Chu Ningyi had been angry but he laughed in spite of his anger due to her cautious demeanor.

Did she really think that he would be angry with her just because of a dish?

Shui Anluo relaxed when she saw Chu Ningyi laugh. At least this man would not stay angry at her.

Everything was fine as long as he did not get angry and throw a fit.

Shui Anluo pushed Chu Ningyi back to the table like before and handed him his chopsticks.

“Are you really that eager to punish Feng Feng?”

“Very much so. If I can’t punish him, I won’t be able to sleep tonight,” Shui Anluo replied through gritted teeth.

From this morning until night time, Feng Feng had brought harm upon her twice. How could she not punish him?

“With that much determination, why don’t you consider punishing Shui Anjiao?” Chu Ningyi scoffed and continued to eat.

Shui Anluo paused before she looked at Chu Ningyi. The expression in her eyes were definitely those of a suck-up. “Why, do you want to help, Director Chu?” She, a little girl who has nothing, had no right to go up against an old fox like An Jiahui.

“Do whatever you want, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens,” Chu Ningyi replied generously.

Shui Anluo dropped her chopsticks when she heard this. Her chin nearly dropped as well.

Shui Anluo could even hear the sound of her own saliva being swallowed. ‘ Director Chu, you’re scaring me!’

‘Don’t make it such that we look like lovers, we have nothing between us.’

“Oh that, hehe, no need no need,” Shui Anluo picked up her chopsticks, closed her jaw and hurriedly replied. She did not wish to owe this man too much. She was going to leave once her mother comes back.

“Shui Anluo, I’m courting you.”

Pfft...

Shui Anluo was shocked and almost choked to death on her own spit. If she had not knelt to the point of degradation, she would certainly have rushed toward Chu Ningyi, hugged his legs and cried: ‘Director Chu, I’ve only hurt your leg, not your brain!’

Shui Anluo neglected her meal before finishing it and ran away.

Director Chu must have suffered brain damage as well. Otherwise, why would he have said such a thing?

After Shui Anluo returned to her room, she slapped her own face. Perhaps she had imagined it, that must be it.

Chu Ningyi courting her was most definitely a fantasy!

Shui Anluo looked at her son who had slept to the point where he could not differentiate between day or night. Indeed, Chu Ningyi would commit all sorts of crimes in order to have his son. He would even say anything.

However, she was curious. Does Chu Ningyi really want the child that much?

Chu Ningyi stared at the tightly shut door of the guest room and narrowed his eyes. What had that little girl meant? Was being courted by him so frightening?

‘However, why did I even say that? That I would court that girl?’

‘I must have gone mad.’

Chu Ningyi shook his head then continued to eat with his chopsticks. He must have been unwilling to watch the child grow up without both parents.

Shui Anluo conveyed this incident to Qiao Yaruan who was also rendered speechless.

“Crap, is Chu Ningyi blind?”

This was the conclusion Qiao Yaruan had arrived at after being speechless for half a day.

This conclusion caused Shui Anluo’s heart to break into pieces. “Whose side are you on?”

“Is that even a question? Of course I’m on the handsome man’s side!” Qiao Yaruan replied matter-of-factly.

Shui Anluo was struck speechless too.

This was a great example of a bad friend. Her belief in the righteousness of good-looking people was to the point of indignation.

“Let me tell you this, if someone is courting you, let him do it. However, it’s such a pity...” Qiao Yaruan shut her mouth before she could finish her sentence.
