242 Temptation

Chuchu realized that Chen En’s clothes had become very old-fashioned.

Her mother had told her before that the clothes Chen En wore with capital letters were very expensive. They were branded, and each one cost a lot of money. She had also told them not to go overboard and stain his clothes with paint when they were playing.

In the end, the clothes that Chen En had been wearing for the past few days were either too loose at the neckline or faded so much that even the capital letters could not be seen.

When Chen En came over that day, his clothes were very nice. The blue background was dotted with white patches, just like the white clouds in the blue sky. Chuchu sized him up for a long time and finally could not help but say, “Chen En, your clothes look much better than yesterday! Did your Mother buy you a new one?”

!!
Chen En lowered his head to check his clothes in disbelief. “It can’t be. Isn’t this the same one I wore on Monday?”

Even though he had to admit this set of clothes looked like they had been polished for at least 30 years.

“Oh!” Chuchu patted her head. It was a navy blue shirt with mini tassels. Chen En looked very old in his thin clothes, and Chuchu felt he looked like a little old man.

However, the originally shiny tassels could only be identified by a small line now. Coupled with the untimely appearance of the bright white color on the clothes, Chuchu could not help but laugh out loud when she looked at Chen En.

“You seem to have escaped from the wilderness.” Chuchu mimicked Chen En’s tone. He looks like San Mao.

There were only three tassels left on his clothes.

Chen En could not help but laugh. “My mother doesn’t know how to wash clothes, but she’s already trying her best.”

Chuchu tilted her head. Chen En’s mother was not a good mother. She should have left all the cleaning to the nanny. At the very least, when she went to Chen En’s house, Chen En introduced her to each of the housekeepers. Each housemaid was responsible for one room. Due to a large number of people, they had arranged everything in detail.

That was why Chen En’s mother had so much time for beauty treatments every day.

At this moment, Chuchu suddenly thought of something. “How about eating?” The Auntie in charge of cooking at home shouldn’t be back either!

“Oh…” Chen En did not want to think about the burning smell in the house. It was only then that he started to think about what his mother had been eating when he was not at home.

“Chen En! Let’s go to McDonald’s today!” Chuchu’s heart ached. She had to let Chen En eat something good.

“No, don’t.” Chen En’s eyes were suddenly filled with fear. He had been eating fast food for so many days that he felt like vomiting when he smelled it. Now, when he thought about this taste, he couldn’t help but feel sour.

“Can I have dinner at your house? I don’t want to eat fast food anymore,” Chen En pleaded sincerely.

Of course, Chuchu agreed. She even thought of Chen En’s mother. “I’ll ask Uncle Dong to pick up your mother after work!”

On the other side, Bai Xi spent the entire afternoon washing the pots.

Her white and slender fingers were next to the charred bottom of the pot, and they looked out of place. The oil seeped into her nails, and she only felt nauseated.

However, she learned a lot today. She had learned how to fry eggs.

Although the egg was still half broken, Bai Xi still had a sense of pride. She felt she was not far from making a decent meal. She was also interested in the cooking show on TV. According to the tutorial, cooking didn’t seem to be difficult.

While watching TV, the landline at home rang, and Bai Xi jumped up and down like a little girl to pick up the phone.

“Baby, how have you been?” Chen Kuan asked. The voice on the other end seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. It was lazy and deep. “I missed you very much.”

“I’m fine,” Bai Xi lowered the volume of the TV. “I’ll hang up first if there’s nothing else.”

“Where’s the money? Do you have enough money?” Chen Kuan said in a triumphant tone, “You used to spend extravagantly. You must be having a hard time now, right? How much was left on the credit card? A thousand? Two thousand? Do you need me to trans…”

“No need. Chen En will be back soon. I have to cook, I’m hanging up.”

Bai Xi didn’t know where she gain the courage but she hung up the phone with a bang.

She did not have much money now, but her expenses were not as high as before. Besides, she was also looking for a job.

On the other side, Chen Kuan was holding the microphone for a long time.

What did she just say?

Cooking?
