Chapter 203: Chapter 203: There’s the Scent of a Man in the House

The kindergarten was very close to their community, and Chi Enen took him first to the market to buy a fresh fish, chatting along the way about his field trip.

Soon, they were back home.

As soon as Chi Enen opened the door, Chi Jingchen couldn’t wait to take off his shoes and slip into his own size 43 men slippers. He dashed into the living room like little Holmes.

“Baby Chi, slow down.”

Chi Enen was changing her shoes behind him, and just as she finished, she turned to see him coming back holding a pair of men slippers identical to the ones on his feet, his face set in a stern expression, and asked, “Chi Enen, has a man been to our house?”

Damn, she had forgotten to clean up the house!

Chi Enen looked away and immediately changed the subject, deliberately raising her voice, “Baby Chi, how many times have I told you not to call me by my name. What did you just call me?”

Chi Jingchen pursed his thin lips tightly, clenching the slippers in his hand, even more certain that a man had been in their home. He reluctantly called out, “Mommy.”

Then, without giving Chi Enen a chance to breathe, he continued to press her, “Why are these slippers in the living room, has a guest been here?”

Chi Enen placed her bag on the sofa and nonchalantly replied, “A guest did come by, Mommy’s colleague.”

The CEO counts as a colleague, right? Although the gap is pretty wide…

“Colleague? What kind of colleague? Have 1 met them? Does Aunt Qin know them?” He fired off questions meticulously, not at all like a five-year-old child.

If it weren’t for his last question, Chi Enen might have been overwhelmed, “Aunt Qinnan knows.”

“Oh.”

Aunt Qinnan knows, which means that while he was not home, the man who came to his house to flirt with his woman and wore his new slippers was from within the company.

He disdainfully returned the slippers to the shoe cabinet before suddenly asking, “What did Mommy’s colleague come to our home for?”

Chi Enen felt as if he had seen right through her and was almost at a loss for words, but thankfully, she remembered the new bedspread in the bedroom and, with a stroke of inspiration, explained, “He came to deliver company annual meeting gifts and stayed for a cup of water.”

“What gifts?” It seemed the little guy was determined to get to the bottom of this.

Chi Enen led him into the bedroom and pointed at the new bedspread and a desk, saying, “Look, these are the gifts.”

Chi Jingchen had thought she was just making a random excuse, and if she had mentioned a gift that didn’t require a man to deliver, he could have caught her in the lie and pressed her about the identity of that man. But to his surprise, there were actually two new items at home.

The bedspread was one thing, but indeed, the desk would have needed a man’s strength to carry up.

However, something still felt off to him… He suspiciously circled the desk and touched the new bedspread but found no other evidence, so he could only say, “This desk looks like a brand item, probably worth quite a bit. Next time Aunt Qinnan comes, let’s ask her to help us sell it.”

Sell, sell, sell it?! Chi Enen knew he was a little money-grubber, but she was a bit at a loss for words to hear him immediately looking to sell his own father’s desk upon coming home.

Chi Jingchen, sensing her reluctance, quickly added, “You’ve got your small table anyway, and you can still use the computer on the dining table, so there’s no need for a desk. Since it’s not needed and is taking up space in the bedroom, it’s better to sell it for money..”
