Chapter 38 Allergic To Cashews

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.”
