After Returning, I Helped My Dad Chase Mom at the Parent-Child Variety Show

5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...

Chapter 137 Secrets

He has no problem making lunch, but what do Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao have to do?

"What are you busy with?" Chi Baiyi asked calmly.

Chi Nai raised her chin and said, "Secret, secret."

Chi Baiyi "..."

[Hahahaha, I can't laugh anymore, this is CEO Chi's daily dose of heart-wrenching humor!]

[Chi Zong is tired of saying it, but he still has to say it: "A leaky little cotton-padded jacket"]

Chi Baiyi carried the groceries and walked into the kitchen with a dejected look on her face.

"Cheese, what are we busy with?" Qin Yuanyao then asked Cheese.

Chi Nai put her tiny index finger to her lips and whispered, "Sister Qin, wait for me here."

After saying that, she ran into Chi Baiyi's room.

Her suitcase was in Chi Baiyi's room.

Chi Cheese pulled the yellow mask out of her suitcase.

Viewers who watched the first season quickly recognized the mask.

[Huh? How did this mask get here with the cheese?]

[Seeking explanation: What's wrong with this mask?]

[Did the person upstairs not watch season one? In the last season, Cheese saw a man wearing this mask at the town market. The vegetable vendor said the masked man was from the next village, a strange guy, and that the mask looked very unlucky. I don't know why this mask is with Cheese now.]

Is the mask Cheese is holding that belonged to that strange man, or is it the same one she bought?

I don't know! Cheese seems to really like the look of this mask.

Chi Nailu, holding the yellow mask, jogged up to Qin Yuanyao.

"Sister Qin, let's go!"

Qin Yuanyao looked bewildered. "Where are we going?"

Chi Nao turned to the photographer and said seriously, "Uncle, Sister Qin and I have to go out, so you can't come with us! You can take pictures of Dad."

"Why can't I come with you?" the photographer asked.

“I don’t want you to come along. What Sister Qin and I are doing is a secret.” Chi Nao said with a serious expression.

[...Just a moment ago we were laughing at President Chi, but now... it turns out President Chi is actually ourselves.]

[Waaaaah, is there something you can't let us esteemed VIP members know?]

“But I want to follow you around; my job is to film you,” the photographer said, half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Chi Nai's little face grew increasingly serious. "Uncle, then you might be invading my privacy. Children have privacy too. What you're doing isn't right."

As Chi Cheese finished speaking, she extended her delicate white index finger and waved it.

Coupled with her serious little face, she looked exactly like a head teacher.

The photographer said, "...Okay."

Chi Nai's expression changed instantly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Uncle!"

Then, she took Qin Yuanyao's hand and went out.

After confirming that the photographer wasn't following, Chi Nao whispered to Qin Yuanyao, "Sister Qin, let's go to Uncle Xie's house."

"Uncle Xie?" Qin Yuanyao searched her memory and asked, "Uncle Xie who taught us to play with mud?"

“Yes!” Chi Nao nodded emphatically.

Qin Yuanyao glanced at the Chenghuang mask in Chi Nao's hand, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly understanding nothing at all.

She decided to refrain from asking any questions for the time being and instead see what Chi Cheese was going to do.

They arrived at Uncle Xie's house.

Chi Nao stood in the yard and called into the house, "Uncle Xie—Uncle Xie—"

Uncle Xie came out from the inner room and recognized Chi Cheese as soon as he saw her.

"You were making the little dinosaur-shaped cheese this morning?" Uncle Xie asked with a smile.

Chi Cheese replied in a crisp voice, "Yes! Uncle Xie, you're amazing! You have such a great memory!"

Chi Cheese praised him and gave him a thumbs up.

Uncle Xie was even happier after she coaxed him.

"What do you need me for? Did you leave something here?"

Chi Cheese shook her head and handed the yellow mask to Uncle Xie.

"Uncle Xie, do you know anyone who can make this mask?"

After Chi Nao asked the question, Qin Yuanyao had a better understanding of the situation.

Chi Cheese is probably looking for Old Zhao, who made this yellow mask.

Although Chi Naozi had previously said that she sought out Lao Zhao because she wanted to work with him on the Chenghuang mask, Qin Yuanyao increasingly felt that Chi Naozi didn't actually want to work with Lao Zhao on the Chenghuang mask.

She seems to have other motives.

Uncle Xie took the mask, examined it closely, and exclaimed in surprise, "This mask is exquisitely made! Especially exquisite... and the image on this mask is something I've never seen before... Cheese, where did you buy this mask?"

"I didn't buy it, an uncle gave it to me. I'm looking for someone who can make this mask," Chi Nai said in her childish voice. "Uncle Xie, do you know someone like that?"

Uncle Xie pondered for a moment, "...There is someone who might make this mask."

Chi Nai's almond-shaped eyes lit up. "Who is it? Is his surname Zhao?"

Uncle Xie looked at her in surprise. "How did you know his surname is Zhao?"

Chi Nia was thrilled; her little heart was pounding.

Is she finally going to find Old Zhao, whom her father has been searching for?

Is she getting one step closer to the arsonist?

“The uncle who gave me this mask said that the person who made it was surnamed Zhao, but the uncle didn’t know his full name,” Chi Nao said.

Uncle Xie understood.

He said, "Should I give you his contact information, or should I contact him for you?"

Chi Cheese frowned as she pondered.

If the person Uncle Xie is talking about is indeed Old Zhao, who makes the yellow mask, then he might be the murderer who burned his family to death ten years later.

Such a person is dangerous! They must be very cunning as well.

It would be better if she went to see Lao Zhao in person with her parents, and her father brought a few more bodyguards.

"Give me his contact information," Chi Nao said.

Chi Nai used her children's watch to write down the contact information Uncle Xie had given her.

Just in case, she made Qin Yuanyao write one down as well.

Qin Yuanyao was impressed by how thoughtful she was despite her young age.

They went back to Grandpa Zhou's house.

From afar, before they even arrived, they saw the cameraman standing at the door of Grandpa Zhou's house, carrying a camera and pointing the lens in the direction they had disappeared from.

As viewers who had been waiting in the live stream saw Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao approaching, the previously sparse chat suddenly became lively.

Cheese and Yao Yao are back!

What did those two go off to do? You can't tell what they were doing from their expressions at all.

Why does the cheese wear a mask when it's doing something in secret?

I'm really curious what kind of privacy Cheese is talking about!

Chi Nai approached, sweetly called out "Uncle—" to the photographer, and then went to the kitchen behind the house to find Chi Baiyi.

"dad--"

Chi Baiyi had already prepared the ingredients and was ready to cook them.

Seeing Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao return, he said indifferently, "Finished with the secret?"

Chi Cheese nodded its fluffy little head.

Just as Chi Baiyi was about to turn her attention away from the frying, she noticed the yellow mask that Chi Nao was holding.
