Chu Ningyi raised his brow. His spirits were obviously lifted by a huge margin. He had thought things over after that incident and decided that he would speak to her when she woke up. He needed to ensure that she understood she was the only one who could ever become the future Mrs. Chu.
However, if that girl wanted to defend her territory and he were to deny her that chance, would he not have wronged her?
Director Chu, one more question, who are your ex-girlfriend and best friend to you?
Just friends.
Qiao Yaruan felt more at ease when she saw Chu Ningyi’s reply. She was about to say something else when Feng Feng snatched the phone away.
“Don’t cause things to backfire, love isn’t everything. Furthermore, don’t tell people things like how they aren’t supposed to have friends of the opposite sex. Shui Anluo wasn’t even born when Eldest Chu met Yuan Jiayi. Is he going to abandon his circle of friends just because of Shui Anluo?” Feng Feng sneered.
At this moment, Qiao Yaruan had already ended her call with Shui Anluo. She listened to Feng Feng’s cynical tone and replied in an even more cynical tone, “King Feng of the Silver Screen, what’re you being so cocky about? Do you even know what I’m about to say?”
Feng Feng stared at Qiao Yaruan who had got up to go back to the bedroom. He ground his teeth, why must he continuously indulge this little girl?
Yuan Jiayi stared at the smile on the corners of Chu Ningyi’s lips and felt a little uneasy. She could not help but ask, “Who messaged you?”
“Nothing, just a friend,” Chu Ningyi replied and threw his phone onto the table again. “About the matter of you working in the Design Department, I’ve already asked Ah Cheng to make the arrangements. When the time comes, you can work from home. There’s no need for you to make a trip.”
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Shui Anluo walked down on trembling thighs and felt like a cripple.
“Babble…” The little darling waved his little arms excitedly at the sight of his mommy whom he had not seen for the whole day.
Chu Ningyi looked up. Perhaps it was due to Qiao Yaruan’s message, the way he stared at Shui Anluo carried an extra sense of indulgence.
The fact that Shui Anluo might end up hating him after that incident had crossed his mind but he never expected Shui Anluo to want to defend her territory.
Actually, the feeling of being Shui Anluo’s territory was… Not bad at all.
Yuan Jiayi turned to look as well. This was the first time she had seen Shui Anluo in real life.
The girl was not very tall and had a small, round face. Her aesthetics were not to Yuan Jiayi’s taste and she felt that she was far less suited to Chu Ningyi’s taste. Chu Ningyi must have gotten together with her for the first time because of his family and the second time for the sake of his child.
Maid Yu hid quietly in the kitchen. Even when the doorbell rang, she did not get up to open the door. She had met Yuan Jiayi before but no one in the Chu family liked her at all. The Old Madam did not like her and the Madam and Master did not like her as well because this woman had an unstable personality.
Shui Anluo walked falteringly down the stairs and did not look at Chu Ningyi. She then reached out and scooped the little darling into her arms before she turned to leave.
Chu Ningyi frowned, this did not seem to be in line with what Qiao Yaruan had told him. He quickly got up and grabbed her wrist. “Where’re you going?” He asked in a deep voice.
Shui Andluo turned back and sent him a chilly stare. “Home. I won’t bother you, Director Chu and Miss Yuan.”
‘Home?’
Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened, this script was wrong.
Shui Anluo smiled icily. She knew that Qiao Yaruan had colluded with him which was why she had said that on purpose.
“Miss Shui, you’re mistaken, Ningyi and I are just friends.” Yuan Jiayi smiled as she spoke in a proper and magnanimous manner.
