When Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi walked into the hall’s entrance, there was already a large number of relatives gathered there. Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi had met them once during their wedding. However, she could not remember a single one of these relatives, forget about even mentioning this day, two years later.
As Shui Anluo stood there, she was forced into a daze.
‘Why had I followed him so obediently?’
‘These are all his family members and I’m the mother of his child at best!’
‘However, I actually came!’
Shui Anluo suddenly looked up at Chu Ningyi. ‘Can I still leave?’
Chu Ningyi raised his brow. ‘What do you think?’
Chu Ningyi inched closer to Shui Anluo and murmured into her ear, “Actually, you’re just afraid that they’d take the opportunity to introduce a girlfriend to me.”
“Oh, please…” Shui Anluo softly refuted his shamelessness.
“Ningyi is here, this must be Xiao Luoning. He looks just like you when you were little.” Just as Shui Anluo was about to spit a few words of ridicule towards him, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
Chu Ningyi looked up without a sign of a smile. He kept his arm around Shui Anluo’s shoulder and replied indifferently, “Second Aunt, long time no see.”
Chu Ningyi’s Second Aunt, she had known about this person but could not make the connection. Now, she has finally met the woman.
Chu Ningyi’s Second Aunt did not seem to be bothered by Chu Ningyi’s attitude. Instead, she smiled at Shui Anluo, “Luoluo, do you still remember me? I was there on your wedding day.”
Chu Jinyun was a gentle woman. Even the way she spoke to Shui Anluo was gentle.
“Hello, Second Aunt,” Shui Anluo greeted her politely. She did not fawn or shrink back.
However, she wanted to tell his Second Aunt that she was not around when they had gotten a divorce.
“Don’t stand at the doorway, come in.” Chu Jinyun smiled and welcomed them inside.
“Mother, Ningyi and Luoluo are here. They’ve even brought Xiao Luoning. Look at this child, he looks just like Ningyi when he was that age.” The Second Aunt remarked with a smile.
Shui Anluo looked up and stared straight into Qiao Huihe’s scrutinizing gaze.
Qiao Huihe got up and narrowed her eyes at Shui Anluo. She then spoke indifferently, “Didn’t I tell you not to come?”
When the old woman said this, a thick, syrupy awkwardness appeared immediately around them. Several elders and young ones who had intended to greet Chu Ningyi paused in their footsteps.
Shui Anluo frowned and did not reply.
Chu Ningyi kept his arm around Shui Anluo’s shoulder but increased his grip. He bent down and placed the gift in his hand on the desk then said indifferently, “Xiao Luoning had chosen this gift for you. Since you don’t welcome us, Grandmother, we’ll be leaving now.”
Chu Ningyi’s voice was just as indifferent as ever. He did not question Shui Anluo over when his grandmother had asked her not to come and immediately said something to protect her.
He did not even ask his grandmother to stop saying these kinds of things. Instead, he simply took Shui Anluo and her son and left.
Because he would not allow his woman to suffer any grief…
“Ya pu…” The little darling’s large eyes darted everywhere, seemingly unaware of what had happened. He had just seen a lot of people and was in a daze.
The atmosphere plunged into awkwardness. The little darling gurgled, babbled and buried himself into his mommy’s arms. He did not seem to like this place.
A maid cut across the awkward crowd and took small steps to Qiao Huihe’s side. She then whispered into her ear, “Elder Madam, Young Master Mo has arrived.”
