Chapter 38: Allergic To Cashews

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Yaoxi let the little fellow feed her a mouthful of biscuits. But as she ate, she could not help but frown. Why did she feel that something was amiss? The snack was indeed fragrant, but why did she smell cashew nuts?

But the taste was only a little bit, not very strong. Was she wrong? Or had something gone wrong while she was making cookies?

Chi Yaoxi was a little suspicious, but she clearly remembered that she had crushed several types of nuts and mixed them together, but she definitely did not put any cashew nuts in. There were no such cashew nuts at home either.

The cashew nuts were a taboo in the family. The kid was allergic to cashew nuts.

Chi Yaoxi knew about this matter because when she was shopping at the supermarket with the little fellow, she saw the cashews. The little fellow mentioned unintentionally that he could not eat cashews. When he was young, he suffered from severe allergies due to accidentally eating them and was hospitalized for a few days.

The little guy saw his mommy eating with relish. After finishing one piece, she ate a second piece. He also picked up a small fork, forked a delicate and delicious biscuit, and sent it into his mouth.

Chi Yaoxi saw it and immediately stopped him. “Don’t move! You can’t eat it!”

The little fella was startled when he heard his mommy’s anxious and loud voice. He quickly put down his fork and looked at his mommy in confusion.

Chi Yaoxi looked at Wu Shu who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly moving closer to the little fella’s ear, saying quietly, “Baby, I smell some cashew nuts from the snack. You can’t eat them.”

“Cashew? Mommy didn’t put it in, right? I’m allergic, so I can’t eat it!” The little guy was a little frightened at the mention of cashews and asked his mommy with widened eyes. The memory of him being hospitalized from an allergy to cashew nuts six months ago was still fresh in his mind. He had even been injected for a few days. It was too unbearable.

“Mommy knows. I didn’t put the cashews in, but it’s weird. It smells like cashews. I don’t know what’s going on. Safety first. Don’t eat it first.” Chi Yaoxi warily glanced at Wu Shu, who was reading a magazine on the sofa. She wasn’t sure if she was up to something.

The little guy put down his fork sensibly. He knew that his mommy was being so alert for his own good.

It wasn’t time for dinner yet. When Li Qianming returned home, he realized that Wu Shu was there as well. His originally calm mood felt a little stifled.

When Wu Shu saw that Li Qianming had returned, she happily walked up and prepared to take the briefcase from him at the door.

Li Qianming took a step forward and directly walked past Wu Shu without even looking at her.

Wu Shu was used to Li Qianming’s coldness. Although he felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she couldn’t argue about it. After all, she liked this man. She followed behind Li Qianming and said warmly, “I’m free today, so I came to visit you. Qianming, are you still so busy this weekend?”

Li Qianming originally didn’t want to bother with Wu Shu. He had long heard of her character and conduct, and had no interest in a woman like her. He couldn’t even be bothered to talk to her. However, seeing her following behind him, Li Qianming frowned unhappily and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

Wu Shu didn’t know what to do with Li Qianming’s sudden question. She paused for a moment before replying: “Nothing much, I just came over for a visit. Auntie even called to say that she wanted me to come over more often.”

This woman only knew how to use his parents to pressure him. She knew that she was not welcome, yet she still insisted on coming here. Li Qianming didn’t want to stay downstairs with her, so he walked straight upstairs. His cold tone carried an undeniable pressure. “I still have something on.”

Wu Shu looked resentfully at Li Qianming’s back view and could only stop in her tracks. She felt very aggrieved in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be generous and said gently, “Then go on. We’ll talk after you’re done.”

Li Qianming sat on the sofa in the study and casually flipped through the company’s published magazines. He didn’t have anything important to do, just to avoid that woman.

After sitting for a while, a figure walked to the door of the study.

Chi Yaoxi thought about it and felt that the matter of the cashew nuts was very important. She still had to inform Li Qianming, just in case.

Although the door to the study was open, Chi Yaoxi still politely stood at the door and knocked.

“Come in, what’s the matter?” Li Qianming knew that although he and Chi Yaoxi were husband and wife in name, they were not close enough to chat. There must be something going on for her to come to him.

Chi Yaoxi told Li Qianming in detail about the cashew nuts mixed in her dessert.

Li Qianming was somewhat shocked. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Yaoxi with a new look. Fortunately, the woman was alert and it didn’t cause any trouble. Otherwise, it would be hard to clean up the mess.

What a thoughtful woman. He had never mentioned to her that Chenchen was allergic to cashew nuts, so how did she know about the taboo of the little kid? To Chenchen, she was really a qualified mommy.

Unknowingly, Li Qianming’s icy expression became much calmer, and his impression of her increased by quite a bit.

Although the matter was stopped by Chi Yaoxi in time and there were no serious consequences, this was too much. Li Qianming felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.

“Are you suspecting Wu Shu?”

Chi Yaoxi said firmly, “I seriously suspect that she did it. She’s the only outsider in the family.”

Li Qianming remained silent and did not say anything more, but suddenly stood up from the sofa. “Let’s go down and ask her!”

Wu Shu, who had been sitting in the living room, waiting to have dinner with Li Qianming, saw Li Qianming coming down so quickly and thought he was done with his work. She quickly stood up from the sofa and was about to walk to Li Qianming’s side when she heard him say sternly, “Sit down!”

Seeing Li Qianming’s dark face, even colder than usual, and hearing such a serious and unhappy tone, Wu Shu was momentarily stunned. She looked at Li Qianming in confusion, not knowing why this man was so loud to her.

Wu Shu could only obediently sit down again. She frowned and asked innocently, “What’s wrong? Qianming, did something happen?”

Seeing this fickle face, Li Qianming’s cold eyes revealed a fierce and sharp gaze as he stared straight at Wu Shu. “Did you put the cashew nuts on purpose?”

When Wu Shu heard Li Qianming’s words, she was shocked. The phone in her hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

Her subconscious actions were all seen by Li Qianming.

However, in front of Li Qianming, she pretended to be calm and decisively denied it. “No, what cashew nuts? I’ve never eaten any cashew nuts here.” Wu Shu deliberately changed the topic, trying to distract Li Qianming from the topic.

Chi Yaoxi had followed over. She was furious at the thought of this. She finally had the time to cook something nice for the little fellow, but this annoying woman ruined it. But how did this woman know that Chenchen was allergic to cashew nuts?
