Chu Ningyi reached out and picked the twisting little darling up before placing him on his lap. He was in a particularly good mood.
Shui Anluo lifted her head and stared at the smirk on the corners of his lips. How could he be in a bad mood? He specializes in attacking her for sport.
The dishes were not served leisurely. Shui Anluo knew that the hotel emphasizes refinement so each dish had to be made exquisitely. Therefore, she was in no hurry and simply took her camera to sift through pictures.
The photos were mostly filled with Chu Ningyi and the little darling at the beginning and Shui Anluo near the end. Chu Ningyi had taken those pictures.
Shui Anluo’s previous gloominess instantly disappeared. Brother Chu was more skilled than her, the photos all looked very beautiful.
“Hey, Brother Chu, people say that beauty lies in your lover’s eye. You must really love me, that’s why you’ve taken such good pictures of me,” Shui Anluo said with a grin.
“You’re mistaken, the Chu Group will expand a tour route to Provence soon so I’m collecting promotional material.” This meant that he had taken such nice pictures of her for the sake of advertisement.
Shui Anluo seemed to have become numb to his attacks and she only waved her hand as if she did not care about whatever he had just said. “Whatever, it’s because I’m pretty anyway. I get it.”
Chu Ningyi looked up and stared deeply at her.
“If your studies were half as thick as your face, you wouldn’t fail so much.”
1Uh…
Shui Anluo was enraged. It was time to cut ties, she has to cut ties with him. She decided that she must definitely ignore him for three hours.
The little darling clapped his little hands and gurgled gleefully as if he enjoys the sight of his mommy being bullied.
Suddenly, Shui Anluo’s expression turned extremely ugly.
This little thing, he was living off one person while secretly helping another.
Shui Anluo thought and reached out for her phone to look for consolation.
Empress Dowager, I’m being bullied.
In the quiet interior of the hotel’s private room, Qiao Yaruan was watching as the man across her ordered some dishes. She frowned but she did not agree to anything.
She pulled her phone out when she heard it chime and unlocked it. She then read the message.
Qiao Yaruan raised her brow.
How nice, being bullied by my god.
F*ck, where’s your moral integrity?
Didn’t you eat it all up long ago?
Hence, Shui Anluo grew silent. Everyone was bullying her so she decided to ignore these villains.
After Feng Feng finished ordering the dishes, he handed the menu to the waiter. “I say, it’s my birthday today. Can you not look at me with this stepmother’s face?”
“Can’t do anything about that, I was born this way,” Qiao Yaruan replied with a forced smile.
Feng Feng scoffed, “I’ve seen how infatuated you look when you smile at Mo Lusu.”
Bringing up Mo Lusu again opened a wound in her heart. This was a secret love that had died before it even got to see the light of day.
Feng Feng saw the sunken look on Qiao Yaruan’s face and felt very annoyed. “What’s so great about that man until you can’t seem to forget him?”
Qiao Yaruan slowly raised her head and calmly stared at Feng Feng. “He’s better than you. Besides, stop looking like a jealous husband. We’re not that close.”
‘Jealous husband?’
Those words rammed into Feng Feng’s ears without any warning.
Was he acting like a jealous husband to her?
Feng Feng smirked and slowly said, “Qiao Yaruan.” He placed both hands on the table as he spoke and slowly inched toward Qiao Yaruan, forcing her to lean against the back of her chair with no way out. He then spoke softly, “I’m courting you, aren’t I? Since I like you, how could I let you fall for someone else?”
His breath was even and happened to brush against her lips.
