Shui Anluo stared at the phone when the call ended. She then looked at Qiao Yaruan who was seated next to her and questioned her with a look in her eyes — What had that meant?
Qiao Yaruan looked up at the ceiling, refusing to answer the idiotic question.
Feng Feng got up and gracefully straightened his pajamas. He then looked down to check the time. He believes that he should leave now or he would be the first one to get hit when Eldest Chu arrives.
After all, he really never expected Chu Ningyi to make that call and say those words. Shui Anluo was an idiot and could not comprehend his meaning but that does not mean Feng Feng could not — Eldest Chu has a taboo and yet he was here.
What a petty man.
Feng Feng got changed and left immediately after that. As Shui Anluo would have said, it was like running from disaster.
“Anyone ignorant would think that he and I had done something!” Shui Anluo watched the door slam shut before she turned back to look at Qiao Yaruan.
Qiao Yaruan shrugged. She continued to hug her pillow as she looked at Shui Anluo. “What is it?”
“Nothing, Yuan Jiayi had scalded herself with hot water and sustained third-degree burns. She’s now lying in the hospital.” Shui Anluo hugged a cushion as well and sat on the other end of the sofa as she looked at Qiao Yaruan.
“Heh, she’s really good at burning herself,” Qiao Yaruan scoffed.
Shui Anluo held the cushion tightly and tipped her head to one side. “Are you saying that Yuan Jiayi has arrived to take Lin Qianchen’s place?”
Qiao Yaruan shrugged. In her point of view, Yuan Jiayi would be harder to defeat compared to Lin Qianchen. Now, the only card Shui Anluo holds was Chu Ningyi’s feelings for her.
Shui Anluo stared at Qiao Yaruan before pressing her face into the cushion.
Chu Ningyi arrived very quickly. That was how it felt to Shui Anluo, at least. It had not even been twenty minutes when a knock sounded on the door.
Qiao Yaruan yawned and got up. “I’m going back to sleep. There’s no space for you to sleep here so you better follow Director Chu home.”
“Hey...” Shui Anluo cried out in anger but Qiao Yaruan had already returned to the room, disregarded all sisterly love, and closed the door.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips. At this moment, Qiao Yaruan was just like her beautiful brother — someone who deserves a beating. Both of them greatly wish to push her toward Chu Ningyi.
After the person had knocked three times on the door, they made no other movement. Shui Anluo curiously turned around to look, had he gone back?
Before Shui Anluo could finish formulating her thoughts, she heard the sound of a key turning in the lock. Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched and she soon saw Chu Ningyi’s cold, handsome face.
Once Chu Ningyi walked in, he leaned against the door and twirled the keys in his hand. The smirk on his lips implied an underlying message. However, after one clear sweep across the room, he could not manage to detect his target of concern. This was very good.
“How did you get the key to my house?” Shui Anluo asked in disbelief.
“From my mother-in-law.” Chu Ningyi raised his brow and the key away as he slowly walked toward Shui Anluo.
Shui Anluo stared at him as if she were looking at a madman. Why had he knocked if he had the key?
However, before Shui Anluo could ask, the person walking toward her had sat down on the sofa.
Chu Ningyi placed one hand on the back of the couch and pressed her down with his other hand, trapping her entirely.
“The knock on the door was your chance to redeem yourself but it seems that you had not valued it.” Chu Ningyi slowly closed in on her. His warmth drew nearer and nearer, slowly jumping onto her fair cheeks.
