Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: It Was Me Who Stopped Uncle Huo From Telling You
Ding Ling—
The sound of the doorbell came from the doorway.
Chi Enen immediately got up, “I’ll get the door.”
She walked quickly over, opened the room door, and a small figure immediately jumped into her arms, “Cat~Cat~”
A soft little body and familiar childish voice—who else could it be but her little bun?
“Nuonuo? Baby Chi? How did you come here?” Chi Enen was extremely surprised; she hadn’t expected Baby Chi and Nuonuo to come.
Huo Yi, who entered behind them, felt his heart in his throat, like he was about to walk to an execution ground. His lips were too heavy; he couldn’t even muster a smile.
What he needed to face, he had to face. He didn’t know how Master Jue would punish him.
Chi Jingchen watched as the little bun he held abandoned him the next second and jumped into Chi Enen’s arms. Despite feeling dejected, his heart was tickled. As he watched Chi Enen’s embrace, he said, “Who told you to keep not coming back? I said if you didn’t return within a week, I’d come find you!”
“But it hasn’t even been a week…” She had only been in Country W for four days.
“By Capital City time, it’s been five days, effectively a week,” Chi Jingchen argued confidently.
The latitude of Capital City is higher, so by its time, Chi Enen had left the evening of the first day. It was now daytime on the fifth day, making it a week!
He didn’t feel like he was playing tricks at all and continued with his reasoning, “Woman, you don’t want to see us?”
“Of course not.” Chi Enen pulled him into her embrace, eyebrows and eyes curved, “I’ve missed you too.”
“I didn’t say I missed you…” Baby Chi was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace, his tense little face relaxed, finally revealing a mixture of awkwardness and pride typical of a 7-year-old, as he muttered quietly.
Though he muttered, his body was honest, not struggling as Chi Enen hugged him.
Chi Enen held the two little guys on either side of her, her arms full, her heart even fuller.
She hadn’t seen them for only four days but really missed them. If it weren’t for Li Beijue’s injured back, she would have rushed back to them.
Unexpectedly, they came over themselves.
No, came over themselves?
Chi Enen released the two little ones and asked worriedly, “Baby Chi, did you come here by yourselves? How did you get here? Did Butler Huo bring you here?”
If Huo Yi had brought them over, why hadn’t Li Beijue mentioned it?
Baby Chi calmly denied it, “No, Grandpa had someone bring us over.”
Li Beijue also walked over, and upon hearing this, his sharp gaze immediately fell on Huo Yi, cold and fierce, “What’s going on?”
The old man brought Chi Jingchen and Nuonuo over, and he hadn’t received a single piece of news?
Furthermore, who gave him the courage to agree to send them over?
Huo Yi, locked by his sharp gaze, couldn’t help but feel his throat dry, completely clueless on how to explain.
Because the Old Master Jue instructed not to tell Master Jue? Or because the Little Young Master instructed not to tell Master Jue? Or all the way here the Little Young Master kept an eye on him, giving him no chance to inform Master Jue?
He felt none of these three explanations would lead to a good outcome for him.
Just as he braced himself to withstand the man’s fury, Baby Chi’s voice interjected, “I told Uncle Huo not to tell you.”
Li Beijue looked at him.
