Chi Enen looked at her thinned face, her heart softened, and she agreed, âOkay.â
A hint of surprise flashed across Xi Zelieâs eyes, âGo get ready.â
âYes, Young Master Lie.â
Chi Enen furrowed her eyebrows, took the opportunity when Nuonuo was playing with other things, and glanced at her mobile phone.
The mobile phone was quiet, no text messages, and no missed calls.
Strange, hasnât Li Beijue seen the call she made to him yet? Why isnât he returning the call? Hasnât he returned to the hospital? Where did he go?
âEnen, time to eat.â
âAlright, Iâll be right there.â Chi Enen put her phone back and carried Nuonuo over.
Soon, the villaâs servants entered in procession, placing a row of exquisite dishes onto the table.
Chi Enen watched as they quickly filled the eight-seater dining table with Matsutake, Caviar, each dish luxurious and refined.
Aside from Western Food, they also thoughtfully prepared Chinese Food.
They also prepared Millet Porridge, Nuonuoâs favorite.
âFood! Food!â Nuonuo became excited upon seeing the food.
âDonât rush, Mommy will feed you.â Chi Enen tied the bib around Nuonuoâs neck, then picked up a spoon, blowing on each spoonful to cool it before feeding it to her.
Having played for so long, the little guy seemed genuinely hungry. Unlike other children her age who run around at mealtime, she sat obediently on her chair, waiting for Chi Enen to feed her, eating deliciously in big bites, stimulating an appetite in those who watched her eat.
After feeding her a full bowl, Chi Enen started eating herself.
Her dining table etiquette was flawless; her posture and dining demeanor impeccably maintained as she finished the steak in front of her, then set down her knife and fork.
âIâm full, Mr. Han, please continue at your leisure.â
As she put down her knife and fork, Xi Zelie followed suit, elegantly wiped his mouth, rose, and pulled back her chair, âItâs getting late outside, let me take you home.â
âNo need to bother.â Chi Enen rejected without a second thought.
Xi Zelie stepped in front of her, his profile sturdy and dignified, as he pulled her chair back, his attitude firm and not up for debate, âIâll take you!â
Chi Enen heard the firmness in his tone and furrowed her eyebrows, then thought of asking Xi Zelie to help control Nuonuoâs condition over the next three days, and considering her past misunderstanding of him, she felt apologetic. After a moment of thought, she looked into his eyes and said politely, âThen Iâll trouble you.â
Xi Zelie momentarily clumsily avoided her bright pupils, feeling a subtle change in his heart, his thin lips slightly parted, âNo trouble, letâs go.â
âOkay.â
Chi Enen didnât want to be apart from Nuonuo, but now she had to leave her temporarily for three days. She stared at the little girl being entertained by the servant on the sofa, reluctant to shift her gaze away.
Xi Zelie subdued the subtle feeling in his heart, followed her gaze towards the little girl playing with toys on the sofa. His features softened somewhat as he said, âThese three days, if you miss her, you can video call her.â
Videoâ¦
âReally?â Chi Enen immediately turned her head, looking at him with surprise.
âAnytime, my mobile phone will be on 24 hours.â
Chi Enen felt slightly better inside, forced herself to look away, and with gritted teeth, turned and said, âMr. Han, letâs go.â
If she didnât leave now, she feared she wouldnât want to leave at all.
âOkay.â
Xi Zelie stepped forward with his long legs, and Chi Enen, with a heavy heart, followed his stepsâ¦
Li Yinuo, currently distracted by the toy bear held by the servant, didnât notice Chi Enen and Xi Zelie leaving, so she didnât cry or fuss and continued laughing and playing with the maid, giggling nonstop.
