Chu Ningyi shot her an icy glare before he turned around and entered the washroom.
Shui Anluo pulled a face behind his back. She sat up again and pulled her blanket away to stare at her foot which was wrapped like a dumpling. How could she be so unlucky?
Furthermore, Chu Ningyi had said that it was due to personal reasons. From Shui Anluo’s point of view, he must have meant that this injury had come from her own stupidity!
Shui Anluo turned around and noticed that her bag and phone were both on the table. She snatched her phone immediately and called Qiao Yaruan.
“You came to visit me?” Shui Anluo asked after the call connected.
“Yes, you were sleeping like a pig,” Qiao Yaruan teased. “Besides, your Director Chu had the words ‘no strangers allowed’ written across his face so I’d left after putting your things down. Hey, Xiao Luozi, you’ve really fought it out this time, you’ve even been sent to the hospital.”
Shui Anluo sat dejectedly on the bed and said in a muffled voice, “I’d injured my foot myself.”
P’tui… Qiao Yaruan spat out all the water in her mouth as she brushed her teeth. She did not seem to have heard what Shui Anluo had said. “What did you say?”
“I said I’d injured myself. Who’d have known that Luo Xuan’s car tire would be so hard.” Shui Anluo was complaining about someone else’s car tire.
“Hehe, you sure are great, you’re absolutely formidable. You’re the extreme version of your Director Chu.” Qiao Yaruan chuckled.
Shui Anluo rolled her eyes. “Hey, let me ask you something, do you really have no feelings for Feng Feng?” Shui Anluo asked seriously. She had thought things over. If Qiao Yaruan has no feelings for Feng Feng, telling her would not be so hurtful.
Qiao Yaruan bit her toothbrush and was in a blur. However, this caused Shui Anluo’s heart to skip a beat.
“How could I possibly have feelings for him, quit playing.” Qiao Yaruan laughed. “Alright, I have to brush my teeth, I’m hanging up.”
“Hey…” Shui Anluo was unable to stop her because her friend had already hung up.
Qiao Yaruan looked at her reflection in the mirror after she ended the call. Her mouth was full of foam and she looked like a sloppy female ghost.
‘Do I have feelings for Feng Feng?’
‘Sure, if I’ve gone crazy.’
‘He’s gone and my world has become more peaceful after such great difficulty, right?’
When Chu Ningyi stepped out, Shui Anluo was holding her phone and staring into space. “What is it?”
“I think the Empress Dowager may have fallen for the madman,” said Shui Anluo as she looked up at Chu Ningyi.
Feng Feng, who had just arrived at the doorway, overheard this and paused. He slowly took two steps back.
That woman?
Has feelings for him?
That woman who had insisted that he should disappear has actually fallen for him?
Feng Feng smirked but the joy in his heart was quickly replaced by something else.
Chu Ningyi sat next to the bed and picked up an apple. Shui Anluo shook her head. He picked a banana up next and Shui Anluo shook her head again. Finally, he found a dragon fruit and Shui Anluo nodded, grinning.
This was the benefit of being debilitated. Brother Chu would be particularly well-behaved.
‘However, this isn’t right, shouldn’t I be angry right now?’
Just as Shui Anluo decided to continue being her angry, stubborn self, Chu Ningyi spoke up as he was cutting the dragon fruit for her. “Alright already. Each time you get all sassy and think that you look arrogant but you actually look more like a sassy little lioness. It’s time to stop it.”
Pfft…
Shui Anluo stared at Chu Ningyi in shock. How could he say that? She could be arrogant too, okay?
Shui Anluo lay down as she thought about this. “Whatever it was, you have to apologize.”
