Chi Enen made a total of three servings of tomato egg noodles, which is why it took so long.
She pushed two larger bowls in front of the handso man and Huo Yi, and placed the smaller bowl at Baby Chi’s designated seat on the other side. She smiled and said to Huo Yi, "Thanks for waiting."
Damn! He’s been waiting a long ti too!
Li Beijue’s face was a bit sour, but he didn’t speak.
Huo Yi was flattered and hurriedly waved his hand, "Miss Chi, I don’t eat, there’s no need to prepare this for ."
"You had breakfast?" Chi Enen asked him in surprise.
Huo Yi stamred, "No, but it’s against the rules... I..."
"Sit down and eat!" Li Beijue ordered simply and bluntly.
His simple and blunt command was more effective than anything Chi Enen could say, and the uneasy Huo Yi imdiately sat down. But with a posture so upright, he seed unsure where to place his hands and feet.
Baby Chi had already washed his hands and ca out, skillfully leaping onto his spot, picking up the chopsticks, glancing at Li Beijue’s bowl on the opposite side. Then he looked at his own noticeably smaller bowl with a bit of gloom. However, he knew that his current appetite couldn’t compare with Li Beijue’s, so although he was gloomy, he didn’t stubbornly demand as much food. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and greeted Huo Yi, "Uncle Huo, let’s eat together. My mommy’s tomato egg noodles are the best. You’ll know once you try it."
Chi Enen was embarrassed by his praise, and quickly said, "There’s no such thing, I can only make this, and the taste is just average. Don’t listen to him, Butler Huo."
Huo Yi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then raised his thumb in approval, "Miss Chi, it’s delicious."
Even though she knew Huo Yi was just being polite, Chi Enen still felt a faint sense of satisfaction seeing her food being well-received.
The Li family always eats in silence, maintaining a proper posture.
Chi Enen remained quiet and didn’t try to start a conversation, only getting up to clean the bowls after they finished eating.
"Miss Chi, let do it." Huo Yi quickly went over to help.
Chi Enen smiled and avoided his gesture, saying, "It’s alright, it’s just cleaning up the bowls, I can handle it."
"How could that be?"
"I used to work as a waitress overseas, cleaning and washing bowls is my specialty. It’s just a few bowls, I can get it done in a few minutes." Her tone was casual, like small talk.
Li Beijue, however, rembered the days when she was bullied by the Chi family.
Chi Enen quickly took the bowls away, washed them, and returned. Baby Chi was just about to head to the room with his backpack. As soon as he saw her, he said, "Woman, I’m sleepy, going to sleep now. Don’t disturb , okay?"
"Take a shower first before sleeping."
"Got it." Baby Chi yawned and entered the bedroom.
As soon as he got inside, he imdiately closed the door with a snap.
He seed afraid that soone might co in.
Chi Enen frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange. Previously, Baby Chi always wanted her to tell a story or watch a TV drama with him before sleeping. Today, not only did he not fuss, but he also obediently went inside by himself, and even closed the door after entering... This wasn’t his usual behavior.
She was still lost in thought, wondering what was wrong with Baby Chi.
Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by soone. Since she had opened the door, the man who had been calm until now had unknowingly walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Chi Enen, change your clothes, and co with to a place."
