Chapter 97: Not going home tonight
What’s wrong with Li Jingjing? she had eaten here before, but he was so diligent. She even ran to the kitchen and asked if she needed help?
Was this still the man who was used to being silent and always had a cold face?
Chi luexi recalled carefully. It seemed that the man’s expression had become more normal recently and was not as gloomy and cold as before. He also had simple conversations with her, unlike in the past when he would not even answer her questions.
Did Li Jingjing have some good news recently?
At the thought of this, Chi Luoxi couldn’t help but laugh secretly. It was always a good thing that the ice Mountain could melt slowly, whether it was temporary or in the future.
The food was delicious, and the salad Chi Luoxi made with her heart and soul was the most popular. Not only did the little fellow like it, but Li Jingjing also nodded in praise.
It was a rare thing for a person who did not know how to cook to receive good reviews from everyone. Chi luexi was very proud of this.
She had to work harder in her studies in the future. Seeing the little guy and Li Jingjing burying their heads in the food she had cooked, Chi Yuexi felt very satisfied and content.
Although her legs and feet were a little tired after running around the entire afternoon, Chi luexi was suddenly touched by the fact that she had personally cooked and the two of them were eating with great relish. This was the feeling of a home that she had longed for for a long time.
This time, the little fellow ate the fastest. He didn’t care about the taste of the food and quickly finished eating, wanting to go play with golden fluffy ball.
By the time Chi luexi came out of the kitchen after tidying up, she saw the little fellow hugging QiuQiu and lying on the sofa. His eyes were half-open, and he was so tired and sleepy that he was about to fall asleep.
“Baby, wake up. It’s time to go home, shower, and sleep.” Chi Luoxi shook the little fellow gently.
When Chenchen heard that, she still lay on the sofa and refused to let go of QiuQiu. She pleaded in a small voice,
“Mommy, I can’t walk anymore. I won’t go home tonight. I’m going to sleep with QiuQiu at mommy’s house, okay?”
Chi leixi understood that the little fellow liked puppies, but it was up to his daddy whether he wanted to go home or not.
Li Jingjing was sitting on the other end of the sofa, flipping through old newspapers. Chi yaoxi felt that he should have heard the little fellow’s words from a distance.
Chi yaoxi waited for a while. Seeing that Li Jingjing was still silent and unmoved, she seemed to be tired.
Since there were no objections, Chi leixi agreed to the little fellow’s request.
“Alright, you can sleep at mommy’s house and have fun with QiuQiu.”
When Chenchen heard this, she immediately sat up from the sofa.”Yay! I can still play with QiuQiu for a long time!”
Chi luexi laughed. This mischievous little fellow was so energetic now that he had gotten up. He must have pretended to be tired and did not want to go back just now to put on an act for her.
“I’ll clean up the guest room later. Chenchen, you can go and take a shower after playing for ten more minutes. ”
After Chi yaoxi finished speaking, she turned to look at Li Jingjing. Just as she was about to ask him about his arrangements and whether he was going to go back alone, Li Jingjing spoke up.
“I don’t feel at ease leaving Chenchen here alone, so I’ll stay too.”
Without any unnecessary words, this man actually took the initiative to stay?
Chi luexi was very surprised. This was not his style. What was there to worry about? It wasn’t his first time staying here.
Chi luexi’s eyes were still wide open. While she was still confused, the little fellow reacted even faster.
It was rare for his daddy to stay, so the little guy quickly said,”
“Mommy, just promise daddy that you’ll stay too. He’ll be lonely if he goes back alone with no one to play with.”
Chi luexi almost laughed at the little fellow’s excuse. What did he mean by ‘lonely’?
Seeing Li Jingjing nod at her, indicating that she also wanted to stay, Chi leixi had no choice but to agree.
“I don’t have any clothes for you to change into,” Chi Luoxi reminded him.
“You can buy a few and put them here.” Li Jingjing read the newspaper and quickly replied.
Upon hearing the man’s words, Chi yaoxi was a little surprised and puzzled. She turned around and saw that the man was still reading the newspaper quietly. She did not say anything and quickly went to clean up the guest room.
After she was done packing, Chi Luoxi stopped and her voice phone rang.
Chi yaoxi saw that it was a video call from Xiao Ye.
The call went through. Xiao Ye was lying lazily on his sofa, his eyes smiling as he looked at Chi luexi silently.
“What is it? You’re so free?” Chi Luoxi also asked with a smile.
Xiao Ye was still smiling and did not say anything. Chi yaoxi found it strange and quickly asked,
“Is the signal bad over there? Why isn’t it moving or making any sound?”
“Hahaha ...” Xiao Ye could not help but laugh out loud.
“I’m just teasing you, silly. ”
Chi luexi was so angry that she laughed. She waved her fist at her phone. How old are you to still play such games?
Xiao Ye told Chi yaoxi some good news about the jewelry store’s business and sales. After that, the two of them chatted for a while.
Suddenly, Xiao Ye stopped and remained silent. He even tilted his head and listened attentively to Chi Kexi’s movements.
That’s strange, why would I hear a child’s voice in the middle of the night? And a man’s voice?
Xiao Ye immediately felt depressed. He didn’t need to guess to know who it was.
Chi yaoxi’s social circle wasn’t big and it wasn’t chaotic. Xiao Ye basically knew everyone around her.
He almost blurted out the question, but after thinking about it, he suppressed it. If he were to rashly ask her, he didn’t seem to have the right to do so. After all, he wasn’t anyone to her.
But ...
Xiao Ye’s heart was filled with depression, jealousy, and jealousy. He was in a low mood, but he did not dare to show it while he was video-calling.
It was only right to ask from the perspective of being worried about her safety. Xiao Ye had found a sufficient reason.
Xiao Ye sat up straight and paid more attention to Chi luexi’s situation.”Luexi, is there anyone else at home?” I can hear someone talking. ”
“Uh.” Chi yaoxi glanced at Li Jingjing, who was sitting on the sofa, and the little guy, who was lying on the ground playing with the dog. She nodded awkwardly and admitted to it.
“Come here, daddy. It’s not coming out. Come and help me.” The little fellow was sprawled on the ground as her voice traveled into Xiao Ye’s ears.
Chi Luoxi hurriedly explained.”Yes. I’m tired from playing in the afternoon. The little fellow insisted on staying here.”
It was indeed hard to say that there were outsiders at home when it was time to sleep. Chi Yuexi herself felt a little awkward.
She didn’t know what other questions Xiao Ye would ask next. Chi yaoxi felt that it was inconvenient to say anything since Li Jingjing and the little fellow were both around. She directly asked Xiao Ye if he had anything else to say. If he didn ‘t, they could chat another day. Soon, the two of them hung up.
Xiao Ye curled up on the sofa and thought about it. He suddenly realized that Chi Luoxi’s feelings for Li Jingjing were not as simple as she had said.
It was hard to explain their relationship clearly. The relationship between the two of them might be more complicated than she had originally imagined.
