow and have The Neighbor Old Wang find me a new pretty mommy.”

Li Beijue had already found him a new pretty mommy… Chi Enen thought in annoyance, but looking at his face about to cry from anger, she couldn’t help but feel heartache and squatted down to comfort him, “I’m sorry, baby, Mommy was just too tired yesterday and slept in a bit longer today. There, there, don’t cry.”

Chi Jingchen turned around and wiped his eyes, pretending to be tough, “Who said I was crying? I didn’t cry!”

“Yes, yes, you didn’t cry. Mommy saw wrong,” she reached out to the little guy’s shoulder, turned him around, and kissed his cheek. “There, I’m down now, right? Hearing that you wouldn’t eat, I came right down. I’m so hungry now; let’s eat together.”

Chi Jingchen continued to pout his small mouth, but his expression was much better. At least he no longer seemed about to burst into tears. His small hand grabbed her big hand, and, like a little adult, he started to lecture her while they walked, “Chi Enen, you eat too little. You have to eat more tonight.”
