Shui Anluo breathed intensely, trying to stabilize her shock.
However, when she laid her eyes on the person before her, she went into a daze.
Her senior brother who has always favored white clothes was now dressed in black. Her senior brother, who has always been clean-cut, now looked as unkempt as a beggar who was begging for money on the street. Her senior brother, who never liked drinking, was now drenched in the stench of alcohol.
“Senior Brother…” Her lips quivered, unable to believe that the sloppy, haggard and dead-drunk man was her fallen immortal-like Senior Brother.
Because of her?
That can’t be right!
Mo Lusu was dazed. He seemed to be unable to see the person in front of him. He pressed his dirty hand on the elevator wall then slowly got up and swayed toward Shui Anluo.
Chu Ningyi took one step forward and pulled Shui Anluo out of the elevator before Mo Lusu could touch her, dragging her behind him.
Mo Lusu paused. He pushed one hand on the elevator door before it closed and walked out.
Chu Ningyi handed the little darling over to Shui Anluo and looked back at Mo Lusu. He growled angrily, “Look at yourself, what do you think you look like?”
Shui Anluo pursed her lips and stared at the dispirited Mo Lusu.
What on earth had Senior Brother gone through during this past half a month?
“What do I look like?” Mo Lusu suddenly asked. His voice was as hoarse as old tree bark in the early winter, dry and rough.
He staggered forward. “You had been better than me in everything ever since we were children. Now, even the woman I love belongs to you. Even she belongs to you!” Mo Lusu cried out loudly.
Maid Yu had been awaiting their return inside the home. She quickly ran out when she heard the commotion outside. At first glance, she was unable to recognize Mo Lusu.
“Oh my, what’s going on here?” Maid Yu quickly asked.
The mischievous child was currently nestled in his mommy’s arms. This uncle was scary and he was also smelly.
Shui Anluo lowered her eyelids. She felt strangely disappointed but she could not say why.
“Maid Yu, bring her inside.” Chu Ningyi’s gaze remained on Mo Lusu.
However, the tone of his voice indicated that he was now in a bad mood.
The tips of Shui Anluo’s fingers shook. Aside from the stench of alcohol on Mo Lusu’s body, the air was filled with his mournful sobs.
Shui Anluo handed the little darling to Maid Yu before she walked to the man who was slumped against the elevator again. She slowly held his hand, “Senior Brother…”
Mo Lusu looked up. His absent-minded gaze slowly flickered with light at the sight of Shui Anluo.
“Luoluo, don’t you know how much I love you?” He suddenly spoke. He reached out and tried to place his hand on Shui Anluo’s shoulder.
Chu Ningyi acted again. Shui Anluo fell into his arms and Mo Lusu’s hand happened to land on his arm.
“Mo Lusu, I believe that the issue between the two of you have been discussed clearly, you have to understand that she’s your cousin-in-law,” Chu Ningyi warned and looked down at Shui Anluo. “Get in.”
“Chu Ningyi.” Shui Anluo frowned. All things considered, she could not possibly be expected to ignore her senior brother at the time like this, right?
“Get in.” Chu Ningyi’s expression turned uglier.
“He’s still my senior brother.” Shui Anluo persisted.
Even though some things have been clearly discussed and perhaps they could not be able to remain as friends, she would not be able to leave him alone in this state even if they were strangers anyway.
The cold air around Chu Ningyi thickened. He looked at Shui Anluo with a gaze that seemed to be tempered with cold ice.
