âTelevision, huh? Donât they often have news of this type on TV? The divorced woman covets a young hunk only to end up robbed of wealth and looks.â âYouâre forbidden from watching television from now on!â Before he could protest, Chi Enen took a deep breath and continued, âThe man who took me home last night is a friend of a friend. Our relationship isnât what you think. I donât even know him; how could I possibly be with him?â
The person who had brought her home last night was Uncle Huangâs âdriver friendâ; she hadnât even gotten a clear look at the manâs face, so how could they possibly be together?
Moreoverâ¦
âBaby, listen to me carefully. Mommy is telling you, I have no plans to find you a father, not now, nor in the future. Even though I canât give you a father, I will give you all the love I can. You will forever be my most beloved little baby, so donât do things like you did today anymore, okay? It makes Mommy very embarrassed, and I wouldnât even know how to face Uncle Han anymore.â
âSo youâre never getting married?â
âRight, Iâm not getting married.â Does her secret marriage to her gay husband count? After all, theyâd part ways after their mutual needs were met.
Chi Jingchen took a deep breath, his little face turning stern, and after a long pause, he spoke word byword, âWoman, rest assured. I will grow up quickly, earn money quickly. In the future, Iâll treat you to the best delicacies!â
âPfftââ Chi Enen was amused by him, pinched his cheek, blinked her eyes, and put on a serious face just like him, âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â
Having solved the biggest issue on her mind, she stood up in a good mood, took her Baby Chiâs hand again, and said, âLetâs go, weâre having barbecue tonight.â
She had only taken a step when she was pulled back. Baby Chi rolled his little eyes with an air of finality and said, âGo home!â
Chi Enen was confused, âHome? Why? Donât you love barbecue the most? You were even fussing to go eat the day before yesterday.â
âThat was the day before yesterday.â Chi Jingchen inserted a hand in his pocket, looking cool to the extreme, much like a certain person, his phoenix eyes glaring as he said, âThe day before yesterday, I thought you might snag a wealthy husband, but now thatâs not happening, so of course weâre not going.â
ââ¦â Chi Enen was speechless and undeterred, âItâs just one meal of barbecue, Mommy can still afford it.â
âBut you donât have a man to support you, and before I grow up, you wonât have a man to support you. So until I grow up, we have to save!â
Chi Jingchen waved his small hand with a finality, settling the matter.
âGo home!â

Monday.
As soon as Chi Enen arrived at the company, before she could even set down her bag, Qin Nan hit her with a bombshell, âEnen, weâve been moved to the evening time slot.â
Chi Enen frowned, hastily putting down her bag, âWhose idea was this? Fatty Fish? Is it because I offended President Wang?â
âI donât know.â Whether it was the evening or afternoon shift made no difference to her, but she knew that for Enen, who had a child at home, the afternoon shift certainly was more convenient. She furrowed her brows, pondering, â1 donât think it was Fatty Fishâs doing. You know his temper. If he knew you pushed that old lecher into the toilet bowl, heâd definitely hack us to death with a kitchen knife. Itâs probably from the higher-ups.â
ââ¦The higher-ups?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe New CEO.â Qin Nan leaned in conspiratorially to gossip, âSandy said the New CEO arrived at eight this morning. Wei Ting was on the morning shift and even bumped into the New CEO. According to Wei Ting, our new boss is super handsome, with long legs and good looksâ¦â
