Shui Anluo turned around and stared at Chu Ningyi in disbelief.
“And then?”
“I stopped him. She’s probably headed back to Old Fourth’s place now,” Chu Ningyi said as he stared at the little darling who continued to lean on his thigh. He was not learning to stand up, he has turned into a thigh keychain.
Chu Ningyi gently raised his leg, lifting the little darling along with it. The little darling gurgled with laughter and slid from his dad’s thigh onto his dad’s tummy. Finally, his dad scooped him into his arms.
The little darling’s large eyes darted around as if he has become addicted to a game. He struggled to get down to hug his dad’s leg once more. He patted his dad’s thigh with his little hand, asking his dad to lift his leg up.
Chu Ningyi raised his brow. This kid was going against the heavens, he had the audacity to order his father around.
Shui Anluo turned around and bit the tip of her broken pen, lost in thought. Feng Feng had acted a bit too impulsively.
Ever since Feng Feng’s forced marriage affair, Qiao Yaruan would insist that she was alright each time Shui Anluo called her.
However, this matter annoyed Chu Ningyi.
One night, after the little darling had fallen asleep, Shui Anluo finished reading her book and picked her phone up with the intention to call Qiao Yaruan again. However, a certain thieving man snatched her phone away.
“Enough, why had I not received a call from you all day?” Chu Ningyi asked in a dark voice as he threw the phone onto the table.
Shui Anluo blinked. ‘The Empress Dowager is a girl. Brother Chu, what’re you getting jealous about?’
“You leave in the morning and come back at night. Why should I call you?” Shui Anluo looked particularly innocent.
“Heh…” Chu Ningyi smiled ambiguously and got up from the bed. He then took her phone and left the room with it.
Uh…
What was going on?
Was this a jealous reaction from the contrary Director?
Actually, the Director had his reasons for being jealous. He happened to step out from a meeting during lunchtime and heard a phone call from his executive’s wife. He had not known about the details of the situation.
However, after that phone call, the executive had said: “Women these days have this great urge to call eighty times a day just to check on you. I’m at work, what kind of sin am I going to commit against her?”
Eighty phone calls a day?
Director Chu had silently retained this fact and returned to his office. He then stared at his phone which had not even received spam messages. Instantly, he felt crushed.
‘Isn’t she afraid that I might have an affair?’
‘Isn’t she afraid that I might commit some sort of sin against her?’
Then he arrives home and sees how Qiao Yaruan would receive a call, sometimes more, in a day. Why would Director Chu not feel enraged?
Therefore, the best way for Director Chu to show his fury was to snatch her phone and leave.
Shui Anluo stared at the little darling who was sound asleep. “What’s up with your dad?”
Unfortunately, the little darling could not answer her.
Shui Anluo seriously though back on their conversation.
“Enough. Why had I not received a call from you all day?”
“You leave in the morning and come back at night. Why should I call you?”
There was nothing wrong there!
Director Chu must have reached menopause so her best choice was to ignore him.
Chu Ningyi returned to his own room with Shui Anluo’s phone in hand. The master bedroom which had been neglected by its master for more than half a month was finally inhabited again.
Chu Ningyi was still stewing in anger. Unfortunately, that woman never even came over. This caused Chu Ningyi to get even angrier.
Just as he was bubbling with anger, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. Chu Ningyi looked down, saw the name of the person who had sent the message and raised his brow.
