Chu Ningyi slowly closed his newspaper and put it aside.
Shui Anluo tapped her fingers softly against the table as if she was afraid she would disturb him from reading his newspaper.
Chu Ningyi reached out and stroked her head. “Didn’t you want to chat?”
Shui Anluo looked up at him and pouted her lips again. “Do you think that I’m childish? You don’t even want to talk to me.”
This was the issue she had been thinking about earlier on. He was more than thirty years old but she was only in her early twenties. Three years equals one generation gap and there were many gaps between both of them.
Chu Ningyi frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about? I just think that there’s no need to mention him between us.”
“However, as someone who knows him, I don’t see the problem in asking that question. You’re complicating things,” Shui Anluo said, unsatisfied.
“Who is it that won’t let me even mention Yuan Jiayi’s name?” Chu Ningyi raised his brow.
“I…” Shui Anluo was instantly unable to retaliate.
“What, isn’t it a double standard now?” Chu Ningyi scoffed.
Shui Anluo smiled awkwardly and ran to his side. She promptly sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “But my relationship with Senior Brother is pure.”
“Is my relationship with Yuan Jiayi unpure?” Chu Ningyi said in an increasingly dangerous tone.
Shui Anluo’s lips twitched even more. Director Chu had killed her off in every sentence.
Shui Anluo raised one hand and replied seriously, “I swear, this really comes from the heart of a Junior Sister.”
“Then on my end, it comes from the heart of someone who’s repaying a debt of gratitude.” Chu Ningyi continued to scoff though he did not loosen his grip around her.
Shui Anluo pulled her hand back to hold his neck tightly. “Alright, let’s talk about something else. Your mother told me that the Chu Family isn’t as it seems. Then what is it like?”
Chu Ningyi reached out and held her wrist, stopping her from her convulsions. Honestly, he did not like such silly acts but this was his little wife, his wife who was so much younger than him. He could only go with the flow.
“The Chu Family?” He slowly asked, “What does the Chu Family have?”
“I don’t know either. I got the feeling that she had made it all sound so mysterious.” Shui Anluo saw the quick flash of his frown and shrunk her neck to become a little more serious.
“There’s nothing mysterious about the Chu Family. If you’re talking about mysteries, it’s probably our expansion over the past few years but all of this had stemmed from your father-in-law and your husband’s abilities. There’s no mystery in that.” Chu Ningyi raised his brow as he spoke.
“Eh… What would happen if you stopped being so narcissistic?”
“This is a fact!” Chu Ningyi retorted with complete innocence.
Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. This was a Director Chu who does not fear being struck by lightning from his pretentiousness, she concedes!
“What’re you mumbling about?” Chu Ningyi lowered his head and stared at the mumbling little girl then promptly nipped her on her lips.
Shui Anluo shook her head and grinned. “I was just saying that you’re very cool, Brother Chu. So cool that you’re unrivaled in the universe.”
“What nonsense is that.”
“So there is a generation gap.” Shui Anluo sighed.
Chu Ningyi paused and his body stiffened a little.
He was indeed much older than her and did not know her trends or her hobbies.
1Chu Ningyi held her close as he thought about this. “Are you regretting it?”
“No way,” Shui Anluo quickly replied and looked up at Chu Ningyi. “Let me tell you that if you regret this now, it’s too late too.” She had nearly thrown her life away twice in order to acknowledge this feeling. How could she possibly regret it?
“I’m very much older than you,” Chu Ningyi stated honestly.
“What a coincidence, I’m very much younger than you,” Shui Anluo replied with a grin.
