“You have one more runway show tomorrow. I need to head back the day after so it’s likely that I might not be able to watch your final runway show.” Chu Ningyi still decided to go back. Since he could not wait for that girl to contact him, he has to go back.
Yuan Jiayi’s expression changed a little and her disappointment was clear to see.
Even though Chu Ningyi knew that he was going to break his promise to Yuan Jiayi, he had to say it.
After all, the person who needs him the most now was Shui Anluo.
Yuan Jiayi lowered her eyes and picked at her clothes with tense hands.
“But Ningyi, you promised,” said Yuan Jiayi as she looked into Chu Ningyi’s eyes. Her gaze was tainted with tears.
Seagulls glided over the sea’s surface and Chu Ningyi’s gaze darkened. Since when had her tears stopped becoming his weakness?
“I’m sorry.” Chu Ningyi maintained his stance. He then allowed Uncle Chu to push him away from the beach.
Yuan Jiayi pursed her lips and her knuckles went white as she looked up and stared at his disappearing figure.
They were both exes, an ex-girlfriend and an ex-wife. The only difference was the baby.
Yuan Jiayi forcefully took several deep breaths before she could calm herself down. Had she actually lost to a baby?
All she could say was that Shui Anluo’s bargaining chip was too good.
An Jiahui arrived home, flustered and exasperated. Not a single media outlet in ‘A’ City was willing to accept her piece of news. Based on their faltering mannerisms, she knew that someone had already briefed them beforehand.
“Mom?” Shui Anjiao yawned as she walked downstairs. She noticed her angry mother in the living room and could not stop herself from calling out to her.
“Trash, a bunch of trash,” An Jiahui cried out like a maniac. She swiped everything on the coffee table to the ground.
Shui Anjiao trembled. She then pursed her lips and walked downstairs. “Mom, what’s up with you?”
“Who is Shui Anluo anyway? Everyone is helping her. I’d love to see who can still help her this time.” An Jiahui spat as she pushed the last fruit bowl onto the floor.
Shui Anjiao stared at her raging mother and quickly clasped her mother’s hand. “Mom, if something happens to Shui Anluo, won’t the Shui family finally belong to us? Then we won’t need to move out of this place. Everything here will still belong to me, right?” Shui Anjiao suggested excitedly. All she wanted was riches and luxury.
“Of course, everything here belongs to us, every single thing.” An Jiahui sneered and spoke viciously. Since no one would accept her piece of news, she would make the news come to Shui Anluo on its own.
Shui Anluo had gone to the hospital early in the morning to make a medical inspection report. She then went to Mo Lusu’s office to wait for the results.
The little darling, who was propped against his mommy’s arm, kicked his little legs on his mommy’s lap. He, who was blissfully ignorant of the situation, was the happiest of them all.
Mo Lusu poured her a glass of water and sat down, facing her. “Don’t worry, this matter will be over very soon. By then, it’d make no difference if you completed your internship here.”
Shui Anluo looked down as she played with her son. Her heart softened from her senior brother’s concern. “There’s no need. Once this matter is resolved, I plan to take the baby to Yaruan’s old home to finish my internship.”
She would not cling to Chu Ningyi so he does not need to avoid her. Rather than allowing someone to come back and chase her away, why not leave first? At least she could still save herself some dignity, right?
Mo Lusu’s gaze darkened as he looked at the gurgling little baby on her lap. “What about your son? Would he let you take the baby away?”
‘The little darling?’
Shui Anluo stared at her son. Chu Ningyi had done all this for his son so she had to leave with the baby before his return.
