Chapter 38 Switching Hands to Eat Mommy's Cooking

"Maybe he's got a girlfriend now!" Kong Ran boldly speculated.

Kong Wange: "...How old are you? What do you know about a little girlfriend!"

"If two people always want to play together and have shared little secrets, that's a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. What's so hard for Mommy to understand?"

After hearing her daughter's words, Kong Wange rubbed her forehead. She was indeed just a little kid.

She took a deep breath: "Don't talk nonsense. If you're curious, you can ask, but your brother must have his reasons for not wanting to talk about it. We need to respect his privacy, understand? Okay, go ask him what he wants to eat tonight, and Mommy will make it for you."

"Hmph, who's disrespecting his privacy? I'm not going to ask!" Kong Ran turned and tugged at Kong Wange's sleeve: "Mommy, let's have spicy chicken for dinner!"

Kong Chi can't eat spicy food, so Kong Ran's insistence on eating spicy chicken was clearly intentional.

Kong Wange gently tapped Kong Ran's head: "Alright, I'll go ask!"

The room door was well soundproofed, and Kong Chi inside didn't hear Kong Wange return; he was engrossed in chatting with Murong Chen.

"So Daddy really went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic?" Kong Chi asked.

Murong Chen said excitedly, "That's right! And let me tell you, Brother Chi, Daddy got injured today because of Mommy! Mommy bandaged the wound on his shoulder!"

Kong Chi's eyes widened: "How did you know?"

"I overheard him talking to Uncle Lin Cheng!" Murong Chen said proudly. "I knew that as long as we keep creating opportunities for Daddy and Mommy to spend time together, it will definitely improve their relationship. Brother Chi, aren't I awesome!"

Kong Chi nodded: "You are indeed great, but... how badly is Daddy injured? Are you sure you don't want to check on Daddy's injury?"

Nobody gets this excited because their dad is injured.

Kong Chi put himself in his father's shoes and suddenly understood his father's previous manic behavior...

"Hey! It's a small problem, no big deal," Murong Chen said casually. "Daddy used to come home with injuries a lot in the past two years, but things have calmed down a lot in the last two years. We're used to it now."

Kong Chi was taken aback: "Daddy gets injured often?"

“Yes,” Murong Chen said with a sigh, “It’s because our family is so big and powerful that too many people covet our wealth. Sigh.”

Kong Chi: "..."

So is this the pressure on the richest person?

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Baby, are you in there? Mommy's coming in?"

Kong Chi realized what was happening and quickly said to the person opposite, "Xiao Chen, stop talking, Mommy's back!"

After saying that, he slammed down the phone.

When Kong Wange came in, she saw him hurriedly putting away the children's watch.

She coughed lightly and gave a motherly smile: "Sweetie, who are you chatting with?"

Kong Chi pulled his watch back slightly: "Nobody, just a new friend."

"Aren't you going to introduce your new friend to Mommy?" Kong Wange asked casually.

"Later..." Kong Chi said cautiously, "I haven't known him for very long... I'll definitely introduce him to Mommy once we're more familiar with each other!"

Kong Wange thought about it and agreed. A five-year-old kid wouldn't know anything about love, so there was nothing to worry about. She said with a sigh, "Okay, when you feel it's time, you can definitely let Mommy meet you."

"No problem!" Kong Chi patted his chest confidently.

He believed that introducing his younger brother to his mother would definitely give her a big surprise!

"What do you want to eat tonight? Mommy will make it for you."

"Hmm... stir-fried bamboo shoots and potato and radish soup, please."

"Okay, come out for dinner in half an hour."

"Okay, Mommy."

After Kong Wange left, Kong Chi breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Murong Chen: "I was so scared, I almost got caught by Mommy!"

Murong Chen quickly replied: "Waaaaah, I really want to reunite with Mommy right now!"

Kong Chi thought for a moment, then ran to the kitchen, took a picture of Kong Wange cooking, and sent it to Murong Chen on his computer: "Mommy's cooking! We'll have bamboo shoots and radish soup for dinner~"

His original intention was to show Murong Chen his mother to ease his longing, but to his surprise, Murong Chen cried even harder after seeing her: "Waaaaah, Brother Chi, I really want to eat Mommy's cooking!!"

Kong Chi's heart softened at his younger brother's crying, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Chen, do you want to switch with me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a voice message: "Is it really okay?"

Kong Chi laughed and replied, "Really, I've been eating my mom's cooking for years anyway, so eating less for a few days won't hurt. As long as we switch discreetly, we won't be found out! We'll find a chance to switch back after you finish eating."

Murong Chen was extremely excited, "Yay! I'm going right now!"

"Wait a minute, I'll make an excuse to go out. Wait for me at the corner of the stairwell!"

"No problem! Love you, Brother Chi!"

Kong Chi smiled and put away his watch, thinking to himself that although his younger brother wasn't very bright, he was quite adorable.

Stepping out of the room, he said to Kong Wange, "Mommy, I want to eat ice cream."

Kong Wange was busy putting the food into the pot when she heard this and frowned: "Honey, we don't have any ice cream at home."

"It's okay, I'll go downstairs to buy it."

Knowing that Murong Ting lived upstairs, Kong Wange said worriedly, "How about we wait until Mommy finishes cooking before we go buy it for you?"

"I can manage on my own, don't worry, I'll be back soon, Mommy!"

Kong Ran heard the noise in the living room: "Little Chichi, bring me a cute little ice cream!"

"I understand." Kong Chi said and slipped out the door before Kong Wange could react.

Kong Wange wanted to call out again, but she had to give up when she heard the door close.

She sighed as she looked at the beef soup in the pot: "Sigh, lately, Chi Bao has been influenced by Ran Bao and is becoming increasingly difficult to manage."

Kong Chi went out the door and then went to the stairwell next door.

Murong Chen was already hiding there. When he saw Kong Chi, he gave him a bear hug: "Brother Chi, you are the greatest brother!"

Kong Chi smiled and patted his head: "Alright, let's change our clothes. Remember to bring your sister a Cornetto when we go back."

Murong Chen's excited face instantly fell: "Brother Chi, I think my sister might hate me!"

"Why?" Kong Chi asked, puzzled.

Murong Chen thought about what he had secretly done to Kong Ran, and after a long while he sighed maturely: "Forget it, what goes around comes around."

Kong Chi, puzzled, remembered something and asked, "By the way, Xiao Chen, how are you feeling?"

Murong Chen made a "strong" gesture: "Extremely resilient!"

Kong paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, then corrected him with a black line on his forehead, "It's nice!"

Don't worry about the details!

Kong Chi patted his shoulder helplessly: "Then keep an eye on your watch and stay in touch, okay?"

Murong Chen nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Brother Chi!"

After the two children finished changing, Murong Chen ran downstairs to buy ice cream, while Kong Chi quietly went upstairs and, following the password Murong Chen gave him, returned home without anyone noticing.

In the study at home, Murong Ting and Lin Cheng were analyzing where Chanyi might be staying.

Lin Cheng meticulously studied the documents, but every now and then he would glance at Murong Ting's shoulder out of the corner of his eye.

"What, you want to try getting stabbed too?" Murong Ting noticed and looked at him coldly.
