Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Nuonuo is Especially Dependent on Xi Zelie

Only Chi Enen was utterly surprised.

She knows her little bun well; although brave and loving to be held, the little one still resists being held by those unfamiliar. At least not allowing just anyone to pick her up.

For instance, Si Chen can’t hold Nuonuo.

But now, the way she clings to the handsome man, as if she were a koala, reveals a strong sense of dependency that anyone with eyes could see.

“Candy, candy…” Li Yinuo still remembered the candy Xi Zelie promised her during the intravenous infusion, her corner of the mouth gleaming, and as she spoke of candy, saliva almost spilled out.

“Bring the candy over.” Xi Zelie, with patience, wiped her mouth and instructed the servant not far away.

Soon, a servant came over with a jar of candy, “Young Master Lie.”

Nuonuo’s eyes shone brightly at the sight of a jar full of colorful candies; her eyes nearly glued to it, her saliva flowing even more cheerily.

“Nuonuo… Candy! Candy!”

She didn’t care about Xi Zelie anymore. Her little legs stepped on the sofa and she reached her hands out to grab the jar handed over by the maid.

The handsome man wrapped one arm around her and took the candy jar with the other, picking out two candies and passing them over, “Today you can have two, you were very good just now, so you’re rewarded with an extra one.”

The little girl, not yet understanding the concept of greed, grabbed the two candies and immediately smiled so broadly her eyes nearly disappeared. She proudly presented them to Chi Enen, “Cat~ Candy~”

“Cat, cat, candy~”

Xi Zelie handed the candy jar to the servant, who went to put it away properly. Then he said to Chi Enen, “Don’t worry, this candy is all made from natural fruit, with no artificial colorings or sweeteners. She can have some.”

“Thank you.” From the way Nuonuo had been behaving, she could tell that Han Qifeng had taken very good care of her these past two days. She was sincerely grateful.

Xi Zelie revealed a smile, his peach blossom eyes even warmer than before, “If you’re not in a rush, stay and play with Nuonuo for a while. She’s been calling for you these past several days.”

“All right.” Chi Enen didn’t want to leave Nuonuo so soon, deciding to leave her at the villa for three days for the sake of her illness, she still didn’t want to part so quickly.

Her heart and eyes full of the little girl presenting treasures in front of her, she helped unwrap a piece of candy and fed it into her mouth, “Nuonuo is a good girl.”

Throughout this process, Xi Zelie’s gaze remained on her, warm and unprecedentedly tender…

…

In the villa’s kitchen, the butler Bun urged the chefs to prepare dinner in a sweat, “Make sure to cook well today! Today is extremely important! Absolutely no mistakes can happen! Understand?”

“Understood.”

Seeing his seriousness, the chefs looked at each other and replied in unison.

What’s the occasion today?

Has any important person arrived?

No word about that.

But since the butler has given such urgent instructions, it must be an important guest. It’s just not known what kind of person could make the butler so nervous.

The chefs took their positions and started bustling about.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set, and the orange afterglow from the floor-to-ceiling glass window streamed in.

The butler entered from the doorway and respectfully interrupted Chi Enen and Nuonuo’s play and roughhousing, “Young Master Lie, dinner is ready. Shall we dine now?”

That’s when Chi Enen realized it was getting late. She was about to say she had to leave.

Xi Zelie had already turned his head to look at her, “Join us for dinner.”

Chi Enen hesitated slightly, but at that moment, the little girl beside her seemed to sense something, tugging at her sleeve and softly coaxing, “Cat… dinner… cat…”
