Qiao Yaruan stared at Shui Anluo and only managed to restrain herself with a great amount of willpower. She then turned around to look at Feng Feng with a gaze so fake that nothing could beat its level of inauthenticity. “Long time no see, Senior Brother.”
‘Once I get that money, I’ll hate you to death’, thought Qiao Yaruan secretly.
Chu Ningyi furrowed his brows at Shui Anluo, hinting at her to hold her horses.
Shui Anluo grinned and raised her chopsticks to pick some dishes. “Hey, madman, oh sorry, I mean Senior Brother, I didn’t know that you’re still our senior brother earlier on. I must have really offended you,” Shui Anluo said and she picked some food for him.
Cough…
Chu Ningyi was annoyed. Who was this little girl picking food for?
‘Uh…’
Shui Anluo shook. Her chopsticks made one more round to Feng Feng’s bowl before they returned to Chu Ningyi’s bowl. “Eat up, Brother Chu.” Then he should talk a little less.
Feng Feng, who had intended to return Qiao Yaruan’s reply, felt shivers down his back when he heard what Shui Anluo had said. This does not seem right.
“If you have something to say, just say it,” Silver Screen King Feng said arrogantly.
Shui Anluo rolled her eyes internally. This man’s temper was worse than her Young Master Chu’s. Anyone would be dumb to fall for him.
However, of all people, her shrewd Empress Dowager had actually fallen for him!
Furthermore, he has a hidden agenda!
Therefore, who else could she trap with this money aside from him?
She had initially intended to let the Empress Dowager do all the dirty work but she was afraid that she might get suspicious. That was why she had suggested a fifty-fifty split.
Chu Ningyi knows that her heart was burning with rage so he decisively betrayed his brother at this very moment. It was a better move to stay on his wife’s good side.
“Alright then, I’ll be frank, I’ve taken a liking to your actor’s remuneration fees so I’d like half of it,” Shui Anluo replied straight away without a shred of modesty.
‘Half?’
Feng Feng raised his brow. That was forty million dollars, she really has the guts.
“On what basis?” Feng Feng smiled but his voice was chilly.
“On the basis that we want it?”
Feng Feng’s eyes darted between the two girls. Who could tell what was lying beneath that deep gaze?
The little darling babbled and gurgled as he banged on the table with his small hands. He was waiting for dad to feed him some egg custard. The grown-ups were so irritating.
Chu Ningyi accepted the egg custard that Maid Yu had served. Maid Yu had always used less egg white and one whole yolk when she made this because she was afraid that the child might be sensitive to egg whites. Besides, she would make this for the little darling once every two days. Once she can see that he does not have a reaction to egg white, she would slowly increase the ratio.
Hence, to the little darling, this was a delicacy that he could only enjoy once every two days. How could he allow these common folk to disturb him?
The little darling was satisfied once he ate his satisfactory egg custard. He began to lean into his dad’s arms to happily watch the show.
Feng Feng suddenly got up and pressed his hands on the table as he slowly inched closer to Qiao Yaruan. “If you want it, why don’t I give you all of it?”
Qiao Yaruan automatically backed away but Shui Anluo never expected this matter to develop into this stage. Their plan had been to make this a fair game and the cheap tricks have not been launched yet.
Chu Ningyi slowly lifted his head to look at Feng Feng. He then lowered his head to continue his duties as a full-time stay-at-home dad and feed his child.
Qiao Yaruan tried her best to steady her emotions. She replied indifferently, “It’s not meaningful if you just give it away for nothing like that, right?”
Feng Feng walked around the table and get closer to her. It was this moment when he realized that he had missed her scent more than he had thought.
No other woman had exuded such a pure and fresh scent.
“Hadn’t the both of you intended to get it for nothing?”
His warm breath brushed uninhibitedly on her fair cheeks because he was now much too close.
