Shui Anluo was just thinking about what she wants to eat when Chu Ningyi spoke.
“Have you finished eating?” Shui Anluo asked curiously.
“Mm.” Chu Ningyi calmly replied. “Shui Anluo, what did you do after work?”
No matter how one looked at it, those words seemed to be coming from a man who was searching for evidence about his wife’s extramarital affair.
Shui Anluo gently tilted her head and looked down as she considered how she should answer the question. Chu Ningyi had clearly declared that he wanted to court her but she does not want to report her every move to Chu Ningyi. From another point of view, this was a rejection of his advances.
Shui Anluo stopped herself from explaining that she had hung out with Qiao Yaruan and changed her answer. “Nothing.”
Twack!
Chu Ningyi slammed his chopsticks down and Shui Anluo trembled, not daring to look up.
“Shui Anluo, do you think that I’ve been too good to you?” Chu Ningyi spat icily. Shui Anluo’s purposeful concealment of the truth has fanned the flames of his anger even more.
Shui Anluo’s heart screamed that she was now in trouble. She has thoroughly angered Chu Ningyi.
Maid Yu hid in the kitchen and did not dare to step out. The little darling’s gurgling noises also gradually diminished. Upon another look, the little one has fallen asleep.
Shui Anluo’s eyes darted about. After a moment, she looked up at Chu Ningyi but her eyes were filled with resolve.
“Chu Ningyi, if the little darling had never existed, I’d be working at a summer job to earn money for my fourth-year education fees. Isn’t that the case?” Shui Anluo spat and slowly said. “If you weren’t trying to acquire Soaring Distance Technologies, perhaps I wouldn’t even have your attention now. Isn’t that the case?”
Smash!
Just as Shui Anluo finished speaking, Chu Ningyi swept all the dishes off the table with one hand. Shui Anluo could not manage to avoid it in time and ended up getting splashed by the gravy and soup. Her bare legs were cut by the shards, leaving a trail of bright red blood.
“Wah…” The little darling was frightened by the noise and woke up from his sleep. His clear cries replaced the lingering sound of smashed dishes.
Chu Ningyi got up and pressed both his hands onto the table as he stared sharply at her.
“Shui Anluo, you’re an ungrateful ingrate,” spat Chu Ningyi before he snatched his walking stick up. He immediately walked past the mess and went upstairs.
Shui Anluo felt a stinging pain from her leg as her son’s cries rang in her ears along with Chu Ningyi’s chilly words.
Maid Yu was frantic with anxiety in the kitchen. How had they suddenly ended up in a quarrel? However, she did not know what to say.
Shui Anluo’s leg hurts. Her entire body ached and the smell of food emanated from her clothes. Shui Anluo thought that she must cut a thoroughly sorry figure now.
Maid Yu carefully emerged. She saw the miserable-looking Shui Anluo and the bawling infant and quickly ran over. She carefully pulled Shui Anluo up as she spoke. “Oh dear, what’s gotten into you two?” Maid Yu quickly rushed to the medicine cabinet and picked up the little darling to gently coax him at the same time.
Shui Anluo sat on the sofa with her hands clasped together. However, she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall from her eyes.
“You and the Young Master are both as stubborn as each other. You clearly have feelings for each other but you refuse to admit it.”
“I don’t…” Shui Anluo immediately tried to object. Her heart only has space for her mother and the little darling.
“Young Madam, listen to me. I’ve watched the Young Master grow up from a young age. If the Young Master has any intentions of being nice to someone, he’ll do so without any ulterior motives. He’s not like most men who would beat around the bush. If he cares about you, he’ll care for you. He won’t have any other reason.” Maid Yu placed the little darling on the sofa then bent down to help Shui Anluo treat the wound on her leg.
